      vfs: dcache: fix deadlock in tree traversal · 8110e16d
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent().  This was found to be caused
      by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree
      traversal.
      
      There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted:
      
       1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked,
          since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move().
      
       2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending
          to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it
          can happen when already locked.
      
      Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal
      when rename_lock is already held.  This patch fixes all three callers of
      try_to_ascend().
      
      IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch.
      
      [ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the
        lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work.

      mtdchar: fix offset overflow detection · 9c603e53
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Sasha Levin has been running trinity in a KVM tools guest, and was able
      to trigger the BUG_ON() at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:279 (verifying the range of
      the memory type).  The call trace showed that it was mtdchar_mmap() that
      created an invalid remap_pfn_range().
      
      The problem is that mtdchar_mmap() does various really odd and subtle
      things with the vma page offset etc, and uses the wrong types (and the
      wrong overflow) detection for it.
      
      For example, the page offset may well be 32-bit on a 32-bit
      architecture, but after shifting it up by PAGE_SHIFT, we need to use a
      potentially 64-bit resource_size_t to correctly hold the full value.
      
      Also, we need to check that the vma length plus offset doesn't overflow
      before we check that it is smaller than the length of the mtdmap region.
      
      This fixes things up and tries to make the code a bit easier to read.
