I was happy to discover the brand new IS_ALIGN macro and quickly used it in my code. To my dismay I found that the generated code used division to perform the test. This patch fixes it by changing the % test to an &. This avoids the division. Signed-off-by:

The clean up procedure now uses platform device "release" callback to handle memory clean up. For this purpose "release" function callback was added to struct tpm_vendor_specific, so hw device driver provider can get called when it is safe to remove all allocated resources. This is supposed to fix a bug in device removal, where device while in receive function (waiting on timeout) was prone to segfault, if the tpm_chip struct was unallocated before the timeout expired (in tpm_remove_hardware).

Stop using unsigned _longs_ for printk buffer indexes. Log buffer is way smaller than 2 gigabytes and unsigned ints will work too . Indeed, they do work nicely on all 32-bit platforms where longs and ints are the same.

I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code. Version: 2.6.24-rc2, File: kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432 -------------------------------------------------------------------- static ssize_t sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf) { struct clocksource *src; char *curr = buf; spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock); list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) { curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name); } spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock); curr += sprintf(curr, "\n"); return curr - buf; } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE. I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel (Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt) Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources() buffer overflow problem with snprintf().

smb_receive calls kernel_recvmsg with a size that's the minimum of the amount of buffer space in the kvec passed in or req->rq_rlen (which represents the length of the response). This does not take into account any data that was read in a request earlier pass through smb_receive. If the first pass through smb_receive receives some but not all of the response, then the next pass can call kernel_recvmsg with a size field that's too big. kernel_recvmsg can overrun into the next response, throwing off the alignment and making it unrecognizable. This causes messages like this to pop up in the ring buffer: smb_get_length: Invalid NBT packet, code=69 as well as other errors indicating that the response is unrecognizable. Typically this is seen on a smbfs mount under heavy I/O. This patch changes the code to use (req->rq_rlen - req->rq_bytes_recvd) instead instead of just req->rq_rlen, since that should represent the amount of unread data in the response. I think this is correct, but an ACK or NACK from someone more familiar with this code would be appreciated... Signed-off-by:

Some time ago ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/19/128 ) I wrote about MNT_UNBINDABLE that it felt like a bug that it is not reset by "mount --make-private". Today I happened to see mount(8) and Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt and both document the version obtained by applying the little patch given in the above (and again below). So, the present kernel code is not according to specs and must be regarded as buggy. Specification in Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt: See state diagram: unbindable should become private upon make-private. Specification in mount(8): ... It's also possible to set up uni-directional propagation (with --make- slave), to make a mount point unavailable for --bind/--rbind (with --make-unbindable), and to undo any of these (with --make-private). Repeat of old fix-shared-subtrees-make-private.patch (due to Dirk Gerrits, René Gabriëls, Peter Kooijmans): Acked-by:

This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct. In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them. In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by 'mount -oloop'. That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the 'stateless' folks get happier... and OLPC trac #356 can be closed. The mount(8) side of that is at http://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=119362955431694&w=2 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

DMI autoload dcdbas on all Dell systems. This looks for BIOS Vendor or System Vendor == Dell, so this should work for systems both Dell-branded and those Dell builds but brands for others. It causes udev to load the dcdbas module at startup, which is used by tools called by HAL for wireless control and backlight control, among other uses.

I would like to potentially move the sparc64 IOMMU code over to using the nice new drivers/pci/iova.[ch] code for free area management.. In order to do that we have to detach the IOMMU page size assumptions which only really need to exist in the intel-iommu.[ch] code. This patch attempts to implement that.

In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check. But ipc_lock may return a errcode. The use of this errcode in container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this. And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct kern_ipc_per'... Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the errcode isn't changed then. But in the general case, we can't count on this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct this. Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct. But, as pointed by Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal... Signed-off-by:
