A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (> 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow. This was detected by PaX security patchset:
Some firmware exhibits a bug where the same VariableName and
VendorGuid values are returned on multiple invocations of
GetNextVariableName(). See,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47631
As a consequence of such a bug, Andre reports hitting the following
WARN_ON() in the sysfs code after updating the BIOS on his, "Gigabyte
Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./Z77X-UD3H, BIOS F19e
11/21/2012)" machine,
There's not much we can do to work around and keep traversing the
variable list once we hit this firmware bug. Our only solution is to
terminate the loop because, as Lingzhu reports, some machines get
stuck when they encounter duplicate names,
> I had an IBM System x3100 M4 and x3850 X5 on which kernel would
> get stuck in infinite loop creating duplicate sysfs files because,
> for some reason, there are several duplicate boot entries in nvram
> getting GetNextVariableName into a circle of iteration (with
> period > 2).
Also disable the workqueue, as efivar_update_sysfs_entries() uses
GetNextVariableName() to figure out which variables have been created
since the last iteration. That algorithm isn't going to work if
GetNextVariableName() returns duplicates. Note that we don't disable
EFI variable creation completely on the affected machines, it's just
that any pstore dump-* files won't appear in sysfs until the next
boot.
[Backported for 3.4-stable. Removed code related to pstore
workqueue but pulled in helper function variable_is_present
from a93bc0c; Moved the definition of __efivars to the top
for being referenced in variable_is_present.]
It's not wise to assume VariableNameSize represents the length of
VariableName, as not all firmware updates VariableNameSize in the same
way (some don't update it at all if EFI_SUCCESS is returned). There
are even implementations out there that update VariableNameSize with
values that are both larger than the string returned in VariableName
and smaller than the buffer passed to GetNextVariableName(), which
resulted in the following bug report from Michael Schroeder,
> On HP z220 system (firmware version 1.54), some EFI variables are
> incorrectly named :
>
> ls -d /sys/firmware/efi/vars/*8be4d* | grep -v -- -8be returns

> /sys/firmware/efi/vars/SetupMode-Information8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c
The issue here is that because we blindly use VariableNameSize without
verifying its value, we can potentially read garbage values from the
buffer containing VariableName if VariableNameSize is larger than the
length of VariableName.
Since VariableName is a string, we can calculate its size by searching
for the terminating NULL character.

Dave reported a warning when running xfstest 275. We have been leaking delalloc
metadata space when our reservations fail. This is because we were improperly
calculating how much space to free for our checksum reservations. The problem
is we would sometimes free up space that had already been freed in another
thread and we would end up with negative usage for the delalloc space. This
patch fixes the problem by calculating how much space the other threads would
have already freed, and then calculate how much space we need to free had we not
done the reservation at all, and then freeing any excess space. This makes
xfstests 275 no longer have leaked space. Thanks

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".
But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following

time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
device we'll get ENXIO.
loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]
This patch (as1666) fixes a regression in the UDC core. The core
takes care of unbinding gadget drivers, and it does the unbinding
before telling the UDC driver to turn off the controller hardware.
When the call to the udc_stop callback is made, the gadget no longer
has a driver. The callback routine should not be invoked with a
pointer to the old driver; doing so can cause problems (such as
use-after-free accesses in net2280).
This patch should be applied, with appropriate context changes, to all
the stable kernels going back to 3.1.

ridiculous, we have infrastructure in place to throttle if we start using too

Btrfs uses page_mkwrite to ensure stable pages during
crc calculations and mmap workloads. We call clear_page_dirty_for_io
before we do any crcs, and this forces any application with the file
mapped to wait for the crc to finish before it is allowed to change
the file.
With compression on, the clear_page_dirty_for_io step is happening after
we've compressed the pages. This means the applications might be
changing the pages while we are compressing them, and some of those
modifications might not hit the disk.
This commit adds the clear_page_dirty_for_io before compression starts
and makes sure to redirty the page if we have to fallback to
uncompressed IO as well.

If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit
frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request,
the request was not translated and the response would have the
incorrect ID. This may cause the frontend driver to behave
incorrectly or crash.
Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place,
regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a
valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP).
This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend.
This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES
source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would

There is a bug introduced with commit 27c2127 that causes
devices which are hot unplugged and then hot-replugged to
not have per-device dma_ops set. This causes these devices
to not function correctly. Fixed with this patch.
Limit the hardware's reported firmware string length (max 255 bytes) to
stay inside the driver's firmware string length (32 bytes). On overflow,
truncate the formatted firmware string instead of potentially overwriting
portions of the tg3 struct.
When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers
bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example:
offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j];
formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat
number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes:
0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25.
Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring".
When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source
firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected.
This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less
than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one
header/data pair.
Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times
per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver,
this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch
logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming
the logs.

