improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on
a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE:

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.19
2 1.11
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.22
2 6.69
in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:
wake-idle wake-idle+newidle
-------------------------------------------------
1: 830 834 +0.43%
2: 1391 1401 +0.65%
4: 3105 3091 -0.43%
8: 6021 6046 +0.42%
16: 10745 10736 -0.08%
32: 10150 10206 +0.55%
64: 9240 9533 +3.08%
128: 8252 8355 +1.24%
256: 8144 8384 +2.87%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 57882 58591 +1.21%
as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.
sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, rfcomm_sk_state_change() does the
following operation:
if (parent && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED)) {
/* We have to drop DLC lock here, otherwise
* rfcomm_sock_destruct() will dead lock. */
rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
rfcomm_sock_kill(sk);
rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
}
}
which is fine, since rfcomm_sock_kill() will call sk_free() which will call
rfcomm_sock_destruct() which takes the rfcomm_dlc_lock()... so far so good.
HOWEVER, this assumes that the rfcomm_sk_state_change() function always gets
called with the rfcomm_dlc_lock() taken. This is the case for all but one
case, and in that case where we don't have the lock, we do a double unlock
followed by an attempt to take the lock, which due to underflow isn't
going anywhere fast.
This patch fixes this by moving the stragling case inside the lock, like
the other usages of the same call are doing in this code.
This was found with the help of the www.kerneloops.org project, where this
deadlock was observed 51 times at this point in time:

This addresses a NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get().
TID and sta_info are extracted in ADDBA Timer expiry function
through the timer handler's argument.
The problem is extracging the TID (which was stored in
timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which
may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results
in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers.
ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in
sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local
pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in
stat_info_get().
The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8
instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires
some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming
patches.
