[PATCH] netem: duplication fix

2005-06-12T02:45:27Z

Netem duplication can cause infinite loop in qdisc_run because the qlen of the parent qdisc is not affected by the duplication. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] prevent bad forwarding table updates

2005-06-12T02:45:26Z

Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security risk.

[PATCH] ext3: fix log_do_checkpoint() assertion failure

2005-06-12T02:45:26Z

Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint(). We might fail to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk. The patch was confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users. When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list. Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

[PATCH] Fix for bttv driver (v0.9.15) for Leadtek WinFast VC100 XP capture cards

2005-06-12T02:45:25Z

Cc: kraxel@bytesex.org This is a tiny patch that fixes bttv-cards.c so that Leadtek WinFast VC100 XP video capture cards work. I've been advised to post it here after having already posted it to the v4l mailing list.

[PATCH] x86_64: Fix ptrace boundary check

2005-06-12T02:45:24Z

Don't allow accesses below register frame in ptrace There was a "off by one quad word" error in there. Found and fixed by John Blackwood Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] x86_64: avoid SMP boot up race

2005-06-12T02:45:23Z

Keep interrupts disabled during smp bootup This avoids a race that breaks SMP bootup on some machines. The race is not fully plugged (that is only done with much more changes in 2.6.12), but should be good enough for most people. Keeping the interrupts disabled here is ok because we don't rely on the timer interrupt for local APIC timer setup, but always read the timer registers directly.

[PATCH] fix hfsplus oops, hfs and hfsplus leak

2005-06-12T02:45:22Z

This patch fixes the leak of sb->s_fs_info in both the HFS and HFS+ modules. In addition to this, it fixes an oops happening when trying to mount a non-hfsplus filesystem using hfsplus. This patch is from Roman Zippel, based off patches sent by myself. It's been included in 2.6.12- rc4.

[PATCH] Fix deadlock with ip_queue and tcp local input path.

2005-06-12T02:45:22Z

When we have ip_queue being used from LOCAL_IN, then we end up with a situation where the verdicts coming back from userspace traverse the TCP input path from syscall context. While this seems to work most of the time, there's an ugly deadlock: syscall context is interrupted by the timer interrupt. When the timer interrupt leaves, the timer softirq get's scheduled and calls tcp_delack_timer() and alike. They themselves do bh_lock_sock(sk), which is already held from somewhere else -> boom. I've now tested the suggested solution by Patrick McHardy and Herbert Xu to simply use local_bh_{en,dis}able(). Signed-off-by: Harald Welte Signed-off-by: David S.

[PATCH] try_to_unmap_cluster() passes out-of-bounds pte to pte_unmap()

2005-06-12T02:45:21Z

try_to_unmap_cluster() does: for (pte = pte_offset_map(pmd, address); address < end; pte++, address += PAGE_SIZE) { ... } pte_unmap(pte); It may take a little staring to notice, but pte can actually fall off the end of the pte page in this iteration, which makes life difficult for kmap_atomic() and the users not expecting it to BUG(). Of course, we're somewhat lucky in that arithmetic elsewhere in the function guarantees that at least one iteration is made, lest this force larger rearrangements to be made. This issue and patch also apply to non-mm mainline and with trivial adjustments, at least two related kernels. Discovered during internal testing at Oracle.
