USB: input: extract() and implement() are bit field manipulation routines
extract() and implement() have brain damaged attempts to handle 32-bit wide
"fields".
The problem is the index math in the original code didn't clear all the
relevant bits. (offset >> 5) only compensated for 32-bit index. We need
(offset >> 6) if we want to use 64-bit loads.
But it was also wrong in that it tried to use quasi-aligned loads. Ie
"report" was only incremented in multiples of 4 bytes and then the offset
was masked off for values greater than 4 bytes. The right way is to
pretend "report" points at a byte array. And offset is then only minor
adjustment for < 8 bits of offset. "n" (field width) can then be as big as
24 (assuming 32-bit loads) since "offset" will never be bigger than 7.
If someone needs either function to handle more than 24-bits, please
document why - point at a specification or specific USB hid device - in
comments in the code.
extract/implement() are also an eyesore to read. Please banish whoever

[PATCH] ISDN: fix drivers, by handling errors thrown by ->readstat()
This is a particularly ugly on-failure bug, possibly security, since the
lack of error handling here is covering up another class of bug: failure to
handle copy_to_user() return values.
The I4L API function ->readstat() returns an integer, and by looking at
several existing driver implementations, it is clear that a negative return
value was meant to indicate an error.
Given that several drivers already return a negative value indicating an
errno-style error, the current code would blindly accept that [negative]
value as a valid amount of bytes read. Obvious damage ensues.
Correcting ->readstat() handling to properly notice errors fixes the
existing code to work correctly on error, and enables future patches to
more easily indicate errors during operation.

If a client creates a file using an open which sets the mode to 000, or if a
chmod changes permissions after a file is opened, then situations may arise
where an NFS client knows that some IO is permitted (because a process holds
the file open), but the NFS server does not (because it doesn't know about the
open, and only sees that the IO conflicts with the current mode of the file).
As a hack to solve this problem, NFS servers normally allow the owner to
override permissions on IO. The client can still enforce correct
permissions-checking on open by performing an explicit access check.
In NFSv4 the client can rely on the explicit on-the-wire open instead of an
access check.
Therefore we should not be allowing the owner to override permissions on an
over-the-wire open!
However, we should still allow the owner to override permissions in the case
where the client is claiming an open that it already made either before a
reboot, or while it was holding a delegation.

Fuse considered it an error (EIO) if lookup returned a directory inode, to

But in a network filesystem this could happen legitimately, if a directory is
moved on a remote client. This patch attempts to relax the restriction by
trying to first evict the offending alias from the cache. If this fails, it
still returns an error (EBUSY).
A rarer situation is if an mkdir races with an indenpendent lookup, which
finds the newly created directory already moved. In this situation the mkdir
should return success, but that would be incorrect, since the dentry cannot be
instantiated, so return EBUSY.
Previously checking for a directory alias and instantiation of the dentry
weren't done atomically in lookup/mkdir, hence two such calls racing with each
other could create aliased directories. To prevent this introduce a new
per-connection mutex: fuse_conn->inst_mutex, which is taken for instantiations

The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the per-connection

[PATCH] vmalloc(): don't pass __GFP_ZERO to slab
A recent change to the vmalloc() code accidentally resulted in us passing
__GFP_ZERO into the slab allocator. But we only wanted __GFP_ZERO for the
actual pages whcih are being vmalloc()ed, and passing __GFP_ZERO into slab is
not a rational thing to ask for.

[PATCH] knfsd: add nfs-export support to tmpfs
We need to encode a decode the 'file' part of a handle. We simply use the
inode number and generation number to construct the filehandle.
The generation number is the time when the file was created. As inode numbers
cycle through the full 32 bits before being reused, there is no real chance of
the same inum being allocated to different files in the same second so this is
suitably unique. Using time-of-day rather than e.g. jiffies makes it less
likely that the same filehandle can be created after a reboot.
In order to be able to decode a filehandle we need to be able to lookup by
inum, which means that the inode needs to be added to the inode hash table
(tmpfs doesn't currently hash inodes as there is never a need to lookup by
inum). To avoid overhead when not exporting, we only hash an inode when it is
first exported. This requires a lock to ensure it isn't hashed twice.
This code is separate from the patch posted in June06 from Atal Shargorodsky
which provided the same functionality, but does borrow slightly from it.
Locking comment: Most filesystems that hash their inodes do so at the point
where the 'struct inode' is initialised, and that has suitable locking
(I_NEW). Here in shmem, we are hashing the inode later, the first time we
need an NFS file handle for it. We no longer have I_NEW to ensure only one
thread tries to add it to the hash table.

[PATCH] remove carta_random32
This library function should be in obj-y and not in lib-y. But when we do
that it clashes unpleasantly with the assembly-language implementation in the
ia64 architecture.
Instead of trying to fix it all up, just remove the generic carta_random32 in
the expectation that the recently-made-generic random32() will suffice.
If/when perfmon is migrated to random32, ia64's private carta_random32
implementation can also be removed.
Make net_random() more widely available by calling it random32
akpm: hopefully this will permit the removal of carta_random32. That needs
confirmation from Stephane - this code looks somewhat more computationally
expensive, and has a different (ie: callee-stateful) interface.
