uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)

2012-04-02T16:52:35Z

commit 7b60a18da393ed70db043a777fd9e6d5363077c4 upstream. The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are ordered. Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock, than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event. This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum. v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit Thanks for Kay for the comments.

netlink: validate NLA_MSECS length

2011-11-04T21:47:34Z

L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this: policy: [L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, }, code: if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]) cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]); As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough and might overrun the message. Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the size properly. Cc: Thomas Graf Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lib/string.c: fix strim() semantics for strings that have only blanks

2011-11-01T00:30:56Z

Commit 84c95c9acf0 ("string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces before running over str") improved the performance of the strim() function. Unfortunately this changed the semantics of strim() and broke my code. Before the patch it was possible to use strim() without using the return value for removing trailing spaces from strings that had either only blanks or only trailing blanks. Now this does not work any longer for strings that *only* have blanks. Before patch: " " -> "" (empty string) After patch: " " -> " " (no change) I think we should remove your patch to restore the old behavior. The description (lib/string.c): * Note that the first trailing whitespace is replaced with a %NUL-terminator => The first trailing whitespace of a string that only has whitespace characters is the first whitespace The patch restores the old strim() semantics.
