If duration variable value is 0 at this point, it's because

This patch sets then the lowest timeout just to give enough

Commit 1a855a0606 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem where devices were
re-added when they shouldn't be but caused a regression in a less
common case that means sometimes devices cannot be re-added when they
should be.
In particular, when re-adding a device to an array without metadata
we should always access the device, but after the above commit we
didn't.
This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add
succeeds.
This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel to which 1a855a0606 was
applied.
pcmcia_request_irq() and pcmcia_enable_device() are intended
to be called from process context (first function allocate memory
with GFP_KERNEL, second take a mutex). We can not take spin lock
and call them.
It's safe to move spin lock after pcmcia_enable_device() as we
still hold off IRQ until dev->base_addr is 0 and driver will
not proceed with interrupts when is not ready.
Remove the broken line wrapping handling in pdc_iodc_print().
It is broken in 3 ways :
- It doesn't keep track of the current screen position, it just
assumes that the new buffer will be printed at the begining of the
screen.
- It doesn't take in account that non printable characters won't
increase the current position on the screen.
- And last but not least, it triggers a kernel panic if a backspace
is the first char in the provided buffer :
Most terminals handle the line wrapping just fine. I've confirmed that
it works correctly on a C8000 with both vga and serial output.

The firmware handles '\t' internally, so stop trying to emulate it
(which, incidentally, had a bug in it.)
Fixes a really weird hang at bootup in rcu_bootup_announce, which,
as far as I can tell, is the first printk in the core kernel to use
a tab as the first character.
Some of those functions try to adjust the CPU features, for example
to remove NAP support on some revisions. However, they seem to use
r5 as an index into the CPU table entry, which might have been right
a long time ago but no longer is. r4 is the right register to use.
This probably caused some off behaviours on some PowerMac variants
using 750cx or 7455 processor revisions.

Added 0x0307 device id to support Motorola cables to the pl2303 usb
serial driver. This cable has a modified chip that is a pl2303, but
declares itself as 0307. Fixed by adding the right device id to the
supported devices list, assigning it the code labeled
PL2303_PRODUCT_ID_MOTOROLA.
I tried a magnetic stripe reader
(http://www.kimaldi.com/kimaldi_eng/productos/lectores_de_tarjetas/lectores_tarjeta_chip_y_dni/lector_hibrido_uniform_hcr_331)

seems working fine.
The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state. IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.
The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.
This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.
In fsl_rio_dbell_handler() the code currently simply acknowledges the QFI
queue full interrupt, but does nothing to resolve the queue full
condition. Instead, it jumps to the end of the isr. When a queue full
condition occurs, the isr is then re-entered immediately and continually,
forever.
The fix is to just fall through and read out current doorbell entries.

Our current handling of medium error assumes that data is returned up
to the bad sector. This assumption holds good for all disk devices,
all DIF arrays and most ordinary arrays. However, an LSI array engine
was recently discovered which reports a medium error without returning
any data. This means that when we report good data up to the medium
error, we've reported junk originally in the buffer as good. Worse,
if the read consists of requested data plus a readahead, and the error
occurs in readahead, we'll just strip off the readahead and report
junk up to userspace as good data with no error.
The fix for this is to have the error position computation take into
account the amount of data returned by the driver using the scsi
residual data. Unfortunately, not every driver fills in this data,
but for those who don't, it's set to zero, which means we'll think a
full set of data was transferred and the behaviour will be identical
to the prior behaviour of the code (believe the buffer up to the error
sector). All modern drivers seem to set the residual, so that should
fix up the LSI failure/corruption case.

Functions set_fan_min() and set_fan_div() assume that the fan_div
values have already been read from the register. The driver currently
doesn't initialize them at load time, they are only set when function

When ASPM PM Feature is enabled on UMI link, devices that use ISOC stream of
data transfer may be exposed to longer latency causing less than optimal per-

wake time coming out of low power state which happens frequently to save
power when the link is not active.

passed and keep the logic normal state only when the ISOC device is connected
and active. This change will allow the device to run at optimal performance

