2009-06-11sparc64: Fix lost interrupts on sun4u.David S. Miller
[ Upstream commit d0cac39e4ec8097e4c7099d291b1fdcc0fe56b58 ] Based upon a report by Meelis Roos. Sparc64 SBUS and PCI controllers use a combination of IMAP and ICLR registers to manage device interrupts. The IMAP register contains the "valid" enable bit as well as CPU targetting information. Whereas the ICLR register is written with zero at the end of handling an interrupt to reset the state machine for that interrupt to IDLE so it can be sent again. For PCI slot and SBUS slot devices we can have multiple interrupts sharing the same IMAP register. There are individual ICLR registers but only one IMAP register for managing those. We represent each shared case with individual virtual IRQs so the generic IRQ layer thinks there is only one user of the IRQ instance. In such shared IMAP cases this is wrong, so if there are multiple active users then a free_irq() call will prematurely turn off the interrupt by clearing the Valid bit in the IMAP register even though there are other active users. Fix this by simply doing nothing in sun4u_disable_irq() and checking IRQF_DISABLED during IRQ dispatch. This situation doesn't exist in the hypervisor sun4v cases, so I left those alone.

2009-06-11sparc64: Fix crash with /proc/iomemMikulas Patocka
[ Upstream commit 192d7a4667c6d11d1a174ec4cad9a3c5d5f9043c ] When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type "cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct resource are uninitialized. Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it, not the responsibility of request_resource functuion. After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-06-11sparc: Fix bus type probing for ESP and LE devices.David S. Miller
If there is a dummy "espdma" or "ledma" parent device above ESP scsi or LE ethernet device nodes, we have to match the bus as SBUS. Otherwise the address and size cell counts are wrong and we don't calculate the final physical device resource values correctly at all. Commit 5280267c1dddb8d413595b87dc406624bb497946 ("sparc: Fix handling of LANCE and ESP parent nodes in of_device.c") was meant to fix this problem, but that only influences the inner loop of build_device_resources(). We need this logic to also kick in at the beginning of build_device_resources() as well, when we make the first attempt to determine the device's immediate parent bus type for 'reg' property element extraction.

2009-06-11TPM: get_event_name stack corruptionEric Paris
commit fbaa58696cef848de818768783ef185bd3f05158 upstream. get_event_name uses sprintf to fill a buffer declared on the stack. It fills the buffer 2 bytes at a time. What the code doesn't take into account is that sprintf(buf, "%02x", data) actually writes 3 bytes. 2 bytes for the data and then it nul terminates the string. Since we declare buf to be 40 characters long and then we write 40 bytes of data into buf sprintf is going to write 41 characters. The fix is to leave room in buf for the nul terminator.

commit b3c2d2ddd63944ef2a1e4a43077b602288107e01 upstream. Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions: splice_from_pipe_begin() splice_from_pipe_next() splice_from_pipe_feed() splice_from_pipe_end() splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to be added to the pipe. splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available (or if all of the requested data has been copied). This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed(). This patch should not cause any change in behavior.

2009-05-19cifs: Fix unicode string area word alignment in session setupJeff Layton
commit 27b87fe52baba0a55e9723030e76fce94fabcea4 refreshed. cifs: fix unicode string area word alignment in session setup The handling of unicode string area alignment is wrong. decode_unicode_ssetup improperly assumes that it will always be preceded by a pad byte. This isn't the case if the string area is already word-aligned. This problem, combined with the bad buffer sizing for the serverDomain string can cause memory corruption. The bad alignment can make it so that the alignment of the characters is off. This can make them translate to characters that are greater than 2 bytes each. If this happens we can overflow the allocation. Fix this by fixing the alignment in CIFS_SessSetup instead so we can verify it against the head of the response. Also, clean up the workaround for improperly terminated strings by checking for a odd-length unicode buffers and then forcibly terminating them. Finally, resize the buffer for serverDomain. Now that we've fixed the alignment, it's probably fine, but a malicious server could overflow it. A better solution for handling these strings is still needed, but this should be a suitable bandaid.

