[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: fix incorrect classification of IPv6 fragments as ESTABLISHED The individual fragments of a packet reassembled by conntrack have the conntrack reference from the reassembled packet attached, but nfctinfo is not copied. This leaves it initialized to 0, which unfortunately is the value of IP_CT_ESTABLISHED. The result is that all IPv6 fragments are tracked as ESTABLISHED, allowing them to bypass a usual ruleset which accepts ESTABLISHED packets early. Signed-off-by:

[NETFILTER]: conntrack: fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup endless loops Fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup unconfirmed list handling: - unconfirmed entries can not be killed manually, they are removed on confirmation or final destruction of the conntrack entry, which means we might iterate forever without making forward progress. This can happen in combination with the conntrack event cache, which holds a reference to the conntrack entry, which is only released when the packet makes it all the way through the stack or a different packet is handled. - taking references to an unconfirmed entry and using it outside the locked section doesn't work, the list entries are not refcounted and another CPU might already be waiting to destroy the entry What the code really wants to do is make sure the references of the hash table to the selected conntrack entries are released, so they will be destroyed once all references from skbs and the event cache are dropped. Since unconfirmed entries haven't even entered the hash yet, simply mark them as dying and skip confirmation based on that. Signed-off-by:

Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance of continuing even though we dropped an irq message. If we continue to simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to become non-responsive shortly there after. AK: Fixed compilation for UP kernels Signed-off-by:

Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com> When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device. A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

CT based mach64 cards were reported to hang on sparc64 boxes when compiled with gcc-4.1.x and later. Looking at this piece of code, it's no surprise. A critical delay was implemented as an empty for() loop, and gcc 4.0.x and previous did not optimize it away, so we did get a delay. But gcc-4.1.x and later can optimize it away, and we get crashes. Use a real udelay() to fix this. Fix verified on SunBlade100. Signed-off-by:

throttle_vm_writeout() is designed to wait for the dirty levels to subside. But if the caller holds IO or FS locks, we might be holding up that writeout.

lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places outside __init code. This causes following warnings: $ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_reset_lock after 'lockdep_reset_lock' (at offset 0x35) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2) The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not altered. Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which seems obviously wrong. Signed-off-by:

unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without ensuring that the critical section is closed. Mingming later sent the same patch, saying: We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in ext3_xattr_release_block()). The problem could also been triggered by multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree. The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update. That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that we have seen. Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is cleared. On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered. The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1, cpu 0: cpu1

kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k. Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h, linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in a C file as the only simple solution.

__unmap_hugepage_range() is buggy that it does not preserve dirty state of huge_pte when unmapping hugepage range. It causes data corruption in the event of dop_caches being used by sys admin. For example, an application creates a hugetlb file, modify pages, then unmap it. While leaving the hugetlb file alive, comes along sys admin doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". drop_pagecache_sb() will happily free all pages that aren't marked dirty if there are no active mapping. Later when application remaps the hugetlb file back and all data are gone, triggering catastrophic flip over on application. Not only that, the internal resv_huge_pages count will also get all messed up. Fix it up by marking page dirty appropriately. Signed-off-by:

This is a fix of regression, which triggered by ~2.6.16. Patch with name ufs-directory-and-page-cache-from-blocks-to-pages.patch: in additional to conversation from block to page cache mechanism added new checks of directory integrity, one of them that directory entry do not across directory chunks. But some kinds of UFS: OpenStep UFS and Apple UFS (looks like these are the same filesystems) have different directory chunk size, then common UFSes(BSD and Solaris UFS). So this patch adds ability to works with variable size of directory chunks, and set it for ufstype=openstep to right size. Tested on darwin ufs. Signed-off-by:

Revert "[PATCH] LOG2: Alter get_order() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant" This reverts commit 39d61db0. The commit was buggy in multiple ways: - the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with - it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd never see the bug except for constant arguments. - the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and didn't even parenthesize them properly - despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the generic page.h header file. All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to: better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.
