When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too. Changelog: [Mar 23] Actually delete old CAP_FS_SET definition... [Mar 20] Updated against J. Bruce Fields's patch Reported-by: Igor Zhbanov <izh1979@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to mount root filesystems etc. However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken. We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code, where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running. That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit 5d38258e "ACPI battery: fix async boot oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all async work to be completed. It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple fix to wait is the right one. This fixes at least http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063 but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug report (no bugzilla entry). We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix. Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.

MN10300 arch headers and place them instead in the same directories as contain the .c files for the processor and unit implementations. This permits the symlinks include/asm/proc and include/asm/unit to be dispensed with. This does, however, require that #include <asm/proc/xxx.h> be converted to #include <proc/xxx.h> and similarly for asm/unit -> unit. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
