commit b22d127a39ddd10d93deee3d96e643657ad53a49 upstream.
shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot
be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify
sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next
spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2.
Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and
policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is
reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially
duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that
performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can
sleep when calling sp_alloc().

[ Upstream commit f4ef85bbda96324785097356336bc79cdd37db0a ]
commit d2d68ba9fe8 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.)
introduced a regression for forwarding.
This was hard to reproduce but the symptom was that packets were
delivered to local host instead of being forwarded.
David suggested to add fib_type to fib_info so that we dont
inadvertently share same fib_info for different purposes.
With help from Julian Anastasov who provided very helpful
hints, reproduced here :
<quote>
Can it be a problem related to fib_info reuse
from different routes. For example, when local IP address
is created for subnet we have:
broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.0/24 dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1
local 192.168.0.1 dev DEV proto kernel scope host src 192.168.0.1
The "dev DEV proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1" is
a reused fib_info structure where we put cached routes.
The result can be same fib_info for 192.168.0.255 and
192.168.0.0/24. RTN_BROADCAST is cached only for input
routes. Incoming broadcast to 192.168.0.255 can be cached
and can cause problems for traffic forwarded to 192.168.0.0/24.
So, this patch should solve the problem because it
separates the broadcast from unicast traffic.
And the ip_route_input_slow caching will work for
local and broadcast input routes (above routes 1 and 3) just
because they differ in scope and use different fib_info.

c6x: use asm-generic/barrier.h
|

Commit d97b46a64 ("syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall" ) added a new
syscall to support checkpoint restore. It is currently x86-only, but
that restriction will be removed in a subsequent patch. Unfortunately,
the kernel checksyscalls script had a bug which suppressed any warning
to other architectures that the kcmp syscall was not implemented. A
patch to checksyscalls is being tested in linux-next and other
architectures are seeing warnings about kcmp being unimplemented.
This patch adds __NR_kcmp to <asm-generic/unistd.h> so that kcmp is
wired in for architectures using the generic syscall list.

Pull more networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of
bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need
to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not
expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the
packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to
continue using pskb_may_pull().
So they could end up reading garbage.
It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use
skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify
the linear SKB data area.
2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can
call down into the TCP keepalive code. The case basically involves
creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling
setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...)
Fixed by Eric Dumazet.
3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered
on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP. Fix
from Andrzej Kaczmarek.
4) Bluetooth cancels delayed work erroneously, put stricter checks in
place. From Andrei Emeltchenko.
5) Fix deadlock between cfg80211_mutex and reg_regdb_search_mutex in

Commit 1ad75b9e1628 ("c/r: prctl: add minimal address test to
PR_SET_MM") added some address checking to prctl_set_mm() used by
checkpoint-restore. This causes a build error for no-MMU systems:
kernel/sys.c: In function 'prctl_set_mm':
kernel/sys.c:1868:34: error: 'mmap_min_addr' undeclared (first use in this function)
The test for mmap_min_addr doesn't make a lot of sense for no-MMU code
as noted in commit 6e1415467614 ("NOMMU: Optimise away the
{dac_,}mmap_min_addr tests").
This patch defines mmap_min_addr as 0UL in the no-MMU case so that the
compiler will optimize away tests for "addr < mmap_min_addr".

The KSZ8021 PHY was previously caught by KS8051, which is not correct.
This PHY needs additional setup if it is strapped for address 0. In such
case an reserved bit must be written in the 0x16, "Operation Mode Strap
Override" register. According to the KS8051 datasheet, that bit means
"PHY Address 0 in non-broadcast" and it indeed behaves as such on KSZ8021.
The issue where the ethernet controller (Freescale FEC) did not communicate
with network is fixed by writing this bit as 1.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"More bug fixes, nothing gets past these guys"
1) More kernel info leaks found by Mathias Krause, this time in the
IPSEC configuration layers.
2) When IPSEC policies change, we do not properly make sure that cached
routes (which could now be stale) throughout the system will be
revalidated. Fix this by generalizing the generation count
invalidation scheme used by ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.
3) When repairing TCP sockets, we need to allow to restore not just the
send window scale, but the receive one too. Extend the existing
interface to achieve this in a backwards compatible way. From
Andrey Vagin.
4) A fix for FCOE scatter gather feature validation erroneously caused
scatter gather to be disabled for things like AOE too. From Ed L
Cashin.
5) Several cases of mishandling of error pointers, from Mathias Krause,
Wei Yongjun, and Devendra Naga.
6) Fix gianfar build, from Richard Cochran.

