2008-08-01[PATCH] merge locate_fd() and get_unused_fd()Al Viro4-130/+77
New primitive: alloc_fd(start, flags). get_unused_fd() and get_unused_fd_flags() become wrappers on top of it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-08-01Re: BUG at security/selinux/avc.c:883 (was: Re: linux-next: TreeStephen Smalley1-1/+1
for July 17: early crash on x86-64) SELinux needs MAY_APPEND to be passed down to the security hook. Otherwise, we get permission denials when only append permission is granted by policy even if the opening process specified O_APPEND. Shows up as a regression in the ltp selinux testsuite, fixed by this patch. Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-07-31Fix off-by-one error in iov_iter_advance()Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the next page was unallocated. The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix.

2008-07-31romfs_readpage: don't report errors for pages beyond i_sizeLinus Torvalds1-14/+23
We zero-fill them like we are supposed to, and that's all fine. It's only an error if the 'romfs_copyfrom()' routine isn't able to fill the data that is supposed to be there. Most of the patch is really just re-organizing the code a bit, and using separate variables for the error value and for how much of the page we actually filled from the filesystem.

2008-07-30GRU Driver: hardware data structuresJack Steiner2-1/+666
This series of patches adds a driver for the SGI UV GRU. The driver is still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64. All simple regression tests pass on IA64. Although features remain to be added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the kernel. Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the GRU driver. The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space. This memory is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands. The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to processor TLBs. Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types of changes are made to the process page tables. There are several MMUOPS patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the kernel. The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli. This patch: Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used by the driver to manage the GRU.
