WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x16910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'kthreadd' and 'init_waitqueue_head') comes because kernel/kthread.c:kthreadd() is not __init but calls kthreadd_setup() which is __init. But this is ok, because kthreadd_setup() is only ever called at init time, and then kthreadd() proceeds into its "for (;;)" loop. We could mark kthreadd __init_refok, but kthreadd_setup() with just one callsite and 4 lines in it (it's been that small since 10ab825b) doesn't need to be a separate function at all -- so let's just move those four lines at beginning of kthreadd() itself.

It is possible that another process could acquire a new file lease right after break_lease() is called during a truncate, but before lease-granting is disabled by the subsequent get_write_access(). Merely switching the order of the break_lease() and get_write_access() calls prevents this race. Signed-off-by:

This is only called at init time and only happens if the BIOS screws something up, so the leak is slight and it is probably not worth sending to 2.6.22.x. The driver would not initialize the interface in the case, and I have no reports of this happening. I have booted and run tests on a system with this patch. Note that the original patch was munged by the mailer, here's a new one. If we ever hit the "default:" case in the switch in try_init_dmi(), then we'll leak the storage allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'info'. Signed-off-by:

The patch in commit ID f7232056 stops (aborts) the MPSC's receive engine just before restarting it. Unfortunately, it doesn't wait for the abort to complete before restarting it which creates a race between the abort and the restart. If the restart occurs first, the in-progress abort stops it again and the rx engine remains stopped. Instead, do the abort when the SDMA engine is being stopped. Make sure to wait for the abort to complete before continuing. Signed-off-by:

It turned out that mounting a corrupted ISO image to a regular file may succeed, e.g. if an image was prepared as follows: $ dd if=correct.iso of=bad.iso bs=4k count=8 We then can mount it to a regular file: # mount -o loop -t iso9660 bad.iso /tmp/file But mounting it to a directory fails with -ENOTDIR, simply because the root directory inode doesn't have S_IFDIR set and the condition in graft_tree() is met: if (S_ISDIR(nd->dentry->d_inode->i_mode) != S_ISDIR(mnt->mnt_root->d_inode->i_mode)) return -ENOTDIR This is because the root directory inode was read from an incorrect block. It's supposed to be read from sbi->s_firstdatazone, which is an absolute value and gets messed up in the case of an incorrect image. In order to somehow circumvent this we have to check that the root directory inode is actually a directory after all. Signed-off-by:

Fix file locking for AFS: (*) Start the lock manager thread under a mutex to avoid a race. (*) Made the locking non-fair: New readlocks will jump pending writelocks if there's a readlock currently granted on a file. This makes the behaviour similar to Linux's VFS locking.

The rcu_dereference() primitive needs to be applied to an l-value in order to ensure that compiler writers don't get an opportunity to apply reordering optimizations that could result in multiple fetches or in other misbehavior. This patch pulls the rcu_dereference() calls in bpq_seq_next() up to the point at which the fetched pointers are still l-values, rather than after list_entry() has transformed them into r-values.

When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the segment is already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the subsequent code leaks the existing user struct: == ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() == ... err = shmem_lock(shp->shm_file, 1, user); if (!err) { shp->shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED; shp->mlock_user = user; } ... == Other results of this are: 1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed memory when the task dies. 2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs. The exploit looks like this: == id = shmget(...); setresuid(uid, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); setresuid(uid + 1, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); == My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the segment's user.

The spidev driver doesn't currently expose all SPI communications modes to userspace. This passes them all through to the driver. Two of them are potentially troublesome, in the sense that they could cause hardware conflicts on shared busses. It might be appropriate to add some privilege checks for for those modes.
