      [media] media/rc: Send sync space information on the lirc device · 1d8d26c7
      Austin Lund authored 
      commit a8f29e89 upstream.

Userspace expects to see a long space before the first pulse is sent on
the lirc device.  Currently, if a long time has passed and a new packet
is started, the lirc codec just returns and doesn't send anything.  This
makes lircd ignore many perfectly valid signals unless they are sent in
quick sucession.  When a reset event is delivered, we cannot know
anything about the duration of the space.  But it should be safe to
assume it has been a long time and we just set the duration to maximum.

      rbd: drop an unsafe assertion · 15c029a9
      Alex Elder authored 
      commit 638c323c upstream.

Olivier Bonvalet reported having repeated crashes due to a failed
assertion he was hitting in rbd_img_obj_callback():

    Assertion failure in rbd_img_obj_callback() at line 2165:
	rbd_assert(which >= img_request->next_completion);

With a lot of help from Olivier with reproducing the problem
we were able to determine the object and image requests had
already been completed (and often freed) at the point the
assertion failed.

There was a great deal of discussion on the ceph-devel mailing list
about this.  The problem only arose when there were two (or more)
object requests in an image request, and the problem was always
seen when the second request was being completed.

The problem is due to a race in the window between setting the
"done" flag on an object request and checking the image request's
next completion value.  When the first object request completes, it
checks to see if its successor request is marked "done", and if
so, that request is also completed.  In the process, the image
request's next_completion value is updated to reflect that both
the first and second requests are completed.  By the time the
second request is able to check the next_completion value, it
has been set to a value *greater* than its own "which" value,
which caused an assertion to fail.

Fix this problem by skipping over any completion processing
unless the completing object request is the next one expected.
Test only for inequality (not >=), and eliminate the bad
assertion.

      net: sctp: fix passing wrong parameter header to param_type2af in sctp_process_param · 7b7685e3
      Saran Maruti Ramanara authored 
      [ Upstream commit cfbf654e ]

When making use of RFC5061, section 4.2.4. for setting the primary IP
address, we're passing a wrong parameter header to param_type2af(),
resulting always in NULL being returned.

At this point, param.p points to a sctp_addip_param struct, containing
a sctp_paramhdr (type = 0xc004, length = var), and crr_id as a correlation
id. Followed by that, as also presented in RFC5061 section 4.2.4., comes
the actual sctp_addr_param, which also contains a sctp_paramhdr, but
this time with the correct type SCTP_PARAM_IPV{4,6}_ADDRESS that
param_type2af() can make use of. Since we already hold a pointer to
addr_param from previous line, just reuse it for param_type2af().

      ppp: deflate: never return len larger than output buffer · 030892ea
      Florian Westphal authored 
      [ Upstream commit e2a4800e ]

When we've run out of space in the output buffer to store more data, we
will call zlib_deflate with a NULL output buffer until we've consumed
remaining input.

When this happens, olen contains the size the output buffer would have
consumed iff we'd have had enough room.

This can later cause skb_over_panic when ppp_generic skb_put()s
the returned length.

      ipv4: tcp: get rid of ugly unicast_sock · 1a95b47a
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      [ Upstream commit bdbbb852 ]

In commit be9f4a44 ("ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sock")
I tried to address contention on a socket lock, but the solution
I chose was horrible :

commit 3a7c384f ("ipv4: tcp: unicast_sock should not land outside
of TCP stack") addressed a selinux regression.

commit 0980e56e ("ipv4: tcp: set unicast_sock uc_ttl to -1")
took care of another regression.

commit b5ec8eea ("ipv4: fix ip_send_skb()") fixed another regression.

commit 811230cd ("tcp: ipv4: initialize unicast_sock sk_pacing_rate")
was another shot in the dark.

Really, just use a proper socket per cpu, and remove the skb_orphan()
call, to re-enable flow control.

