Junjiro R.  Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit.  In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.

We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).

To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers

Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm

yet will not be loaded automatically with a system interface handler

Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by the

Warning(linux-2.6.27-rc3-git2//include/linux/kernel.h:129): No description found for parameter 'line'

When ecryptfs allocates space to write crypto headers into, before copying
it out to file headers or to xattrs, it looks at the value of
crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front to determine how much space it
needs.  This is also used as the file offset to the actual encrypted data,
so for xattr-stored crypto info, the value was zero.

So, we kzalloc'd 0 bytes, and then ran off to write to that memory.
(Which returned as ZERO_SIZE_PTR, so we explode quickly).

The right answer is to always allocate a page to write into; the current
code won't ever write more than that (this is enforced by the
(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - offset) length in the call to
ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set).  To be explicit about this, we now send
in a "max" parameter, rather than magically using PAGE_CACHE_SIZE there.

Also, since the pointer we pass down the callchain eventually gets the
virt_to_page() treatment, we should be using a alloc_page variant, not
kzalloc (see also 7fcba054)

By default, non-privileged tasks can only mlock() a small amount of
memory to avoid a DoS attack by ordinary users.  The Linux kernel
defaulted to 32k (on a 4k page size system) to accommodate the needs of
gpg.

However, newer gpg2 needs 64k in various circumstances and otherwise
fails miserably, see bnc#329675.

Change the default to 64k, and make it more agnostic to PAGE_SIZE.
