The direct I/O write codepath for CIFS is done through cifs_user_write(). That function does not currently call generic_write_checks() so the file position isn't being properly set when the file is opened with O_APPEND. It's also not doing the other "normal" checks that should be done for a write call. The problem is currently that when you open a file with O_APPEND on a mount with the directio mount option, the file position is set to the beginning of the file. This makes any subsequent writes clobber the data in the file starting at the beginning. This seems to fix the problem in cursory testing. It is, however important to note that NFS disallows the combination of (O_DIRECT|O_APPEND). If my understanding is correct, the concern is races with multiple clients appending to a file clobbering each others' data. Since the write model for CIFS and NFS is pretty similar in this regard, CIFS is probably subject to the same sort of races. What's unclear to me is why this is a particular problem with O_DIRECT and not with buffered writes... Regardless, disallowing O_APPEND on an entire mount is probably not reasonable, so we'll probably just have to deal with it and reevaluate this flag combination when we get proper support for O_DIRECT. In the meantime this patch at least fixes the existing problem. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Cc: Stable Tree <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

Kanru Chen posted a patch versus the old code which deals with the case where you resize the pty side of a pty/tty pair. In that situation the termios data is updated for both pty and tty but the locks are not held for the right side. This implements the fix differently against the updated tty code. Patch by self but the hard bit (noticing and fixing the bug) is thanks to Kanru Chen. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The last eight bytes of the password field were not cleared when doing lanman plaintext password authentication. This patch fixes that. I tested it with Samba by setting password encryption to no in the server's smb.conf. Other servers also can be configured to force plaintext authentication. Note that plaintexti authentication requires setting /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags to 0x30030 on the client (enabling both LANMAN and also plaintext password support). Also note that LANMAN support (and thus plaintext password support) requires CONFIG_CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH to be enabled in menuconfig.

Here's the patch. It shrinks the stack from 1152 bytes to 192 bytes (the first version, that only did the e1000_option part, got it down to 600 bytes). About half comes from not using multiple "e1000_option" structures, the other half comes from turning the "e1000_opt_list[]" arrays into "static const" instead, so that gcc doesn't copy them onto the stack.

I've been painstakingly debugging the issue with suspend to ram and ftraced. The 2.6.28 code does not have this issue, but since the mcount recording is not going to be in 27, this must be solved for the ftrace daemon version. The resume from suspend to ram would reboot because it was triple faulting. Debugging further, I found that calling the mcount function itself was not an issue, but it would fault when it incremented preempt_count. preempt_count is on the tasks info structure that is on the low memory address of the task's stack. For some reason, it could not write to it. Resuming out of suspend to ram does quite a lot of funny tricks to get to work, so it is not surprising at all that simply doing a preempt_disable() would cause a fault. Thanks to Rafael for suggesting to add a "while (1);" to find the place in resuming that is causing the fault. I would place the loop somewhere in the code, compile and reboot and see if it would either reboot (hit the fault) or simply hang (hit the loop). Doing this over and over again, I narrowed it down that it was happening in enable_nonboot_cpus. At this point, I found that it is easier to simply disable tracing around the suspend code, instead of searching for the particular function that can not handle doing a preempt_disable. This patch disables the tracer as it suspends and reenables it on resume. I tested this patch on my Laptop, and it can resume fine with the patch.

This reverts commit 5b6155ee, because the block device ioctl's really aren't ready for it. In particular, the "struct file *" and the "struct inode *" arguments do not necessarily match, which means that the unlocked version of the ioctl (that only gets a "struct file *") isn't actually able to handle the cases it needs to handle.

This patch changes the interface of the cmd filter to use a +/- notation like: echo -- +0x02 +0x03 -0x08 If neither + or - is given it defaults to + (allow command). Note: The interface was added in 2.6.17-rc1 and is unused and undocumented so far so it's safe to change it.

cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them. The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter isn't safe. SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their gendisk. This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to. The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via /sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.
