`das08_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either
`das08_attach()` or `das08_attach_pci()` returns an error. It sets
`thisboard` to the return value of `comedi_board(dev)` and assumes it is
non-null. This is a valid assumption if `das08_attach()` fails, but not
if `das08_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer
dereference.
Check `thisboard` at the top of `das08_detach()` and return early if it
is `NULL`. This is okay because the only other thing that could have
been allocated is `dev->private` and that is freed by the comedi core,
not by this function.

Change 130f315a (staging: zram: remove special handle of uncompressed page)
introduced a bug in the handling of incompressible pages which resulted in
memory allocation failure for such pages.
When a page expands on compression, say from 4K to 4K+30, we were trying to
do zsmalloc(pool, 4K+30). However, the maximum size which zsmalloc can
allocate is PAGE_SIZE (for obvious reasons), so such allocation requests
always return failure (0).
For a page that has compressed size larger than the original size (this may
happen with already compressed or random data), there is no point storing
the compressed version as that would take more space and would also require
time for decompression when needed again. So, the fix is to store any page,
whose compressed size exceeds a threshold (max_zpage_size), as-it-is i.e.
without compression. Memory required for storing this uncompressed page can
then be requested from zsmalloc which supports PAGE_SIZE sized allocations.
Lastly, the fix checks that we do not attempt to "decompress" the page which
we stored in the uncompressed form -- we just memcpy() out such pages.
The default kernel mapping for the pages allocated for the binder
buffers is never used. Set the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag when allocating
these pages so we don't needlessly use low memory pages that may
be required elsewhere.
The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.
Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Chris Perl reports that we're seeing races between the wakeup call in
xs_error_report and the connect attempts. Basically, Chris has shown
that in certain circumstances, the call to xs_error_report causes the
rpc_task that is responsible for reconnecting to wake up early, thus
triggering a disconnect and retry.
Since the sk->sk_error_report() calls in the socket layer are always
followed by a tcp_done() in the cases where we care about waking up
the rpc_tasks, just let the state_change callbacks take responsibility
for those wake ups.

On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture
specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered
write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page,
page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty().
Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of
problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that
buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as
dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from
xfs_count_page_state().
Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from
xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the
hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then
page unmapped.
Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of
mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for
such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also
marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is
cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in
page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is
dirty.
Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have
mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned
up variant of the patch.
The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs
while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines
where the original problem was triggered.

Commit 20167d3421a089a1bf1bd680b150dc69c9506810 ("x86-64: Fix
accounting in kernel_physical_mapping_init()") went a little too
far by entirely removing the counting of pre-populated page
tables: this should be done at boot time (to cover the page
tables set up in early boot code), but shouldn't be done during
memory hot add.
Hence, re-add the removed increments of "pages", but make them
and the one in phys_pte_init() conditional upon !after_bootmem.
When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page
tables via the secondary_data struct:
(1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping
of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm).
(2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF
section.
The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which
includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to
swapper as soon as it enters C code:
struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm;
unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id();
/*
* All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a
* reference and switch to it.
*/
atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count);
current->active_mm = mm;
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm));
cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm);
This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as
strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of
exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc.
This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we
switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.

The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and
lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from
lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from
genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in
the bitmap.
That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three
bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits
(LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then.
The same works for the lookup functions.
The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In
include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long
bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should
reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of
longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap.
However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the
amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for
example, could be allocated for 70 bits.
This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in
the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines.
This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to
set or check for a bit.
This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the
bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits
because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since
they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when
gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits.
What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO
on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab
will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct
gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are
multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of
bytes.
Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset
after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO.
So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when
rmmod'ed.

Fix possible overflow of the buffer used for expanding environment

In the extremely unlikely case of an attacker having control over the

without compiler hardening, the attacker can gain arbitrary execution
control via a stack buffer overflow.
In commit 800179c9b8a1 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to
the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in
the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being
technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior.
However, it does turn out to break some applications. It's rare, and
it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so
we'll have to default to legacy behavior.
In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see
http://www.dwd.de/AFD/
along with some legacy scripts.
Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system
scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your
early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl
setting. Do:
Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option
that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural
options automatically.

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in

Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.
However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.
That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .

After commit e2446eaa ("tcp_v4_send_reset: binding oif to iif in no

Yes, backing out that patch will result in misrouting of resets for

handling normal unbound connections is obviously a priority.
Comment to comment:
> This has few benefits:
> 1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that.
It was done to route resets for IPv6 link local addresses. It was a
mistake to do so for global addresses. The patch fixes this as well.
Actually, the problem appears to be even more serious than guaranteed
loss of resets. As reported by Sergey Soloviev <sol@eqv.ru>, those
misrouted resets create a lot of arp traffic and huge amount of
unresolved arp entires putting down to knees NAT firewalls which use
asymmetric routing.
This is the revised patch for fixing rds-ping spinlock recursion
according to Venkat's suggestions.
RDS ping/pong over TCP feature has been broken for years(2.6.39 to
3.6.0) since we have to set TCP cork and call kernel_sendmsg() between
ping/pong which both need to lock "struct sock *sk". However, this
lock has already been hold before rds_tcp_data_ready() callback is
triggerred. As a result, we always facing spinlock resursion which
would resulting in system panic.
Given that RDS ping is only used to test the connectivity and not for
serious performance measurements, we can queue the pong transmit to
rds_wq as a delayed response.

source we allow redirection as it was done before both changes.

