The combination of S_ISGID bit set and S_IXGRP bit unset is used to mark the
inode as "mandatory lockable" and there's a macro for this check called
MANDATORY_LOCK(inode). However, fs/locks.c and some filesystems still perform
the explicit i_mode checking. Besides, Andrew pointed out, that this macro is
buggy itself, as it dereferences the inode arg twice.
Convert this macro into static inline function and switch its users to it,
making the code shorter and more readable.
The __mandatory_lock() helper is to be used in places where the IS_MANDLOCK()
for superblock is already known to be true.

The mandatory file locking implementation has long-standing races that
probably render it useless. I know of no plans to fix them. Till we
do, we should at least warn people.

Shouldn't this mandatory-locking documentation be in the
Documentation/filesystems directory?
Give it a more descriptive name while we're at it, and update 00-INDEX
with a more inclusive description of Documentation/filesystems (which
has already talked about more than just individual filesystems).

This code is run under lock_kernel(), which is dropped during
sleeping operations, so the following race is possible:
CPU1: CPU2:
vfs_setlease(); vfs_setlease();
lock_kernel();
lock_kernel(); /* spin */
generic_setlease():
...
for (before = ...)
/* here we found some lease after
* which we will insert the new one
*/
fl = locks_alloc_lock();
/* go to sleep in this allocation and
* drop the BKL
*/
generic_setlease():
...
for (before = ...)
/* here we find the "before" pointing
* at the one we found on CPU1
*/
->fl_change(my_before, arg);
lease_modify();
locks_free_lock();
/* and we freed it */
...
unlock_kernel();
locks_insert_lock(before, fl);
/* OOPS! We have just tried to add the lease
* at the tail of already removed one
*/
The similar races are already handled in other code - all the
allocations are performed before any checks/updates.
Thanks to Kamalesh Babulal for testing and for a bug report on an

When the flock_lock_file() is called to change the flock
from F_RDLCK to F_WRLCK or vice versa the existing flock
can be removed without appropriate warning.
Look:
for_each_lock(inode, before) {
struct file_lock *fl = *before;
if (IS_POSIX(fl))
break;
if (IS_LEASE(fl))
continue;
if (filp != fl->fl_file)
continue;
if (request->fl_type == fl->fl_type)
goto out;
found = 1;
locks_delete_lock(before); <<<<<< !
break;
}
if after this point the subsequent locks_alloc_lock() will
fail the return code will be -ENOMEM, but the existing lock
is already removed.
This is a known feature that such "re-locking" is not atomic,
but in the racy case the file should stay locked (although by
some other process), but in this case the file will be unlocked.
The proposal is to prepare the lock in advance keeping no chance
to fail in the future code.
Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware.
(Note: Thanks to Reuben Farrelly for finding a bug in an earlier version
of this patch.)

There's no need for another variable local to this loop; we can use the
variable (of the same name!) already declared at the top of the function,
and not used till later (at which point it's initialized, so this is safe).

The first argument to posix_locks_conflict() is meant to be a lock request,
and the second a lock from an inode's lock request. It doesn't really
make a difference which order you call them in, since the only
asymmetric test in posix_lock_conflict() is the check whether the second
argument is a posix lock--and every caller already does that check for
some reason.
But may as well fix posix_test_lock() to call posix_locks_conflict()
with the arguments in the same order as everywhere else.

This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO
pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all.
This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which
started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were
working anyway for most people got forgotten.
[Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch
only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.]

When building a custom keymap, after setting GENERATE_KEYMAP := 1 in
drivers/char/Makefile, the kernel build fails like this:
CC drivers/char/vt.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/char/%.map', needed by `drivers/char/defkeymap.c'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
This was caused by commit af8b128719f5248e542036ea994610a29d0642a6, which
deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern. The following
patch puts the colon back:

When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the
redirect instead of dropping it. The problem is in this code in
ndisc_redirect_rcv():
if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
on_link = 1;
} else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
"ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not
link-local.\n");
return;
}
This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.
The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target
field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux
passes all 245 tests now.

When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.
In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As
it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to
move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.
Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
frequency. New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to

Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
be enabled for this processor/system.
Same for Longhaul ver. 2 support. It will be disabled if none of above
options will work.

It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.
So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.
Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
EINTR.
This can help with X startup issues:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
installed). Keithp has a patch for that.
Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.

The PCI device table in the powermac IDE driver isn't properly
terminated. Depending on how your kernel is linked and other random
factors, you can end up with this driver matched against any other PCI
device in your system, possibly crashing at boot.
Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there
for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the
switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences
in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

The 8169/8110SC currently announces itself as:
[...]
eth0: RTL8169sc/8110sc at 0x........, ..:..:..:..:..:.., XID 18000000 IRQ ..
^^^^^^^^
It uses RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_05 and this part of the changeset can cut
its performance by a factor of 2~2.5 as reported by Timo.
(the driver includes code just before the hunk to write the ChipCmd
register when mac_version == RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_0[1-4])

It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).
prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.
Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
__builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.
