commit f83ce3e6b02d5e48b3a43b001390e2b58820389d upstream.
By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps,
only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information
that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR).
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. The
start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

commit 0816178638c15ce5472d39d771a96860dff4141a upstream.
The intention of commit aae8679b0ebcaa92f99c1c3cb0cd651594a43915
("pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of
/proc/pid/pagemap") was to force reads of /proc/pid/pagemap to be a
multiple of 8 bytes, but now it allows to read 0 bytes, which actually
puts some data to user's buffer. According to POSIX, if count is zero,
read() should return zero and has no other results.

Please add the following 4 commits to 2.6.27-stable and 2.6.28-stable.
However, there has been a lot of change here between 2.6.28 and 2.6.29:
in particular, fs/exec.c's unsafe_exec() grew into the more complicated
check_unsafe_exec(). So applying the original patches gives too many
rejects: at the bottom is the diffstat and the combined patch required.

commit 78f707bfc723552e8309b7c38a8d0cc51012e813 upstream.
The above commit added WRITE_SYNC and switched various places to using
that for committing writes that will be waited upon immediately after
submission. However, this causes a performance regression with AS and CFQ
for ext3 at least, since sync_dirty_buffer() will submit some writes with
WRITE_SYNC while ext3 has sumitted others dependent writes without the sync
flag set. This causes excessive anticipation/idling in the IO scheduler
because sync and async writes get interleaved, causing a big performance
regression for the below test case (which is meant to simulate sqlite
like behaviour).
---- test case ----
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fdes, i;
FILE *fp;
struct timeval start;
struct timeval end;
struct timeval res;
gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
for (i=0; i<ROWS; i++) {
fp = fopen("test_file", "a");
fprintf(fp, "Some Text Data\n");
fdes = fileno(fp);
fsync(fdes);
fclose(fp);
}
gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
timersub(&end, &start, &res);
fprintf(stdout, "time to write %d lines is %ld(msec)\n", ROWS,
(res.tv_sec*1000000 + res.tv_usec)/1000);
return 0;
}
-------------------

regression and providing a test case.

upstream commit: 7bfac9ecf0585962fe13584f5cf526d8c8e76f17
There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(),
splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write():
- task A calls generic_file_splice_write()
- this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both
pipe->inode and target inode
- ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is
locked first
- __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait()
- this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep
- task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first
- this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is
already held by task A
- task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as
it is already held by task B
- ABBA deadlock
Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on
target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked)
must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes
form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends
are not called with a target which is a pipe.

upstream commit: b6fac63cc1f52ec27f29fe6c6c8494a2ffac33fd
clear_inode() will switch inode state from I_FREEING to I_CLEAR, and do so
_outside_ of inode_lock. So any I_FREEING testing is incomplete without a
coupled testing of I_CLEAR.
So add I_CLEAR tests to drop_pagecache_sb(), generic_sync_sb_inodes() and
add_dquot_ref().
Masayoshi MIZUMA discovered the bug in drop_pagecache_sb() and Jan Kara
reminds fixing the other two cases.

commit 87c3a86e1c220121d0ced59d1a71e78ed9abc6dd upstream.
Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric,
wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
sure is worth it.

(cherry picked from commit ebd3610b110bbb18ea6f9f2aeed1e1068c537227)
Functions ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin() call
grab_cache_page_write_begin() without AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Thus it
can happen that page reclaim is triggered in that function
and it recurses back into the filesystem (or some other filesystem).
But this can lead to various problems as a transaction is already
started at that point. Add the necessary flag.

(cherry picked from commit 05bf9e839d9de4e8a094274a0a2fd07beb47eaf1)
This is a workaround for find_group_flex() which badly needs to be
replaced. One of its problems (besides ignoring the Orlov algorithm)
is that it is a bit hyperactive about returning failure under
suspicious circumstances. This can lead to spurious ENOSPC failures
even when there are inodes still available.
Work around this for now by retrying the search using
find_group_other() if find_group_flex() returns -1. If
find_group_other() succeeds when find_group_flex() has failed, log a
warning message.
A better block/inode allocator that will fix this problem for real has
been queued up for the next merge window.

(cherry picked from commit 7be2baaa0322c59ba888aa5260a8c130666acd41)
The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so there was a
problem representing rec_len for filesystems with a 64k block size in
the case where the directory entry takes the entire 64k block.
Unfortunately, there were two schemes that were proposed; one where
all zeros meant 65536 and one where all ones (65535) meant 65536.
E2fsprogs used 0, whereas the kernel used 65535. Oops. Fortunately
this case happens extremely rarely, with the most common case being
the lost+found directory, created by mke2fs.
So we will be liberal in what we accept, and accept both encodings,
but we will continue to encode 65536 as 65535. This will require a
change in e2fsprogs, but with fortunately ext4 filesystems normally
have the dir_index feature enabled, which precludes having a
completely empty directory block.

