[PATCH] Fix large core dumps with a 32-bit off_t

2005-06-16T16:02:59+00:00

The ELF core dump code has one use of off_t when writing out segments.
Some of the segments may be passed the 2GB limit of an off_t, even on a
32-bit system, so it's important to use loff_t instead.  This fixes a
corrupted core dump in the bigcore test in GDB's testsuite.

[PATCH] NFS: Ensure that we revalidate the cached file length for llseek(SEEK_END)

2005-06-13T17:33:02+00:00

This fixes a data corruption error for mail delivery applications that
expect to be able to do posix locking and then append writes on NFS.

[PATCH] NFS: Fix lookup intent handling

2005-06-07T22:53:47+00:00

We should never apply a lookup intent to anything other than the last
path component in an open(), create() or access() call.

Introduce the helper nfs_lookup_check_intent() which always returns
zero if LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_PARENT are set, and returns the
intent flags if we're on the last component of the lookup.
By doing so, we fix a bug in open(O_EXCL), where we may end up
optimizing away a real lookup of the parent directory.

[PATCH] binfmt_flat mmap flag fix

2005-06-06T21:57:51+00:00

Make sure that binfmt_flat passes the correct flags into do_mmap().  nommu's
validate_mmap_request() will simple return -EINVAL if we try and pass it a
flags value of zero.

[PATCH] namei fixes (19/19)

2005-06-06T21:42:27+00:00

__do_follow_link() passes potentially worng vfsmount to touch_atime().  It
matters only in (currently impossible) case of symlink mounted on something,
but it's trivial to fix and that actually makes more sense.

Cosmetical cleanups - __follow_mount() calls in __link_path_walk() absorbed
into do_lookup().

Obviously equivalent transformation.

[PATCH] namei fixes (17/19)

2005-06-06T21:42:27+00:00

follow_mount() made void, reordered dput()/mntput() in it.

follow_dotdot() switched from struct vfmount ** + struct dentry ** to
struct nameidata *; callers updated.

Equivalent transformation + fix for too-early-mntput() race.

2005-06-06T21:42:27+00:00

Conditional mntput() moved into __do_follow_link().  There it collapses with
unconditional mntget() on the same sucker, closing another too-early-mntput()
race.
