commit 952fc18e upstream. Commit f975d6bc introduced bug which caused ext4_statfs() to miscalculate the number of file system overhead blocks. This causes the f_blocks field in the statfs structure to be larger than it should be. This would in turn cause the "df" output to show the number of data blocks in the file system and the number of data blocks used to be larger than they should be. Signed-off-by:

commit ce806a30 upstream. Linear copy works by adding the offset to the buffer address, which may end up not being 16-byte aligned. Some tests I've written for prime_pcopy show that the engine allows this correctly, so the restriction on lowest 4 bits of address can be lifted safely. The comments added were by envyas, I think because I used a newer version. Signed-off-by:

commit a427b9ec upstream. Fix a number of bugs in the NFS idmapper code: (1) Only registered key types can be passed to the core keys code, so register the legacy idmapper key type. This is a requirement because the unregister function cleans up keys belonging to that key type so that there aren't dangling pointers to the module left behind - including the key->type pointer. (2) Rename the legacy key type. You can't have two key types with the same name, and (1) would otherwise require that. (3) complete_request_key() must be called in the error path of nfs_idmap_legacy_upcall(). (4) There is one idmap struct for each nfs_client struct. This means that idmap->idmap_key_cons is shared without the use of a lock. This is a problem because key_instantiate_and_link() - as called indirectly by idmap_pipe_downcall() - releases anyone waiting for the key to be instantiated. What happens is that idmap_pipe_downcall() running in the rpc.idmapd thread, releases the NFS filesystem in whatever thread that is running in to continue. This may then make another idmapper call, overwriting idmap_key_cons before idmap_pipe_downcall() gets the chance to call complete_request_key(). I *think* that reading idmap_key_cons only once, before key_instantiate_and_link() is called, and then caching the result in a variable is sufficient.

The VM ends up calling ->releasepage to get more memory, and it tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without a connected socket, so we deadlock. Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do allocations sometimes. Signed-off-by:

commit 8ded2bbc upstream. Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time. Reported-by:

Also, prevent this sort of thing in the future by having cifsFileInfo_get take the spinlock itself, and adding a _locked variant for use in places that are already holding the lock.

Josef made the free callback also call iput, which we can't do with the spinlock. This drops the spinlock for the free operation and grabs it again before moving through the rest of the list.

commit 65758202 upstream. Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU. Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without explicitly detaching the existing workers. However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which aren't bound to the CPU. While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following successful CPU down. Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high priority for up operations and low priority for down operations. Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup. Signed-off-by:

commit 008c2e8f upstream. Make sure the kernel does not incorrectly create a SIGBUS signal during user space accesses: For user space accesses in the switched addressing mode case the kernel may walk page tables and access user address space via the kernel mapping. If a page table entry is invalid the function __handle_fault() gets called in order to emulate a page fault and trigger all the usual actions like paging in a missing page etc. by calling handle_mm_fault(). If handle_mm_fault() returns with an error fixup handling is necessary. For the switched addressing mode case all errors need to be mapped to -EFAULT, so that the calling uaccess function can return -EFAULT to user space. Unfortunately the __handle_fault() incorrectly calls do_sigbus() if VM_FAULT_SIGBUS is set. This however should only happen if a page fault was triggered by a user space instruction. For kernel mode uaccesses the correct action is to only return -EFAULT. So user space may incorrectly see SIGBUS signals because of this bug. For current machines this would only be possible for the switched addressing mode case in conjunction with futex operations. Signed-off-by:

If a 31 bit process forks the new mm uses a 4 level page table, including the task size of 2<<42 that goes along with it. This is incorrect as now a 31 bit process can map memory beyond 2GB. Define arch_dup_mmap to do the downgrade after fork. Signed-off-by:

commit 0008204f upstream. The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read. One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid. On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE. CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics. This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update. As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles. Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to the problem. Signed-off-by:

commit fe020120 upstream. mwifiex driver supports 2x2 chips as well. Hence valid mcs values are 0 to 15. The check for mcs index is corrected in this patch. For example: if 40MHz is enabled and mcs index is 11, "iw link" command would show "tx bitrate: 108.0 MBit/s" without this patch. Now it shows "tx bitrate: 108.0 MBit/s MCS 11 40Mhz" with the patch.
