This reverts commit 2b142900784c6e38c8d39fa57d5f95ef08e735d8, since it
seems to break some other USB storage devices (at least a JMicron USB to

would need to be made conditional on the exact reader it fixes in order

Miklos Szeredi [Fri, 1 Aug 2008 18:28:47 +0000 (20:28 +0200)]
mm: dont clear PG_uptodate on truncate/invalidate
Brian Wang reported that a FUSE filesystem exported through NFS could
return I/O errors on read. This was traced to splice_direct_to_actor()
returning a short or zero count when racing with page invalidation.
However this is not FUSE or NFSD specific, other filesystems (notably
NFS) also call invalidate_inode_pages2() to purge stale data from the
cache.
If this happens while such pages are sitting in a pipe buffer, then
splice(2) from the pipe can return zero, and read(2) from the pipe can
return ENODATA.
The zero return is especially bad, since it implies end-of-file or
disconnected pipe/socket, and is documented as such for splice. But
returning an error for read() is also nasty, when in fact there was no
error (data becoming stale is not an error).
The same problems can be triggered by "hole punching" with
madvise(MADV_REMOVE).
Fix this by not clearing the PG_uptodate flag on truncation and
invalidation.

Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.
Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if

You can't just use straight symbol names in common header files as they

PNP: fix formatting of dbg_pnp_show_resources() output
Each resource should be printed on its own line, so start snprintf'ing
at the beginning of the buffer every time through the loop.
Also, use scnprintf() rather than snprintf() when building up the
buffer to print. scnprintf() returns the number of characters actually
written into the buffer (not including the trailing NULL).
snprintf() returns the number of characters that *would be* written,
assuming everything would fit in the buffer. That's nice if we want to
resize the buffer to make sure everything fits, but in this case, I
just want to keep from overflowing the buffer, and it's OK if the
output is truncated.
Using snprintf() meant that my "len" could grow to be more than the
the buffer size, which makes "sizeof(buf) - len" negative, which causes
this alarming WARN_ON:

tracehook: fix exit_signal=0 case
My commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664 introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.
Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

[IA64] Move include/asm-ia64 to arch/ia64/include/asm
After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.

mmc_test: Revert "mmc_test: test oversized sg lists"
This reverts commit 48b5352ea1891455eb8e824cf7d92f66931a090f. Oversized
sg lists are not allowed anymore, and the core even checks for them in

[PATCH] Fix the bug of using AUDIT_STATUS_RATE_LIMIT when set fail, no error output.
When the "status_get->mask" is "AUDIT_STATUS_RATE_LIMIT || AUDIT_STATUS_BACKLOG_LIMIT".
If "audit_set_rate_limit" fails and "audit_set_backlog_limit" succeeds, the "err" value
will be greater than or equal to 0. It will miss the failure of rate set.

When calling audit_filter_task(), it calls audit_filter_rules() with audit_context is NULL.
If the key field is set, the result in audit_filter_rules() will be set to 1 and
ctx->filterkey will be set to key.
But the ctx is NULL in this condition, so kernel will panic.

Thanks for your detailed explanation.
I have made a new patch for outputing "loginuid" and "sessionid" by audit_get_loginuid(current) and audit_get_sessionid(current).

kernel/audit.c control character detection is off-by-one
Hello,
According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:
audit_string_contains_control()
in:
kernel/audit.c
Patch is included.
I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:
If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.
I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

[PATCH] Audit: Collect signal info when SIGUSR2 is sent to auditd
Makes the kernel audit subsystem collect information about the sending
process when that process sends SIGUSR2 to the userspace audit daemon.
SIGUSR2 is a new interesting signal to auditd telling auditd that it
should try to start logging to disk again and the error condition which
caused it to stop logging to disk (usually out of space) has been
rectified.

Re: BUG at security/selinux/avc.c:883 (was: Re: linux-next: Tree
for July 17: early crash on x86-64)
SELinux needs MAY_APPEND to be passed down to the security hook.
Otherwise, we get permission denials when only append permission is
granted by policy even if the opening process specified O_APPEND.
Shows up as a regression in the ltp selinux testsuite, fixed by
this patch.

[S390] Optimize storage key operations for anon pages
For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in
page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is
unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty
bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit.
In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is
pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key
operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap
space.
The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script
gets about 5% faster.
