[PATCH] Fix a free-wrong-pointer bug in nfs/acl server (CVE-2007-0772)

2007-02-20T06:33:33+00:00

Due to type confusion, when an nfsacl verison 2 'ACCESS' request finishes and tries to clean up, it calls fh_put on entiredly the wrong thing and this can cause an oops. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] EFI x86: pass firmware call parameters on the stack

2007-02-04T18:27:10+00:00

When calling into the EFI firmware, the parameters need to be passed on the stack. The recent change to use -mregparm=3 breaks x86 EFI support. This patch is needed to allow the new Intel-based Macs to suspend to ram (efi.get_time is called during the suspend phase). Signed-off-by: Frederic Riss Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Altix: more ACPI PRT support

2007-02-03T19:26:06+00:00

The SN Altix platform does not conform to the IOSAPIC IRQ routing model. Add code in acpi_unregister_gsi() to check if (acpi_irq_model == ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM) and return. Due to an oversight, this code was not added previously when similar code was added to acpi_register_gsi(). http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-acpi&m=116680983430121&w=2 Signed-off-by: John Keller Acked-by: Len Brown Cc: "Luck, Tony" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version

2007-02-03T19:26:06+00:00

Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against blockdevs. We don't know why either of these things are occurring. The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20 release. Cc: Andrew Vasquez Cc: Ken Chen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] alpha: fix epoll syscall enumerations

2007-02-03T19:26:06+00:00

We went and named them __NR_sys_foo instead of __NR_foo. It may be too late to change this, but we can at least add the proper names now. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
