Convert all system calls to return a long

2009-01-18T18:43:50Z

commit 2ed7c03ec17779afb4fcfa3b8c61df61bd4879ba upstream. Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all converted types should have the same size anyway. With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't matter since the system call doesn't return. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] sanitize __user_walk_fd() et.al.

2008-07-27T00:53:34Z

* do not pass nameidata; struct path is all the callers want. * switch to new helpers: user_path_at(dfd, pathname, flags, &path) user_path(pathname, &path) user_lpath(pathname, &path) user_path_dir(pathname, &path) (fail if not a directory) The last 3 are trivial macro wrappers for the first one. * remove nameidata in callers.

[PATCH] kill nameidata passing to permission(), rename to inode_permission()

2008-07-27T00:53:31Z

Incidentally, the name that gives hundreds of false positives on grep is not a good idea... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: elevate write count for xattr_permission() callers

2008-04-19T04:29:15Z

This basically audits the callers of xattr_permission(), which calls permission() and can perform writes to the filesystem.

Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}

2008-02-15T05:13:33Z

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.
