2005-09-29Revert task flag re-ordering, add commentsLinus Torvalds
Roland points out that the flags end up having non-obvious dependencies elsewhere, so revert aa55a08687059aa169d10a313c41f238c2070488 and add some comments about why things are as they are. We'll just have to fix up the broken comparisons. Roland has a patch. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-29[PATCH] fix TASK_STOPPED vs TASK_NONINTERACTIVE interactionOleg Nesterov
do_signal_stop: for_each_thread(t) { if (t->state < TASK_STOPPED) ++sig->group_stop_count; } However, TASK_NONINTERACTIVE > TASK_STOPPED, so this loop will not count TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE threads. See also wait_task_stopped(), which checks ->state > TASK_STOPPED. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> [ We really probably should always use the appropriate bitmasks to test task states, not do it like this. Using something like #define TASK_RUNNABLE (TASK_RUNNING | TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | \ TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE) and then doing "if (task->state & TASK_RUNNABLE)" or similar. But the ordering of the task states is historical, and keeping the ordering does make sense regardless. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-09-28[PATCH] Keys: Add possessor permissions to keys [try #3]David Howells
The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key targets using the LSM facilities. This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *) that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer. The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as it's not an intrinsic property of a key. Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever possession information needs to be passed through. This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on return from kmem_cache_alloc(). The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all reference variables should now end in "_ref".

2005-09-26[NETFILTER]: Fix invalid module autoloading by splitting iptable_natHarald Welte
When you've enabled conntrack and NAT as a module (standard case in all distributions), and you've also enabled the new conntrack netlink interface, loading ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will auto-load iptable_nat.ko. This causes a huge performance penalty, since for every packet you iterate the nat code, even if you don't want it. This patch splits iptable_nat.ko into the NAT core (ip_nat.ko) and the iptables frontend (iptable_nat.ko). Threfore, ip_conntrack_netlink.ko will only pull ip_nat.ko, but not the frontend. ip_nat.ko will "only" allocate some resources, but not affect runtime performance. This separation is also a nice step in anticipation of new packet filters (nf-hipac, ipset, pkttables) being able to use the NAT core.

2005-09-22[NETFILTER] Fix conntrack event cache deadlock/oopsHarald Welte
This patch fixes a number of bugs. It cannot be reasonably split up in multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same function: Bug #1: The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held. Therefore, the call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be moved outside of the locked section. This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX oops and deadlock reports. Bug #2: We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without holding a lock. Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race with another CPU. Bug #3: ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh (and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be performed. Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb parameter bein non-null. We now re-introduce a non-accounting "ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

2005-09-13[PATCH] v4l: experimental Sliced VBI API supportMauro Carvalho Chehab
Adds all defines, ioctls and structs needed for the sliced VBI API VBI = Vertical Blank Interval. It is related with the way TV signals work. It sends a line, then, it has a retrace time to allow the tube to move electrons to the beginning of the next line. This was the main reason at the beginning of analog B&W TV. There is a lot of bandwidth lost on VBI. So, lots of TV systems use it to send other information such as Closed Captions and Teletext. Also, broadcasters uses this as a channel to exchange information from the content producer to their subsidiaries at each city. There's already a raw VBI interface on V4L2 api, used for Closed Captions and Teletext. The decoding is doing at userlevel space and it is mostly for analog TV signals, non encoded. Encoded signals (MPEG, for example), may need also to transmit other information (like, for example, display aspect, i.e. 4x3, widescreen...). Sliced VBI interface is a method to allow the video stream to transmit this kind of information.
