* udf: decrement correct link count in udf_rmdirStephen Mollett2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that a minor thinko occurred in udf_rmdir and the (already-cleared) link count on the directory that is being removed was being decremented instead of the link count on its parent directory. This gives rise to lots of kernel messages similar to: UDF-fs warning (device loop1): udf_rmdir: empty directory has nlink != 2 (8) when removing directory trees. No other ill effects have been observed but I guess it could theoretically result in the link count overflowing on a very long-lived, much modified directory.

* Move LOG_BUF_SHIFT to a more sensible placeAlistair John Strachan2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several people have observed that perhaps LOG_BUF_SHIFT should be in a more obvious place than under DEBUG_KERNEL. Under some circumstances (such as the PARISC architecture), DEBUG_KERNEL can increase kernel size, which is an undesirable trade off for something as trivial as increasing the kernel log buffer size. Instead, move LOG_BUF_SHIFT into "General Setup", so that people are more likely to be able to change it such a circumstance that the default buffer size is insufficient.

* tpm: fix sleep-in-spinlockParag Warudkar2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_scheduled_work() can sleep, and we're calling it under spinlock. AFAICS, moving flush_scheduled_work before spin_lock() should not cause any problems. Reason being - The only thing that can race against tpm_release is tpm_open (tpm_release is called when last reference to the file is closed and only thing that can happen after that is tpm_open??) and tpm_open acquires driver_lock and more over it bails out with EBUSY if chip->num_opens is greater than 0. I also moved chip->num_pending-- to after deleting timer and setting data pending as it looks more correct for the paranoid although it probably doesn't matter as it is guarded by driver_lock. None the less this change should not cause problems. While I was at it I noticed a missing NULL check in tpm_register_hardware which is fixed with this patch as well.

* console UTF-8 fixesEgmont Koblinger2007-05-08

However if this one is not found either, here's what the current kernel does: - First, if the Unicode value is less than the number of glyphs, use the glyph directly from that position of the glyph table. While it may be a good idea in the 8-bit world, it has absolutely no sense with Unicode in mind. For example, if a Latin-2 font is loaded and an application prints U+00FB ("u with circumflex", not present in Latin-2) then as a fallback solution the glyph from the 0xFB position of the Latin-2 fontset (which is an "u with double accent" - a different character) is displayed. - Second, if this fallback fails too, a simple ASCII question mark is printed, which is visually undistinguishable from a real question mark. I changed the code to skip the first step (except if in non-UTF-8 mode), and changed the second step to print the question mark with inverse color attributes, so it is visually clear that it's not a real question mark, and resembles more to the common glyph of U+FFFD. 2) The UTF-8 decoder is buggy in many ways: - Lone continuation bytes (section 3.1 of Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 stress test) are not caught, they are displayed as some "random" (taken directly form the font table, see above) glyphs instead the replacement character. - Incomplete sequences (sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the stress test) emit no replacement character, but rather cause the subsequent valid character to be displayed more times(!). - The decoder is not safe: overlong sequences are not caught currently, they are displayed as if these were valid representations. This may even have security impacts. - The decoder does not handle D800..DFFF and FFFE..FFFF specially, it just emits these code points and lets it be looked up in the glyph table. Since these are invalid code points, I replace them by U+FFFD and hence give no chance for them to be looked up in the glyph table. (Assuming no font ships glyphs for these code points, this change is not visible to the users since the glyph shown will be the same.) With my fixes to the decoder it now behaves exactly as Markus Kuhn's stress test recommends. 3) It has no concept of double-width (CJK) characters. It's way beyond the scope of my patch to try to display them, but at least I think it's important for the cursor to jump two positions when printing such characters, since this is what applications (such as text editors) expect. Currently the cursor only jumps one position, and hence applications suffer from displaying and refreshing problems, and editing some English letters that are preceded by some CJK characters in the same line is a nightmare. With my patch an additional space is inserted after the CJK character has been printed (which usually means a replacement symbol of course). (If U+FFFD isn't availble and hence an inverse question mark is displayed in the first cell, I keep the inverted state for the space in the 2nd column so it's quite easy to see that they are tied together.) 4) There is a small built-in table of zero-width spaces that are not to be printed but silently skipped. U+200A is included there, but it's not a zero-width character, so I remove it from there.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A patch that stores inode flags such as S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. from i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when inode is written to disk. The same thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl. Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly propagated into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and users were wondering...). Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc. from i_flags into ext3-specific i_flags. Hence, when someone sets these flags via a different interface than ioctl, they are stored correctly.

* CPU time limit patch / setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, 0) cheat fixTom Alsberg2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discovered here today, the change in Kernel 2.6.17 intended to inhibit users from setting RLIMIT_CPU to 0 (as that is equivalent to unlimited) by "cheating" and setting it to 1 in such a case, does not make a difference, as the check is done in the wrong place (too late), and only applies to the profiling code. On all systems I checked running kernels above 2.6.17, no matter what the hard and soft CPU time limits were before, a user could escape them by issuing in the shell (sh/bash/zsh) "ulimit -t 0", and then the user's process was not ever killed. Attached is a trivial patch to fix that. Simply moving the check to a slightly earlier location (specifically, before the line that actually assigns the limit - *old_rlim = new_rlim), does the trick. Do note that at least the zsh (but not ash, dash, or bash) shell has the problem of "caching" the limits set by the ulimit command, so when running zsh the fix will not immediately be evident - after entering "ulimit -t 0", "ulimit -a" will show "-t: cpu time (seconds) 0", even though the actual limit as returned by getrlimit(...) will be 1. It can be verified by opening a subshell (which will not have the values of the parent shell in cache) and checking in it, or just by running a CPU intensive command like "echo '65536^1048576' | bc" and verifying that it dumps core after one second. Regardless of whether that is a misfeature in the shell, perhaps it would be better to return -EINVAL from setrlimit in such a case instead of cheating and setting to 1, as that does not really reflect the actual state of the process anymore. I do not however know what the ground for that decision was in the original 2.6.17 change, and whether there would be any "backward" compatibility issues, so I preferred not to touch that right now.

* serial_txx9: Use assigned device numbersAtsushi Nemoto2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The serial_txx9 driver have abused device numbers (major 4, minor 128) if CONFIG_SERIAL_TXX9_STDSERIAL was not set. This patch makes the driver use proper device numbers assigned for it (major 204, minor 196-203). I suppose a typical user of this driver set CONFIG_SERIAL_TXX9_STDSERIAL to Y (i.e. use "ttyS0"), so this patch would not cause big compatibility issue.

* Document SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED deprecationMichael Ellerman2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently it's not cool anymore to use SPIN/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED. There's some mention of this in Documentation/spinlocks.txt, but that only talks about dynamic initialisation. A comment in the code mentioning the preferred usage would be good IMHO.

* Introduce a handy list_first_entry macroPavel Emelianov2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are many places in the kernel where the construction like foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list); are used. The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro list_first_entry(head, type, member) \ list_entry((head)->next, type, member) Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code. If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* highres/dyntick: prevent xtime lock contentionThomas Gleixner2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the !highres/!dyntick code assigns the duty of the do_timer() call to one specific CPU, this was dropped in the highres/dyntick part during development. Steven Rostedt discovered the xtime lock contention on highres/dyntick due to several CPUs trying to update jiffies. Add the single CPU assignement back. In the dyntick case this needs to be handled carefully, as the CPU which has the do_timer() duty must drop the assignement and let it be grabbed by another CPU, which is active. Otherwise the do_timer() calls would not happen during the long sleep.
