linux-stable.git/drivers/staging/dgrp, branch linux-3.10.y

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

2013-05-02T00:51:54+00:00

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

7kloc removed.

Include missing linux/slab.h inclusions where the source file is currently
expecting to get kmalloc() and co. through linux/proc_fs.h.

staging: dgrp: info leak in dgrp_dpa_ioctl()

2013-04-22T17:25:46+00:00

If "nd->nd_vpd_len" is less than 512 then the last part of the
"vpd.vpd_data" has uninitialized stack information.  We need to clear it
before copying the buffer to user space.

procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)

2013-04-09T18:13:32+00:00

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)->data.  Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

dgrp procfs fixes, part 6: just use proc_create{,_data}

2013-04-09T18:13:09+00:00

->permission() of its own is a rudiment of sysctl imitation;
normal procfs logics will do just fine here, no need to
mess with ->proc_iops at all.

dgrp procfs fixes, part 5: per-node files

2013-04-09T18:13:08+00:00

this "hooks" scheme is pointless - just make file_operations non-static
and consolidate initialiazation bits.

dgrp procfs fixes, part 4: get rid of sysctl-like machinery

dgrp procfs fixes, part 2

2013-04-09T18:13:07+00:00

All table entries either have non-NULL ->proc_file_fops or
non-NULL child.
