* cgroups: implement device whitelistSerge E. Hallyn2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup. A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block). 'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r (read), w (write), and m (mknod). The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not also be removed from the child(ren). An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using devices.deny. For instance echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as /dev/null. Doing echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry. CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

* eCryptfs: introduce device handle for userspace daemon communicationsMichael Halcrow2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A regular device file was my real preference from the get-go, but I went with netlink at the time because I thought it would be less complex for managing send queues (i.e., just do a unicast and move on). It turns out that we do not really get that much complexity reduction with netlink, and netlink is more heavyweight than a device handle. In addition, the netlink interface to eCryptfs has been broken since 2.6.24. I am assuming this is a bug in how eCryptfs uses netlink, since the other in-kernel users of netlink do not seem to be having any problems. I have had one report of a user successfully using eCryptfs with netlink on 2.6.24, but for my own systems, when starting the userspace daemon, the initial helo message sent to the eCryptfs kernel module results in an oops right off the bat. I spent some time looking at it, but I have not yet found the cause. The netlink interface breaking gave me the motivation to just finish my patch to migrate to a regular device handle. If I cannot find out soon why the netlink interface in eCryptfs broke, I am likely to just send a patch to disable it in 2.6.24 and 2.6.25. I would like the device handle to be the preferred means of communicating with the userspace daemon from 2.6.26 on forward. This patch: Functions to facilitate reading and writing to the eCryptfs miscellaneous device handle. This will replace the netlink interface as the preferred mechanism for communicating with the userspace eCryptfs daemon. Each user has his own daemon, which registers itself by opening the eCryptfs device handle. Only one daemon per euid may be registered at any given time. The eCryptfs module sends a message to a daemon by adding its message to the daemon's outgoing message queue. The daemon reads the device handle to get the oldest message off the queue. Incoming messages from the userspace daemon are immediately handled. If the message is a response, then the corresponding process that is blocked waiting for the response is awakened.

* vt: fix background color on line feedJan Engelhardt2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active, such as perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' and perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely filled with the currently active background color instead of the default color. When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`). The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

* vfs: fix lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb()Jan Kara2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix longstanding lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb by dropping inode_lock before calling __invalidate_mapping_pages(). We just have to make sure inode won't go away from under us by keeping reference to it and putting the reference only after we have safely resumed the scan of the inode list. A bit tricky but not too bad...

| | | | | | | | | | | Before requesting firmware, printk a message saying what we're requesting.

* update checkpatch.pl to version 0.18Andy Whitcroft2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This version brings a few fixes for the extern checks, and a couple of new checks. Of note: - false is now recognised as a 0 assignment in static/external assignments, - printf format strings including %L are reported, - a number of fixes for the extern in .c file detector which had temporarily lost its ability to detect variables; undetected due to the loss of its test. Andy Whitcroft (8): Version: 0.18 false should trip 0 assignment checks tests: reinstate missing tests tests: allow specification of the file extension for a test fix extern checks for variables check for and report %Lu, %Ld, and %Li ensure we only start a statement on lines with some content extern spacing Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
