This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them to sys_ni_syscall(). It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software, as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers see the file. This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release (by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall. I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward. Three choices: Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next cycle). This is number 3.

Commit 861b4ea4 broke oldnoconfig when removed the oldnoconfig checks on if (input_mode == nonint_oldconfig || input_mode == oldnoconfig) { if (input_mode == nonint_oldconfig && sym->name && !sym_is_choice_value(sym)) { to avoid oldnoconfig chugging through the else stanza. Fix that to restore expected behaviour (which I've confirmed in the Fedora kernel build that the configs end up looking the same.)

setup.phone and setup.eazmsn are 32 character buffers. rcvmsg.msg_data.byte_array is a 48 character buffer. sc_adapter[card]->channel[rcvmsg.phy_link_no - 1].dn is 50 chars. The rcvmsg struct comes from the memcpy_fromio() in receivemessage(). I guess that means it's data off the wire. I'm not very familiar with this code but I don't see any reason to assume these strings are NULL terminated. Also it's weird that "dn" in a 50 character buffer but we only seem to use 32 characters. In drivers/isdn/sc/scioc.h, "dn" is only a 49 character buffer. So potentially there is still an issue there. The important thing for now is to prevent the memory corruption.

The i915 driver has quite a few module unload bugs, the known ones at least have fixes that are targeting 2.6.37. However, in order to maintain a stable kernel, we should prevent this known random memory corruption following driver unload. This should have very low impact on normal users who are unlikely to need to unload the i915 driver.

When proc_doulongvec_minmax() is used with an array of longs, and no min/max check requested (.extra1 or .extra2 being NULL), we dereference a NULL pointer for the second element of the array. Noticed while doing some changes in network stack for the "16TB problem" Fix is to not change min & max pointers in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(), so that all elements of the vector share an unique min/max limit, like proc_dointvec_minmax().
