      [PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototype · 49705b77
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      ->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
      pass down lookup intents.  Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
      actually pass this one down.  For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
      nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
      used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation.  All other
      callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
      lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
      the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it.  All callers already have
      the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.
      
      At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
      are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage.  Before it can
      actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

      [PATCH] add a file_permission helper · 8c744fb8
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access
      pattern on an already open file.  This patch adds a wrapper for permission()
      that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean
      up the callers a little.  The helper is not intended for new code, everything
      without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission()

      [PATCH] add a vfs_permission helper · e4543edd
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Most permission() calls have a struct nameidata * available.  This helper
      takes that as an argument and thus makes sure we pass it down for lookup
      intents and prepares for per-mount read-only support where we need a struct
      vfsmount for checking whether a file is writeable.

      [PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason · 733482e4
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
      #defines are unused in most of the touched files.
      
      A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
      unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
      
      There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
      touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
      the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.
      
      quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`
      
      search pattern:

      [PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix locking in cpufreq drivers · 90d45d17
      Ashok Raj 提交于
      When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock.
      When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt
      to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock.  Since the
      current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need
      to make another attempt to acquire it.
      
      Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is
      under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time.
      
      Thanks to Andrew Morton for the beating:-)

      [PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709) · 330d57fb
      Al Viro 提交于
      You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then
      wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
      hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table.  Then fill it with pointers to your
      function.  Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky,
      you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode.
      
      So this is at least an Oops and possibly more.  It does depend on an
      interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would
      otherwise be.

      [PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module · b3f9b92a
      Matt Domsch 提交于
      From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
      
      The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
      as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
      servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
      (PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
      use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.
      
      This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
      pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
      than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.
      
      Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
      compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
      compression (encryption).
      
      Feedback to <pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> please.
