      UBIFS: introduce a helpful variable · fb1cd01a
      Artem Bityutskiy authored 
      This patch introduces a helpful @c->idx_leb_size variable.
The patch also fixes some spelling issues and makes comments
use "LEB" instead of "eraseblock", which is more correct.

      UBIFS: fix lprops committing bug · 0a6fb8d9
      Artem Bityutskiy authored 
      When writing lprop nodes, do not forget to set @from to 0 when
switching the LEB. This fixes the following bug:

      UBIFS: fix bug where page is marked uptodate when out of space · f55aa591
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      UBIFS fast path in write_begin may mark a page up to date
and then discover that there may not be enough space to do
the write, and so fall back to a slow path.  The slow path
tries harder, but may still find no space - leaving the page
marked up to date, when it is not.  This patch ensures that
the page is marked not up to date in that case.

The bug that this patch fixes becomes evident when the write
is into a hole (sparse file) or is at the end of the file
and a subsequent read is off the end of the file.  In both
cases, the file system should return zeros but was instead
returning the page that had not been written because the
file system was out of space.

      CRED: Fix SUID exec regression · 0bf2f3ae
      David Howells authored 
      The patch:

	commit a6f76f23
	CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials

moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to
before de_thread() was called.  This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now
calculated incorrectly.  This flag is set if any of the usage counts for
fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the
determination is made.  All of which are true for threads created by the
pthread library.

However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably
damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where
we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the
determination before calling de_thread().

So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing
our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs
(CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us.  These will be killed by de_thread() and
so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec().

We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES.

We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the
threads we're going to kill.

This can be tested with the attached pair of programs.  Build the two programs
using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user.  If
successful, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1
	--TEST1--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	exec ./test2
	--TEST2--
	uid=4043, euid=0 suid=0
	SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID

and if unsuccessful, something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1
	--TEST1--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	exec ./test2
	--TEST2--
	uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043
	ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!

The non-root user ID you see will depend on the user you run as.

[test1.c]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>

static void *thread_func(void *arg)

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	pthread_t tid;
	uid_t uid, euid, suid;

	printf("--TEST1--\n");
	getresuid(&uid, &euid, &suid);
	printf("uid=%d, euid=%d suid=%d\n", uid, euid, suid);

	if (pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_func, NULL) < 0) {
		perror("pthread_create");
		exit(1);
	}

	printf("exec ./test2\n");
	execlp("./test2", "test2", NULL);
	perror("./test2");
	_exit(1);
}

[test2.c]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	uid_t uid, euid, suid;

	getresuid(&uid, &euid, &suid);
	printf("--TEST2--\n");
	printf("uid=%d, euid=%d suid=%d\n", uid, euid, suid);

	if (euid != 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	printf("SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID\n");
	exit(0);
}

      vfs: Don't call attach_nobh_buffers() with an empty list · d4cf109f
      Dave Kleikamp authored 
      This is a modification of a patch by Bill Pemberton <wfp5p@virginia.edu>

nobh_write_end() could call attach_nobh_buffers() with head == NULL.
This would result in a trap when attach_nobh_buffers() attempted to
access bh->b_this_page.

This can be illustrated by running the writev01 testcase from LTP on jfs.

This error was introduced by commit 5b41e74a "vfs: fix data leak in
nobh_write_end()".  That patch did not take into account that if
PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no
buffers will be allocated for the page.  In that case, we won't have to
worry about a failed write leaving unitialized data in the page.

Of course, head != NULL implies !page_has_buffers(page), so no need to
test both.
