[PATCH 1/2] syslog: distinguish between /proc/kmsg and syscalls
This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls. By default, the commoncaps will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg file descriptor. For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop privileges after opening /proc/kms... 3 Feb 2010 15:08

networking tcp: Writing tcp socket be atomic
Locking belongs inside of the application, not in the kernel. As evidenced by the fact that you had to add new socket options, the application needs to be modified anyways. It's therefore just as easy to add the appropriate locking to the sequences where the application writes over the TCP socket. And it av... 3 Feb 2010 12:51
