[PATCH] fix garbage instead of zeroes in UFS

Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:

ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata.  But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().

So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.

I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.

The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification".  I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

[PATCH] Check for populated zone in __drain_pages

Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones
before touching pagesets.  However, __drain_pages does not do so,

This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated
zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug.

Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot
pagesets.  Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will
not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap.

If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp
pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages
does not first check for an unpopulated zone.

If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will
ignore the unpopulated zone.  So the pageset pointers will still be NULL.

If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to
drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

[PATCH] fix memory corruption from misinterpreted bad_inode_ops return values

CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching
the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as:

static int return_EIO(void)
{
        return -EIO;
}

#define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO))

static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
        .create         = bad_inode_create
...etc...

The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.

This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...

I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
for each return type, like this:

static int return_EIO_int(void)
{
return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int))

static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
.create = EIO_ERROR_INT,
...etc...

but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
actual op signature.  Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
a value.

[PATCH] KVM: Improve interrupt response

The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under
the following circumstances:

 - if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear,
   or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction).  Userspace can check rflags,
   but the other cases or not testable under the current API.
 - if injection fails because of a fault during delivery.  This probably
   never happens under normal guests.
 - if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that
   it can be handled by the host.

In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing
the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest.

This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit

[PATCH] Add AFS_SUPER_MAGIC to magic.h

Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project
which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic
number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field
of the fsinfo structure on Linux:

  https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html

Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.

USB: usblp.c - add Kyocera Mita FS 820 to list of "quirky" printers

This patch gets the Kyocera FS-820 working with cups 1.2 via usb again. It
adds the printer to the list of "quirky" printers. The printer seems not
answer to ID requests some seconds after plugging in. Patch is based on
linux-2.6.19.1.

Background:
As far as I could see (strace, usbmon), the Kyocera FS-820 answers to ID
requests only a few seconds after plugging it in. This applies to detecting
it with cups and is also true for the printing itself, which is initiated
with an ID request. Since I have little usb knowledge, maybe someone can
interpret the data, especially the fist bulk transfer - why request 8192
bytes? This is the second version of the patch.
