Resounding ACK. I just finished *exactly* the same set of changes, composed the patch and was about to hit send when this one came over the wire from you! There was absolutely no differences between our patches (save for the fact I did not place the AIF ones in as they are already in the queue, one is already on -mm). I am going to return to this at some future date and figure out the problems surrounding the context imbalances that are present, making code that determines which context it is called from (sysfs, error recovery or from the background thread) and plays with the various locks confuses sparse. Rewriting so that the contexts are less programmatic is in order...
