<content type='text'>
commit 9f35a33b8d06263a165efe3541d9aa0cdbd70b3b upstream.

Fix a NULL pointer deref in the user-defined key type whereby updating a
negative key into a fully instantiated key will cause an oops to occur
when the code attempts to free the non-existent old payload.

This results in an oops that looks something like the following:

<title>bluetooth: Properly clone LSM attributes to newly created child connections</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6230c9b4f8957c8938ee4cf2d03166d3c2dc89de</id>
<content type='text'>
The Bluetooth stack has internal connection handlers for all of the various
Bluetooth protocols, and unfortunately, they are currently lacking the LSM
hooks found in the core network stack's connection handlers.  I say
unfortunately, because this can cause problems for users who have have an
LSM enabled and are using certain Bluetooth devices.  See one problem
report below:

 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741703

In order to keep things simple at this point in time, this patch fixes the
problem by cloning the parent socket's LSM attributes to the newly created
child socket.  If we decide we need a more elaborate LSM marking mechanism
for Bluetooth (I somewhat doubt this) we can always revisit this decision
in the future.

<title>VFS : mount lock scalability for internal mounts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:423e0ab086ad8b33626e45fa94ac7613146b7ffa</id>
<content type='text'>
For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs
and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in
mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just
local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release
reference to file objects.  In fact, only local lock need to have been
taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of
going away until we are ready to unregister them.

The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without
mount point as long term.  The contentions of vfs_mount lock
is now eliminated.  Before un-registering such file system,
kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and
make the mount point ready to be freed.
