commit 4291086b upstream. The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST. And since it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two writers: * the ECHOing from a workqueue and * pty_write from the process race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows. If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is: int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags); struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail; ... memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space); ... tb->used += space; so the race of the two can result in something like this: A B __tty_buffer_request_room __tty_buffer_request_room memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) tb->used += space; memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used increment. Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to serialize echo output with normal tty writes. This ensures the tty buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and everything is fine. Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is present in kernels at least after commit d945cb9c (pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3. js: add more info to the commit log js: switch to bool js: lock unconditionally js: lock only the tty->ops->write call References: CVE-2014-0196 Reported-and-tested-by:

Dmitry Semyonov reported that after upgrading from 3.2.54 to 3.2.57 the rtl8192ce driver will crash when its interface is brought up. The oops message shows: [ 1833.611397] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 [ 1833.611455] IP: [<ffffffffa0410c6a>] rtl92ce_update_hal_rate_tbl+0x29/0x4db [rtl8192ce] ...

None of the changes to the rtlwifi family between 3.2.54 and 3.2.57 seem to directly cause this, and reverting commit f78bccd7 ('rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs') doesn't fix it. rtl92c_dm_watchdog() calls rtl92ce_update_hal_rate_tbl() via rtl92c_dm_refresh_rate_adaptive_mask(), which does not appear in the call trace as it was inlined. That function has been completely removed upstream which may explain why this crash wasn't seen there. I'm not sure that it is sensible to completely remove rtl92c_dm_refresh_rate_adaptive_mask() without making other compensating changes elsewhere, so try to work around this for 3.2 by checking for a null pointer in rtl92c_dm_refresh_rate_adaptive_mask() and then skipping the call to rtl92ce_update_hal_rate_tbl().

commit 5509076d upstream. During firmware download the device expects memory addresses in big-endian byte order. As the wIndex parameter which hold the address is sent in little-endian byte order regardless of host byte order, we need to use swab16 rather than cpu_to_be16. Also make sure to handle the struct ti_i2c_desc size parameter which is returned in little-endian byte order. Reported-by:

commit 1f81b6d2 upstream. We have observed a rare cycle state desync bug after Set TR Dequeue Pointer commands on Intel LynxPoint xHCs (resulting in an endpoint that doesn't fetch new TRBs and thus an unresponsive USB device). It always triggers when a previous Set TR Dequeue Pointer command has set the pointer to the final Link TRB of a segment, and then another URB gets enqueued and cancelled again before it can be completed. Further investigation showed that the xHC had returned the Link TRB in the TRB Pointer field of the Transfer Event (CC == Stopped -- Length Invalid), but when xhci_find_new_dequeue_state() later accesses the Endpoint Context's TR Dequeue Pointer field it is set to the first TRB of the next segment. The driver expects those two values to be the same in this situation, and uses the cycle state of the latter together with the address of the former. This should be fine according to the XHCI specification, since the endpoint ring should be stopped when returning the Transfer Event and thus should not advance over the Link TRB before it gets restarted. However, real-world XHCI implementations apparently don't really care that much about these details, so the driver should follow a more defensive approach to try to work around HC spec violations. This patch removes the stopped_trb variable that had been used to store the TRB Pointer from the last Transfer Event of a stopped TRB. Instead, xhci_find_new_dequeue_state() now relies only on the Endpoint Context, requiring a small amount of additional processing to find the virtual address corresponding to the TR Dequeue Pointer. Some other parts of the function were slightly rearranged to better fit into this model. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31 that contain the commit ae636747 "USB: xhci: URB cancellation support." Signed-off-by:

commit 1c70d8fb upstream. Currently, with inode cache enabled, we will reuse its inode id immediately after unlinking file, we may hit something like following: |->iput inode |->return inode id into inode cache |->create dir,fsync |->power off An easy way to reproduce this problem is: mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb mount /dev/sdb /mnt -o inode_cache,commit=100 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/data bs=1M count=10 oflag=sync inode_id=`ls -i /mnt/data | awk '{print $1}'` rm -f /mnt/data i=1 while [ 1 ] do mkdir /mnt/dir_$i test1=`stat /mnt/dir_$i | grep Inode: | awk '{print $4}'` if [ $test1 -eq $inode_id ] then dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/dir_$i/data bs=1M count=1 oflag=sync echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger fi sleep 1 i=$(($i+1)) done mount /dev/sdb /mnt umount /dev/sdb btrfs check /dev/sdb We fix this problem by adding unlinked inode's id into pinned tree, and we can not reuse them until committing transaction.

