Good job. I was too lazy to bisect for bad commit;)
Reading the code I found problematic kthread_should_stop call from netlink
connector which causes the oops. After applying a patch, I've been testing
owfs+w1 setup for nearly two days and it seems to work very reliable (no
hangs, no memleaks etc).
More detailed description and possible fix is given below:
Function w1_search can be called from either kthread or netlink callback.
While the former works fine, the latter causes oops due to kthread_should_stop
invocation.
This patch adds a check if w1_search is serving netlink command, skipping
kthread_should_stop invocation if so.

If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a

Now that login from util-linux is forced to drop all references to a
TTY which it wants to hangup (to reach reference count 1) we are
seeing issues with telnet. When login closes its last reference to the
slave PTY, it also resets packet mode on the *master* side. And we
have a race here.
What telnet does is fork+exec of `login'. Then there are two
scenarios:
* `login' closes the slave TTY and resets thus master's packet mode,
but even now telnet properly sets the mode, or
* `telnetd' sets packet mode on the master, `login' closes the slave
TTY and resets master's packet mode.
The former case is OK. However the latter happens in much more cases,
by the order of magnitude to be precise. So when one tries to login to
such a messed telnet setup, they see the following:
inux login:
ogin incorrect
Note the missing first letters -- telnet thinks it is still in the
packet mode, so when it receives "linux login" from `login', it
considers "l" as the type of the packet and strips it.
SuS does not mention how the implementation should behave. Both BSDs I
checked (Free and Net) do not reset the flag upon the last close.
By this I am resurrecting an old bug, see References. We are hitting
it regularly now, i.e. with updated util-linux, ergo login.
Here, I am changing a behavior introduced back in 2.1 times. It would
better have a long time testing before goes upstream.

ext3_msg() takes the printk prefix as the second parameter and the

this string comes from an arbitrary source. Which means the string may

When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer is
not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to
children. This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by
examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction().
Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only
matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed
until the exec). But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer,
this is where it should be fixed.
Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written
since this would be the only use. Instead, we use
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER, as already done in other places.
This patch (as1661) fixes a rather obscure bug in ehci-hcd. In a
couple of places, the driver compares the DMA address stored in a QH's
overlay region with the address of a particular qTD, in order to see
whether that qTD is the one currently being processed by the hardware.
(If it is then the status in the QH's overlay region is more
up-to-date than the status in the qTD, and if it isn't then the
overlay's value needs to be adjusted when the QH is added back to the
active schedule.)
However, DMA address in the overlay region isn't always valid. It
sometimes will contain a stale value, which may happen by coincidence
to be equal to a qTD's DMA address. Instead of checking the DMA
address, we should check whether the overlay region is active and
valid. The patch tests the ACTIVE bit in the overlay, and clears this
bit when the overlay becomes invalid (which happens when the
currently-executing URB is unlinked).
This is the second part of a fix for the regression reported at:
This reverts commit 200e0d99 ("USB: storage: optimize to match the
Huawei USB storage devices and support new switch command" and the
followup bugfix commit cd060956 ("USB: storage: properly handle
the endian issues of idProduct").
The commit effectively added a large number of Huawei devices to
the deprecated usb-storage mode switching logic. Many of these
devices have been in use and supported by the userspace
usb_modeswitch utility for years. Forcing the switching inside
the kernel causes a number of regressions as a result of ignoring
existing onfigurations, and also completely takes away the ability
to configure mode switching per device/system/user.
Known regressions caused by this:
- Some of the devices support multiple modes, using different
switching commands. There are existing configurations taking
advantage of this.
- There is a real use case for disabling mode switching and
instead mounting the exposed storage device. This becomes
impossible with switching logic inside the usb-storage driver.
- At least on device fail as a result of the usb-storage switching
command, becoming completely unswitchable. This is possibly a
firmware bug, but still a regression because the device work as
expected using usb_modeswitch defaults.
In-kernel mode switching was deprecated years ago with the
development of the more user friendly userspace alternatives. The
existing list of devices in usb-storage was only kept to prevent
breaking already working systems. The long term plan is to remove
the list, not to add to it. Ref:

