patch 0f2cbd38 in mainline. The sysfs interface to DMI data takes care to not make the system serial number and UUID world-readable, presumably due to privacy concerns. For consistency, we should not let the eeprom driver export these same strings to the world on Sony Vaio laptops. Instead, only make them readable by root, as we already do for BIOS passwords.

patch 8b925a3d in mainline. Recent (i.e. 2005 and later) Sony Vaio laptops have names beginning with VGN rather than PCG. Update the eeprom driver so that it recognizes these. Why this matters: the eeprom driver hides private data from the EEPROMs it recognizes as Vaio EEPROMs (passwords, serial number...) so if the driver fails to recognize a Vaio EEPROM as such, the private data is exposed to the world.

patch be8a1f7c in mainline. Turns out we don't actually check the status to see if there was a device out there to talk to, just if we had a timeout when doing so. Add the proper check, so we don't falsly think there are devices on the bus that are not there, etc. Signed-off-by:

patch a3474224 in mainline The original meaning of the old test (p->state > TASK_STOPPED) was "not dead", since it was before TASK_TRACED existed and before the state/exit_state split. It was a wrong correction in commit 14bf01bb to make this test for TASK_TRACED instead. It should have been changed when TASK_TRACED was introducted and again when exit_state was introduced.

patch 96a2d41a in mainline. NULL ptr can be returned from tcp_write_queue_head to cached_skb and then assigned to skb if packets_out was zero. Without this, system is vulnerable to a carefully crafted ACKs which obviously is remotely triggerable. Besides, there's very little that needs to be done in sacktag if there weren't any packets outstanding, just skipping the rest doesn't hurt. Signed-off-by:

patch 61e930a9 in mainline This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit 44dd151d We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup(). Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date. Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case. Signed-off-by:

patch f44ec6f3 upstream. This attempts to address CVE-2006-6058 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6058 first reported at http://projects.info-pull.com/mokb/MOKB-17-11-2006.html Essentially a corrupted minix dir inode reporting a very large i_size will loop for a very long time in minix_readdir, minix_find_entry, etc, because on EIO they just move on to try the next page. This is under the BKL, printk-storming as well. This can lock up the machine for a very long time. Simply ratelimiting the printks gets things back under control. Make the message a bit more informative while we're here. Signed-off-by:

Differs from mainline, but the functionality is already there. P5W-DH Deluxe has ICH7R which doesn't have PMP support but SIMG 4726 hardwired to the second port of AHCI controller at PCI device 1f.2. The 4726 doesn't work as PMP but as a storage processor which can do hardware RAID on downstream ports. When no device is attached to the downstream port of the 4726, pseudo ATA device for configuration appears. Unfortunately, ATA emulation on the device is very lousy and causes long hang during boot. This patch implements workaround for the board. If the mainboard is P5W-DH Deluxe (matched using DMI), only hardreset is used on the second port of AHCI controller @ 1f.2 and the hardreset doesn't depend on receiving the first FIS and just proceed to IDENTIFY. This workaround fixes bugzilla #8923. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8923Signed-off-by:

These are originally link flags (ATA_LFLAG_*) but link abstraction doesn't exist on 2.6.23, so make it port flags. This is for the following workaround for ASUS P5W DH Deluxe.

Mostly these are in very infrequently called routines, so the additional performance penalty is minimal. Signed-off-by:

patch 32fe0198 in mainline. This patch (as999) fixes a problem that sometimes shows up when host controller driver modules are loaded in the wrong order. If ehci-hcd happens to initialize an EHCI controller while the companion OHCI or UHCI controller is in the middle of a port reset, the reset can fail and the companion may get very confused. The patch adds an rw-semaphore and uses it to keep EHCI initialization and port resets mutually exclusive. Signed-off-by:

patch 5395353e in mainline. Fix a longstanding race in the Ethernet gadget driver, which can cause an oops on device disconnect. The fix is just to make the TX path check whether its freelist is empty. That check is otherwise not necessary, since the queue is always stopped when that list empties (and restarted when request completion puts an entry back on that freelist). The race window starts when the network code decides to transmit a packet, and ends when hard_start_xmit() grabs the freelist lock. When disconnect() is called inside that window, it shuts down the TX queue and breaks the otherwise-solid assumption that packets are never sent through a TX queue that's stopped. Signed-off-by:

patch a691efa9 in mainline. This patch (as995) cleans up the remains of the former NO_AUTOSUSPEND quirk. Since autosuspend is disabled by default, we will let userspace worry about which devices can safely be suspended. Thus the lengthy series of quirk entries is no longer needed, and neither is the quirk ID. I suppose someone might eventually run across a hub that can't be suspended; let's ignore the possibility for now. The patch also cleans up the hasty way in which autosuspend gets disabled. Setting udev->autosuspend_delay to -1 wasn't quite right, because the value is always supposed to be a multiple of HZ. It's better to leave the delay value alone and set autosuspend_disabled, which is what the quirk routine used to do. Signed-off-by:

raid5: fix clearing of biofill operations This is the correct merge of the two upstream patches for this issue (it was mis-merged...) ops_complete_biofill() runs outside of spin_lock(&sh->lock) and clears the 'pending' and 'ack' bits. Since the test_and_ack_op() macro only checks against 'complete' it can get an inconsistent snapshot of pending work. Move the clearing of these bits to handle_stripe5(), under the lock.

patch ae9da83f in mainline. This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper. thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the device. Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter. struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache and be reused later. Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead. unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev() by checking the device is frozen or not. Easy reproducer is: #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ]; do dmsetup --notable create a dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a dmsetup remove a done It's not easy to see the effect of corrupted semaphore. So I have tested with putting printk below in bdev_alloc_inode(): if (atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count) != 1) printk(KERN_DEBUG "Incorrect semaphore count = %d (%p)\n", atomic_read(&ei->bdev.bd_mount_sem.count), &ei->bdev); Without the patch, I saw something like: Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0) With the patch, the message didn't appear. The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix: commit d9dde59b Date: Fri Feb 24 13:04:24 2006 -0800 [PATCH] dm: missing bdput/thaw_bdev at removal Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem. and backported to 2.6.15.5. It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is removed. The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without noflush. Signed-off-by:
