tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privileges

This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network
administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it
is issued by a process lacking those privileges.  The revised error
handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global
variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command,
then following the standard command processing path to generate the
required error message.

16 years agoRemove blkdev warning triggered by using md
Neil Brown [Wed, 14 May 2008 23:05:54 +0000 (16:05 -0700)]
Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md

As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.

For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock.  So always initialise that lock when allocated.

With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs.

16 years agomemory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap
Heiko Carstens [Wed, 14 May 2008 23:05:52 +0000 (16:05 -0700)]
memory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
 Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff.  That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore

list_add(&page->lru,
&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);

in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.

This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone.  Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized.  Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap.  To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.

The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"

back.

be empty after the IRQ transfer due to AD1816 coming with an empty but
still present independent option by default.

add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust

match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.

There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options().  I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.

The source string is a substing of the mount options.  The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero.  See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().

The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.

We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.  PATH_MAX is 4096.  As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.

Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct.  It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

iwl3945: do not delay hardware scan if it is a direct scan

iwl3945 <---> mac80211 <----> wpa_supplicant <---> NetworkManager

When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less
than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the
error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error
code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a
timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the
scan failed. This is a weakness in the design.

I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more
an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been
disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work
being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface
is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive
(NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager
became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan
issue which we are discussing.

The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request
is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.
