commit 9438fabb upstream. The name_len variable in CIFSFindNext is a signed int that gets set to the resume_name_len in the cifs_search_info. The resume_name_len however is unsigned and for some infolevels is populated directly from a 32 bit value sent by the server. If the server sends a very large value for this, then that value could look negative when converted to a signed int. That would make that value pass the PATH_MAX check later in CIFSFindNext. The name_len would then be used as a length value for a memcpy. It would then be treated as unsigned again, and the memcpy scribbles over a ton of memory. Fix this by making the name_len an unsigned value in CIFSFindNext.

commit 27a7b260 upstream. 0.90 metadata uses an unsigned 32bit number to count the number of kilobytes used from each device. This should allow up to 4TB per device. However we multiply this by 2 (to get sectors) before casting to a larger type, so sizes above 2TB get truncated. Also we allow rdev->sectors to be larger than 4TB, so it is possible for the array to be resized larger than the metadata can handle. So make sure rdev->sectors never exceeds 4TB when 0.90 metadata is in used. Also the sanity check at the end of super_90_load should include level 1 as it used ->size too. (RAID0 and Linear don't use ->size at all). Reported-by: Pim Zandbergen <P.Zandbergen@macroscoop.nl> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit 810198bc upstream. DA850/OMAP-L138 EMAC driver uses random mac address instead of a fixed one because the mac address is not stuffed into EMAC platform data. This patch provides a function which reads the mac address stored in SPI flash (registered as MTD device) and populates the EMAC platform data. The function which reads the mac address is registered as a callback which gets called upon addition of MTD device. NOTE: In case the MAC address stored in SPI flash is erased, follow the instructions at [1] to restore it. [1] http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_OMAP-L138_DVEVM_Additional_Procedures#Restoring_MAC_address_on_SPI_Flash Modifications in v2: Guarded registering the mtd_notifier only when MTD is enabled. Earlier this was handled using mtd_has_partitions() call, but this has been removed in Linux v3.0. Modifications in v3: a. Guarded da850_evm_m25p80_notify_add() function and da850evm_spi_notifier structure with CONFIG_MTD macros. b. Renamed da850_evm_register_mtd_user() function to da850_evm_setup_mac_addr() and removed the struct mtd_notifier argument to this function. c. Passed the da850evm_spi_notifier structure to register_mtd_user() function. Modifications in v4: Moved the da850_evm_setup_mac_addr() function within the first CONFIG_MTD ifdef construct.

commit ed467e69 upstream. We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those options turn of important sources of interrupt information so we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.

commit 5b339bdf upstream. We ran into an issue where it looks like we're not properly ignoring a pci device with a non-good status property when we walk the device tree and instanciate the Linux side PCI devices. However, the EEH init code does look for the property and disables EEH on these devices. This leaves us in an inconsistent where we are poking at a supposedly bad piece of hardware and RTAS will block our config cycles because EEH isn't enabled anyway.

commit d1dc7abf upstream. Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[]. Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb: ->data_len is not decreased at all. ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag. Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return -EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall. In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver decides to switch from the former to the latter. Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat: - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero - on machine1: echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use skbs echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method # use pages - See that nc has quit suddenly.

commit 0aa68271 upstream. Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path. This patch fixes this. Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g., IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether, when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead. I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message. Someone should add that to be 100% correct.

commit 5598473a upstream. If we can't push the pending register windows onto the user's stack, we disallow signal delivery even if the signal would be delivered on a valid seperate signal stack. Add a register window save area in the signal frame, and store any unsavable windows there. On sigreturn, if any windows are still queued up in the signal frame, try to push them back onto the stack and if that fails we kill the process immediately. This allows the debug/tst-longjmp_chk2 glibc test case to pass. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit 7ca0758c upstream. When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes errors if the system call as to be restarted. For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower entry point for a post-restart.

commit 9ea71503 upstream. commit 7485d0d3 (futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems: First, It prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get the page. The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it broke futex operations on read-only memory maps. For example, this breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE. This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast() fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address. This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really make sense. With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process updates the region of the underlying mapped file. However, the mmap() man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping: It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region. So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are depending on unspecified behavior. Additionally a RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case. Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return inode based key. sleep on the key Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A) Thread-B: write memory-region-A. COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page. Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A). get_futex_key() return mm based key. IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A. Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do something like this get what they deserve. While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a userspace hang. This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

commit da6094ea upstream. The snd_usb_caiaq driver currently assumes that output urbs are serviced in time and doesn't track when and whether they are given back by the USB core. That usually works fine, but due to temporary limitations of the XHCI stack, we faced that urbs were submitted more than once with this approach. As it's no good practice to fire and forget urbs anyway, this patch introduces a proper bit mask to track which requests have been submitted and given back. That alone however doesn't make the driver work in case the host controller is broken and doesn't give back urbs at all, and the output stream will stop once all pre-allocated output urbs are consumed. But it does prevent crashes of the controller stack in such cases. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40702 for more details.

commit 3eb8e74e upstream. The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables. This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death"). crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size)); computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes. There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call. A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size. In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow. Validate value of GUID partition table header size.
