When building the kernel without passing the O= command line parameter there's no point to use absolute paths for them. Usually relative paths are preferred because they survive directory moves, work across networked file systems and chrooted environments. Absolute paths are still used if an output directory is given.

This patch is only to tell lockdep that ifb is a different device (e.g. from eth) and has its own pair of queue locks. (This warning is a false-positive in common scenario of using ifb; yet there are possible situations, when this order could be dangerous; lockdep should warn in such a case.)

When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt. This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down. The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7): - Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...> - New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes below the last end: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...> The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window: 3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832 65832 / 2^7 = 514 65832 % 2^7 = 40 If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq() will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number. This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack. If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of ACKs until the connection times out. Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to the window scaling factor. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> This patch is based on the one from Thomas. The kauditd_thread() calls the netlink_unicast() and passes the audit_pid to it. The audit_pid, in turn, is received from the user space and the tool (I've checked the audit v1.6.9) uses getpid() to pass one in the kernel. Besides, this tool doesn't bind the netlink socket to this id, but simply creates it allowing the kernel to auto-bind one. That's the preamble. The problem is that netlink_autobind() _does_not_ guarantees that the socket will be auto-bound to the current pid. Instead it uses the current pid as a hint to start looking for a free id. So, in case of conflict, the audit messages can be sent to a wrong socket. This can happen (it's unlikely, but can be) in case some task opens more than one netlink sockets and then the audit one starts - in this case the audit's pid can be busy and its socket will be bound to another id. The proposal is to introduce an audit_nlk_pid in audit subsys, that will point to the netlink socket to send packets to. It will most often be equal to audit_pid. The socket id can be got from the skb's netlink CB right in the audit_receive_msg. The audit_nlk_pid reset to 0 is not required, since all the decisions are taken based on audit_pid value only. Later, if the audit tools will bind the socket themselves, the kernel will have to provide a way to setup the audit_nlk_pid as well. A good side effect of this patch is that audit_pid can later be converted to struct pid, as it is not longer safe to use pid_t-s in the presence of pid namespaces. But audit code still uses the tgid from task_struct in the audit_signal_info and in the audit_filter_syscall.

commit e9720acd ([NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)) broke ganglia and probably other applications that read /proc/net/dev. This is due to the change of permissions of /proc/net that was introduced in that commit. Before: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:30 /proc/net After: dr-xr--r-- 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:29 /proc/self/net This patch restores the permissions to the old value which makes ganglia happy again. Pavel Emelyanov says: This also broke the postfix, as it was reported in bug #10286 and described in detail by Benjamin.

There is a race is SCTP between the loading of the module and the access by the socket layer to the protocol functions. In particular, a list of addresss that SCTP maintains is not initialized prior to the registration with the protosw. Thus it is possible for a user application to gain access to SCTP functions before everything has been initialized. The problem shows up as odd crashes during connection initializtion when we try to access the SCTP address list. The solution is to refactor how we do registration and initialize the lists prior to registering with the protosw. Care must be taken since the address list initialization depends on some other pieces of SCTP initialization. Also the clean-up in case of failure now also needs to be refactored.

If a rule using ipt_recent is created with a hit count greater than ip_pkt_list_tot, the rule will never match as it cannot keep track of enough timestamps. This patch makes ipt_recent refuse to create such rules. With ip_pkt_list_tot's default value of 20, the following can be used to reproduce the problem. nc -u -l 0.0.0.0 1234 & for i in `seq 1 100`; do echo $i | nc -w 1 -u 127.0.0.1 1234; done This limits it to 20 packets: iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \ --rsource iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \ 60 --hitcount 20 --name test --rsource -j DROP While this is unlimited: iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --set --name test \ --rsource iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 1234 -m recent --update --seconds \ 60 --hitcount 21 --name test --rsource -j DROP With the patch the second rule-set will throw an EINVAL.

The original justification for cap_task_kill() was as follows: check_kill_permission() does appropriate uid equivalence checks. However with file capabilities it becomes possible for an unprivileged user to execute a file with file capabilities resulting in a more privileged task with the same uid. However now that cap_task_kill() always returns 0 (permission granted) when p->uid==current->uid, the whole hook is worthless, and only likely to create more subtle problems in the corner cases where it might still be called but return -EPERM. Those cases are basically when uids are different but euid/suid is equivalent as per the check in check_kill_permission(). One example of a still-broken application is 'at' for non-root users. This patch removes cap_task_kill(). Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Acked-by: Andrew G. Morgan <morgan@kernel.org> Earlier-version-tested-by: Luiz Fernando N.

a0c1e907 "futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality" introduces a test wether futex in atomic stuff works or not. It does that by writing to address 0 of the kernel address space. This will crash on older machines where addressing mode switching is enabled but where the mvcos instruction is not available. Page table walking is done by hand and therefore the code tries to access current->mm which is NULL. Therefore add an extra check, so we survive the early test.
