commit ad5987b4 upstream. Due to an apparent copy/paste bug, the number of counters for the beacon configuration were checked twice, instead of checking the number of probe response counters.

commit 2db34e78 upstream. The AES-CTR glue code avoids calling into the blkcipher API for the tail portion of the walk, by comparing the remainder of walk.nbytes modulo AES_BLOCK_SIZE with the residual nbytes, and jumping straight into the tail processing block if they are equal. This tail processing block checks whether nbytes != 0, and does nothing otherwise. However, in case of an allocation failure in the blkcipher layer, we may enter this code with walk.nbytes == 0, while nbytes > 0. In this case, we should not dereference the source and destination pointers, since they may be NULL. So instead of checking for nbytes != 0, check for (walk.nbytes % AES_BLOCK_SIZE) != 0, which implies the former in non-error conditions.

commit acdb04d0 upstream. When we need to allocate a temporary blkcipher_walk_next and it fails, the code is supposed to take the slow path of processing the data block by block. However, due to an unrelated change we instead end up dereferencing the NULL pointer. This patch fixes it by moving the unrelated bsize setting out of the way so that we enter the slow path as inteded.

commit 06dfe5cc upstream. SA1111 PCMCIA was broken when PCMCIA switched to using dev_pm_ops for the PCMCIA socket class. PCMCIA used to handle suspend/resume via the socket hosting device, which happened at normal device suspend/resume time. However, the referenced commit changed this: much of the resume now happens much earlier, in the noirq resume handler of dev_pm_ops. However, on SA1111, the PCMCIA device is not accessible as the SA1111 has not been resumed at _noirq time. It's slightly worse than that, because the SA1111 has already been put to sleep at _noirq time, so suspend doesn't work properly. Fix this by converting the core SA1111 code to use dev_pm_ops as well, and performing its own suspend/resume at noirq time. This fixes these errors in the kernel log: pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: time out after reset and the resulting lack of PCMCIA cards after a S2RAM cycle.

commit f6d7c1b5 upstream. This fixes subpage writes when using 4-bit HW ECC. There has been numerous reports about ECC errors with devices using this driver for a while. Also the 4-bit ECC has been reported as broken with subpages in [1] and with 16 bits NANDs in the driver and in mach* board files both in mainline and in the vendor BSPs. What I saw with 4-bit ECC on a 16bits NAND (on an LCDK) which got me to try reinitializing the ECC engine: - R/W on whole pages properly generates/checks RS code - try writing the 1st subpage only of a blank page, the subpage is well written and the RS code properly generated, re-reading the same page the HW detects some ECC error, reading the same page again no ECC error is detected Note that the ECC engine is already reinitialized in the 1-bit case. Tested on my LCDK with UBI+UBIFS using subpages. This could potentially get rid of the issue workarounded in [1].

commit 872c63fb upstream. smp_mb__before_spinlock() is intended to upgrade a spin_lock() operation to a full barrier, such that prior stores are ordered with respect to loads and stores occuring inside the critical section. Unfortunately, the core code defines the barrier as smp_wmb(), which is insufficient to provide the required ordering guarantees when used in conjunction with our load-acquire-based spinlock implementation. This patch overrides the arm64 definition of smp_mb__before_spinlock() to map to a full smp_mb().

commit 293f2936 upstream. On arm/arm64, we depend on the kvm_unmap_hva* callbacks (via mmu_notifiers::invalidate_*) to unmap the stage2 pagetables when the userspace buffer gets unmapped. However, when the Hypervisor process exits without explicit unmap of the guest buffers, the only notifier we get is kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() (via mmu_notifier::release ) which does nothing on arm. Later this causes us to access pages that were already released [via exit_mmap() -> unmap_vmas()] when we actually get to unmap the stage2 pagetable [via kvm_arch_destroy_vm() -> kvm_free_stage2_pgd()]. This triggers crashes with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which unmaps any free'd pages from the linear map.

commit 816f318b upstream. When a seq-virmidi driver is initialized, it registers a rawmidi instance with its callback to create an associated seq kernel client.

