2011-05-28ncpfs: fix rename over directory with dangling referencesSage Weil
ncpfs does not handle references to unlinked directories (or so it would seem given the ncp_rmdir check). Since it is also possible to rename over an empty directory, perform the same check here.

2011-05-27fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inodeChristoph Hellwig
Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

2011-05-27selinux: don't pass in NULL avd to avc_has_perm_noauditLinus Torvalds
Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy entry for that case and just generally test it. Don't do it. The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this helper function is incredibly hot. So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit() do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case. This also avoids some duplicated stack space.

2011-05-27w1: add 1-wire (w1) reset and resume command API supportJean-François Dagenais
The first patch adds generic functionnality to w1_io for Resume Command [A5h] lots of slaves support. I found it useful for multi-commands/reset workflows with the same slave on a multi-slave bus. This DS2408 w1 slave driver is not complete for all the features of the chip, but its sufficient if you use it as a simple IO expander. Enjoy! The ds1wm had Kconfig dependencies towards ARM && HAVE_CLK. I took them out since I was using the ds1wm on an x86_64 platform (ds1wm in a FPGA through pcie) and found them irrelevant. The clock freq/divisors at the top of ds1wm.c did not have the MSB set to 1. This bit is CLK_EN which turns the whole prescaler and dividers on. The driver never mentionned this bit either, so I just included this bit right in the table entries. I also took the liberty to add a couple of entries to the table. The spec doesn't explicitely mentions these possibilities but the description and examination of the core shows the prescalers & dividers can be used for more than the table explicitely shows. The table I enlarged still doesn't cover all possibilities, but it's a good start. I also made a few tweaks to a couple of the read and write algorithms which made sense while I had my head very deep in the ds1wm documentation. We stressed it a lot with 10+ slaves on the bus, many ds2408, ds2431 and ds2433 at the same time doing extensive interaction. It proved quite stable in our production environment.

2011-05-27fs/partitions/efi.c: corrupted GUID partition tables can cause kernel oopsTimo Warns
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables. This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death"). crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size)); computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes. There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call. A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size. In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow. Validate value of GUID partition table header size.