When an xprt is created, it has a refcount of 1, and XPT_BUSY is set.
The refcount is *not* owned by the thread that created the xprt
(as is clear from the fact that creators never put the reference).
Rather, it is owned by the absence of XPT_DEAD. Once XPT_DEAD is set,
(And XPT_BUSY is clear) that initial reference is dropped and the xprt
can be freed.
So when a creator clears XPT_BUSY it is dropping its only reference and
so must not touch the xprt again.
However svc_recv, after calling ->xpo_accept (and so getting an XPT_BUSY
reference on a new xprt), calls svc_xprt_recieved. This clears
XPT_BUSY and then svc_xprt_enqueue - this last without owning a reference.
This is dangerous and has been seen to leave svc_xprt_enqueue working
with an xprt containing garbage.
So we need to hold an extra counted reference over that call to
svc_xprt_received.
For safety, any time we clear XPT_BUSY and then use the xprt again, we
first get a reference, and the put it again afterwards.
Note that svc_close_all does not need this extra protection as there are
no threads running, and the final free can only be called asynchronously
from such a thread.

The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by
unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to
a buffer overflow. Because the provided "name" argument isn't
guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible
to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array.
Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via
subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege
escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels(). In
addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.
ICMP protocol unreachable handling completely disregarded
the fact that the user may have locked the socket. It proceeded
to destroy the association, even though the user may have
held the lock and had a ref on the association. This resulted
in the following:
=========================
[ BUG: held lock freed! ]
-------------------------
somenu/2672 is freeing memory f6afcc00-f6afcfff, with a lock still held
there!
(sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.+.}, at: [<c122098a>] sctp_connect+0x13/0x4c
1 lock held by somenu/2672:
#0: (sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.+.}, at: [<c122098a>] sctp_connect+0x13/0x4c
This was because the sctp_wait_for_connect() would aqcure the socket
lock and then proceed to release the last reference count on the
association, thus cause the fully destruction path to finish freeing
the socket.
The simplest solution is to start a very short timer in case the socket
is owned by user. When the timer expires, we can do some verification
and be able to do the release properly.

posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
timers from signal->cpu_timers list.
But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group
leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group.
This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader.
After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems.
It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think
that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct.
Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular,
tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of
nontrivial and hard-to-test changes.
Change __exit_signal() to do posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() when
the old leader dies during exec. This is not the fix, just the
temporary hack to hide the problem for 2.6.37 and stable. IOW,
this is obviously wrong but this is what we currently have anyway:
cpu timers do not work after mt exec.
In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can
detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However,
the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we
can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().

With v0.90 metadata, a hot-spare does not become a full member of the
array until recovery is complete. So if we re-add such a device to
the array, we know that all of it is as up-to-date as the event count
would suggest, and so it a bitmap-based recovery is possible.
However with v1.x metadata, the hot-spare immediately becomes a full
member of the array, but it record how much of the device has been
recovered. If the array is stopped and re-assembled recovery starts
from this point.
When such a device is hot-added to an array we currently lose the 'how
much is recovered' information and incorrectly included it as a full
in-sync member (after bitmap-based fixup).
This is wrong and unsafe and could corrupt data.
So be more careful about setting saved_raid_disk - which is what
guides the re-adding of devices back into an array.
The new code matches the code in slot_store which does a similar
thing, which is encouraging.
In ib_uverbs_poll_cq() code there is a potential integer overflow if
userspace passes in a large cmd.ne. The calls to kmalloc() would
allocate smaller buffers than intended, leading to memory corruption.
There iss also an information leak if resp wasn't all used.
Unprivileged userspace may call this function, although only if an
RDMA device that uses this function is present.
Fix this by copying CQ entries one at a time, which avoids the
allocation entirely, and also by moving this copying into a function
that makes sure to initialize all memory copied to userspace.

This patch fixes the condition (3rd arg) passed to sk_wait_event() in

causes the following soft lockup in tcp_sendmsg() when the global tcp
memory pool has exhausted.
What is happening is, that the sk_wait_event() condition passed from
sk_stream_wait_memory() evaluates to true for the case of tcp global memory
exhaustion. This is because both sk_stream_memory_free() and vm_wait are true
which causes sk_wait_event() to *not* call schedule_timeout().
Hence sk_stream_wait_memory() returns immediately to the caller w/o sleeping.
This causes the caller to again try allocation, which again fails and again
calls sk_stream_wait_memory(), and so on.

Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes
are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions),
the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace.
Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

The find_next_bit, find_first_bit, find_next_zero_bit
and find_first_zero_bit functions were not properly
clamping to the maxbit argument at the bit level. They
were instead only checking maxbit at the byte level.
To fix this, add a compare and a conditional move
instruction to the end of the common bit-within-the-
byte code used by all the functions and be sure not to
clobber the maxbit argument before it is used.

If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
otherwise reset before do_exit(). do_exit may later (via mm_release in
fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.
This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
worth fixing. I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
I've tested that this is not theoretical.
A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
every architecture, in multiple places.
This patch (as1435) fixes an obscure and unlikely race in ehci-hcd.
When an async URB is unlinked, the corresponding QH is removed from
the async list. If the QH's endpoint is then disabled while the URB
is being given back, ehci_endpoint_disable() won't find the QH on the
async list, causing it to believe that the QH has been lost. This
will lead to a memory leak at best and quite possibly to an oops.
The solution is to trust usbcore not to lose track of endpoints. If
the QH isn't on the async list then it doesn't need to be taken off
the list, but the driver should still wait for the QH to become IDLE
before disabling it.
In theory this fixes Bugzilla #20182. In fact the race is so rare
that it's not possible to tell whether the bug is still present.
However, adding delays and making other changes to force the race
seems to show that the patch works.

Structure usbdevfs_connectinfo is copied to userland with padding byted
after "slow" field uninitialized. It leads to leaking of contents of
kernel stack memory.
Structure iowarrior_info is copied to userland with padding byted
between "serial" and "revision" fields uninitialized. It leads to
leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
SCSI commands may be issued between __scsi_add_device() and dev->sdev
assignment, so it's unsafe for ata_qc_complete() to dereference
dev->sdev->locked without checking whether it's NULL or not. Fix it.
If the iovec is being set up in a way that causes uaddr + PAGE_SIZE
to overflow, we could end up attempting to map a huge number of
pages. Check for this invalid input type.
eCryptfs was passing the LOOKUP_OPEN flag through to the lower file
system, even though ecryptfs_create() doesn't support the flag. A valid
filp for the lower filesystem could be returned in the nameidata if the
lower file system's create() function supported LOOKUP_OPEN, possibly
resulting in unencrypted writes to the lower file.
However, this is only a potential problem in filesystems (FUSE, NFS,
CIFS, CEPH, 9p) that eCryptfs isn't known to support today.
The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.
The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.
The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()
newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but
invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of
the struct.

page_order() is called by memory hotplug's user interface to check the
section is removable or not. (is_mem_section_removable())
It calls page_order() withoug holding zone->lock.
So, even if the caller does
if (PageBuddy(page))
ret = page_order(page) ...
The caller may hit BUG_ON().
For fixing this, there are 2 choices.
1. add zone->lock.
2. remove BUG_ON().
is_mem_section_removable() is used for some "advice" and doesn't need to
be 100% accurate. This is_removable() can be called via user program..
We don't want to take this important lock for long by user's request. So,
this patch removes BUG_ON().
When a node contains only HighMem memory, slab_node(MPOL_BIND)
dereferences a NULL pointer.

It's because there is no initialization code for a list_head contained in
the struct backing_dev_info under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, and the bug comes up
when block device drivers calling blk_alloc_queue() are used. In case of
me, I got them by using aoe.
The function __scsi_remove_target iterates through the SCSI devices on
the host, but it drops the host_lock before calling
scsi_remove_device. When the SCSI device is deleted from another
thread, the pointer to the SCSI device in scsi_remove_device can
become invalid. Fix this by getting a reference to the SCSI device
before dropping the host_lock to keep the SCSI device alive for the
call to scsi_remove_device.
gdth_ioctl_alloc() takes the size variable as an int.
copy_from_user() takes the size variable as an unsigned long.
gen.data_len and gen.sense_len are unsigned longs.
On x86_64 longs are 64 bit and ints are 32 bit.
We could pass in a very large number and the allocation would truncate
the size to 32 bits and allocate a small buffer. Then when we do the
copy_from_user(), it would result in a memory corruption.

Some cards (like mvsas) have issue troubles if non-NCQ commands are
mixed with NCQ ones. Fix this by using the libata default NCQ check
routine which waits until all NCQ commands are complete before issuing
a non-NCQ one. The impact to cards (like aic94xx) which don't need
this logic should be minimal
