  • 86313c488   usermodehelper: Tidy up waiting ... Browse Code »

    Rather than using a tri-state integer for the wait flag in
    call_usermodehelper_exec, define a proper enum, and use that. I've
    preserved the integer values so that any callers I've missed should
    still work OK.

  • 0ab4dc922   usermodehelper: split setup from execution ... Browse Code »

    Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for
    various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the
    info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution.

    This means the general pattern becomes:
    info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */
    call_usermodehelper_(info, stuff...); /* extra state */
    call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait); /* run process and free info */

    This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
    call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.

  • c353c3fb0   Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-uevent ... Browse Code »

    On recent systems, calls to /sbin/modprobe are handled by udev depending
    on the kind of device the kernel has discovered. This patch creates an
    uevent for the kernels internal request_module(), to let udev take control
    over the request, instead of forking the binary directly by the kernel.
    The direct execution of /sbin/modprobe can be disabled by setting:
    /sys/module/kmod/mod_request_helper (/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe)
    to an empty string, the same way /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is disabled on an
    udev system.

  • e239ca540   [PATCH] Create call_usermodehelper_pipe() ... Browse Code »

    A new member in the ever growing family of call_usermode* functions is
    born. The new call_usermodehelper_pipe() function allows to pipe data to
    the stdin of the called user mode progam and behaves otherwise like the
    normal call_usermodehelp() (except that it always waits for the child to
    finish)

  • 7888e7ff4   [PATCH] Keys: Pass session keyring to call_usermodehelper() ... Browse Code »

    The attached patch makes it possible to pass a session keyring through to the
    process spawned by call_usermodehelper(). This allows patch 3/3 to pass an
    authorisation key through to /sbin/request-key, thus permitting better access
    controls when doing just-in-time key creation.

    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!
