bonding: IFF_BONDING is not stripped on enslave failure

2013-05-01T16:41:07Z

[ Upstream commit b6a5a7b9a528a8b4c8bec940b607c5dd9102b8cc ] While enslaving a new device and after IFF_BONDING flag is set, in case of failure it is not stripped from the device's priv_flags while cleaning up, which could lead to other problems. Cleaning at err_close because the flag is set after dev_open(). v2: no change Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bonding: fix bonding_masters race condition in bond unloading

2013-05-01T16:41:06Z

[ Upstream commit 69b0216ac255f523556fa3d4ff030d857eaaa37f ] While the bonding module is unloading, it is considered that after rtnl_link_unregister all bond devices are destroyed but since no synchronization mechanism exists, a new bond device can be created via bonding_masters before unregister_pernet_subsys which would lead to multiple problems (e.g. NULL pointer dereference, wrong RIP, list corruption). This patch fixes the issue by removing any bond devices left in the netns after bonding_masters is removed from sysfs.

TTY: fix atime/mtime regression

2013-05-01T16:41:03Z

commit 37b7f3c76595e23257f61bd80b223de8658617ee upstream. In commit b0de59b5733d ("TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write") we removed timestamps from tty inodes to fix a security issue and waited if something breaks. Well, 'w', the utility to find out logged users and their inactivity time broke. It shows that users are inactive since the time they logged in. To revert to the old behaviour while still preventing attackers to guess the password length, we update the timestamps in one-minute intervals by this patch.

TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write

2013-05-01T16:41:03Z

commit b0de59b5733d18b0d1974a060860a8b5c1b36a2e upstream. On http://vladz.devzero.fr/013_ptmx-timing.php, we can see how to find out length of a password using timestamps of /dev/ptmx. It is documented in "Timing Analysis of Keystrokes and Timing Attacks on SSH". To avoid that problem, do not update time when reading from/writing to a TTY. I am afraid of regressions as this is a behavior we have since 0.97 and apps may expect the time to be current, e.g. for monitoring whether there was a change on the TTY. Now, there is no change. So this would better have a lot of testing before it goes upstream. References: CVE-2013-0160 Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vm: convert mtdchar mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:19:56Z

commit 8558e4a26b00225efeb085725bc319f91201b239 upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The mtdchar case is actually disabled right now (and stays disabled), but I did it because it showed up on my "git grep", and I was familiar with the code due to fixing an overflow problem in the code in commit 9c603e53d380 ("mtdchar: fix offset overflow detection").

vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:19:56Z

commit 2323036dfec8ce3ce6e1c86a49a31b039f3300d1 upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The HPET case is simple, widely available, and easy to test (Clemens Ladisch sent a trivial test-program for it).

vm: convert fb_mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

2013-04-26T04:19:56Z

commit fc9bbca8f650e5f738af8806317c0a041a48ae4a upstream. This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users. The fb_mmap() case is a good example because it is a bit more complicated than some: fb_mmap() mmaps one of two different memory areas depending on the page offset of the mmap (but happily there is never any mixing of the two, so the helper function still works).

fbcon: fix locking harder

2013-04-26T04:19:56Z

commit 054430e773c9a1e26f38e30156eff02dedfffc17 upstream. Okay so Alan's patch handled the case where there was no registered fbcon, however the other path entered in set_con2fb_map pit. In there we called fbcon_takeover, but we also took the console lock in a couple of places. So push the console lock out to the callers of set_con2fb_map, this means fbmem and switcheroo needed to take the lock around the fb notifier entry points that lead to this. This should fix the efifb regression seen by Maarten. Tested-by: Maarten Lankhorst Tested-by: Lu Hua Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ssb: implement spurious tone avoidance

commit 46fc4c909339f5a84d1679045297d9d2fb596987 upstream. And make use of it in b43. This fixes a regression introduced with 49d55cef5b1925a5c1efb6aaddaa40fc7c693335 b43: N-PHY: implement spurious tone avoidance This commit made BCM4322 use only MCS 0 on channel 13, which of course resulted in performance drop (down to 0.7Mb/s).