This change applies the same workaround used in
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c and net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c of creating
a skeleton of decnet sysctl entries before doing anything else.
The problem first appeared in kernel 2.6.27. The later rewrite of

There is a race in install_user_keyrings() that can cause a NULL pointer
dereference when called concurrently for the same user if the uid and
uid-session keyrings are not yet created. It might be possible for an
unprivileged user to trigger this by calling keyctl() from userspace in
parallel immediately after logging in.
Assume that we have two threads both executing lookup_user_key(), both
looking for KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING.
THREAD A THREAD B
=============================== ===============================
==>call install_user_keyrings();
if (!cred->user->session_keyring)
==>call install_user_keyrings()
...
user->uid_keyring = uid_keyring;
if (user->uid_keyring)
return 0;
<==
key = cred->user->session_keyring [== NULL]
user->session_keyring = session_keyring;
atomic_inc(&key->usage); [oops]
At the point thread A dereferences cred->user->session_keyring, thread B
hasn't updated user->session_keyring yet, but thread A assumes it is
populated because install_user_keyrings() returned ok.
The race window is really small but can be exploited if, for example,
thread B is interrupted or preempted after initializing uid_keyring, but
before doing setting session_keyring.
This couldn't be reproduced on a stock kernel. However, after placing
systemtap probe on 'user->session_keyring = session_keyring;' that
introduced some delay, the kernel could be crashed reliably.
Fix this by checking both pointers before deciding whether to return.
Alternatively, the test could be done away with entirely as it is checked
inside the mutex - but since the mutex is global, that may not be the best
way.

When a value of a vmaster slave control is changed, the ctl change
notification is sometimes ignored. This happens when the master
control overrides, e.g. when the corresponding master control is

change.
This patch fixes the function just to return 1 whenever a slave value

However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address
(at least on most archs). We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually
far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate
a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).
If the socket is full, we're better off just waiting until it empties,
or until the connection is broken. The reason why we generally don't
want to time out is that the call to xprt->ops->release_xprt() will
trigger a connection reset, which isn't helpful...

When walking down the path on the server, it's possible to hit a

Some low-level comedi drivers (incorrectly) point `dev->read_subdev` or

assume these subdevices do support asynchronous commands. In
particular, they assume `s->async` is valid (where `s` points to the
read or write subdevice), which it won't be if it has been set

It seems the setting of the channel bits for particular scanning modes
was incorrect for differential mode. (Only half the number of channels
are available in differential mode; comedi refers to them as channels 0,
1, 2 and 3, but the hardware documentation refers to them as channels 0,
2, 4 and 6.) In differential mode, the setting of the channel enable
bits in the command1 register should depend on whether the scan enable
bit is set. Effectively, we need to double the comedi channel number
when the scan enable bit is not set in differential mode. The scan
enable bit gets set when the AI scan mode is `MODE_MULT_CHAN_UP` or
`MODE_MULT_CHAN_DOWN`, and gets cleared when the AI scan mode is
`MODE_SINGLE_CHAN` or `MODE_SINGLE_CHAN_INTERVAL`. The existing test
for whether the comedi channel number needs to be doubled in

When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel,
there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could
result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss.
The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical
mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default
setting.
This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or
"nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system
without requiring manual workarounds.
The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table.
As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the
control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec,
chapter 2.9.
Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode
enabled:
When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL:
1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical
or xapic phys driver at first.
2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode.
3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe()
will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode.
Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to
take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT
indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check
FADT PHYSICAL.
Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the
problem.