Hongjiang.
8) Hardware reset fix in janz-ican3 CAN driver, from Ira W Snyder.
9) Fix oops during rmmod in ti_hecc CAN driver, from Marc Kleine-Budde.
10) The removal of the conditional compilation of the clk support code
in the stmmac driver broke things. This is because the interfaces
used are the ones that don't also perform the enable/disable of the
clk. Fix from Stefan Roese.
11) The QFQ packet scheduler can record out of range virtual start
times, resulting later in misbehavior and even crashes. Fix from
Paolo Valente.
12) If MSG_WAITALL is used with IOAT DMA under TCP, we can wedge the
receiver when the advertised receive window goes to zero. Detect
this case and force the processing of the IOAT DMA queue when it
happens to avoid getting stuck. Fix from Michal Kubecek.
13) batman-adv assumes that test_bit() returns only 0 or 1, but this is
not true for x86 (which returns -1 or 0, via the 'sbb' instruction).
Fix from Linus Lussing.
14) Fix small packet corruption in e1000, from Tushar Dave.
15) make_blackhole() in the IPSEC policy code can do one read unlock too
many, fix from Li RongQing.
16) The new tcp_try_coalesce() code introduced a bug in TCP URG
handling, fix from Eric Dumazet.
17) Fix memory leak in __netif_receive_skb() when doing zerocopy and
when hit an OOM condition. From Michael S Tsirkin.
18) netxen blindly deferences pdev->bus->self, which is not guarenteed
to be non-NULL. Fix from Nikolay Aleksandrov.

The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually
contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new
state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the
whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the
replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL
netlink attribute. This leads to following issues:
1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling
code later on.
2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap
memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN).
Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's
iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter
uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not.
strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1.
To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the
XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a
fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel
bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For
state updates the full bitmap must be supplied.
To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size
of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum
replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real
life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64).

After commit b6d86d3d (Fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative dividends),
the following warning is seen if the kernel is compiled with W=1 (-Wextra):
warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true
The warning is due to the test '((typeof(x))-1) >= 0', which is used to detect
if the variable type is unsigned. Research on the web suggests that the warning
disappears if '>' instead of '>=' is used for the comparison.
Tests after changing the macro along that line show that the warning is gone,
and that the result is still correct:
i=-4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2
i=-3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2
i=-2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1
i=-1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1

To force the validation, dst entries should be created with ->obsolete set to

IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock
deadlock. Commit c83ce989cb5f ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression
in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit.
The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the
dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too,
which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry
tree.
This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is
only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag.
IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
"size" is a signed integer. In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type

I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
will be 0.
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
I think it should be:
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

perturbations"
This reverts commit 970e178985cadbca660feb02f4d2ee3a09f7fdda.
Nikolay Ulyanitsky reported thatthe 3.6-rc5 kernel has a 15-20%
performance drop on PostgreSQL 9.2 on his machine (running "pgbench").
Borislav Petkov was able to reproduce this, and bisected it to this
commit 970e178985ca ("sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies' ...")
apparently because the new single-idle-buddy model simply doesn't find
idle CPU's to reschedule on aggressively enough.
Mike Galbraith suspects that it is likely due to the user-mode spinlocks
in PostgreSQL not reacting well to preemption, but we don't really know
the details - I'll just revert the commit for now.
There are hopefully other approaches to improve scheduler scalability
without it causing these kinds of downsides.

Currently the MFD core supports remapping MFD cell interrupts using an
irqdomain but only if the MFD is being instantiated using device tree
and only if the device tree bindings use the pattern of registering IPs
in the device tree with compatible properties. This will be actively
harmful for drivers which support non-DT platforms and use this pattern
for their DT bindings as it will mean that the core will silently change
remapping behaviour and it is also limiting for drivers which don't do
DT with this particular pattern. There is also a potential fragility if
there are interrupts not associated with MFD cells and all the cells are
omitted from the device tree for some reason.
Instead change the code to take an IRQ domain as an optional argument,
allowing drivers to take the decision about the parent domain for their
interrupts. The one current user of this feature is ab8500-core, it has
the domain lookup pushed out into the driver.

On transactions with n>=2 bytes, the controller actually wrongly clocks in n+1
bytes. This is caused by the (wrong) assumption that RFE in the Status Register
is 1 iff there is no byte already ordered (via a dummy TX byte). This lead to
the implementation of synchronized byte ordering, e.g.:
Dummy-TX - RX - Dummy-TX - RX - ...
But since RFE actually stays high after some Dummy-TX, it rather looks like:
Dummy-TX - Dummy-TX - RX - Dummy-TX - RX - (RX)
The last RX byte is clocked in by the bus controller, but ignored by the kernel
when filling the userspace buffer.
This patch fixes the issue by asking for RX via Dummy-TX asynchronously.
Introducing a separate counter for TX bytes.

