NFS: nfs_lookup - don't hash dentry when optimising away the lookup

2006-12-18T19:55:04+00:00

If the open intents tell us that a given lookup is going to result in a,
exclusive create, we currently optimize away the lookup call itself. The
reason is that the lookup would not be atomic with the create RPC call, so
why do it in the first place?

A problem occurs, however, if the VFS aborts the exclusive create operation
after the lookup, but before the call to create the file/directory: in this
case we will end up with a hashed negative dentry in the dcache that has
never been looked up.
Fix this by only actually hashing the dentry once the create operation has
been successfully completed.

[SCSI] DAC960: PCI id table fixup

2006-12-18T19:53:26+00:00

The PCI ID table in the DAC960 driver conflicts with some devices
that use the ipr driver. All ipr adapters that use this chip
have an IBM subvendor ID and all DAC960 adapters that use this
chip have a Mylex subvendor id.

bridge-netfilter: don't overwrite memory outside of skb

2006-12-18T19:51:43+00:00

The bridge netfilter code needs to check for space at the
front of the skb before overwriting; otherwise if skb from
device doesn't have headroom, then it will cause random
memory corruption.

ISDN: fix drivers, by handling errors thrown by ->readstat()

2006-12-17T23:07:43+00:00

This is a particularly ugly on-failure bug, possibly security, since the
lack of error handling here is covering up another class of bug: failure to
handle copy_to_user() return values.

The I4L API function ->readstat() returns an integer, and by looking at
several existing driver implementations, it is clear that a negative return
value was meant to indicate an error.

Given that several drivers already return a negative value indicating an
errno-style error, the current code would blindly accept that [negative]
value as a valid amount of bytes read.  Obvious damage ensues.

Correcting ->readstat() handling to properly notice errors fixes the
existing code to work correctly on error, and enables future patches to
more easily indicate errors during operation.

r8169: tweak the PCI data parity error recovery

2006-12-17T21:14:09+00:00

The 8110SB based n2100 board signals a lot of what ought to be
PCI data parity errors durint operation of the 8169 as target.
Experiment proved that the driver can ignore the error and
process the packet as if nothing had happened.

Let's add an ad-hoc knob to enable users to fix their system while
avoiding the risks of a wholesale change.
