Driver core fixes for 3.16-rc4

Well, one drivercore fix for kernfs to resolve a reported issue with
sysfs files being updated from atomic contexts, and another lz4 bugfix
for testing potential buffer overflows.

Hi Greg,

What should I do if I come across some coding guidelines issues,
compile warning in some core drivers like fs/, cpuidle etc?

For exa: A fix in CPUIdle
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg668109.html

Shall I continue sending the corrections?  Will they be accepted at
this point of time? Because I saw no response as a lot of code was
being added to these drivers (read cpuidle).

Thanks and Regards
Pramod

It all depends on the maintainers of those drivers / files, please
discuss it with them, I have no control over that.

best of luck,
