vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fchdir()'

2012-07-08T00:19:02Z

We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris. In particular, O_PATH allows you to access (not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only execute permission. Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.

Merge branch 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm

2012-07-07T18:20:59Z

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: "Last merge window, we had some updates from Al cleaning up the signal restart handling. These have caused some problems on ARM, and while Al has some fixes, we have some concerns with Al's patches but we've been unsuccesful with discussing this. We have got to the point where we need to do something, and we've decided that the best solution is to revert the appropriate commits until Al is able to reply to us. Also included here are four patches to fix warnings that I've noticed in my build system, and one fix for kprobes test code." * 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: ARM: fix warning caused by wrongly typed arm_dma_limit ARM: fix warnings about atomic64_read ARM: 7440/1: kprobes: only test 'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' on ARMv6 ARM: 7441/1: perf: return -EOPNOTSUPP if requested mode exclusion is unavailable ARM: 7443/1: Revert "new way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK" ARM: 7442/1: Revert "remove unused restart trampoline" ARM: fix set_domain() macro ARM: fix mach-versatile/pci.c warning

security: Minor improvements to no_new_privs documentation

2012-07-07T14:25:48Z

The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs. This also adds a note about possible interactions between no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs from include/linux/prctl.h.

Merge tag 'ecryptfs-3.5-rc6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tyhicks/ecryptfs

2012-07-06T22:32:18Z

Pull eCryptfs fixes from Tyler Hicks: "Fixes an incorrect access mode check when preparing to open a file in the lower filesystem. This isn't an urgent fix, but it is simple and the check was obviously incorrect. Also fixes a couple important bugs in the eCryptfs miscdev interface. These changes are low risk due to the small number of users that use the miscdev interface. I was able to keep the changes minimal and I have some cleaner, more complete changes queued up for the next merge window that will build on these patches." * tag 'ecryptfs-3.5-rc6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tyhicks/ecryptfs: eCryptfs: Gracefully refuse miscdev file ops on inherited/passed files eCryptfs: Fix lockdep warning in miscdev operations eCryptfs: Properly check for O_RDONLY flag before doing privileged open

Pull target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "Two minor target fixes. There is really nothing exciting and/or controversial this time around. There's one fix from MDR for a RCU debug warning message within tcm_fc code (CC'ed to stable), and a small AC fix for qla_target.c based upon a recent Coverity static report. Also, there is one other outstanding virtio-scsi LUN scanning bugfix that has been uncovered with the in-flight tcm_vhost driver over the last days, and that needs to make it into 3.5 final too. This patch has been posted to linux-scsi again here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=134160609212542&w=2 and I've asked James to include it in his next PULL request." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: qla2xxx: print the right array elements in qlt_async_event tcm_fc: Resolve suspicious RCU usage warnings

eCryptfs: Gracefully refuse miscdev file ops on inherited/passed files

2012-07-06T20:51:12Z

File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an error code can be safely returned in most situations. In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev file is opened and only used when the file is released. https://launchpad.net/bugs/994247 Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks Reported-by: Sasha Levin Tested-by: Sasha Levin

qla2xxx: print the right array elements in qlt_async_event

2012-07-06T20:09:23Z

Based upon Alan's patch from Coverity scan id 793583, these debug messages in qlt_async_event() should be starting from byte 0, which is always the Asynchronous Event Status Code from the parent switch statement. Also, rename reason_code -> login_code following the language used in 2500 FW spec for Port Database Changed (0x8014) -> Port Database Changed Event Mailbox Register for mailbox[2].

tcm_fc: Resolve suspicious RCU usage warnings

Use rcu_dereference_protected to tell rcu that the ft_lport_lock is held during ft_lport_create. This resolved "suspicious RCU usage" warnings when debugging options are turned on. Signed-off-by: Mark Rustad Tested-by: Ross Brattain Cc: Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger
