linux-stable.git/drivers/staging/bcm, branch v3.6

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2012-08-01T17:26:23+00:00

Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro:
 "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
  deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
  patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
  dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
  userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
  for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
  There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be
  in it."

Fix up trivial conflicts due to unrelated changes next to each other in
drivers/{staging/gdm72xx/usb_boot.c, usb/gadget/storage_common.c}

slightly reduce idiocy in drivers/staging/bcm/Misc.c

2012-07-29T17:24:20+00:00

a) vfs_llseek() does *not* access userland pointers of any kind
b) neither does filp_close(), for that matter
c) ... nor filp_open()
d) vfs_read() does, but we do have a wrapper for that (kernel_read()),
so there's no need to reinvent it.
e) passing current->files to filp_close() on something that never
had been in descriptor table is pointless.
