  • Needs headers help for current_cred:

    Adding only cred.h wasn't enough.

  • Pass credentials through dentry_open() so that the COW creds patch can have
    SELinux's flush_unauthorized_files() pass the appropriate creds back to itself
    when it opens its null chardev.

    The security_dentry_open() call also now takes a creds pointer, as does the
    dentry_open hook in struct security_operations.

  • * Add path_put() functions for releasing a reference to the dentry and
    vfsmount of a struct path in the right order

    * Switch from path_release(nd) to path_put(&nd->path)

    * Rename dput_path() to path_put_conditional()

  • This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
    reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
    that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

    Together with the other patches of this series
    - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
    pairs
    - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
    struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
    - it reduces the overall code size:

    without patch series:
    text data bss dec hex filename
    5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux

    with patch series:
    text data bss dec hex filename
    5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux

    This patch:

    Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

  • A user can use nfsservctl() to spam the logs.

    This can happen because the arguments to the nfsservctl() system call are
    versioned. This is a good thing. However, when a bad version is detected,
    the kernel prints a message and then returns an error.

  • EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
    does not do the work automatically. That means rewriting memory locations
    atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters. That means we can't
    use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

    This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
    supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

    It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
    before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

  • 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!
