They were able to reproduce the crash multiple times with the
following details:
Crash seems to always happen on the:
mutex_unlock(&conn_id->handler_mutex);
as conn_id looks to have been freed during this code path.
An examination of the code shows that a race exists in the request
handlers. When a new connection request is received, the rdma_cm
allocates a new connection identifier. This identifier has a single
reference count on it. If a user calls rdma_destroy_id() from another
thread after receiving a callback, rdma_destroy_id will proceed to
destroy the id and free the associated memory. However, the request
handlers may still be in the process of running. When control returns
to the request handlers, they can attempt to access the newly created
identifiers.
Fix this by holding a reference on the newly created rdma_cm_id until
the request handler is through accessing it.

ata_qc_complete() contains special handling for certain commands. For
example, it schedules EH for device revalidation after certain
configurations are changed. These shouldn't be applied to EH
commands but they were.
In most cases, it doesn't cause an actual problem because EH doesn't
issue any command which would trigger special handling; however, ACPI
can issue such commands via _GTF which can cause weird interactions.
Restructure ata_qc_complete() such that EH commands are always passed
on to __ata_qc_complete().

When CPU hotplug is used, some CPUs may be offline at the time a kexec is
performed. The subsequent kernel may expect these CPUs to be already running,
and will declare them stuck. On pseries, there's also a soft-offline (cede)
state that CPUs may be in; this can also cause problems as the kexeced kernel
may ask RTAS if they're online -- and RTAS would say they are. The CPU will
either appear stuck, or will cause a crash as we replace its cede loop beneath
it.
This patch kicks each present offline CPU awake before the kexec, so that
none are forever lost to these assumptions in the subsequent kernel.
Now, the behaviour is that all available CPUs that were offlined are now
online & usable after the kexec. This mimics the behaviour of a full reboot
(on which all CPUs will be restarted).

Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally
requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of
memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs.
This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid.
It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL. For the common case where
a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE
down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs.
This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB
machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.

IOMMU table initialized, virtual merging enabled
Interrupt 155954 (real) is invalid, disabling it.
Interrupt 155953 (real) is invalid, disabling it.
ie we took some spurious interrupts. default_machine_crash_shutdown tries
to disable all interrupt sources but uses chip->disable which maps to
the default action of:
static void default_disable(unsigned int irq)
{
}
If we use chip->shutdown, then we actually mask the IRQ:
We wrap the crash_shutdown_handles[] calls with longjmp/setjmp, so if any
of them fault we can recover. The problem is we add a hook to the debugger
fault handler hook which calls longjmp unconditionally.
This first part of kdump is run before we marshall the other CPUs, so there
is a very good chance some CPU on the box is going to page fault. And when
it does it hits the longjmp code and assumes the context of the oopsing CPU.
The machine gets very confused when it has 10 CPUs all with the same stack,
all thinking they have the same CPU id. I get even more confused trying
to debug it.
The patch below adds crash_shutdown_cpu and uses it to specify which cpu is
in the protected region. Since it can only be -1 or the oopsing CPU, we don't
need to use memory barriers since it is only valid on the local CPU - no other
CPU will ever see a value that matches it's local CPU id.
Eventually we should switch the order and marshall all CPUs before doing the
crash_shutdown_handles[] calls, but that is a bigger fix.

Robert Swiecki reported a BUG_ON(page_mapped) from a fuzzer, punching
a hole with madvise(,, MADV_REMOVE). That path is under mutex, and
cannot be explained by lack of serialization in unmap_mapping_range().
Reviewing the code, I found one place where vm_truncate_count handling
should have been updated, when I switched at the last minute from one
way of managing the restart_addr to another: mremap move changes the
virtual addresses, so it ought to adjust the restart_addr.
But rather than exporting the notion of restart_addr from memory.c, or
converting to restart_pgoff throughout, simply reset vm_truncate_count
to 0 to force a rescan if mremap move races with preempted truncation.
We have no confirmation that this fixes Robert's BUG,
but it is a fix that's worth making anyway.
If the iowarrior devices in this case statement support more than 8 bytes
per report, it is possible to write past the end of a kernel heap allocation.
This will probably never be possible, but change the allocation to be more
defensive anyway.

When we finish processing ASCONF_ACK chunk, we try to send
the next queued ASCONF. This action runs the sctp state
machine recursively and it's not prepared to do so.
vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing
i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt
it as reported and analyzed by Josh.
In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement
games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.

'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers
for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition
before opening the whole device.
this causes md_probe() to be called with a device number of a
partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number.
However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and
does the wrong thing with partition numbers.
So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of
a device number and just work with the 'whole device'.

