[ Upstream commit 43da5f2e ] The implementation of dev_ifconf() for the compat ioctl interface uses an intermediate ifc structure allocated in userland for the duration of the syscall. Though, it fails to initialize the padding bytes inserted for alignment and that for leaks four bytes of kernel stack. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the info leak.

[ Upstream commit 3592aaeb ] The LLC code wrongly returns 0, i.e. "success", when the socket is zapped. Together with the uninitialized uaddrlen pointer argument from sys_getsockname this leads to an arbitrary memory leak of up to 128 bytes kernel stack via the getsockname() syscall. Return an error instead when the socket is zapped to prevent the info leak. Also remove the unnecessary memset(0). We don't directly write to the memory pointed by uaddr but memcpy() a local structure at the end of the function that is properly initialized. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 7f5c3e3a ] Here's a quote of the comment about the BUG macro from asm-generic/bug.h: Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out; one example might be detecting data structure corruption in the middle of an operation that can't be backed out of. If the (sub)system can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality, it's probably not BUG-worthy. If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly. In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides, the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 1485348d ] Cache the device gso_max_segs in sock::sk_gso_max_segs and use it to limit the size of TSO skbs. This avoids the need to fall back to software GSO for local TCP senders. Signed-off-by:

Ben Hutchings authored
[ Upstream commit 7e6d06f0 ] Currently an skb requiring TSO may not fit within a minimum-size TX queue. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Set the maximum number of TSO segments for our devices to 100. This should make no difference to behaviour unless the actual MSS is less than about 700. Increase the minimum TX queue size accordingly to allow for 2 worst-case skbs, so that there will definitely be space to add an skb after we wake a queue. To avoid invalidating existing configurations, change efx_ethtool_set_ringparam() to fix up values that are too small rather than returning -EINVAL. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 30b678d8 ] A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO. Signed-off-by:

commit bba3d8c3 upstream. The following build error occured during a parisc build with swap-over-NFS patches applied. net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: (near initialization for 'memalloc_socks') net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant Dave Anglin says: > Here is the line in sock.i: > > struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled = > ((atomic_t) { (0) }) }); The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a constant expression. The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must consist of constant expressions. Reported-by:

commit 156bddd8 upstream. Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash. Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is updated. Reported-by:

commit 9c2fc0de upstream. When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4 (udf: convert to new aops). Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page properly uptodate. Reported-by:

commit 14216561 upstream. This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem. SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2) if the device is in the stopped state as the result of processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND REQUIRED; mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this. The result is very confusing standby behaviour (using hdparm -y). If you suspend a drive and then send another command, usually it wakes up. However, if the next command is a TEST UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands. This means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back. If you send a command and then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive. This bit us badly because commit 85ef06d1 Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Fri Jul 1 16:17:47 2011 +0200 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2) Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command) resulting in lots of failed commands. The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we have to work around it. The fix for this is twofold: 1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been suspended 2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

SCSI: mpt2sas: Fix for Driver oops, when loading driver with max_queue_depth command line option to a very small value commit 338b131a upstream. If the specified max_queue_depth setting is less than the expected number of internal commands, then driver will calculate the queue depth size to a negitive number. This negitive number is actually a very large number because variable is unsigned 16bit integer. So, the driver will ask for a very large amount of memory for message frames and resulting into oops as memory allocation routines will not able to handle such a large request. So, in order to limit this kind of oops, The driver need to set the max_queue_depth to a scsi mid layer's can_queue value. Then the overall message frames required for IO is minimum of either (max_queue_depth plus internal commands) or the IOC global credits. Signed-off-by:

commit 71433285 upstream. During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value. If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management (ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value. Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread DSCR as required. This was found with the following test case, when running with more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all test cases successfully at the same time: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.cSigned-off-by:

commit 676ce6d5 upstream. Commit 91f68c89 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow") is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to __find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there. Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595: inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console, which pointed to this commit. I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7 itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between 18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2). (I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.) Revert 91f68c89, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers() and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()), returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case. And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird" comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??
