[IrDA]: Correctly handling socket error

2007-04-18T22:07:22Z

This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep queue. This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix, as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg (and other places) to oops. This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable inclusion. Signed-off-by: Olaf Kirch Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IrDA]: Calling ppp_unregister_channel() from process context

2007-03-20T07:09:42Z

We need to call ppp_unregister_channel() when IrNET disconnects, and this must be done from a process context. Bug reported and patch tested by Guennadi Liakhovetski. Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IrDA]: irttp_dup spin_lock initialisation

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59Z

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54Z

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 8

2007-02-12T17:48:46Z

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
