This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid()
uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211.
As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion
of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not
be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the
kernel warning message.
Pasted the kernel warning message for reference.

debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a
common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same
memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures;
usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on
default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same
dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This
can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving
something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost.
Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct
(common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future)
that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used
for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

When multicasting the driver sets the number of group addresses using
the count from the previous set multicast command. In general this means
you have to set the multicast addresses twice to get the behaviour you
want.
If we were multicasting, and reduce the number of addresses we are
multicasting to, then the driver would write uninitialised data from the
stack into the group addresses to multicast to.
Only write the multicast addresses we have specifically set.

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be
probably used here.
Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here.
The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer
size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock
now only protects the list).
The pool lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan). It's
necessary because free_pool is now called outside the irq disabled
region. So we need to protect against an interrupt handler which calls
debug_object_init().

A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us
with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the
rcu lock.
The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as
uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time.
So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list.
Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock
and do the memalloc to start IO.
When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices
on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use
list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we
currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock.
The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers
are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev).
However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause
a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the
superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev
lock - which is already held.
This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with
a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory.
All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush.
The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which
will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev. Then open the
array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still
clean.
So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case
where it will cause a deadlock.
So remove it.
This patch possibly addresses the regression recored in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460
and
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11452
though it isn't yet clear how it ever worked.