commit ff76b056 upstream. Due to an off-by-one error, it is possible to reproduce a bug when the inode cache is used. The same inode number is assigned twice, the second time this leads to an EEXIST in btrfs_insert_empty_items(). The issue can happen when a file is removed right after a subvolume is created and then a new inode number is created before the inodes in free_inode_pinned are processed. unlink() calls btrfs_return_ino() which calls start_caching() in this case which adds [highest_ino + 1, BTRFS_LAST_FREE_OBJECTID] by searching for the highest inode (which already cannot find the unlinked one anymore in btrfs_find_free_objectid()). So if this unlinked inode's number is equal to the highest_ino + 1 (or >= this value instead of > this value which was the off-by-one error), we mustn't add the inode number to free_ino_pinned (caching_thread() does it right). In this case we need to try directly to add the number to the inode_cache which will fail in this case. When this inode number is allocated while it is still in free_ino_pinned, it is allocated and still added to the free inode cache when the pinned inodes are processed, thus one of the following inode number allocations will get an inode that is already in use and fail with EEXIST in btrfs_insert_empty_items(). One example which was created with the reproducer below: Create a snapshot, work in the newly created snapshot for the rest. In unlink(inode 34284) call btrfs_return_ino() which calls start_caching(). start_caching() calls add_free_space [34284, 18446744073709517077]. In btrfs_return_ino(), call start_caching pinned [34284, 1] which is wrong. mkdir() call btrfs_find_ino_for_alloc() which returns the number 34284. btrfs_unpin_free_ino calls add_free_space [34284, 1]. mkdir() call btrfs_find_ino_for_alloc() which returns the number 34284. EEXIST when the new inode is inserted. One possible reproducer is this one: #!/bin/sh # preparation TEST_DEV=/dev/sdc1 TEST_MNT=/mnt umount ${TEST_MNT} 2>/dev/null || true mkfs.btrfs -f ${TEST_DEV} mount ${TEST_DEV} ${TEST_MNT} -o \ rw,relatime,compress=lzo,space_cache,inode_cache btrfs subv create ${TEST_MNT}/s1 for i in `seq 34027`; do touch ${TEST_MNT}/s1/${i}; done btrfs subv snap ${TEST_MNT}/s1 ${TEST_MNT}/s2 FILENAME=`find ${TEST_MNT}/s1/ -inum 4085 | sed 's|^.*/\([^/]*\)$|\1|'` rm ${TEST_MNT}/s2/$FILENAME touch ${TEST_MNT}/s2/$FILENAME # the following steps can be repeated to reproduce the issue again and again [ -e ${TEST_MNT}/s3 ] && btrfs subv del ${TEST_MNT}/s3 btrfs subv snap ${TEST_MNT}/s2 ${TEST_MNT}/s3 rm ${TEST_MNT}/s3/$FILENAME touch ${TEST_MNT}/s3/$FILENAME ls -alFi ${TEST_MNT}/s?/$FILENAME touch ${TEST_MNT}/s3/_1 || logger FAILED ls -alFi ${TEST_MNT}/s?/_1 touch ${TEST_MNT}/s3/_2 || logger FAILED ls -alFi ${TEST_MNT}/s?/_2 touch ${TEST_MNT}/s3/__1 || logger FAILED ls -alFi ${TEST_MNT}/s?/__1 touch ${TEST_MNT}/s3/__2 || logger FAILED ls -alFi ${TEST_MNT}/s?/__2 # if the above is not enough, add the following loop: for i in `seq 3 9`; do touch ${TEST_MNT}/s3/__${i} || logger FAILED; done #for i in `seq 3 34027`; do touch ${TEST_MNT}/s3/__${i} || logger FAILED; done # one of the touch(1) calls in s3 fail due to EEXIST because the inode is # already in use that btrfs_find_ino_for_alloc() returns.