The commit 'ath9k_hw: fix calibration issues on chainmask that don't

for the duration of the calibration, but the revert to user
configuration in the reset path runs too early.
That causes some issues with limiting the number of antennas (including
spurious failure in hardware-generated packets).
Fix this by reverting the chainmask after the essential parts of the
calibration that need the workaround, and before NF calibration is run.

For the s626 driver, there is a bug in the handling of asynchronous
commands on the AI subdevice when the stop source is `TRIG_NONE`. The
command should run continuously until cancelled, but the interrupt
handler stops the command running after the first scan.
The command set-up function `s626_ai_cmd()` contains this code:
switch (cmd->stop_src) {
case TRIG_COUNT:
/* data arrives as one packet */
devpriv->ai_sample_count = cmd->stop_arg;
devpriv->ai_continous = 0;
break;
case TRIG_NONE:
/* continous acquisition */
devpriv->ai_continous = 1;
devpriv->ai_sample_count = 0;
break;
}
The interrupt handler `s626_irq_handler()` contains this code:
if (!(devpriv->ai_continous))
devpriv->ai_sample_count--;
if (devpriv->ai_sample_count <= 0) {
devpriv->ai_cmd_running = 0;
/* ... */
}
So `devpriv->ai_sample_count` is only decremented for the `TRIG_COUNT`
case, but `devpriv->ai_cmd_running` is set to 0 (and the command
stopped) regardless.
Fix this in `s626_ai_cmd()` by setting `devpriv->ai_sample_count = 1`
for the `TRIG_NONE` case. The interrupt handler will not decrement it
so it will remain greater than 0 and the check for stopping the
acquisition will fail.

To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive
scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon
as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back
up the chain, aborting immediately.
This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting
to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the
dash source:
The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked
the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC,
things continue to behave as the shell expects.
Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be
involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through
search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible
for tracking the depth.

a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user.
Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored
and a warning is printed into the syslog.

For large UDF filesystems with 512-byte blocks the number of necessary
bitmap blocks is larger than 2^16 so s_nr_groups in udf_bitmap overflows
(the number will overflow for filesystems larger than 128 GB with
512-byte blocks). That results in ENOSPC errors despite the filesystem
has plenty of free space.
Fix the problem by changing s_nr_groups' type to 'int'. That is enough
even for filesystems 2^32 blocks (UDF maximum) and 512-byte blocksize.

As it stands, irq_exit() may or may not be called with
irqs disabled, depending on __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED
that the arch can define.
It makes tick_nohz_irq_exit() unsafe. For example two
interrupts can race in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(): the inner
most one computes the expiring time on top of the timer list,
then it's interrupted right before reprogramming the
clock. The new interrupt enqueues a new timer list timer,
it reprogram the clock to take it into account and it exits.
The CPUs resumes the inner most interrupt and performs the clock
reprogramming without considering the new timer list timer.
Make sure the interface is not released before our serial device.
Note that drivers are still not allowed to access the interface in
any way that may interfere with another driver that may have gotten
bound to the same interface after disconnect returns.

Unregister tty device in disconnect as is required by the USB stack.
By deferring unregistration to when the last tty reference is dropped,
the parent interface device can get unregistered before the child
resulting in broken hotplug events being generated when the tty is
finally closed:
The driver must deal with tty callbacks after disconnect by checking the
disconnected flag. Specifically, further opens must be prevented and
this is already implemented.

According to XHCI specification (5.5.2.1) the IP is bit 0 and IE is bit 1
of IMAN register. Previously their definitions were reversed.
Even though there are no ill effects being observed from the swapped
definitions (because IMAN_IP is RW1C and in legacy PCI case we come in
with it already set to 1 so it was clearing itself even though we were
setting IMAN_IE instead of IMAN_IP), we should still correct the values.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36, that
contain the commit 4e833c0b87a30798e67f06120cecebef6ee9644c "xhci: don't
re-enable IE constantly".
The increment of "to" in copy_user_handle_tail() will have incremented
before a failure has been noted. This causes us to skip a byte in the
failure case.
Only do the increment when assured there is no failure.
Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices
with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real
hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the
dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core
clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for
programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic.
This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers,
preventing this problem.

