2006-07-14[PATCH] ia64: race flushing icache in COW pathAnil Keshavamurthy
There is a race condition that showed up in a threaded JIT environment. The situation is that a process with a JIT code page forks, so the page is marked read-only, then some threads are created in the child. One of the threads attempts to add a new code block to the JIT page, so a copy-on-write fault is taken, and the kernel allocates a new page, copies the data, installs the new pte, and then calls lazy_mmu_prot_update() to flush caches to make sure that the icache and dcache are in sync. Unfortunately, the other thread runs right after the new pte is installed, but before the caches have been flushed. It tries to execute some old JIT code that was already in this page, but it sees some garbage in the i-cache from the previous users of the new physical page. Fix: we must make the caches consistent before installing the pte. This is an ia64 only fix because lazy_mmu_prot_update() is a no-op on all other architectures.

2.6.16 leaks like hell.

2006-07-13[NET]: Update frag_list in pskb_trimHerbert Xu
When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming. This will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length or tail from the frag_list. Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment. Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet with a frag_list attached. It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix and update frag_list. Many thanks to Marco Berizzi for helping me to track down this bug. This 4-year old bug took 3 months to track down. Marco was very patient indeed :) Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
