  • c7afb0f97   [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix memory leak in POSIX-ACL support ... Browse Code »

    jffs2_clear_acl() which releases acl caches allocated by kmalloc()
    was defined but it was never called. Thus, we faced to the risk
    of memory leaking.

    This patch plugs jffs2_clear_acl() into jffs2_do_clear_inode().
    It ensures to release acl cache when inode is cleared.

  • c6e8c6ccf   [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix xd->refcnt race condition ... Browse Code »

    When xd->refcnt is checked whether this xdatum should be released
    or not, atomic_dec_and_lock() is used to ensure holding the
    c->erase_completion_lock.

    This fix change a specification of delete_xattr_datum().
    Previously, it's only called when xd->refcnt equals zero.
    (calling it with positive xd->refcnt cause a BUG())
    If you applied this patch, the function checks whether
    xd->refcnt is zero or not under the spinlock if necessary.
    Then, it marks xd DEAD flahs and links with xattr_dead_list
    or releases it immediately when xd->refcnt become zero.

    Add missed ufsi->i_dir_start_lookup initialization in ufs_read_inode in
    UFS2 case. Also it cleans ufs_read_inode function to prevent such kind of
    situation in the future: it move depend on UFS type parts of code into
    separate functions and leaves in ufs_read_inode only generic code. It
    cleans code and avoids duplication.

    locking init cleanups:

    - convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
    - convert rwlocks in a similar manner

    this patch was generated automatically.

    Motivation:

    - cleanliness
    - lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
    variants do not give
    - it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general

  • e6e5494cb   [PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma ... Browse Code »

    Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.

    Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
    can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
    single-stepping and other debugging features.

    It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
    high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
    get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
    slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
    VDSO).

    There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
    for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer
    distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning
    it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
    predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.

    There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
    /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
    on/off.

    (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
    coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)

    This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
    code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
    started this patch and i completed it.

  • 266bee886   [PATCH] fix static linking of NFS ... Browse Code »

    Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like
    statically linked NFS (for nfsroot). The symptom is that __init
    section code references __exit section code; that won't work since
    the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called).

    The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit"
    section annotation.
