Patches

diff-security-rstid-20060323

Patch from mainstream:

[TCP]: Do not use inet->id of global tcp_socket when sending RST.

The problem is in ip_push_pending_frames(), which uses:

if (!df) {
        __ip_select_ident(iph, &rt->u.dst, 0);
} else {
        iph->id = htons(inet->id++);
}

instead of ip_select_ident().

Right now I think the code is a nonsense. Most likely, I copied it from old ip_build_xmit(), where it was really special, we had to decide whether to generate unique ID when generating the first (well, the last) fragment.

In ip_push_pending_frames() it does not make sense, it should use plain ip_select_ident() instead.

OpenVZ Bug #131.

Bug #19952.

diff-vzdq-off-sync-20060407

Patch from Kirill:

vzquota off syncs inodes, so that inodes are synced one by one and waited for. This is slow.

This patch changes the logic: all inodes should be kicked for syncing first, and then only waited for. This makes VPS creation to be faster.

diff-ms-oops-decoding

Patch from Kirill:

Added sysctl variable to disable automatic call traces decoding. Required for machines not connected to any kind of console.

diff-ve-userhdrs-types-b

Patch from Kirill:
Fix of user space headers for vzctl.

Bug #61057.

diff-ve-ct-getorigdst-b-20060405

Patch from Dmitry:

diff-ve-net-ipt-proc-20060406

Patch from Dmitry:

Fixed oops on iptables proc entries access inside VPS if iptables are not permitted in this VPS.

Bug #60958.

diff-ve-setxattr-20060403

Patch from Vasiliy:

setxattr and getxattr have to check CAP_VE_ADMIN in order to return proper errors inside VE, similar to host.

Bug #59526.

diff-ve-exec-set-ve-links-20060403

Patch from Pavel:

If a non-leader thread calls exec it becomes a thread group leader and thus SET_VE_LINKS/REMOVE_VE_LINKS will manipulate list on this task. Meanwhile such task after exec will not be in list because it was not added there on fork. This may lead to creation of invisible by ps task, unstopable VPS, since do_initproc_exit will not find this task to kill it, and even ve task list corruption.

diff-ext3-vprintk-warns-b

Patch from Kirill:
This patch fixes OVZ kernel compilation with some new gcc.
