2007-07-24nfsd: fix possible oops on re-insertion of rpcsec_gss modulesJ. Bruce Fields
The handling of the re-registration case is wrong here; the "test" that was returned from auth_domain_lookup will not be used again, so that reference should be put. And auth_domain_lookup never did anything with "new" in this case, so we should just clean it up ourself. Thanks to Akinobu Mita for bug report, analysis, and testing.

2007-07-229p: Don't use binary sysctl numbers.Eric W. Biederman
The recent 9p commit: bd238fb431f31989898423c8b6496bc8c4204a86 that supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers. And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast path in any case. So this patch just remove the binary numbers. See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details. While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as well so there is less to read.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

2007-07-19SELinux: enable dynamic activation/deactivation of NetLabel/SELinux enforcementPaul Moore
Create a new NetLabel KAPI interface, netlbl_enabled(), which reports on the current runtime status of NetLabel based on the existing configuration. LSMs that make use of NetLabel, i.e. SELinux, can use this new function to determine if they should perform NetLabel access checks. This patch changes the NetLabel/SELinux glue code such that SELinux only enforces NetLabel related access checks when netlbl_enabled() returns true. At present NetLabel is considered to be enabled when there is at least one labeled protocol configuration present. The result is that by default NetLabel is considered to be disabled, however, as soon as an administrator configured a CIPSO DOI definition NetLabel is enabled and SELinux starts enforcing NetLabel related access controls - including unlabeled packet controls. This patch also tries to consolidate the multiple "#ifdef CONFIG_NETLABEL" blocks into a single block to ease future review as recommended by Linus.

2007-07-18[NET]: move dev_mc_discard from dev_mcast.c to dev.cDenis Cheng
Because this function is only called by unregister_netdevice, this moving could make this non-global function static, and also remove its declaration in netdevice.h; Any further, function __dev_addr_discard is also just called by dev_mc_discard and dev_unicast_discard, keeping this two functions both in one c file could make __dev_addr_discard also static and remove its declaration in netdevice.h; Futhermore, the sequential call to dev_unicast_discard and then dev_mc_discard in unregister_netdevice have a similar mechanism that: (netif_tx_lock_bh / __dev_addr_discard / netif_tx_unlock_bh), they should merged into one to eliminate duplicates in acquiring and releasing the dev->_xmit_lock, this would be done in my following patch.