commit 751eb6b6 upstream. In general, when DAD detected IPv6 duplicate address, ifp->state will be set to INET6_IFADDR_STATE_ERRDAD and DAD is stopped by a delayed work, the call tree should be like this: ndisc_recv_ns -> addrconf_dad_failure <- missing ifp put -> addrconf_mod_dad_work -> schedule addrconf_dad_work() -> addrconf_dad_stop() <- missing ifp hold before call it addrconf_dad_failure() called with ifp refcont holding but not put. addrconf_dad_work() call addrconf_dad_stop() without extra holding refcount. This will not cause any issue normally. But the race between addrconf_dad_failure() and addrconf_dad_work() may cause ifp refcount leak and netdevice can not be unregister, dmesg show the following messages: IPv6: eth0: IPv6 duplicate address fe80::XX:XXXX:XXXX:XX detected! ... unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free.

commit 171c0091 upstream. 7985e7c1 ("iio: Introduce a new fractional value type") introduced a new IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL value type meant to represent rational type numbers expressed by a numerator and denominator combination. Formating of IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL values relies upon do_div() usage. This fails handling negative values properly since parameters are reevaluated as unsigned values. Fix this by using div_s64_rem() instead. Computed integer part will carry properly signed value. Formatted fractional part will always be positive.

commit dadb57ab upstream. efi_get_memory_map() allocates a buffer to store the memory map that it retrieves. This buffer may need to be reused by the client after ExitBootServices() is called, at which point allocations are not longer permitted. To support this usecase, provide the allocated buffer size back to the client, and allocate some additional headroom to account for any reasonable growth in the map that is likely to happen between the call to efi_get_memory_map() and the client reusing the buffer.

commit 519d8bd4 upstream. The previous driver is possible to stop the transfer wrongly. For example: 1) An interrupt happens, but not BRDY interruption. 2) Read INTSTS0. And than state->intsts0 is not set to BRDY. 3) BRDY is set to 1 here. 4) Read BRDYSTS. 5) Clear the BRDYSTS. And then. the BRDY is cleared wrongly. Remarks: - The INTSTS0.BRDY is read only. - If any bits of BRDYSTS are set to 1, the BRDY is set to 1. - If BRDYSTS is 0, the BRDY is set to 0. So, this patch adds condition to avoid such situation. (And about NRDYSTS, this is not used for now. But, avoiding any side effects, this patch doesn't touch it.)

commit 135e8c92 upstream. The origin of the issue I've seen is related to a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and the check for task->on_rq. The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule() and is doing the following: do { schedule() set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE); } while (!cond); The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in try_to_wake_up(): while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax(); Analysis: The instance I've seen involves the following race: CPU1 CPU2 while () { if (cond) break; do { schedule(); set_current_state(TASK_UN..) } while (!cond); wakeup_routine() spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process() } try_to_wake_up() set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); .. list_del(&waiter.list); CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs: CPU3 wakeup_routine() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) if (!list_empty) wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock) .. if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup()) .. while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax() .. CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately after CPU2, CPU3 got it. CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis, but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible (based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not done uder the pi_lock. The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely Reproduction of the issue: The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80 threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far. Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well.

By the time l2tp_tunnel_destruct() runs to destroy the tunnel and finish destroying the socket, the private data reserved via the net_generic mechanism has already been freed, but l2tp_tunnel_destruct() actually uses this data. Make sure tunnel deletion for the netns has completed before returning from l2tp_exit_net() by first flushing the tunnel removal workqueue, and then waiting for RCU callbacks to complete.

commit 546481c2 upstream. When a new CM connection is being requested, ipoib driver copies data from the path pointer in the CM/tx object, the path object might be invalid at the point and memory corruption will happened later when now the CM driver will try using that data. The next scenario demonstrates it: neigh_add_path --> ipoib_cm_create_tx --> queue_work (pointer to path is in the cm/tx struct) #while the work is still in the queue, #the port goes down and causes the ipoib_flush_paths: ipoib_flush_paths --> path_free --> kfree(path) #at this point the work scheduled starts. ipoib_cm_tx_start --> copy from the (invalid)path pointer: (memcpy(&pathrec, &p->path->pathrec, sizeof pathrec);) -> memory corruption. To fix that the driver now starts the CM/tx connection only if that specific path exists in the general paths database. This check is protected with the relevant locks, and uses the gid from the neigh member in the CM/tx object which is valid according to the ref count that was taken by the CM/tx.

