commit 2cbba75a upstream. Users of jffs2_do_reserve_space() expect they still held erase_completion_lock after call to it. But there is a path where jffs2_do_reserve_space() leaves erase_completion_lock unlocked. The patch fixes it. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

commit c6567ed1 upstream. This patch ensures that we free the rpc_task after the cleanup callbacks are done in order to avoid a deadlock problem that can be triggered if the callback needs to wait for another workqueue item to complete.

commit 24ec19b0 upstream. In ext4_xattr_set_acl(), if ext4_journal_start() returns an error, posix_acl_release() will not be called for 'acl' which may result in a memory leak. This patch fixes that.

commit b9fbb62e upstream. mfd_remove_devices would iterate over all devices sharing a parent with an mfd device regardless of whether they were allocated by the mfd core or not. This especially caused problems when the device structure was not contained within a platform_device, because to_platform_device is used on each device pointer. This patch defines a device_type for mfd devices and checks this is present from mfd_remove_devices_fn before processing the device.

commit 9f4ad44b upstream. The lockdep warning below is in theory correct but it will be in really weird rare situation that ends up that deadlock since the tcm fc session is hashed based the rport id. Nonetheless, the complaining below is about rcu callback that does the transport_deregister_session() is happening in softirq, where transport_register_session() that happens earlier is not. This triggers the lockdep warning below. So, just fix this to make lockdep happy by disabling the soft irq before calling transport_register_session() in ft_prli. BTW, this was found in FCoE VN2VN over two VMs, couple of create and destroy would get this triggered. v1: was enforcing register to be in softirq context which was not righ. See, http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg03614.html v2: following comments from Roland&Nick (thanks), it seems we don't have to do transport_deregister_session() in rcu callback, so move it into ft_sess_free() but still do kfree() of the corresponding ft_sess struct in rcu callback to make sure the ft_sess is not freed till the rcu callback. ...

commit 5416912a upstream. ata_device->dma_mode's initial value is zero, which is not a valid dma mode, but ata_dma_enabled will return true for this value. This patch sets dma_mode to 0xff in reset function, so that ata_dma_enabled will not return true for this case, or it will cause problem for pata_acpi.

commit 3100d49d upstream. sata_promise's pdc_hard_reset_port() needs to serialize because it flips a port-specific bit in controller register that's shared by all ports. The code takes the ata host lock for this, but that's broken because an interrupt may arrive on our irq during the hard reset sequence, and that too will take the ata host lock. With lockdep enabled a big nasty warning is seen. Fixed by adding private state to the ata host structure, containing a second lock used only for serializing the hard reset sequences. This eliminated the lockdep warnings both on my test rig and on the original reporter's machine.

commit a394aac8 upstream. When the qla2xxx driver loses access to multiple, remote ports, there is a race condition which can occur which will keep the request stuck on a scsi request queue indefinitely. This bad state occurred do to a race condition with how the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit is set in qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and how it is cleared in qla2x00_do_dpc(). The problem port has its drport pointer set, but it has never been processed by the driver to inform the fc transport that the port has been lost. qla2x00_schedule_rport_del() sets drport, and then sets the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit. In qla2x00_do_dpc(), the port lists are walked and any drport pointer is handled and the fc transport informed of the port loss, then the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit is cleared. This leaves a race where the dpc thread is processing one port removal, another port removal is marked with a call to qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and the dpc thread clears the bit for both removals, even though only the first removal was actually handled. Until another event occurs to set FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED, the later port removal is never finished and qla2xxx stays in a bad state which causes requests to become stuck on request queues. This patch updates the driver to test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED atomically. This ensures the port state changes are processed and not lost.

commit beecadea upstream. The macro bit(n) is defined as ((u32)1 << n), and thus it doesn't work with n >= 32, such as in mvs_94xx_assign_reg_set(): if (i >= 32) { mvi->sata_reg_set |= bit(i); ... } The shift ((u32)1 << n) with n >= 32 also leads to undefined behavior. The result varies depending on the architecture. This patch changes bit(n) to do a 64-bit shift. It also simplifies mv_ffc64() using __ffs64(), since invoking ffz() with ~0 is undefined.