Without this patch, it is trivial to determine kernel page
mappings by examining the error code reported to dmesg[1].
Instead, declare the entire kernel memory space as a violation
of a present page.
Additionally, since show_unhandled_signals is enabled by
default, switch branch hinting to the more realistic
expectation, and unobfuscate the setting of the PF_PROT bit to
improve readability.
automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing
#if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc)
architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define
autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which
has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels.
During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert
the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have
a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned
long type.
This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?)
seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new
upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since
it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).

putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can
safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from
ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means
that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee
does SAVE_REST again.
set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this
race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the
logic.
As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace()
call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the
debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we
can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths.
Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it
makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before
access_process_vm().
While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why
ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().
signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.
Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.
This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.
If a single descriptor crosses a region, the
second chunk length should be decremented
by size translated so far, instead it includes
the full descriptor length.

svc_age_temp_xprts expires xprts in a two-step process: first it takes
the sv_lock and moves the xprts to expire off their server-wide list
(sv_tempsocks or sv_permsocks) to a local list. Then it drops the
sv_lock and enqueues and puts each one.
I see no reason for this: svc_xprt_enqueue() will take sp_lock, but the
sv_lock and sp_lock are not otherwise nested anywhere (and documentation
at the top of this file claims it's correct to nest these with sp_lock
inside.)

The iteration logic of idr_get_next() is borrowed mostly verbatim from
idr_for_each(). It walks down the tree looking for the slot matching
the current ID. If the matching slot is not found, the ID is
incremented by the distance of single slot at the given level and
repeats.
The implementation assumes that during the whole iteration id is aligned
to the layer boundaries of the level closest to the leaf, which is true
for all iterations starting from zero or an existing element and thus is
fine for idr_for_each().
However, idr_get_next() may be given any point and if the starting id
hits in the middle of a non-existent layer, increment to the next layer
will end up skipping the same offset into it. For example, an IDR with
IDs filled between [64, 127] would look like the following.
[ 0 64 ... ]
/----/ |
| |
NULL [ 64 ... 127 ]
If idr_get_next() is called with 63 as the starting point, it will try
to follow down the pointer from 0. As it is NULL, it will then try to
proceed to the next slot in the same level by adding the slot distance
at that level which is 64 - making the next try 127. It goes around the
loop and finds and returns 127 skipping [64, 126].
Note that this bug also triggers in idr_for_each_entry() loop which
deletes during iteration as deletions can make layers go away leaving
the iteration with unaligned ID into missing layers.
Fix it by ensuring proceeding to the next slot doesn't carry over the
unaligned offset - ie. use round_up(id + 1, slot_distance) instead of
id += slot_distance.
"be->mode" is obtained from xenbus_read(), which does a kmalloc() for
the message body. The short string is never released, so do it along
with freeing "be" itself, and make sure the string isn't kept when
backend_changed() doesn't complete successfully (which made it
desirable to slightly re-structure that function, so that the error
cleanup can be done in one place).

ocfs2_block_group_alloc_discontig() disables chain relink by setting
ac->ac_allow_chain_relink = 0 because it grabs clusters from multiple
cluster groups.
It doesn't keep the credits for all chain relink,but

On non-BIOS platforms it is possible that the BIOS data area contains
garbage instead of being zeroed or something equivalent (firmware
people: we are talking of 1.5K here, so please do the sane thing.)
We need on the order of 20-30K of low memory in order to boot, which
may grow up to < 64K in the future. We probably want to avoid the
lowest of the low memory. At the same time, it seems extremely
unlikely that a legitimate EBDA would ever reach down to the 128K
(which would require it to be over half a megabyte in size.) Thus,
pick 128K as the cutoff for "this is insane, ignore." We may still
end up reserving a bunch of extra memory on the low megabyte, but that
is not really a major issue these days. In the worst case we lose
512K of RAM.
This code really should be merged with trim_bios_range() in
arch/x86/kernel/setup.c, but that is a bigger patch for a later merge
window.

Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules"
changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to
process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them
(namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do.
Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace
clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be
run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing
correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace
needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code
being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it
removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove
a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment
no longer exists.
Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace
did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error.
Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails
to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's
best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else.
By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that
does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other
that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the
problem is solved.

