The security_sb_post_mountroot() hook is long-since obsolete, and is
fundamentally broken: it is never invoked if someone uses initramfs.
This is particularly damaging, because the existence of this hook has
been used as motivation for not using initramfs.
Stephen Smalley confirmed on 2007-07-19 that this hook was originally
used by SELinux but can now be safely removed:

Adds security_get_sb_mnt_opts, security_set_sb_mnt_opts, and
security_clont_sb_mnt_opts to the LSM and to SELinux. This will allow
filesystems to directly own and control all of their mount options if they
so choose. This interface deals only with option identifiers and strings so
it should generic enough for any LSM which may come in the future.
Filesystems which pass text mount data around in the kernel (almost all of
them) need not currently make use of this interface when dealing with
SELinux since it will still parse those strings as it always has. I assume
future LSM's would do the same. NFS is the primary FS which does not use
text mount data and thus must make use of this interface.
An LSM would need to implement these functions only if they had mount time
options, such as selinux has context= or fscontext=. If the LSM has no
mount time options they could simply not implement and let the dummy ops
take care of things.
An LSM other than SELinux would need to define new option numbers in
security.h and any FS which decides to own there own security options would
need to be patched to use this new interface for every possible LSM. This
is because it was stated to me very clearly that LSM's should not attempt to
understand FS mount data and the burdon to understand security should be in
the FS which owns the options.

if (c == 0 && tx == NULL)

The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code
the system leaks some of the hugepages.
-------------------------------------------------------
Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 5500
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
Just before shutdown:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 4475
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
After shutdown:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 4988
HugePages_Rsvd:
0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
----------------------------------------------------------
The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2
that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module
memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload.
The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of
a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach,
it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space
and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do
with keys that are in module space.

Linux does not want BIOS writers to invoke _OSI(Linux) -
for in the field it causes more Windows incompatibility problems
than it solves.
So when it is seen in the BIOS for an Intel Customer Reference Board,
Linux should ignore its effect by default, and should complain loudly.
Otherwise, the reference BIOS will go unfixed, and the bad BIOS
will spread to the field.

As it is ip_append_data only counts page fragments to the skb that

all subsequent skb's that use the same page gets away with no charge
at all.

Changeset 16b110c3fd (dmfe warning fix)

The change made transformations like turning:
"srom + 34"
into
"(__le32 *)srom + 34/4"
which doesn't work because 4 does not divide evenly
into 34 so we're using a different pointer offset
than in the original code.
I've changed theses cases in dmfe_parse_srom() to
