Linus, please pull from the for-linus branch at

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git for-linus

to receive one post .27 regression fix, one fix for an old corner-case
bug, and two things that may be questionable for a pull request in the
-rc phase but I'd like to get rid of:

Kay Sievers (2):

ieee1394: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()

ieee1394: dv1394: fix possible deadlock in multithreaded clients

Fix a possible though highly unlikely deadlock:

Thread A: Thread B:
- acquire mmap_sem - dv1394_ioctl/read/write()
- dv1394_mmap() - acquire video->mtx
- acquire video->mtx - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault:
acquire mmap_sem

The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in
dv1394_mmap(). This changes the behavior under contention in a way
which is visible to userspace clients. However, my guess is that no
clients exist which use mmap vs. ioctl/read/write on the dv1394
character device file interface in concurrent threads.

ieee1394: raw1394: fix possible deadlock in multithreaded clients

Regression in 2.6.28-rc1: When I added the new state_mutex which
prevents corruption of raw1394's internal state when accessed by
multithreaded client applications, the following possible though
highly unlikely deadlock slipped in:

Thread A: Thread B:
- acquire mmap_sem - raw1394_write() or raw1394_ioctl()
- raw1394_mmap() - acquire state_mutex
- acquire state_mutex - copy_to/from_user(), possible page fault:
acquire mmap_sem

The simplest fix is to use mutex_trylock() instead of mutex_lock() in
raw1394_mmap(). This changes the behavior under contention in a way
which is visible to userspace clients. However, since multithreaded
access was entirely buggy before state_mutex was added and libraw1394's
documentation advised application programmers to use a handle only in a
single thread, this change in behaviour should not be an issue in
practice at all.

Since we have to use mutex_trylock() in raw1394_mmap() regardless
whether /dev/raw1394 was opened with O_NONBLOCK or not, we now use
mutex_trylock() unconditionally everywhere for state_mutex, just to have
consistent behavior.
