merge task_work and rcu_head, get rid of separate allocation for keyring case

2012-07-22T19:57:56Z

task_work and rcu_head are identical now; merge them (calling the result struct callback_head, rcu_head #define'd to it), kill separate allocation in security/keys since we can just use cred->rcu now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

trimming task_work: kill ->data

2012-07-22T19:57:54Z

get rid of the only user of ->data; this is _not_ the final variant - in the end we'll have task_work and rcu_head identical and just use cred->rcu, at which point the separate allocation will be gone completely. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Merge commit 'v3.5-rc2' into next

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal

2012-06-01T01:47:30Z

Pull second pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro: "This one is just task_work_add() series + remaining prereqs for it. There probably will be another pull request from that tree this cycle - at least for helpers, to get them out of the way for per-arch fixes remaining in the tree." Fix trivial conflict in kernel/irq/manage.c: the merge of Andrew's pile had brought in commit 97fd75b7b8e0 ("kernel/irq/manage.c: use the pr_foo() infrastructure to prefix printks") which changed one of the pr_err() calls that this merge moves around. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: keys: kill task_struct->replacement_session_keyring keys: kill the dummy key_replace_session_keyring() keys: change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add() genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add() task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks avr32: missed _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME on one of do_notify_resume callers parisc: need to check NOTIFY_RESUME when exiting from syscall move key_repace_session_keyring() into tracehook_notify_resume() TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is defined on all targets now

aio/vfs: cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector() and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector()

2012-06-01T00:49:32Z

A cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector after changes made to support CMA in an earlier patch. Rather than having an additional check_access parameter to these functions, the first paramater type is overloaded to allow the caller to specify CHECK_IOVEC_ONLY which means check that the contents of the iovec are valid, but do not check the memory that they point to. This is used by process_vm_readv/writev where we need to validate that a iovec passed to the syscall is valid but do not want to check the memory that it points to at this point because it refers to an address space in another process.

kmod: convert two call sites to call_usermodehelper_fns()

2012-06-01T00:49:28Z

Both kernel/sys.c && security/keys/request_key.c where inlining the exact same code as call_usermodehelper_fns(); So simply convert these sites to directly use call_usermodehelper_fns().

security/keys/keyctl.c: suppress memory allocation failure warning

2012-06-01T00:49:26Z

This allocation may be large. The code is probing to see if it will succeed and if not, it falls back to vmalloc(). We should suppress any page-allocation failure messages when the fallback happens.

KEYS: Fix some sparse warnings

2012-05-25T10:51:42Z

Fix some sparse warnings in the keyrings code: (1) compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() should be static. (2) There were a couple of places where a pointer was being compared against integer 0 rather than NULL. (3) keyctl_instantiate_key_common() should not take a __user-labelled iovec pointer as the caller must have copied the iovec to kernel space. (4) __key_link_begin() takes and __key_link_end() releases keyring_serialise_link_sem under some circumstances and so this should be declared. Note that adding __acquires() and __releases() for this doesn't help cure the warnings messages - something only commenting out both helps. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: James Morris
