  • 5cf8cf414   Fix FREEZE/THAW compat_ioctl regression ... Browse Code »

    Commit 8e961870bb9804110d5c8211d5d9d500451c4518 removed the FREEZE/THAW
    handling in xfs_compat_ioctl but never added any compat handler back, so
    now any freeze/thaw request from a 32-bit binary ond 64-bit userspace
    will fail.

    As these ioctls are 32/64-bit compatible two simple COMPATIBLE_IOCTL
    entries in fs/compat_ioctl.c will do the job.

  • 33dccbb05   tun: Limit amount of queued packets per device ... Browse Code »

    Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does
    not have any accounting. This means that the user-space sender
    may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by
    continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested.

    Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at
    most end points, this can also be a problem because its only
    response to congestion is packet loss. That is, when those
    local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will
    start wasting system time because it will continue to send
    data there which simply gets dropped straight away.

    Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion
    control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world
    still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away
    anywhere fast. In fact, we've always helped them by performing
    accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to
    provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss.

    This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device.
    It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our
    packets just as a normal socket does for UDP. Of course things
    are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic
    back into the stack rather than out of the stack.

    The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding
    patches. So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w.

    For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for
    backwards compatibility. In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX.
    This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the
    sudden arrival EAGAIN errors.

    In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

    The ioctls AUTOFS_IOC_TOGGLEREGHOST and AUTOFS_IOC_ASKREGHOST were added
    several years ago but what they were intended for has never been
    implemented (as far as I'm aware noone uses them) so remove them.

  • 40be492fe   [Bluetooth] Export details about authentication requirements ... Browse Code »

    With the Simple Pairing support, the authentication requirements are
    an explicit setting during the bonding process. Track and enforce the
    requirements and allow higher layers like L2CAP and RFCOMM to increase
    them if needed.

    This patch introduces a new IOCTL that allows to query the current
    authentication requirements. It is also possible to detect Simple
    Pairing support in the kernel this way.

  • f34d7a5b7   tty: The big operations rework ... Browse Code »

    - Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
    objects

    - Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

    - Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

    - Document which functions are needed/optional

    - Make put_char report success/fail

    - Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

    - Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

    - Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

    - Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
    combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

  • deb21db77   VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl names ... Browse Code »

    Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly
    indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules;
    therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name. The new do_ioctl
    is exported in fs.h but not to modules.

    Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should
    preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as
    many other vfs_XXX functions already do. Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL
    modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs). Add DocBook
    for new vfs_ioctl.

  • 3fee37c1e   fix: using joysticks in 32 bit applications on 64 bit systems ... Browse Code »

    unfortunately 32 bit apps don't see the joysticks on a 64 bit system.
    this prevents one playing X-Plane (http://www.x-plane.com/) or other
    32-bit games with joysticks.

    this is a known issue, and already raised several times:

    http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/28/144411.html

    http://www.brettcsmith.org/wiki/wiki.cgi?action=browse&diff=1&id=OzyComputer/Joystick

    unfortunately this is still not fixed in the mainline kernel.

    it would be nice to have this fixed, so that people can play these games
    without having to patch their kernel.

    the following patch solves the problem on 2.6.22.
