      [PATCH] Keys: Fix key serial number collision handling · 9ad0830f
      David Howells authored
      
      Fix the key serial number collision avoidance code in key_alloc_serial().
      
      This didn't use to be so much of a problem as the key serial numbers were
      allocated from a simple incremental counter, and it would have to go through
      two billion keys before it could possibly encounter a collision.  However, now
      that random numbers are used instead, collisions are much more likely.
      
      This is fixed by finding a hole in the rbtree where the next unused serial
      number ought to be and using that by going almost back to the top of the
      insertion routine and redoing the insertion with the new serial number rather
      than trying to be clever and attempting to work out the insertion point
      pointer directly.
      
      This fixes kernel BZ #7727.

      [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size · bbea9f69
      Vadim Lobanov authored
      
      Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
      fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
      fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
      of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
      
      In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
      limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
      and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
      larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
      
      Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
      place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
      patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
      code becomes simpler.

      [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking · 24ec839c
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      
      Fix the locking of signal->tty.
      
      Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
      by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
      or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
      
      (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
      
      Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
      tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
      are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
      access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
      
      It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
      
      (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
             be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
             it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
             invocations)
