Package: src:linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-39 Severity: important [Actually based on 2.6.32.50-rc1.] i2c-algo-bit: Generate correct i2c address sequence for 10-bit target Fixes addressing of some I2C devices on a bit-banged bus, which would otherwise be inacessible. Hardware support, I suppose. eCryptfs: Extend array bounds for all filename chars Fixes trivial information leak (not user data but constant data from the module). PCI hotplug: shpchp: don't blindly claim non-AMD 0x7450 device IDs Fixes device matching for this driver, part of our bug #638863. ARM: 7161/1: errata: no automatic store buffer drain Has no effect on Debian configurations. ALSA: lx6464es - fix device communication via command bus This is apparently not necessary and I expect this will be dropped. SUNRPC: Ensure we return EAGAIN in xs_nospace if congestion is cleared Fixes spurious SunRPC communication failures, which I assume affect NFS reliability. timekeeping: add arch_offset hook to ktime_get functions Has no effect on Debian release architectures, but apparently fixes reporting of the monotonic clock time on alpha and m68k. p54spi: Add missing spin_lock_init p54spi: Fix workqueue deadlock Fix deadlocks in this wireless network driver. nl80211: fix MAC address validation I think this fixes an information leak or (unlikely) local DoS exploitable with CAP_NET_ADMIN, when using a wireless network device. gro: reset vlan_tci on reuse This should fix CVE-2011-1576. We already have a different fix. staging: usbip: bugfix for deadlock Fixes a potential deadlock when using this protocol for remote USB. staging: comedi: fix oops for USB DAQ devices. Fixes crash if one of these devices is unplugged while in use. Staging: comedi: fix signal handling in read and write Fixes a bug that would appear to delay killing a process using COMEDI (data acquisitoon) devices. The bug may have worse effects; I'm not sure but the fix is pretty obvious. USB: whci-hcd: fix endian conversion in qset_clear() Fixes operation of Wireless USB on big-endian architectures. usb: ftdi_sio: add PID for Propox ISPcable III usb: option: add SIMCom SIM5218 USB: usb-storage: unusual_devs entry for Kingston DT 101 G2 More new hardware support. SCSI: scsi_lib: fix potential NULL dereference Mitigation for kernel bugs that result in an invalid SCSI request. Such a bug should result in an assertion failure with a meaningful log message, rather than an 'oops'. SCSI: Silencing 'killing requests for dead queue' Replaces a dubious informational message with more accurate messages. cifs: fix cifs stable patch cifs-fix-oplock-break-handling-try-2.patch This adds a missing piece of a previous fix made in 2.6.32.32. These fixes relate to 'oplock break' messages, by which the CIFS server tells us to stop caching a file that another client is accessing. It looks like the change in 2.6.32.32 could disable read caching when the server only tells us to disable write caching, and this corrects that. sched, x86: Avoid unnecessary overflow in sched_clock Fixes crash after the system has been running for 2^54 ns (208.5 days). x86/mpparse: Account for bus types other than ISA and PCI Fixes crash at boot on some systems with EISA (our bug #586494). oprofile, x86: Fix crash when unloading module (nmi timer mode) The description seems clear enough. genirq: Fix race condition when stopping the irq thread Some IRQ handlers are configured to run in threads. This fixes a bug that can cause such a thread to hang rather than exiting when the handler is removed. tick-broadcast: Stop active broadcast device when replacing it clockevents: Set noop handler in clockevents_exchange_device() Tick broadcast is a generic facility for waking up processors that have their own interrupt timers but on which the timers stop when they enter a low-power state. If there are multiple clock devices suitable for this purpose then they might both be enabled, when only one should be. I'm not sure quite what the result of that would be, but it's certainly not good. These changes fix that bug.
