commit e42fafc2 upstream. The ioc->pfacts member in the IOC structure is getting set to zero following a call to _base_get_ioc_facts due to the memset in that routine. So if the ioc->pfacts was read after a host reset, there would be a NULL pointer dereference. The routine _base_get_ioc_facts is called from context of host reset. The problem in _base_get_ioc_facts is the size of Mpi2IOCFactsReply is 64, whereas the sizeof "struct mpt2sas_facts" is 60, so there is a four byte overflow resulting from the memset. Also, there is memset in _base_get_port_facts using the incorrect structure, it should be "struct mpt2sas_port_facts" instead of Mpi2PortFactsReply. Signed-off-by:

commit d5e50a51 upstream. When setting the current task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE this can race with a different cpu. The other cpu could set the task state after it inspected it (while it was still TASK_RUNNING) to TASK_RUNNING which would change the state from TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to TASK_RUNNING again. This race was always present in the pfault interrupt code but didn't cause anything harmful before commit f2db2e6c "[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts" which relied on the fact that after setting the task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE the task would really sleep. Since this is not necessarily the case the result may be a list corruption of the pfault_list or, as observed, a use-after-free bug while trying to access the task_struct of a task which terminated itself already. To fix this, we need to get a reference of the affected task when receiving the initial pfault interrupt and add special handling if we receive yet another initial pfault interrupt when the task is already enqueued in the pfault list.

commit 31a67102 upstream. During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up, we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious) configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in scheduling events. We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody. And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason: it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow blocking allocations much too early. So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()' (which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'. kernel_init() is run in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what will be the first idle thread. So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle thread into the init thread. Reported-by:

commit 80007efe upstream. It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0] has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated. Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time when their database is empty. This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.

commit a70b52ec upstream. We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example) mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc. Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that rw_verify_area() also does) directly. This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can actually remove lines of code. Reported-by:

This means that prefetch(NULL), which is supposed to be a nop on linux actually generates a NULL deref fault. Fix this by testing the address of prefetch against NULL before doing the prefetch.

commit 207f583d upstream. As pointed out by serveral people, PA1.1 only has a type 26 instruction meaning that the space register must be explicitly encoded.

[ 43.106307] attempt to access beyond end of device [ 43.106311] loop0: rw=0, want=277470, limit=2774 Squashfs manages to read in the end block(s) of the disk during the mount operation. Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of disk, but are marked as mapped. Thus, it would end up submitting read I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above. I fixed the problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if it fell inside of i_size. Cheers, Jeff Signed-off-by:

commit 05c69d29 upstream. 6d1d8050 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct" added part_unpack_uuid() which assumes that the passed in buffer has enough space for sprintfing "%pU" - 37 characters including '\0'.

commit e6d9668e upstream. Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules for 32-bit values. The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid" mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code. SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem. On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed in 2.6.28.6. The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029. Signed-off-by:

commit 2b53d078 upstream. If the MAC is invalid or not implemented, do not abort the probe. Issue a warning and prevent bringing the interface up until a MAC is set manually (via ifconfig $IFACE hw ether $MAC). Tested on two platforms, one with a valid MAC, the other without a MAC. The real MAC is used if present, the interface fails to come up until the MAC is set on the other. They successfully get an IP over DHCP and pass a simple ping and login over ssh test. This is meant to allow the Inforce SYS940X development board: http://www.inforcecomputing.com/SYS940X_ECX.html (and others suffering from a missing MAC) to work with the mainline kernel. Without this patch, the probe will fail and the interface will not be created, preventing the user from configuring the MAC manually. This does not make any attempt to address a missing or invalid MAC for the pch_phub driver. Signed-off-by:

commit e1616300 upstream. dd slept infinitely when fsfeeze failed because of EIO. To fix this problem, if ->freeze_fs fails, freeze_super() wakes up the tasks waiting for the filesystem to become unfrozen. When s_frozen isn't SB_UNFROZEN in __generic_file_aio_write(), the function sleeps until FITHAW ioctl wakes up s_wait_unfrozen. However, if ->freeze_fs fails, s_frozen is set to SB_UNFROZEN and then freeze_super() returns an error number. In this case, FITHAW ioctl returns EINVAL because s_frozen is already SB_UNFROZEN. There is no way to wake up s_wait_unfrozen, so __generic_file_aio_write() sleeps infinitely. Signed-off-by:

commit b7dafa0e upstream. compat_sys_sigprocmask reads a smaller signal mask from userspace than sigprogmask accepts for setting. So the high word of blocked.sig[0] will be cleared, releasing any potentially blocked RT signal. This was discovered via userspace code that relies on get/setcontext. glibc's i386 versions of those functions use sigprogmask instead of rt_sigprogmask to save/restore signal mask and caused RT signal unblocking this way. As suggested by Linus, this replaces the sys_sigprocmask based compat version with one that open-codes the required logic, including the merge of the existing blocked set with the new one provided on SIG_SETMASK.

This is a shorter (and more appropriate for stable kernels) analog to the following upstream commit: commit 6926afd1 Author: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Date: Sat Jan 7 13:22:46 2012 -0500 NFSv4: Save the owner/group name string when doing open ...so that we can do the uid/gid mapping outside the asynchronous RPC context. This fixes a bug in the current NFSv4 atomic open code where the client isn't able to determine what the true uid/gid fields of the file are, (because the asynchronous nature of the OPEN call denies it the ability to do an upcall) and so fills them with default values, marking the inode as needing revalidation. Unfortunately, in some cases, the VFS will do some additional sanity checks on the file, and may override the server's decision to allow the open because it sees the wrong owner/group fields.

Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Without this patch, logging into two different machines with home directories mounted over NFS4 and then running "vim" and typing ":q" in each reliably produces the following error on the second machine: E137: Viminfo file is not writable: /users/system/rtheys/.viminfo This regression was introduced by 80e52ace ("NFSv4: Don't do idmapper upcalls for asynchronous RPC calls", merged during the 2.6.32 cycle) --- after the OPEN call, .viminfo has the default values for st_uid and st_gid (0xfffffffe) cached because we do not want to let rpciod wait for an idmapper upcall to fill them in. The fix used in mainline is to save the owner and group as strings and perform the upcall in _nfs4_proc_open outside the rpciod context, which takes about 600 lines. For stable, we can do something similar with a one-liner: make open check for the stale fields and make a (synchronous) GETATTR call to fill them when needed. Trond dictated the patch, I typed it in, and Rik tested it. Addresses http://bugs.debian.org/659111 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/789298Reported-by:

commit c1bb05a6 upstream. Processes hang forever on a sync-mounted ext2 file system that is mounted with the ext4 module (default in Fedora 16). I can reproduce this reliably by mounting an ext2 partition with "-o sync" and opening a new file an that partition with vim. vim will hang in "D" state forever. The same happens on ext4 without a journal. I am attaching a small patch here that solves this issue for me. In the sync mounted case without a journal, ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() may call sync_dirty_buffer(), which can't be called with buffer lock held.

commit 377485f6 upstream. Currently, we'll try mounting any device who's major device number is UNNAMED_MAJOR as NFS root. This would happen for non-NFS devices as well (such as 9p devices) but it wouldn't cause any issues since mounting the device as NFS would fail quickly and the code proceeded to doing the proper mount: [ 101.522716] VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. [ 101.534499] VFS: Mounted root (9p filesystem) on device 0:18. Commit 6829a048102a ("NFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT") introduced retries when mounting NFS root, which means that now we don't immediately fail and instead it takes an additional 90+ seconds until we stop retrying, which has revealed the issue this patch fixes. This meant that it would take an additional 90 seconds to boot when we're not using a device type which gets detected in order before NFS. This patch modifies the NFS type check to require device type to be 'Root_NFS' instead of requiring the device to have an UNNAMED_MAJOR major. This makes boot process cleaner since we now won't go through the NFS mounting code at all when the device isn't an NFS root ("/dev/nfs"). Signed-off-by:

commit bad115cf upstream. Since recent changes on TCP splicing (starting with commits 2f533844 "tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets" and 35f9c09f "tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once"), I started seeing massive stalls when forwarding traffic between two sockets using splice() when pipe buffers were larger than socket buffers. Latest changes (net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb()) made the problem even more apparent. The reason seems to be that if do_tcp_sendpages() fails on out of memory condition without being able to send at least one byte, tcp_push() is not called and the buffers cannot be flushed. After applying the attached patch, I cannot reproduce the stalls at all and the data rate it perfectly stable and steady under any condition which previously caused the problem to be permanent. The issue seems to have been there since before the kernel migrated to git, which makes me think that the stalls I occasionally experienced with tux during stress-tests years ago were probably related to the same issue. This issue was first encountered on 3.0.31 and 3.2.17, so please backport to -stable. Signed-off-by:

commit 0d9f4f13 upstream. Use del_timer_sync to remove timer before mddev_suspend finishes. We don't want a timer going off after an mddev_suspend is called. This is especially true with device-mapper, since it can call the destructor function immediately following a suspend. This results in the removal (kfree) of the structures upon which the timer depends - resulting in a very ugly panic. Therefore, we add a del_timer_sync to mddev_suspend to prevent this.

commit 226bb7df upstream. The locking policy is such that the erase_complete_block spinlock is nested within the alloc_sem mutex.

commit 6bc2e853 upstream. Systems with 8 TBytes of memory or greater can hit a problem where only the the first 8 TB of memory shows up. This is due to "int i" being smaller than "unsigned long start_aligned", causing the high bits to be dropped. The fix is to change `i' to unsigned long to match start_aligned and end_aligned. Thanks to Jack Steiner for assistance tracking this down. Signed-off-by:

commit 4998a6c0 upstream. Commit 66aebce7 ("hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()") added code to avoid a race condition by elevating the page refcount in hugetlb_fault() while calling hugetlb_cow(). However, one code path in hugetlb_cow() includes an assertion that the page count is 1, whereas it may now also have the value 2 in this path. The consensus is that this BUG_ON has served its purpose, so rather than extending it to cover both cases, we just remove it. Signed-off-by:

commit 42b64281 upstream. pcpu_embed_first_chunk() allocates memory for each node, copies percpu data and frees unused portions of it before proceeding to the next group. This assumes that allocations for different nodes doesn't overlap; however, depending on memory topology, the bootmem allocator may end up allocating memory from a different node than the requested one which may overlap with the portion freed from one of the previous percpu areas. This leads to percpu groups for different nodes overlapping which is a serious bug. This patch separates out copy & partial free from the allocation loop such that all allocations are complete before partial frees happen. This also fixes overlapping frees which could happen on allocation failure path - out_free_areas path frees whole groups but the groups could have portions freed at that point. Signed-off-by:
