  • We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead
    of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a
    struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally.
    Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack
    struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending
    bit.

  • Since it's an opportunistic writeback and not a data integrity action,
    don't punt to blocking writeback. Just wakeup the thread and it will
    flush old data.

  • If we pass a big size data over perf_counter_open() syscall,
    the kernel will copy this data to a small buffer, it will
    cause kernel crash.

    This bug makes the kernel unsafe and non-root local user can
    trigger it.

  • Without this patch building a kernel emits millions of warning like:

    include/linux/selinux.h:92: warning: ?selinux_is_enabled? defined but not used

    When it is build without CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX. This is harmless, but
    the function should be inlined, so it gets compiled out.

    ARM: implement highpte
    ARM: Show FIQ in /proc/interrupts on CONFIG_FIQ
    ...

    Fix up trivial conflict in arch/arm/kernel/signal.c.

    It was due to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME addition in commit d0420c83f ("KEYS:
    Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures") and follow-ups.

  • My 353d5c30c666580347515da609dd74a2b8e9b828 "mm: fix hugetlb bug due to
    user_shm_unlock call" broke the CONFIG_SYSVIPC !CONFIG_MMU build of both
    2.6.31 and 2.6.30.6: "undefined reference to `user_shm_unlock'".

    gcc didn't understand my comment! so couldn't figure out to optimize
    away user_shm_unlock() from the error path in the hugetlb-less case, as
    it does elsewhere. Help it to do so, in a language it understands.

  • console_print() is an old legacy interface mostly unused in the entire
    kernel tree. It's best to clean up its existing use and let developers
    use their own implementation of it as they feel fit.

  • Fix a number of problems with the new key garbage collector:

    (1) A rogue semicolon in keyring_gc() was causing the initial count of dead
    keys to be miscalculated.

    (2) A missing return in keyring_gc() meant that under certain circumstances,
    the keyring semaphore would be unlocked twice.

    (3) The key serial tree iterator (key_garbage_collector()) part of the garbage
    collector has been modified to:

    (a) Complete each scan of the keyrings before setting the new timer.

    (b) Only set the new timer for keys that have yet to expire. This means
    that the new timer is now calculated correctly, and the gc doesn't
    get into a loop continually scanning for keys that have expired, and
    preventing other things from happening, like RCU cleaning up the old
    keyring contents.

    (c) Perform an extra scan if any keys were garbage collected in this one
    as a key might become garbage during a scan, and (b) could mean we
    don't set the timer again.

    (4) Made key_schedule_gc() take the time at which to do a collection run,
    rather than the time at which the key expires. This means the collection
    of dead keys (key type unregistered) can happen immediately.

  • When we exit early from keyctl_session_to_parent because of permissions or
    because the session keyring is the same as the parent, we need to unlock the
    tasklist.

    The missing unlock causes the system to hang completely when using
    keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT) with a keyring shared with the parent.