This solves a serious problem with FQ packet scheduler when used in
hostile environments, as we do not want to allocate a flow structure
for every RST packet sent in response to a spoofed packet.

Reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92081

This patch avoids calling rtnl_notify if the device ndo_bridge_getlink
handler does not return any bytes in the skb.

Alternately, the skb->len check can be moved inside rtnl_notify.

For the bridge vlan case described in 92081, there is also a fix needed
in bridge driver to generate a proper notification. Will fix that in
subsequent patch.

      ping: Fix race in free in receive path · 757651a7
      subashab@codeaurora.org authored 
      [ Upstream commit fc752f1f ]

An exception is seen in ICMP ping receive path where the skb
destructor sock_rfree() tries to access a freed socket. This happens
because ping_rcv() releases socket reference with sock_put() and this
internally frees up the socket. Later icmp_rcv() will try to free the
skb and as part of this, skb destructor is called and which leads
to a kernel panic as the socket is freed already in ping_rcv().

      udp_diag: Fix socket skipping within chain · fd09a4de
      Herbert Xu authored 
      [ Upstream commit 86f3cddb ]

While working on rhashtable walking I noticed that the UDP diag
dumping code is buggy.  In particular, the socket skipping within
a chain never happens, even though we record the number of sockets
that should be skipped.

As this code was supposedly copied from TCP, this patch does what
TCP does and resets num before we walk a chain.

      ipv4: try to cache dst_entries which would cause a redirect · 8277cc54
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored 
      [ Upstream commit df4d9254 ]

Not caching dst_entries which cause redirects could be exploited by hosts
on the same subnet, causing a severe DoS attack. This effect aggravated
since commit f8864972 ("ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()").

Lookups causing redirects will be allocated with DST_NOCACHE set which
will force dst_release to free them via RCU.  Unfortunately waiting for
RCU grace period just takes too long, we can end up with >1M dst_entries
waiting to be released and the system will run OOM. rcuos threads cannot
catch up under high softirq load.

Attaching the flag to emit a redirect later on to the specific skb allows
us to cache those dst_entries thus reducing the pressure on allocation
and deallocation.

This issue was discovered by Marcelo Leitner.

      net: sctp: fix slab corruption from use after free on INIT collisions · 43e39c2f
      Daniel Borkmann authored 
      [ Upstream commit 600ddd68 ]

When hitting an INIT collision case during the 4WHS with AUTH enabled, as
already described in detail in commit 1be9a950 ("net: sctp: inherit
auth_capable on INIT collisions"), it can happen that we occasionally
still remotely trigger the following panic on server side which seems to
have been uncovered after the fix from commit 1be9a950 ...

Since this only triggers in some collision-cases with AUTH, the problem at
heart is that sctp_auth_key_put() on asoc->asoc_shared_key is called twice
when having refcnt 1, once directly in sctp_assoc_update() and yet again
from within sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() via sctp_assoc_update() on
the already kzfree'd memory, which is also consistent with the observation
of the poison decrease from 0x6b to 0x6a (note: the overwrite is detected
at a later point in time when poison is checked on new allocation).

Reference counting of auth keys revisited:

Shared keys for AUTH chunks are being stored in endpoints and associations
in endpoint_shared_keys list. On endpoint creation, a null key is being
added; on association creation, all endpoint shared keys are being cached
and thus cloned over to the association. struct sctp_shared_key only holds
a pointer to the actual key bytes, that is, struct sctp_auth_bytes which
keeps track of users internally through refcounting. Naturally, on assoc
or enpoint destruction, sctp_shared_key are being destroyed directly and
the reference on sctp_auth_bytes dropped.

