2007-07-31spi device setup gets better error checkingDavid Brownell
This updates some error reporting paths in SPI device setup: - Move validation logic for SPI chipselects to spi_new_device(), which is where it should always have been. - In spi_new_device(), emit error messages if the device can't be created. This is LOTS better than a silent failure; though eventually, the calling convention should probably change to use the <linux/err.h> conventions. - Includes one previously-missing check: SPI masters must always have at least one chipselect, even for dedicated busses which always keep it selected! It also adds a FIXME (IDR for dynamic ID allocation) so the issue doesn't live purely in my mailbox.

2007-07-31fix integer overflow warning in i2o_blockMeelis Roos
drivers/message/i2o/i2o_block.c: In function 'i2o_block_transfer': drivers/message/i2o/i2o_block.c:837: warning: integer overflow in expression msg->u.head[1] = cpu_to_le32(I2O_CMD_PRIVATE << 24 | HOST_TID << 12 | tid); and I2O_CMD_PRIVATE is defined as 0xFF. This gets "0xFF0100 | tid" and fits into 32-bit unsigned but not into 32-bit signed integer properly. Target value is defined as u32 so the claculation does not fit during computation. Change local variable tid to u32 so the whole expression is of u32 type and fits well into u32 result.

2007-07-31UDF: fix UID and GID mount option ignoranceCyrill Gorcunov
This patch fix weird behaviour of UDF mounting procedure. To get UID changed (for now) we have to type mount -t udf -o uid=some_user,uid=ignore /dev/device /mnt/moun_point and specifying two uid at once is strange a bit. So with the patch we are able to mount without additional 'uid=ignore' option. The same for GID option is done. This patch will not break current mount scheme (with two option).

2007-07-31Fix a use after free bug in kernel->userspace relay file supportJesper Juhl
Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable after it has been freed. The problem is in kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf() If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code : free_buf: relay_destroy_buf(buf); <--- calls kfree() on 'buf'. free_name: kfree(tmpname); end: return buf; <-- use after free of 'buf'. I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to me). The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the problem. The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while I was at it. Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.

2007-07-31kthread: silence bogus section mismatch warningSatyam Sharma
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x16910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'kthreadd' and 'init_waitqueue_head') comes because kernel/kthread.c:kthreadd() is not __init but calls kthreadd_setup() which is __init. But this is ok, because kthreadd_setup() is only ever called at init time, and then kthreadd() proceeds into its "for (;;)" loop. We could mark kthreadd __init_refok, but kthreadd_setup() with just one callsite and 4 lines in it (it's been that small since 10ab825bdef8df51) doesn't need to be a separate function at all -- so let's just move those four lines at beginning of kthreadd() itself.

2007-07-31ipmi: Fix mem leak in try_init_dmi()Jesper Juhl
This is only called at init time and only happens if the BIOS screws something up, so the leak is slight and it is probably not worth sending to 2.6.22.x. The driver would not initialize the interface in the case, and I have no reports of this happening. I have booted and run tests on a system with this patch. Note that the original patch was munged by the mailer, here's a new one. If we ever hit the "default:" case in the switch in try_init_dmi(), then we'll leak the storage allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'info'.

Unfortunately, it doesn't wait for the abort to complete before restarting it which creates a race between the abort and the restart.

2007-07-31isofs: mounting to regular file may succeedKirill Kuvaldin
It turned out that mounting a corrupted ISO image to a regular file may succeed, e.g. if an image was prepared as follows: $ dd if=correct.iso of=bad.iso bs=4k count=8 We then can mount it to a regular file: # mount -o loop -t iso9660 bad.iso /tmp/file But mounting it to a directory fails with -ENOTDIR, simply because the root directory inode doesn't have S_IFDIR set and the condition in graft_tree() is met: if (S_ISDIR(nd->dentry->d_inode->i_mode) != S_ISDIR(mnt->mnt_root->d_inode->i_mode)) return -ENOTDIR This is because the root directory inode was read from an incorrect block. It's supposed to be read from sbi->s_firstdatazone, which is an absolute value and gets messed up in the case of an incorrect image. In order to somehow circumvent this we have to check that the root directory inode is actually a directory after all.

2007-07-31Fix user struct leakage with locked IPC shem segmentPavel Emelianov
When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the segment is already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the subsequent code leaks the existing user struct: == ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() == ... err = shmem_lock(shp->shm_file, 1, user); if (!err) { shp->shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED; shp->mlock_user = user; } ... == Other results of this are: 1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed memory when the task dies. 2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs. The exploit looks like this: == id = shmget(...); setresuid(uid, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); setresuid(uid + 1, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); == My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the segment's user.

2007-07-31kbuild: whitelist references from __dbe_table to .initRalf Baechle
This is needed on MIPS where the same mechanism as get_user() is used to intercept bus error exceptions for some hardware probes. Without this patch modpost will throw spurious warnings: LD vmlinux SYSMAP System.map SYSMAP .tmp_System.map MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: arch/mips/sgi-ip22/built-in.o(__dbe_table+0x0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
