22c8ca7 Nick Piggin 20 February 2007, 21:58:09 UTC [PATCH] fs: fix nobh data leak nobh_prepare_write leaks data similarly to how simple_prepare_write did. Fix by not marking the page uptodate until nobh_commit_write time. Again, this could break weird use-cases, but none appear to exist in the tree. We can safely remove the set_page_dirty, because as the comment says, nobh_commit_write does set_page_dirty. If a filesystem wants to allocate backing store for a page dirtied via mmap, page_mkwrite is the suggested approach.

955eff5 Nick Piggin 20 February 2007, 21:58:08 UTC [PATCH] fs: fix libfs data leak simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data. This happens because the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to. Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those exists in the tree.

34173a4 Miguel Ojeda 20 February 2007, 21:58:00 UTC [PATCH] cfag12864b: fix crash when built-in and no parport present The problem comes when ks0108/cfag12864b are built-in and no parallel port is present. ks0108_init() is called first, as it should be, but fails to load (as there is no parallel port to use). After that, cfag12864b_init() gets called, without knowing anything about ks0108 failed, and calls ks0108_writecontrol(), which dereferences an uninitialized pointer. Init order is OK, I think. The problem is how to stop cfag12864b_init() being called if ks0108 failed to load. modprobe does it for us, but, how when built-in?

bc56bba Eric W. Biederman 20 February 2007, 21:57:53 UTC [PATCH] shm: make sysv ipc shared memory use stacked files The current ipc shared memory code runs into several problems because it does not quite use files like the rest of the kernel. With the option of backing ipc shared memory with either hugetlbfs or ordinary shared memory the problems got worse. With the added support for ipc namespaces things behaved so unexpected that we now have several bad namespace reference counting bugs when using what appears at first glance to be a reasonable idiom. So to attack these problems and hopefully make the code more maintainable this patch simply uses the files provided by other parts of the kernel and builds it's own files out of them. The shm files are allocated in do_shmat and freed when their reference count drops to zero with their last unmap. The file and vm operations that we don't want to implement or we don't implement completely we just delegate to the operations of our backing file. This means that we now get an accurate shm_nattch count for we have a hugetlbfs inode for backing store, and the shm accounting of last attach and last detach time work as well. This means that getting a reference to the ipc namespace when we create the file and dropping the referenece in the release method is now safe and correct. This means we no longer need a special case for clearing VM_MAYWRITE as our file descriptor now only has write permissions when we have requested write access when calling shmat. Although VM_SHARED is now cleared as well which I believe is harmless and is mostly likely a minor bug fix. By using the same set of operations for both the hugetlb case and regular shared memory case shmdt is not simplified and made slightly more correct as now the test "vma->vm_ops == &shm_vm_ops" is 100% accurate in spotting all shared memory regions generated from sysvipc shared memory.

8ef8286 Christoph Lameter 20 February 2007, 21:57:52 UTC [PATCH] slab: reduce size of alien cache to cover only possible nodes The alien cache is a per cpu per node array allocated for every slab on the system. Currently we size this array for all nodes that the kernel does support. For IA64 this is 1024 nodes. So we allocate an array with 1024 objects even if we only boot a system with 4 nodes. This patch uses "nr_node_ids" to determine the number of possible nodes supported by a hardware configuration and only allocates an alien cache sized for possible nodes. The initialization of nr_node_ids occurred too late relative to the bootstrap of the slab allocator and so I moved the setup_nr_node_ids() into free_area_init_nodes().

53b8a31 Christoph Lameter 20 February 2007, 21:57:51 UTC [PATCH] Convert highest_possible_processor_id to nr_cpu_ids We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to allocate arrays for all processors. So far this was done using highest_possible_processor_id(). However, we do need the number of processors not the highest id. Moreover the number was so far dynamically calculated on each invokation. The number of possible processors does not change when the system is running. We can therefore calculate that number once.

74c7aa8 Christoph Lameter 20 February 2007, 21:57:51 UTC [PATCH] Replace highest_possible_node_id() with nr_node_ids highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node arrays. I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value needs to be setup only once on bootup. The node_possible_map does not change after bootup. This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of highest_possible_node_id(). nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the page allocators pagesets are initialized.

e03b526 Ralf Baechle 19 February 2007, 16:59:24 UTC [MIPS] Fixup copy_from_user_inatomic From the 01408c4939479ec46c15aa7ef6e2406be50eeeca log message: The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*. This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing to see). If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an error. The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out bytes on failure. < --- end cite --- > This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

575d5e7 Thomas Gleixner 17 February 2007, 19:03:21 UTC [PATCH] tick management: make broadcast dependent on local APIC The broadcast functionality is only necessary when a local APIC is available. Make the config switch depend on X86_LOCAL_APIC. This resolves the mach-voyager breakage introduced by the tick managament code.

6168a70 Andrew Morton 18 February 2007, 05:22:39 UTC [PATCH] Declare init_irq_proc before we use it. powerpc gets: init/main.c: In function `do_basic_setup': init/main.c:714: warning: implicit declaration of function `init_irq_proc' but we cannot include linux/irq.h in generic code. Fix it by moving the declaration into linux/interrupt.h instead. And make sure all code that defines init_irq_proc() is including linux/interrupt.h.
