2013-05-13netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset()Patrick McHardy
[ Upstream commit 124dff01afbdbff251f0385beca84ba1b9adda68 ] Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-05-13net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly.Vlad Yasevich
[ Upstream commit 4543fbefe6e06a9e40d9f2b28d688393a299f079 ] A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after the first device/call. Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all unsync calls to work. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-05-13vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper functionLinus Torvalds
commit b4cbb197c7e7a68dbad0d491242e3ca67420c13e upstream. Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases to use. Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around, and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level. It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really need to. So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver. Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

2013-05-13ext4/jbd2: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparoundTheodore Ts'o
commit d76a3a77113db020d9bb1e894822869410450bd9 upstream. In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large (2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap, causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail. Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily", attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit(). Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same stale tid, and then wait for a very long time. To fix this, we replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function, jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's. As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started. This should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for ext4's scalability.

commit 4b20db3de8dab005b07c74161cb041db8c5ff3a7 upstream. This function is intended to simplify locking around refcounting for objects that can be looked up from a lookup structure, and which are removed from that lookup structure in the object destructor. Operations on such objects require at least a read lock around lookup + kref_get, and a write lock around kref_put + remove from lookup structure. Furthermore, RCU implementations become extremely tricky. With a lookup followed by a kref_get_unless_zero *with return value check* locking in the kref_put path can be deferred to the actual removal from the lookup structure and RCU lookups become trivial. v2: Formatting fixes. v3: Invert the return value.

2013-04-25spinlocks and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriersLinus Torvalds
commit 386afc91144b36b42117b0092893f15bc8798a80 upstream. In UP and non-preempt respectively, the spinlocks and preemption disable/enable points are stubbed out entirely, because there is no regular code that can ever hit the kind of concurrency they are meant to protect against. However, while there is no regular code that can cause scheduling, we _do_ end up having some exceptional (literally!) code that can do so, and that we need to make sure does not ever get moved into the critical region by the compiler. In particular, get_user() and put_user() is generally implemented as inline asm statements (even if the inline asm may then make a call instruction to call out-of-line), and can obviously cause a page fault and IO as a result. If that inline asm has been scheduled into the middle of a preemption-safe (or spinlock-protected) code region, we obviously lose. Now, admittedly this is *very* unlikely to actually ever happen, and we've not seen examples of actual bugs related to this. But partly exactly because it's so hard to trigger and the resulting bug is so subtle, we should be extra careful to get this right. So make sure that even when preemption is disabled, and we don't have to generate any actual *code* to explicitly tell the system that we are in a preemption-disabled region, we need to at least tell the compiler not to move things around the critical region. This patch grew out of the same discussion that caused commits 79e5f05edcbf ("ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq* functions") and 3e2e0d2c222b ("tile: comment assumption about __insn_mtspr for <asm/irqflags.h>") to come about. Note for stable: use discretion when/if applying this. As mentioned, this bug may never have actually bitten anybody, and gcc may never have done the required code motion for it to possibly ever trigger in practice.

2013-03-27efi_pstore: Introducing workqueue updating sysfsSeiji Aguchi
commit a93bc0c6e07ed9bac44700280e65e2945d864fd4 upstream. [Problem] efi_pstore creates sysfs entries, which enable users to access to NVRAM, in a write callback. If a kernel panic happens in an interrupt context, it may fail because it could sleep due to dynamic memory allocations during creating sysfs entries. [Patch Description] This patch removes sysfs operations from a write callback by introducing a workqueue updating sysfs entries which is scheduled after the write callback is called. Also, the workqueue is kicked in a just oops case. A system will go down in other cases such as panic, clean shutdown and emergency restart. And we don't need to create sysfs entries because there is no chance for users to access to them. efi_pstore will be robust against a kernel panic in an interrupt context with this patch.

2013-03-27inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket listsHannes Frederic Sowa
[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ] This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu. If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed. This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish between the different users of inet_fragment.c. I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path, because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

commit 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 upstream. This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream. The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its 16-bit output. This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new capabilities. The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the way they handle invalid byte combinations.

commit 68d929862e29a8b52a7f2f2f86a0600423b093cd upstream. UEFI variables are typically stored in flash. For various reasons, avaiable space is typically not reclaimed immediately upon the deletion of a variable - instead, the system will garbage collect during initialisation after a reboot. Some systems appear to handle this garbage collection extremely poorly, failing if more than 50% of the system flash is in use. This can result in the machine refusing to boot. The safest thing to do for the moment is to forbid writes if they'd end up using more than half of the storage space. We can make this more finegrained later if we come up with a method for identifying the broken machines.

