[ Upstream commit 5ebc7846 ] Since the mdb add/del code was introduced there have been 2 br_mdb_notify calls when doing br_mdb_add() resulting in 2 notifications on each add. Example: Command: bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent Before patch: root@debian:~# bridge monitor all [MDB]dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent [MDB]dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent After patch: root@debian:~# bridge monitor all [MDB]dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Fixes: cfd56754 ("bridge: add support of adding and deleting mdb entries") Signed-off-by: David S.

[ Upstream commit a0a2a660 ] The commit 738ac1eb ("net: Clone skb before setting peeked flag") introduced a use-after-free bug in skb_recv_datagram. This is because skb_set_peeked may create a new skb and free the existing one. As it stands the caller will continue to use the old freed skb. This patch fixes it by making skb_set_peeked return the new skb (or the old one if unchanged).

[ Upstream commit 89c22d8c ] When we calculate the checksum on the recv path, we store the result in the skb as an optimisation in case we need the checksum again down the line. This is in fact bogus for the MSG_PEEK case as this is done without any locking. So multiple threads can peek and then store the result to the same skb, potentially resulting in bogus skb states. This patch fixes this by only storing the result if the skb is not shared. This preserves the optimisations for the few cases where it can be done safely due to locking or other reasons, e.g., SIOCINQ.

[ Upstream commit 738ac1eb ] Shared skbs must not be modified and this is crucial for broadcast and/or multicast paths where we use it as an optimisation to avoid unnecessary cloning. The function skb_recv_datagram breaks this rule by setting peeked without cloning the skb first. This causes funky races which leads to double-free. This patch fixes this by cloning the skb and replacing the skb in the list when setting skb->peeked.

[ Upstream commit e9e4dd32 ] commit 381c759d ("ipv4: Avoid crashing in ip_error") fixes a problem where processed packet comes from device with destroyed inetdev (dev->ip_ptr). This is not expected because inetdev_destroy is called in NETDEV_UNREGISTER phase and packets should not be processed after dev_close_many() and synchronize_net(). Above fix is still required because inetdev_destroy can be called for other reasons. But it shows the real problem: backlog can keep packets for long time and they do not hold reference to device. Such packets are then delivered to upper levels at the same time when device is unregistered. Calling flush_backlog after NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL still accounts all packets from backlog but before that some packets continue to be delivered to upper levels long after the synchronize_net call which is supposed to wait the last ones. Also, as Eric pointed out, processed packets, mostly from other devices, can continue to add new packets to backlog. Fix the problem by moving flush_backlog early, after the device driver is stopped and before the synchronize_net() call. Then use netif_running check to make sure we do not add more packets to backlog. We have to do it in enqueue_to_backlog context when the local IRQ is disabled. As result, after the flush_backlog and synchronize_net sequence all packets should be accounted. Thanks to Eric W. Biederman for the test script and his valuable feedback!

[ Upstream commit f1158b74 ] Since commit b0e9a30d ("bridge: Add vlan id to multicast groups") there's a check in br_ip_equal() for a matching vlan id, but the mdb functions were not modified to use (or at least zero it) so when an entry was added it would have a garbage vlan id (from the local br_ip variable in __br_mdb_add/del) and this would prevent it from being matched and also deleted. So zero out the whole local ip var to protect ourselves from future changes and also to fix the current bug, since there's no vlan id support in the mdb uapi - use always vlan id 0. Example before patch: root@debian:~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent root@debian:~# bridge mdb dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent root@debian:~# bridge mdb del dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument After patch: root@debian:~# bridge mdb add dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent root@debian:~# bridge mdb dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent root@debian:~# bridge mdb del dev br0 port eth1 grp 239.0.0.1 permanent root@debian:~# bridge mdb Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <razor@blackwall.org> Fixes: b0e9a30d ("bridge: Add vlan id to multicast groups") Signed-off-by: David S.

[ Upstream commit fc24f2b2 ] Frag needed should be sent only if the inner header asked to not fragment. Currently fragmentation is broken if the tunnel has df set, but df was not asked in the original packet. The tunnel's df needs to be still checked to update internally the pmtu cache. Commit 23a3647b broke it, and this commit fixes the ipv4 df check back to the way it was. Fixes: 23a3647b ("ip_tunnels: Use skb-len to PMTU check.")

[ Upstream commit 4f7d2cdf ] Jason Gunthorpe reported that since commit c02db8c6 ("rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric"), we don't verify IFLA_VF_INFO attributes anymore with respect to their policy, that is, ifla_vfinfo_policy[]. Before, they were part of ifla_policy[], but they have been nested since placed under IFLA_VFINFO_LIST, that contains the attribute IFLA_VF_INFO, which is another nested attribute for the actual VF attributes such as IFLA_VF_MAC, IFLA_VF_VLAN, etc. Despite the policy being split out from ifla_policy[] in this commit, it's never applied anywhere. nla_for_each_nested() only does basic nla_ok() testing for struct nlattr, but it doesn't know about the data context and their requirements. Fix, on top of Jason's initial work, does 1) parsing of the attributes with the right policy, and 2) using the resulting parsed attribute table from 1) instead of the nla_for_each_nested() loop (just like we used to do when still part of ifla_policy[]).

commit 1abf25a2 upstream. Using -1 as platform device id means that the platform driver core will not assign any id to the device (the device name will not have id at all). This results problems on systems that have multiple PCHs (Platform Controller HUBs) because all of them also include their own copy of LPC device. All the subsequent device creations will fail because there already exists platform device with the same name. Fix this by passing PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO as platform device id. This makes the platform device core to allocate new ids automatically.

