Avoid taking tasklist_lock for at getrusage for the multithreaded case too. We don't need to take the tasklist lock for thread traversal of a process since Oleg's do-__unhash_process-under-siglock.patch and related work.

This patch removes the steal_locks() function. steal_locks() doesn't work correctly with any filesystem that does it's own lock management, including NFS, CIFS, etc. In addition it has weird semantics on local filesystems in case tasks sharing file-descriptor tables are doing POSIX locking operations in parallel to execve(). The steal_locks() function has an effect on applications doing: clone(CLONE_FILES) /* in child */ lock execve lock POSIX locks acquired before execve (by "child", "parent" or any further task sharing files_struct) will after the execve be owned exclusively by "child". According to Chris Wright some LSB/LTP kind of suite triggers without the stealing behavior, but there's no known real-world application that would also fail. Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before execve. Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np()) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction. Apps using clone() natively are affected if they - use clone(CLONE_FILES) - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec The above scenarios are unlikely, but possible. If the patch is vetoed, there's a plan B, that involves mostly keeping the weird stealing semantics, but changing the way lock ownership is handled so that network and local filesystems work consistently. That would add more complexity though, so this solution seems to be preferred by most people.

This race became a cause of oops, and can reproduce by the following. while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/.static/dev/hdg1 bs=512 count=1000 & sync done This race condition was between __sync_single_inode() and iput(). cpu0 (fs's inode) cpu1 (bdev's inode) ----------------- ------------------- close("/dev/hda2") [...] __sync_single_inode() /* copy the bdev's ->i_mapping */ mapping = inode->i_mapping; generic_forget_inode() bdev_clear_inode() /* restre the fs's ->i_mapping */ inode->i_mapping = &inode->i_data; /* bdev's inode was freed */ destroy_inode(inode); if (wait) { /* dereference a freed bdev's mapping->host */ filemap_fdatawait(mapping); /* Oops */ Since __sync_single_inode() is only taking a ref-count of fs's inode, the another process can be close() and freeing the bdev's inode while writing fs's inode. So, __sync_signle_inode() accesses the freed ->i_mapping, oops. This patch takes a ref-count on the bdev's inode for the fs's inode before setting a ->i_mapping, and the clear_inode() of the fs's inode does iput() on the bdev's inode. So if the fs's inode is still living, bdev's inode shouldn't be freed.

David Howells authored
Add a revocation notification method to the key type and calls it whilst the key's semaphore is still write-locked after setting the revocation flag. The patch then uses this to maintain a reference on the task_struct of the process that calls request_key() for as long as the authorisation key remains unrevoked. This fixes a potential race between two processes both of which have assumed the authority to instantiate a key (one may have forked the other for example). The problem is that there's no locking around the check for revocation of the auth key and the use of the task_struct it points to, nor does the auth key keep a reference on the task_struct. Access to the "context" pointer in the auth key must thenceforth be done with the auth key semaphore held. The revocation method is called with the target key semaphore held write-locked and the search of the context process's keyrings is done with the auth key semaphore read-locked. The check for the revocation state of the auth key just prior to searching it is done after the auth key is read-locked for the search. This ensures that the auth key can't be revoked between the check and the search. The revocation notification method is added so that the context task_struct can be released as soon as instantiation happens rather than waiting for the auth key to be destroyed, thus avoiding the unnecessary pinning of the requesting process.

Introduce SELinux hooks to support the access key retention subsystem within the kernel. Incorporate new flask headers from a modified version of the SELinux reference policy, with support for the new security class representing retained keys. Extend the "key_alloc" security hook with a task parameter representing the intended ownership context for the key being allocated. Attach security information to root's default keyrings within the SELinux initialization routine. Has passed David's testsuite.

Johannes Berg authored
This patch removes from snd-powermac the code that check for the layout-id and instead adds code that makes it refuse loading when a layout-id property is present, nothing that snd-aoa should be used. It also removes the 'toonie' codec from snd-powermac which was only ever used on the mac mini which has a layout-id property.

Johannes Berg authored
This large patch adds all of snd-aoa. Consisting of many modules, it currently replaces snd-powermac for all layout-id based machines and handles many more (for example new powerbooks and powermacs with digital output that previously couldn't be used at all). It also has support for all layout-IDs that Apple has (judging from their Info.plist file) but not all are tested. The driver currently has 2 known regressions over snd-powermac: * it doesn't handle powermac 7,2 and 7,3 * it doesn't have a DRC control on snapper-based machines I will fix those during the 2.6.18 development cycle.

This patch adds the appropriate pci id to the via82xx ALSA driver so that the quirk is applied automatically, thereby removing the need for users to modify /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (or to unload and reload snd-via82xx with ac97_quirk=hp_only).
