commit 5d81de8e upstream. It's possible for userland to pass down an iovec via writev() that has a bogus user pointer in it. If that happens and we're doing an uncached write, then we can end up getting less bytes than we expect from the call to iov_iter_copy_from_user. This is CVE-2014-0069 cifs_iovec_write isn't set up to handle that situation however. It'll blindly keep chugging through the page array and not filling those pages with anything useful. Worse yet, we'll later end up with a negative number in wdata->tailsz, which will confuse the sending routines and cause an oops at the very least. Fix this by having the copy phase of cifs_iovec_write stop copying data in this situation and send the last write as a short one. At the same time, we want to avoid sending a zero-length write to the server, so break out of the loop and set rc to -EFAULT if that happens. This also allows us to handle the case where no address in the iovec is valid. [Note: Marking this for stable on v3.4+ kernels, but kernels as old as v2.6.38 may have a similar problem and may need similar fix] Reviewed-by:

commit 8d80390c upstream. For avr32 cross compiler, do not define '__linux__' internally, so it will cause issue with allmodconfig.

commit bae0ca2b upstream. During __v{6,7}_setup, we invalidate the TLBs since we are about to enable the MMU on return to head.S. Unfortunately, without a subsequent dsb instruction, the invalidation is not guaranteed to have completed by the time we write to the sctlr, potentially exposing us to junk/stale translations cached in the TLB. This patch reworks the init functions so that the dsb used to ensure completion of cache/predictor maintenance is also used to ensure completion of the TLB invalidation. Reported-by:

commit d651aa1d upstream. Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from that timestamp. As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient. Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0" from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be slightly skewed.

commit ac323d8d upstream. Fix NULL pointer dereference of "chip->pdata" if platform_data was not supplied to the driver. The driver during probe stored the pointer to the platform_data: chip->pdata = client->dev.platform_data; Later it was dereferenced in max17040_get_online() and max17040_get_status().

commit 789b5e03 upstream. Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration: register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); put_online_cpus(); A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to perform the memory allocations only once. So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback registration. Cc: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 36d1c647Signed-off-by:

commit 03b56329 upstream. Commit afe2dab4 ("USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation") changed the routine that generates alias ranges. Before that change, only digits 0-9 were supported; the commit tried to fix the case when the range includes higher values than 0x9. Unfortunately, the commit didn't fix the case when the range includes both 0x9 and 0xA, meaning that the final range must look like [x-9A-y] where x <= 0x9 and y >= 0xA -- instead the [x-9A-x] range was produced. Modprobe doesn't complain as it sees no difference between no-match and bad-pattern results of fnmatch(). Fixing this simple bug to fix the aliases. Also changing the hardcoded beginning of the range to uppercase as all the other letters are also uppercase in the device version numbers. Fortunately, this affects only the dvb-usb-dib0700 module, AFAIK. Signed-off-by:

commit 823d12c9 upstream. People sometimes create their own custom-configured kernels and forget to enable CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN. This causes problems when they plug in a USB storage device (such as a card reader) with more than one LUN. Fortunately, we can tell fairly easily when a storage device claims to have more than one LUN. When that happens, this patch asks the SCSI layer to probe all the LUNs automatically, regardless of the config setting. The patch also updates the Kconfig help text for usb-storage, explaining that CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN may be necessary. Signed-off-by:

commit a9c143c8 upstream. The Cypress ATACB unusual-devs entry for the Super Top SATA bridge causes problems. Although it was originally reported only for bcdDevice = 0x160, its range was much larger. This resulted in a bug report for bcdDevice 0x220, so the range was capped at 0x219. Now Milan reports errors with bcdDevice 0x150. Therefore this patch restricts the range to just 0x160. Signed-off-by:

commit 3ac06b90 upstream. 3GPP TS 07.10 states in section 5.4.6.3.7: "The length byte contains the value 2 or 3 ... depending on the break signal." The break byte is optional and if it is sent, the length is 3. In fact the driver was not able to work with modems that send this break byte in their modem status control message. If the modem just sends the break byte if it is really set, then weird things might happen. The code for deconding the modem status to the internal linux presentation in gsm_process_modem has already a big comment about this 2 or 3 byte length thing and it is already able to decode the brk, but the code calling the gsm_process_modem function in gsm_control_modem does not encode it and hand it over the right way. This patch fixes this. Without this fix if the modem sends the brk byte in it's modem status control message the driver will hang when opening a muxed channel. Signed-off-by:

commit 2ec197db upstream. If an NFS client attempts to get a lock (using NLM) and the lock is not available, the server will remember the request and when the lock becomes available it will send a GRANT request to the client to provide the lock. If the client already held an adjacent lock, the GRANT callback will report the union of the existing and new locks, which can confuse the client. This happens because __posix_lock_file (called by vfs_lock_file) updates the passed-in file_lock structure when adjacent or over-lapping locks are found. To avoid this problem we take a copy of the two fields that can be changed (fl_start and fl_end) before the call and restore them afterwards. An alternate would be to allocate a 'struct file_lock', initialise it, use locks_copy_lock() to take a copy, then locks_release_private() after the vfs_lock_file() call. But that is a lot more work.

commit 5bbb2ae3 upstream. bind_get() checks the device number it is called with. It uses MAX_RAW_MINORS for the upper bound. But MAX_RAW_MINORS is set at compile time while the actual number of raw devices can be set at runtime. This means the test can either be too strict or too lenient. And if the test ends up being too lenient bind_get() might try to access memory beyond what was allocated for "raw_devices". So check against the runtime value (max_raw_minors) in this function.

