c420bc9 Linus Torvalds 26 May 2007, 02:55:14 UTC Linux 2.6.22-rc3 It's that time of the year again. Summer starts in the US, and people want to sit at the beach with a new -rc candidate. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 26 May 2007, 02:55:14 UTC
f4d43bd Hugh Dickins 25 May 2007, 23:39:17 UTC fix compat console unimap regression Why is it that since the 2f1a2ccb9c0de632ab07193becf5f7121794f6ae console UTF-8 fixes went into 2.6.22-rc1, the PowerMac G5 shows only inverse video question marks for the text on tty2-6? whereas tty1 is fine, and so is x86. No fault of that patch: by removing the old fallback behaviour, it reveals that 32-bit setfont running on 64-bit kernels has only really worked on the current console, the rest getting faked by that inadequate fallback. Bring the compat do_unimap_ioctl into line with the main one: PIO_UNIMAP and GIO_UNIMAP apply to the specified tty, not redirected to fg_console. Use the same checks, and most particularly, remember to check access_ok: con_set_unimap and con_get_unimap are using __get_user and __put_user. And the compat vt_check should ask for the same capability as the main one, CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG rather than CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Added in vt_ioctl's vc_cons_allocated check for safety, though failure may well be impossible.

14e50e5 David S. Miller 25 May 2007, 01:17:54 UTC [XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution. The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the -EAGAIN buisness we had before. Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules. We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in libc. With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default. This lays the framework to either: 1) Make this default at some point or... 2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of. The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved in a certain amount of time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 25 May 2007, 01:17:54 UTC

ba78073 Vasily Averin 24 May 2007, 23:58:54 UTC [NET]: "wrong timeout value" in sk_wait_data() v2 sys_setsockopt() do not check properly timeout values for SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO, for example it's possible to set negative timeout values. POSIX do not defines behaviour for sys_setsockopt in case negative timeouts, but requires that setsockopt() shall fail with -EDOM if the send and receive timeout values are too big to fit into the timeout fields in the socket structure. In current implementation negative timeout can lead to error messages like "schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value". Proposed patch: - checks tv_usec and returns -EDOM if it is wrong - do not allows to set negative timeout values (sets 0 instead) and outputs ratelimited information message about such attempts.

98d8256 Thomas Gleixner 23 May 2007, 20:58:18 UTC Prevent going idle with softirq pending The NOHZ patch contains a check for softirqs pending when a CPU goes idle. The BUG is unrelated to NOHZ, it just was made visible by the NOHZ patch. The BUG showed up mainly on P4 / hyperthreading enabled machines which lead the investigations into the wrong direction in the first place. The real cause is in cond_resched_softirq(): cond_resched_softirq() is enabling softirqs without invoking the softirq daemon when softirqs are pending. This leads to the warning message in the NOHZ idle code: t1 runs softirq disabled code on CPU#0 interrupt happens, softirq is raised, but deferred (softirqs disabled) t1 calls cond_resched_softirq() enables softirqs via _local_bh_enable() calls schedule() t2 runs t1 is migrated to CPU#1 t2 is done and invokes idle() NOHZ detects the pending softirq Fix: change _local_bh_enable() to local_bh_enable() so the softirq daemon is invoked.

53a2731 Michael Halcrow 23 May 2007, 20:58:15 UTC eCryptfs: delay writing 0's after llseek until write Delay writing 0's out in eCryptfs after a seek past the end of the file until data is actually written. http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/lseek.html ``The lseek() function shall not, by itself, extend the size of a file.'' Without this fix, applications that lseek() past the end of the file without writing will experience unexpected behavior.

ae2d990 Alan Stern 23 May 2007, 20:58:12 UTC HiSax: fix error checking for hisax_register()] This patch (as875) adds error-checking to the callers of hisax_register().
