It's a dword thing, and the value we write is a dword. Doing a byte write to it is nonsensical, and writes only the low byte, which only contains the enable bit. So we enable a nonsensical address (usually zero), which causes the controller no end of problems. Trivial fix, but nasty to find.

In 2.6.13-rcX the MASQUERADE target was changed not to exclude local packets for better source address consistency. This breaks DHCP clients using UDP sockets when the DHCP requests are caught by a MASQUERADE rule because the MASQUERADE target drops packets when no address is configured on the outgoing interface. This patch makes it ignore packets with a source address of 0. Thanks to Rusty for this suggestion. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>

R�diger found a bug in nv_open that explains some of the reports with duplex mismatches: nv_open calls nv_update_link_speed for initializing the hardware link speed registers. If current link setting matches the values in np->linkspeed and np->duplex, then the function does nothing. Usually, doing nothing is the right thing, but not in nv_open: During nv_open, the registers must be initialized because the nic was reset. The attached patch fixes that by setting np->linkspeed to an invalid value before calling nv_update_link_speed from nv_open.

This patch adds lost sockfd_put() in 32bit compat rounting_ioctl() on 64bit platforms, bug found by Vasiliy Averin <vvs@sw.ru>. I believe this is a security issues, since user can fget() file as many times as he wants to. So file refcounter can be overlapped and first fput() will free resources though there will be still structures pointing to the file, mnt, dentry etc. Also fput() sets f_dentry and f_vfsmnt to NULL, so other file users will OOPS. The oops can be done under files_lock and others, so this can be an exploitable DoS on SMP. Didn't checked it on practice actually.

When we copy 32bit ->msg_control contents to kernel, we walk the same userland data twice without sanity checks on the second pass. Second version of this patch: the original broke with 64-bit arches running 32-bit-compat-mode executables doing sendmsg() syscalls with unaligned CMSG data areas Another thing is that we use kmalloc() to allocate and sock_kfree_s() to free afterwards; less serious, but also needs fixing.

[NET]: 2.6.13 breaks libpcap (and tcpdump) Patrick McHardy says: Never mind, I got it, we never fall through to the second switch statement anymore. I think we could simply break when load_pointer returns NULL. The switch statement will fall through to the default case and return 0 for all cases but 0 > k >= SKF_AD_OFF. Here's a patch to do just that. I left BPF_MSH alone because it's really a hack to calculate the IP header length, which makes no sense when applied to the special data.

I had some time to think about PCI assign issues in 2.6.13-rc series. The major problem here is that we call pci_assign_unassigned_resources() way too early - at subsys_initcall level. Therefore we give no chances to ACPI and PnP routines (called at fs_initcall level) to reserve their respective resources properly, as the comments in drivers/pnp/system.c and drivers/acpi/motherboard.c suggest: /** * Reserve motherboard resources after PCI claim BARs, * but before PCI assign resources for uninitialized PCI devices */ So I moved the pci_assign_unassigned_resources() call to pcibios_assign_resources() (fs_initcall), which should hopefully fix a lot of problems and make PCIBIOS_MIN_IO tweaks unnecessary. Other changes: - remove resource assignment code from pcibios_assign_resources(), since it duplicates pci_assign_unassigned_resources() functionality and actually does nothing in 2.6.13; - modify ROM assignment code as per Ben's suggestion: try to use firmware settings by default (if PCI_ASSIGN_ROMS is not set); - set CARDBUS_IO_SIZE back to 4K as it's a wonderful stress test for various setups. Confirmed by Tero Roponen <teanropo@cc.jyu.fi> (who had problems with the 4kB CardBus IO size previously).

[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ] I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL. What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626). So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2, as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called. Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses. The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't oops.

I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak. While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of /proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object. Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak.

- copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return value. - severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek to the end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and if (count + *ppos > mmapper_size) count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size; will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count); with obvious results (similar for ->write()). Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing normal limiting of count in ->write(). - gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there. - lots of gratuitous includes.

Don't check type of sax25_family; dev_set_mac_address has already done that before and anyway, the type to check against would have been ARPHRD_AX25. We only got away because AF_AX25 and ARPHRD_AX25 both happen to be defined to the same value. Don't check sax25_ndigis either; it's value is insignificant for the purpose of setting the MAC address and the check has shown to break some application software for no good reason.

The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by removing a device while it's initialising. The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs, the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL. (akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.

Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64. This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks and other nasty behaviour. This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that should be only a few percent error now. Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now too because it offers more flexibility.
