2012-10-02vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fstat()'Linus Torvalds
commit 55815f70147dcfa3ead5738fd56d3574e2e3c1c2 upstream. We already use them for openat() and friends, but fstat() also wants to be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it more directly comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris. Note that you could already do the same thing with "fstatat()" and an empty path, but just doing "fstat()" directly is simpler and faster, so there is no reason not to just allow it directly. See also commit 332a2e1244bd, which did the same thing for fchdir, for the same reasons.

2012-10-02cciss: fix handling of protocol errorStephen M. Cameron
commit 2453f5f992717251cfadab6184fbb3ec2f2e8b40 upstream. If a command completes with a status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR, this information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not dropped on the floor. Unlike a similar bug in the hpsa driver, this bug only affects tape drives and CD and DVD ROM drives in the cciss driver, and to induce it, you have to disconnect (or damage) a cable, so it is not a very likely scenario (which would explain why the bug has gone undetected for the last 10 years.)

2012-10-02cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPUTejun Heo
commit 6889125b8b4e09c5e53e6ecab3433bed1ce198c9 upstream. powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on fidvid_mutex and sleeps. It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on 3.5. Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know. This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells me is the case. stable: ed48ece27c ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the behavior could be horrible.

2012-10-02workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wqTejun Heo
commit ed48ece27cd3d5ee0354c32bbaec0f3e1d4715c3 upstream. The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the kthread die on each invocation. Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq which makes it simpler and way more efficient. stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8. AFAICS, this shouldn't break other existing users.

2012-10-02net: ipv4: ipmr_expire_timer causes crash when removing net namespaceFrancesco Ruggeri
[ Upstream commit acbb219d5f53821b2d0080d047800410c0420ea1 ] When tearing down a net namespace, ipv4 mr_table structures are freed without first deactivating their timers. This can result in a crash in run_timer_softirq. This patch mimics the corresponding behaviour in ipv6. Locking and synchronization seem to be adequate. We are about to kfree mrt, so existing code should already make sure that no other references to mrt are pending or can be created by incoming traffic. The functions invoked here do not cause new references to mrt or other race conditions to be created. Invoking del_timer_sync guarantees that ipmr_expire_timer is inactive. Both ipmr_expire_process (whose completion we may have to wait in del_timer_sync) and mroute_clean_tables internally use mfc_unres_lock or other synchronizations when needed, and they both only modify mrt.

2012-10-02netlink: fix possible spoofing from non-root processesPablo Neira Ayuso
[ Upstream commit 20e1db19db5d6b9e4e83021595eab0dc8f107bef ] Non-root user-space processes can send Netlink messages to other processes that are well-known for being subscribed to Netlink asynchronous notifications. This allows ilegitimate non-root process to send forged messages to Netlink subscribers. The userspace process usually verifies the legitimate origin in two ways: a) Socket credentials. If UID != 0, then the message comes from some ilegitimate process and the message needs to be dropped. b) Netlink portID. In general, portID == 0 means that the origin of the messages comes from the kernel. Thus, discarding any message not coming from the kernel. However, ctnetlink sets the portID in event messages that has been triggered by some user-space process, eg. conntrack utility. So other processes subscribed to ctnetlink events, eg. conntrackd, know that the event was triggered by some user-space action. Neither of the two ways to discard ilegitimate messages coming from non-root processes can help for ctnetlink. This patch adds capability validation in case that dst_pid is set in netlink_sendmsg(). This approach is aggressive since existing applications using any Netlink bus to deliver messages between two user-space processes will break. Note that the exception is NETLINK_USERSOCK, since it is reserved for netlink-to-netlink userspace communication. Still, if anyone wants that his Netlink bus allows netlink-to-netlink userspace, then they can set NL_NONROOT_SEND. However, by default, I don't think it makes sense to allow to use NETLINK_ROUTE to communicate two processes that are sending no matter what information that is not related to link/neighbouring/routing. They should be using NETLINK_USERSOCK instead for that. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

[ Upstream commit 7f5c3e3a80e6654cf48dfba7cf94f88c6b505467 ] Here's a quote of the comment about the BUG macro from asm-generic/bug.h: Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out; one example might be detecting data structure corruption in the middle of an operation that can't be backed out of. If the (sub)system can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality, it's probably not BUG-worthy. If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly. In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides, the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it.

