[PATCH] mempolicy.c compile fix, make sure BITS_PER_BYTE is defined

2006-03-05T19:07:18+00:00

Gar..

mm/mempolicy.c: In function 'get_nodes':
mm/mempolicy.c:527: error: 'BITS_PER_BYTE' undeclared (first use in this function)
mm/mempolicy.c:527: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mm/mempolicy.c:527: error: for each function it appears in.)

About to retry a build with the below patch which should do the trick.
(How did this *ever* build?)

[PATCH] fs/nfs/direct.c compile fix

2006-03-05T19:07:18+00:00

Compile fix:

fs/nfs/direct.c: In function 'nfs_get_user_pages':
fs/nfs/direct.c:110: warning: implicit declaration of function 'nfs_free_user_pages'
fs/nfs/direct.c: At top level:
fs/nfs/direct.c:127: warning: conflicting types for 'nfs_free_user_pages'
fs/nfs/direct.c:127: error: static declaration of 'nfs_free_user_pages' follows non-static declaration
fs/nfs/direct.c:110: error: previous implicit declaration of 'nfs_free_user_pages' was here

This should now be the same as fix that's going upstream.

[PATCH] die_if_kernel() can return (CVE-2006-0742)

2006-03-05T19:07:18+00:00

arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c erroneously marked die_if_kernel()
with a "noreturn" attribute ... which is silly (it returns whenever
the argument regs say that the fault happened in user mode, as one
might expect given the "if_kernel" part of its name!).  Thanks to
Alan and Gareth for pointing this out.

[PATCH] Don't reset rskq_defer_accept in reqsk_queue_alloc

2006-03-05T19:07:17+00:00

In 295f7324ff8d9ea58b4d3ec93b1aaa1d80e048a9 I moved defer_accept from
tcp_sock to request_queue and mistakingly reset it at reqsl_queue_alloc, causing
calls to setsockopt(TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT ) to be lost after bind, the fix is to
remove the zeroing of rskq_defer_accept from reqsl_queue_alloc.

Thanks to Alexandra N. Kossovsky  for
reporting and testing the suggested fix.

[PATCH] IB/mthca: max_inline_data handling tweaks

2006-03-01T22:36:38+00:00

Fix a case where copying max_inline_data from a successful create_qp
capabilities output to create_qp input could cause EINVAL error:

mthca_set_qp_size must check max_inline_data directly against
max_desc_sz; checking qp->sq.max_gs is wrong since max_inline_data
depends on the qp type and does not involve max_sg.

[PATCH] XFS ftruncate() bug could expose stale data (CVE-2006-0554)

2006-03-01T22:36:38+00:00

This is CVE-2006-0554 and SGI bug 942658.  With certain types of
ftruncate() activity on 2.6 kernels, XFS can end up exposing stale
data off disk to a user, putting extents where holes should be.

[PATCH] sbp2: fix another deadlock after disconnection

2006-03-01T22:36:37+00:00

sbp2: fix another deadlock after disconnection

If there were commands enqueued but not completed before an SBP-2 unit
was unplugged (or an attempt to reconnect failed), knodemgrd or any
process which tried to remove the device would sleep uninterruptibly
in blk_execute_rq().  Therefore make sure that all commands are
completed when sbp2 retreats.
