d823f6bfec devcgroup: fix odd behaviour when writing 'a' to devices.allow
# cat /devcg/devices.list
 a *:* rwm
 # echo a > devices.allow
 # cat /devcg/devices.list
 a *:* rwm
 a 0:0 rwm

This is odd and maybe confusing.  With this patch, writing 'a' to
devices.allow will add 'a *:* rwm' to the whitelist.

Also a few fixes and updates to the document.

bef67c5a7d cgroups: document the effect of attaching PID 0 to a cgroup
Document that a pid of zero(0) can be used to refer to the current task
when attaching a task to a cgroup, as in the following usage:

	# echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/tasks

526647320e Make sure all changes to md/dev-XX/state are notified
The important state change happens during an interrupt
in md_error.  So just set a flag there and call sysfs_notify

72a23c211e Make sure all changes to md/sync_action are notified.
When the 'resync' thread starts or stops, when we explicitly
set sync_action, or when we determine that there is definitely nothing
to do, we notify sync_action.

To stop "sync_action" from occasionally showing the wrong value,
we introduce a new flags - MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER - to say that a
recovery is probably needed or happening, and we make sure
that we set MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING before clearing MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED.

0fd62b861e Make sure all changes to md/array_state are notified.
Changes in md/array_state could be of interest to a monitoring
program.  So make sure all changes trigger a notification.

Exceptions:
   changing active_idle to active is not reported because it
      is frequent and not interesting.
   changing active to active_idle is only reported on arrays
      with externally managed metadata, as it is not interesting
      otherwise.

0842b245a8 doc: document the kernel-doc conventions for kernel hackers
Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
to kernel hackers.

Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
here:

  How to format kernel-doc comments

the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.

This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
portions of the kernel.

8f99357329 V4L/DVB (7932): cx18: mark Compro H900 as fully supported.
I always assumed that the Compro H900 could do digital as well,
but it turned out that it is an analog-only card.

571640cad3 ext4: enable barriers by default
I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available;  I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.

An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.

SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.

Also document the mount option while we're at it.

03fb0bce01 fuse: fix bdi naming conflict
Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them
in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev).  This works fine for
anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already
registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a
real block device.  In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned
device is being mounted.

Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems.

Thanks to Ioan Ionita for the bug report.
