2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-10-11[NET]: File descriptor loss while receiving SCM_RIGHTSMiklos Szeredi
If more than one file descriptor was sent with an SCM_RIGHTS message, and on the receiving end, after installing a nonzero (but not all) file descritpors the process runs out of fds, then the already installed fds will be lost (userspace will have no way of knowing about them). The following patch makes sure, that at least the already installed fds are sent to userspace. It doesn't solve the issue of losing file descriptors in case of an EFAULT on the userspace buffer.

2006-04-01[NETFILTER]: iptables 32bit compat layerDmitry Mishin
This patch extends current iptables compatibility layer in order to get 32bit iptables to work on 64bit kernel. Current layer is insufficient due to alignment checks both in kernel and user space tools. Patch is for current net-2.6.17 with addition of move of ipt_entry_{match| target} definitions to xt_entry_{match|target}.

2005-09-08[PATCH] Fix 32bit sendmsg() flawAl Viro
When we copy 32bit ->msg_control contents to kernel, we walk the same userland data twice without sanity checks on the second pass. Second version of this patch: the original broke with 64-bit arches running 32-bit-compat-mode executables doing sendmsg() syscalls with unaligned CMSG data areas Another thing is that we use kmalloc() to allocate and sock_kfree_s() to free afterwards; less serious, but also needs fixing.

2005-08-09[NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compatAndrew Morton
From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com> sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall! This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a new iovec structure. Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed. I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the problem: http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
