Simplify the UP (1 CPU) implementatin of set_cpus_allowed. The one CPU is hardcoded to be cpu 0 - so just test for that bit, and avoid having to pick up the cpu_online_map. Also, unexport cpu_online_map: it was only needed for set_cpus_allowed(). Signed-off-by:

I made a patch that detects if libintl.h (needed for nls) is present on the host system and if it's not, it nls support is disabled by providing dummies for the used nls functions. This way if there is nls support on the host system the *config targets will build according to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo's i18n modifications, else it just uses the original English messages. I have also made a bug report at kernel's bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5501 And there is a discussion about this problem in Gentoo's bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99810 Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by:

A couple of (char *) casts removed in a previous cleanup patch in lib/string.c:memmove() were actually useful, as they suppressed a couple of warnings: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type Fix by declaring the local variable const in the first place, so casts aren't needed to strip the const qualifier.

If a filesystem passes an idiotic blocksize into bread(), __getblk_slow() will warn and will return NULL. We have a report (from Hubert Tonneau <hubert.tonneau@fullpliant.org>) of isofs_fill_super() doing this (passing in a silly block size) against an unplugged CDROM drive. But a couple of __getblk_slow() callers forgot to check for the NULL bh, hence oops. Signed-off-by:

This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2). This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks, CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how to run the test and interpret the output is also included. This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of the PREEMPT_RT patchset. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a long-standing vgacon bug: characters with the bright bit set were left on the screen and not blacked out. All I did was that I lookuped up some examples on the net about setting the vga palette, and added the call missing from the linux kernel, but included in all other ones. It works for me. You can test this by writing something with the bright set to the console, for example: echo -e "\e[1;31mhello there\e[0m" and then wait for the console to blank itself (by default, after 10 mins of inactivity), maybe making it faster using setterm -blank 1 so you only have to wait 1 minute.

This patch adds tests for the return value of sb_getblk() in the ext2/3 filesystems. In fs/buffer.c it is stated that the getblk() function never fails. However, it does can return NULL in some situations due to I/O errors, which may lead us to NULL pointer dereferences Signed-off-by:

list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use); } else { list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_unused); + inodes_stat.nr_unused++; } } wake_up_inode(inode); Are you sure the above diff is correct? It was added somewhere between 2.6.5 and 2.6.8. I think it's wrong. The only way I can imagine the i_count to be zero in the above path, is that I_WILL_FREE is set. And if I_WILL_FREE is set, then we must not increase nr_unused. So I believe the above change is buggy and it will definitely overstate the number of unused inodes and it should be backed out. Note that __writeback_single_inode before calling __sync_single_inode, can drop the spinlock and we can have both the dirty and locked bitflags clear here: spin_unlock(&inode_lock); __wait_on_inode(inode); iput(inode); XXXXXXX spin_lock(&inode_lock); } use inode again here a construct like the above makes zero sense from a reference counting standpoint. Either we don't ever use the inode again after the iput, or the inode_lock should be taken _before_ executing the iput (i.e. a __iput would be required). Taking the inode_lock after iput means the iget was useless if we keep using the inode after the iput. So the only chance the 2.6 was safe to call __writeback_single_inode with the i_count == 0, is that I_WILL_FREE is set (I_WILL_FREE will prevent the VM to free the inode in XXXXX). Potentially calling the above iput with I_WILL_FREE was also wrong because it would recurse in iput_final (the second mainline bug). The below (untested) patch fixes the nr_unused accounting, avoids recursing in iput when I_WILL_FREE is set and makes sure (with the BUG_ON) that we don't corrupt memory and that all holders that don't set I_WILL_FREE, keeps a reference on the inode!

Back about a year ago when I last fiddled heavily with the do_wait code, I was thinking too hard about the wrong thing and I now think I introduced a bug whose inverse thought I was fixing. Apparently noone was looking too hard over much shoulder, so as to cite my bogus reasoning at the time. In the race condition when PTRACE_ATTACH is about to steal a child and then the child hits a tracing event (what my_ptrace_child checks for), the real parent does need to set its flag noting it has some eligible live children. Otherwise a spurious ECHILD error is possible, since the child in question is not yet on the ptrace_children list. Signed-off-by:

I noticed some problems while running ext3 with the debug flag set on. More precisely, I was unable to umount the filesystem. Some investigation took me to the patch that follows. At a first glance , the lock/unlock I've taken out seems really not necessary, as the main code (outside debug) does not lock the super. The only additional danger operations that debug code introduces seems to be related to bitmap, but bitmap operations tends to be all atomic anyway. I also took the opportunity to fix 2 spelling errors. Signed-off-by:

This patch deletes pointless code from coredump_wait(). 1. It does useless mm->core_waiters inc/dec under mm->mmap_sem, but any changes to ->core_waiters have no effect until we drop ->mmap_sem. 2. It calls yield() for absolutely unknown reason. Signed-off-by:

The attached patch adds LSM hooks for key management facilities. The notable changes are: (1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which programs may access a key. (2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key. (3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules; the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out. (4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather than a boolean value. (5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of attributes (UID, GID, permissions). Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation, but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based on the permission request bits. Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.
