      edac_mc: edac_mc_free() cannot assume mem_ctl_info is registered in sysfs. · faa2ad09
      Shaun Ruffell authored
      Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on
      system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1.
      
      Since commit 7a623c03 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct
      device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in
      struct mem_ctl_info.  Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
      decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
      the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().
      
      Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
      been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
      release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
      pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().
      
      The BUG this patch resolves for me:

      edac_mc: fix messy kfree calls in the error path · ef6e7816
      Fengguang Wu authored
      coccinelle warns about:

         423                         csr = mci->csrows[chn];
         424                         if (csr) {
       > 425                                 for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++)
         426                                          kfree(csr->channels[chn]);
         427                                  kfree(csr);
         428                          }

         430                  }
         431                  kfree(mci->csrows);
         432          }
      
      and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory
      leak, out-of-bound reads etc.):
      
      L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be
            "row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or
            out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault
            error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses).
      
      L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop,
            which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak.
      
      L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in
            previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which
            means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the
            same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free
            for the kfree(csr) in L427.
      
      L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory.
      
      The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem
      allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1
      merge window. Fix it by freeing up resources in this order:
      
        free csrows[i]->channels[j]
        free csrows[i]->channels
        free csrows[i]
        free csrows

      The quirk introduced with commit
      00250ec9 (hwmon: fam15h_power: fix
      bogus values with current BIOSes) is not only required during driver
      load but also when system resumes from suspend. The BIOS might set the
      previously recommended (but unsuitable) initilization value for the
      running average range register during resume.

      hwmon: (coretemp) Use get_online_cpus to avoid races involving CPU hotplug · 641f1456
      Silas Boyd-Wickizer authored
      coretemp_init loops with for_each_online_cpu, adding platform_devices
      and sysfs interfaces, then calls register_hotcpu_notifier.  There is a
      race if a CPU is offlined or onlined after the loop, but before
      register_hotcpu_notifier.  The race might result in the absence of a
      platform_device+sysfs interface for an online CPU, or the presence of
      a platform_device+sysfs interface for an offline CPU.  A similar race
      occurs during coretemp_exit, after the module calls
      unregister_hotcpu_notifier, but before it unregisters all devices, a
      CPU might offline and a device for an offline CPU will exist for a
      short while.
      
      This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier
      with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus; and surrounds
      unregister_hotcpu_notifier and device unregistering with
      get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.
      
      Build tested.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull networking updates from David Miller:
       "More bug fixes, nothing gets past these guys"
      
       1) More kernel info leaks found by Mathias Krause, this time in the
          IPSEC configuration layers.
      
       2) When IPSEC policies change, we do not properly make sure that cached
          routes (which could now be stale) throughout the system will be
          revalidated.  Fix this by generalizing the generation count
          invalidation scheme used by ipv4.  From Nicolas Dichtel.
      
       3) When repairing TCP sockets, we need to allow to restore not just the
          send window scale, but the receive one too.  Extend the existing
          interface to achieve this in a backwards compatible way.  From
          Andrey Vagin.
      
       4) A fix for FCOE scatter gather feature validation erroneously caused
          scatter gather to be disabled for things like AOE too.  From Ed L
          Cashin.
      
       5) Several cases of mishandling of error pointers, from Mathias Krause,
          Wei Yongjun, and Devendra Naga.
      
       6) Fix gianfar build, from Richard Cochran.
      
       7) CAP_NET_* failures should return -EPERM not -EACCES, from Zhao
          Hongjiang.
      
       8) Hardware reset fix in janz-ican3 CAN driver, from Ira W Snyder.
      
       9) Fix oops during rmmod in ti_hecc CAN driver, from Marc Kleine-Budde.
      
      10) The removal of the conditional compilation of the clk support code
          in the stmmac driver broke things.  This is because the interfaces
          used are the ones that don't also perform the enable/disable of the
          clk.  Fix from Stefan Roese.
      
      11) The QFQ packet scheduler can record out of range virtual start
          times, resulting later in misbehavior and even crashes.  Fix from
          Paolo Valente.
      
      12) If MSG_WAITALL is used with IOAT DMA under TCP, we can wedge the
          receiver when the advertised receive window goes to zero.  Detect
          this case and force the processing of the IOAT DMA queue when it
          happens to avoid getting stuck.  Fix from Michal Kubecek.
      
      13) batman-adv assumes that test_bit() returns only 0 or 1, but this is
          not true for x86 (which returns -1 or 0, via the 'sbb' instruction).
          Fix from Linus Lussing.
      
      14) Fix small packet corruption in e1000, from Tushar Dave.
      
      15) make_blackhole() in the IPSEC policy code can do one read unlock too
          many, fix from Li RongQing.
      
      16) The new tcp_try_coalesce() code introduced a bug in TCP URG
          handling, fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
      17) Fix memory leak in __netif_receive_skb() when doing zerocopy and
          when hit an OOM condition.  From Michael S Tsirkin.
      
      18) netxen blindly deferences pdev->bus->self, which is not guarenteed
          to be non-NULL.  Fix from Nikolay Aleksandrov.
      
      19) Fix a performance regression caused by mistakes in ipv6 checksum
          validation in the bnx2x driver, fix from Michal Schmidt.
