...and fix a couple of bugs in the NBD, CIFS and OCFS2 socket handlers. Looking at the sock->op->shutdown() handlers, it looks as if all of them take a SHUT_RD/SHUT_WR/SHUT_RDWR argument instead of the RCV_SHUTDOWN/SEND_SHUTDOWN arguments. Add a helper, and then define the SHUT_* enum to ensure that kernel users of shutdown() don't get confused.

Commit bea3348e (the NAPI changes) made sungem unconditionally enable NAPI when resuming and unconditionally disable when suspending, this, however, makes napi_disable() hang when suspending when the interface was taken down before suspend because taking the interface down also disables NAPI. This patch makes touching the napi struct in suspend/resume code paths depend on having the interface up, thereby fixing the hang on suspend. The patch also moves the napi_disable() in gem_close() under the lock so that the NAPI state is always modified atomically together with the "opened" variable.

While a signal is blocked, it must be posted even if its action is SIG_IGN or is SIG_DFL with the default action to ignore. This works right most of the time, but is broken when a sigwait (rt_sigtimedwait) is in progress. This changes the early-discard check to respect real_blocked. ~blocked is the set to check for "should wake up now", but ~(blocked|real_blocked) is the set for "blocked" semantics as defined by POSIX.

J. Bruce Fields authored
As with commit 7fc90ec9 ("knfsd: nfsd: call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 permissions problem") this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify() even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet. Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export. While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk() to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam the logs. Signed-off-by: J.

The v2/v3 acl code in nfsd is translating any return from fh_verify() to nfserr_inval. This is particularly unfortunate in the case of an nfserr_dropit return, which is an internal error meant to indicate to callers that this request has been deferred and should just be dropped pending the results of an upcall to mountd.

restore sigcontext is taking a DNA exception while restoring FP context from the user stack, during the sigreturn. Appended patch fixes it by doing clts() if the app doesn't touch FP during the signal handler execution. This will stop generating a DNA, during the fxrstor in the sigreturn.

The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped). The effect of this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to protect. This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield) kernels, also maps. In practice, you can only notice this when a debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing. set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not intended for any security purpose. (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.) This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of synchronization, which is sufficient. Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

In net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c::sctp_sf_abort_violation() we may leak the storage allocated for 'abort' by returning from the function without using or freeing it. This happens in case "sctp_auth_recv_cid(SCTP_CID_ABORT, asoc)" is true and we jump to the 'discard' label. Spotted by the Coverity checker. The simple fix is to simply move the creation of the "abort chunk" to after the possible jump to the 'discard' label. This way we don't even have to allocate the memory at all in the problem case.

The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest). So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx. Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an unsigned int, this results in unpredictable behavior when vq->vring.used->idx wraps around. This patch corrects this by changing last_used_idx to the correct type. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

This patch fixes a typo in vring_init(). This happens to work today in lguest because the sizeof(struct vring_desc) is 16 and struct vring contains 3 pointers and an unsigned int so on 32-bit sizeof(struct vring_desc) == sizeof(struct vring). However, this is no longer true on 64-bit where the bug is exposed. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

This patch fixes a small memory leak. Default fib rules can be deleted by the user if the rule does not carry FIB_RULE_PERMANENT flag, f.e. by ip rule flush Such a rule will not be freed as the ref-counter has 2 on start and becomes clearly unreachable after removal.

The unix_nr_socks value is limited with the 2 * get_max_files() value, as seen from the unix_create1(). However, the check and the actual increment are separated with the GFP_KERNEL allocation, so this limit can be exceeded under a memory pressure - task may go to sleep freeing the pages and some other task will be allowed to allocate a new sock and so on and so forth. So make the increment before the check (similar thing is done in the sock_kmalloc) and go to kmalloc after this. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

The scan_inflight() routine scans through the unix sockets and calls some passed callback. The fact is that all these callbacks work with the unix_sock objects, not the sock ones, so make this conversion in the scan_inflight() before calling the callbacks.

Make "decrypt failed" and "have no key" debugging messages compile conditionally upon CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG. They have been useful for finding certain problems in the past, but in many cases they just clutter a user's logs. A typical example is an enviornment where multiple SSIDs are using a single BSSID but with different protection schemes or different keys for each SSID. In such an environment these messages are just noise. Let's just leave them for those interested enough to turn-on debugging. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
