Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore

As noted by Steve Chen, since commit f5fff5dc8a7a3f395b0525c02ba92c95d42b7390 ("tcp: advertise MSS
requested by user") we can end up with a situation where
tcp_select_initial_window() does a divide by a zero (or
even negative) mss value.
The problem is that sometimes we effectively subtract
TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED and/or TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED from the mss.
Fix this by increasing the minimum from 8 to 64.

The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes to be
ordered without adding an explicit barrier.
In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data.
With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a
stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it.
The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header and data
are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order we may have data
that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use hardware checksumming this
bad data is never verified and it makes it all the way to the application.
This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has been shown
to fix it.

In prepare_kernel_cred() since 2.6.29, put_cred(new) is called without
assigning new->usage when security_prepare_creds() returned an error. As a
result, memory for new and refcount for new->{user,group_info,tgcred} are
leaked because put_cred(new) won't call __put_cred() unless old->usage == 1.
Fix these leaks by assigning new->usage (and new->subscribers which was added
in 2.6.32) before calling security_prepare_creds().
In cred_alloc_blank() since 2.6.32, abort_creds(new) is called with
new->security == NULL and new->magic == 0 when security_cred_alloc_blank()
returns an error. As a result, BUG() will be triggered if SELinux is enabled
or CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y, BUG() is called from __invalid_creds() because
cred->magic == 0. Failing that, BUG() is called from selinux_cred_free()
because selinux_cred_free() is not expecting cred->security == NULL. This does
not affect smack_cred_free(), tomoyo_cred_free() or apparmor_cred_free().
Fix these bugs by
(1) Set new->magic before calling security_cred_alloc_blank().
(2) Handle null cred->security in creds_are_invalid() and selinux_cred_free().
In get_empty_filp() since 2.6.29, file_free(f) is called with f->f_cred == NULL
when security_file_alloc() returned an error. As a result, kernel will panic()
due to put_cred(NULL) call within RCU callback.
Fix this bug by assigning f->f_cred before calling security_file_alloc().
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.
What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():
However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.
If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.
We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.
Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:
If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the
system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller
value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore).
Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain
continues to see clock updates.
x25 does not decrement the network device reference counts on module unload.
Thus unregistering any pre-existing interface after unloading the x25 module
hangs and results in
unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 1
This patch decrements the reference counts of all interfaces in x25_link_free,
the way it is already done in x25_link_device_down for NETDEV_DOWN events.

The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids

returned. The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id
in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the
id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an
out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent
function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption. This patch resets
the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be
returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.

If nfsd fails to find an exported via NFS file in the readahead cache, it

In a kernel with NFSDv4 compiled in the corruption takes the form of an
increment of a counter of the number of NFSv4 operation 0's received; since
there is no operation 0, this is harmless.
In a kernel with NFSDv4 disabled it corrupts whatever happens to be in the

When there's an xHCI host power loss after a suspend from memory, the USB
core attempts to reset and verify the USB devices that are attached to the
system. The xHCI driver has to reallocate those devices, since the
hardware lost all knowledge of them during the power loss.
When a hub is plugged in, and the host loses power, the xHCI hardware
structures are not updated to say the device is a hub. This is usually
done in hub_configure() when the USB hub is detected. That function is
skipped during a reset and verify by the USB core, since the core restores
the old configuration and alternate settings, and the hub driver has no
idea this happened. This bug makes the xHCI host controller reject the
enumeration of low speed devices under the resumed hub.
Therefore, make the USB core re-setup the internal xHCI hub device
information by calling update_hub_device() when hub_activate() is called
for a hub reset resume. After a host power loss, all devices under the
roothub get a reset-resume or a disconnect.
This patch should be queued for the 2.6.37 stable tree.

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.
Without tmpfs, shmem_readpage() is not compiled in causing an OOPS as
soon as we try to allocate some swappable pages for GEM.

No longer needlessly hold md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex when changing the
size of a DM device. This additional locking is unnecessary because
i_size_write() is already protected by the existing critical section in
dm_swap_table(). DM already has a reference on md->bdev so the
associated bd_inode may be changed without lifetime concerns.
A negative side-effect of having held md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex was
that a concurrent DM device resize and flush (via fsync) would deadlock.
Dropping md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex eliminates this potential for
deadlock. The following reproducer no longer deadlocks:

Some Lenovos have TPMs that require a quirk to function correctly. This can
be autodetected by checking whether the device has a _HID of INTC0102. This
is an invalid PNPid, and as such is discarded by the pnp layer - however
it's still present in the ACPI code, so we can pull it out that way. This
means that the quirk won't be automatically applied on non-ACPI systems,
but without ACPI we don't have any way to identify the chip anyway so I
don't think that's a great concern.

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

This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add

This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel to which 1a855a0606 was

We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be?
It turns out commit 54fdade1c3332391948ec43530c02c4794a38172
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.
The problem comes about because:
- The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
without any locking.
- We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
- We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
smp_call_function_many.
Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:
CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
data from CPU A on list
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
(stale) CPU A on list
smp_call_function int
clears last ref on A
list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
data->cpumask sees and
clears bit in cpumask
might be using old or new fn!
decrements refs below 0
set data->refs (too late!)
The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.

I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous

->refs _again_.

Regression since commit 10389536742c, "firewire: core: check for 1394a
compliant IRM, fix inaccessibility of Sony camcorder":
The camcorder Canon MV5i generates lots of bus resets when asynchronous
requests are sent to it (e.g. Config ROM read requests or FCP Command
write requests) if the camcorder is not root node. This causes drop-
outs in videos or makes the camcorder entirely inaccessible.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633260
Fix this by allowing any Canon device, even if it is a pre-1394a IRM
like MV5i are, to remain root node (if it is at least Cycle Master
capable). With the FireWire controller cards that I tested, MV5i always
becomes root node when plugged in and left to its own devices.

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

Commit 7667aa0630407bc07dc38dcc79d29cc0a65553c1 added logic to wait for
the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request),
so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously
backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last
queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has
requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the
flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy
is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the
queue.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already
has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices
do not expire early.
The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers.
Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.

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

your driver which simply adds the product ID for the device and it
seems working fine.
Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire
1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following
commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression.
x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init
Because of the UP configuration of that platform,
native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check())
before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init()
Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the
delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with
mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot
processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the
start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this
shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the
reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via
set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are
different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual
write only if they are different.
BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and
typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it
on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So
on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's
happens and all is well.
However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed
mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we
double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR
registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up
reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of
the OS boot.
During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi
handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup.
We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the
commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3, because only
the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP
had at the start of the OS boot.
Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before
continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if
any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot.
[ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start
of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to
handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during
suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values
to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might
be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ]

net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the
network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier
to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace
with a well known name.
We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace
for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep
that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing
logic into rtnl_link_get_net.
In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace
to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base
device source network namespace.

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.
Remove real devices first and dummy devices last. This gives device
driver which instantiated dummy devices themselves a chance to clean
them up before we do.

pci-stub uses strsep() to separate list of ids and generates a warning
message when it fails to parse an id. However, not specifying the
parameter results in ids set to an empty string. strsep() happily
returns the empty string as the first token and thus triggers the
warning message spuriously.
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.

gcc 4.5+ doesn't properly evaluate some inlined expressions.
A previous patch were proposed by Andrew Morton using noinline.
However, the entire inlined function is bogus, so let's just
remove it and be happy.
There was a configuration page timing out during the initial port
enable at driver load time. The port enable would fail, and this would
result in the driver unloading itself, meanwhile the driver was accessing
freed memory in another context resulting in the panic. The fix is to
prevent access to freed memory once the driver had issued the diag reset
which woke up the sleeping port enable process. The routine
_base_reset_handler was reorganized so the last sleeping process woken up was
the port_enable.
The ioc->hba_queue_depth is not properly resized when the controller
firmware reports that it supports more outstanding IO than what can be fit
inside the reply descriptor pool depth. This is reproduced by setting the
controller global credits larger than 30,000. The bug results in an
incorrect sizing of the queues. The fix is to resize the queue_size by
dividing queue_diff by two.
When zoning end devices, the driver is not sending device
removal handshake alogrithm to firmware. This results in controller
firmware not sending sas topology add events the next time the device is
added. The fix is the driver should be doing the device removal handshake
even though the PHYSTATUS_VACANT bit is set in the PhyStatus of the
event data. The current design is avoiding the handshake when the
VACANT bit is set in the phy status.
Issue:
IR shutdown(sending) and IR shutdown(complete) messages not
listed in /var/log/messages when driver is removed.
The driver needs to issue a MPI2_RAID_ACTION_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN_INITIATED
request when the driver is unloaded so the IR metadata journal is updated.
If this request is not sent, then the volume would need a "check
consistency" issued on the next bootup if the volume was roamed from one
initiator to another. The current driver supports this feature only when the
system is rebooted, however this also need to be supported if the driver is
unloaded
Fix:
To fix this issue, the driver is going
to need to call the _scsih_ir_shutdown prior to reporting
the volumes missing from the OS, hence the device handles
are still present.
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.
