[PATCH] Fix ptrace self-attach rule

2005-11-11T05:22:08Z

Before we did CLONE_THREAD, the way to check whether we were attaching to ourselves was to just check "current == task", but with CLONE_THREAD we should check that the thread group ID matches instead. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fix alpha breakage

2005-11-11T05:18:56Z

barrier.h uses barrier() in non-SMP case. And doesn't include compiler.h. Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] ipvs: fix connection leak if expire_nodest_conn=1

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

There was a fix in 2.6.13 that changed the behaviour of ip_vs_conn_expire_now function not to put reference to connection, its callers should hold write lock or connection refcnt. But we forgot to convert one caller, when the real server for connection is unavailable caller should put the connection reference. It happens only when sysctl var expire_nodest_conn is set to 1 and such connections never expire. Thanks to Roberto Nibali who found the problem and tested a 2.4.32-rc2 patch, which is equal to this 2.6 version.

[PATCH] fix de_thread() vs send_group_sigqueue() race

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can oops in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL. However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL, because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't trust p->signal. This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers() call.

[PATCH] - fix signal->live leak in copy_process()

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

exit_signal() (called from copy_process's error path) should decrement ->signal->live, otherwise forking process will miss 'group_dead' in do_exit(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] NET: Fix zero-size datagram reception

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

The recent rewrite of skb_copy_datagram_iovec broke the reception of zero-size datagrams. This patch fixes it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] airo.c/airo_cs.c: correct prototypes

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

This patch creates a file airo.h containing prototypes of the global functions in airo.c used by airo_cs.c . If you got strange problems with either airo_cs devices or in any other completely unrelated part of the kernel shortly or long after a airo_cs device was detected by the kernel, this might have been caused by the fact that caller and callee disagreed regarding the size of the first argument to init_airo_card()...

[PATCH] tcp: BIC max increment too large

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

The max growth of BIC TCP is too large. Original code was based on BIC 1.0 and the default there was 32. Later code (2.6.13) included compensation for delayed acks, and should have reduced the default value to 16; since normally TCP gets one ack for every two packets sent. The current value of 32 makes BIC too aggressive and unfair to other flows. Submitted-by: Injong Rhee Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] USB: always export interface information for modalias

2005-11-11T05:18:55Z

This fixes a problem with some cdc acm devices that were not getting automatically loaded as the module alias was not being reported properly. This check was for back in the days when we only reported hotplug events for the main usb device, not the interfaces. We should always give the interface information for MODALIAS/modalias as it can be needed. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
