Subject: [patch 38/39] Normal user can panic NFS client with direct I/O (CVE-2006-0555)

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

This is CVE-2006-0555 and SGI bug 946529. A normal user can panic an

Also broken in 2.6.15.5 it seems :-/

fs/nfs/direct.c: In function 'nfs_get_user_pages':
fs/nfs/direct.c:110: warning: implicit declaration of function 'nfs_free_user_pages'
fs/nfs/direct.c: At top level:
fs/nfs/direct.c:127: warning: conflicting types for 'nfs_free_user_pages'
fs/nfs/direct.c:127: error: static declaration of 'nfs_free_user_pages' follows non-static declaration
fs/nfs/direct.c:110: error: previous implicit declaration of 'nfs_free_user_pages' was here

Some function juggling should do the trick.

Indeed, the diff below effectively replaces what's in 2.6.15.5 with
what Trond had sent me. Should fix the compile error and keep in sync
with what's going upstream.

Compile fix:

fs/nfs/direct.c: In function 'nfs_get_user_pages':
fs/nfs/direct.c:110: warning: implicit declaration of function 'nfs_free_user_pages'
fs/nfs/direct.c: At top level:
fs/nfs/direct.c:127: warning: conflicting types for 'nfs_free_user_pages'
fs/nfs/direct.c:127: error: static declaration of 'nfs_free_user_pages' follows non-static declaration
fs/nfs/direct.c:110: error: previous implicit declaration of 'nfs_free_user_pages' was here

This should now be the same as fix that's going upstream.