commit 15301a57 upstream. Łukasz Daniluk reported that on a RHEL kernel that his machine would lock up after enabling function tracer. I asked him to bisect the functions within available_filter_functions, which he did and it came down to three: _paravirt_nop(), _paravirt_ident_32() and _paravirt_ident_64() It was found that this is only an issue when noreplace-paravirt is added to the kernel command line. This means that those functions are most likely called within critical sections of the funtion tracer, and must not be traced. In newer kenels _paravirt_nop() is defined within gcc asm(), and is no longer an issue. But both _paravirt_ident_{32,64}() causes the following splat when they are traced: mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8800d2435150(0000000001d00054) mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8800d3624190(0000000001d00070) mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8800d36a5110(0000000001d00054) mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff880118eb1450(0000000001d00054) NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 22s!

commit 735f2770 upstream. Commit fec1d011 ("[PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal exit") has caused a subtle regression in nscd which uses CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID to clear the nscd_certainly_running flag in the shared databases, so that the clients are notified when nscd is restarted. Now, when nscd uses a non-persistent database, clients that have it mapped keep thinking the database is being updated by nscd, when in fact nscd has created a new (anonymous) one (for non-persistent databases it uses an unlinked file as backend). The original proposal for the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID change claimed (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/25/233): : The NPTL library uses the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag on clone() syscalls : on behalf of pthread_create() library calls. This feature is used to : request that the kernel clear the thread-id in user space (at an address : provided in the syscall) when the thread disassociates itself from the : address space, which is done in mm_release(). : : Unfortunately, when a multi-threaded process incurs a core dump (such as : from a SIGSEGV), the core-dumping thread sends SIGKILL signals to all of : the other threads, which then proceed to clear their user-space tids : before synchronizing in exit_mm() with the start of core dumping. This : misrepresents the state of process's address space at the time of the : SIGSEGV and makes it more difficult for someone to debug NPTL and glibc : problems (misleading him/her to conclude that the threads had gone away : before the fault). : : The fix below is to simply avoid the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID action if a : core dump has been initiated. The resulting patch from Roland (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/26/269) seems to have a larger scope than the original patch asked for. It seems that limitting the scope of the check to core dumping should work for SIGSEGV issue describe above.

commit 28b346cb upstream. Yuchung noticed that on the first TFO server data packet sent after the (TFO) handshake, the server echoed the TCP timestamp value in the SYN/data instead of the timestamp value in the final ACK of the handshake. This problem did not happen on regular opens. The tcp_replace_ts_recent() logic that decides whether to remember an incoming TS value needs tp->rcv_wup to hold the latest receive sequence number that we have ACKed (latest tp->rcv_nxt we have ACKed). This commit fixes this issue by ensuring that a TFO server properly updates tp->rcv_wup to match tp->rcv_nxt at the time it sends a SYN/ACK for the SYN/data.

commit 6b1ca4bc upstream. In hwdep interface of fireworks driver, accessing to user space is in a critical section with disabled local interrupt. Depending on architecture, accessing to user space can cause page fault exception. Then local processor stores machine status and handles the synchronous event. A handler corresponding to the event can call task scheduler to wait for preparing pages. In a case of usage of single core processor, the state to disable local interrupt is worse because it don't handle usual interrupts from hardware. This commit fixes this bug, performing the accessing outside spinlock. This commit also gives up counting the number of queued response messages to simplify ring-buffer management.

commit df6a58c5 upstream. kernfs_notify_workfn() sends out file modified events for the scheduled kernfs_nodes. Because the modifications aren't from userland, it doesn't have the matching file struct at hand and can't use fsnotify_modify(). Instead, it looked up the inode and then used d_find_any_alias() to find the dentry and used fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify() directly to generate notifications. The assumption was that the relevant dentries would have been pinned if there are listeners, which isn't true as inotify doesn't pin dentries at all and watching the parent doesn't pin the child dentries even for dnotify. This led to, for example, inotify watchers not getting notifications if the system is under memory pressure and the matching dentries got reclaimed. It can also be triggered through /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches or a remount attempt which involves shrinking dcache. fsnotify_parent() only uses the dentry to access the parent inode, which kernfs can do easily. Update kernfs_notify_workfn() so that it uses fsnotify() directly for both the parent and target inodes without going through d_find_any_alias(). While at it, supply the target file name to fsnotify() from kernfs_node->name.