User space can add keys to either list via setsockopt(2) through struct
sctp_authkey and by passing that to sctp_auth_set_key() which replaces or
adds a new auth key. There, sctp_auth_create_key() creates a new sctp_auth_bytes
with refcount 1 and in case of replacement drops the reference on the old
sctp_auth_bytes. A key can be set active from user space through setsockopt()
on the id via sctp_auth_set_active_key(), which iterates through either
endpoint_shared_keys and in case of an assoc, invokes (one of various places)
sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key().

sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() computes the actual secret from local's
and peer's random, hmac and shared key parameters and returns a new key
directly as sctp_auth_bytes, that is asoc->asoc_shared_key, plus drops
the reference if there was a previous one. The secret, which where we
eventually double drop the ref comes from sctp_auth_asoc_set_secret() with
intitial refcount of 1, which also stays unchanged eventually in
sctp_assoc_update(). This key is later being used for crypto layer to
set the key for the hash in crypto_hash_setkey() from sctp_auth_calculate_hmac().

To close the loop: asoc->asoc_shared_key is freshly allocated secret
material and independant of the sctp_shared_key management keeping track
of only shared keys in endpoints and assocs. Hence, also commit 4184b2a7
("net: sctp: fix memory leak in auth key management") is independant of
this bug here since it concerns a different layer (though same structures
being used eventually). asoc->asoc_shared_key is reference dropped correctly
on assoc destruction in sctp_association_free() and when active keys are
being replaced in sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key(), it always has a refcount
of 1. Hence, it's freed prematurely in sctp_assoc_update(). Simple fix is
to remove that sctp_auth_key_put() from there which fixes these panics.

      net: rps: fix cpu unplug · 488070c6
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      [ Upstream commit ac64da0b ]

softnet_data.input_pkt_queue is protected by a spinlock that
we must hold when transferring packets from victim queue to an active
one. This is because other cpus could still be trying to enqueue packets
into victim queue.

A second problem is that when we transfert the NAPI poll_list from
victim to current cpu, we absolutely need to special case the percpu
backlog, because we do not want to add complex locking to protect
process_queue : Only owner cpu is allowed to manipulate it, unless cpu
is offline.

Based on initial patch from Prasad Sodagudi & Subash Abhinov
Kasiviswanathan.

This version is better because we do not slow down packet processing,
only make migration safer.

      ip: zero sockaddr returned on error queue · 7c82148b
      Willem de Bruijn authored 
      [ Upstream commit f812116b ]

The sockaddr is returned in IP(V6)_RECVERR as part of errhdr. That
structure is defined and allocated on the stack as

    struct {
            struct sock_extended_err ee;
            struct sockaddr_in(6)    offender;
    } errhdr;

The second part is only initialized for certain SO_EE_ORIGIN values.
Always initialize it completely.

An MTU exceeded error on a SOCK_RAW/IPPROTO_RAW is one example that
would return uninitialized bytes.

Also verified that there is no padding between errhdr.ee and
errhdr.offender that could leak additional kernel data.

      workqueue: fix subtle pool management issue which can stall whole worker_pool · c6662b96
      Tejun Heo authored 
      commit 29187a9e upstream.

A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the
last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and
summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely
manner before proceeding to execute work items.

This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates
whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return
value.  This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the
manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should
proceed to work item execution.

Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed
to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head
of the function.  need_to_create_worker() tests the following
conditions.

	pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle

The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus
won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change
asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely
to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some
other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero.

If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero
nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work
items.  If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource
which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that
pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more
workers or summon the rescuers.

This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from
maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff
there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker
doesn't start executing work items.

We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return
value but the only reason it was put there is because the
manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of
workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying
to reduce the number of workers.  Now that manage_workers() is called
only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit
condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless.

Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which
trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.

tj: Updated to v3.14 where manage_workers() is responsible not only
    for creating more workers but also destroying surplus ones.
    maybe_create_worker() needs to keep its early exit condition to
    avoid creating a new worker when manage_workers() is called to
    destroy surplus ones.  Other than that, the adaptabion is
    straight-forward.  Both maybe_{create|destroy}_worker() functions
    are converted to return void and manage_workers() returns %false
    iff it lost manager arbitration.
