This patch should fix or partly fix this bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8276 The problem is: - if we see "zero link case" during reading inode operation, we call ufs_error(which remount fs readonly), but not "mark" inode as bad (1) - in readonly case we do not fill some data structures, which are used in read and write case (2) - VFS call ufs_delete_inode if link count is zero (3) so (1)->(3)->(2) cause oops, this patch should fix such scenario Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@mail.ru> Cc: Jim Paris <jim@jtan.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It turns out that the last patch to change set_cs to be kept in the controller's structure instead of the platform data was an incomplete change, and did not change the references to platfrom data in the setup xfer code.

arch/alpha/kernel/sys_sx164.c Earlier firmware revisions need MVI fix as well. arch/alpha/kernel/sys_nautilus.c On UP1500 firmware reports wrong AGP IRQ (10 instead of 5).

The patch checks for "|" in the pattern not the output and doesn't nail a pid on to a piped name (as it is a program name not a file) Also fixes a very very obscure security corner case. If you happen to have decided on a core pattern that starts with the program name then the user can run a program called "|myevilhack" as it stands. I doubt anyone does this.

If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared. Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the value of test_set_page_writeback(). The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

3w-xxxx emulates a REQUEST_SENSE response by simply returning nothing. Unfortunately, it's assuming that the REQUEST_SENSE command is implemented with use_sg == 0, which is no longer the case. The oops occurs because it's clearing the scatterlist in request_buffer instead of the memory region. This is fixed by using tw_transfer_internal() to transfer correctly to the scatterlist.

DVB USB remotes do not support changing keycode maps but set input_dev->keycodesize and input_dev->keycodemax without setting input_dev->keycode. This causes kernel oops when user tries to look up (or change) current keymap. While the proper fix would be to make remotes handle keymap changes we'll just remove keycodemax and keycodesize initialization so EVIOCGKEYCODE and EVIOCSKEYCODE will simply return -EINVAL. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8312 Signed-off-by: olaf.kirch@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There are two device string comparison loops in arp_packet_match(). The first one goes byte-by-byte but the second one tries to be clever and cast the string to a long and compare by longs. The device name strings in the arp table entries are not guarenteed to be aligned enough to make this value, so just use byte-by-byte for both cases. Based upon a report by <drraid@gmail.com>.

When a VLAN interface is created on top of a bridge interface and netfilter is enabled to see the bridged packets, the packets can be corrupted when passing through the netfilter code. This is caused by the VLAN driver not setting the 'protocol' and 'nh' members of the sk_buff structure. In general, this is no problem as the VLAN interface is mostly connected to a physical ethernet interface which does not use the 'protocol' and 'nh' members. For a bridge interface, however, these members do matter. Signed-off-by: Jerome Borsboom <j.borsboom@erasmusmc.nl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit f50b6f86 introduced a race in autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release(). autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list. The list is protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info with a NULL dentry. This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal from the rehash list.

This patch fixes a bug in function decrementing a key of stat data item. Offset of reiserfs keys are compared as signed values. To set key offset to maximal possible value maximal signed value has to be used.