Commit f0dc117abdfa ("IPoIB: Fix TX queue lockup with mixed UD/CM
traffic") attempts to solve an issue where unprocessed UD send
completions can deadlock the netdev.
The patch doesn't fully resolve the issue because if more than half
the tx_outstanding's were UD and all of the destinations are RC
reachable, arming the CQ doesn't solve the issue.
This patch uses the IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS on the
ib_req_notify_cq(). If the rc is above 0, the UD send cq completion
callback is called directly to re-arm the send completion timer.
This issue is seen in very large parallel filesystem deployments
and the patch has been shown to correct the issue.

In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
evicted, we can end up calling into jbd2_log_wait_commit() for the
last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.
Arguably we should adjust ext4_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
ext4_evict_inode(), and so to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the
patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by
explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
this case.
This can be easily replicated via:
mount -t ext4 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb
This commit fixes a wrong return value of the number of the allocated
blocks in ext4_split_extent. When the length of blocks we want to
allocate is greater than the length of the current extent, we return a
wrong number. Let's see what happens in the following case when we
call ext4_split_extent().
map: [48, 72]
ex: [32, 64, u]
'ex' will be split into two parts:
ex1: [32, 47, u]
ex2: [48, 64, w]
'map->m_len' is returned from this function, and the value is 24. But
the real length is 16. So it should be fixed.
Meanwhile in this commit we use right length of the allocated blocks
when get_reserved_cluster_alloc in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents
is called.
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() didn't get a reference to journal_head it
was working with. This is OK in most of the cases since the journal head
should be attached to a transaction but in rare occasions when we are
journalling data, __ext4_journalled_writepage() can race with
jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() stripping buffers from a page and thus
journal head can be freed under hands of jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata().
Fix the problem by getting own journal head reference in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() (and also in jbd2_journal_set_triggers()
which can possibly have the same issue).

We've had several reports of people attempting to mount Windows 8 shares
and getting failures with a return code of -EINVAL. The default sec=
mode changed recently to sec=ntlmssp. With that, we expect and parse a
SPNEGO blob from the server in the NEGOTIATE reply.
The current decode_negTokenInit function first parses all of the
mechTypes and then tries to parse the rest of the negTokenInit reply.
The parser however currently expects a mechListMIC or nothing to follow the
mechTypes, but Windows 8 puts a mechToken field there instead to carry
some info for the new NegoEx stuff.
In practice, we don't do anything with the fields after the mechTypes
anyway so I don't see any real benefit in continuing to parse them.
This patch just has the kernel ignore the fields after the mechTypes.
We'll probably need to reinstate some of this if we ever want to support
NegoEx.

hugetlb_total_pages is used for overcommit calculations but the current
implementation considers only the default hugetlb page size (which is
either the first defined hugepage size or the one specified by
default_hugepagesz kernel boot parameter).
If the system is configured for more than one hugepage size, which is
possible since commit a137e1cc6d6e ("hugetlbfs: per mount huge page
sizes") then the overcommit estimation done by __vm_enough_memory()
(resp. shown by meminfo_proc_show) is not precise - there is an
impression of more available/allowed memory. This can lead to an
unexpected ENOMEM/EFAULT resp. SIGSEGV when memory is accounted.
Testcase:
boot: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1
the default overcommit ratio is 50
before patch:
When KMS has parsed an EDID "detailed timing", it leaves the frame rate
zeroed. Consecutive (debug-) output of that mode thus yields 0 for
vsync. This simple fix also speeds up future invocations of
drm_mode_vrefresh().
While it is debatable whether this qualifies as a -stable fix I'd apply
it for consistency's sake; drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes()
does the same thing already for all probed modes.
EDID spreads some values across multiple bytes; bit-fiddling is needed
to retrieve these. The current code to parse "detailed timings" has a
cut&paste error that results in a vsync offset of at most 15 lines
instead of 63.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDID
and in the "EDID Detailed Timing Descriptor" see bytes 10+11 show why
that needs to be a left shift.
It is possible to wrap the counter used to allocate the buffer for
relocation copies. This could lead to heap writing overflows.

Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace
calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done
with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched()
for updates and not a synchronize_rcu().
Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after
a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the
hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched().
Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del().

Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment
of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock.
It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps
happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong
temp buffer to assign in the swap.
Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have
their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two
different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that
this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers.
New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger.
I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports
one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

Masks kernel address info-leak in object dumps with the %pK suffix,
so they cannot be used to target kernel memory corruption attacks if
the kptr_restrict sysctl is set.
Creation of individual mixer controls may fail, but that shouldn't cause
the entire mixer creation to fail. Even worse, if the mixer creation
fails, that will error out the entire device probing.
All the functions called by parse_audio_unit() should return -EINVAL if
they find descriptors that are unsupported or believed to be malformed,
so we can safely handle this error code as a non-fatal condition in
snd_usb_mixer_controls().
That fixes a long standing bug which is commonly worked around by
adding quirks which make the driver ignore entire interfaces. Some of
them might now be unnecessary.
In check_input_term() and parse_audio_feature_unit(), propagate the
error value that has been returned by a failing function instead of
-EINVAL. That helps cleaning up the error pathes in the mixer.
There is a typo in convert_to_spdif_status() about checking the
emphasis IEC958 status bit. It should check the given value instead
of the resultant value.
Using TX push when notifying the NIC of multiple new descriptors in
the ring will very occasionally cause the TX DMA engine to re-use an
old descriptor. This can result in a duplicated or partly duplicated
packet (new headers with old data), or an IOMMU page fault. This does
not happen when the pushed descriptor is the only one written.
TX push also provides little latency benefit when a packet requires
more than one descriptor.

efx_device_detach_sync() locks all TX queues before marking the device
detached and thus disabling further TX scheduling. But it can still
be interrupted by TX completions which then result in TX scheduling in
soft interrupt context. This will deadlock when it tries to acquire
a TX queue lock that efx_device_detach_sync() already acquired.
To avoid deadlock, we must use netif_tx_{,un}lock_bh().

We must only ever stop TX queues when they are full or the net device
is not 'ready' so far as the net core, and specifically the watchdog,
is concerned. Otherwise, the watchdog may fire *immediately* if no
packets have been added to the queue in the last 5 seconds.
The device is ready if all the following are true:
(a) It has a qdisc
(b) It is marked present
(c) It is running
(d) The link is reported up
(a) and (c) are normally true, and must not be changed by a driver.
(d) is under our control, but fake link changes may disturb userland.
This leaves (b). We already mark the device absent during reset
and self-test, but we need to do the same during MTU changes and ring
reallocation. We don't need to do this when the device is brought
down because then (c) is already false.

We may currently allocate two RX DMA buffers to a page, and only unmap
the page when the second is completed. We do not sync the first RX
buffer to be completed; this can result in packet loss or corruption
if the last RX buffer completed in a NAPI poll is the first in a page
and is not DMA-coherent. (In the middle of a NAPI poll, we will
handle the following RX completion and unmap the page *before* looking
at the content of the first buffer.)

MCDI supports requests up to 252 bytes long, which is only enough to

all VF drivers limit themselves to 32 RX queues, so reducing the

Currently VF queues and drivers may remain active during this test.
This could cause memory corruption or spurious test failures.
Therefore we reset the port/function before running these tests on
Siena.
On Falcon this doesn't work: we have to do some additional
initialisation before some blocks will work again. So refactor the
reset/register-test sequence into an efx_nic_type method so
efx_selftest() doesn't have to consider such quirks.
In the process, fix another minor bug: Siena does not have an
'invisible' reset and the self-test currently fails to push the PHY
configuration after resetting. Passing RESET_TYPE_ALL to
efx_reset_{down,up}() fixes this.

efx_mcdi_poll() uses get_seconds() to read the current time and to
implement a polling timeout. The use of this function was chosen
partly because it could easily be replaced in a co-sim environment
with a macro that read the simulated time.
Unfortunately the real get_seconds() returns the system time (real
time) which is subject to adjustment by e.g. ntpd. If the system time
is adjusted forward during a polled MCDI operation, the effective
timeout can be shorter than the intended 10 seconds, resulting in a
spurious failure. It is also possible for a backward adjustment to
delay detection of a areal failure.
Use jiffies instead, and change MCDI_RPC_TIMEOUT to be denominated in
jiffies. Also correct rounding of the timeout: check time > finish
(or rather time_after(time, finish)) and not time >= finish.
