Now that sys_sysctl is an emulation on top of proc sys all sysctl operations look like normal filesystem operations and we don't need to use the special sysctl hook to authenticate them. Acked-by:

With the change of sys_sysctl going through the internal proc mount we no longer need to handle security_sysctl in tomoyo as we have valid pathnames for all sysctl accesses. There is one slight caveat to that in that all of the paths from the internal mount look like "/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" instead of "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" so tomoyo needs to add the "/proc" portion manually when resolving to full path names to get what it expects. This change teaches tomoyo perform that modification. Acked-by:

PPS events must be recorded according to PPS's mode settings. If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS client calls the pps_event() function to save the current PPS event, we should verify the event type and then discard unwanted ones. Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS event (assert or clear but not both) may be awakened at wrong time. Signed-off-by:

v3020_mmio_read_bit() always returns 0 when left_shift > 7. v3020_mmio_read_bit()'s return type is (unsigned char). The code returns a value masked by (1 << left_shift) that is casted to the return type. If left_shift is larger than 7, the cast will always result in a 0 return value. The problem was discovered with left_shift = 16, and the included patch corrects the problem. The bug was introduced in the last (Apr 3 2009) commit of the file, kernel versions 2.6.30 and later.

Daniel Lezcano reported a leak in 'struct pid' and 'struct pid_namespace' that is discussed in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/2/159. To summarize the thread, when container-init is terminated, it sets the PF_EXITING flag, zaps other processes in the container and waits to reap them. As a part of reaping, the container-init should flush any /proc dentries associated with the processes. But because the container-init is itself exiting and the following PF_EXITING check, the dentries are not flushed, resulting in leak in /proc inodes and dentries. This fix reverts the commit 7766755a ("Fix /proc dcache deadlock in do_exit") which introduced the check for PF_EXITING. At the time of the commit, shrink_dcache_parent() flushed dentries from other filesystems also and could have caused a deadlock which the commit fixed. But as pointed out by Eric Biederman, after commit 0feae5c4 , shrink_dcache_parent() no longer affects other filesystems. So reverting the commit is now safe. As pointed out by Jan Kara, the leak is not as critical since the unclaimed space will be reclaimed under memory pressure or by: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches But since this check is no longer required, its best to remove it.

This causes panic in end_migration. This patch fixes it. Reported-by:

Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer. They are used only in two drivers: 1. savagefb - and cause bug #11248 2. uvesafb Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future. Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248. The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in the fb_release). This defeats the purpose of these operations. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11248 Signed-off-by:

page allocator: always wake kswapd when restarting an allocation attempt after direct reclaim failed If a direct reclaim makes no forward progress, it considers whether it should go OOM or not. Whether OOM is triggered or not, it may retry the allocation afterwards. In times past, this would always wake kswapd as well but currently, kswapd is not woken up after direct reclaim fails. For order-0 allocations, this makes little difference but if there is a heavy mix of higher-order allocations that direct reclaim is failing for, it might mean that kswapd is not rewoken for higher orders as much as it did previously. This patch wakes up kswapd when an allocation is being retried after a direct reclaim failure. It would be expected that kswapd is already awake, but this has the effect of telling kswapd to reclaim at the higher order as well. Signed-off-by:
