commit f06f00a2 upstream. svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply. However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately. Meanwhile other threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut down. This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look to the client like further read data. Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging something like kernel: rpc-srv/tcp: nfsd: sent only 963696 when sending 1048708 bytes - shutting down socket Reported-by:

commit d10f27a7 upstream. The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply before it receives a request. It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket. Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it checks whether there is space available. If it finds that there is not space, it then subtracts the estimate back out. This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is space after all. The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing server threads to loop without doing any actual work. Reported-by:

commit be1e4444 upstream. Examination of svc_tcp_clear_pages shows that it assumes sk_tcplen is consistent with sk_pages[] (in particular, sk_pages[n] can't be NULL if sk_tcplen would lead us to expect n pages of data). svc_tcp_restore_pages zeroes out sk_pages[] while leaving sk_tcplen. This is OK, since both functions are serialized by XPT_BUSY. However, that means the inconsistency must be repaired before dropping XPT_BUSY. Therefore we should be ensuring that svc_tcp_save_pages repairs the problem before exiting svc_tcp_recv_record on error. Symptoms were a BUG() in svc_tcp_clear_pages. Signed-off-by:

commit a2140fc0 upstream. Refcounting of fsnotify_mark in audit tree is broken. E.g: refcount create_chunk alloc_chunk 1 fsnotify_add_mark 2 untag_chunk fsnotify_get_mark 3 fsnotify_destroy_mark audit_tree_freeing_mark 2 fsnotify_put_mark 1 fsnotify_put_mark 0 via destroy_list fsnotify_mark_destroy -1 This was reported by various people as triggering Oops when stopping auditd. We could just remove the put_mark from audit_tree_freeing_mark() but that would break freeing via inode destruction. So this patch simply omits a put_mark after calling destroy_mark or adds a get_mark before. The additional get_mark is necessary where there's no other put_mark after fsnotify_destroy_mark() since it assumes that the caller is holding a reference (or the inode is keeping the mark pinned, not the case here AFAICS).

commit 47fbf797 upstream. Ever since commit 0a57cdac (NFSv4.1 send layoutreturn to fence disconnected data server) we've been sending layoutreturn calls while there is potentially still outstanding I/O to the data servers. The reason we do this is to avoid races between replayed writes to the MDS and the original writes to the DS. When this happens, the BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_done can be triggered because it assumes that we would never call layoutreturn without knowing that all I/O to the DS is finished. The fix is to remove the BUG_ON() now that the assumptions behind the test are obsolete. Reported-by:

commit eb48c071 upstream. Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly accounted for in _mapcount. Normally the rules for this are straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different. The page table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount remains the same. If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by Larry Woodman: kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:135! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU 22 Modules linked in: bridge stp llc sunrpc binfmt_misc dcdbas microcode pcspkr acpi_pad acpi] Pid: 18001, comm: mpitest Tainted: G W 3.3.0+ #4 Dell Inc.

The logic is if the PMD page is the same, they must be shared. This assumes that the sharing is between the parent and child. However, if the sharing is with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this diagram: parent | ------------>pmd src_pte----------> data page ^ other--------->pmd--------------------| ^ child-----------| dst_pte For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other. This is possible due to the following style of race. PROC A PROC B copy_hugetlb_page_range copy_hugetlb_page_range src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset !src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing (time passes) hugetlb_fault hugetlb_fault huge_pte_alloc huge_pte_alloc huge_pmd_share huge_pmd_share LOCK(i_mmap_mutex) find nothing, no sharing UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex) LOCK(i_mmap_mutex) find nothing, no sharing UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex) pmd_alloc pmd_alloc LOCK(instantiation_mutex) fault UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex) LOCK(instantiation_mutex) fault UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex) These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient. As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in (harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a shared page table leading to the BUG_ON. This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical section as pmd. This also means that huge_pte_offset test in huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud and pmd populated together. Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman. {akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to make the huge_pmd_share() comment comprehensible, clean up coding style] Reported-by:

commit a2fa3ccd upstream. Currently we export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space but that conflicts with the definition from glibc leading to compilation errors in user programs (e.g. see Debian bug #658460). The generic socket.h restricts the definition of SOCK_NONBLOCK to the kernel, as does the MIPS specific socket.h, so let's do the same on Alpha. Signed-off-by:

commit 730a8128 upstream. Commit 5a783cbc ("ARM: 7478/1: errata: extend workaround for erratum #720789") added workarounds for erratum #720789 to the range TLB invalidation functions with the observation that the erratum only affects SMP platforms. However, when running an SMP_ON_UP kernel on a uniprocessor platform we must take care to preserve the ASID as the workaround is not required. This patch ensures that we don't set the ASID to 0 when flushing the TLB on such a system, preserving the original behaviour with the workaround disabled. Signed-off-by:

