      floppy: fix another use-after-free · d017bf6b
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      While scanning the floopy code due to c093ee4f ("floppy: fix
      use-after-free in module load failure path"), I found one more instance
      of trying to access disk->queue pointer after doing put_disk() on
      gendisk.  For some reason , floppy moule still loads/unloads fine.  The
      object is probably still around with right pointer values.
      
       o There seems to be one more instance of trying to cleanup the request
         queue after we have called put_disk() on associated gendisk.
      
       o This fix is more out of code inspection.  Even without this fix for
         some reason I am able to load/unload floppy module without any
         issues.
      
       o Floppy module loads/unloads fine after the fix.

      TTY: move .gitignore from drivers/char/ to drivers/tty/vt/ · 1db01135
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      The autogenerated files (consolemap_deftbl.c and defkeymap.c) need to
      be ignored by git, so move the .gitignore file that was doing it to the
      properly location now that the files have moved as well.

      ipw2x00: remove the right /proc/net entry · 151f52f0
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit 27ae60f8 ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where
      appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix
      up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/
      directory.
      
      For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained
      "ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts
      and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead.  Which made it all
      fail badly.
      
      For example, on module unload as reported by Randy:
      
        WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e()
        name 'libipw'
      
      because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously
      doesn't even exist.
      
      Clean it all up to use DRV_PROCNAME for the actual /proc directory name.

      floppy: fix use-after-free in module load failure path · c093ee4f
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit 48821184 ("floppy: switch to one queue per drive instead of
      sharing a queue") introduced a use-after-free.  We do "put_disk()" on
      the disk device _before_ we then clean up the queue associated with that
      disk.
      
      Move the put_disk() down to avoid dereferencing a free'd data structure.

      posix-cpu-timers: workaround to suppress the problems with mt exec · e0a70217
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does
      posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
      timers from signal->cpu_timers list.
      
      But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group
      leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group.
      
      This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader.
      After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems.
      
      It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think
      that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct.
      Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular,
      tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of
      nontrivial and hard-to-test changes.
      
      Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when
      the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the
      temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW,
      this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway:
      cpu timers do not work after mt exec.
      
      In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can
      detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However,
      the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we
      can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().