commit 2761713d upstream. For write/discard obj_requests that involved a copyup method call, the opcode of the first op is CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL and the ->callback is rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback(). The latter frees copyup pages, sets ->xferred and delegates to rbd_img_obj_callback(), the "normal" image object callback, for reporting to block layer and putting refs. rbd_osd_req_callback() however treats CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL as a trivial op, which means obj_request is marked done in rbd_osd_trivial_callback(), *before* ->callback is invoked and rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() has a chance to run. Marking obj_request done essentially means giving rbd_img_obj_callback() a license to end it at any moment, so if another obj_request from the same img_request is being completed concurrently, rbd_img_obj_end_request() may very well be called on such prematurally marked done request: <obj_request-1/2 reply> handle_reply() rbd_osd_req_callback() rbd_osd_trivial_callback() rbd_obj_request_complete() rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() rbd_img_obj_callback() <obj_request-2/2 reply> handle_reply() rbd_osd_req_callback() rbd_osd_trivial_callback() for_each_obj_request(obj_request->img_request) { rbd_img_obj_end_request(obj_request-1/2) rbd_img_obj_end_request(obj_request-2/2) <-- } Calling rbd_img_obj_end_request() on such a request leads to trouble, in particular because its ->xfferred is 0. We report 0 to the block layer with blk_update_request(), get back 1 for "this request has more data in flight" and then trip on rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request->obj_request_count)); with rhs (which == ...) being 1 because rbd_img_obj_end_request() has been called for both requests and lhs (more) being 1 because we haven't got a chance to set ->xfferred in rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() yet. To fix this, leverage that rbd wants to call class methods in only two cases: one is a generic method call wrapper (obj_request is standalone) and the other is a copyup (obj_request is part of an img_request). So make a dedicated handler for CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL and directly invoke rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() from it if obj_request is part of an img_request, similar to how CEPH_OSD_OP_READ handler invokes rbd_img_obj_request_read_callback(). Since rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() is now being called from the OSD request callback (only), it is renamed to rbd_osd_copyup_callback().

commit fed66e2c upstream. Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for inherited events. So fix that. Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC, which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is freed and state is updated. Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use the parent's fasync, as that will be updated.

commit 602b8593 upstream. The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same semaphore set). For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following in the kernel log: Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-64 start=ffff88003b45c1c0, len=64 000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkk.kkkkkkk 010: ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....kkkk........

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary, while freeary sets un->semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

commit 3ed1f8a9 upstream. sem_lock() did not properly pair memory barriers: !spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() are both only control barriers. The code needs an acquire barrier, otherwise the cpu might perform read operations before the lock test. As no primitive exists inside <include/spinlock.h> and since it seems noone wants another primitive, the code creates a local primitive within ipc/sem.c. With regards to -stable: The change of sem_wait_array() is a bugfix, the change to sem_lock() is a nop (just a preprocessor redefinition to improve the readability). The bugfix is necessary for all kernels that use sem_wait_array() (i.e.: starting from 3.10).

The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384e ("memcg: prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs was specified. The code has been changed by c3b94f44 ("memcg: further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the __GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs code. But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away. ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily submit the bio. Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes. Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2) before we go to wait on the writeback. The page fault path, which is the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic. As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem. Moreover he notes: : For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion : which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The : writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten : extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on : page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not : safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.

commit b97e9257 upstream Use separate bitmaps for each nodes in the cluster bitmap_read_sb() validates the bitmap superblock that it reads in. If it finds an inconsistency like a bad magic number or out-of-range version number, it prints an error and returns, but it incorrectly returns zero, so the array is still assembled with the (invalid) bitmap. This means it could try to use a bitmap with a new version number which it therefore does not understand. This bug was introduced in 3.5 and fix as part of a larger patch in 4.1. So the patch is suitable for any -stable kernel in that range. Fixes: 27581e5a ("md/bitmap: centralise allocation of bitmap file pages.")

commit 3c00cb5e upstream. This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a positive si_code value. The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_to_user. copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits of si_code. This fixes the following information leaks: x86: 8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32. (si_code = __SI_CHLD) x86: 100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1) sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = any) parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code to a different process. These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

commit 37868fe1 upstream. modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize threads. Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications. This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

commit 0a04b016 upstream. I want to use lockless_dereference() from seqlock.h, which would mean including rcupdate.h from it, however rcupdate.h already includes seqlock.h. Avoid this by moving lockless_dereference() into compiler.h. This is somewhat tricky since it uses smp_read_barrier_depends() which isn't available there, but its a CPP macro so we can get away with it. The alternative would be moving it into asm/barrier.h, but that would be updating each arch (I can do if people feel that is more appropriate).

Although rcu_dereference() and friends can be used in situations where object lifetimes are being managed by something other than RCU, the resulting sparse and lockdep-RCU noise can be annoying. This commit therefore supplies a lockless_dereference(), which provides the protection for dereferences without the RCU-related debugging noise.

commit 47933ad4 upstream. A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(), even though there is no need to order prior stores against later loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way to make use of them. This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release() primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional expense on most architectures. In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code might be so replaced. [Changelog by PaulMck] Reviewed-by: "Paul E.

commit 9b6e6a83 upstream. Returning to userspace is tricky: IRET can fail, and ESPFIX can rearrange the stack prior to IRET. The NMI nesting fixup relies on a precise stack layout and atomic IRET. Rather than trying to teach the NMI nesting fixup to handle ESPFIX and failed IRET, punt: run NMIs that came from user mode on the normal kernel stack. This will make some nested NMIs visible to C code, but the C code is okay with that. As a side effect, this should speed up perf: it eliminates an RDMSR when NMIs come from user mode.
