      [PATCH] paride cleanup and fixes (2/25) · 227aca07
      Alexander Viro authored
      Preparation to crapectomy - expanded include of pseudo.h, split
      the part of pd_do_request() into pd_do_request1(), leaving in pd_do_request()
      only the check that FSM is not running and call of pd_do_request1().
      Added locking analysis - it's in drivers/block/paride/Transition-notes
      and it will be used on the next step.  Even though the subsequent steps are
      small, they rely on properties of the damn thing and proof of these properties
      is hairy.  Amazing perversions people manage to produce when writing a trivial
      FSM - the code is very convoluted for no good reason...

      [PATCH] parport fixes (6/6) · a2cafb3c
      Alexander Viro authored
      	daisy.c used to access the topology list with no locking whatsoever.
      Protected by spinlock, fixed numerous bugs in handling of the single-linked
      list (I'm not kidding - just take a look at the old parport_daisy_fini()
      and weep; it is supposed to go through a simple list and remove all entries
      that satisfy a condition).

      [PATCH] parport fixes (2/6) · 3833f137
      Alexander Viro authored
      	We use a new mutex to protect all additions/removals of drivers and
      ports.  That cures a lot of insanity:
      	* driver removals can't hit us in the middle of attach_driver_chain().
      Old code simply dies on that.
      	* port removals can't hit us in the middle of driver registration.
      Again, old code dies on that.
      	* driver ->detach() is allowed to block now.
      	* we are guaranteed that by the time when parport_unregister_driver()
      returns, all ->detach() calls are finished.  Old code did _not_ guarantee
      that (read: was inherently racy since rmmod of driver could race with port
      removal and get driver->detach(port) called after the module was gone).
      	* we are guaranteed that driver->attach(port) won't be called
      more than once.  With the old code that was a matter of luck.
      	* removed piles and piles of braindead code.

      [PATCH] parport fixes (1/6) · 8d19538b
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Current tree has all allocated ports on portlist.  However,
      most of the portlist users assume that we only have announced ports
      there and break badly if they happen to see the list after port driver
      has created a port (parport_register_port()) but before it finishes
      the setup (and calls parport_announce_port()).
      	The only place that wants to see all allocated port is
      parport_register_port() itself and only to pick the first unused
      port number.
      	We add a new list (all_ports) and put ports there when allocated;
      that list is kept ordered by port->number.  Ports are placed on portlist
      only by parport_announce_port().
      	Gobs of shite in parport_register_port() removed, pile of races
      closed...

      [PATCH] bmac network driver update · c32262de
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      Hi !
      
      I didn't include that with the bitkeeper based PowerMac updates so Jeff
      can assume his role as maintainer/filter of network driver updates :)
      
      Here's my latest update to this pmac-only driver, please apply if you
      are ok with it. The driver now uses the macio infrastructure for
      detection & power management notifications, getting into sysfs at
      the same time.
      
      Ben.

      [PATCH] Fix block device inode list corruptions · 2cecfc0f
      Stephen C. Tweedie authored
      I've been chasing a weird SELinux bug which shows up mostly when doing
      installs of a dev-* rpm (ie. creating and overwriting lots of block
      device inodes), but which I've also seen when doing mkinitrd.
      
      It turned out not to be an SELinux problem at all, but a core VFS
      S_ISBLK bug.  It seems that SELinux simply widens the race window.
      
      The code at fault is fs/fs-writeback.c:__mark_inode_dirty():
      
      		/*
      		 * Only add valid (hashed) inodes to the superblock's
      		 * dirty list.  Add blockdev inodes as well.
      		 */
      		if (!S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode)) {
      			if (hlist_unhashed(&inode->i_hash))
      				goto out;
      			if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_CLEAR))
      				goto out;
      		}
      
      The "I_FREEING|I_CLEAR" condition was added after the ISBLK/unhashed
      tests were already in the source, but I can't see any reason why we'd
      want the I_FREEING test not to apply to block devices.  And indeed, this
      results in all sorts of inode list corruptions.  Simply moving the
      I_FREEING|I_CLEAR test out of the protection of the S_ISBLK() condition
      fixes things entirely.
      
      The existing 2.6 kernel will reliably fail on me in about 2 seconds once
      "rpm -Uvh --force dev*.rpm" starts its actual installation of the new
      inodes.  With the patch below I can't reproduce it at all.

      [PATCH] Fix ptrace in the vsyscall dso area · 4df5d868
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
      
      The #include is the part of this patch that matters, so the #ifdef below
      works.
      
      The rest of the patch removes gratuitous duplication due to some strange
      aversion to concision in the presence of #ifdef, the kind that is all too
      common, utterly pointless, and error prone.
