JFFS2 initialize f->sem mutex as "locked" in the slab constructor which is a
bug. Objects are freed with unlocked f->sem mutex. So, when they allocated
again, f->sem is unlocked because the slab cache constructor is not called for
them. The constructor is called only once when memory pages are allocated for
objects (namely, when the slab layer allocates new slabs). So, sometimes
'struct jffs2_inode_info' are allocated with unlocked f->sem, sometimes with
locked. This is a bug. Instead, initialize f->sem as unlocked in the
constructor. I.e., in the "constructed" state f->sem must be unlocked.

This patch corrects the return value for the EXT3_IOC_GROUP_ADD in case it
fails due to the presence of multiple resizers at the filesystem.
The problem is a little bit more serious than a wrong return value in this
case, since the clause err=0 in the exit_journal path will lead to a call
to update_backups which in turns causes a NULL pointer dereference.

This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.
Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

In cases where the server has gone insane, nfs_update_inode() may end
up calling nfs_invalidate_inode(), which again calls stuff that takes
the inode->i_lock that we're already holding.
In addition, given the sort of things we have in NFS these days that
need to be cleaned up on inode release, I'm not sure we should ever
be calling make_bad_inode().
Fix up spinlock recursion, and limit nfs_invalidate_inode() to clearing
the caches, and marking the inode as being stale.

When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread adds old leader to the init's
->children list in EXIT_ZOMBIE state and drops tasklist_lock.
This means that release_task(leader) in de_thread() is racy vs do_wait()
from init task.
I think de_thread() should set old leader's state to EXIT_DEAD instead.

Currently, if a hugetlbfs is mounted without limits (the default), statfs()
will return -1 for max/free/used blocks. This does not appear to be in
line with normal convention: simple_statfs() and shmem_statfs() both return
0 in similar cases. Worse, it confuses the translation logic in
put_compat_statfs(), causing it to return -EOVERFLOW on such a mount.
This patch alters hugetlbfs_statfs() to return 0 for max/free/used blocks
on a mount without limits. Note that we need the test in the patch below,
rather than just using 0 in the sbinfo structure, because the -1 marked in

In fs/compat.c, whenever put_compat_statfs() returns an error, the
containing syscall returns -EFAULT. This is presumably by analogy with the
non-compat case, where any non-zero code from copy_to_user() should be
translated into an EFAULT. However, put_compat_statfs() is also return
-EOVERFLOW. The same applies for put_compat_statfs64().
This bug can be observed with a statfs() on a hugetlbfs directory.
hugetlbfs, when mounted without limits reports available, free and total
blocks as -1 (itself a bug, another patch coming). statfs() will
mysteriously return EFAULT although it's parameters are perfectly valid
addresses.
This patch causes the compat versions of statfs() and statfs64() to
correctly propogate the return values from put_compat_statfs() and
put_compat_statfs64().

There is user data corruption when using ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) in 32-bit
application running amd64 kernel. I do not think that this problem is
exploitable, but any data corruption may lead to security problems.
Following code demonstrates the problem
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
char buf[256];
main()
{
int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
struct ifconf req;
int i;
req.ifc_buf = buf;
req.ifc_len = 41;
printf("Result %d\n", ioctl(s, SIOCGIFCONF, &req));
printf("Len %d\n", req.ifc_len);
for (i = 41; i < 256; i++)
if (buf[i] != 0)
printf("Byte %d is corrupted\n", i);
}
Steps to reproduce:
Compile the code above into 32-bit elf and run it. You'll get
Result 0
Len 32
Byte 48 is corrupted
Byte 52 is corrupted
Byte 53 is corrupted
Byte 54 is corrupted
Byte 55 is corrupted

- use do_sync_read/do_sync_write as read/write operations. They call
->readv/->writev which we now always implemente.
- add the filemap_fdatawrite calls to writev/aio_write which were
missing previously compared to plain write. no idea what the point

Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the
stack.
The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.
If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.
Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

introduced a pretty nasty memory leak in the lease code. When freeing
the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up
the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed
fasync entry will be reinstated.
This patch ensures that we skip the call to fasync_helper() when we're
freeing up the lease.