[ Upstream commit 7e6d06f0de3f74ca929441add094518ae332257c ] Currently an skb requiring TSO may not fit within a minimum-size TX queue.

Set the maximum number of TSO segments for our devices to 100. This should make no difference to behaviour unless the actual MSS is less than about 700. Increase the minimum TX queue size accordingly to allow for 2 worst-case skbs, so that there will definitely be space to add an skb after we wake a queue.

2012-10-02net: Allow driver to limit number of GSO segments per skbBen Hutchings
[ Upstream commit 30b678d844af3305cda5953467005cebb5d7b687 ] A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2.

It also uses a designated initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a constant expression. The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must consist of constant expressions.

commit 156bddd8e505b295540f3ca0e27dda68cb0d49aa upstream. Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash.

commit 9c2fc0de1a6e638fe58c354a463f544f42a90a09 upstream. When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4 (udf: convert to new aops). Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page properly uptodate.

2012-09-14SCSI: Fix 'Device not ready' issue on mpt2sasJames Bottomley
commit 14216561e164671ce147458653b1fea06a4ada1e upstream. This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem. SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2) if the device is in the stopped state as the result of processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND REQUIRED; mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this. The result is very confusing standby behaviour (using hdparm -y). If you suspend a drive and then send another command, usually it wakes up. However, if the next command is a TEST UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands. This means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back. If you send a command and then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive. This bit us badly because commit 85ef06d1d252f6a2e73b678591ab71caad4667bb Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Fri Jul 1 16:17:47 2011 +0200 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2) Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command) resulting in lots of failed commands. The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we have to work around it. The fix for this is twofold: 1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been suspended 2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

2012-09-14SCSI: mpt2sas: Fix for Driver oops, when loading driver with max_queue_depth ↵sreekanth.reddy@lsi.com
command line option to a very small value commit 338b131a3269881c7431234855c93c219b0979b6 upstream. If the specified max_queue_depth setting is less than the expected number of internal commands, then driver will calculate the queue depth size to a negitive number. This negitive number is actually a very large number because variable is unsigned 16bit integer. So, the driver will ask for a very large amount of memory for message frames and resulting into oops as memory allocation routines will not able to handle such a large request. So, in order to limit this kind of oops, The driver need to set the max_queue_depth to a scsi mid layer's can_queue value. Then the overall message frames required for IO is minimum of either (max_queue_depth plus internal commands) or the IOC global credits.

2012-09-14powerpc: Restore correct DSCR in context switchAnton Blanchard
commit 714332858bfd40dcf8f741498336d93875c23aa7 upstream. During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value. If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management (ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value. Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread DSCR as required. This was found with the following test case, when running with more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all test cases successfully at the same time: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.c Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2012-09-14block: replace __getblk_slow misfix by grow_dev_page fixHugh Dickins
commit 676ce6d5ca3098339c028d44fe0427d1566a4d2d upstream. Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow") is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to __find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there. Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595: inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console, which pointed to this commit. I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7 itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between 18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2). (I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.) Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers() and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()), returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case. And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird" comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

2012-09-14ath9k: fix decrypt_error initialization in ath_rx_tasklet()Lorenzo Bianconi
commit e1352fde5682ab1bdd2a9e5d75c22d1fe210ef77 upstream. ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess() and ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess() in a loop over the received frames. The decrypt_error flag is initialized to false just outside ath_rx_tasklet() loop. ath9k_rx_accept(), called by ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess(), only sets decrypt_error to true and never to false. Then ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess() and passes decrypt_error to it. So, after a decryption error, in ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess(), we can have a leftover value from another processed frame. In that case, the frame will not be marked with RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED even if it is decrypted correctly. When using CCMP encryption this issue can lead to connection stuck because of CCMP PN corruption and a waste of CPU time since mac80211 tries to decrypt an already deciphered frame with ieee80211_aes_ccm_decrypt. Fix the issue initializing decrypt_error flag at the begging of the ath_rx_tasklet() loop. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo.bianconi83@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
