      [PATCH] struct file leakage · de459215
      Kirill Korotaev authored 
      2.6.16 leaks like hell. While testing, I found massive leakage
(reproduced in openvz) in:

*filp
*size-4096

And 1 object leaks in
*size-32
*size-64
*size-128

It is the fix for the first one.  filp leaks in the bowels of namei.c.

Seems, size-4096 is file table leaking in expand_fdtables.

I have no idea what are the rest and why they show only accompanying
another leaks.  Some debugging structs?

      Relax /proc fix a bit · 9ee8ab9f
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Clearign all of i_mode was a bit draconian. We only really care about
S_ISUID/ISGID, after all.

      Fix nasty /proc vulnerability · 18b0bbd8
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      We have a bad interaction with both the kernel and user space being able
to change some of the /proc file status.  This fixes the most obvious
part of it, but I expect we'll also make it harder for users to modify
even their "own" files in /proc.
