<title>genirq: Remove the deprecated 'IRQF_DISABLED' request_irq() flag entirely</title>

<id>d8bf368d0631d4bc2612d8bf2e4e8e74e620d0cc</id>
<content type='text'>
The IRQF_DISABLED flag is a NOOP and has been scheduled for removal
since Linux v2.6.36 by commit 6932bf37bed4 ("genirq: Remove
IRQF_DISABLED from core code").

According to commit e58aa3d2d0cc ("genirq: Run irq handlers with
interrupts disabled"), running IRQ handlers with interrupts
enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the
issuing device is still active.

This patch ends the grace period for IRQF_DISABLED (i.e.,
SA_INTERRUPT in older versions of Linux) and removes the
definition and all remaining usages of this flag.

There's still a few non-functional references left in the kernel
source:

  - The bigger hunk in Documentation/scsi/ncr53c8xx.txt is removed entirely
    as IRQF_DISABLED is gone now; the usage in older kernel versions
    (including the old SA_INTERRUPT flag) should be discouraged.  The
    trouble of using IRQF_SHARED is a general problem and not specific to
    any driver.

  - I left the reference in Documentation/PCI/MSI-HOWTO.txt untouched since
    it has already been removed in linux-next.

  - All remaining references are changelogs that I suggest to keep.

The pciinfo struct has a two byte hole after -&gt;dev_fn so stack
information could be leaked to the user.

This was assigned CVE-2013-2147.

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)-&gt;data.  Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

<title>Drivers: block: remove __dev* attributes.</title>

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,

So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops-&gt;sync_page().

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

Use memdup_user when user data is immediately copied into the
allocated region.  Some checkpatch cleanups in nearby code.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression from,to,size,flag;
position p;
identifier l1,l2;
@@

-  to = \(kmalloc@p\|kzalloc@p\)(size,flag);
+  to = memdup_user(from,size);
   if (
-      to==NULL
+      IS_ERR(to)
                 || ...) {
   &lt;+... when != goto l1;
-  -ENOMEM
+  PTR_ERR(to)
   ...+&gt;
   }
-  if (copy_from_user(to, from, size) != 0) {
-    &lt;+... when != goto l2;
-    -EFAULT
-    ...+&gt;
-  }
// &lt;/smpl&gt;
