This patch fixes a possible NULL dereference in policydb_destroy, where p->type_attr_map can be NULL if policydb_destroy is called to clean up a partially loaded policy upon an error during policy load.

Another case of missing call to security_file_permission: aio functions (namely, io_submit) does not check credentials with security modules. Below is the simple patch to the problem. It seems that it is enough to check for rights at the request submission time.

Fix typos & trailing whitespace. Add blank lines in a few places. Remove "AM53C974=" option: driver does not exist. Restrict to < 80 columns in most places (but don't split formatted command-line arguments). Add a few option arguments for completeness.

That's what we've always historically done, and bigger windows seem to confuse some cardbus bridges. Or something. Alan reports that this makes the ThinkPad 600x series work properly again: the 4kB IO window for some reason made IDE DMA not work, which makes IDE painfully slow even if it works after DMA timeouts.

Bursty timers aren't good for anybody, very much including latency for other programs when we trigger lots of timers in interrupt context. So set a random limit, after which we'll handle the rest on the next timer tick. Noted by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting nud_state. This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr. The result is that the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches NEIGH_FAILED. It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock. In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state. So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally. The reason is that by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update) could have already added a new timer. So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly. This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work. This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same time as a P-state change request. Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times out, but can no longer perform P-state changes. It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the southbridge will acknowledge normally. Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix.

This fixes a stupid typo bug in the iSeries hash table code. When we place a hash PTE in the secondary bucket, instead of setting the SECONDARY flag bit, as we should, we (redundantly) set the VALID flag. This was introduced with the patch abolishing bitfields from the hash table code. Mea culpa, oops. It hasn't been noticed until now because in practice we don't hit the secondary bucket terribly often. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our update_mmu_cache() implementation. The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and _PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass _PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want. In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The (hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

This fixes a typo in the div128_by_32 function used in the timekeeping calculations on ppc64. If you look at the code it's quite obvious that we need (rb + c) rather than (rb + b).

It is legitimate to call tcp_fragment with len == skb->len since that is done for FIN packets and the FIN flag counts as one byte. So we should only check for the len > skb->len case. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

Turns out the problem has nothing to do with use-after-free or double-free. It's just that we're not clearing the CB area and DCCP unlike TCP uses a CB format that's incompatible with IP.

icmp_send doesn't use skb->sk at all so even if skb->sk has already been freed it can't cause crash there (it would've crashed somewhere else first, e.g., ip_queue_xmit). I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though. dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what should free the packet when something goes wrong. Sometimes they both go for the ball and end up in each other's way. This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter what. This makes sense since dccp_transmit_skb which in turn comes from the fact that ip_queue_xmit always frees the packet.

In fact we already have that flag, it's called skb->sk. So here is patch to test that instead of skb_cloned().

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem allocator should be within the requested limit. We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit, alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit is the only api used for swiotlb. The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a cleanup. With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64 arches.

In drivers/acpi/glue.c the address of an integer is cast to the address of an unsigned long. This breaks on systems where a long is larger than an int --- for a start the int can be misaligned; for a second the assignment through the pointer will overwrite part of the next variable.
