  • a70ea994a   [NETLINK]: Fix a severe bug ... Browse Code »

    netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink.
    Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket,
    so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be,
    and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock
    of rtnetlink.

    Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional
    argument to netlink_attachskb().

    A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed
    to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even
    have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases:
    1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot
    wait for buffer space.
    2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered
    to some recipients.

  • 7c7dce920   [PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_open ... Browse Code »

    Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and
    cleaned the logics up. Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open()
    expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers
    them into created struct file or drops them. Old code had been very
    confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open()
    or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once
    by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open().

    Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open()
    same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly;
    that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on
    normal path.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
