2006-12-07[PATCH] skip data conversion in compat_sys_mount when data_page is NULLAndrey Mirkin
OpenVZ Linux kernel team has found a problem with mounting in compat mode. Simple command "mount -t smbfs ..." on Fedora Core 5 distro in 32-bit mode leads to oops: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: compat_sys_mount+0xd6/0x290 Process mount (pid: 14656, veid=300, threadinfo ffff810034d30000, task ffff810034c86bc0) Call Trace: ia32_sysret+0x0/0xa The problem is that data_page pointer can be NULL, so we should skip data conversion in this case.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] coredump: Add SPU elf notes to coredump.Dwayne Grant McConnell
This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1, /signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status, /mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id. A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to specify they have extra elf core notes. A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry. A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes would be written after the existing notes. The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via register_arch_coredump_calls(). A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the SPU context for each file read from.

2006-12-01ocfs2: Remove struct ocfs2_journal_handle in favor of handle_tMark Fasheh
This is mostly a search and replace as ocfs2_journal_handle is now no more than a container for a handle_t pointer. ocfs2_commit_trans() becomes very straight forward, and we remove some out of date comments / code. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
2006-12-01ocfs2: remove handle argument to ocfs2_start_trans()Mark Fasheh

2006-12-01ocfs2: don't use handle for locking in allocation functionsMark Fasheh
Instead we record our state on the allocation context structure which all callers already know about and lifetime correctly.

2006-12-01driver core: Introduce device_move(): move a device to a new parent.Cornelia Huck
Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir(). kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.

2006-12-01sysfs: sysfs_write_file() writes zero terminated dataThomas Maier
since most of the files in sysfs are text files, it would be nice, if the "store" function called during sysfs_write_file() gets a zero terminated string / data. The current implementation seems not to ensure this. (But only if it is the first time the zeroed buffer page is allocated.) So the buffer can be scanned by sscanf() easily, for example. This patch simply sets a \0 char behind the data in buffer->page. Signed-off-by: Thomas Maier <balagi@justmail.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-12-01[PATCH] block: kill length alignment test in bio_map_user()Mike Christie
The target mode support is mapping in bios using bio_map_user. The current targets do not need their len to be aligned with a queue limit so this check is causing some problems. Note: pointers passed into the kernel are properly aligned by usersapace tgt code so the uaddr check in bio_map_user is ok. The major user, blk_bio_map_user checks for the len before mapping so it is not affected by this patch. And the semi-newly added user blk_rq_map_user_iov has been failing out when the len is not aligned properly so maybe people have been good and not sending misaligned lens or that path is not used very often and this change will not be very dangerous. st and sg do not check the length and we have not seen any problem reports from those wider used paths so this patch should be fairly safe - for mm and wider testing at least.
