eCryptfs has file encryption keys (FEK), file encryption key encryption keys (FEKEK), and filename encryption keys (FNEK). The per-file FEK is encrypted with one or more FEKEKs and stored in the header of the encrypted file. I noticed that the FEK is also being encrypted by the FNEK. This is a problem if a user wants to use a different FNEK than their FEKEK, as their file contents will still be accessible with the FNEK. This is a minimalistic patch which prevents the FNEKs signatures from being copied to the inode signatures list. Ultimately, it keeps the FEK from being encrypted with a FNEK.

When a ramfs nommu mapping is expanded, contiguous pages are allocated and added to the pagecache. The caller's reference is then passed on by moving whole pagevecs to the file lru list. If the page cache adding fails, make sure that the error path also moves the pagevec contents which might still contain up to PAGEVEC_SIZE successfully added pages, of which we would leak references otherwise.

Enrik Berkhan authored
The pages attached to a ramfs inode's pagecache by truncation from nothing - as done by SYSV SHM for example - may get discarded under memory pressure. The problem is that the pages are not marked dirty. Anything that creates data in an MMU-based ramfs will cause the pages holding that data will cause the set_page_dirty() aop to be called. For the NOMMU-based mmap, set_page_dirty() may be called by write(), but it won't be called by page-writing faults on writable mmaps, and it isn't called by ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() when a file is being truncated from nothing to allocate a contiguous run. The solution is to mark the pages dirty at the point of allocation by the truncation code.

dma_map_sg could return a value different to 'nents' argument of dma_map_sg so the ide stack needs to save it for the later usage (e.g. for_each_sg). The ide stack also needs to save the original sg_nents value for pci_unmap_sg.

Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@jp.fujitsu.com> posted a patch series to linux-pci to fix a wrong assumption about pci_bus->self==NULL for all PCI host bus controllers. While PARISC platforms to not behave this way, I prefer to have the code consistent across architectures. The following patch replaces pci_bus->self with pci_bus->parent when used as a test to check for "root bus controller".

commit 11c3b5c3 Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Date: Tue Dec 16 12:24:56 2008 -0800 driver core: move klist_children into private structure Broke our parisc build pretty badly because we touch the klists directly in three cases (AGP, SBA and GSC). Although GregKH will revert this patch, there's no reason we should be using the iterators directly, we can just move to the standard device_for_each_child() API.

Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case with dma_alloc_from_coherent(). Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing beyond the end of the bitmap.

STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus address without registering memory. The nes driver unfortunately allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system). Such access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this driver. The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the driver now registers a special MR for this data.

There was a report of a data corruption http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to reproduce the problem. During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or synchronisation problme. i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In my case it would look like this: CPU0 CPU1 unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode() reg <- inode->i_state reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC reg -> inode->i_state Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again. Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them: inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory either. After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes. I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a real problem for me.

Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all. We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in febf2d95 ("Acer-WMI: fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality"). Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around febf2d95. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g. a598c82f for a similar but correct change. The regression is also in 2.6.28.

Unfortunately, Linux Foundation funding for my work on man-pages/testing/doc under the auspices of the LF documentation fellowship unfortunately ran out a short while ago (after earlier attempts to seek funding, only Google stepped forward with a bit of further funding for the position), so the patch below acknowledges something closer to reality. Unfortunately, there will (probably very) soon be a further downgrade from "Maintained" to "Odd Fixes" or "Orphan", unless some funding miracle occurs. So, if anyone is looking to become man-pages maintainer, there may soon be an opening (okay, don't trample me in the rush ;-).)
