      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.

      elevator: fix oops on early call to elevator_change() · 430c62fb
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler
      instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions.
      This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between
      those two calls. And since we already have this functionality
      directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers
      online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too.
      
      But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state
      before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator
      kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops
      like this:

      drm/ttm: Fix two race conditions + fix busy codepaths · 1df6a2eb
      Thomas Hellstrom 提交于
      This fixes a race pointed out by Dave Airlie where we don't take a buffer
      object about to be destroyed off the LRU lists properly. It also fixes a rare
      case where a buffer object could be destroyed in the middle of an
      accelerated eviction.
      
      The patch also adds a utility function that can be used to prematurely
      release GPU memory space usage of an object waiting to be destroyed.
      For example during eviction or swapout.
      
      The above mentioned commit didn't queue the buffer on the delayed destroy
      list under some rare circumstances. It also didn't completely honor the
      remove_all parameter.

      wait: using uninitialized member of wait queue · 231d0aef

      modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race · 5336377d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
      that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
      possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
      
      However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
      that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
      doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
      dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
      "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
      
      Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
      with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
      module loading lock any more.
      
      So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
      from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
      process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
      are now safe.
      
      Future fixups:
       - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
         belongs.
       - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
         (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
         for other reasons.

      Bluetooth: Fix deadlock in the ERTM logic · e454c844
      Gustavo F. Padovan 提交于
      The Enhanced Retransmission Mode(ERTM) is a realiable mode of operation
      of the Bluetooth L2CAP layer. Think on it like a simplified version of
      TCP.
      The problem we were facing here was a deadlock. ERTM uses a backlog
      queue to queue incomimg packets while the user is helding the lock. At
      some moment the sk_sndbuf can be exceeded and we can't alloc new skbs
      then the code sleep with the lock to wait for memory, that stalls the
      ERTM connection once we can't read the acknowledgements packets in the
      backlog queue to free memory and make the allocation of outcoming skb
      successful.
      
      This patch actually affect all users of bt_skb_send_alloc(), i.e., all
      L2CAP modes and SCO.
      
      We are safe against socket states changes or channels deletion while the
      we are sleeping wait memory. Checking for the sk->sk_err and
      sk->sk_shutdown make the code safe, since any action that can leave the
      socket or the channel in a not usable state set one of the struct
      members at least. Then we can check both of them when getting the lock
      again and return with the proper error if something unexpected happens.