commit f5f2025e upstream. Page migration encodes the pfn in the offset field of a swp_entry_t. For LPAE, we support physical addresses of up to 36 bits (due to sparsemem limitations with the size of page flags), requiring 24 bits to represent a pfn. A further 3 bits are used to encode a swp_entry into a pte, leaving 5 bits for the type field. Furthermore, the core code defines MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT as 5, so the additional type bit does not get used. This patch reduces the width of the type field to 5 bits, allowing us to create up to 31 swapfiles of 64GB each. Reviewed-by:

commit 47f12043 upstream. Swap entries are encoding in ptes such that !pte_present(pte) and pte_file(pte). The remaining bits of the descriptor are used to identify the swapfile and offset within it to the swap entry. When writing such a pte for a user virtual address, set_pte_at unconditionally sets the nG bit, which (in the case of LPAE) will corrupt the swapfile offset and lead to a BUG: [ 140.494067] swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 000763b4 [ 140.509989] BUG: Bad page map in process rs:main Q:Reg pte:0ec76800 pmd:8f92e003 This patch fixes the problem by only setting the nG bit for user mappings that are actually present.

commit e95829f4 upstream. The Intel desktop boards DH77EB and DH77DF have a hardware issue that can be worked around by BIOS. If the USB ports are switched to xHCI on shutdown, the xHCI host will send a spurious interrupt, which will wake the system. Some BIOS will work around this, but not all. The bug can be avoided if the USB ports are switched back to EHCI on shutdown. The Intel Windows driver switches the ports back to EHCI, so change the Linux xHCI driver to do the same. Unfortunately, we can't tell the two effected boards apart from other working motherboards, because the vendors will change the DMI strings for the DH77EB and DH77DF boards to their own custom names. One example is Compulab's mini-desktop, the Intense-PC. Instead, key off the Panther Point xHCI host PCI vendor and device ID, and switch the ports over for all PPT xHCI hosts. The only impact this will have on non-effected boards is to add a couple hundred milliseconds delay on boot when the BIOS has to switch the ports over from EHCI to xHCI. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit 69e848c2 "Intel xhci: Support EHCI/xHCI port switching." Signed-off-by:

commit 5cb7df2b upstream. Gary reports that with recent kernels, he notices more xHCI driver warnings: xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: WARN Successful completion on short TX: needs XHCI_TRUST_TX_LENGTH quirk? We think his Etron xHCI host controller may have the same buggy behavior as the Fresco Logic xHCI host. When a short transfer is received, the host will mark the transfer as successfully completed when it should be marking it with a short completion. Fix this by turning on the XHCI_TRUST_TX_LENGTH quirk when the Etron host is discovered. Note that Gary has revision 1, but if Etron fixes this bug in future revisions, the quirk will have no effect. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36, that contain a backported version of commit 1530bbc6 "xhci: Add new short TX quirk for Fresco Logic host." Signed-off-by:

commit 81ee8fb6 upstream. It seems we can not update the crtc scanout address. After disabling crtc, update to base address do not take effect after crtc being reenable leading to at least frame being scanout from the old crtc base address. Disabling crtc display request lead to same behavior. So after changing the vram address if we don't keep crtc disabled we will have the GPU trying to read some random system memory address with some iommu this will broke the crtc engine and will lead to broken display and iommu error message. So to avoid this, disable crtc. For flicker less boot we will need to avoid moving the vram start address.

A simplified call graph looks like this: pygrub QEMU ----------------------------------------------- do_read_cache_page io_submit | | lock_page ext3_direct_IO | bio_add_page | lock_page Internally the xen-blkback uses m2p_add_override to swizzle (temporarily) a 'struct page' to have a different MFN (so that it can point to another guest). It also can easily find out whether another pfn corresponding to the mfn exists in the m2p, and can set the FOREIGN bit in the p2m, making sure that mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the backend. This allows the backend to perform direct_IO on these pages, but as a side effect prevents the frontend from using get_user_pages_fast on them while they are being shared with the backend.

commit fb6ccff6 upstream. Commit 7572777e attempted to verify that the total iovec from the client doesn't overflow iov_length() but it only checked the first element. The iovec could still overflow by starting with a small element. The obvious fix is to check all the elements. The overflow case doesn't look dangerous to the kernel as the copy is limited by the length after the overflow. This fix restores the intention of returning an error instead of successfully copying less than the iovec represented. I found this by code inspection. I built it but don't have a test case. I'm cc:ing stable because the initial commit did as well. Signed-off-by:

commit e8587121 upstream. The native 31 bit and the compat behaviour for the mmap system calls differ: In native 31 bit mode the passed in address for the mmap system call will be unmodified passed to sys_mmap_pgoff(). In compat mode however the passed in address will be modified with compat_ptr() which masks out the most significant bit. The result is that in native 31 bit mode each mmap request (with MAP_FIXED) will fail where the most significat bit is set, while in compat mode it may succeed. This odd behaviour was introduced with d3815898 "[S390] mmap: add missing compat_ptr conversion to both mmap compat syscalls". To restore a consistent behaviour accross native and compat mode this patch functionally reverts the above mentioned commit. Signed-off-by:
