commit 558569aa upstream. When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL where a non-NULL return value is required by design. Fix this by not changing the state of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). Issue On 2.6.33-rc1 kernel, I hit the bug when I suspended the failed mirror by dmsetup command.

When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state, DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time. When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected. Solution Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change because: - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state. - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the delayed_bio list. The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end() was added in the following commit: dm raid1: handle resync failures author Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:29:04 +0000 (17:29 +0100) http://git.kernel.org/linus/f44db678edcc6f4c2779ac43f63f0b9dfa28b724Signed-off-by:

commit 07ccb7bf upstream. This patch solves a corner case during allocation which occurs if both metadata (indirect) and data blocks are required but there is an obstacle in the filesystem (e.g. a resource group header or another allocated block) such that when the allocation is requested only enough blocks for the metadata are returned. By changing the exit condition of this loop, we ensure that a minimum of one data block will always be returned. Signed-off-by:

commit 5528d17d upstream. If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even though they weren't actually written to any device. This patch completes them with EIO instead. This code path is taken: do_writes: bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync); do_failures: if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false) else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false) else bio_endio(bio, 0); The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it is reported as success.

commit 3c945e5b upstream. The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes to be ordered without adding an explicit barrier. In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data. With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it. The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header and data are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order we may have data that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use hardware checksumming this bad data is never verified and it makes it all the way to the application. This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has been shown to fix it. Signed-off-by:

commit cc56f7de upstream. sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly. Although if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently. This patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output file. Some security checks related to f_op are added too. Signed-off-by:

commit fb2b2a1d upstream. In prepare_kernel_cred() since 2.6.29, put_cred(new) is called without assigning new->usage when security_prepare_creds() returned an error. As a result, memory for new and refcount for new->{user,group_info,tgcred} are leaked because put_cred(new) won't call __put_cred() unless old->usage == 1. Fix these leaks by assigning new->usage (and new->subscribers which was added in 2.6.32) before calling security_prepare_creds(). Signed-off-by:

commit 2edeaa34 upstream. In cred_alloc_blank() since 2.6.32, abort_creds(new) is called with new->security == NULL and new->magic == 0 when security_cred_alloc_blank() returns an error. As a result, BUG() will be triggered if SELinux is enabled or CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y. If CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y, BUG() is called from __invalid_creds() because cred->magic == 0. Failing that, BUG() is called from selinux_cred_free() because selinux_cred_free() is not expecting cred->security == NULL. This does not affect smack_cred_free(), tomoyo_cred_free() or apparmor_cred_free(). Fix these bugs by (1) Set new->magic before calling security_cred_alloc_blank(). (2) Handle null cred->security in creds_are_invalid() and selinux_cred_free(). Signed-off-by:

This is related to commit f88a4a9b upstream, but the bug cannot be properly fixed without the other changes to VLAN tagging in 2.6.37. bond_na_send() attempts to insert a VLAN tag in between building and sending packets of the respective formats. If the slave does not implement hardware VLAN tag insertion then vlan_put_tag() will mangle the network-layer header because the Ethernet header is not present at this point (unlike in bond_arp_send()).

commit de09a977 upstream. It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the task being accessed. What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds(): TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER -->get_task_cred(TASK_2) rcu_read_lock() __cred = __task_cred(TASK_2) -->commit_creds() old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred TASK_2->real_cred = ... put_cred(old_cred) call_rcu(old_cred) [__cred->usage == 0] get_cred(__cred) [__cred->usage == 1] rcu_read_unlock() -->put_cred_rcu() [__cred->usage == 1] panic() However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero. If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU cleanup code. We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the same problem. Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be, for example: kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:168! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run CPU 0 Pid: 2436, comm: master Not tainted 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 #1 0HR330/OptiPlex 745 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81069881>] [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP: 0018:ffff88019e7e9eb8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff880161514480 RCX: 00000000ffffffff RDX: 00000000ffffffff RSI: ffff880140c690c0 RDI: ffff880140c690c0 RBP: ffff88019e7e9eb8 R08: 00000000000000d0 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: ffff880140c690c0 R13: ffff88019e77aea0 R14: 00007fff336b0a5c R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f12f50d97c0(0000) GS:ffff880007400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f8f461bc000 CR3: 00000001b26ce000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process master (pid: 2436, threadinfo ffff88019e7e8000, task ffff88019e77aea0) Stack: ffff88019e7e9ec8 ffffffff810698cd ffff88019e7e9ef8 ffffffff81069b45 <0> ffff880161514180 ffff880161514480 ffff880161514180 0000000000000000 <0> ffff88019e7e9f28 ffffffff8106aace 0000000000000001 0000000000000246 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810698cd>] put_cred+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81069b45>] commit_creds+0x16b/0x175 [<ffffffff8106aace>] set_current_groups+0x47/0x4e [<ffffffff8106ac89>] sys_setgroups+0xf6/0x105 [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 48 8d 71 ff e8 7e 4e 15 00 85 c0 78 0b 8b 75 ec 48 89 df e8 ef 4a 15 00 48 83 c4 18 5b c9 c3 55 8b 07 8b 07 48 89 e5 85 c0 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 65 48 8b 04 25 00 cc 00 00 48 3b b8 58 04 00 00 75 RIP [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP <ffff88019e7e9eb8> ---[ end trace df391256a100ebdd ]--- Signed-off-by:

commit 3df7169e upstream. This patch (as1417) fixes a problem affecting some (or all) nVidia chipsets. When the computer is shut down, the OHCI controllers continue to power the USB buses and evidently they drive a Reset signal out all their ports. This prevents attached devices from going to low power. Mouse LEDs stay on, for example, which is disconcerting for users and a drain on laptop batteries. The fix involves leaving each OHCI controller in the OPERATIONAL state during system shutdown rather than putting it in the RESET state. Although this nominally means the controller is running, in fact it's not doing very much since all the schedules are all disabled. However there is ongoing DMA to the Host Controller Communications Area, so the patch also disables the bus-master capability of all PCI USB controllers after the shutdown routine runs. The fix is applied only to nVidia-based PCI OHCI controllers, so it shouldn't cause problems on systems using other hardware. As an added safety measure, in case the kernel encounters one of these running controllers during boot, the patch changes quirk_usb_handoff_ohci() (which runs early on during PCI discovery) to reset the controller before anything bad can happen.

