The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM
records as described in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html
and addresses the comments I received on the record field names.
To summarize, I made the following changes:
1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM
record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case.
This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl(). I could simplify the
code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean
that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record
without an IPC record and that seemed odd.
2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward
compatibility question.
3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record. It wasn't being
set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the
information isn't available. If we want the information in the IPC
record, more extensive changes will be necessary. Since it only
applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it
doesn't seem worth it.
4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record. This means that
the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed.
5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names. Replaced iuid and
igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record.
I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box. I believe it
applies cleanly on the latest kernel.

Just a few minor proposed updates. Only the last one will
actually affect behavior. The rest are just misleading
code.
Several AUDIT_SET functions return 'old' value, but only
return value <0 is checked for. So just return 0.
propagate audit_set_rate_limit and audit_set_backlog_limit
error values
In audit_buffer_free, the audit_freelist_count was being
incremented even when we discard the return buffer, so
audit_freelist_count can end up wrong. This could cause
the actual freelist to shrink over time, eventually
threatening to degrate audit performance.

We should not send a pile of replies while holding audit_netlink_mutex
since we hold the same mutex when we receive commands. As the result,
we can get blocked while sending and sit there holding the mutex while
auditctl is unable to send the next command and get around to receiving
what we'd sent.
Solution: create skb and put them into a queue instead of sending;
once we are done, send what we've got on the list. The former can
be done synchronously while we are handling AUDIT_LIST or AUDIT_LIST_RULES;
we are holding audit_netlink_mutex at that point. The latter is done
asynchronously and without messing with audit_netlink_mutex.

The following series of patches introduces a kernel API for inotify,
making it possible for kernel modules to benefit from inotify's
mechanism for watching inodes. With these patches, inotify will
maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct
inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a
corresponding struct inode. The caller registers an event handler and
specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be
called per inotify_watch.

arm_timer() checks PF_EXITING to prevent BUG_ON(->exit_state)

However, for some reason it does so only for CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD

Also, this check is not reliable, PF_EXITING could be set on
another cpu without any locks/barriers just after the check,
so it can't prevent from attaching the timer to the exiting

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents

arm_timer() tries to protect against this race, but the check

After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.
At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were
cleanuped in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(),
so we can just return from irq.

Some time ago the cdrom open routine was changed so that we call the
driver's open routine before checking to see if it is read only. However,
if we discovered that a read write open was not possible and the open
flags required a writable open, we just returned -EROFS without calling
the driver's release routine. This seems to work for most cdrom drivers,
but breaks the Powerpc iSeries virtual cdrom rather badly.
This just inserts the release call in the error path to balance the call

I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while
building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to
rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs.
A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp.
However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they
were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL)
was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards.
After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a
time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity.
Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11.
Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems,
does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super. A few more such
discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now.

IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno)
is incorrect. it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the
problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we
don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious).
with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is
fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been
acked by the receiver.
without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the
receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets.
think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example
every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets
full.
with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the
rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there
is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were
lost.
without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up
retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our
slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these
unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually
prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.

People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as
used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of
data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530.
I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the
actual cause.
The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c. What
happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in
drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty. That copies all
the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls
check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which
calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup,
which calls tasklet_schedule. So far so good. Since we are in
process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls
ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the
tty->driver->write function to send some more output.
However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master
tty->receive_room is still zero. We haven't returned from
check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room
_after_ calling check_unthrottle. That means that the driver->write
call in ppp_async_process() returns 0. That would be fine if we were
going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it,
and the buffer is now empty).
The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_
calling the driver unthrottle routine. The patch below does this.
With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP
connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the
connection would always stall in under a minute.
