<title>char: ppdev: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in pp_release()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7bdd9695970eb8cd5b987e08f99cb8f0c84f30fd</id>
<content type='text'>
In pp_release(), there is an if statement on line 730 to check whether
pp-&gt;pdev is NULL:
    else if ((pp-&gt;flags &amp; PP_CLAIMED) &amp;&amp; pp-&gt;pdev &amp;&amp; ...)

When pp-&gt;pdev is NULL, it is used on line 743:
    info = &amp;pp-&gt;pdev-&gt;port-&gt;ieee1284;
and on line 748:
    parport_release(pp-&gt;pdev);

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, pp-&gt;pdev is checked on line 740.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Usually every parallel port will have a single pardev registered with
it. But ppdev driver is an exception. This userspace parallel port
driver allows to create multiple parrallel port devices for a single
parallel port. And as a result we were having a big warning like:
"sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/parport0/ppdev0.0'".
And with that many parallel port printers stopped working.

We have been using the minor number as the id field while registering
a parralel port device with a parralel port. But when there are
multiple parrallel port device for one single parallel port, they all
tried to register with the same name like 'pardev0.0' and everything
started failing.
Use an incremented index as the id instead of the minor number.

A previous fix of a memory leak now prints the string 'name'
that was previously free'd.  Fix this by free'ing the string
at the end of the function and adding an error exit path for
the error conditions.

<content type='text'>
After parport starts using the device model, all pardevice drivers
should decide in their match_port callback function if they want to
attach with that particulatr port. ppdev has been converted to use the
new parport device-model code but pp_attach() tried to attach with all
the ports.
Create a new array of pointer and use that to remember the ports we
have attached. And use that information to skip attaching ports which
we have already attached.
