Currently, when calling nfs_commit_file(), we check the range argument, and only commit NFS write requests that fall within the given range. This is silly, since all servers use fsync(), to honour a COMMIT call, and so will sync all pending writes to stable storage. The following patch ensures that if at least one NFS write falls within the range specified by the call to nfs_commit_file(), then we commit all outstanding writes on that file. This fixes a sometimes severe inefficiency when combining reads and writes: nfs_wb_page() is used to clear out writes prior to scheduling a read(), and can end up calling COMMIT for each page to be read.

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> If users set the execute bit on a file, and then write to it, remove_suid() causes a flood of SETATTR calls (one per write() syscall) with no arguments to be sent down the wire. The server will in any case clear the suid bit itself without any prompting from us, so the following patch simply filters away all SETATTR requests with empty or unsupported ia_valid fields.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch implements two new access controls for SELinux: SEND_MSG and RECV_MSG, providing mediation of network packets based on destination port (IPv4 only at this stage).

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch is a rework of the skb audit logging code in SELinux. Rather than relying on skb header pointers, it parses the skb for specific protocols (TCP and UDP for IPv4 at this stage). This is safer for the case of locally generated raw packets, which can be malformed. It also now takes fragmented skbs into account. The new code allows the caller to parse the skb so that parsed information can be more readily re-used.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds dname to audit output when a path cannot be generated. This makes analysis of SELinux audit logs easier. Patch by Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds a new option for Unix sockets, SO_PEERSEC, and an associated LSM hook, getpeersec. The SELinux handler is also included. The purpose of this is to allow applications to obtain each others security credentials, analagously to the existing SO_PEERCRED option. Examples of use are Security Enhanced D-BUS and Security Enhanced X. This patch was previously approved in principle by David, and has been updated with feedback from Chris Wright and extended to cover all architectures.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This is a cleanup for the SELinux code, which converts all remaining appropriate socket hooks over to using socket_has_perm().

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds a new SELinux access control, node_bind, which can be used to restrict the local IP address to which an application may bind.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds 'node' access controls for SELinux, which allows network traffic to be controlled on the basis of remote address. Like the previous patch, similar functionality was present in earlier SELinux implementations; this is a rework within the constraints of the LSM hooks present in the mainline kernel.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds netif access controls for SELinux, which allows network traffic to be controlled on the basis of associated network interface. Similar functionality was present in earlier SELinux implementations; this is a rework within the constraints of the LSM hooks present in the mainline kernel.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds controls to the SELinux module over the setting and inheritance of resource limits. With these controls, the ability to set hard limits can be limited to specific processes such as login, and when an untrusted process invokes a more trusted program, soft limits can be reset, thereby avoiding failures in the trusted program due to malicious setting of the soft limit by the untrusted process. Roland McGrath provided input and feedback on the patch, which was implemented by Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>.

From: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org> Yet another sound/oss/trident cleanup patch. This one replace the TRDBG debugging macro with the standard pr_debug. Patch is from Eugene Teo <eugene.teo@eugeneteo.net>, slightly modified by me to apply against 2.6.0-rc1-mm1 with the other cleanup patches applied.

From: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org> - switch lock_set_fmt() and unlock_set_fmt() from macros to inline functions. Macros that call return() are EVIL. - simplify lock_set_fmt() and implement it via test_and_set_bit() rather than a spinlock protecting an int. - fix a bug wherein we would do an up() on a semaphore that hasn't been down()ed if a signal happened after timeout in trident_write(). - fix a bug where we would not release the open_sem on OOM. - make the arguments for prog_dmabuf clearer (int -> enum), and add two wrapper functions around it, one for record and one for playback. - fix a bug where we would call VALIDATE_STATE after lock_kernel(). Since VALIDATE_STATE does 'return' if validation fails, bad things can happen. Thanks to Dawson Engler <engler@stanford.edu> and the Stanford checker for spotting. - remove the calls to lock_kernel() from trident_release() and trident_mmap(). trident_release() appears to be covered by the open_sem, and trident_mmap() is covered by state->sem. - s/TRUE/1/, s/FALSE/0/

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Generate a global printk rate-limiting function, printk_ratelimit(). Also, use it in the page allocator warning code. Also add a dump_stack to that code. Later, we need to switch net_ratelimit() over to use printk_ratelimit().
