2006-11-04Fix unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user accessLinus Torvalds
There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed. This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241 We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or has properly incremented the reference count of the old one. Race identified by Oleg Nesterov.

2006-11-04Revert unintentional "volatile" changes in ipc/msg.cLinus Torvalds
Commit 5a06a363ef48444186f18095ae1b932dddbbfa89 ("[PATCH] ipc/msg.c: clean up coding style") breaks fakeroot on Alpha (variously hangs or oopses), according to a report by Falk Hueffner. The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through the use of "volatile" is a pretty certain sign that the code has locking problems, and we should fix those properly and then remove the whole "volatile" entirely. But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and should be reverted.

2006-11-03[PATCH] Fix user.* xattr permission check for sticky dirsAndreas Gruenbacher
The user.* extended attributes are only allowed on regular files and directories. Sticky directories further restrict write access to the owner and privileged users. (See the attr(5) man page for an explanation.) The original check in ext2/ext3 when user.* xattrs were merged was more restrictive than intended, and when the xattr permission checks were moved into the VFS, read access to user.* attributes on sticky directores ended up being denied in addition.

2006-11-03[PATCH] Fix sys_move_pages when a NULL node list is passedStephen Rothwell
sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages() depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place, do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

2006-11-03[PATCH] uml: include tidyingJeff Dike
In order to get the __NR_* constants, we need sys/syscall.h. linux/unistd.h works as well since it includes syscall.h, however syscall.h is more parsimonious. We were inconsistent in this, and this patch adds syscall.h includes where necessary and removes linux/unistd.h includes where they are not needed. asm/unistd.h also includes the __NR_* constants, but these are not the glibc-sanctioned ones, so this also removes one such inclusion.

2006-11-03[PATCH] uml: fix I/O hangJeff Dike
Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened - a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would start up again as though nothing had happened. The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns. unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be delivered. The crucial part is this: signals_enabled = 1; save_pending = pending; if(save_pending == 0) return; pending = 0; In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased, signals are enabled. What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending' came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be immediately erased. When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input. The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably work. Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more things: - make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached in registers - add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

2006-11-03[PATCH] reiserfs: reset errval after initializing bitmap cacheJeff Mahoney
Callers after reiserfs_init_bitmap_cache() expect errval to contain -EINVAL until much later. If a condition fails before errval is reset later, reiserfs_fill_super() will mistakenly return 0, causing an Oops in do_add_mount(). This patch resets errval to -EINVAL after the call. I view this as a temporary fix and real error codes should be used throughout reiserfs_fill_super().

I ran into this too because of an old source tree, but my fix would look quite a bit different to Andi's fix. The reason is that the compat function IMHO should behave the very same as the non-compat function if possible. Since sys_pselect7 does not return -EFAULT in this specific case, change the compat code so it behaves like sys_pselect7.

2006-11-03USB: use MII hooks only if CONFIG_MII is enabledDavid Brownell
Fix mcs7830 patch The recent mcs7830 update to make the MII support sharable goofed various pre-existing configurations in two ways: - it made the usbnet infrastructure reference MII symbols even when they're not needed in the kernel being built - it didn't enable MII along with the mcs7830 minidriver This patch fixes these two problems. However, there does seem to be a Kconfig reverse dependency bug in that MII gets wrongly enabled in some cases (like USBNET=y and USBNET_MII=n); I think I've noticed that same problem in other situations too. So the result can mean kernels being bloated by stuff that's needlessly enabled ... better than wrongly being disabled, but contributing to bloat.

This patch add AIRcable USBto USB-HID blacklist, makes some little changes things in the Kconfig to make AIRcable USB look as all the rest of drivers.

2006-11-03hid-core: big-endian fix fixGrant Grundler
Adam Kropelin had posted 32-bit fix in June 2005 about two weeks after I originally had posted my fixes for big endian support. Adam has a UPS device which reports LINEV using 32-bits. Added comments to describe the limitations of the code. extract() is the same version I posted earlier and tested in user space. Made similar changes to implement() routine. I've written (and will shortly post) a test for implement(). Code tested on C3600 (parisc) with USB keyboard/mouse attached. I've dropped test_implement.c and a few other user space test programs on http://iou.parisc-linux.org/~grundler/tests/ -rw-r--r-- 1 grundler grundler 1750 Oct 18 09:13 test_extract.c -rw-r--r-- 1 grundler grundler 561 Jan 25 2006 test_ffs.c -rw-r--r-- 1 grundler users 7175 Apr 8 2005 test_fls.c -rw-r--r-- 1 grundler grundler 206 Sep 1 15:52 test_gettimeofday.c -rw-r--r-- 1 grundler grundler 1886 Oct 19 09:20 test_implement.c -rw-r--r-- 1 grundler users 2707 Jun 4 2005 test_unaligned.c I would appreciate if someone else would look at the output of test_implement.c to make it does The Right Thing.
