      [PATCH] selinux: add IPv6 support · 5e752b7e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
      
      The patch below adds explicit IPv6 support to SELinux.
      
      Brief description of changes:
      
      o IPv6 networking is now subject to the same controls as IPv4 (in
        addition to the generic socket permissions which cover all protocols),
        namely: bind to local node address; bind to local port; send & receive
        TCP/UDP and raw IP packets based on local network interface and remote
        node address.
      
      o Packet parsing has been extended to IPv6 packets for logging and
        control, and simplified for IPv4.
      
      o Support for logging of IPv6 addresses has also been added.
      
      o The kernel policy database code has been modified to support IPv6, and
        reworked to provide generic security policy version handling so that
        older policy versions will still work, making upgrading simpler.
      
      Corresponding userspace patches are available at
      <http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/ipv6/>, although current
      userspace tools will continue to function normally (but without explicit
      IPv6 support).
      
      For more details at the security management level, see
      <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=108068187630948&w=2>
      
      This code has been under testing and review for several weeks.

      reiserfs-writepage-ordered-race needs a minor update to include your latest
      __block_write_full_page fixes for the direct_read_under bug Daniel was

      [PATCH] reiserfs: fix race with writepage · 7a06b83d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      Fix reiserfs_writepage so it doesn't race with data=ordered writes.  This
      still has a pending fix to redirty the page when it finds a locked buffer. 
      Waiting for Andrew to finish sorting that out on ext3 first.

      [PATCH] reiserfs: tail repacking fix · fb1b3b04
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      Repacking a tail might leave a journal handle attached to an unmapped buffer.
       If that buffer gets dirtied again (via mmap for example), the reiserfs
      data=ordered code might try to write the dirty unmapped buffer to disk.
      
      The fix is to make sure we remove the journal handle when we unmap buffers.

      [PATCH] reiserfs: logging rework · 7c563ced
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      reiserfs logging rework, making things much faster for small transactions. 
      metadata buffers are dirtied when they are safe to write, so normal kernel
      mechanisms can contribute to log cleaning.

      [PATCH] Fix ext3 transaction batching · 545b0840
      Andrew Morton authored
      ext3 transaction batching has been ineffective since the scheduler changes
      forced us to replace the yield() with a schedule().
      
      Using schedule_timeout(1) fixes it up again.  Benchmarking is positive with
      wither a 1 or 10 millisecond delay in there, so there appears to be no need
      to play around with HZ.

      [PATCH] Non-Exec stack support · 01cc53b2
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de>
      
      A patch to parse the elf binaries for a PT_GNU_STACK section to set the stack
      non-executable if possible.  Most parts have been shamelessly stolen from
      Ingo Molnar's more ambitious stackshield
      http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.6.4-C9
      
      The toolchain has meanwhile support for marking the binaries with a
      PT_GNU_STACK section wwithout x bit as needed.
      
      If no such section is found, we leave the stack to whatever the arch defaults
      to.  If there is one, we explicitly disabled the VM_EXEC bit if no x bit is
      found, otherwise explicitly enable.

      [PATCH] Fix 32bit statfs on NFS · 678736c9
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de>
      
      The attached patch fixes a problem with the 32bit statfs call on NFS file
      systems.  Some NFS servers return a value of -1 for the f_files and f_ffree.
      The current code would think this is a 64bit value that cannot be converted
      to 32bits.  Consequently, the system call would always fail.
      
      The patch adds two special if() to detect a value of -1 for f_files and
      f_ffree.

      [PATCH] v4l: bttv driver update · 2b12289c
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org>
      
      This patch updates the bttv driver.  Changes:
      
        (1) several card-specific tweaks.
        (2) make software vs. hardware i2c configurable per TV card.
        (3) reinitialize image parameters after chip reset.
        (4) make bttv quite by default on frame drops.
        (5) new insmod option: "debug_latency=1" to enable frame drop
            debug messages.
      
      bttv is quite sensitive to irq latencies, especially when capturing both
      video and vbi.  There are several reports about problems due to this, I don't
      see that on my machines through.  (5) dumps a stracktrace if the driver
      thinks the frame drop is is caused by high latencies as experiment, lets see
      whenever that helps ...
