[ Upstream commit 8f363b77 ] Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm can cause a divide by zero kernel oops. The division by zero occur in tcp_illinois_info() at: do_div(t, ca->cnt_rtt); where ca->cnt_rtt can become zero (when rtt_reset is called) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register tcp_illinois: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=illinois 2. Monitor internal TCP information via command "ss -i" # watch -d ss -i 3. Establish new TCP conn to machine Either it fails at the initial conn, or else it needs to wait for a loss or a reset. This is only related to reading stats. The function avg_delay() also performs the same divide, but is guarded with a (ca->cnt_rtt > 0) at its calling point in update_params(). Thus, simply fix tcp_illinois_info(). Function tcp_illinois_info() / get_info() is called without socket lock. Thus, eliminate any race condition on ca->cnt_rtt by using a local stack variable. Simply reuse info.tcpv_rttcnt, as its already set to ca->cnt_rtt. Function avg_delay() is not affected by this race condition, as its called with the socket lock.

[ Upstream commit 39707c2a ] Driver anchors the tx urbs and defers the urb submission if a transmit request comes when the interface is suspended. Anchoring urb increments the urb reference count. These deferred urbs are later accessed by calling usb_get_from_anchor() for submission during interface resume. usb_get_from_anchor() unanchors the urb but urb reference count remains same. This causes the urb reference count to remain non-zero after usb_free_urb() gets called and urb never gets freed. Hence call usb_put_urb() after anchoring the urb to properly balance the reference count for these deferred urbs. Also, unanchor these deferred urbs during disconnect, to free them up.

[ Upstream commit a3374c42 ] tcp_ioctl() tries to take into account if tcp socket received a FIN to report correct number bytes in receive queue. But its flaky because if the application ate the last skb, we return 1 instead of 0. Correct way to detect that FIN was received is to test SOCK_DONE.

[ Upstream commit 6d772ac5 ] On some suspend/resume operations involving wimax device, we have noticed some intermittent memory corruptions in netlink code. Stéphane Marchesin tracked this corruption in netlink_update_listeners() and suggested a patch. It appears netlink_release() should use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() for the listeners structure as it may be used by other cpus using RCU protection. netlink_release() must set to NULL the listeners pointer when it is about to be freed. Also have to protect netlink_update_listeners() and netlink_has_listeners() if listeners is NULL. Add a nl_deref_protected() lockdep helper to properly document which locks protects us.

commit 978520b7 upstream. Close some races at disconnection of a USB audio device by adding the chip->shutdown_mutex and chip->shutdown check at appropriate places. The spots to put bandaids are: - PCM prepare, hw_params and hw_free - where the usb device is accessed for communication or get speed, in mixer.c and others; the device speed is now cached in subs->speed instead of accessing to chip->dev The accesses in PCM open and close don't need the mutex protection because these are already handled in the core PCM disconnection code. The autosuspend/autoresume codes are still uncovered by this patch because of possible mutex deadlocks. They'll be covered by the upcoming change to rwsem. Also the mixer codes are untouched, too. These will be fixed in another patch, too.

commit 8d96b106 upstream. The DNS resolver's use of the sunrpc cache involves a 'ttl' number (relative) rather that a timeout (absolute). This confused me when I wrote commit c5b29f88 "sunrpc: use seconds since boot in expiry cache" and I managed to break it. The effect is that any TTL is interpreted as 0, and nothing useful gets into the cache. This patch removes the use of get_expiry() - which really expects an expiry time - and uses get_uint() instead, treating the int correctly as a ttl. This fixes a regression that has been present since 2.6.37, causing certain NFS accesses in certain environments to incorrectly fail.

commit 97a54868 upstream. Since commit c7f404b4 ('vfs: new superblock methods to override /proc/*/mount{s,info}'), nfs_path() is used to generate the mounted device name reported back to userland. nfs_path() always generates a trailing slash when the given dentry is the root of an NFS mount, but userland may expect the original device name to be returned verbatim (as it used to be). Make this canonicalisation optional and change the callers accordingly.

commit acce94e6 upstream. In very busy v3 environment, rpc.mountd can respond to the NULL procedure but not the MNT procedure in a timely manner causing the MNT procedure to time out. The problem is the mount system call returns EIO which causes the mount to fail, instead of ETIMEDOUT, which would cause the mount to be retried. This patch sets the RPC_TASK_SOFT|RPC_TASK_TIMEOUT flags to the rpc_call_sync() call in nfs_mount() which causes ETIMEDOUT to be returned on timed out connections.

commit c4a9fafc upstream. No driver initializes chan->max_antenna_gain to something sensible, and the only place where it is being used right now is inside ath9k. This leads to ath9k potentially using less tx power than it can use, which can decrease performance/range in some rare cases. Rather than going through every single driver, this patch initializes chan->orig_mag in wiphy_register(), ignoring whatever value the driver left in there. If a driver for some reason wishes to limit it independent from regulatory rulesets, it can do so internally.

commit 8c6e3093 upstream. bf->bf_next is only while buffers are chained as part of an A-MPDU in the tx queue. When a tid queue is flushed (e.g. on tearing down an aggregation session), frames can be enqueued again as normal transmission, without bf_next being cleared. This can lead to the old pointer being dereferenced again later. This patch might fix crashes and "Failed to stop TX DMA!" messages.

commit ef5d437f upstream. On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page, page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty(). Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from xfs_count_page_state(). Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then page unmapped. Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is dirty. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned up variant of the patch. The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines where the original problem was triggered.

commit f6365201 upstream. The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this.

commit aaeb61a9 upstream. `pc236_detach()` is called by the comedi core if it attempted to attach a device and failed. `pc236_detach()` calls `pc236_intr_disable()` if the comedi device private data pointer (`devpriv`) is non-null. This test is insufficient as `pc236_intr_disable()` accesses hardware registers and the attach routine may have failed before it has saved their I/O base addresses. Fix it by checking `dev->iobase` is non-zero before calling `pc236_intr_disable()` as that means the I/O base addresses have been saved and the hardware registers can be accessed. It also implies the comedi device private data pointer is valid, so there is no need to check it.

commit 844ab6f9 upstream. Current logic finds enough space for direct mapping page tables from 0 to end. Instead, we only need to find enough space to cover mr[0].start to mr[nr_range].end -- the range that is actually being mapped by init_memory_mapping() This is needed after 1bbbbe77, to address the panic reported here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/20/160 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/21/157Signed-off-by: Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121024195311.GB11779@jshin-ToonieTested-by: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> Signed-off-by: H.
