  • 7da6844cf   [PATCH] cdev: cdev_put oops ... Browse Code »

    While fixing an oops in the st driver in a dirty release path, I
    encountered an oops in cdev_put for cdevs allocated using cdev_alloc. If
    cdev_del is called when the cdev kobject still has an open user, when the
    last cdev_put is called, the cdev_put will call kobject_put, which will end
    up ultimately releasing the cdev in cdev_dynamic_release. Patch fixes the
    oops by preventing cdev_put from accessing freed memory.

    Patch to add check to get_chrdev_list and get_blkdev_list to prevent reads
    of /proc/devices from spilling over the provided page if more than 4096
    bytes of string data are generated from all the registered character and
    block devices in a system

  • 1d4d5b325   [PATCH] revert fs/char_dev.c CONFIG_BASE_FULL change ... Browse Code »

    This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3.

    The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has
    a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which
    fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev()
    calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole
    subsystems from working.

    A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better
    scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend
    time on just now.

    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!
