[PATCH] Fix memory leak in vc_resize/vc_allocate

Memory leaks can happen in the vc_resize() function in drivers/char/vt.c
because of the vc->vc_screenbuf variable overriding in vc_allocate().  The
kmemleak reported trace is as follows:

  <__kmalloc>
  <vc_resize>
  <fbcon_init>
  <visual_init>
  <vc_allocate>
  <con_open>
  <tty_open>
  <chrdev_open>

This patch no longer allocates a screen buffer in vc_allocate() if it was
already allocated by vc_resize().

[PATCH] fix wrong error code on interrupted close syscalls

The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush
handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back
an -ERESTARTSYS return value.  This happens for files backed by an
interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just
been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a
signal pending.

I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a
process sleeping in such a close().  Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the
victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in
force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is
terminated early.

But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler
was called.  Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor
appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong).  What's
worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a
multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which
case that file would be mistakenly closed.

The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus
-ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR.  This is consistent
with the close(2) manual page.  The fix is below.

[PATCH] memory ordering in __kfifo primitives

Both __kfifo_put() and __kfifo_get() have header comments stating that if
there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not
necessary.  This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are
needed.  Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the
bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who
currently don't use locking to add the required locking.  The attachment

[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.

Introduce is_init to capture this case.

With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

[PATCH] tty locking on resize

The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the
resize against the tty structure updates.  This means that while two
parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results
reported.

Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the
console.  This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console
driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good

Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any
longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

[PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fields

[assuming BSD security levels are deleted]
The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux,
however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel.
So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each
security field is likely an overkill.

Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is
moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs
and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster.

The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is
still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner"
occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig
build.

struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct
become smaller.

P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to
linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page.

[PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=ordered

ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the
length of time a journal replay may take after a crash.  Sometimes, writing
metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing

This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin.

This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before
trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction.  It is low risk because if
a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay
after a crash.

[PATCH] clean up and remove some extra spinlocks from rtmutex

Oleg brought up some interesting points about grabbing the pi_lock for some
protections.  In this discussion, I realized that there are some places
that the pi_lock is being grabbed when it really wasn't necessary.  Also
this patch does a little bit of clean up.

This patch basically does three things:

1) renames the "boost" variable to "chain_walk".  Since it is used in
   the debugging case when it isn't going to be boosted.  It better
   describes what the test is going to do if it succeeds.

2) moves get_task_struct to just before the unlocking of the wait_lock.
   This removes duplicate code, and makes it a little easier to read.  The
   owner wont go away while either the pi_lock or the wait_lock are held.

3) removes the pi_locking and owner blocked checking completely from the
   debugging case.  This is because the grabbing the lock and doing the
   check, then releasing the lock is just so full of races.  It's just as
   good to go ahead and call the pi_chain_walk function, since after
   releasing the lock the owner can then block anyway, and we would have
   missed that.  For the debug case, we really do want to do the chain walk
   to test for deadlocks anyway.

[PATCH] fix Intel RNG detection

Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number
generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge
device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code
would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG.  This patch adds
detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG.

There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC
equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care
about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use
the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the
device list needed to be changed).

[PATCH] mount udf UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY partitions with MS_RDONLY

There's a bug where a UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY udf partition gets mounted
read-write, then subsequent problems happen; files seem to be able to be
removed, but file creation results in EIO or worse, oops.

EIO is coming from udf_new_block(), which returns EIO if the right flags
aren't set; only UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY is set in this case.  We probably
s hould not have gotten this far...

that their "rw" mount request has been converted to "ro."

[PATCH] ignore partition table on disks with AIX label

The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem
layout is not known.  There is a msdos partition signature at the end of
the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping)
partitions.  But they are not usable.  Maybe the firmware uses it to find
the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared.

This is the content of the partition table:
 # dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd
0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  ................
0000010: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...
0000020: 00ff ffff 41ff ffff 0211 0000 1900 0000  ....A...........
0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...

Handle the whole disk as empty disk.

This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly
fdisk) with /proc/partitions.  fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long
time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown.

dmesg will look like this:
 sda: [AIX]  unknown partition table

[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...

[PATCH] blockdev.c: check driver layer errors

Check driver layer errors.

Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>

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.