commit 9d237342 upstream. This patch fixes both the transmit and receive portion of sending fragmented mutlicast and broadcast packets. The transmit section was broken because the offset for INTFRAG and LASTFRAG packets were just miscalculated by IEEE1394_GASP_HDR_SIZE (which was reserved with skb_push() in fwnet_send_packet). The receive section was broken because in fwnet_incoming_packet is a call to fwnet_peer_find_by_node_id(). Called with generation == -1 it will not find a peer and the partial datagrams are associated to a peer. [Stefan R: The fix to use context->card->generation is not perfect. It relies on the IR tasklet which processes packets from the prior bus generation to run before the self-ID-complete worklet which sets the current card generation. Alas, there is no simple way of a race-free implementation. Let's do it this way for now.] Signed-off-by: Stephan Gatzka <stephan.gatzka@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit c060f943 upstream. The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn - zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct. Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB: pfn | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order ---------------------------------------------------------------- 0x26000 | 0x25e00 | 0x97 0x26100 | 0x25f00 | 0x97 0x26200 | 0x26000 | 0x98 0x26300 | 0x26100 | 0x98 This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation. For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen. Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from visual glitches to application failures.

commit 7964c06d upstream. when run the folloing command under shell, it will return error sh/$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory sh/$ sh: write error: Bad address After strace, I found the following log: ... write(1, "1\n", 2) = 3 write(1, "", 4294967295) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) write(2, "echo: write error: Bad address\n", 31echo: write error: Bad address ) = 31 This tells system return 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) after write data to compact_memory. The fix is to make the system just return 0 instead 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) from sysctl_compaction_handler after compaction_nodes finished.

commit d99e79ec upstream. The check to whom a device is reserved is done by checking the path state of the affected channel paths. If it turns out that one path is flagged as reserved by someone else the whole device is marked as such. However the meaning of the RESVD_ELSE bit is that the addressed device is reserved to a different pathgroup (and not reserved to a different LPAR). If we do this test on a path which is currently not a member of the pathgroup we could erroneously mark the device as reserved to someone else. To fix this collect the reserved state for all potential members of the pathgroup and only mark the device as reserved if all of those potential members have the RESVD_ELSE bit set.

commit ce73ec6d upstream. The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz(). Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code. The below scenario describes the race condition, x==0 Boot CPU other CPU proc_P: x==0 timer interrupt update_vsyscall x==1 x++;sync settimeofday update_vsyscall_tz x==2 x++;sync x==3 sync;x++ sync;x++ proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even) Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not atomic on powerpc.

commit 53a59fc6 upstream. Since commit e303297e ("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done. This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY) on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup. The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on softlockup which is not that unusual. The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum number of batches in a single mmu_gather. 10k of collected pages should be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point. This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls cond_resched per PMD. The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details). BUG: soft lockup - CPU#56 stuck for 22s!

commit c24bf9b4 upstream. The inb/outb macros for CRIS are broken from a number of points of view, missing () around parameters and they have an unprotected if statement in them. This was breaking the compile of IPMI on CRIS and thus I was being annoyed by build regressions, so I fixed them. Plus I don't think they would have worked at all, since the data values were missing "&" and the outsl had a "3" instead of a "4" for the size. From what I can tell, this stuff is not used at all, so this can't be any more broken than it was before, anyway.

commit 864aa04c upstream. When updating the page protection map after calculating the user_pgprot value, the base protection map is temporarily stored in an unsigned long type, causing truncation of the protection bits when LPAE is enabled. This effectively means that calls to mprotect() will corrupt the upper page attributes, clearing the XN bit unconditionally. This patch uses pteval_t to store the intermediate protection values, preserving the upper bits for 64-bit descriptors.

