This relates to the bugs reported in this document http://www.guninski.com/where_do_you_want_billg_to_go_today_3.html Backport of ATM copy-to-user signedness fix from 2.6 Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> ===== net/atm/addr.h 1.2 vs edited ===== ChangeSet@1.1472, 2005-03-24 09:13:38-03:00, relf@os2.ru [PATCH] fs/hpfs/*: fix HPFS support under 64-bit kernel The provided patch fixes HPFS filesystem support under 64-bit Linux kernel and closes the bugreport http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4333 The problem is in 'time_t' size which is 8 bytes on 64-bit systems (comparing to 4 bytes on 32-bit systems). The patch introduces local 'time32_t' type of the fixed size 4 and uses it where required.

The following is (I think) appropriate for 2.4.30. The bug it fixes can result in data corruption in a fairly unusual circumstance (having a 3 drive raid1 array running in degraded mode, and suffering a system crash). ### Comments for Changeset If a raid1 array has more than two devices, and not all are working, then it will not resync after an unclean shutdown (as it will think that it should reconstruct a failed drive, and will find there aren't any spares...) This patch fixes the problem. Problem found by Mario Holbe <Mario.Holbe@TU-Ilmenau.DE> (thanks!)

The problem it fixes is not a major one (no security or data corruption issues) but is an occasional annoyance, and the fix is trivial (and tested). ### Comments for Changeset I can't see any reason for this file->f_count++. Removing it fixes a bug which leaves an exported filesystem busy (and so unmountable) if a callback for a lock held on that filesystem ever failed. Found by Terence Rokop. Signed-off-by: J.

Unfortunately, I only have the other type, and so I let it slip in. I have tested this to build and not break my type. This fix is not yet present in Linus's 2.6, but I am confident that it will make it in due time. I keep MCT synched between 2.4 and 2.6, this patch applies to both trees.

However, the new serial_write still has an reference remaining in down(&port->sem). Joachim Nilsson corrected me. ChangeSet@1.1466, 2005-03-18 13:47:58-07:00, kaos@sgi.com [IA64] Tighten up unw_unwind_to_user check Detect user space by the unwind frame with predicate PRED_USER_STACK set, instead of a user space IP. Tighten up the last ditch check for running off the top of the kernel stack. Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current tree. This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels. Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so gdb can get the user space registers.

The problem is that BIC is supposed to reset the cwnd to the last loss value rather than ssthresh when loss is detected. The correct code (from the BIC TCP code for Web100) is in this patch.
