      [AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole. · c7c694d1
      Ralf Baechle DL5RB 提交于
      If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
      (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
      through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
      other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.
      
      Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
      AX.25 dialects.
      
      The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
      unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.
      
      Coverity #651.

      [PATCH] fix file counting · 529bf6be
      Dipankar Sarma 提交于
      I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
      performance difference on kernbench.  Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.
      
      The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
      freeing.  For scalability reasons, file accounting was
      constructor/destructor based.  This meant that nr_files was decremented
      only when the object was removed from the slab cache.  This is susceptible
      to slab fragmentation.  With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
      freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
      with a very fragmented slab -
      
      llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
      587730  0       758844
      
      At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache.  The following
      patch I fixes this problem.
      
      This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
      Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
      accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api.  In the sysctl handler for
      nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.
      
      Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
      inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.
