commit a56f992c upstream. This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the timer from running while the module is being removed when we only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync(). The timer should normally not be running at this point, but it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)

commit c0729eee upstream. Éric Piel reported a kernel oops in the "comedi_test" module. It was a NULL pointer dereference within `waveform_ai_interrupt()` (actually a timer function) that sometimes occurred when a running asynchronous command is cancelled (either by the `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl or by closing the device file). This seems to be a race between the caller of `waveform_ai_cancel()` which on return from that function goes and tears down the running command, and the timer function which uses the command. In particular, `async->cmd.chanlist` gets freed (and the pointer set to NULL) by `do_become_nonbusy()` in "comedi_fops.c" but a previously scheduled `waveform_ai_interrupt()` timer function will dereference that pointer regardless, leading to the oops. Fix it by replacing the `del_timer()` call in `waveform_ai_cancel()` with `del_timer_sync()`.

commit 7d3135af upstream. When a low-level comedi driver auto-configures a device, a `struct comedi_dev_file_info` is allocated (as well as a `struct comedi_device`) by `comedi_alloc_board_minor()`. A pointer to the hardware `struct device` is stored as a cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info`. When the low-level comedi driver auto-unconfigures the device, `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses the cookie to find the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` so it can detach the comedi device from the driver, clean it up and free it. A problem arises if the user manually unconfigures and reconfigures the comedi device using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl so that is no longer associated with the original hardware device. The problem is that the cookie is not cleared, so that a call to `comedi_auto_unconfig()` from the low-level driver will still find it, detach it, clean it up and free it. Stop this problem occurring by always clearing the `hardware_device` cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` whenever the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl call is successful.

commit 41b645c8 upstream. Cold reset on the pxa27x currently fails and pxa2xx_ac97_try_cold_reset: cold reset timeout (GSR=0x44) appears in the kernel log. Through trial-and-error (the pxa270 developer's manual is mostly incoherent on the topic of ac97 reset), I got cold reset to complete by setting the WARM_RST bit in the GCR register (and later noticed that pxa3xx does this for cold reset as well). Also, a timeout loop is needed to wait for the reset to complete. Tested on a palm treo 680 machine.

commit 128dd175 upstream. EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback. We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper(). This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both) will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.

Greg Rose authored
commit 115c9b81 upstream. Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

commit c7ac8679 upstream. The message size allocated for rtnl ifinfo dumps was limited to a single page. This is not enough for additional interface info available with devices that support SR-IOV and caused a bug in which VF info would not be displayed if more than approximately 40 VFs were created per interface. Implement a new function pointer for the rtnl_register service that will calculate the amount of data required for the ifinfo dump and allocate enough data to satisfy the request.

commit 2bbf0a14 upstream. The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache. This patch disables it on the affected CPUs. The issue is similar to that one of last year: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another quirk for newer CPUs. The performance penalty without the patch depends on the circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%. The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same physical page under different virtual addresses, so different processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both cores of the same compute unit. More details can be found here: http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver. That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera). The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2, A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the range of model ids.

commit 1f1d06c3 upstream. On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill. Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

commit 0a41409c upstream, but doesn't apply, so this version is different for older kernels than 3.7.x blk_alloc_queue has already done a bdi_init, so do not bdi_init again in aoeblk_gdalloc. The extra call causes list corruption in the per-CPU backing dev info stats lists. Affected users see console WARNINGs about list_del corruption on percpu_counter_destroy when doing "rmmod aoe" or "aoeflush -a" when AoE targets have been detected and initialized by the system. The patch below applies to v3.6.11, with its v47 aoe driver. It is expected to apply to all currently maintained stable kernels except 3.7.y. A related but different fix has been posted for 3.7.y.

commit 721e3eba upstream. Commit c278531d added a warning when ext4_flush_unwritten_io() is called without i_mutex being taken. It had previously not been taken during orphan cleanup since races weren't possible at that point in the mount process, but as a result of this c278531d, we will now see a kernel WARN_ON in this case.

commit d096ad0f upstream. When a journal-less ext4 filesystem is mounted on a read-only block device (blockdev --setro will do), each remount (for other, unrelated, flags, like suid=>nosuid etc) results in a series of scary messages from kernel telling about I/O errors on the device. This is becauese of the following code ext4_remount(): if (sbi->s_journal == NULL) ext4_commit_super(sb, 1); at the end of remount procedure, which forces writing (flushing) of a superblock regardless whenever it is dirty or not, if the filesystem is readonly or not, and whenever the device itself is readonly or not. We only need call ext4_commit_super when the file system had been previously mounted read/write. Thanks to Eric Sandeen for help in diagnosing this issue.

commit e910d7eb upstream. Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer from userspace. The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence: 1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params(); 2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp"; 3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole userspace buffer there; 4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole buffer into the pointer "param"; 5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it in the variable "input_param_size"; 6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the kernel buffer. The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it. This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory. The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4. This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

commit 9366c1ba upstream. The function rb_check_pages() was added to make sure the ring buffer's pages were sane. This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file), as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity check. The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it. If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading the file. The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer. By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from happening. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
