[patch 1/7] ieee1394/sbp2: fixes for hot-unplug and module unloading

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: ieee1394-sbp2-fixes-for-hot-unplug-and-module-unloading.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3910 bytes --]

From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Fixes for reference counting problems, deadlocks, and delays when SBP-2 devices
are unplugged or unbound from sbp2, or when unloading of sbp2/ ohci1394/ pcilynx
is attempted.

Most often reported symptoms were hotplugs remaining undetected once a FireWire
disk was unplugged since the knodemgrd kernel thread went to uninterruptible
sleep, and "modprobe -r sbp2" being unable to complete because still being in
use.

Patch is equivalent to commit abd559b1052e28d8b9c28aabde241f18fa89090b in
2.6.14-rc3 plus a fix which is necessary together with 2.6.13's scsi core API
(linux1394.org commit r1308 by Ben Collins).

[patch 2/7] orinoco: Information leakage due to incorrect padding

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: orinoco-info-leak.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1460 bytes --]

From: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

The orinoco driver can send uninitialized data exposing random pieces of
the system memory.  This happens because data is not padded with zeroes
when its length needs to be increased.

[patch 3/7] [TCP]: BIC coding bug in Linux 2.6.13

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: tcp-congestion-control-bug.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 977 bytes --]

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

Please consider this change for 2.6.13-stable   Since BIC is
the default congestion control algorithm, this fix is quite
important.

Missing parenthesis in causes BIC to be slow in increasing congestion
window.

[patch 6/7] Avoid 'names_cache' memory leak with CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: plug-names_cache-memleak.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1373 bytes --]

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Avoid 'names_cache' memory leak with CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL

The nameidata "last.name" is always allocated with "__getname()", and
should always be free'd with "__putname()".

Using "putname()" without the underscores will leak memory, because the
allocation will have been hidden from the AUDITSYSCALL code.

Arguably the real bug is that the AUDITSYSCALL code is really broken,
but in the meantime this fixes the problem people see.

Reported by Robert Derr, patch by Rick Lindsley.