commit 10164c2a upstream. Fix driver new_id sysfs-attribute removal deadlock by making sure to not hold any locks that the attribute operations grab when removing the attribute. Specifically, usb_serial_deregister holds the table mutex when deregistering the driver, which includes removing the new_id attribute. This can lead to a deadlock as writing to new_id increments the attribute's active count before trying to grab the same mutex in usb_serial_probe. The deadlock can easily be triggered by inserting a sleep in usb_serial_deregister and writing the id of an unbound device to new_id during module unload. As the table mutex (in this case) is used to prevent subdriver unload during probe, it should be sufficient to only hold the lock while manipulating the usb-serial driver list during deregister. A racing probe will then either fail to find a matching subdriver or fail to get the corresponding module reference. Since v3.15-rc1 this also triggers the following lockdep warning: ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.15.0-rc2 #123 Tainted: G W ------------------------------------------------------- modprobe/190 is trying to acquire lock: (s_active#4){++++.+}, at: [<c0167aa0>] kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x4c/0x94 but task is already holding lock: (table_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<bf004d84>] usb_serial_deregister+0x3c/0x78 [usbserial] which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (table_lock){+.+.+.}: [<c0075f84>] __lock_acquire+0x1694/0x1ce4 [<c0076de8>] lock_acquire+0xb4/0x154 [<c03af3cc>] _raw_spin_lock+0x4c/0x5c [<c02bbc24>] usb_store_new_id+0x14c/0x1ac [<bf007eb4>] new_id_store+0x68/0x70 [usbserial] [<c025f568>] drv_attr_store+0x30/0x3c [<c01690e0>] sysfs_kf_write+0x5c/0x60 [<c01682c0>] kernfs_fop_write+0xd4/0x194 [<c010881c>] vfs_write+0xbc/0x198 [<c0108e4c>] SyS_write+0x4c/0xa0 [<c000f880>] ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x48 -> #0 (s_active#4){++++.+}: [<c03a7a28>] print_circular_bug+0x68/0x2f8 [<c0076218>] __lock_acquire+0x1928/0x1ce4 [<c0076de8>] lock_acquire+0xb4/0x154 [<c0166b70>] __kernfs_remove+0x254/0x310 [<c0167aa0>] kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x4c/0x94 [<c0169fb8>] remove_files.isra.1+0x48/0x84 [<c016a2fc>] sysfs_remove_group+0x58/0xac [<c016a414>] sysfs_remove_groups+0x34/0x44 [<c02623b8>] driver_remove_groups+0x1c/0x20 [<c0260e9c>] bus_remove_driver+0x3c/0xe4 [<c026235c>] driver_unregister+0x38/0x58 [<bf007fb4>] usb_serial_bus_deregister+0x84/0x88 [usbserial] [<bf004db4>] usb_serial_deregister+0x6c/0x78 [usbserial] [<bf005330>] usb_serial_deregister_drivers+0x2c/0x4c [usbserial] [<bf016618>] usb_serial_module_exit+0x14/0x1c [sierra] [<c009d6cc>] SyS_delete_module+0x184/0x210 [<c000f880>] ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x48 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(table_lock); lock(s_active#4); lock(table_lock); lock(s_active#4); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by modprobe/190: #0: (table_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<bf004d84>] usb_serial_deregister+0x3c/0x78 [usbserial] stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 190 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 3.15.0-rc2 #123 [<c0015e10>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c0013728>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) [<c0013728>] (show_stack) from [<c03a9a54>] (dump_stack+0x24/0x28) [<c03a9a54>] (dump_stack) from [<c03a7cac>] (print_circular_bug+0x2ec/0x2f8) [<c03a7cac>] (print_circular_bug) from [<c0076218>] (__lock_acquire+0x1928/0x1ce4) [<c0076218>] (__lock_acquire) from [<c0076de8>] (lock_acquire+0xb4/0x154) [<c0076de8>] (lock_acquire) from [<c0166b70>] (__kernfs_remove+0x254/0x310) [<c0166b70>] (__kernfs_remove) from [<c0167aa0>] (kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x4c/0x94) [<c0167aa0>] (kernfs_remove_by_name_ns) from [<c0169fb8>] (remove_files.isra.1+0x48/0x84) [<c0169fb8>] (remove_files.isra.1) from [<c016a2fc>] (sysfs_remove_group+0x58/0xac) [<c016a2fc>] (sysfs_remove_group) from [<c016a414>] (sysfs_remove_groups+0x34/0x44) [<c016a414>] (sysfs_remove_groups) from [<c02623b8>] (driver_remove_groups+0x1c/0x20) [<c02623b8>] (driver_remove_groups) from [<c0260e9c>] (bus_remove_driver+0x3c/0xe4) [<c0260e9c>] (bus_remove_driver) from [<c026235c>] (driver_unregister+0x38/0x58) [<c026235c>] (driver_unregister) from [<bf007fb4>] (usb_serial_bus_deregister+0x84/0x88 [usbserial]) [<bf007fb4>] (usb_serial_bus_deregister [usbserial]) from [<bf004db4>] (usb_serial_deregister+0x6c/0x78 [usbserial]) [<bf004db4>] (usb_serial_deregister [usbserial]) from [<bf005330>] (usb_serial_deregister_drivers+0x2c/0x4c [usbserial]) [<bf005330>] (usb_serial_deregister_drivers [usbserial]) from [<bf016618>] (usb_serial_module_exit+0x14/0x1c [sierra]) [<bf016618>] (usb_serial_module_exit [sierra]) from [<c009d6cc>] (SyS_delete_module+0x184/0x210) [<c009d6cc>] (SyS_delete_module) from [<c000f880>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x48) Signed-off-by:

commit 1b17844b upstream. fixup_user_fault() is used by the futex code when the direct user access fails, and the futex code wants it to either map in the page in a usable form or return an error. It relied on handle_mm_fault() to map the page, and correctly checked the error return from that, but while that does map the page, it doesn't actually guarantee that the page will be mapped with sufficient permissions to be then accessed. So do the appropriate tests of the vma access rights by hand. [ Side note: arguably handle_mm_fault() could just do that itself, but we have traditionally done it in the caller, because some callers - notably get_user_pages() - have been able to access pages even when they are mapped with PROT_NONE. Maybe we should re-visit that design decision, but in the meantime this is the minimal patch. ] Found by Dave Jones running his trinity tool. Reported-by:

commit 8a4aeec8 upstream. The AHCI spec allows implementations to issue commands in tag order rather than FIFO order: 5.3.2.12 P:SelectCmd HBA sets pSlotLoc = (pSlotLoc + 1) mod (CAP.NCS + 1) or HBA selects the command to issue that has had the PxCI bit set to '1' longer than any other command pending to be issued. The result is that commands posted sequentially (time-wise) may play out of sequence when issued by hardware. This behavior has likely been hidden by drives that arrange for commands to complete in issue order. However, it appears recent drives (two from different vendors that we have found so far) inflict out-of-order completions as a matter of course. So, we need to take care to maintain ordered submission, otherwise we risk triggering a drive to fall out of sequential-io automation and back to random-io processing, which incurs large latency and degrades throughput. This issue was found in simple benchmarks where QD=2 seq-write performance was 30-50% *greater* than QD=32 seq-write performance. Tagging for -stable and making the change globally since it has a low risk-to-reward ratio. Also, word is that recent versions of an unnamed OS also does it this way now. So, drives in the field are already experienced with this tag ordering scheme. Cc: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Cc: Ed Ciechanowski <ed.ciechanowski@intel.com> Reviewed-by:

commit f1c6bb2c upstream. A fl->fl_break_time of 0 has a special meaning to the lease break code that basically means "never break the lease". knfsd uses this to ensure that leases don't disappear out from under it. Unfortunately, the code in __break_lease can end up passing this value to wait_event_interruptible as a timeout, which prevents it from going to sleep at all. This makes __break_lease to spin in a tight loop and causes soft lockups. Fix this by ensuring that we pass a minimum value of 1 as a timeout instead. Cc: J.

commit 4adb6ab3 upstream. When we try to get 2^32-1 block of the file which has the extent (ee_block=2^32-2, ee_len=1) with FIBMAP ioctl, it causes BUG_ON in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache(). To avoid the problem, ext4_map_blocks() needs to check the file logical block number. ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() called via ext4_map_blocks() cannot handle 2^32-1 because the maximum file logical block number is 2^32-2. Note that ext4_ind_map_blocks() returns -EIO when the block number is invalid. So ext4_map_blocks() should also return the same errno. Signed-off-by:

commit d82b922a upstream. The powernow-k6 driver used to read the initial multiplier from the powernow register. However, there is a problem with this: * If there was a frequency transition before, the multiplier read from the register corresponds to the current multiplier. * If there was no frequency transition since reset, the field in the register always reads as zero, regardless of the current multiplier that is set using switches on the mainboard and that the CPU is running at. The zero value corresponds to multiplier 4.5, so as a consequence, the powernow-k6 driver always assumes multiplier 4.5. For example, if we have 550MHz CPU with bus frequency 100MHz and multiplier 5.5, the powernow-k6 driver thinks that the multiplier is 4.5 and bus frequency is 122MHz. The powernow-k6 driver then sets the multiplier to 4.5, underclocking the CPU to 450MHz, but reports the current frequency as 550MHz. There is no reliable way how to read the initial multiplier. I modified the driver so that it contains a table of known frequencies (based on parameters of existing CPUs and some common overclocking schemes) and sets the multiplier according to the frequency. If the frequency is unknown (because of unusual overclocking or underclocking), the user must supply the bus speed and maximum multiplier as module parameters. This patch should be backported to all stable kernels. If it doesn't apply cleanly, change it, or ask me to change it. Signed-off-by:

commit e20e1d0a upstream. I found out that a system with k6-3+ processor is unstable during network server load. The system locks up or the network card stops receiving. The reason for the instability is the CPU frequency scaling. During frequency transition the processor is in "EPM Stop Grant" state. The documentation says that the processor doesn't respond to inquiry requests in this state. Consequently, coherency of processor caches and bus master devices is not maintained, causing the system instability. This patch flushes the cache during frequency transition. It fixes the instability. Other minor changes: * u64 invalue changed to unsigned long because the variable is 32-bit * move the logic to set the multiplier to a separate function powernow_k6_set_cpu_multiplier * preserve lower 5 bits of the powernow port instead of 4 (the voltage field has 5 bits) * mask interrupts when reading the multiplier, so that the port is not open during other activity (running other kernel code with the port open shouldn't cause any misbehavior, but we should better be safe and keep the port closed) This patch should be backported to all stable kernels. If it doesn't apply cleanly, change it, or ask me to change it. Signed-off-by:
