[PATCH] softmac: Fix deadlock of wx_set_essid with assoc work
The essid wireless extension does deadlock against the assoc mutex,
as we don't unlock the assoc mutex when flushing the workqueue, which
also holds the lock.
If root raised the default wakeup threshold over the size of the
output pool, the pool transfer function could overflow the stack with
RNG bytes, causing a DoS or potential privilege escalation.

Otherwise, further netpoll_cleanup()'s see np->dev->npinfo == NULL and
become no-ops, thus leaking. And it's a bug too: the first call to

[IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw sockets
From: Dmitry Butskoy <dmitry@butskoy.name>
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747
Problem Description:
It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp
and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected.
There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages
to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket
is CONNECTED. The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses.
Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is
looked up usual way, it is something like:
sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif);
where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local
address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end).
But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in
net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed
fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e. "daddr" is the original destination
address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address. Hence, for
icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr"
...
Steps to reproduce:
Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error
situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach.
Set IPV6_RECVERR .
Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN).
You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the
socket do not receive it.
If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE
successfully. (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual
checks for local/remote addresses).

configurable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM in 2.6.17. Now Petr Vandrovec reports that
its BUG_ON(mapcount > 100000) can easily crash a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y system.
That limit was just an arbitrary number to protect against an infinite
loop. We could raise it to something enormous (depending on sizeof struct
vma and size of memory?); but I rather think validate_anon_vma has outlived
its usefulness, and is better just removed - which gives a magnificent
performance boost to anything like Petr's test program ;)
Of course, a very long anon_vma list is bad news for preemption latency,
and I believe there has been one recent report of such: let's not forget
that, but validate_anon_vma only makes it worse not better.

[PATCH] POWERPC: Fix subtle FP state corruption bug in signal return on SMP
This fixes a bug which can cause corruption of the floating-point state
on return from a signal handler. If we have a signal handler that has
used the floating-point registers, and it happens to context-switch to
another task while copying the interrupted floating-point state from the
user stack into the thread struct (e.g. because of a page fault, or
because it gets preempted), the context switch code will think that the
FP registers contain valid FP state that needs to be copied into the
thread_struct, and will thus overwrite the values that the signal return
code has put into the thread_struct.
This can occur because we clear the MSR bits that indicate the presence
of valid FP state after copying the state into the thread_struct. To fix
this we just move the clearing of the MSR bits to before the copy. A
similar potential problem also occurs with the Altivec state, and this
fixes that in the same way.

[PATCH] pi-futex: Fix exit races and locking problems
1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed
exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks.
2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious.
3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc.
Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected
and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem
is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like
each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-)
4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK,
when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment
in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension.
I guess someone already saw this, the chunk:
if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex))
ret = 0;
is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the
rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous
owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid.
I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()
and making all the work in context of process taking lock.
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding
an additional state transition to the exit code.
This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults
is not able to release the futexes.
Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH
problem finally.
Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup
in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access
functions.
This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()
Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()
Added some error checks for verification.
The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

[chrisw: backport to 2.6.20] Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
The unix_state_*() locking macros imply that there is some
rwlock kind of thing going on, but the implementation is
actually a spinlock which makes the code more confusing than
it needs to be.
So use plain unix_state_lock and unix_state_unlock.
Based upon an excellent bug report and initial patch by
Frederik Deweerdt.
The UNIX datagram connect code blindly dereferences other->sk_socket
via the call down to the security_unix_may_send() function.
Without locking 'other' that pointer can go NULL via unix_release_sock()
which does sock_orphan() which also marks the socket SOCK_DEAD.
So we have to lock both 'sk' and 'other' yet avoid all kinds of
potential deadlocks (connect to self is OK for datagram sockets and it
is possible for two datagram sockets to perform a simultaneous connect
to each other). So what we do is have a "double lock" function similar
to how we handle this situation in other areas of the kernel. We take
the lock of the socket pointer with the smallest address first in
order to avoid ABBA style deadlocks.
Once we have them both locked, we check to see if SOCK_DEAD is set
for 'other' and if so, drop everything and retry the lookup.
