Hi all,
Changes since next-20080807:
New tree: creds
Removed tree: hwmon
Temporarily dropped tree: avr32 (conflicts with the arm-current tree)
The usb.current tree gained a conflict against the arm-current tree but
lost two build fixes patches.
The driver-core tree lost a boot fix patch.
The avr32 tree conflicted badly with the arm-current tree.
The ttydev tree gained a conflict against Linus' tree but it is not worth
reporting as the file in question has been removed by a further update to
Linus' tree.
The creds tree gained 2 conflicts against the cifs tree and 1 against the
xfs tree. It also required a build fix patch.
I have also applied the following patches for known problems:
Add cuImage.mpc866ads to the bootwrapper as a cuboot-8xx target
Revert "Input: expand keycode space"
xen-balloon: fix up sysfs issues
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have created today's linux-next tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git
(patches at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sfr/linux-next/). If you
are tracking the linux-next tree using git, you should not use "git pull"
to do so as that will try to merge the new linux-next release with the
old one. You should use "git fetch" as mentioned in the FAQ on the wiki
(see below).
You can see which trees have been included by looking in the Next/Trees
file in the source. There are also quilt-import.log and merge.log files
in the Next directory. Between each merge, the tree was built with
a ppc64_defconfig for powerpc and an allmodconfig for x86_64. After the
final fixups, it is also built with powerpc allnoconfig,
44x_defconfig and allyesconfig and i386, sparc and sparc64 defconfig.
Below is a summary of the state of the merge.
We are up to 108 trees (counting Linus' and 14 trees of patches pending for
Linus' tree), more are welcome (even if they are currently empty).
Thanks to those who have contributed, and to those who haven't, please do.
Status of my local build tests will be at
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/linux-next . If maintainers want to give
advice about cross compilers/configs that work, we are always open to add
more builds.
Thanks to Jan Dittmer for adding the linux-next tree to his build tests
at http://l4x.org/k/ , the guys at http://test.kernel.org/ and Randy
Dunlap for doing many randconfig builds.
There is a wiki covering stuff to do with linux-next at
http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/ . Thanks to Frank Seidel.

CRED: Pass credentials through dentry_open()
Pass credentials through dentry_open() so that the COW creds patch can have
SELinux's flush_unauthorized_files() pass the appropriate creds back to itself
when it opens its null chardev.
The security_dentry_open() call also now takes a creds pointer, as does the
dentry_open hook in struct security_operations.

There's also a <cred> build error in coda fs:
linux-next-20080808/fs/coda/file.c:177: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
coda1.out:make[3]: *** [fs/coda/file.o] Error 1

Something I noticed in the configs posted with build breakages is
CONFIG_SMP=n, although I'm not sure how/if that's related.
In any case, it seems that linux/cred.h should include linux/sched.h to
provide a full definition of 'struct task_struct', so that 'current' can
be dereferenced (e.g. in current_cred()).
Does this patch work for you and look correct ?

Not good. That makes sched.h and cred.h recursively dependent. sched.h
really needs splitting up, and the include dependencies need sorting.
However, for the moment I recommend the attached patch.

From: David Howells <[email protected]>
CRED: Fix inclusion problems
Under certain configurations, some .c files obtain linux/sched.h and/or
linux/cred.h through other include files, but not under all configurations.
A couple of places (one in Coda, one in nfsd) need extra includes.