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.
Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

John W. Linville says:
====================
Please pull these fixes intended for 3.6. There are more commits
here than I would like -- I got a bit behind while I was stalking
Steven Rostedt in San Diego last week... I'll slow it down after this!
There are a couple of pulls here. One is from Johannes:
"Please pull (according to the below information) to get a few fixes.
* a fix to properly disconnect in the driver when authentication or
association fails
* a fix to prevent invalid information about mesh paths being reported
to userspace
* a memory leak fix in an nl80211 error path"
The other comes via Gustavo:
"A few updates for the 3.6 kernel. There are two btusb patches to add
more supported devices through the new USB_VENDOR_AND_INTEFACE_INFO()
macro and another one that add a new device id for a Sony Vaio laptop,
one fix for a user-after-free and, finally, two patches from Vinicius
to fix a issue in SMP pairing."
Along with those...
Arend van Spriel provides a fix for a use-after-free bug in brcmfmac.
Daniel Drake avoids a hang by not trying to touch the libertas hardware
duing suspend if it is already powered-down.
Felix Fietkau provides a batch of ath9k fixes that adress some
potential problems with power settings, as well as a fix to avoid a
potential interrupt storm.
Gertjan van Wingerde provides a register-width fix for rt2x00, and
a rt2x00 fix to prevent incorrectly detecting the rfkill status.
He also provides a device ID patch.
Hante Meuleman gives us three brcmfmac fixes, one that properly
initializes a command structure, one that fixes a race condition that
could lose usb requests, and one that removes some log spam.
Marc Kleine-Budde offers an rt2x00 fix for a voltage setting on some
specific devices.
Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan sent an ath9k fix to avoid a crash related to
using timers that aren't allocated when 2 wire bluetooth coexistence
hardware is in use.
Sergei Poselenov changes rt2800usb to do some validity checking for
received packets, avoiding crashes on an ARM Soc.
Stone Piao gives us an mwifiex fix for an incorrectly set skb length
value for a command buffer.
All of these are localized to their specific drivers, and relatively
small. The power-related patches from Felix are bigger than I would
like, but I merged them in consideration of their isolation to ath9k
and the sensitive nature of power settings in wireless devices.

Similar to INQUIRY and MODE SENSE, construct the sense data in a
buffer and later copy it to the scatterlist. Do not do anything,
but still clear a pending unit attention condition, if the allocation
length is zero.
However, SPC tells us that "If a REQUEST SENSE command is terminated with
CHECK CONDITION status [and] the REQUEST SENSE command was received on
an I_T nexus with a pending unit attention condition (i.e., before the
device server reports CHECK CONDITION status), then the device server
shall not clear the pending unit attention condition." Do the
transport_kmap_data_sg early to detect this case.
It also tells us "Device servers shall not adjust the additional sense
length to reflect truncation if the allocation length is less than the
sense data available", so do not do that! Note that the err variable
is write-only.

Commit 43cedbf0e8dfb9c5610eb7985d5f21263e313802 (SUNRPC: Ensure that
we grab the XPRT_LOCK before calling xprt_alloc_slot) is causing
hangs in the case of NFS over UDP mounts.
Since neither the UDP or the RDMA transport mechanism use dynamic slot
allocation, we can skip grabbing the socket lock for those transports.
Add a new rpc_xprt_op to allow switching between the TCP and UDP/RDMA
case.
Note that the NFSv4.1 back channel assigns the slot directly
through rpc_run_bc_task, so we can ignore that case.

This is a completely different CONFIG_HOTPLUG problem, only
demonstrating another reason why CONFIG_HOTPLUG should go away. I had a
hard time trying to disable it anyway ;-)
The problem this time is lots of code assuming that a call to
add_uevent_var() will guarantee that env->buflen > 0. This is not true
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is unset. So things like this end up overwriting
env->envp_idx because the array index is -1:
if (add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS="))
return -ENOMEM;
len = input_print_modalias(&env->buf[env->buflen - 1],
sizeof(env->buf) - env->buflen,
dev, 0);
Don't know what the best action is, given that there seem to be a *lot*
of this around the kernel. This patch "fixes" the problem for me, but I
don't know if it can be considered an appropriate fix.
[ It is the correct fix for now, for 3.7 forcing CONFIG_HOTPLUG to
always be on is the longterm fix, but it's too late for 3.6 and older
kernels to resolve this that way - gregkh ]
