Jordy Zomer reported a KASAN out-of-bounds read in the floppy driver in wait_til_ready(). Which on the face of it can't happen, since as Willy Tarreau points out, the function does no particular memory access. Except through the FDCS macro, which just indexes a static allocation through teh current fdc, which is always checked against N_FDC. Except the checking happens after we've already assigned the value. The floppy driver is a disgrace (a lot of it going back to my original horrd "design"), and has no real maintainer. Nobody has the hardware, and nobody really cares. But it still gets used in virtual environment because it's one of those things that everybody supports. The whole thing should be re-written, or at least parts of it should be seriously cleaned up. The 'current fdc' index, which is used by the FDCS macro, and which is often shadowed by a local 'fdc' variable, is a prime example of how not to write code. But because nobody has the hardware or the motivation, let's just fix up the immediate problem with a nasty band-aid: test the fdc index before actually assigning it to the static 'fdc' variable.

Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba: "These are fixes that were found during testing with help of error injection, plus some other stable material. There's a fixup to patch added to rc1 causing locking in wrong context warnings, tests found one more deadlock scenario. The patches are tagged for stable, two of them now in the queue but we'd like all three released at the same time. I'm not happy about fixes to fixes in such a fast succession during rcs, but I hope we found all the fallouts of commit 28553fa9 ('Btrfs: fix race between shrinking truncate and fiemap')" * tag 'for-5.6-rc2-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: Btrfs: fix deadlock during fast fsync when logging prealloc extents beyond eof Btrfs: fix btrfs_wait_ordered_range() so that it waits for all ordered extents btrfs: fix bytes_may_use underflow in prealloc error condtition btrfs: handle logged extent failure properly btrfs: do not check delayed items are empty for single transaction cleanup btrfs: reset fs_root to NULL on error in open_ctree btrfs: destroy qgroup extent records on transaction abort

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Two fixes for the irq core code which are follow ups to the recent MSI fixes: - The WARN_ON which was put into the MSI setaffinity callback for paranoia reasons actually triggered via a callchain which escaped when all the possible ways to reach that code were analyzed. The proc/irq/$N/*affinity interfaces have a quirk which came in when ALPHA moved to the generic interface: In case that the written affinity mask does not contain any online CPU it calls into ALPHAs magic auto affinity setting code. A few years later this mechanism was also made available to x86 for no good reasons and in a way which circumvents all sanity checks for interrupts which cannot have their affinity set from process context on X86 due to the way the X86 interrupt delivery works. It would be possible to make this work properly, but there is no point in doing so. If the interrupt is not yet started then the affinity setting has no effect and if it is started already then it is already assigned to an online CPU so there is no point to randomly move it to some other CPU. Just return EINVAL as the code has done before that change forever. - The new MSI quirk bit in the irq domain flags turned out to be already occupied, which escaped the author and the reviewers because the already in use bits were 0,6,2,3,4,5 listed in that order. That bit 6 was simply overlooked because the ordering was straight forward linear otherwise. So the new bit ended up being a duplicate. Fix it up by switching the oddball 6 to the obvious 1" * tag 'irq-urgent-2020-02-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: genirq/irqdomain: Make sure all irq domain flags are distinct genirq/proc: Reject invalid affinity masks (again)

Since commit a3a0e43f ("io_uring: don't enter poll loop if we have CQEs pending"), if we already events pending, we won't enter poll loop. In case SETUP_IOPOLL and SETUP_SQPOLL are both enabled, if app has been terminated and don't reap pending events which are already in cq ring, and there are some reqs in poll_list, io_sq_thread will enter __io_iopoll_check(), and find pending events, then return, this loop will never have a chance to exit. I have seen this issue in fio stress tests, to fix this issue, let io_sq_thread call io_iopoll_getevents() with argument 'min' being zero, and remove __io_iopoll_check().

I found a NULL pointer dereference in ocfs2_block_group_clear_bits(). The running environment: kernel version: 4.19 A cluster with two nodes, 5 luns mounted on two nodes, and do some file operations like dd/fallocate/truncate/rm on every lun with storage network disconnection. The fallocate operation on dm-23-45 caused an null pointer dereference.

If EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is set on an inode while ext4_writepages() is running on it, the following warning in ext4_add_complete_io() can be hit: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at fs/ext4/page-io.c:234 ext4_put_io_end_defer+0xf0/0x120 Here's a minimal reproducer (not 100% reliable) (root isn't required): while true; do sync done & while true; do rm -f file touch file chattr -e file echo X >> file chattr +e file done The problem is that in ext4_writepages(), ext4_should_dioread_nolock() (which only returns true on extent-based files) is checked once to set the number of reserved journal credits, and also again later to select the flags for ext4_map_blocks() and copy the reserved journal handle to ext4_io_end::handle. But if EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is being concurrently set, the first check can see dioread_nolock disabled while the later one can see it enabled, causing the reserved handle to unexpectedly be NULL. Since changing EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is uncommon, and there may be other races related to doing so as well, fix this by synchronizing changing EXT4_EXTENTS_FL with ext4_writepages() via the existing s_writepages_rwsem (previously called s_journal_flag_rwsem). This was originally reported by syzbot without a reproducer at https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2202a584a00fffd19fbf, but now that dioread_nolock is the default I also started seeing this when running syzkaller locally.

During an online resize an array of s_flex_groups structures gets replaced so it can get enlarged. If there is a concurrent access to the array and this memory has been reused then this can lead to an invalid memory access. The s_flex_group array has been converted into an array of pointers rather than an array of structures. This is to ensure that the information contained in the structures cannot get out of sync during a resize due to an accessor updating the value in the old structure after it has been copied but before the array pointer is updated. Since the structures them- selves are no longer copied but only the pointers to them this case is mitigated.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "It's all straightforward apart from the changes to mmap()/mremap() in relation to their handling of address arguments from userspace with non-zero tag bits in the upper byte. The change to brk() is necessary to fix a nasty user-visible regression in malloc(), but we tightened up mmap() and mremap() at the same time because they also allow the user to create virtual aliases by accident. It's much less likely than brk() to matter in practice, but enforcing the principle of "don't permit the creation of mappings using tagged addresses" leads to a straightforward ABI without having to worry about the "but what if a crazy program did foo?" aspect of things.

Commit 68600f62 ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off error") makes the scan size round up to @denominator regardless of the memory cgroup's state, online or offline. This affects the overall reclaiming behavior: the corresponding LRU list is eligible for reclaiming only when its size logically right shifted by @sc->priority is bigger than zero in the former formula. For example, the inactive anonymous LRU list should have at least 0x4000 pages to be eligible for reclaiming when we have 60/12 for swappiness/priority and without taking scan/rotation ratio into account. After the roundup is applied, the inactive anonymous LRU list becomes eligible for reclaiming when its size is bigger than or equal to 0x1000 in the same condition. (0x4000 >> 12) * 60 / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1 ((0x1000 >> 12) * 60) + 200) / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1 aarch64 has 512MB huge page size when the base page size is 64KB. The memory cgroup that has a huge page is always eligible for reclaiming in that case. The reclaiming is likely to stop after the huge page is reclaimed, meaing the further iteration on @sc->priority and the silbing and child memory cgroups will be skipped. The overall behaviour has been changed. This fixes the issue by applying the roundup to offlined memory cgroups only, to give more preference to reclaim memory from offlined memory cgroup. It sounds reasonable as those memory is unlikedly to be used by anyone. The issue was found by starting up 8 VMs on a Ampere Mustang machine, which has 8 CPUs and 16 GB memory. Each VM is given with 2 vCPUs and 2GB memory. It took 264 seconds for all VMs to be completely up and 784MB swap is consumed after that. With this patch applied, it took 236 seconds and 60MB swap to do same thing. So there is 10% performance improvement for my case. Note that KSM is disable while THP is enabled in the testing. total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 16196 10065 2049 16 4081 3749 Swap: 8175 784 7391 total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 16196 11324 3656 24 1215 2936 Swap: 8175 60 8115 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200211024514.8730-1-gshan@redhat.com Fixes: 68600f62 ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off error") Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com> Acked-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [4.20+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There were a few attempts at changing behavior of the match_string() helpers (i.e. 'match_string()' & 'sysfs_match_string()'), to change & extend the behavior according to the doc-string. But the simplest approach is to just fix the doc-strings. The current behavior is fine as-is, and some bugs were introduced trying to fix it. As for extending the behavior, new helpers can always be introduced if needed. The match_string() helpers behave more like 'strncmp()' in the sense that they go up to n elements or until the first NULL element in the array of strings. This change updates the doc-strings with this info.
