* [PATCH] raw_sendmsg DoS on 2.6Mark J Cox2005-09-192-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fix unchecked __get_user that could be tricked into generating a memory read on an arbitrary address. The result of the read is not returned directly but you may be able to divine some information about it, or use the read to cause a crash on some architectures by reading hardware state. CAN-2004-2492. Fix from Al Viro, ack from Dave Miller. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Alpha: ISA IRQs fixup for dp264Ivan Kokshaysky2005-09-191-18/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically, this extends original dp264 fixup to all dp264 variations. Here is one minor change: mask out bits 4-7 of a value assigned by SRM, because - newer consoles report ISA IRQs with offset 0xe0; - even if console IRQ value is bogus, we'll have a value < 16 so it should be harmless as it won't clash with native IRQs. Particularly this fixes USB interrupt problem on xp1000 and es40.

| | * [ARM] 2917/1: Make IXP4xx mach_desc's depend on config optionsDeepak Saxena2005-09-181-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Deepak Saxena Building a kernel for IXDP425 currently includes the machine descriptors for IXDP465 and PRPMC1100 even if those machines are not configured. This means we can build a kernel that boots on those machines even though the machine_is_xxx() macro will always return 0 and other bits such as PCI won't be compiled in. This can lead to many wasted hours wondering what you have done to your kernel to make it randomly crash thus requireing large quantities of beer to be consumed. While I am all for consumption of large quantities of beer, there are better reasons to do so then stupid kernel bugs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Florin Malita <fmalita@gmail.com> bond_init() is not releasing rtnl_sem after register_netdevice() and before calling unregister_netdevice() (from bond_free_all()) in the exception path. As the device registration is not completed (dev->reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERING), the call to unregister_netdevice() triggers BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED).

| | * [NETFILTER] CLUSTERIP: use a bitmap to store node responsibility dataKOVACS Krisztian2005-09-161-82/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of maintaining an array containing a list of nodes this instance is responsible for let's use a simple bitmap. This provides the following features: * clusterip_responsible() and the add_node()/delete_node() operations become very simple and don't need locking * the config structure is much smaller In spite of the completely different internal data representation the user-space interface remains almost unchanged; the only difference is that the proc file does not list nodes in the order they were added.

| | * [NETFILTER] CLUSTERIP: introduce reference counting for entriesKOVACS Krisztian2005-09-161-18/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CLUSTERIP target creates a procfs entry for all different cluster IPs. Although more than one rules can refer to a single cluster IP (and thus a single config structure), removal of the procfs entry is done unconditionally in destroy(). In more complicated situations involving deferred dereferencing of the config structure by procfs and creating a new rule with the same cluster IP it's also possible that no entry will be created for the new rule. This patch fixes the problem by counting the number of entries referencing a given config structure and moving the config list manipulation and procfs entry deletion parts to the clusterip_config_entry_put() function.

The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid entry in image_type. The fix is to only print a warning message and not the buffer. Usability enhancements: It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver. This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to image_type. This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one version of this patch can be found here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ). This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was modified from 0..1 to 0..2. However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.

| * | [PATCH] ppc32: Add ppc_sys descriptions for PowerQUICC I devicesVitaly Bordug2005-09-176-1/+315
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added ppc_sys device and system definitions for PowerQUICC I devices. This will allow drivers for PQI to be proper platform device drivers. Currently sys section contains only MPC885 and MPC866. Identification should be done with identify_ppc_sys_by_name call, with board-specific "name" string passed, since PQI do not have any register that could identify the SOC.
