      batman-adv: Fix invalid read while copying bat_iv.bcast_own · 13bbdd37
      Sven Eckelmann authored
      batadv_iv_ogm_orig_del_if removes a part of the bcast_own which previously
      belonged to the now removed interface. This is done by copying all data
      which comes before the removed interface and then appending all the data
      which comes after the removed interface.
      
      The address calculation for the position of the data which comes after the
      removed interface assumed that the bat_iv.bcast_own is a pointer to a
      single byte datatype. But it is a pointer to unsigned long and thus the
      calculated position was wrong off factor sizeof(unsigned long).
      
      Fixes: 83a8342678a0 ("more basic routing code added (forwarding packets /
      bitarray added)")

           This does not affect production kernels.  Only kernels where

      tile: provide CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB etc for tilepro · c1b27ab5
      Chris Metcalf authored
      This allows the build system to know that it can't attempt to
      configure the Lustre virtual block device, for example, when tilepro
      is using 64KB pages (as it does by default).  The tilegx build
      already provided those symbols.
      
      Previously we required that the tilepro hypervisor be rebuilt with
      a different hardcoded page size in its headers, and then Linux be
      rebuilt using the updated hypervisor header.  Now we allow each of
      the hypervisor and Linux to be built independently.  We still check
      at boot time to ensure that the page size provided by the hypervisor
      matches what Linux expects.

      af_unix: Fix splice-bind deadlock · c845acb3
      Rainer Weikusat authored
      On 2015/11/06, Dmitry Vyukov reported a deadlock involving the splice
      system call and AF_UNIX sockets,
      
      http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2015/11/06/24
      
      The situation was analyzed as
      
      (a while ago) A: socketpair()
      B: splice() from a pipe to /mnt/regular_file
      	does sb_start_write() on /mnt
      C: try to freeze /mnt
      	wait for B to finish with /mnt
      A: bind() try to bind our socket to /mnt/new_socket_name
      	lock our socket, see it not bound yet
      	decide that it needs to create something in /mnt
      	try to do sb_start_write() on /mnt, block (it's
      	waiting for C).
      D: splice() from the same pipe to our socket
      	lock the pipe, see that socket is connected
      	try to lock the socket, block waiting for A
      B:	get around to actually feeding a chunk from
      	pipe to file, try to lock the pipe.  Deadlock.
      
      on 2015/11/10 by Al Viro,
      
      http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2015/11/10/4
      
      The patch fixes this by removing the kern_path_create related code from
      unix_mknod and executing it as part of unix_bind prior acquiring the
      readlock of the socket in question. This means that A (as used above)
      will sb_start_write on /mnt before it acquires the readlock, hence, it
      won't indirectly block B which first did a sb_start_write and then
      waited for a thread trying to acquire the readlock. Consequently, A
      being blocked by C waiting for B won't cause a deadlock anymore
      (effectively, both A and B acquire two locks in opposite order in the
      situation described above).
      
      Dmitry Vyukov(<dvyukov@google.com>) tested the original patch.
