2009-03-16dm ioctl: validate name length when renamingMilan Broz
When renaming a mapped device validate the length of the new name. The rename ioctl accepted any correctly-terminated string enclosed within the data passed from userspace. The other ioctls enforce a size limit of DM_NAME_LEN. If the name is changed and becomes longer than that, the device can no longer be addressed by name. Fix it by properly checking for device name length (including terminating zero).

2009-03-16filp->f_pos not correctly updated in proc_task_readdirZhang Le
filp->f_pos only get updated at the end of the function. Thus d_off of those dirents who are in the middle will be 0, and this will cause a problem in glibc's readdir implementation, specifically endless loop. Because when overflow occurs, f_pos will be set to next dirent to read, however it will be 0, unless the next one is the last one. So it will start over again and again. There is a sample program in man 2 gendents. This is the output of the program running on a multithread program's task dir before this patch is applied: $ ./a.out /proc/3807/task --------------- nread=128 --------------- i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name 506442 directory 16 1 . 506441 directory 16 0 .. 506443 directory 16 0 3807 506444 directory 16 0 3809 506445 directory 16 0 3812 506446 directory 16 0 3861 506447 directory 16 0 3862 506448 directory 16 8 3863 This is the output after this patch is applied $ ./a.out /proc/3807/task --------------- nread=128 --------------- i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name 506442 directory 16 1 . 506441 directory 16 2 .. 506443 directory 16 3 3807 506444 directory 16 4 3809 506445 directory 16 5 3812 506446 directory 16 6 3861 506447 directory 16 7 3862 506448 directory 16 8 3863 Signed-off-by: Zhang Le <r0bertz@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-03-16thinkpad-acpi: fix module autoloading for older modelsMathieu Chouquet-Stringer
Looking at the source, there seems to be a missing * to match my DMI string. I mean for newer IBM and Lenovo's laptops you match either one of the following: MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:*:svnIBM:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnIBM:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnLENOVO:*:svnLENOVO:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnLENOVO:*"); While for older Thinkpads, you do this (for instance): IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0,3,6,8,A-G,I,K,M-P,S,T]"); with IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS being MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW") Note there's no * terminating the string. As result, udev doesn't load anything because modprobe cannot find anything matching this (my machine actually): udevtest: run: '/sbin/modprobe dmi:bvnIBM:bvr1IET71WW(2.10):bd06/16/2006:svnIBM:pn236621U:pvrNotAv Signed-off-by: Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer <mchouque@free.fr> Acked-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-03-14eCryptfs: don't encrypt file key with filename keyTyler Hicks
eCryptfs has file encryption keys (FEK), file encryption key encryption keys (FEKEK), and filename encryption keys (FNEK). The per-file FEK is encrypted with one or more FEKEKs and stored in the header of the encrypted file. I noticed that the FEK is also being encrypted by the FNEK. This is a problem if a user wants to use a different FNEK than their FEKEK, as their file contents will still be accessible with the FNEK. This is a minimalistic patch which prevents the FNEKs signatures from being copied to the inode signatures list. Ultimately, it keeps the FEK from being encrypted with a FNEK.

2009-03-14nommu: ramfs: don't leak pages when adding to page cache failsJohannes Weiner
When a ramfs nommu mapping is expanded, contiguous pages are allocated and added to the pagecache. The caller's reference is then passed on by moving whole pagevecs to the file lru list. If the page cache adding fails, make sure that the error path also moves the pagevec contents which might still contain up to PAGEVEC_SIZE successfully added pages, of which we would leak references otherwise.

2009-03-14nommu: ramfs: pages allocated to an inode's pagecache may get wrongly discardedEnrik Berkhan
The pages attached to a ramfs inode's pagecache by truncation from nothing - as done by SYSV SHM for example - may get discarded under memory pressure. The problem is that the pages are not marked dirty. Anything that creates data in an MMU-based ramfs will cause the pages holding that data will cause the set_page_dirty() aop to be called. For the NOMMU-based mmap, set_page_dirty() may be called by write(), but it won't be called by page-writing faults on writable mmaps, and it isn't called by ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() when a file is being truncated from nothing to allocate a contiguous run. The solution is to mark the pages dirty at the point of allocation by the truncation code.

2009-03-14ext4: fix bogus BUG_ONs in in mballoc codeEric Sandeen
Thiemo Nagel reported that: # dd if=/dev/zero of=image.ext4 bs=1M count=2 # mkfs.ext4 -v -F -b 1024 -m 0 -g 512 -G 4 -I 128 -N 1 \ -O large_file,dir_index,flex_bg,extent,sparse_super image.ext4 # mount -o loop image.ext4 mnt/ # dd if=/dev/zero of=mnt/file oopsed, with a BUG_ON in ext4_mb_normalize_request because size == EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP It appears to me (esp. after talking to Andreas) that the BUG_ON is bogus; a request of exactly EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP should be allowed, though larger sizes do indicate a problem. Fix that an another (apparently rare) codepath with a similar check.

2009-03-13mv643xx_eth: fix unicast address filter corruption on mtu changeLennert Buytenhek
When mv643xx_eth_open() is called to up an interface, port_start() will first re-program the unicast address filter, and then re-initialise the PORT_CONFIG register, but that will disable unicast promiscuous mode if it was enabled by the unicast address filter setup. This isn't a problem on ifconfig up, as ->set_rx_mode() will be called shortly afterwards which will program the filters again, but it does trigger when changing the MTU, which calls mv643xx_eth_stop() and then mv643xx_eth_open() by hand to repopulate the receive rings with skbuffs of the new size. Swap the initialisation of the PORT_START register and the call to the unicast filter setup function to fix this. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-13xfrm: Fix xfrm_state_find() wrt. wildcard source address.David S. Miller
The change to make xfrm_state objects hash on source address broke the case where such source addresses are wildcarded. Fix this by doing a two phase lookup, first with fully specified source address, next using saddr wildcarded. Reported-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@dev.6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-13ixgbe: fix multiple unicast address supportChris Leech
Multiple unicast address support appears to have been broken with the change to support net_device_ops. This a regression from 2.6.28 to 2.6.29. I'm not 100% on whether ndo_set_multicast_list can be NULL after this or not. If ndo_set_rx_mode is set everything _should_ be using it.

2009-03-13ide: save the returned value of dma_map_sgFUJITA Tomonori
dma_map_sg could return a value different to 'nents' argument of dma_map_sg so the ide stack needs to save it for the later usage (e.g. for_each_sg). The ide stack also needs to save the original sg_nents value for pci_unmap_sg.
