Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPEND

2008-10-09T21:26:38+00:00

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.

It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example.  So
we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.

But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).

So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now.  I doubt anybody cares, and this
way we have one less gray area to worry about.

SLOB: fix bogus ksize calculation fix

2008-10-09T19:18:27+00:00

This fixes the previous fix, which was completely wrong on closer
inspection. This version has been manually tested with a user-space
test harness and generates sane values. A nearly identical patch has
been boot-tested.

The problem arose from changing how kmalloc/kfree handled alignment
padding without updating ksize to match. This brings it in sync.

hwmon: (abituguru3) Enable DMI probing feature on Abit AT8 32X

2008-10-09T13:33:59+00:00

Enable driver checking of the DMI product name (when enabled) on
an Abit AT8 32X, instead of falling back to a manual probe. This
eliminates false negatives and eventually will help avoid
unnecessary bus probes on unsupported mainboards.

hwmon: (abituguru3) Enable reading from AUX3 fan on Abit AT8 32X

2008-10-09T13:33:59+00:00

The table for the Abit AT8 32X was incorrectly missing an entry
for the sixth ("AUX3") fan. Add this entry, exporting the fan
reading to userspace.

Closes lm-sensors.org ticket #2339.