(cherry picked from commit 7f5aa215088b817add9c71914b83650bdd49f8a9)
If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could
possibly dereference it. Proper locking requires the journal pointer
(to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have. So we have to
change the prototype of the function so that filesystem passes us the
journal pointer. Also add a more detailed comment about why the
function jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() does what it does and
how it should be used.

(cherry picked from commit 9eddacf9e9c03578ef2c07c9534423e823d677f8)
This undoes commit 14ce0cb411c88681ab8f3a4c9caa7f42e97a3184.
Since jbd2_journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we
started a transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be
committed or there's a transaction already committing, we don't
need to call ext4_force_commit() in ext4_sync_fs(). Furthermore
ext4_force_commit() can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is
expensive so it's worthwhile to remove it when we can.

(cherry picked from commit c88ccea3143975294f5a52097546bcbb75975f52)
The function jbd2_journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a
transaction is committing or the function has queued a transaction
commit. But it returns 0 if we raced with somebody queueing the
transaction commit as well. This resulted in ext4_sync_fs() not
functioning correctly (description from Arthur Jones):
In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks
which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long
symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second
phase of fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again,
kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are
never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink
corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to
userspace.
This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
<sandeen@redhat.com>:
#!/bin/bash
umount /mnt/test2
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
rm -f /mnt/test2/*
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
/mnt/test2/link
umount /mnt/test2
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
ls /mnt/test2/
This patch fixes jbd2_journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when
there's a transaction committing or queued for commit.

commit 7ef0d7377cb287e08f3ae94cebc919448e1f5dff upstream.
There was a report of a data corruption
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to
reproduce the problem.
During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I
tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that
fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be
cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had
already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or
synchronisation problme.
i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other
processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is
cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify
i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from
the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without
waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In
my case it would look like this:
CPU0 CPU1
unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode()
reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC
reg -> inode->i_state
Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again.
Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them:
inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity
operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory
either.
After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or
hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start
immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes.
I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I
don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a
real problem for me.

commit 610d18f4128ebbd88845d0fc60cce67b49af881e upstream.
As requested by Michael, add a missing check for valid flags in
timerfd_settime(), and make it return EINVAL in case some extra bits are
set.
Michael said:
If this is to be any use to userland apps that want to check flag
support (perhaps it is too late already), then the sooner we get it
into the kernel the better: 2.6.29 would be good; earlier stables as
well would be even better.

commit 4c41bd0ec953954158f92bed5d3062645062b98e upstream.
At scan time we observed following scenario:
node A inserted
node B inserted
node C inserted -> sets overlapped flag on node B
node A is removed due to CRC failure -> overlapped flag on node B remains
while (tn->overlapped)
tn = tn_prev(tn);
==> crash, when tn_prev(B) is referenced.
When the ultimate node is removed at scan time and the overlapped flag
is set on the penultimate node, then nothing updates the overlapped
flag of that node. The overlapped iterators blindly expect that the
ultimate node does not have the overlapped flag set, which causes the
scan code to crash.
It would be a huge overhead to go through the node chain on node
removal and fix up the overlapped flags, so detecting such a case on
the fly in the overlapped iterators is a simpler and reliable
solution.

commit 8f19d472935c83d823fa4cf02bcc0a7b9952db30 upstream.
Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the
offset it passed to user space. In the case pread this assumption is
broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread.
To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we
know where our logical file position is. Then in seq_read if we try to
read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to
the offset user space wanted.

(cherry picked from commit 06a279d636734da32bb62dd2f7b0ade666f65d7c)
Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use
i_size_high for anything other than regular files. E2fsck should
complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the
kernel is to only use i_size_high for regular files.
This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the
kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such
as:

ext4_read_inode_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT to decide
whether to initialize the inode bitmap each time it is called.
(introduced by commit c806e68f.)
ext4_read_inode_bitmap does:
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT)) {

and ext4_new_inode does

i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)

I chased the cause of following ext4 oops report which is tested on
ia64 box.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12018
The cause is the size of s_mb_maxs array that is defined as "unsigned
short" in ext4_sb_info structure. If the file system's block size is
8k or greater, an unsigned short is not wide enough to contain the
value fs->blocksize << 3.

(cherry picked from commit 791b7f08954869d7b8ff438f3dac3cfb39778297)
When iterating through the pages which have mapped buffer_heads, we
failed to update the b_state value. This results in allocating blocks
at logical offset 0.
