The kerneldoc comment for kthread_create() had an incorrect argument name, leading to a warning in the docs build. Correct it, and make one more small step toward a warning-free build.

gcc-7 produces this warning: mm/kasan/report.c: In function 'kasan_report': mm/kasan/report.c:351:3: error: 'info.first_bad_addr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] print_shadow_for_address(info->first_bad_addr); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mm/kasan/report.c:360:27: note: 'info.first_bad_addr' was declared here The code seems fine as we only print info.first_bad_addr when there is a shadow, and we always initialize it in that case, but this is relatively hard for gcc to figure out after the latest rework. Adding an intialization to the most likely value together with the other struct members shuts up that warning.

When mremap is called with MREMAP_FIXED it unmaps memory at the destination address without notifying userfaultfd monitor. If the destination were registered with userfaultfd, the monitor has no way to distinguish between the old and new ranges and to properly relate the page faults that would occur in the destination region.

Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as munmap, mremap and madvise. For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes. Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs triggering a fault. Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13 merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his ack.

Commit 9a291a7c ("mm/hugetlb: report -EHWPOISON not -EFAULT when FOLL_HWPOISON is specified") causes __get_user_pages to ignore certain errors from follow_hugetlb_page. After such error, __get_user_pages subsequently calls faultin_page on the same VMA and start address that follow_hugetlb_page failed on instead of returning the error immediately as it should. In follow_hugetlb_page, when hugetlb_fault returns a value covered under VM_FAULT_ERROR, follow_hugetlb_page returns it without setting nr_pages to 0 as __get_user_pages expects in this case, which causes the following to happen in __get_user_pages: the "while (nr_pages)" check succeeds, we skip the "if (!vma..." check because we got a VMA the last time around, we find no page with follow_page_mask, and we call faultin_page, which calls hugetlb_fault for the second time. This issue also slightly changes how __get_user_pages works. Before, it only returned error if it had made no progress (i = 0). But now, follow_hugetlb_page can clobber "i" with an error code since its new return path doesn't check for progress. So if "i" is nonzero before a failing call to follow_hugetlb_page, that indication of progress is lost and __get_user_pages can return error even if some pages were successfully pinned. To fix this, change follow_hugetlb_page so that it updates nr_pages, allowing __get_user_pages to fail immediately and restoring the "error only if no progress" behavior to __get_user_pages. Tested that __get_user_pages returns when expected on error from hugetlb_fault in follow_hugetlb_page.

When I converted dell-wmi to the new bus infrastructure, I left the call to dell_wmi_check_descriptor_buffer() in dell_wmi_init(). This could cause two problems: - An error message when loading the driver on a system without dell-wmi. We'd try to read the event descriptor even if the WMI GUID wasn't there. - A possible race if dell-wmi was loaded manually before wmi was fully initialized. Fix it by moving the call to the probe function where it belongs.

Since commit 67a51780 ("ipv6: udp: leverage scratch area helpers") udp6_recvmsg() read the skb len from the scratch area, to avoid a cache miss. But the UDP6 rx path support RFC 2675 UDPv6 jumbograms, and their length exceeds the 16 bits available in the scratch area. As a side effect the length returned by recvmsg() is: <ingress datagram len> % (1<<16) This commit addresses the issue allocating one more bit in the IP6CB flags field and setting it for incoming jumbograms. Such field is still in the first cacheline, so at recvmsg() time we can check it and fallback to access skb->len if required, without a measurable overhead.

The PPTP set the pptp_sock_destruct as the sock's sk_destruct, it would trigger this bug when __sk_free is invoked in atomic context, because of the call path pptp_sock_destruct->del_chan->synchronize_rcu. Now move the synchronize_rcu to pptp_release from del_chan. This is the only one case which would free the sock and need the synchronize_rcu.

