      Un-inline the core-dump helper functions · 3aa0ce82
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
      0eead9ab ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
      ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.
      
      Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
      happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
      bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.
      
      dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
      and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
      don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
      are.

      Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps · 0eead9ab
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
      dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
      back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
      code).  Just remove it.
      
      Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
      matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
      points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
      
      [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
        calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
        statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
      
      And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
      code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
      compile)

      fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls · 7c534773
      Eric Paris 提交于
      This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
      letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
      to sys_ni_syscall().
      
      It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
      include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
      for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
      as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
      see the file.
      
      This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
      (by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
      was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
      the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
      I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
      use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
      me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
      the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
      needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.
      
      Three choices:
      Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
      new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
      till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
      cycle).  This is number 3.

      exofs: Fix double page_unlock BUG in write_begin/end · f17b1f9f
      Boaz Harrosh 提交于
      This BUG is there since the first submit of the code, but only triggered
      in last Kernel. It's timing related do to the asynchronous object-creation
      behaviour of exofs. (Which should be investigated farther)
      
      The bug is obvious hence the fixed.
