      [PATCH] ext2: fix directory handling bug · b84ba662
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Dave Miller.  Fixes a very long-standing bug.
      
      If a process has an fd open against a now-removed directory, lookups on that
      fd will end up calling ext2_find_entry() against a zero-length directory.
      
      When this happens ext2_find_entry() will, on the first pass through the loop,
      set `kaddr' to page_address(page) - 20.  Things get confused and the "zero
      length directory entry" warning triggers.
      
      This only happens on 64-bit machines, because ext2_last_byte() is returning
      an unsigned (32-bit) value, and the arithmetic works out OK for 32-bit
      machines.
      
      So we change ext2_find_entry() to bale out immediately if the directory is
      zero-length.  All other directory-walking functions do this, but
      ext2_find_entry() forgot to, due to the search-from-the-last-place
      optimisation.

      [PATCH] ext3: error handling robustness · 5c31c779
      Andrew Morton authored
      Fix a couple of ext3 error handling routines to not assume that the
      superblock has valid journal and buffer_head pointers.  These functions are
      called during mount and unmount and that may not be true.
      
      This should fix the oops which Zwane saw when mounting a corrupt filesystem.

      [PATCH] Force cache alignment of task_structs · 39cb2588
      Andrew Morton authored
      I enabled the advanced use-after-free detector for large slab objects and the
      kernel oopsed.  This is because that debug code adds things at the head of
      the slab objects, and the kernel will die if task_structs are not
      well-aligned.
      
      The way to tell the slab allocator that it is not allowed to misalign objects
      from this slab is SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN.

      [PATCH] NCPFS memleak fix · 0c68742b
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>
      Reported by Oleg Drokin.
      
          In NCP_IOC_SETOBJECTNAME handler, we allocated space (newname pointer),
          copy stuff from userspace to there and then assign userspace
          pointer to our internal structure, whoops!

      [PATCH] fix console ordering default · b85b717c
      Andrew Morton authored
      The conversion of the console registration to an initcall-style thing has
      broken lots of people's setups.  It is now dependent upon linkage order and
      if you have both CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE and CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE, no boot
      messages come out on the screen because the kernel is selecting the serial
      console first.
      
      It can be fixed by specifying console=tty0, but nobody is doing that.
      
      We can fix it up by placing drivers/char/ in front of drivers/serial/ in
      linkage order.
