[PATCH] firewire: core: fix an information leak
If a device exposes a sparsely populated configuration ROM, firewire-core's sysfs interface and character device file interface showed random data in the gaps between config ROM blocks. Fix this by zero-initialization of the config ROM reader's scratch buffer. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr(a)s5r6.in-berli... 19 Feb 2010 15:30

[PATCH 5/7] ext3: use nofail variant of inode_setattr()
After we updated i_disk_size and stop the journal it is too late for error handling from inode_setattr(). Since inode_change_ok() is now responsible for all necessery checks we may call __inode_setattr() which can not fail.

[PATCH 3/7] vfs: do not allow inode_setattr() to fail after vfs_dq_transfer()
After quota was transfered, inode_setattr() may fail. This is tricky situation because it may be impossible to roll-back quota changes. But we have already done all necessery changes in inode_change_ok() so it is safe to use nofail version of inode_seattr() here.

[PATCH 2/7] vfs: inode_change_ok have to perform all necessery checks
Usually this is the only function which called before inode attributes manipulation. In fact inode_change_ok() performs only posix checks. But it new_size check is also important. Otherwise we mail fail in very late stage. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov(a)openvz.org> --- fs/attr.c | 19 ++++... 19 Feb 2010 15:30

[PATCH 3/3] sdhci-pltfm: Do not print errors in case of an extended iomem size
Some hosts have an extended SDHCI iomem size, so the driver should only print errors if the iomem size is less than 0x100.
