The xattr file open/lookup code is needlessly complex. We can use vfs-level operations to perform the same work, and also simplify the locking constraints. The locking advantages will be exploited in future patches. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The current reiserfs xattr implementation will not clean up old xattr files if files are deleted when REISERFS_FS_XATTR is unset. This results in inaccessible lost files, wasting space. This patch compiles in basic xattr knowledge, such as how to delete them and change ownership for quota tracking. If the file system has never used xattrs, then the operation is quite fast: it returns immediately when it sees there is no .reiserfs_priv directory.

There are a number of helper functions for marking a reiserfs inode private that were leftover from reiserfs did its own thing wrt to private inodes. S_PRIVATE has been in the kernel for some time, so this patch removes the helpers and uses IS_PRIVATE instead.

Early in the reiserfs xattr development, there was a plan to use hardlinks to save disk space for identical xattrs. That code never materialized and isn't going to, so this patch removes the detection code. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Although reiserfs can currently handle severe errors such as journal failure, it cannot handle less severe errors like metadata i/o failure. The following patch adds a reiserfs_error() function akin to the one in ext3. Subsequent patches will use this new error handler to handle errors more gracefully in general.

This patch kills off reiserfs_journal_abort as it is never called, and combines __reiserfs_journal_abort_{soft,hard} into one function called reiserfs_abort_journal, which performs the same work. It is silent as opposed to the old version, since the message was always issued after a regular 'abort' message.

ReiserFS panics can be somewhat inconsistent. In some cases: * a unique identifier may be associated with it * the function name may be included * the device may be printed separately This patch aims to make warnings more consistent. reiserfs_warning() prints the device name, so printing it a second time is not required. The function name for a warning is always helpful in debugging, so it is now automatically inserted into the output. Hans has stated that every warning should have a unique identifier. Some cases lack them, others really shouldn't have them. reiserfs_warning() now expects an id associated with each message. In the rare case where one isn't needed, "" will suffice.

The formatting of the error buffer is race prone. It uses static buffers for both formatting and output. While overwriting the error buffer can product garbled output, overwriting the format buffer with incompatible % directives can cause crashes.

vsprintf will consume varargs on its own. Skipping them manually results in garbage in the error buffer, or Oopses in the case of pointers.

This patch fixes up the reiserfs code such that transaction ids are always unsigned ints. In places they can currently be signed ints or unsigned longs. The former just causes an annoying clm-2200 warning and may join a transaction when it should wait. The latter is just for correctness since the disk format uses a 32-bit transaction id. There aren't any runtime problems that result from it not wrapping at the correct location since the value is truncated correctly even on big endian systems. The 0 value might make it to disk, but the mount-time checks will bump it to 10 itself. Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat was possible during lookup. This patch moves the crypt_stat assignment into ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower(), ensuring that crypt_stat will not be NULL before we attempt to dereference it.

When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page(). However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front field. ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single, zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K. This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents(). Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this vulnerability.

This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written over and over again until it sticks, so we do that. Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state() at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS and NL80211_CMD_SET_MESH_PARAMS handlers did not verify whether a function pointer is NULL (not supported by the driver) before trying to call the function. The former nl80211 command is available for unprivileged users, too, so this can potentially allow normal users to kill networking (or worse..) if mac80211 is built without CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=y.
