Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption. page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0) to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the buddy lists. Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was not on the buddy lists).

During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel. The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one page being in the request. So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send it. Reported and tested by Konstantin Isakov.

This patch fixes a boot problem of the m32r SMP kernel 2.6.16-rc1-mm3 or later. In this patch, cpu_possible_map is statically initialized, and cpu_present_map is also copied from cpu_possible_map in smp_prepare_cpus(), because the m32r architecture has not supported CPU hotplug yet.

Update {get,put}_user macros for m32r kernel. - Modify get_user to use __get_user_asm macro, instead of __get_user_x macro. - Remove arch/m32r/lib/{get,put}user.S. - Some cosmetic updates. I would like to thank NIIBE Yutaka for his reporting about the m32r kernel's security problem in {get,put}_user macros. There were no address checking for user space access in {get,put}_user macros. ;-) Signed-off-by: Hirokazu Takata <takata@linux-m32r.org> Cc: NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@fsij.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

[NETFILTER]: Fix fragmentation issues with bridge netfilter The conntrack code doesn't do re-fragmentation of defragmented packets anymore but relies on fragmentation in the IP layer. Purely bridged packets don't pass through the IP layer, so the bridge netfilter code needs to take care of fragmentation itself.

The MPBL0010 Telco clock driver (drivers/char/tlclk.c) uses 0222 (anyone can write) permissions on its writable sysfs entries. Alter the permissions to 0220 (owner and group can write). The use case for this driver is to configure the fail over behavior of the clock hardware. That should be done by the more privileged users.

*) When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(), the kernel still try to install the alternate stack. This behavior is the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix Specifications V3. *) Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the flag SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on signal delivery. These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery. This fixes it.

Since the powerpc 64k pages patch went in, systems that have SLBs (like Power4 iSeries) needed to have slb_initialize called to set up some variables for the SLB miss handler. This was not being called on the boot processor on iSeries, so on single cpu iSeries machines, we would get apparent memory curruption as soon as we entered user mode. This patch fixes that by calling slb_initialize on the boot cpu if the processor has an SLB. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Intel EM64T CPUs handle uncanonical return addresses differently from AMD CPUs. The exception is reported in the SYSRET, not the next instruction. Thgis leads to the kernel exception handler running on the user stack with the wrong GS because the kernel didn't expect exceptions on this instruction. This version of the patch has the teething problems that plagued an earlier version fixed. This is CVE-2006-0744 Thanks to Ernie Petrides and Asit B. Mallick for analysis and initial patches.

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: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

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.
