ia64 SGI-SN2: fix silent data corruption caused by XPC
Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the
xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are
done to the start virtual address translated to physical.
This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have
tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
this if a similar situation is encountered.

402: R_390_PC32DBL _spin_lock+0x2
As a general note, this code of unqueue_me seems a bit fishy. The retry logic
of unqueue_me only works if we can guarantee, that the original value of
q->lock_ptr is always a spinlock (Otherwise we overwrite kernel memory). We
know that q->lock_ptr can change. I dont know what happens with the original
spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

SCTP: Fix persistent slowdown in sctp when a gap ack consumes rx buffer.
In the event that our entire receive buffer is full with a series of
chunks that represent a single gap-ack, and then we accept a chunk
(or chunks) that fill in the gap between the ctsn and the first gap,
we renege chunks from the end of the buffer, which effectively does
nothing but move our gap to the end of our received tsn stream. This
does little but move our missing tsns down stream a little, and, if the
sender is sending sufficiently large retransmit frames, the result is a
perpetual slowdown which can never be recovered from, since the only
chunk that can be accepted to allow progress in the tsn stream necessitates
that a new gap be created to make room for it. This leads to a constant
need for retransmits, and subsequent receiver stalls. The fix I've come up
with is to deliver the frame without reneging if we have a full receive
buffer and the receiving sockets sk_receive_queue is empty(indicating that
the receive buffer is being blocked by a missing tsn).

on my Compaq Presario X1050 laptop:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6075
Essentially the ACPI Embedded Controller and keyboard controller would
get into a bizarre, confused state after resume.
I found that unloading the ohci1394 module before suspend and reloading it
after resume made the problem go away. Diffing the dmesg output from
resume, with and without the module loaded, I found that with the module
loaded I was missing these:

The default PCI driver performs the pci_restore_state when no driver is
loaded for the device. When the ohci1394 driver is loaded, it is supposed
to do this, however it appears not to do so.
I created the patch below and tested it, and it appears to resolve the
suspend problems I was having with the module loaded. I only added in the
pci_save_state and pci_restore_state - however, though I know little of
this hardware, surely the driver should really be doing more than this when
suspending and resuming? Currently it does almost nothing, what if there

We have a bad interaction with both the kernel and user space being able
to change some of the /proc file status. This fixes the most obvious
part of it, but I expect we'll also make it harder for users to modify
even their "own" files in /proc.
fix prctl privilege escalation and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451)
Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides
During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core
dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a
core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have
permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk
consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.

[PATCH] NETFILTER: SCTP conntrack: fix crash triggered by packet without chunks [CVE-2006-2934]
When a packet without any chunks is received, the newconntrack variable

in a crash. Make sure at least a single chunk is present.

[PATCH] JFS: Fix multiple errors in metapage_releasepage
It looks like metapage_releasepage was making in invalid assumption that
the releasepage method would not be called on a dirty page. Instead of
issuing a warning and releasing the metapage, it should return 0, indicating
that the private data for the page cannot be released.
I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong. If
it is successful in releasing the private data, it should return 1, otherwise
it needs to return 0.
Lastly, there is no need to call wait_on_page_writeback, since
try_to_release_page will not call us with a page in writback state.

[PATCH] tmpfs: time granularity fix for [acm]time going backwards
I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while
building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to
rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs.
A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp.
However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they
were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL)
was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards.
After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a
time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity.
Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11.
Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems,
does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super. A few more such
discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now.

[PATCH] Missed error checking for intent's filp in open_namei().
It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned
through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp).
If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside
__path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open
is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only
called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet.
Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and
intent.open.file may be filled. If it is filled with error value of some
sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as
address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from
filp_open().
While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just
checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as
needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return
"yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup
again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with
potential extra costly RPCs).
So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling
for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this
simple patch as a solution.

[PATCH] SPARC64: Respect gfp_t argument to dma_alloc_coherent().
Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing
the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument
of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored.
Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t
argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA
implementation of pci_alloc_coherent().
This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver
layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these
routines and (correctly) expects that to work.
This is a disk eater when sound is used, so it's pretty critical.
