2009-09-09wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removalLuis R. Rodriguez
The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore, and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware. It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users out there please let us know!

2009-09-08kmemleak: add clear command supportLuis R. Rodriguez
In an ideal world your kmemleak output will be small, when its not (usually during initial bootup) you can use the clear command to ingore previously reported and unreferenced kmemleak objects. We do this by painting all currently reported unreferenced objects grey. We paint them grey instead of black to allow future scans on the same objects as such objects could still potentially reference newly allocated objects in the future. To test a critical section on demand with a clean /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak you can do: echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak test your kernel or modules echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Then as usual to get your report with: cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-09-07ALSA: dummy - Fake buffer allocationsTakashi Iwai
Instead of allocating the real buffers, use a fake buffer and ignore read/write in the dummy driver so that we can save the resources. For mmap, a single page (unique to the direction, though) is reused to all buffers. When the app requires to read/write the real buffers, pass fake_buffer=0 module option at loading time. This will get back to the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2009-09-04sctp: Sysctl configuration for IPv4 Address ScopingBhaskar Dutta
This patch introduces a new sysctl option to make IPv4 Address Scoping configurable <draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00.txt>. In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses, SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the kernel due to address scope match failure. For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's, and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping draft is strictly followed. This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such unconventional networking environments. Sysctl options: 0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether 1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior) 2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack 3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack Signed-off-by: Bhaskar Dutta <bhaskar.dutta@globallogic.com> Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>
2009-09-04tracing: Remove mentioning of legacy latency_trace file from documentationAlbin Tonnerre
The latency_trace file got removed a while back by commit 886b5b73d71e4027d7dc6c14f5f7ab102201ea6b and has been replaced by the latency-format option. This patch fixes the documentation by reflecting this change.

2009-09-02KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]David Howells
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this will be after a wait*() syscall. To support this, three new security hooks have been provided: cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if the process may replace its parent's session keyring. The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it. Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path. This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace execution. This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed the newpag flag. This can be tested with the following program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> #define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18 #define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0) int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_serial_t keyring, key; long ret; keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]); OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring"); key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring); OSERROR(key, "add_key"); ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT); OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT"); return 0; } Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like: [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043 [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 1055658746 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello 340417692 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named 'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

2009-09-02KEYS: Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. [try #6]David Howells
Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. This involved erasing all links to such keys from keyrings that point to them. At that point, the key will be deleted in the normal manner. Keyrings from which garbage collection occurs are shrunk and their quota consumption reduced as appropriate. Dead keys (for which the key type has been removed) will be garbage collected immediately. Revoked and expired keys will hang around for a number of seconds, as set in /proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay before being automatically removed. The default is 5 minutes.
