      [PATCH] remap_file_pages: fix syscall declaration · 5f633f0c
      Andrew Morton authored
      Signed-off-by: default avatarHugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
      sys_remap_file_pages is declared as asmlinkage in mm/fremap.c, but is the one
      syscall declared without asmlinkage in include/linux/syscalls.h.

      [PATCH] remap_file_pages: implement MAP_POPULATE for all protections · 2c60fda2
      Andrew Morton authored
      Signed-off-by: default avatarHugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
      It seems eccentric to implement MAP_POPULATE only on PROT_NONE mappings:
      do_mmap_pgoff is passing down prot, then sys_remap_file_pages verifies it's
      not set.  I guess that's an oversight from when we realized that the prot arg
      to sys_remap_file_pages was misdesigned.
      
      There's another oddity whose heritage is harder for me to understand, so
      please let me leave it to you: sys_remap_file_pages is declared as asmlinkage
      in mm/fremap.c, but is the one syscall declared without asmlinkage in
      include/linux/syscalls.h.

      [PATCH] Fix for lockup in reiserfs acl/xattrs · 5ca68834
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
      
      The following is a patch to fix a locking problem in ACL/xattr code. It
      manifests when a user attempts to set an xattr on a file which they do
      not own, and on which an ACL is applied.
      
      What happens is this:
      reiserfs_setxattr [write lock inode xattr sem]
        ->xattr_set
          -> lookup
             -> __reiserfs_permission [if conditions above are met, and need_lock=
       is
                unset, read lock inode xattr sem] *lockup*
      
      Since we already keep track of when to lock during permission calls, the
      fix is simple: just make the locking conditional as it was before.

      [PATCH] UDF: directory reading fix · 2804eb00
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Ben Fennema <bfennema@falcon.csc.calpoly.edu>
      
      The problem occured when files were stored on the disc in 16-bit per
      character mode when all the upper bits were 0.  The fs module
      converted the file name given by the user to a 8-bit per character
      string to compare, so the comparison always failed.
      
      The patch maps the file from disc into the current locale and then
      compares it directly to the file name given by the user.

      [PATCH] v4l: use saa7111 i2c module in V4L MXB driver · 43b6594e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Michael Hunold <hunold@convergence.de>
      
      The attached patch changes my "Multimedia eXtension Board" (MXB)
      Video4Linux-driver to use the standard saa7111 video decoder infrastructure
      (to which I recently submitted changes through Ronald Bultje) instead of
      some home-brewn direct-access stuff.
      
      Nothing serious, but it removes code duplication and makes the code use the
      video decoder api.

      [PATCH] initramfs uncpio fix · 385b866c
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>
      
      init/initramfs.c::do_skip() has an off-by-one that leads to unpacking
      failures for some gzipped cpio images.  We have
      
      static int __init do_skip(void)
      {
              if (this_header + count <= next_header) {
                      eat(count);
                      return 1;
              } else {
                      eat(next_header - this_header);
                      state = next_state;
                      return 0;
              }
      }
      
      and that <= should actually be <.  It almost never matters, since if we hit
      the boundary case (header ending exactly on the gunzip window end) the
      current variant will simply end up doing extra call of do_skip() when we
      get to the next window and that will finish the work (assign state).  The
      only exception is when we hit that in the last window.  That is, if there's
      nothing after the final header (trailer).  Then we miss the final state
      transition (Skip -> Reset) and get "junk in archive" panic.  Normally
      cpio(1) pads the image to multiple of 512, so we actually have a bunch of
      zeroes after the trailer.  And that almost always saves our butts - trailer
      is followed by zeroes, so we get to Reset state just fine.
      
      So we never see that on small in-kernel image (it's less than 512 bytes, so
      it gets a lot of padding) and we almost never see that on external ones
      (1:127 odds of hitting the bug).

      From: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>
      
      swsusp contained rather nasty bug where it killed machine when intel-agp or
      anything else split kernel 4MB mapping.  Herbert Xu diagnosed this.  Fixed by
      switching to "known good" mapping for during suspend/resume.

      [PATCH] matroxfb: Add support for mapping CRTC<->outputs at boot time · d14672aa
      Andrew Morton authored
      Signed-off-by: default avatarPetr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>
      
      Some people expressed interest in having possibility to set CRTC <->
      outputs mapping at boot time, without having to use 'matroxset' later after
      kernel boots.
      
      This patch adds option 'video=matroxfb:outputs:XYZ', where X sets which
      CRTC will connect to primary output, Y sets secondary output and Z sets DVI
      output.
      
      In addition to that I also added missing memset() into maven, which was
      broken since i2c was kobjectified.

      [PATCH] Fix race condition with current->group_info · 8e56790b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de>
      
      I have been chasing a corruption of current->group_info on PPC during NFS
      stress tests.  The problem seems to be that nfsd is messing with its
      group_info quite a bit, while some monitoring processes look at
      /proc/<pid>/status and do a get_group_info/put_group_info without any locking.
      
      This problem can be reproduced on ppc platforms within a few seconds if you
      generate some NFS load and do a "cat /proc/XXX/status" of an nfsd thread in a
      tight loop.
      
      I therefore think changes to current->group_info, and querying it from a
      different process, needs to be protected using the task_lock.
      
      (akpm: task->group_info here is safe against exit() because the task holds a
      ref on group_info which is released in __put_task_struct, and the /proc file
      has a ref on the task_struct).

      From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
      
      printk currently does
      
      	if (oops_in_progres)

      which means that once we oops, the printk locking is 100% ineffective and
      multiple CPUs make an unreadable mess on a serial console.  It's a significant
      development hassle.
      
      Fix that up by only popping locks once per ten seconds.
      
      akpm@osdl.org did:
      
        - Bump the timeout to 30 seconds - 9600 baud is slow.
      
        - Handle jiffy wraps: change the logic so that we only skip the lockbust
          if the current time is within 30 seconds of the previous lockbusting
          attempt.

      [PATCH] Prevent scary warnings from knfsd · ed8d9961
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>
      
      The kernel currently prints:
      
       nfsd: nobody listening for auth.unix.ip upcall; has some daemon not been started?
      
      on every bootup, during initscripts.
      
      Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> says:
      
        It was part of the recent set of idmapper patches.  Bruce wanted the admin
        to get a warning when the idmapper daemon wasn't running.  I thought the
        same warning should apply to any daemon that responded to upcalls.
      
        In the case of auth.unix.ip it isn't strictly necessary for a daemon to be
        running (for comparability with 2.4).
      
        You can get rid of the warning by doing:
      
          mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfs
      
        before mountd is started (init scripts should start doing this I hope, but
        distributions don't tend to use the init script from nfs-utils, so it is
        hard to push it).  This will trigger mountd to listen on auth.unix.ip and
        others.
      
      
      That's a hassle, so Bruce's patch limits the warning purely to the new
      idmapper cache.  It provides a callback in the cache_detail that individual
      caches can use to log messages when upcalls fail because a userspace daemon
      not running.  Implement this method for the idmapping caches.
