Some filesystems may want to report different values depending on the path
within the filesystem, i.e. one mount is actually several filesystems. This
can be the case for a network filesystem exported by an unprivileged server
(e.g. sshfs).
This is now possible, thanks to David Howells "VFS: Permit filesystem to
perform statfs with a known root dentry" patch.
This change is backward compatible, so no need to change interface version.

[PATCH] module_subsys: initialize earlier
Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since
it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module
before the device initcalls. Otherwise, kmod will crash in
kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not
initialized yet.
I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules
for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process
itself. I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't
load them other times. Or who is telling kmod to do so. Can someone
explain?

[PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.
While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
"
if (cause < 0) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
goto bad_area;
} else if (!cause) {
/* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
goto bad_area;
} else {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
goto bad_area;
}
"
Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.
Additional discussion:
Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.
The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error
values when some of its operation failed. Among them, it returns -EEXIST when
a given bd_holder object already exists in the list.
However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need
no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object. So I
think it's better to return success after freeing by itself.
Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail.
Typically, lvresize will fails with following message:
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and you'll see messages like below in kernel log:
device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking
fails. I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause
dereference of freed pointer.
If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes
its job by just incrementing the reference count. In this case, it should be
considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free
temporary bd_holder. Fixed it to return success and free given object by
itself.
Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to
the list so that it can be discarded later. Otherwise, the caller will free
bd_holder which is in the list.

[PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessary
Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.
Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.

[PATCH] SELinux: support mls categories for context mounts
Allows commas to be embedded into context mount options (i.e. "-o
context=some_selinux_context_t"), to better support multiple categories,
which are separated by commas and confuse mount.
For example, with the current code:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o \
ro,context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4,exec
The context option that will be interpreted by SELinux is
context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1
instead of
context=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t:s0:c1,c3,c4
The options that will be passed on to the file system will be
ro,c3,c4,exec.
The proposed solution is to allow/require the SELinux context option
specified to mount to use quotes when the context contains a comma.
This patch modifies the option parsing in parse_opts(), contained in
mount.c, to take options after finding a comma only if it hasn't seen a
quote or if the quotes are matched. It also introduces a new function that
will strip the quotes from the context option prior to translation. The
quotes are replaced after the translation is completed to insure that in
the event the raw context contains commas the kernel will be able to
interpret the correct context.

Failing context is a multi threaded process context and the failing
sequence is as follows.
One thread T0 doing self modifying code on page X on processor P0 and
another thread T1 doing COW (breaking the COW setup as part of just
happened fork() in another thread T2) on the same page X on processor P1.
T0 doing SMC can endup modifying the new page Y (allocated by the T1 doing
COW on P1) but because of different I/D TLB's, P0 ITLB will not see the new
mapping till the flush TLB IPI from P1 is received. During this interval,
if T0 executes the code created by SMC it can result in an app error (as
ITLB still points to old page X and endup executing the content in page X
rather than using the content in page Y).
Fix this issue by first clearing the PTE and flushing it, before updating
it with new entry.

I was a bit sceptical, in the habit of thinking that Self Modifying Code
must look such issues itself: but I guess there's nothing it can do to avoid

Fair enough, what you're changing it to is pretty much what powerpc and
s390 were already doing, and is a more robust way of proceeding, consistent
with how ptes are set everywhere else.
The ptep_clear_flush is a bit heavy-handed (it's anxious to return the pte
that was atomically cleared), but we'd have to wander through lots of arches
to get the right minimal behaviour. It'd also be nice to eliminate
ptep_establish completely, now only used to define other macros/inlines: it

[IPVS]: Make sure ip_vs_ftp ports are valid: module_param_array approach
I'm not entirely sure what happens in the case of a valid port,
at best it'll be silently ignored. This patch ensures that
the port values are unsigned short values, and thus always valid.
FIFOCTL_RXERR and FIFOCTL_TXERR are undocumented bits, according to the
Sigmatel datasheet. We should thus not take any assumption on their values
and semantics.

[NET]: Move netlink interface bits to linux/if_link.h.
Moving netlink interface bits to linux/if.h is rather troublesome for
applications including both linux/if.h (which was changed to be included
from linux/rtnetlink.h automatically) and net/if.h.

[XFRM]: Do not add a state whose SPI is zero to the SPI hash.
SPI=0 is used for acquired IPsec SA and MIPv6 RO state.
Such state should not be added to the SPI hash
because we do not care about it on deleting path.
The loopback device status structure is a singleton and doesn't
need to be allocated. Add ethtool_ops hooks to show checksum always on,
and make ethtool_ops const.

[IrDA]: af_irda.c cleanups
We lock the socket when both releasing and getting a disconnected
notification. In the latter case, we also ste the socket as orphan.
This fixes a potential kernel bug that can be triggered when we get the
disconnection notification before closing the socket.

[IPV6]: Disable SG for GSO unless we have checksum
Because the system won't turn off the SG flag for us we
need to do this manually on the IPv6 path. Otherwise we
will throw IPv6 packets with bad checksums at the hardware.
