Eric Sandeen 55581d018e address hfs on-disk corruption robustness review comments
Address Roman's review comments for the previously sent on-disk
corruption hfs robustness patch.

- use 0 as a failure value, rather than making a new macro HFS_BAD_KEYLEN,
  and use a switch statement instead of if's.

- Add new fail: target to __hfs_brec_find to skip assignments using bad
  values when exiting with a failure.

Michal Schmidt 07a154b2bb proc: loadavg reading race
The avenrun[] values are supposed to be protected by xtime_lock.
loadavg_read_proc does not use it.  Theoretically this may result in an
occasional glitch when the value read from /proc/loadavg would be as much
as 1<<11 times higher than it should be.

Herbert Xu f10db6277d Avoid divide in IS_ALIGN
I was happy to discover the brand new IS_ALIGN macro and quickly used it in
my code.  To my dismay I found that the generated code used division to
perform the test.

This patch fixes it by changing the % test to an &.  This avoids the
division.

Richard MUSIL 5bd91f18be tpm.c: fix crash during device removal
The clean up procedure now uses platform device "release" callback to
handle memory clean up.  For this purpose "release" function callback was
added to struct tpm_vendor_specific, so hw device driver provider can get
called when it is safe to remove all allocated resources.

This is supposed to fix a bug in device removal, where device while in
receive function (waiting on timeout) was prone to segfault, if the
tpm_chip struct was unallocated before the timeout expired (in
tpm_remove_hardware).

Denys Vlasenko eed4a2aba7 printk.c: use unsigned ints instead of longs for logbuf index
Stop using unsigned _longs_ for printk buffer indexes.  Log buffer is way
smaller than 2 gigabytes and unsigned ints will work too .  Indeed, they do
work nicely on all 32-bit platforms where longs and ints are the same.

With this patch, we have following size savings on amd64:

Miao Xie 5e2cb1018a time: fix sysfs_show_{available,current}_clocksources() buffer overflow problem
I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code.

Version:	2.6.24-rc2,
File:		kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432
--------------------------------------------------------------------
static ssize_t
sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf)
{
	struct clocksource *src;
	char *curr = buf;

	spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
	list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) {
		curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name);
	}
	spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock);

	curr += sprintf(curr, "\n");

	return curr - buf;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice
the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE.

I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel
(Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt)

Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources()
buffer overflow problem with snprintf().

Jeff Layton ce88cc5ed8 smbfs: fix calculation of kernel_recvmsg size parameter in smb_receive()
smb_receive calls kernel_recvmsg with a size that's the minimum of the
amount of buffer space in the kvec passed in or req->rq_rlen (which
represents the length of the response).  This does not take into account
any data that was read in a request earlier pass through smb_receive.

If the first pass through smb_receive receives some but not all of the
response, then the next pass can call kernel_recvmsg with a size field
that's too big.  kernel_recvmsg can overrun into the next response,
throwing off the alignment and making it unrecognizable.

This causes messages like this to pop up in the ring buffer:

smb_get_length: Invalid NBT packet, code=69

as well as other errors indicating that the response is unrecognizable.
Typically this is seen on a smbfs mount under heavy I/O.

This patch changes the code to use (req->rq_rlen - req->rq_bytes_recvd)
instead instead of just req->rq_rlen, since that should represent the
amount of unread data in the response.

I think this is correct, but an ACK or NACK from someone more familiar
with this code would be appreciated...

Andries E. Brouwer 0b03cfb25f MNT_UNBINDABLE fix
Some time ago ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/19/128 ) I wrote about
MNT_UNBINDABLE that it felt like a bug that it is not reset by "mount
--make-private".

Today I happened to see mount(8) and Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt and
both document the version obtained by applying the little patch given in
the above (and again below).

So, the present kernel code is not according to specs and must be regarded
as buggy.

Specification in Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt:
See state diagram: unbindable should become private upon make-private.

Specification in mount(8):
    ...  It's
    also possible to  set  up  uni-directional  propagation  (with  --make-
    slave),  to  make  a  mount  point unavailable for --bind/--rbind (with
    --make-unbindable), and to undo any  of  these  (with  --make-private).

Repeat of old fix-shared-subtrees-make-private.patch
(due to Dirk Gerrits, René Gabriëls, Peter Kooijmans):

David Woodhouse 96c5865559 Allow auto-destruction of loop devices
This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are
closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct.

In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with
losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them.

In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'.  That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which
doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which
means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the
'stateless' folks get happier...  and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.

The mount(8) side of that is at

Robin Getz a3b81113fb remove support for un-needed _extratext section
When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
a valid kernel address, even if it is not.  This is because is_ksym_addr()
called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
many archs (which default as zero).  Since PPC was the only kernel which
defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
_extra_text support.

Matt Domsch 8f47f0b688 dcdbas: add DMI-based module autloading
DMI autoload dcdbas on all Dell systems.

This looks for BIOS Vendor or System Vendor == Dell, so this should
work for systems both Dell-branded and those Dell builds but brands
for others.  It causes udev to load the dcdbas module at startup,
which is used by tools called by HAL for wireless control and
backlight control, among other uses.

Thanks to Kay Sievers for figuring out how to do this with a single alias.

David Miller f661197e0a Genericizing iova.[ch]
I would like to potentially move the sparc64 IOMMU code over to using
the nice new drivers/pci/iova.[ch] code for free area management..

In order to do that we have to detach the IOMMU page size assumptions
which only really need to exist in the intel-iommu.[ch] code.

This patch attempts to implement that.

Pierre Peiffer b1ed88b47f IPC: fix error check in all new xxx_lock() and xxx_exit_ns() functions
In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we
use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check.
But ipc_lock may return a errcode.  The use of this errcode in
container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this.

And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct
kern_ipc_per'...

Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these
container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the
errcode isn't changed then.  But in the general case, we can't count on
this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct
this.

Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct.  But, as pointed by
Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in
all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal...

Aneesh Kumar K.V 14e11e106b ext2: change the default behaviour on error
ext2 file system was by default ignoring errors and continuing.  This is
not a good default as continuing on error could lead to file system
corruption.  Change the default to mark the file system readonly.  Debian
and ubuntu already does this as the default in their fstab.
