      Delete the __FD_*() funcs for operating on fd_set from linux/time.h · cf420048

      Delete the __FD_*() functions for operating on fd_set structs from
      linux/time.h as they're no longer used within the kernel with the preceding
      patch and are not exported to userspace.
      
      Whilst linux/time.h *does* export the FD_*() equivalents as wrappers around
      __FD_*(), userspace provides its own definition of __FD_*().
      
      Note that the definition of FD_ZERO() in linux/time.h may not be used with the
      fd_sets associated with struct fdtable as the fd_set may have been allocated in
      a truncated fashion.

      Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs · 1fd36adc
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then
      use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros.
      
      This:
      
       (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set:
      
           (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the
           	 time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of
           	 unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the
           	 fd_set at all?
      
           (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as
           	 SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside
           	 the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set.
      
       (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely.
      
       (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to
           userspace.

      Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable · 1dce27c5
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and
      close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we
      abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under
      normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the
      fd_sets.
      
      The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted,
      since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths.
      
      This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing
      close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags:
      
      	void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
      	void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
      	bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
      
      Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because
      they require the caller to hold a lock to use them.
      
      Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the
      the array.  Possibly that should exist too.

      pcmcia: fix socket refcount decrementing on each resume · 025e4ab3
      Russell King authored
      This fixes a memory-corrupting bug: not only does it cause the warning,
      but as a result of dropping the refcount to zero, it causes the
      pcmcia_socket0 device structure to be freed while it still has
      references, causing slab caches corruption.  A fatal oops quickly
      follows this warning - often even just a 'dmesg' following the warning
      causes the kernel to oops.
      
      While testing suspend/resume on an ARM device with PCMCIA support, and a
      CF card inserted, I found that after five suspend and resumes, the
      kernel would complain, and shortly die after with slab corruption.
      
        WARNING: at include/linux/kref.h:41 kobject_get+0x28/0x50()
      
      As the message doesn't give a clue about which kobject, and the built-in
      debugging in drivers/base/power/main.c happens too late, this was added
      right before each get_device():
      
        printk("%s: %p [%s] %u\n", __func__, dev, kobject_name(&dev->kobj), atomic_read(&dev->kobj.kref.refcount));

       ("pcmcia: split up central event handler"),
      the following change was made to cs.c:

      As can be seen, the original function called pcmcia_get_socket() and
      pcmcia_put_socket() around the guts, whereas the replacement code
      calls pcmcia_put_socket() only in one path.  This creates an imbalance
      in the refcounting.
      
      Testing with pcmcia_put_socket() put removed shows that the bug is gone:
