2007-03-02[NetLabel]: Verify sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mappingPaul Moore
The current CIPSO engine has a problem where it does not verify that the given sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping when the "std" CIPSO DOI type is used. The end result is that bad packets are sent on the wire which should have never been sent in the first place. This patch corrects this problem by verifying the sensitivity level mapping similar to what is done with the category mapping. This patch also changes the returned error code in this case to -EPERM to better match what the category mapping verification code returns.

2007-03-02[PPPOE]: Key connections properly on local device.Florian Zumbiehl
It is based on the assumption that an interface's ifindex is basically an alias for a local MAC address, so incoming packets now are matched to sockets based on remote MAC, session id, and ifindex of the interface the packet came in on/the socket was bound to by connect(). For relayed packets, the socket that's used for relaying is selected based on destination MAC, session ID and the interface index of the interface whose name currently matches the name requested by userspace as the relaying source interface.

2007-03-02[NET]: Fix bugs in "Whether sock accept queue is full" checkingWei Dong
when I use linux TCP socket, and find there is a bug in function sk_acceptq_is_full(). When a new SYN comes, TCP module first checks its validation. If valid, send SYN,ACK to the client and add the sock to the syn hash table. Next time if received the valid ACK for SYN,ACK from the client. server will accept this connection and increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog -- which is done in function tcp_check_req().We check wether acceptq is full in function tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock(). Consider an example: After listen(sockfd, 1) system call, sk->sk_max_ack_backlog is set to 1. As we know, sk->sk_ack_backlog is initialized to 0. Assuming accept() system call is not invoked now. 1. 1st connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk- >sk_ack_backlog=0 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 0 accept this connection. Increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog 2. 2nd connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk- >sk_ack_backlog=1 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 0 accept this connection. Increase the sk->sk_ack_backlog 3. 3rd connection comes. invoke sk_acceptq_is_full(). sk- >sk_ack_backlog=2 sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1, function return 1. Refuse this connection. I think it has bugs. after listen system call. sk->sk_max_ack_backlog=1 but now it can accept 2 connections. Signed-off-by: Wei Dong <weid@np.css.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-03-02[RADEON]: Fix blanking return value.David S. Miller
If you'll recall, over a year ago, I pointed out that the current Radeon driver erroneously returns -EINVAL for valid blanking codes, here is a link to that thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/28/6 No other driver does this, and it confuses the X server into thinking that the device does not support blanking properly. I looked again and there is simply no reason for the Radeon driver to return -EINVAL for FB_BLANK_NORMAL. It claims it wants to do this in order to convince fbcon to blank in software, right here: if (fb_blank(info, blank)) fbcon_generic_blank(vc, info, blank); to software blank the screen. But it only causes that to happen in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case. That makes no sense because the Radeon code does this: val |= CRTC_DISPLAY_DIS; in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case so should be blanking the hardware, and there is therefore no reason to SW blank by returning -EINVAL.

2007-03-02[libata] change master/slave IDENTIFY orderJeff Garzik
2.6.21-rc has horrible problems with libata and PATA cable types (and thus speeds). This occurs because Tejun fixed a pile of other bugs and we now do cable detect enforcement for drive side detection properly. Unfortunately we don't do the process around cable detection right. Tejun identified the problem and pointed to the right Annex in the spec, this patch implements the needed changes. The basic requirement is that we have to identify the slave before the master. The patch switches the identify order so that we can do the drive side detection correctly.

2007-03-02libata-core: Fix simplex handlingAlan
The initial simplex handling code is fooled if you suspend and resume. This also causes problems with some single channel controllers which claim to be simplex. The fix is fairly simple, instead of keeping a flag to remember if we gave away the simplex channel we remember the actual owner. As the owner is always part of the host_set we don't even need a refcount. Knowing the owner also means we can reassign simplex DMA channels in future hotplug code etc if we need to Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> (and a signed-off for the patch I sent before while I remember) Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-03-01[PATCH] Fix get_unmapped_area and fsync for hugetlb shm segmentsAdam Litke
This patch provides the following hugetlb-related fixes to the recent stacked shm files changes: - Update is_file_hugepages() so it will reconize hugetlb shm segments. - get_unmapped_area must be called with the nested file struct to handle the sfd->file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area == NULL case. - The fsync f_op must be wrapped since it is specified in the hugetlbfs f_ops. This is based on proposed fixes from Eric Biederman that were debugged and tested by me. Without it, attempting to use hugetlb shared memory segments on powerpc (and likely ia64) will kill your box.

2007-03-01[PATCH] tty_io: fix race in master pty close/slave pty close pathAristeu Sergio Rozanski Filho
This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index. When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then pty_close() is called: if (tty->driver->close) tty->driver->close(tty, filp); This is done without helding any locks other than BKL. Inside pty_close(), being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed: #ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS if (tty->driver == ptm_driver) devpts_pty_kill(tty->index); #endif But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When this happens and the slave is being opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index: driver = get_tty_driver(device, &index); if (!driver) { mutex_unlock(&tty_mutex); return -ENODEV; } This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute. The problem is that the slave close already got an index. Then init_dev() is called and blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem. When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the relation between idr index and the tty is gone. The master then sleeps waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev(). Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index. As result, a NULL tty is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track: /* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */ if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) { tty = devpts_get_tty(idx); if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER) tty = tty->link; } else { tty = driver->ttys[idx]; } if (tty) goto fast_track; The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume. Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still has it. Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0, because there's no master and returns error. Then tty_open() calls release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0, slave->count == 1). The tty is then released with the already released idr index. This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a customer's critical application, it's never too simple: thread1: opens master, gets index X thread1: begin closing master thread2: begin opening slave with index X thread1: finishes closing master, index X released thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X <---- thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use and healthy tty and fails If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid. The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail imediately. The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev() won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex. Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings like this one: idr_remove called for id=15 which is not allocated.