6a32e4f9dd9219261f8856f817e6655114cfec2f made the vlan code skip marking
vlan-tagged frames for not locally configured vlans as PACKET_OTHERHOST if
there was an rx_handler, as the rx_handler could cause the frame to be received
on a different (virtual) vlan-capable interface where that vlan might be
configured.
As rx_handlers do not necessarily return RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER, this could cause
frames for unknown vlans to be delivered to the protocol stack as if they had
been received untagged.
For example, if an ipv6 router advertisement that's tagged for a locally not
configured vlan is received on an interface with macvlan interfaces attached,
macvlan's rx_handler returns RX_HANDLER_PASS after delivering the frame to the
macvlan interfaces, which caused it to be passed to the protocol stack, leading
to ipv6 addresses for the announced prefix being configured even though those
are completely unusable on the underlying interface.
The fix moves marking as PACKET_OTHERHOST after the rx_handler so the
rx_handler, if there is one, sees the frame unchanged, but afterwards,
before the frame is delivered to the protocol stack, it gets marked whether
there is an rx_handler or not.

The retry loop in neigh_resolve_output() and neigh_connected_output()
call dev_hard_header() with out reseting the skb to network_header.
This causes the retry to fail with skb_under_panic. The fix is to
reset the network_header within the retry loop.

Over time, skb recycling infrastructure got litle interest and
many bugs. Generic rx path skb allocation is now using page
fragments for efficient GRO / TCP coalescing, and recyling
a tx skb for rx path is not worth the pain.
Last identified bug is that fat skbs can be recycled
and it can endup using high order pages after few iterations.
With help from Maxime Bizon, who pointed out that commit 87151b8689d (net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom)
introduced this regression for recycled skbs.
Instead of fixing this bug, lets remove skb recycling.
Drivers wanting really hot skbs should use build_skb() anyway,
to allocate/populate sk_buff right before netif_receive_skb()

I get a panic when I use ss -a and rmmod inet_diag at the
same time.
It's because netlink_dump uses inet_diag_dump which belongs to module
inet_diag.
I search the codes and find many modules have the same problem. We
need to add a reference to the module which the cb->dump belongs to.
Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan,Eric,Steffen and Pablo.
Change From v3:
change netlink_dump_start to inline,suggestion from Pablo and

This prevents the case of unbinding the object in order to process the
relocations through the GTT and then rebinding it only to then proceed
to use cpu relocations as the object is now in the CPU write domain. By
choosing to use cpu relocations up front, we can therefore avoid the
rebind penalty.

If none of the elements in scrubrates[] matches, this loop will cause

As the function is designed to use the final scrubrates[] element in the
case of no match, we can fix this bug by simply terminating the array

This patch (as1615) fixes a bug in the Garmin USB serial driver. It
uses attach, disconnect, and release routines to carry out actions
that should be handled by port_probe and port_remove routines, because
they access port-specific data.
The bug causes an oops when the device in unplugged, because the
private data for each port structure now gets erased when the port is
unbound from the driver, resulting in a null-pointer dereference.

The Set SEL control transfer tells a device the exit latencies
associated with a device-initated U1 or U2 exit. Since a parent hub may
initiate a transition to U1 soon after a downstream port's U1 timeout is
set, we need to make sure the device receives the Set SEL transfer
before the parent hub timeout is set.

Before a driver is probed, we want to disable USB 3.0 Link Power
Management (LPM), in case the driver needs hub-initiated LPM disabled.
After the probe finishes, we want to attempt to re-enable LPM, order to

When a probe fails (such as when libusual doesn't want to bind to a USB

re-enabling LPM.

If a USB transfer has already been started, meaning
we have already issued StartTransfer command to that
particular endpoint, DWC3_EP_BUSY flag has also
already been set.
When we try to cancel this transfer which is already
in controller's cache, we will not receive XferComplete

subsequent requests to be properly started.
The best place to clear that flag is right after issuing

In 32 bit guests, if a userspace process has %eax == -ERESTARTSYS
(-512) or -ERESTARTNOINTR (-513) when it is interrupted by an event
/and/ the process has a pending signal then %eip (and %eax) are
corrupted when returning to the main process after handling the
signal. The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it
may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it
returned to).
The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there
is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax
to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had
not done a system call).
If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
(-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to
-EINTR). This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect
behaviour.
handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so
any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a
negative value for orig_ax. For example, for physical interrupts on
bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets
regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code.
xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax
instead of -1.
Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both
non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with
other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in
handle_signal().
There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and
64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path
was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.

When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the
processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this
causing an oops.
On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the
"normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're
generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last
is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without
northbridge descriptors.

Calling uname() with the UNAME26 personality set allows a leak of kernel

copy_to_user() call, making the len argument unsigned, and initializing
the stack buffer to zero (now technically unneeded, but hey, overkill).
