[PATCH] NTFS: Critical bug fix (affects MIPS and possibly others)
It fixes a crash in NTFS on architectures where flush_dcache_page()
is a real function. I never noticed this as all my testing is done on

I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong. If

it needs to return 0.

[PATCH] tmpfs: time granularity fix for [acm]time going backwards
I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while
building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to
rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs.
A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp.
However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they
were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL)
was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards.
After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a
time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity.
Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11.
Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems,
does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super. A few more such
discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now.

[PATCH] Missed error checking for intent's filp in open_namei().
It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned
through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp).
If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside
__path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open
is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only
called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet.
Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and
intent.open.file may be filled. If it is filled with error value of some
sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as
address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from
filp_open().
While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just
checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as
needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return
"yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup
again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with
potential extra costly RPCs).
So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling
for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this
simple patch as a solution.

[PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix
Fix an infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called
from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages.
Could sleep while interrupts disabled.
The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in
mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is
allowed in the current tasks cpuset. This routine can sleep,
for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory
node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed
in a parent cpuset.
But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor
if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in
gfp_flags).
The rule was intended to be:
Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.
This rule was being violated due to a bogus change made (by myself,
pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to
cleanup its logic.
The bogus change can be seen at:

[PATCH] page migration: Fix fallback behavior for dirty pages
Currently we check PageDirty() in order to make the decision to swap out
the page. However, the dirty information may be only be contained in the
ptes pointing to the page. We need to first unmap the ptes before checking
for PageDirty(). If unmap is successful then the page count of the page
will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.
This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17. Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions. Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages. Migration of dirty pages can result in the
filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages.
Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping. Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful. However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.
The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code
so that this is no longer necessary.

[PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem
Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.
In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op. Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing. In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out. However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false. This will abort all subsequent
migrations.
This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path. We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages. This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.
I think this is safe. If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

[PATCH] limit request_fn recursion
Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,
when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical
point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.
Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.
This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

[PATCH] PCI: correctly allocate return buffers for osc calls
The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values,
and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This causes the
acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is,
and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided
buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is
overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these calls to use a
dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide
how much space is needed.

[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path
Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link. I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.
In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS. Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.
In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:
if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
/*
* On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
* request from the recvq/xmitq.
*/
smb_lock_server(server);
if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
smb_rput(req);
}
smb_unlock_server(server);
}
[...]
if (signal_pending(current))
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;
I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set. This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.
Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab. As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).
If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.
I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for

end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.
Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely

[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.
Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.
Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.
Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.
The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

[PATCH] SCTP: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled DATA. (CVE-2006-2274)
There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion
and crash the system. The trigger is a packet that contains at least the
first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is
triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message.
The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message.
When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first
fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared
between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list
pointer of the second fragment to point to itself. This causes
sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely.
Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link
things using frag_list.

on the whole rt field. This patch masks off the proper bits.
[PATCH] x86/PAE: Fix pte_clear for the >4GB RAM case
Proposed fix for ptep_get_and_clear_full PAE bug. Pte_clear had the same bug,
so use the same fix for both. Turns out pmd_clear had it as well, but pgds
are not affected.
The problem is rather intricate. Page table entries in PAE mode are 64-bits
wide, but the only atomic 8-byte write operation available in 32-bit mode is
cmpxchg8b, which is expensive (at least on P4), and thus avoided. But it can
happen that the processor may prefetch entries into the TLB in the middle of an
operation which clears a page table entry. So one must always clear the P-bit
in the low word of the page table entry first when clearing it.
Since the sequence *ptep = __pte(0) leaves the order of the write dependent on
the compiler, it must be coded explicitly as a clear of the low word followed
by a clear of the high word. Further, there must be a write memory barrier
here to enforce proper ordering by the compiler (and, in the future, by the
processor as well).
On > 4GB memory machines, the implementation of pte_clear for PAE was clearly
deficient, as it could leave virtual mappings of physical memory above 4GB
aliased to memory below 4GB in the TLB. The implementation of
ptep_get_and_clear_full has a similar bug, although not nearly as likely to
occur, since the mappings being cleared are in the process of being destroyed,
and should never be dereferenced again.
But, as luck would have it, it is possible to trigger bugs even without ever
dereferencing these bogus TLB mappings, even if the clear is followed fairly
soon after with a TLB flush or invalidation. The problem is that memory above
4GB may now be aliased into the first 4GB of memory, and in fact, may hit a
region of memory with non-memory semantics. These regions include AGP and PCI
space. As such, these memory regions are not cached by the processor. This
introduces the bug.
The processor can speculate memory operations, including memory writes, as long
as they are committed with the proper ordering. Speculating a memory write to
a linear address that has a bogus TLB mapping is possible. Normally, the
speculation is harmless. But for cached memory, it does leave the falsely
speculated cacheline unmodified, but in a dirty state. This cache line will be
eventually written back. If this cacheline happens to intersect a region of
memory that is not protected by the cache coherency protocol, it can corrupt
data in I/O memory, which is generally a very bad thing to do, and can cause
total system failure or just plain undefined behavior.
These bugs are extremely unlikely, but the severity is of such magnitude, and
the fix so simple that I think fixing them immediately is justified. Also,
they are nearly impossible to debug.

[PATCH] LSM: add missing hook to do_compat_readv_writev()
This patch addresses a flaw in LSM, where there is no mediation of readv()

This bug was discovered and fixed initially in the native readv/writev
code [1], but was not fixed in the compat code. Thanks to Al for spotting

2.6.16 broke /proc/devices. An application often gets an
EOF before the end of data is reached, if that application
uses a series of short read(2)s to access the data. I have
used read buffers of varying sizes with varying degrees
of unsuccess (larger sizes get further into the data than
smaller sizes, following a simple pattern). It appears
that the only safe way to get the data is to use a single
read buffer larger than all the data in /proc/devices.
The following example demonstates the problem:
# dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
Character devices:
1 mem
27+0 records in
27+0 records out

[PATCH] dm flush queue EINTR
If dm_suspend() is cancelled, bios already added to the deferred list need to

Before removing a snapshot, wait for the completion of any kcopyd jobs using
it.
Do this by maintaining a count (nr_jobs) of how many outstanding jobs each
kcopyd_client has.
The snapshot destructor first unregisters the snapshot so that no new kcopyd
jobs (created by writes to the origin) will reference that particular
snapshot. kcopyd_client_destroy() is now run next to wait for the completion
of any outstanding jobs before the snapshot exception structures (that those
jobs reference) are freed.

The problem seems to only happen with newer binutils
(it doesn't happen with 2.16.91.0.2 but happens wit 2.16.91.0.5)
Thanks to Brian Baker @ HP for test case and initial analysis.
I can reproduce by running 'get-edid' from:
http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/.
These messages come about in the log b/c the vm86 calls do not exit via
the normal system call exit paths and thus do not call
'audit_syscall_exit'. The next system call will then free the context for
itself and for the vm86 context, thus generating the above messages. This
patch addresses the issue by simply adding a call to 'audit_syscall_exit'
from the vm86 code.
Besides fixing the above error messages the patch also now allows vm86
system calls to become auditable. This is useful since strace does not
appear to properly record the return values from sys_vm86.
I think this patch is also a step in the right direction in terms of
cleaning up some core auditing code. If we can correct any other paths
that do not properly call the audit exit and entries points, then we can
also eliminate the notion of context chaining.
I've tested this patch by verifying that the log messages no longer
appear, and that the audit records for sys_vm86 appear to be correct.
Also, 'read_edid' produces itentical output.
thanks,