Seth Forshee noticed a performance degradation with some workloads. This turns out to be due to packet drops. Euan Kemp noticed that this is because we drop all packets where length exceeds the truesize, but for some packets we add in extra memory without updating the truesize. This in turn was kept around unchanged from ab7db917 ("virtio-net: auto-tune mergeable rx buffer size for improved performance"). That commit had an internal reason not to account for the extra space: not enough bits to do it. No longer true so let's account for the allocated length exactly. Many thanks to Seth Forshee for the report and bisecting and Euan Kemp for debugging the issue.

Michał reported a NULL pointer deref during fib_sync_down_dev() when unregistering a netdevice. The problem is that we don't check for 'in_dev' being NULL, which can happen in very specific cases. Usually routes are flushed upon NETDEV_DOWN sent in either the netdev or the inetaddr notification chains. However, if an interface isn't configured with any IP address, then it's possible for host routes to be flushed following NETDEV_UNREGISTER, after NULLing dev->ip_ptr in inetdev_destroy(). To reproduce: $ ip link add type dummy $ ip route add local 1.1.1.0/24 dev dummy0 $ ip link del dev dummy0 Fix this by checking for the presence of 'in_dev' before referencing it.

Marc reported that he was not getting the PHY library adjust_link() callback function to run when calling phy_stop() + phy_disconnect() which does not indeed happen because we set the state machine to PHY_HALTED but we don't get to run it to process this state past that point. Fix this with a synchronous call to phy_state_machine() in order to have the state machine actually act on PHY_HALTED, set the PHY device's link down, turn the network device's carrier off and finally call the adjust_link() function.

Unfortunately, I forgot to update the documentation properly and we grew a handful of use cases which depend on that assumption. While we want to convert them to alloc_ordered_workqueue(), we don't really lose anything by enforcing ordered execution on unbound max_active == 1 workqueues and it doesn't make sense to risk subtle bugs. Restore the assumption. - Workqueue assumes that CPU <-> NUMA node mapping remains static. This is a general assumption - we don't have any synchronization mechanism around CPU <-> node mapping.

bpf_prog_size(prog->len) is not the correct length we want to dump back to user space. The code in bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() uses this to copy prog->insnsi to user space, but bpf_prog_size(prog->len) also includes the size of struct bpf_prog itself plus program instructions and is usually used either in context of accounting or for bpf_prog_alloc() et al, thus we copy out of bounds in bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() potentially. Use the correct bpf_prog_insn_size() instead.

When using CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, the TCP code produces a false-positive warning: net/ipv4/tcp_output.c: In function 'tcp_connect': net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds] tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start; ^~ net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2207:40: error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds] tp->chrono_stat[tp->chrono_type - 1] += now - tp->chrono_start; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have opened a gcc bug for this, but distros have already shipped compilers with this problem, and it's not clear yet whether there is a way for gcc to avoid the warning. As the problem is related to the bitfield access, this introduces a temporary variable to store the old enum value. I did not notice this warning earlier, since UBSAN is disabled when building with COMPILE_TEST, and that was always turned on in both allmodconfig and randconfig tests.

When an early demuxed packet reaches __udp6_lib_lookup_skb(), the sk reference is retrieved and used, but the relevant reference count is leaked and the socket destructor is never called. Beyond leaking the sk memory, if there are pending UDP packets in the receive queue, even the related accounted memory is leaked. In the long run, this will cause persistent forward allocation errors and no UDP skbs (both ipv4 and ipv6) will be able to reach the user-space. Fix this by explicitly accessing the early demux reference before the lookup, and properly decreasing the socket reference count after usage. Also drop the skb_steal_sock() in __udp6_lib_lookup_skb(), and the now obsoleted comment about "socket cache". The newly added code is derived from the current ipv4 code for the similar path. v1 -> v2: fixed the __udp6_lib_rcv() return code for resubmission, as suggested by Eric Reported-by: Sam Edwards <CFSworks@gmail.com> Reported-by: Marc Haber <mh+netdev@zugschlus.de> Fixes: 5425077d ("net: ipv6: Add early demux handler for UDP unicast") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
