      remove nonsense force-casts from ocfs2 · 97bd7919
      Al Viro authored 
      endianness annotations in networking code had been in place for quite a
while; in particular, sin_port and s_addr are annotated as big-endian.

Code in ocfs2 had __force casts added apparently to shut the sparse
warnings up; of course, these days they only serve to *produce* warnings
for no reason whatsoever...

      regression: bfs endianness bug · 7e46aa5c
      Al Viro authored 
      BFS_FILEBLOCKS() expects struct bfs_inode * (on-disk data, with little-
endian fields), not struct bfs_inode_info * (in-core stuff, with host-
endian ones).

It's a macro and fields with the right names are present in
bfs_inode_info, so it compiles, but on big-endian host it gives bogus
results.

Introduced in commit f433dc56 ("Fixes to
the BFS filesystem driver").

      Eric Paris authored 
      Given a specifically crafted binary do_brk() can be used to get low pages
available in userspace virtual memory and can thus be used to circumvent
the mmap_min_addr low memory protection.  Add security checks in do_brk().

      SLUB's ksize() fails for size > 2048 · 294a80a8
      Vegard Nossum authored 
      I can't pass memory allocated by kmalloc() to ksize() if it is allocated by
SLUB allocator and size is larger than (I guess) PAGE_SIZE / 2.

The error of ksize() seems to be that it does not check if the allocation
was made by SLUB or the page allocator.

      proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcounting · 5a622f2d
      Alexey Dobriyan authored 
      Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
Switch to usual scheme:
* PDE is created with refcount 1
* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.

This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
lock_kernel():

1) PDE leak

remove_proc_entry			de_put
-----------------			------
			[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
					if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
						if (de->deleted)
							/* also not taken! */
							free_proc_entry(de);
else
	de->deleted = 1;
		[refcount=0, deleted=1]

2) use after free

remove_proc_entry			de_put
-----------------			------
			[refcnt = 1]

					if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
	free_proc_entry(de);
						/* boom! */
						if (de->deleted)
							free_proc_entry(de);

Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds,
module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
can mark PDE deleted.

Dummy proc root in netns code is not marked with refcount 1. AFAICS, we
never get it, it's just for proper /proc/net removal. I double checked
CLONE_NETNS continues to work.

Patch survives many hours of modprobe/rmmod/cat loops without new bugs
which can be attributed to refcounting.

      jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c · d4beaf4a
      Jan Kara authored 
      Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.

If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).

We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state.  The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;().  We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.

Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either.  Better be safe if something
changes in future...
