[PATCH] Check input buffer size in zisofs

2005-08-15T00:20:09+00:00

Add fakey 'deflateBound()' function to the in-kernel zlib routines

It's not the real deflateBound() in newer zlib libraries, partly because
the upcoming usage of it won't have the "stream" available, so we can't
have the same interfaces anyway.

This uses the new deflateBound() thing to sanity-check the input to the
zlib decompressor before we even bother to start reading in the blocks.

[PATCH] bio_clone fix

Fix bug introduced in 2.6.11-rc2: when we clone a BIO we need to copy over the
current index into it as well.

It corrupts data with some MD setups.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4946

Huuuuuuuuge thanks to Matthew Stapleton  for doggedly
chasing this one down.

[PATCH] Clean up subthread exec (CAN-2005-1913)

2005-06-22T19:32:50+00:00

Make sure we re-parent itimers.  If subthread exec's with timer pending,
signal is delivered to old group-leader and can panic kernel.

[PATCH] Fix large core dumps with a 32-bit off_t

2005-06-16T16:02:59+00:00

The ELF core dump code has one use of off_t when writing out segments.
Some of the segments may be passed the 2GB limit of an off_t, even on a
32-bit system, so it's important to use loff_t instead.  This fixes a
corrupted core dump in the bigcore test in GDB's testsuite.

[PATCH] NFS: Ensure that we revalidate the cached file length for llseek(SEEK_END)

2005-06-13T17:33:02+00:00

This fixes a data corruption error for mail delivery applications that
expect to be able to do posix locking and then append writes on NFS.

[PATCH] NFS: Fix lookup intent handling

2005-06-07T22:53:47+00:00

We should never apply a lookup intent to anything other than the last
path component in an open(), create() or access() call.

Introduce the helper nfs_lookup_check_intent() which always returns
zero if LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_PARENT are set, and returns the
intent flags if we're on the last component of the lookup.
By doing so, we fix a bug in open(O_EXCL), where we may end up
optimizing away a real lookup of the parent directory.

[PATCH] binfmt_flat mmap flag fix

2005-06-06T21:57:51+00:00

Make sure that binfmt_flat passes the correct flags into do_mmap().  nommu's
validate_mmap_request() will simple return -EINVAL if we try and pass it a
flags value of zero.
