staging: android: logger: Fix log corruption regression

2014-10-28T22:24:30Z

Since commit cd678fce4280 ("switch logger to ->write_iter()"), any attempt to write to the log results in the log data being written over its own metadata, thus rendering the log unreadable. The problem was first detected when I ran an Android userspace on the v3.18-rc1 kernel. However the issue can also be observed with a non-Android userspace by using echo/cat to write to/from /dev/log_main . This patch resolves the problem by using a temporary to track the status of not-yet-committed writes to the log buffer. Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro: "The big thing in this pile is Eric's unmount-on-rmdir series; we finally have everything we need for that. The final piece of prereqs is delayed mntput() - now filesystem shutdown always happens on shallow stack. Other than that, we have several new primitives for iov_iter (Matt Wilcox, culled from his XIP-related series) pushing the conversion to ->read_iter()/ ->write_iter() a bit more, a bunch of fs/dcache.c cleanups and fixes (including the external name refcounting, which gives consistent behaviour of d_move() wrt procfs symlinks for long and short names alike) and assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place. This is just the first pile; there's a lot of stuff from various people that ought to go in this window.

staging : android : sync : get_unused_fd

2014-09-29T02:03:57Z

sync.h recommends to use get_unused_fd which does not set O_CLOEXEC while the rest of the android tree uses get_unused_fd_flags and sets O_CLOEXEC. The patch adjust the comment. Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
