This is the line in nla_ok():
/**
* nla_ok - check if the netlink attribute fits into the remaining bytes
* @nla: netlink attribute
* @remaining: number of bytes remaining in attribute stream
*/
static inline int nla_ok(const struct nlattr *nla, int remaining)
{
return remaining >= sizeof(*nla) &&
nla->nla_len >= sizeof(*nla) &&
nla->nla_len <= remaining;
}
It turns out that remaining can become negative due to alignment in
nla_next(). But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test
against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the
nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer.
A short example illustrating this point is here:
#include <stdio.h>
main(void)
{
printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int));
}
...which prints "1".
This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make
a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the
patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report.

To speed up the Simple Pairing connection setup, the support for the
default link policy has been enabled. This is in contrast to settings
the link policy on every connection setup. Using the default link policy
is the preferred way since there is no need to dynamically change it for
every connection.
For backward compatibility reason and to support old userspace the
HCISETLINKPOL ioctl has been switched over to using hci_request() to
issue the HCI command for setting the default link policy instead of
just storing it in the HCI device structure.
However the hci_request() can only be issued when the device is
brought up. If used on a device that is registered, but still down
it will timeout and fail. This is problematic since the command is
put on the TX queue and the Bluetooth core tries to submit it to
hardware that is not ready yet. The timeout for these requests is
10 seconds and this causes a significant regression when setting up
a new device.
The userspace can perfectly handle a failure of the HCISETLINKPOL
ioctl and will re-submit it later, but the 10 seconds delay causes
a problem. So in case hci_request() is called on a device that is
still down, just fail it with ENETDOWN to indicate what happens.

[PATCH] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic()
In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've
gone through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the
inc_preempt_count() 'feature' works as expected.
Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user)
rely on the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt
count.

The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529
James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

On my tulsa x86-64 machine, kernel 2.6.25-rc5 couldn't boot randomly.
Basically, function __enable_runtime forgets to reset rt_rq->rt_throttled
to 0. When every cpu is up, per-cpu migration_thread is created and it runs
very fast, sometimes to mark the corresponding rt_rq->rt_throttled to 1 very
quickly. After all cpus are up, with below calling chain:
sched_init_smp => arch_init_sched_domains => build_sched_domains => ...
=> cpu_attach_domain => rq_attach_root => set_rq_online => ...
=> _enable_runtime
_enable_runtime is called against every rt_rq again, so rt_rq->rt_time is
reset to 0, but rt_rq->rt_throttled might be still 1. Later on function
do_sched_rt_period_timer couldn't reset it, and all RT tasks couldn't be
scheduled to run on that cpu. here is RT task migration_thread which is
woken up when a task is migrated to another cpu.
Below patch fixes it against 2.6.27-rc5.

git commit 74811f355f causes crash at
module load (or boot) time on my machine with a hpt374 controller.
The reason for this is that for initializing second controller which sets
(hwif->dev == host->dev[1]) to true (1), adds 1 to a void ptr, which
advances it by one byte instead of advancing it by sizeof(hpt_info) bytes.
Because of this, all initialization functions get corrupted data in info
variable which causes a crash at boot time.
This patch fixes that and makes my machine boot again.

ocfs2 will become read-only if we try to read the bytes which pass
the end of i_size. This can be easily reproduced by following steps:
1. mkfs a ocfs2 volume with bs=4k cs=4k and nosparse.
2. create a small file(say less than 100 bytes) and we will create the file
which is allocated 1 cluster.
3. read 8196 bytes from the kernel using O_DIRECT which exceeds the limit.
4. The ocfs2 volume becomes read-only and dmesg shows:
OCFS2: ERROR (device sda13): ocfs2_direct_IO_get_blocks:
Inode 66010 has a hole at block 1
File system is now read-only due to the potential of on-disk corruption.