commit b827e496c893de0c0f142abfaeb8730a2fd6b37f upstream mm: close page_mkwrite races Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM. Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock. The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according to existing page_mkwrite convention). In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no longer dirty. It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example. And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail. This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty) closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong synchronisation against the VM here. - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem. - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913). - I need it for fsblock. - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs). - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot be fixed properly without this patch). - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their page_mkwrite functions themselves. [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix derefs of NULL ->mapping] Cc: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-05-19fs: fix page_mkwrite error cases in core code and btrfsNick Piggin
commit 56a76f8275c379ed73c8a43cfa1dfa2f5e9cfa19 upstream fs: fix page_mkwrite error cases in core code and btrfs page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held. This means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from underneath it. Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves, however previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to raise a SIGBUS. A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been invalidated or truncated within i_size (eg. hole punched). Callers may also have to perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS would be wrong. The previous patch ("mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault") made it possible to properly specify errors. Convert the generic buffer.c code and btrfs to return sane error values (in the case of page removed from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the fault handler to exit without doing anything, and the fault will be retried properly). This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example. All other filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar manner.

There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

2009-05-19i2c-algo-pca: Let PCA9564 recover from unacked data byte (state 0x30)Enrik Berkhan
commit 2196d1cf4afab93fb64c2e5b417096e49b661612 upstream Currently, the i2c-algo-pca driver does nothing if the chip enters state 0x30 (Data byte in I2CDAT has been transmitted; NOT ACK has been received). Thus, the i2c bus connected to the controller gets stuck afterwards. I have seen this kind of error on a custom board in certain load situations most probably caused by interference or noise. A possible reaction is to let the controller generate a STOP condition. This is documented in the PCA9564 data sheet (2006-09-01) and the same is done for other NACK states as well. Further, state 0x38 isn't handled completely, either. Try to do another START in this case like the data sheet says. As this couldn't be tested, I've added a comment to try to reset the chip if the START doesn't help as suggested by Wolfram Sang.

2009-05-19md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.NeilBrown
commit 5bf295975416f8e97117bbbcfb0191c00bc3e2b4 upstream. Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient. It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing 'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean' until the first write. It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active'). Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the active array as clean at the same time as another program writes 'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately reactivated which isn't what was desired. So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array. This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

2009-05-19md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded.NeilBrown
commit 18055569127253755d01733f6ecc004ed02f88d0 upstream. If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't complete (because a device is still missing). This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without any IO happening, which would result in loss of data. This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits if the array will still be degraded. This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

commit b74fd2826c5acce20e6f691437b2d19372bc2057 upstream. When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this can sometimes fail. Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call to write_page. This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the data inaccessible.

These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan. ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation (http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well.

commit 93af7aca44f0e82e67bda10a0fb73d383edcc8bd upstream. On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value. This can under heavy traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured. Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

commit 74a03b69d1b5ce00a568e142ca97e76b7f5239c6 upstream. tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource. Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available. Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops forever.

2009-05-08USB: serial: fix lifetime and locking problemsAlan Stern
This is commit 2d93148ab6988cad872e65d694c95e8944e1b626 back-ported to 2.6.27. This patch (as1229-1) fixes a few lifetime and locking problems in the usb-serial driver. The main symptom is that an invalid kevent is created when the serial device is unplugged while a connection is active. Ports should be unregistered when device is disconnected, not when the parent usb_serial structure is deallocated. Each open file should hold a reference to the corresponding port structure, and the reference should be released when the file is closed. serial->disc_mutex should be acquired in serial_open(), to resolve the classic race between open and disconnect. serial_close() doesn't need to hold both serial->disc_mutex and port->mutex at the same time. Release the subdriver's module reference only after releasing all the other references, in case one of the release routines needs to invoke some code in the subdriver module. Replace a call to flush_scheduled_work() (which is prone to deadlocks) with cancel_work_sync(). Also, add a call to cancel_work_sync() in the disconnect routine. Reduce the scope of serial->disc_mutex in serial_disconnect(). The only place it really needs to protect is where the "disconnected" flag is set. Call the shutdown method from within serial_disconnect() instead of destroy_serial(), because some subdrivers expect the port data structures still to be in existence when their shutdown method runs.
