Greg Kroah-Hartman 47aa5793f7 device create: char: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata
device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free
device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away.

Jeff Moyer 38584c14bb [PATCH] raw: don't allow the creation of a raw device with minor number 0
Minor number 0 (under the raw major) is reserved for the rawctl device
file, which is used to query, set, and unset raw device bindings.  However,
the ioctl interface does not protect the user from specifying a raw device
with minor number 0:

$ sudo ./raw /dev/raw/raw0 /dev/VolGroup00/swap
/dev/raw/raw0:  bound to major 253, minor 2
$ ls -l /dev/rawctl
ls: /dev/rawctl: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /dev/raw/raw0
crw------- 1 root root 162, 0 Jan 12 10:51 /dev/raw/raw0
$ sudo ./raw -qa
Cannot open master raw device '/dev/rawctl' (No such file or directory)

As you can see, this prevents any further raw operations from
succeeding.  The fix (from Steve Fernandez) is quite simple--do not
allow the allocation of minor number 0.

Badari Pulavarty 543ade1fc9 [PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanups
This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces.  Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods.  This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.

Final available interfaces:

generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler

__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine

Stephen Tweedie e72022e13d [PATCH] Fix filp being passed through raw ioctl handler
Don't pass meaningless file handles to block device ioctls.

The recent raw IO ioctl-passthrough fix started passing the raw file
handle into the block device ioctl handler.  That's unlikely to be
useful, as the file handle is actually open on a character-mode raw
device, not a block device, so dereferencing it is not going to yield
useful results to a block device ioctl handler.

Previously we just passed NULL; also not a value that can usefully
be dereferenced, but at least if it does happen, we'll oops instead of
silently pretending that the file is a block device, so NULL is the more
defensive option here.  This patch reverts to that behaviour.

Noticed by Al Viro.

Stephen Tweedie 68f66feb30 [PATCH] Fix root hole in raw device
[Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through

Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block
devices they are bound to.  Unfortunately, they are using the wrong
function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl().

ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl,
redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space.
This is, needless to say, a bad thing.

This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning.  The
s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which
was the first part of the problem.  Secondly, the s390 kernel address
space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail.  I've
reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails
in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side;
returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.)

The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems.  It's
based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has
been tested on s390 at IBM.  I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address
space) and x86_64 (common address space).

Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