2013-03-20dm: fix truncated status stringsMikulas Patocka
commit fd7c092e711ebab55b2688d3859d95dfd0301f73 upstream. Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

2013-03-06exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depthKees Cook
commit d740269867021faf4ce38a449353d2b986c34a67 upstream. To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

commit d0bd587a80960d7ba7e0c8396e154028c9045c54 upstream. Implement UMH_KILLABLE, should be used along with UMH_WAIT_EXEC/PROC. The caller must ensure that subprocess_info->path/etc can not go away until call_usermodehelper_freeinfo(). call_usermodehelper_exec(UMH_KILLABLE) does wait_for_completion_killable. If it fails, it uses xchg(&sub_info->complete, NULL) to serialize with umh_complete() which does the same xhcg() to access sub_info->complete. If call_usermodehelper_exec wins, it can safely return. umh_complete() should get NULL and call call_usermodehelper_freeinfo(). Otherwise we know that umh_complete() was already called, in this case call_usermodehelper_exec() falls back to wait_for_completion() which should succeed "very soon". Note: UMH_NO_WAIT == -1 but it obviously should not be used with UMH_KILLABLE. We delay the neccessary cleanup to simplify the back porting.

When backporting commit ebebd49a8eab ('8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port') I took the next available port type number for PORT_BRCM_TRUMANAGE (22). However, the 8250 port type numbers are exposed to userland through the TIOC{G,S}SERIAL ioctls and so must remain stable. Redefine PORT_BRCM_TRUMANAGE as 25, matching mainline as of commit 85f024401bf807. This leaves port types 22-24 within the valid range for 8250 but not implemented there. Change serial8250_verify_port() to specifically reject these and change serial8250_type() to return "unknown" for them (though I'm not sure why it would ever see them).

2013-03-06pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart pathSeiji Aguchi
commit 9f244e9cfd70c7c0f82d3c92ce772ab2a92d9f64 upstream. [Issue] When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock. This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock - cpuB is deadlocked This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second. Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware - cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer. And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again. [Solution] This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu can be blocked in current path. With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave to spin_trylock_irqsave. In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c, spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid deadlock. This patch fits the comment below. <snip> /** * emergency_restart - reboot the system * * Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks * reboot the system.

commit 4f4ffc3a5398ef9bdbb32db04756d7d34e356fcf upstream. automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing #if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc) architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels. During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned long type. This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?) seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).

2013-03-06nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdownPaolo Bonzini
commit 3a2d63f87989e01437ba994df5f297528c353d7d upstream. There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver. 1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem. This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s NBD_DISCONNECT handler. This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem, either). 2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will come from the same backing storage. The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk. Example: # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0 # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0 # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. While /dev/sda has: # file -s /dev/sda /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Adjusted context - s/\bnbd\b/lo/ - Incorporate export of kill_bdev() from commit ff01bb483265 ('fs: move code out of buffer.c')] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

schedule commit 21a92735f660eaecf69a6f2e777f18463760ec32 upstream. With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule() as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier structure while it is currently being used. Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm. So all mms share a global srcu.

commit fcf29481fb8e106daad6688f2e898226ee928992 upstream. This patch fixes a bug in core_tpg_check_initiator_node_acl() -> core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl() where a dynamically created se_node_acl generated during session login would be skipped during subsequent lookup due to the '!acl->dynamic_node_acl' check, causing a new se_node_acl to be created with a duplicate ->initiatorname. This would occur when a fabric endpoint was configured with TFO->tpg_check_demo_mode()=1 + TPF->tpg_check_demo_mode_cache()=1 preventing the release of an existing se_node_acl during se_session shutdown. Also, drop the unnecessary usage of core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl() within core_dev_init_initiator_node_lun_acl() that originally required the extra '!acl->dynamic_node_acl' check, and just pass the configfs provided se_node_acl pointer instead.

commit 513b032c98b4b9414aa4e9b4a315cb1bf0380101 upstream. The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer. Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low (n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup, so the timing isn't affected.) It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not something that affects users.

2013-03-06vgacon/vt: clear buffer attributes when we load a 512 character font (v2)Dave Airlie
commit 2a2483072393b27f4336ab068a1f48ca19ff1c1e upstream. When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus the new font misrenders. The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on screen at boot and is quite ugly. A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen no longer corrupts. v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we are are going to or from 512 chars.