When idr_find() was fed a negative ID, it used to look up the ID
ignoring the sign bit before recent ("idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and
move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.c") patch. Now a negative ID triggers
a WARN_ON_ONCE().
__lock_timer() feeds timer_id from userland directly to idr_find()
without sanitizing it which can trigger the above malfunctions. Add a
range check on @timer_id before invoking idr_find() in __lock_timer().
While timer_t is defined as int by all archs at the moment, Andrew
worries that it may be defined as a larger type later on. Make the
test cover larger integers too so that it at least is guaranteed to
not return the wrong timer.
Note that WARN_ON_ONCE() in idr_find() on id < 0 is transitional
precaution while moving away from ignoring MSB. Once it's gone we can
remove the guard as long as timer_t isn't larger than int.
When dma_ops are initialized the unity mappings are
created. The init_device_table_dma() function makes sure DMA
from all devices is blocked by default. This opens a short
window in time where DMA to unity mapped regions is blocked
by the IOMMU. Make sure this does not happen by initializing
the device table after dma_ops.
Otherwise, ext4 file systems with the quota featured enable will get a
very confusing "No such process" error message if the quota code is

The USB device descriptor of one identity presented by a few
Huawei morphing devices have serial functions with class codes
02/02/ff, indicating CDC ACM with a vendor specific protocol. This
combination is often used for MSFT RNDIS functions, and the CDC
ACM class driver will therefore ignore such functions.
The CDC ACM class driver cannot support functions with only 2
endpoints. The underlying serial functions of these modems are
also believed to be the same as for alternate device identities
already supported by the option driver. Letting the same driver
handle these functions independently of the current identity
ensures consistent handling and user experience.
There is no need to blacklist these devices in the rndis_host
driver. Huawei serial functions will either have only 2 endpoints
or a CDC ACM functional descriptor with bmCapabilities != 0, making
them correctly ignored as "non RNDIS" by that driver.

vif->netbk doesn't become unexpectedly NULL; and b) the net device/vif

1. Mark as unschedulable (netif_carrier_off()).
2. Synchronously cancel the timer.

I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that
yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for
unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver(). After this hack, lockdep
warnings are finally gone.
If grub2 loads efifb/vesafb, then when systemd starts it can set the console
font on that framebuffer device, however when we then load the native KMS
driver, the first thing it does is tear down the generic framebuffer driver.
The thing is the generic code is doing the right thing, it frees the font
because otherwise it would leak memory. However we can assume that if you
are removing the generic firmware driver (vesa/efi/offb), that a new driver
*should* be loading soon after, so we effectively leak the font.
However the old code left a dangling pointer in vc->vc_font.data and we
can now reuse that dangling pointer to load the font into the new
driver, now that we aren't freeing it.
This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and
it significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as
the rp3440. When write protecting a page for COW, we need to
purge the existing translation. Otherwise, the COW break
doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry
which allows writes.

Comedi has two sorts of minor devices:
(a) normal board minor devices in the range 0 to
COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS-1 inclusive; and
(b) special subdevice minor devices in the range COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS
upwards that are used to open the same underlying comedi device as the
normal board minor devices, but with non-default read and write
subdevices for asynchronous commands.
The special subdevice minor devices get created when a board supporting
asynchronous commands is attached to a normal board minor device, and
destroyed when the board is detached from the normal board minor device.
One way to attach or detach a board is by using the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG
ioctl. This should only be used on normal board minors as the special
subdevice minors are too ephemeral. In particular, the change
introduced in commit 7d3135af399e92cf4c9bbc5f86b6c140aab3b88c ("staging:
comedi: prevent auto-unconfig of manually configured devices") breaks
horribly for special subdevice minor devices.
Since there's no legitimate use for the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl on a
special subdevice minor device node, disallow it and return -ENOTTY.
