generic_permission was refusing CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH-enabled processes from opening DAC-protected files read-only, because do_filp_open adds MAY_OPEN to the open mask. Ignore MAY_OPEN. After this patch, CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH is again sufficient to open(fname, O_RDONLY) on a file to which DAC otherwise refuses us read permission.

The wrong address was being used to write the SCIR led regs on remote hubs. Also, there was an inconsistency between how BIOS and the kernel indexed these regs. Standardize on using the lower 6 bits of the APIC ID as the index. This patch fixes the problem of writing to an errant address to a cpu # >= 64.

Move sys_mmap_pgoff() from mm/util.c to mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c, where we'd expect to find such code: especially now that it contains the MAP_HUGETLB handling. Revert mm/util.c to how it was in 2.6.32. This patch just ignores MAP_HUGETLB in the nommu case, as in 2.6.32, whereas 2.6.33-rc2 reported -ENOSYS. Perhaps validate_mmap_request() should reject it with -EINVAL? Add that later if necessary.

commit 45465487 ("kfifo: move struct kfifo in place") caused a compile failure in ibmvscsitgt.c because it changed a pointer to kfifo in the libsrp.h structure to a direct inclusion without including <linux/kfifo.h>. The fix is simple, just add the include, but how did this happen? This change, introduced at -rc2, hardly looks like a bug fix, and it clearly didn't go through linux-next, which would have picked up this compile failure (it only occurs on ppc because of the ibm virtual scsi target).

If two arrays share a device, then they will not both resync at the same time. One will wait for the other to complete. While waiting, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag is not checked so a device failure, which would make the resync pointless, does not cause the resync to abort, so the failed device cannot be removed (as it cannot be remove while a resync is happening). So add a test for MD_RECOVERY_INTR. Reported-by: Brett Russ <bruss@netezza.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Since commit dfc70645, ->hot_remove_disks has not removed non-failed devices from an array until recovery is no longer possible. So the code in do_md_run to get around the fact that md_check_recovery (which calls ->hot_remove_disks) would remove partially-in-sync devices is no longer needed. So remove it.

By default md_do_sync() will perform recovery if no other actions are specified. However, action_show() relies on MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER to be set otherwise it returns 'idle'. So, add a missing set MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER when starting recovery. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

NeilBrown authored
The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first write. This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something else writes to the device. This is important for resume-from-disk off an md array. However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly', not 'auto-readonly'. So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the array is not already read-only. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

evms configures md arrays by: open device send ioctl close device for each different ioctl needed. Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close' unless a significant configuration has happened to the device. The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad. So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other things when the array is stopped). This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers, queue work, and so on for a device which is completley unfunctional. The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

Luis R. Rodriguez authored
When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked. If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable upon resume. Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the beginning of suspend cycle. The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch. For further details see refer to the thread: http://marc.info/?t=126144866100001&r=1&w=2 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This could possibly lead to throughput issues due to slow rate control adaption or missed retransmissions of failed A-MPDU frames.

In that case, it may happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held because the user is requesting the deauth. The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although userspace was no longer expecting that. To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

Bob Copeland authored
The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll() instead of via a timer. However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a softlockup at modprobe time. Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine, but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

When fixed bssid is requested when joining an ibss network, incoming beacons that match the configured bssid cause mac80211 to create new sta entries, even before the ibss interface is in joined state. When that happens, it fails to bring up the interface entirely, because it checks for existing sta entries before joining. This patch fixes this bug by refusing to create sta info entries before the interface is fully operational. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

The gfar_select_queue() function was used to set queue mapping only for forwarding/bridging applications and the condition for locally generated packets was completely ignored. The solution is to remove the gfar_select_queue() function and use skb_record_rx_queue to set queue mapping for forwarding/bridging applications. This will ensure that in case of forwarding/bridging applications txq = rxq will be selected and skb_tx_hash will be used to pick up a txq for locally generated packets.