commit 57fe93b3 upstream. There is a possibility malicious users can get limited information about uninitialized stack mem array. Even if sk_run_filter() result is bound to packet length (0 .. 65535), we could imagine this can be used by hostile user. Initializing mem[] array, like Dan Rosenberg suggested in his patch is expensive since most filters dont even use this array. Its hard to make the filter validation in sk_chk_filter(), because of the jumps. This might be done later. In this patch, I use a bitmap (a single long var) so that only filters using mem[] loads/stores pay the price of added security checks. For other filters, additional cost is a single instruction. [ Since we access fentry->k a lot now, cache it in a local variable and mark filter entry pointer as const. -DaveM ] Reported-by:

commit 252a52aa upstream. The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will fail when provided with a negative index. This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is readable by group "cdrom"). Signed-off-by:

commit 51e97a12 upstream. The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is returned. The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption. This patch resets the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found. Signed-off-by:

commit bcfe42e9 upstream. There's a branch at the end of this function that is supposed to normalize the return value with what the mid-layer expects. In this one case, we get it wrong. Also increase the verbosity of the INFO level printk at the end of mptscsih_abort to include the actual return value and the scmd->serial_number. The reason being success or failure is actually determined by the state of the internal tag list when a TMF is issued, and not the return value of the TMF cmd. The serial_number is also used in this decision, thus it's useful to know for debugging purposes. Reported-by:

commit 3aa6e0aa upstream. If nfsd fails to find an exported via NFS file in the readahead cache, it should increment corresponding nfsdstats counter (ra_depth[10]), but due to a bug it may instead write to ra_depth[11], corrupting the following field. In a kernel with NFSDv4 compiled in the corruption takes the form of an increment of a counter of the number of NFSv4 operation 0's received; since there is no operation 0, this is harmless. In a kernel with NFSDv4 disabled it corrupts whatever happens to be in the memory beyond nfsdstats. Signed-off-by:

Commit: e51fd5e2 upstream Mike reports that since e9e9250b (sched: Scale down cpu_power due to RT tasks), wake_affine() goes funny on RT tasks due to them still having a !0 weight and wake_affine() still subtracts that from the rq weight. Since nobody should be using se->weight for RT tasks, set the value to zero. Also, since we now use ->cpu_power to normalize rq weights to account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation. Reported-by:

Commit: d5ad140b upstream An earlier commit reverts idle balancing throttling reset to fix a 30% regression in volanomark throughput. We still need to reset idle_stamp when we pull a task in newidle balance. Reported-by:

Commit: 1e5a7405 upstream Instead of dealing with sched classes inside each check_preempt_curr() implementation, pull out this logic into the generic wakeup preemption path. This fixes a hang in KVM (and others) where we are waiting for the stop machine thread to run ... Reported-by:

Commit: aae6d3dd upstream Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like: a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads), 24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu. b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and 16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy. While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct (by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an overloaded case. Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

Commit: d267f87f upstream When CPU is idle and on first interrupt, irq_enter calls tick_check_idle() to notify interruption from idle. But, there is a problem if this call is done after __irq_enter, as all routines in __irq_enter may find stale time due to yet to be done tick_check_idle. Specifically, trace calls in __irq_enter when they use global clock and also account_system_vtime change in this patch as it wants to use sched_clock_cpu() to do proper irq timing. But, tick_check_idle was moved after __irq_enter intentionally to prevent problem of unneeded ksoftirqd wakeups by the commit ee5f80a9: irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups Moving tick_check_idle() before __irq_enter and wrapping it with local_bh_enable/disable would solve both the problems.

Commit: aa483808 upstream The idea was suggested by Peter Zijlstra here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127476934517534&w=2 irq time is technically not available to the tasks running on the CPU. This patch removes irq time from CPU power piggybacking on sched_rt_avg_update(). Tested this by keeping CPU X busy with a network intensive task having 75% oa a single CPU irq processing (hard+soft) on a 4-way system. And start seven cycle soakers on the system. Without this change, there will be two tasks on each CPU. With this change, there is a single task on irq busy CPU X and remaining 7 tasks are spread around among other 3 CPUs. Signed-off-by:

Commit: 305e6835 upstream Scheduler accounts both softirq and interrupt processing times to the currently running task. This means, if the interrupt processing was for some other task in the system, then the current task ends up being penalized as it gets shorter runtime than otherwise. Change sched task accounting to acoount only actual task time from currently running task. Now update_curr(), modifies the delta_exec to depend on rq->clock_task. Note that this change only handles CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING case. We can extend this to CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING with minimal effort. But, thats for later. This change will impact scheduling behavior in interrupt heavy conditions. Tested on a 4-way system with eth0 handled by CPU 2 and a network heavy task (nc) running on CPU 3 (and no RSS/RFS). With that I have CPU 2 spending 75%+ of its time in irq processing. CPU 3 spending around 35% time running nc task. Now, if I run another CPU intensive task on CPU 2, without this change /proc/<pid>/schedstat shows 100% of time accounted to this task. With this change, it rightly shows less than 25% accounted to this task as remaining time is actually spent on irq processing. Signed-off-by:
