* [PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709)Al Viro2005-11-081-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky, you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode. So this is at least an Oops and possibly more. It does depend on an interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would otherwise be.

* [PATCH] s390: deadlock in appldataGerald Schaefer2005-06-044-35/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a large number of devices. The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e. interrupt context, which can lead to a deadlock. Replace tasklet with work queue.

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!
