This fixes the problem of an oops occuring when a user attempts to add a key to a non-keyring key [CVE-2006-1522]. The problem is that __keyring_search_one() doesn't check that the keyring it's been given is actually a keyring. I've fixed this problem by: (1) declaring that caller of __keyring_search_one() must guarantee that the keyring is a keyring; and (2) making key_create_or_update() check that the keyring is a keyring, and return -ENOTDIR if it isn't. This can be tested by: keyctl add user b b `keyctl add user a a @s` Signed-off-by:David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words. However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is a number of bytes. This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful. This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going in to mainline. (akpm: target 2.6.17-rc2, 2.6.16.3 (approx)) Discovered-by:

Fixed encrypted of EAPOL frames from wlan#ap interface (hostapd). This was broken when moving to use new frame control field defines in net/ieee80211.h. hostapd uses Protected flag, not protocol version (which was cleared in this function anyway). This fixes WPA group key handshake and re-authentication. http://hostap.epitest.fi/bugz/show_bug.cgi?id=126Signed-off-by:

Wrong error path in dup_fd() - it should return NULL on error, not an address of already freed memory :/ Triggered by OpenVZ stress test suite.

This patch replaces the split ISO raw_mask calculation code in the iso_stream_init() function that computed incorrect numbers of high speed transactions for both input and output transfers. In the output case, it added a superfluous start-split transaction for all maxmimum packet sizes that are a multiple of 188. In the input case, it forgot to add complete-split transactions for all microframes covered by the full speed transaction, and the additional complete-split transaction needed for the case when full speed data starts arriving near the end of a microframe. These changes don't affect the lack of full speed bandwidth, but at least it removes the MMF errors that the HC raised with some input streams. Signed-off-by:

tlclk calls register_chrdev() and permits register_chrdev() to allocate the major, but it promptly forgets what that major was. So if there's no hardware present you still get "telco_clock" appearing in /proc/devices and, I assume, an oops reading /proc/devices if tlclk was a module. Fix. Mark, I'd suggest that that we not call register_chrdev() until _after_ we've established that the hardware is present. Cc: Mark Gross <mgross@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:

We have noticed lockups during boot when stress testing kexec on ppc64. Two cpus would deadlock in scheduler code trying to grab already taken spinlocks. The double_rq_lock code uses the address of the runqueue to order the taking of multiple locks. This address is a per cpu variable: if (rq1 < rq2) { spin_lock(&rq1->lock); spin_lock(&rq2->lock); } else { spin_lock(&rq2->lock); spin_lock(&rq1->lock); } On the other hand, the code in wake_sleeping_dependent uses the cpu id order to grab locks: for_each_cpu_mask(i, sibling_map) spin_lock(&cpu_rq(i)->lock); This means we rely on the address of per cpu data increasing as cpu ids increase. While this will be true for the generic percpu implementation it may not be true for arch specific implementations. One way to solve this is to always take runqueues in cpu id order. To do this we add a cpu variable to the runqueue and check it in the double runqueue locking functions. Signed-off-by:Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by:

If a file is not found in v9fs_vfs_lookup, the function creates negative dentry, but doesn't assign any dentry ops. This leaves the negative entry in the cache (there is no d_delete to mark it for removal). If the file is created outside of the mounted v9fs filesystem, the file shows up in the directory with weird permissions. This patch assigns the default v9fs dentry ops to the negative dentry.
