[PATCH] file: modify struct fown_struct to use a struct pid

2006-10-02T14:57:14Z

File handles can be requested to send sigio and sigurg to processes. By tracking the destination processes using struct pid instead of pid_t we make the interface safe from all potential pid wrap around problems. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

[PATCH] Vectorize aio_read/aio_write fileop methods

2006-10-01T07:39:28Z

This patch vectorizes aio_read() and aio_write() methods to prepare for collapsing all aio & vectored operations into one interface - which is aio_read()/aio_write().

[NET]: sock_register interface changes

2006-09-22T21:54:20Z

The sock_register() doesn't change the family, so the protocols can define it read-only. No caller ever checks return value from sock_unregister() Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: socket family using RCU

2006-09-22T21:54:19Z

Replace the gross custom locking done in socket code for net_family[] with simple RCU usage. Some reordering necessary to avoid sleep issues with sock_alloc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET] socket: code style cleanup

2006-09-22T21:54:17Z

Make socket.c conform to current style: * run through Lindent * get rid of unneeded casts * split assignment and comparsion where possible Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Round out in-kernel sockets API

2006-09-22T21:54:05Z

This patch implements wrapper functions that provide a convenient way to access the sockets API for in-kernel users like sunrpc, cifs & ocfs2 etc and any future users. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala Acked-by: James Morris Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NetLabel]: SELinux support

2006-09-22T21:53:36Z

Add NetLabel support to the SELinux LSM and modify the socket_post_create() LSM hook to return an error code. The most significant part of this patch is the addition of NetLabel hooks into the following SELinux LSM hooks: * selinux_file_permission() * selinux_socket_sendmsg() * selinux_socket_post_create() * selinux_socket_sock_rcv_skb() * selinux_socket_getpeersec_stream() * selinux_socket_getpeersec_dgram() * selinux_sock_graft() * selinux_inet_conn_request() The basic reasoning behind this patch is that outgoing packets are "NetLabel'd" by labeling their socket and the NetLabel security attributes are checked via the additional hook in selinux_socket_sock_rcv_skb(). NetLabel itself is only a labeling mechanism, similar to filesystem extended attributes, it is up to the SELinux enforcement mechanism to perform the actual access checks. In addition to the changes outlined above this patch also includes some changes to the extended bitmap (ebitmap) and multi-level security (mls) code to import and export SELinux TE/MLS attributes into and out of NetLabel.