The idle timer could trigger after clock had been disabled leading to
kernel panic when MUSB_DEVCTL is accessed in musb_do_idle on 2.6.37.
The fault below is no longer triggered on 2.6.38-rc4 (clock is disabled
later, and only if compiled as a module, and the offending memory access
has moved) but the timer should be cancelled nonetheless.
With CONFIG_SHIRQ_DEBUG=y we call a newly installed interrupt handler
in request_threaded_irq().
The original implementation (commit a304e1b8) called the handler
_BEFORE_ it was installed, but that caused problems with handlers
calling disable_irq_nosync(). See commit 377bf1e4.
It's braindead in the first place to call disable_irq_nosync in shared
handlers, but ....
Moving this call after we installed the handler looks innocent, but it
is very subtle broken on SMP.
Interrupt handlers rely on the fact, that the irq core prevents
reentrancy.
Now this debug call violates that promise because we run the handler
w/o the IRQ_INPROGRESS protection - which we cannot apply here because
that would result in a possibly forever masked interrupt line.
A concurrent real hardware interrupt on a different CPU results in
handler reentrancy and can lead to complete wreckage, which was
unfortunately observed in reality and took a fricking long time to
debug.
Leave the code here for now. We want this debug feature, but that's
not easy to fix. We really should get rid of those
disable_irq_nosync() abusers and remove that function completely.

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected

This code path is taken:

bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync);
do_failures:
if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false)
else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false)
else bio_endio(bio, 0);
The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already
tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it
is reported as success.

Clearing the cpu in prev's mm_cpumask early will avoid the flush tlb
IPI's while the cr3 is still pointing to the prev mm. And this window
can lead to the possibility of bogus TLB fills resulting in strange
failures. One such problematic scenario is mentioned below.
T1. CPU-1 is context switching from mm1 to mm2 context and got a NMI
etc between the point of clearing the cpu from the mm_cpumask(mm1)
and before reloading the cr3 with the new mm2.
T2. CPU-2 is tearing down a specific vma for mm1 and will proceed with
flushing the TLB for mm1. It doesn't send the flush TLB to CPU-1
as it doesn't see that cpu listed in the mm_cpumask(mm1).
T3. After the TLB flush is complete, CPU-2 goes ahead and frees the
page-table pages associated with the removed vma mapping.
T4. CPU-2 now allocates those freed page-table pages for something
else.
T5. As the CR3 and TLB caches for mm1 is still active on CPU-1, CPU-1
can potentially speculate and walk through the page-table caches
and can insert new TLB entries. As the page-table pages are
already freed and being used on CPU-2, this page walk can
potentially insert a bogus global TLB entry depending on the
(random) contents of the page that is being used on CPU-2.
T6. This bogus TLB entry being global will be active across future CR3
changes and can result in weird memory corruption etc.
To avoid this issue, for the prev mm that is handing over the cpu to
another mm, clear the cpu from the mm_cpumask(prev) after the cr3 is
changed.
Marking it for -stable, though we haven't seen any reported failure that
can be attributed to this.

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)
and I see that it is interfaced with a PL2303. I wrote a patch to use
your driver which simply adds the product ID for the device and it
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.

libsas makes use of scsi_schedule_eh() but forgets to clear the
host_eh_scheduled flag in its error handling routine. Because of this,
the error handler thread never gets to sleep; it's constantly awake and
trying to run the error routine leading to console spew and inability to
run anything else (at least on a UP system). The fix is to clear the
flag as we splice the work queue.

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.

The major and minor number saved in the product_info structure

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
via686a_update_device() is called. This means that set_fan_min() and
set_fan_div() misbehave if, for example, "sensors -s" is called
before any monitoring application (e.g. "sensors") is has been run.
Fix the problem by always initializing the fan_div values at device
bind time.
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-
formance of the device. The longer latencies are normal and are due to link
wake time coming out of low power state which happens frequently to save
power when the link is not active.
The following code will make exception for certain features of ASPM to be by
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
yet minimize the impact on overall power savings.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the
vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local
attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting
the available pages for special mappings.
bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can
be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have
the security check.
The file_ops struct for the "trace" special file defined llseek as seq_lseek().
However, if the file was opened for writing only, seq_open() was not called,

descriptor is opened for reading first. If not, it does nothing.

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().

If vfs_getattr in fill_post_wcc returns an error, we don't
set fh_post_change.
For NFSv4, this can result in set_change_info triggering a BUG_ON.
i.e. fh_post_saved being zero isn't really a bug.
So:
- instead of BUGging when fh_post_saved is zero, just clear ->atomic.
- if vfs_getattr fails in fill_post_wcc, take a copy of i_ctime anyway.
This will be used i seg_change_info, but not overly trusted.
- While we are there, remove the pointless 'if' statements in set_change_info.

The commit 129a84de2347002f09721cda3155ccfd19fade40 (locks: fix F_GETLK
regression (failure to find conflicts)) fixed the posix_test_lock()
function by itself, however, its usage in NFS changed by the commit 9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c (locks: give posix_test_lock
same interface as ->lock) remained broken - subsequent NFS-specific
locking code received F_UNLCK instead of the user-specified lock type.
To fix the problem, fl->fl_type needs to be saved before the
posix_test_lock() call and restored if no local conflicts were reported.
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.
