[PATCH] Keys: Get rid of warning in kmod.c if keys disabled

2005-10-31T01:37:23Z

The attached patch gets rid of a "statement without effect" warning when CONFIG_KEYS is disabled by making use of the return value of key_get(). The compiler will optimise all of this away when keys are disabled. Signed-Off-By: David Howells Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Keys: Pass session keyring to call_usermodehelper()

2005-06-24T07:05:18Z

The attached patch makes it possible to pass a session keyring through to the process spawned by call_usermodehelper(). This allows patch 3/3 to pass an authorisation key through to /sbin/request-key, thus permitting better access controls when doing just-in-time key creation.

[PATCH] take me home, hotplug_path[]

2004-11-01T05:06:49Z

Move hotplug_path[] out of kmod.[ch] to kobject_uevent.[ch] where it belongs now. At some time in the future we should fix the remaining bad hotplug calls (no SEQNUM, no netlink uevent): ./drivers/input/input.c (no DEVPATH on some hotplug events!) ./drivers/pnp/pnpbios/core.c ./drivers/s390/crypto/z90main.c Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Enable all events for initramfs

2004-08-23T05:46:30Z

Currently most driver events are not sent out when using initramfs as driver_init() (which triggers the events) is called before init_workqueues. This patch rearranges the init calls so that the hotplug event queue is enabled prior to calling driver_init(), hence we're getting all hotplug events again.

[PATCH] clean up cpumask_t temporaries

2004-06-24T01:52:44Z

From: Rusty Russell Paul Jackson's cpumask tour-de-force allows us to get rid of those stupid temporaries which we used to hold CPU_MASK_ALL to hand them to functions. This used to break NR_CPUS > BITS_PER_LONG. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fix modprobe_path and hotplug_path sizes and sysctl

2004-06-12T23:41:17Z

From: Andy Whitcroft Both modprobe_path and hotplug_path are arbitrarily sized at 256 bytes and that size is also expressed directly in the sysctl code. It seems reasonable to define a standard length and use that for consitancy. This patch introduces the constant KMOD_PATH_LEN and uses that.

sparse: annotate (and comment on) kmod.c user pointer usage

2004-06-03T12:54:49Z

Big comment, because it wasn't clear why this cast was valid. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Make usermodehelper_init() use core_initcall()

2004-05-10T07:10:46Z

We may as well make usermodehelper_init() core_initcall as well, to make sure its services are avaialble to all the other initcall levels.

[PATCH] Use workqueue for call_usermodehelper

2004-04-26T15:55:31Z

From: Rusty Russell call_usermodehelper uses keventd to create a thread, guaranteeing a nice, clean kernel thread. Unfortunately, there is a case where call_usermodehelper is called with &bus->subsys.rwsem held (via bus_add_driver()), but keventd could be running bus_add_device(), which is blocked on the same lock. The result is deadlock, and it comes from using keventd for both. In this case, it can be fixed by using a completely independent thread for call_usermodehelper, or an independent workqueue. Workqueues have the infrastructure we need, so we use one. Move EXPORT_SYMBOL while we're there, too. akpm fixes: Make it compile with !CONFIG_KMOD

[PATCH] generalise system_running

2004-04-12T05:40:05Z

From: Olof Johansson It's currently a boolean, but that means that system_running goes to zero again when shutting down. So we then use code (in the page allocator) which is only designed to be used during bootup - it is marked __init. So we need to be able to distinguish early boot state from late shutdown state. Rename system_running to system_state and give it the three appropriate states.
