I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very
simple IPv6 client-server program.
The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the
client side just sends a message to the server. Then the kernel panic
occurs on the server. (If you need the test program, please let me
know. I can provide it.)
This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in
tcp_rcv_state_process().
When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet,
then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from
tcp_rcv_state_process(). If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully
returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb().
However, in case of a listening socket which was already set
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in
treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in
tcp_v6_conn_request(). But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb
will be freed. Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the
kernel panic.
I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLs
Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an
ext2 or ext3 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by
a kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating
inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666,
and mkdir creates directories as 0777.
This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default
mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does,
unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[23] set MS_POSIXACL in
s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts.
We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[23]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test);
but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We
could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting
the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs).
Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.

reiserfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped
This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.
On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.
The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

read_zero_pagealigned() locking fix
Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645. Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there. It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.
The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected. So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.
Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there. And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that

I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext3 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext3_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext3_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext3.

i386: save/restore eflags in context switch (CVE-2006-5173)
(And reset it on new thread creation)
It turns out that eflags is important to save and restore not just
because of iopl, but due to the magic bits like the NT bit, which we
don't want leaking between different threads.

Fix incorrect user space access locking in mincore() (CVE-2006-4814)
Doug Chapman noticed that mincore() will doa "copy_to_user()" of the
result while holding the mmap semaphore for reading, which is a big
no-no. While a recursive read-lock on a semaphore in the case of a page
fault happens to work, we don't actually allow them due to deadlock
schenarios with writers due to fairness issues.
Doug and Marcel sent in a patch to fix it, but I decided to just rewrite
the mess instead - not just fixing the locking problem, but making the
code smaller and (imho) much easier to understand.
Also included are two fixes for the original patch including one
by Oleg Nesterov.

fuse: fix hang on SMP
Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused
rare hangs on SMP/32bit. This bug has been present since fuse-2.2,
well before being merged into mainline.
The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the
per-connection spinlock. Using i_mutex for this purpose would require
some restructuring of the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe
to acquire i_mutex in all places i_size needs to be set.
Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons,
duplicate the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls
internal to fuse.
Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this
function is only called on a newly created locked inode.
Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana
Henriksen who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.
