Subject: [git pull] more vfs fixes
Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 04:57:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110309045725.GA22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
Several fixes for Nick's RCU stuff; open() without O_CREAT
can be tricked into creating files, ->d_compare() in /proc/sys is trying
and failing to be RCU-safe (strictly speaking not a regression, but only
because it will be kicked out of RCU mode by ->permission() refusing
to accept IPERM_FLAG_RCU) and spurious errors in open() and vfs_path_lookup()
since we forget to set nd->inode on the LOOKUP_REVAL attempt. More fixes
tomorrow... Please, pull from
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git/ for-linus
Shortlog:
Al Viro (3):
minimal fix for do_filp_open() race
unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare()
nd->inode is not set on the second attempt in path_walk()
