      bufferhead: Add _gfp version for sb_getblk() · 52a0b6ce
      Nikolay Borisov authored
      commit bd7ade3c upstream.
      
      sb_getblk() is used during ext4 (and possibly other FSes) writeback
      paths. Sometimes such path require allocating memory and guaranteeing
      that such allocation won't block. Currently, however, there is no way
      to provide user flags for sb_getblk which could lead to deadlocks.
      
      This patch implements a sb_getblk_gfp with the only difference it can
      accept user-provided GFP flags.

      Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after append write · 895ee048
      Filipe Manana authored
      commit e4545de5 upstream.
      
      If we do an append write to a file (which increases its inode's i_size)
      that does not have the flag BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set in its inode,
      and the previous transaction added a new hard link to the file, which sets
      the flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING in the file's inode, and then fsync
      the file, the inode's new i_size isn't logged. This has the consequence
      that after the fsync log is replayed, the file size remains what it was
      before the append write operation, which means users/applications will
      not be able to read the data that was successsfully fsync'ed before.
      
      This happens because neither the inode item nor the delayed inode get
      their i_size updated when the append write is made - doing so would
      require starting a transaction in the buffered write path, something that
      we do not do intentionally for performance reasons.
      
      Fix this by making sure that when the flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING is
      set the inode is logged with its current i_size (log the in-memory inode
      into the log tree).
      
      This issue is not a recent regression and is easy to reproduce with the
      following test case for fstests:
      
        seq=`basename $0`
        seqres=$RESULT_DIR/$seq
        echo "QA output created by $seq"
      
        here=`pwd`
        tmp=/tmp/$$
        status=1	# failure is the default!
      
        _cleanup()
        {
                _cleanup_flakey

      Btrfs: fix race between caching kthread and returning inode to inode cache · ff30e038
      Filipe Manana authored
      commit ae9d8f17 upstream.
      
      While the inode cache caching kthread is calling btrfs_unpin_free_ino(),
      we could have a concurrent call to btrfs_return_ino() that adds a new
      entry to the root's free space cache of pinned inodes. This concurrent
      call does not acquire the fs_info->commit_root_sem before adding a new
      entry if the caching state is BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED, which is a problem
      because the caching kthread calls btrfs_unpin_free_ino() after setting
      the caching state to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED and therefore races with
      the task calling btrfs_return_ino(), which is adding a new entry, while
      the former (caching kthread) is navigating the cache's rbtree, removing
      and freeing nodes from the cache's rbtree without acquiring the spinlock
      that protects the rbtree.
      
      This race resulted in memory corruption due to double free of struct
      btrfs_free_space objects because both tasks can end up doing freeing the
      same objects. Note that adding a new entry can result in merging it with
      other entries in the cache, in which case those entries are freed.
      This is particularly important as btrfs_free_space structures are also
      used for the block group free space caches.
      
      This memory corruption can be detected by a debugging kernel, which
      reports it with the following trace:

      Btrfs: use kmem_cache_free when freeing entry in inode cache · 4899b628
      Filipe Manana authored
      commit c3f4a168 upstream.
      
      The free space entries are allocated using kmem_cache_zalloc(),
      through __btrfs_add_free_space(), therefore we should use
      kmem_cache_free() and not kfree() to avoid any confusion and
      any potential problem. Looking at the kfree() definition at
      mm/slab.c it has the following comment:
      
        /*
         * (...)
         *
         * Don't free memory not originally allocated by kmalloc()
         * or you will run into trouble.
         */
      
      So better be safe and use kmem_cache_free().

      evm: labeling pseudo filesystems exception · 00cc0819
      Mimi Zohar authored
      commit 5101a185 upstream.
      
      To prevent offline stripping of existing file xattrs and relabeling of
      them at runtime, EVM allows only newly created files to be labeled.  As
      pseudo filesystems are not persistent, stripping of xattrs is not a
      concern.
      
      Some LSMs defer file labeling on pseudo filesystems.  This patch
      permits the labeling of existing files on pseudo files systems.

      ieee802154: Fix sockaddr_ieee802154 implicit padding information leak. · 18ffb713
      Lennert Buytenhek authored
      commit 8a70cefa upstream.
      
      The AF_IEEE802154 sockaddr looks like this:
      
      	struct sockaddr_ieee802154 {
      		sa_family_t family; /* AF_IEEE802154 */
      		struct ieee802154_addr_sa addr;
      	};
      
      	struct ieee802154_addr_sa {
      		int addr_type;
      		u16 pan_id;
      		union {
      			u8 hwaddr[IEEE802154_ADDR_LEN];
      			u16 short_addr;
      		};
      	};
      
      On most architectures there will be implicit structure padding here,
      in two different places:
      
      * In struct sockaddr_ieee802154, two bytes of padding between 'family'
        (unsigned short) and 'addr', so that 'addr' starts on a four byte
        boundary.
      
      * In struct ieee802154_addr_sa, two bytes at the end of the structure,
        to make the structure 16 bytes.
      
      When calling recvmsg(2) on a PF_IEEE802154 SOCK_DGRAM socket, the
      ieee802154 stack constructs a struct sockaddr_ieee802154 on the
      kernel stack without clearing these padding fields, and, depending
      on the addr_type, between four and ten bytes of uncleared kernel
      stack will be copied to userspace.
      
      We can't just insert two 'u16 __pad's in the right places and zero
      those before copying an address to userspace, as not all architectures
      insert this implicit padding -- from a quick test it seems that avr32,
      cris and m68k don't insert this padding, while every other architecture
      that I have cross compilers for does insert this padding.
      
      The easiest way to plug the leak is to just memset the whole struct
      sockaddr_ieee802154 before filling in the fields we want to fill in,
      and that's what this patch does.
