epoll can acquire recursively acquire ep->mtx on multiple "struct
eventpoll"s at once in the case where one epoll fd is monitoring another
epoll fd. This is perfectly OK, since we're careful about the lock
ordering, but it causes spurious lockdep warnings. Annotate the recursion
using mutex_lock_nested, and add a comment explaining the nesting rules
for good measure.
Recent versions of systemd are triggering this, and it can also be
demonstrated with the following trivial test program:

int main(void) {
int e1, e2;

When compiling an i386_defconfig kernel with gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.i686, I
noticed a warning about the asm operand for test_bit in kprobes'
can_boost. I discovered that this caused only the first long of
twobyte_is_boostable[] to be output.
Jakub filed and fixed gcc PR50571 to correct the warning and this output
issue. But to solve it for less current gcc, we can make kprobes'
twobyte_is_boostable[] non-const, and it won't be optimized out.

There are 2 situations wherein the xhci_ring* might not get freed:
- When xhci_ring_alloc() -> xhci_segment_alloc() returns NULL and
we goto the fail: label in xhci_ring_alloc. In this case, the ring
will not get kfreed.
- When the num_segs argument to xhci_ring_alloc is passed as 0 and
we try to free the rung after that.

If the usermode app does an ioctl over this serial device by

This will be woken up by the qt2_process_modem_status on URB
completion when the port_extra->shadowMSR is set to the new
modem status.
However, this could result in a lost wakeup scenario due to a race
in the logic in the qt2_ioctl(TIOCMIWAIT) loop and the URB completion
for new modem status in qt2_process_modem_status.
Due to this, the usermode app's task will continue to sleep despite a

In an enclosure model where there are chaining expanders to a large body
of storage, it was discovered that libsas, responding to a broadcast
event change, would only revalidate the domain of first child expander
in the list.
The issue is that the pointer value to the discovered source device was
used to break out of the loop, rather than the content of the pointer.
This still remains non-compliant as the revalidate domain code is
supposed to loop through all child expanders, and not stop at the first
one it finds that reports a change count. However, the design of this
routine does not allow multiple device discoveries and that would be a
more complicated set of patches reserved for another day. We are fixing
the glaring bug rather than refactoring the code.

Commit 3321c07ae5068568cd61ac9f4ba749006a7185c9 correctly clears the TPM
buffer if the user specified read length is >= the TPM buffer length. However,
if the user specified read length is < the TPM buffer length, then part of the
TPM buffer is left uncleared.
This patch changes the call of tpm_transmit by supplying the size of the
userspace buffer instead of TPM_BUFSIZE.
This got assigned CVE-2011-1161.
[The first hunk didn't make sense given one could expect
way less data than TPM_BUFSIZE, so added tpm_transmit boundary
check over bufsiz instead
The last parameter of tpm_transmit() reflects the amount
of data expected from the device, and not the buffer size
being supplied to it. It isn't ideal to parse it directly,
so we just set it to the maximum the input buffer can handle
and let the userspace API to do such job.]

Currently, the hvc_console_print() function drops console output if the
hvc backend's put_chars() returns 0. This patch changes this behavior
to allow a retry through returning -EAGAIN.
This change also affects the hvc_push() function. Both functions are
changed to handle -EAGAIN and to retry the put_chars() operation.
If a hvc backend returns -EAGAIN, the retry handling differs:
- hvc_console_print() spins to write the complete console output.
- hvc_push() behaves the same way as for returning 0.
Now hvc backends can indirectly control the way how console output is
handled through the hvc console layer.

During the association, the regulatory is updated by country IE
that reaps the previously found beacons. The impact is that
after a STA disconnects *or* when for any reason a regulatory
domain change happens the beacon hint flag is not cleared
therefore preventing future beacon hints to be learned.
This is important as a regulatory domain change or a restore
of regulatory settings would set back the passive scan and no-ibss
flags on the channel. This is the right place to do this given that
it covers any regulatory domain change.

DA850/OMAP-L138 EMAC driver uses random mac address instead of
a fixed one because the mac address is not stuffed into EMAC
platform data.
This patch provides a function which reads the mac address
stored in SPI flash (registered as MTD device) and populates the
EMAC platform data. The function which reads the mac address is
registered as a callback which gets called upon addition of MTD
device.
NOTE: In case the MAC address stored in SPI flash is erased, follow
the instructions at [1] to restore it.
Modifications in v2:
Guarded registering the mtd_notifier only when MTD is enabled.
Earlier this was handled using mtd_has_partitions() call, but
this has been removed in Linux v3.0.
Modifications in v3:
a. Guarded da850_evm_m25p80_notify_add() function and
da850evm_spi_notifier structure with CONFIG_MTD macros.
b. Renamed da850_evm_register_mtd_user() function to
da850_evm_setup_mac_addr() and removed the struct mtd_notifier
argument to this function.
c. Passed the da850evm_spi_notifier structure to register_mtd_user()
function.

Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They
were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow
arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[].
Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust
the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and
size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb:
->data_len is not decreased at all.
->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag.
Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return
-EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall.
In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the
driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using
napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is
reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver
decides to switch from the former to the latter.
Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat:
- on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null
- on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero
- on machine1:
echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use skbs
echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use pages
- See that nc has quit suddenly.

Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path.
This patch fixes this.
Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g.,
IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether,
when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead.
I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment
the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message. Someone
should add that to be 100% correct.

- Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices)
- The user has permissions to use
Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and
typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway.
Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that
also don't have host drivers. We don't want users to hold such devices
captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu
domain. We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user
has access to the PCI sysfs resource files. By default a normal user
will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication
that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.

Fixes a possible memory corruption when the link is larger than
MAXPATHLEN and XFS_DEBUG is not enabled. This also remove the
S_ISLNK assert, since the inode mode is checked previously in
xfs_readlink_by_handle() and via VFS.
Updated to address concerns raised by Ben Hutchings about the loose
attention paid to 32- vs 64-bit values, and the lack of handling a
potentially negative pathlen value:
- Changed type of "pathlen" to be xfs_fsize_t, to match that of
ip->i_d.di_size
- Added checking for a negative pathlen to the too-long pathlen
test, and generalized the message that gets reported in that case
to reflect the change
As a result, if a negative pathlen were encountered, this function
would return EFSCORRUPTED (and would fail an assertion for a debug

The name_len variable in CIFSFindNext is a signed int that gets set to
the resume_name_len in the cifs_search_info. The resume_name_len however
is unsigned and for some infolevels is populated directly from a 32 bit
value sent by the server.
If the server sends a very large value for this, then that value could
look negative when converted to a signed int. That would make that
value pass the PATH_MAX check later in CIFSFindNext. The name_len would
then be used as a length value for a memcpy. It would then be treated
as unsigned again, and the memcpy scribbles over a ton of memory.
Fix this by making the name_len an unsigned value in CIFSFindNext.

Commit 503358ae01b70ce6909d19dd01287093f6b6271c ("ext4: avoid divide by
zero when trying to mount a corrupted file system") fixes CVE-2009-4307
by performing a sanity check on s_log_groups_per_flex, since it can be
set to a bogus value by an attacker.
This patch fixes two potential issues in the previous commit.
1) The sanity check might only work on architectures like PowerPC.
On x86, 5 bits are used for the shifting amount. That means, given a
large s_log_groups_per_flex value like 36, groups_per_flex = 1 << 36
is essentially 1 << 4 = 16, rather than 0. This will bypass the check,
leaving s_log_groups_per_flex and groups_per_flex inconsistent.
2) The sanity check relies on undefined behavior, i.e., oversized shift.
A standard-confirming C compiler could rewrite the check in unexpected
ways. Consider the following equivalent form, assuming groups_per_flex
is unsigned for simplicity.
We compile the code snippet using Clang 3.0 and GCC 4.6. Clang will
completely optimize away the check groups_per_flex == 0, leaving the
patched code as vulnerable as the original. GCC keeps the check, but
there is no guarantee that future versions will do the same.

In the spirit of commit 29cf7a30f8a0 ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS
info on ASUS M2V-MX SE"), this DMI quirk turns on "pci_use_crs" by
default on a board that needs it.
This fixes boot failures and oopses introduced in 3e3da00c01d0
("x86/pci: AMD one chain system to use pci read out res"). The quirk
is quite targetted (to a specific board and BIOS version) for two
reasons:
(1) to emphasize that this method of tackling the problem one quirk
at a time is a little insane
(2) to give BIOS vendors an opportunity to use simpler tables and
allow us to return to generic behavior (whatever that happens to
be) with a later BIOS update
In other words, I am not at all happy with having quirks like this.
But it is even worse for the kernel not to work out of the box on
these machines, so...
If the provided system call number is equal to __NR_syscalls, the
current check will pass and a function pointer just after the system
call table may be called, since sys_call_table is an array with total
size __NR_syscalls.
Whether or not this is a security bug depends on what the compiler puts
immediately after the system call table. It's likely that this won't do
anything bad because there is an additional NULL check on the syscall
entry, but if there happens to be a non-NULL value immediately after the
system call table, this may result in local privilege escalation.
Dan Rosenberg noted that various drivers return the struct with uncleared
fields. Instead of spending forever trying to stomp all the drivers that
get it wrong (and every new driver) do the job in one place.
This first patch adds the needed operations and hooks them up, including
the needed USB midlayer and serial core plumbing.