[ Upstream commit bd090dfc ] We added support for RFC 5961 in latest kernels but TCP fails to perform exhaustive check of ACK sequence. We can update our view of peer tsval from a frame that is later discarded by tcp_ack() This makes timestamps enabled sessions vulnerable to injection of a high tsval : peers start an ACK storm, since the victim sends a dupack each time it receives an ACK from the other peer. As tcp_validate_incoming() is called before tcp_ack(), we should not peform tcp_replace_ts_recent() from it, and let callers do it at the right time.

commit 45959ee7 upstream. When gcc inlines a function, it does not mark it with the mcount prologue, which in turn means that inlined functions are not traced by the function tracer. But if CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, then gcc is allowed not to inline a function that is marked inline. Depending on the options and the compiler, a function may or may not be traced by the function tracer, depending on whether gcc decides to inline a function or not. This has caused several problems in the pass becaues gcc is not always consistent with what it decides to inline between different gcc versions. Some places should not be traced (like paravirt native_* functions) and these are mostly marked as inline. When gcc decides not to inline the function, and if that function should not be traced, then the ftrace function tracer will suddenly break when it use to work fine. This becomes even harder to debug when different versions of gcc will not inline that function, making the same kernel and config work for some gcc versions and not work for others. By making all functions marked inline to not be traced will remove the ambiguity that gcc adds when it comes to tracing functions marked inline. All gcc versions will be consistent with what functions are traced and having volatile working code will be removed. Note, only the inline macro when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set needs to have notrace added, as the attribute __always_inline will force the function to be inlined and then not traced.

commit 2bbf0a14 upstream. The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache. This patch disables it on the affected CPUs. The issue is similar to that one of last year: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another quirk for newer CPUs. The performance penalty without the patch depends on the circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%. The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same physical page under different virtual addresses, so different processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both cores of the same compute unit. More details can be found here: http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver. That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera). The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2, A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the range of model ids.

commit 17543163 upstream. cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt. On success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing. On failure, it puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /work/os/work/fs/dcache.c:552! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: CPU 2 Pid: 697, comm: mkdir Not tainted 3.7.0-rc4-work+ #3 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811d9c0c>] [<ffffffff811d9c0c>] dput+0x1dc/0x1e0 RSP: 0018:ffff88001a3ebef8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88000e5b1ef8 RCX: 0000000000000403 RDX: 0000000000000303 RSI: 2000000000000000 RDI: ffff88000e5b1f58 RBP: ffff88001a3ebf18 R08: ffffffff82c76960 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: ffff880015022080 R11: ffd9bed70f48a041 R12: 00000000ffffffea R13: 0000000000000001 R14: ffff88000e5b1f58 R15: 00007fff57656d60 FS: 00007ff05fcb3800(0000) GS:ffff88001fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000004046f0 CR3: 000000001315f000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process mkdir (pid: 697, threadinfo ffff88001a3ea000, task ffff880015022080) Stack: ffff88001a3ebf48 00000000ffffffea 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 ffff88001a3ebf38 ffffffff811cc889 0000000000000001 ffff88000e5b1ef8 ffff88001a3ebf68 ffffffff811d1fc9 ffff8800198d7f18 ffff880019106ef8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811cc889>] done_path_create+0x19/0x50 [<ffffffff811d1fc9>] sys_mkdirat+0x59/0x80 [<ffffffff811d2009>] sys_mkdir+0x19/0x20 [<ffffffff81be1e02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 00 48 8d 90 18 01 00 00 48 89 93 c0 00 00 00 4c 89 a0 18 01 00 00 48 8b 83 a0 00 00 00 83 80 28 01 00 00 01 e8 e6 6f a0 00 eb 92 <0f> 0b 66 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 57 41 56 49 89 fe 41 RIP [<ffffffff811d9c0c>] dput+0x1dc/0x1e0 RSP <ffff88001a3ebef8> ---[ end trace 1277bcfd9561ddb0 ]--- Fix it by dropping the unnecessary dget/dput() pair.
