      agp: info leak in agpioc_info_wrap() · 3ca9e5d3
      Dan Carpenter authored
      On 64 bit systems the agp_info struct has a 4 byte hole between
      ->agp_mode and ->aper_base.  We need to clear it to avoid disclosing
      stack information to userspace.

      fs/affs/super.c: bugfix / double free · d353efd0
      Fabian Frederick authored
      Commit 842a859d ("affs: use ->kill_sb() to simplify ->put_super()
      and failure exits of ->mount()") adds .kill_sb which frees sbi but
      doesn't remove sbi free in case of parse_options error causing double
      free+random crash.

      fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bit · 1e2ee49f
      Will Woods authored
      On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
      the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc).  Userspace
      therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
      no-op.  Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
      
      But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
      all that.  And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
      because it's defined to 0.  So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
      large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.
      
      This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
      systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

      Sysfs has a release mechanism.  Use that to release the kmem_cache

      Only slub is changed - slab currently only supports /proc/slabinfo and
      not /sys/kernel/slab/*.  We talked about adding that and someone was
      working on it.

      revert "mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low" · 62376251
      Johannes Weiner authored
      This reverts commit 0bf1457f ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
      just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
      mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
      trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.
      
      The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
      between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
      thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
      The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
      situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.
      
      This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
      relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
      is obviously worse than the disease.  Revert it.

      autofs: fix lockref lookup · 6b6751f7
      Ian Kent authored
      autofs needs to be able to see private data dentry flags for its dentrys
      that are being created but not yet hashed and for its dentrys that have
      been rmdir()ed but not yet freed.  It needs to do this so it can block
      processes in these states until a status has been returned to indicate
      the given operation is complete.
      
      It does this by keeping two lists, active and expring, of dentrys in
      this state and uses ->d_release() to keep them stable while it checks
      the reference count to determine if they should be used.
      
      But with the recent lockref changes dentrys being freed sometimes don't
      transition to a reference count of 0 before being freed so autofs can
      occassionally use a dentry that is invalid which can lead to a panic.
