Revert "Staging: Android alarm: IOCTL command encoding fix"

2012-11-13T21:04:43Z

Commit 6bd4a5d96c08dc2380f8053b1bd4f879f55cd3c9 changed the ANDROID_ALARM_GET_TIME ioctls from IOW to IOR. While technically correct, the _IOC_DIR bits are ignored by alarm_ioctl, so the commit breaks a userspace ABI used by all existing Android devices for a purely cosmetic reason. Revert it.

Staging: android: binder: Allow using highmem for binder buffers

2012-10-22T20:23:19Z

The default kernel mapping for the pages allocated for the binder buffers is never used. Set the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag when allocating these pages so we don't needlessly use low memory pages that may be required elsewhere. Signed-off-by: Arve Hjønnevåg Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR

2012-10-09T07:22:17Z

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special vma operation: ->remap_pages(). Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support, if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used. Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro: - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of that is moved to fs/file.c (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate pile, this was just a mechanical code movement. - a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle, there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

2012-10-02T18:11:09Z

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next. After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

expose a low-level variant of fd_install() for binder

2012-09-27T01:08:55Z

Similar situation to that of __alloc_fd(); do not use unless you really have to. You should not touch any descriptor table other than your own; it's a sure sign of a really bad API design. As with __alloc_fd(), you *must* use a first-class reference to struct files_struct; something obtained by get_files_struct(some task) (let alone direct task->files) will not do. It must be either current->files, or obtained by get_files_struct(current) by the owner of that sucker and given to you. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

new helper: __alloc_fd()

2012-09-27T01:08:53Z

Essentially, alloc_fd() in a files_struct we own a reference to. Most of the time wanting to use it is a sign of lousy API design (such as android/binder). It's *not* a general-purpose interface; better that than open-coding its guts, but again, playing with other process' descriptor table is a sign of bad design. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

we really shouldn't do get_files_struct() on a different process and use it to modify the sucker later on. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
