Chuck Ebbert noticed that the desc_empty macro is incorrect. Fix it. Thankfully, this is not used as a security check, but it can falsely overwrite TLS segments with carefully chosen base / limits. I do not believe this is an issue in practice, but it is a kernel bug.

When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing, a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits. The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value (as per the NFS spec). The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777. Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

Proper parentheses around arguments needed, especially as the macros use a high-precedence cast operator on the argument.

Reported by: Pavel Kysilka (Bugzilla Bug 5059) The intelfb driver does not keep resolution set with fbset after switching to anot console and back. Steps to reproduce: initial options: tty1,tty2 - 1024x768-60 1) tty1 - fbset after booting (1024x768-60) 2) tty1 - fbset 800x600-100 tty1: 800x600-100 3) swith to tty2, swith to tty1 tty1: 1024x768-60 (the same resolution as default from kernel booting) This bug is caused by intelfb unintentionally destroying info->flags in set_par(). Therefore the flag, FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT used to notify fbcon of a mode change was cleared causing the above problem. This bug though is not intelfb specific, as other drivers may also be affected. The fix is to save info->flags in a local variable before calling any of the driver hooks. A more definitive fix (for post 2.6.13) is to separate info->flags into one that is set by the driver and another that is set by core fbdev/fbcon.

This adds a MOVE_SELF event to inotify. It is sent whenever the inode you are watching is moved. We need this event so that we can catch something like this: - app1: watch /etc/mtab - app2: cp /etc/mtab /tmp/mtab-work mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab~ mv /tmp/mtab-work /etc/mtab app1 still thinks it's watching /etc/mtab but it's actually watching /etc/mtab~.

we could do one thing (see the patch below): i think it would be useful to fill up the netlogging skb queue straight at initialization time. Especially if netpoll is used for dumping alone, the system might not be in a situation to fill up the queue at the point of crash, so better be a bit more prepared and keep the pipeline filled.

Add limited retry logic to netpoll_send_skb Each time we attempt to send, decrement our per-device retry counter. On every successful send, we reset the counter. We delay 50us between attempts with up to 20000 retries for a total of 1 second. After we've exhausted our retries, subsequent failed attempts will try only once until reset by success.

Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion failure in tcp_mark_head_lost. First of all, this can only occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here. If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems. So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering. Normally fackets_out is less than packets_out. The only reason I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored in the TSO skb. This might occur as the result of an expiring dst entry. In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in tcp_output.c). However, fackets_out is unchanged which means that it may in fact exceed packets_out. Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing fackets_out. So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate amount here as well. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
