This bug was caught by LTP testcase fchmod06 on Blackfin platform.
In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the
owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not
have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."
But the ramfs nommu code missed the inode_change_ok POSIX UID/GID

enable interrupts in user path of page fault.
This is a minor fix, but what is currently there is essentially wrong.
In do_page_fault, if the faulting address from user code happens to be
in kernel address space (int *p = (int*)-1; p = 0xbed;) then the
do_page_fault handler will jump over the local_irq_enable with the
goto bad_area_nosemaphore;
But the first line there sees this is user code and goes through the
process of sending a signal to send SIGSEGV to the user task. This whole
time interrupts are disabled and the task can not be preempted by a
higher priority task.
This patch always enables interrupts in the user path of the
bad_area_nosemaphore.

xfrm: Add security check before flushing SAD/SPD
Currently we check for permission before deleting entries from SAD and
SPD, (see security_xfrm_policy_delete() security_xfrm_state_delete())
However we are not checking for authorization when flushing the SPD and
the SAD completely. It was perhaps missed in the original security hooks
patch.
This patch adds a security check when flushing entries from the SAD and
SPD. It runs the entire database and checks each entry for a denial.
If the process attempting the flush is unable to remove all of the
entries a denial is logged the the flush function returns an error
without removing anything.
This is particularly useful when a process may need to create or delete
its own xfrm entries used for things like labeled networking but that
same process should not be able to delete other entries or flush the

process B new data is inserted onto the queue by unix_stream_sendmsg()

I'm surprised nobody noticed this, it's not hard to trigger. Maybe

The workaround is to disable the periodic statistics DMA. Instead,
we manually trigger the DMA once a second in bnx2_timer(). This

So, now we have pata_via where the controller raises IRQ before it's

makes libata always execute SETXFER via polling. As this only happens
during EH, performance impact is nil. Setting ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is
also moved from issue hot path to ata_dev_set_xfermode() - the only

Note that ATA_TFLAG_POLLING applies only to drivers which implement

vanishing ioctl handler debugging
We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl(). I
assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while
this CPU waits for the lock_kernel().
The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead
us to the culprit.

SPI dynamic busid generation bugfix
Fix SPI dynamic bus ID assignment to start at 2^15-1 rather than a negative
number. Valid bus ids are supposed to be positive, and are (now) stored in
an 's16' value.

Input: reduce raciness when input handlers disconnect
There is a race between input handler's release() and disconnect()
methods: when input handler disconnects it wakes up all regular
users and then process to walk user list to wake up async. users.
While disconnect() walks the list release() removes elements of
the same list causing oopses.
While this is not a substibute for proper locking we can reduce
odds of getting an oops if we wake up normal readers after walking
the list.
