commit ed1e6211 upstream. nfs_mark_return_delegation() is usually called without any locking, and so it is not safe to dereference delegation->inode. Since the inode is only used to discover the nfs_client anyway, it makes more sense to have the callers pass a valid pointer to the nfs_server as a parameter. Reported-by:

commit ebc63e53 upstream. After commit 3262c816 "[PATCH] knfsd: split svc_serv into pools", svc_delete_xprt (then svc_delete_socket) no longer removed its xpt_ready (then sk_ready) field from whatever list it was on, noting that there was no point since the whole list was about to be destroyed anyway. That was mostly true, but forgot that a few svc_xprt_enqueue()'s might still be hanging around playing with the about-to-be-destroyed list, and could get themselves into trouble writing to freed memory if we left this xprt on the list after freeing it. (This is actually functionally identical to a patch made first by Ben Greear, but with more comments.) Cc: gnb@fmeh.org Reported-by:

commit f197c271 upstream. Stateid's hold a read reference for a read open, a write reference for a write open, and an additional one of each for each read+write open. The latter wasn't getting put on a downgrade, so something like: open RW open R downgrade to R was resulting in a file leak. Also fix an imbalance in an error path.

commit 0c12eaff upstream. CLAIM_DELEGATE_CUR is used in response to a broken lease; allowing it to break the lease and return EAGAIN leaves the client unable to make progress in returning the delegation nfs4_get_vfs_file() now takes struct nfsd4_open for access to the claim type, and calls nfsd_open() with NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE when claim type is CLAIM_DELEGATE_CUR Signed-off-by:

commit b2987a5e upstream. Fixes a regression caused by b5695d04 Kernel keyring keys containing eCryptfs authentication tokens should not be write locked when calling out to ecryptfsd to wrap and unwrap file encryption keys. The eCryptfs kernel code can not hold the key's write lock because ecryptfsd needs to request the key after receiving such a request from the kernel. Without this fix, all file opens and creates will timeout and fail when using the eCryptfs PKI infrastructure. This is not an issue when using passphrase-based mount keys, which is the most widely deployed eCryptfs configuration. Signed-off-by:

commit ad95c5e9 upstream. Block allocation is called from two places: ext3_get_blocks_handle() and ext3_xattr_block_set(). These two callers are not necessarily synchronized because xattr code holds only xattr_sem and i_mutex, and ext3_get_blocks_handle() may hold only truncate_mutex when called from writepage() path. Block reservation code does not expect two concurrent allocations to happen to the same inode and thus assertions can be triggered or reservation structure corruption can occur. Fix the problem by taking truncate_mutex in xattr code to serialize allocations. CC: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Reported-by:

commit 575a1d4b upstream. Upon corrupted inode or disk failures, we may fail after we already allocate some blocks from the inode or take some blocks from the inode's preallocation list, but before we successfully insert the corresponding extent to the extent tree. In this case, we should free any allocated blocks and discard the inode's preallocated blocks because the entries in the inode's preallocation list may be in an inconsistent state. Signed-off-by:

commit 7132de74 upstream. The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and i_blocks some time ago. However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet: 1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota 2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks() 3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g. ENOSPC) from ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks(). In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like: > Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128. Fix<y>? because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above. The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped. Signed-off-by:

commit 2efaca92 upstream. I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE, you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell. It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to "fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access, failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc... So I think you essentially hang in the kernel. The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable mapping & fork or something like that. On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the PTE. Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor. The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can "fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to taking the fault. However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE. Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be required by some architectures in the fault case. Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault() since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault. The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using get_user_pages(). This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will not be updated by gup(). In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as well. I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() which the futex code can call.

commit 703f03c8 upstream. As stated in drivers/mfd/cs5535-mfd.c, the mfd driver exposes the BARs which then make the GPIO, MFGPT, ACPI, etc. all visible to the system. So the dependencies of the MFGPT stuff have changed, and most people expect Kconfig to bring in the necessary dependencies. Without them, the module fails to load and most people don't understand why because the details of the rewrite aren't captured anywhere most people who know to look. This dependency needs to be reflected in Kconfig. Signed-off-by:

commit 864d296c upstream. The function pci_enable_ari() may mistakenly set the downstream port of a v1 PCIe switch in ARI Forwarding mode. This is a PCIe v2 feature, and with an SR-IOV device on that switch port believing the switch above is ARI capable it may attempt to use functions 8-255, translating into invalid (non-zero) device numbers for that bus. This has been seen to cause Completion Timeouts and general misbehaviour including hangs and panics. Acked-by:

commit 40ee4dff upstream. The "enable" file for the event system can be removed when a module is unloaded and the event system only has events from that module. As the event system nr_events count goes to zero, it may be freed if its ref_count is also set to zero. Like the "filter" file, the "enable" file may be opened by a task and referenced later, after a module has been unloaded and the events for that event system have been removed. Although the "filter" file referenced the event system structure, the "enable" file only references a pointer to the event system name. Since the name is freed when the event system is removed, it is possible that an access to the "enable" file may reference a freed pointer. Update the "enable" file to use the subsystem_open() routine that the "filter" file uses, to keep a reference to the event system structure while the "enable" file is opened. Reported-by:

commit e9dbfae5 upstream. The event system is freed when its nr_events is set to zero. This happens when a module created an event system and then later the module is removed. Modules may share systems, so the system is allocated when it is created and freed when the modules are unloaded and all the events under the system are removed (nr_events set to zero). The problem arises when a task opened the "filter" file for the system. If the module is unloaded and it removed the last event for that system, the system structure is freed. If the task that opened the filter file accesses the "filter" file after the system has been freed, the system will access an invalid pointer. By adding a ref_count, and using it to keep track of what is using the event system, we can free it after all users are finished with the event system. Reported-by:

commit b5b51544 upstream. There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering the OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages. First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl(), with a type PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. This calls through to pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough(). Next, a pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit signed value provided by the user. If a negative value is provided here, bad things can happen. For example, pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this request_size, which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a negative size. The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can result in an overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the sglist will be smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly large the subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high number of pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked. It looks like preventing this value from being negative in pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough() would be sufficient. Signed-off-by:

commit bfe159a5 upstream. USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD followed by attempted unmount. The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be sent to a dead queue. Signed-off-by:
