2006-04-13[PATCH] do_SAK: Don't recursively take the tasklist_lockEric W. Biederman
By calling send_sig do_SAK is recursively taking the tasklist_lock, which is silly. In addition I just audited the kernel and this was the only place where tasklist_lock is taken inside of task_lock. So this one line change is a general worthwhile cleanup and it increases our options on how to fix the ptrace_attach races. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-04-11[PATCH] ipmi: fix event queue limitCorey Minyard
The event handler mechanism in the IPMI driver had a limit on the number of received events, but the counts were not being updated. Update the counts to impose a limit. This is not a critical fix, as this function (the sending of the events) has to be turned on by the user, anyway. This avoids problems if they forget to turn it back off.

2006-04-11[PATCH] MPBL0010 driver sysfs permissions wide openMark Bellon
The MPBL0010 Telco clock driver (drivers/char/tlclk.c) uses 0222 (anyone can write) permissions on its writable sysfs entries. Alter the permissions to 0220 (owner and group can write). The use case for this driver is to configure the fail over behavior of the clock hardware. That should be done by the more privileged users.

2006-04-11[PATCH] ptmx: fix duplicate idr_removePaul Fulghum
Remove duplicate call to idr_remove() in ptmx_open. Error during open can result in call to release_dev() followed by call to idr_remove(). release_dev already calls idr_remove so the second call can cause a stack dump in idr_remove()->sub_remove() flagging an attempt to release an already released entry. I reproduces this on a machine with a misconfigured X server (attempting to restart multiple times rapidly) getting the same error as the 1st link below. This also seems to be related to: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=110536513426735&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=110596994916785&w=2 The stack dump can occur on close (as well as open) as shown in the 1st instance above, possible from something like: process A - open (index=0), open fail to out1, release_dev calls idr_remove (index 0), down(sem) sleeps process B - open (index=0), open OK (idr allocated) process A - wake and call idr_remove on index 0 ... process B - close, release_dev, stack dump on idr_remove (index=0) because entry already removed Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We changed the wrong symbol. It's tty_insert_flip_string_flags() which is called from the previously-non-GPL'ed now-inlined tty_insert_flip_char().

Instead of the two status values struct pcmcia_device->p_state and state, use descriptive bitfields.
