integrity: special fs magic

2008-10-12T22:47:43Z

Discussion on the mailing list questioned the use of these magic values in userspace, concluding these values are already exported to userspace via statfs and their correct/incorrect usage is left up to the userspace application. - Move special fs magic number definitions to magic.h - Add magic.h include Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Reviewed-by: James Morris Signed-off-by: James Morris

security: add/fix security kernel-doc

2008-08-20T10:16:32Z

Add security/inode.c functions to the kernel-api docbook. Use '%' on constants in kernel-doc notation. Fix several typos/spellos in security function descriptions. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: James Morris

Kobject: convert remaining kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

2008-01-25T04:40:40Z

There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with kobject_put(). Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kobject: convert kernel_kset to be a kobject

2008-01-25T04:40:24Z

kernel_kset does not need to be a kset, but a much simpler kobject now that we have kobj_attributes. We also rename kernel_kset to kernel_kobj to catch all users of this symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kset: convert kernel_subsys to use kset_create

2008-01-25T04:40:14Z

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. We also rename kernel_subsys to kernel_kset to catch all users of this symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning. Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kobject: convert securityfs to use kobject_create

2008-01-25T04:40:11Z

We don't need a kset here, a simple kobject will do just fine, so dynamically create the kobject and use it. Cc: Kay Sievers Acked-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset

2008-01-25T04:40:10Z

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has. This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers. Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Dave Young Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

security/ cleanups

2007-10-17T15:43:07Z

This patch contains the following cleanups that are now possible: - remove the unused security_operations->inode_xattr_getsuffix - remove the no longer used security_operations->unregister_security - remove some no longer required exit code - remove a bunch of no longer used exports Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Acked-by: James Morris Cc: Chris Wright Cc: Stephen Smalley Cc: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59Z

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this, especially as it is not really needed at all. Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 9

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
