2007-05-08ext3: copy i_flags to inode flags on writeJan Kara
A patch that stores inode flags such as S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. from i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when inode is written to disk. The same thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl. Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly propagated into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and users were wondering...). Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc. from i_flags into ext3-specific i_flags. Hence, when someone sets these flags via a different interface than ioctl, they are stored correctly.

2007-05-08CPU time limit patch / setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, 0) cheat fixTom Alsberg
As discovered here today, the change in Kernel 2.6.17 intended to inhibit users from setting RLIMIT_CPU to 0 (as that is equivalent to unlimited) by "cheating" and setting it to 1 in such a case, does not make a difference, as the check is done in the wrong place (too late), and only applies to the profiling code. On all systems I checked running kernels above 2.6.17, no matter what the hard and soft CPU time limits were before, a user could escape them by issuing in the shell (sh/bash/zsh) "ulimit -t 0", and then the user's process was not ever killed. Attached is a trivial patch to fix that. Simply moving the check to a slightly earlier location (specifically, before the line that actually assigns the limit - *old_rlim = new_rlim), does the trick. Do note that at least the zsh (but not ash, dash, or bash) shell has the problem of "caching" the limits set by the ulimit command, so when running zsh the fix will not immediately be evident - after entering "ulimit -t 0", "ulimit -a" will show "-t: cpu time (seconds) 0", even though the actual limit as returned by getrlimit(...) will be 1. It can be verified by opening a subshell (which will not have the values of the parent shell in cache) and checking in it, or just by running a CPU intensive command like "echo '65536^1048576' | bc" and verifying that it dumps core after one second. Regardless of whether that is a misfeature in the shell, perhaps it would be better to return -EINVAL from setrlimit in such a case instead of cheating and setting to 1, as that does not really reflect the actual state of the process anymore. I do not however know what the ground for that decision was in the original 2.6.17 change, and whether there would be any "backward" compatibility issues, so I preferred not to touch that right now.

2007-05-08serial_txx9: Use assigned device numbersAtsushi Nemoto
The serial_txx9 driver have abused device numbers (major 4, minor 128) if CONFIG_SERIAL_TXX9_STDSERIAL was not set. This patch makes the driver use proper device numbers assigned for it (major 204, minor 196-203). I suppose a typical user of this driver set CONFIG_SERIAL_TXX9_STDSERIAL to Y (i.e. use "ttyS0"), so this patch would not cause big compatibility issue.

2007-05-08highres/dyntick: prevent xtime lock contentionThomas Gleixner
While the !highres/!dyntick code assigns the duty of the do_timer() call to one specific CPU, this was dropped in the highres/dyntick part during development. Steven Rostedt discovered the xtime lock contention on highres/dyntick due to several CPUs trying to update jiffies. Add the single CPU assignement back. In the dyntick case this needs to be handled carefully, as the CPU which has the do_timer() duty must drop the assignement and let it be grabbed by another CPU, which is active. Otherwise the do_timer() calls would not happen during the long sleep.

This includes clearing the SGID bit on attribute changes caused by chmod. If you make this change the results of some rulesets may be different before or after the change is made.

2007-05-08fix hotplug for legacy platform driversDavid Brownell
We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support. The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure code: creating device nodes. The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those roles into different modules. The lack of this split causes the problems. When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS" step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ... badness. This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add" events. (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to one bit, saving a word in "struct device". So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform drivers.

In a different approach here's a patch that handles the special case of composite arithmetic expressions in array size initializers. With it, prior to pushing the split strings on the @first_arg array, I split the keywords before the array name as before and then keep the array name along with the subscript expression as a single whole element which gets pushed last. In this manner, kernel-doc produces correct output without removing whitespaces which makes the array subscripts unreadable in the docs.

We shall see... Define the deprecated flags as a call to a __deprecated inline function so a warning is emitted on compile time. Extend the reprieve of out of tree drivers to 9/2007.
