      do_wait: return security_task_wait() error code in place of -ECHILD · 14dd0b81
      Roland McGrath authored
      This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb1
      "do_wait: fix security checks".  That change reverted the effect of commit
      73243284.  The rationale for the original
      commit still stands.  The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by
      ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way
      invalidates its purpose.
      
      This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait()
      (usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the
      caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure.  A
      permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy
      problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs.

      ptrace children revamp · f470021a
      Roland McGrath authored
      ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
      old ptrace_children list is gone.  Now ptrace, whether of one's own
      children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
      list instead.
      
      There should be no user-visible difference that matters.  The only
      change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
      children and stopped ptrace attachees.  Since wait_task_stopped()
      was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
      already know this won't cause any new problems.

      do_wait reorganization · 98abed02
      Roland McGrath authored
      This breaks out the guts of do_wait into three subfunctions.
      The control flow is less nonobvious without so much goto.
      do_wait_thread and ptrace_do_wait contain the main work of the outer loop.
      wait_consider_task contains the main work of the inner loop.

      scsi_dh: Verify "dev" is a sdev before accessing it. · 33af79d1
      Chandra Seetharaman authored
      Before accessing the device data structure in hardware handlers,
      make sure it is a indeed a sdev device.
      
      Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> found the bug on Jul 16, 2008,
      and later tested/verified the following fix.
