Fix BeFS slab corruption

2006-11-20T21:25:17+00:00

In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported: "The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory corruption. This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a multiple of 4 bytes in length. [...] Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable for me. (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).) Steps to reproduce: Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g., "1", "22", "333", "4444", ... Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find"" This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

remove unused fs/befs/attribute.c

2005-11-08T15:54:53+00:00

If anyone needs a fully-functional befs driver, the easiest route to that would probably be getting Haiku's befs driver to compile in userland as a FUSE fs. At any rate, attribute.c can go. It is easy enough to add back in if anyone ever wants to do the (relativly minor) refactoring nessisary to get it working. Signed-off-by: Will Dyson Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

This is the fs/ part of the big kfree cleanup patch. Remove pointless checks for NULL prior to calling kfree() in fs/. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] befs: use generic_ro_fops

No need to duplicate a generic readonly file ops table in befs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

befs: fix up missed follow_link declaration change

2005-08-20T20:20:01+00:00

We'd updated the prototype and the return value, but not the function declaration itself.

[PATCH] Fix up symlink function pointers

2005-08-20T01:08:21+00:00

This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change: * afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs, smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link() * befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link() Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