Set the base-ASTE origin and the subspace-ASTE origin of the dispatchable-unit-control-table to point to a dummy ASTE. Set up control register 15 to point to an empty linkage stack with no room left. A user space process with a linkage stack instruction will still crash but with a different exception which is correctly translated to a segmentation fault instead of a kernel oops. Signed-off-by:

commit d7736ff5 upstream. Dumps created by kdump or zfcpdump can contain invalid memory holes when dumping z/VM systems that have memory pressure. For example: # zgetdump -i /proc/vmcore. Memory map: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000bfffff (12 MB) 0000000000e00000 - 00000000014fffff (7 MB) 000000000bd00000 - 00000000f3bfffff (3711 MB) The memory detection function find_memory_chunks() issues tprot to find valid memory chunks. In case of CMM it can happen that pages are marked as unstable via set_page_unstable() in arch_free_page(). If z/VM has released that pages, tprot returns -EFAULT and indicates a memory hole. So fix this and switch off CMM in case of kdump or zfcpdump. Signed-off-by:

commit 338f977f upstream. The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

commit 96c7a2ff upstream. Recently due to a spike in connections per second memcached on 3 separate boxes triggered the OOM killer from accept. At the time the OOM killer was triggered there was 4GB out of 36GB free in zone 1. The problem was that alloc_fdtable was allocating an order 3 page (32KiB) to hold a bitmap, and there was sufficient fragmentation that the largest page available was 8KiB. I find the logic that PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER can't fail pretty dubious but I do agree that order 3 allocations are very likely to succeed. There are always pathologies where order > 0 allocations can fail when there are copious amounts of free memory available. Using the pigeon hole principle it is easy to show that it requires 1 page more than 50% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 1 (8KiB) allocation will succeed, 1 page more than 75% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 2 (16KiB) allocation will succeed and 1 page more than 87.5% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 3 allocate will succeed. A server churning memory with a lot of small requests and replies like memcached is a common case that if anything can will skew the odds against large pages being available. Therefore let's not give external applications a practical way to kill linux server applications, and specify __GFP_NORETRY to the kmalloc in alloc_fdmem. Unless I am misreading the code and by the time the code reaches should_alloc_retry in __alloc_pages_slowpath (where __GFP_NORETRY becomes signification). We have already tried everything reasonable to allocate a page and the only thing left to do is wait. So not waiting and falling back to vmalloc immediately seems like the reasonable thing to do even if there wasn't a chance of triggering the OOM killer. Signed-off-by:

commit 36613717 upstream. Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is CLOSED. If a backend does transition to CLOSED too soon then the frontend may not see the CLOSING state and will not properly shutdown. So, treat an unexpected backend CLOSED state the same as CLOSING.

commit 3715c530 upstream. When using ALT+SysRq+Q all the pointers are replaced with "pK-error" like this: [23153.208033] .base: pK-error with echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger it works: [23107.776363] .base: ffff88023e60d540 The intent behind this behavior was to return "pK-error" in cases where the %pK format specifier was used in interrupt context, because the CAP_SYSLOG check wouldn't be meaningful. Clearly this should only apply when kptr_restrict is actually enabled though. Reported-by:

commit 2c95a329 upstream. Block layer will allocate a spinlock for the queue if the driver does not provide one in blk_init_queue(). The reason to use the internal spinlock is that blk_cleanup_queue() will switch to use the internal spinlock in the cleanup code path. if (q->queue_lock != &q->__queue_lock) q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock; However, processes which are in D state might have taken the driver provided spinlock, when the processes wake up, they would release the block provided spinlock. ===================================== [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] 3.4.0-rc7+ #238 Not tainted ------------------------------------- fio/3587 is trying to release lock (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock) at: [<ffffffff813274d2>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by fio/3587: #0: (&(&vblk->lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffff8132661a>] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250 Other drivers use block layer provided spinlock as well, e.g. SCSI. Switching to the block layer provided spinlock saves a bit of memory and does not increase lock contention. Performance test shows no real difference is observed before and after this patch.

commit c0394506 upstream. The touchpad on the Acer Aspire One D250 will report out of range values in the extreme lower portion of the touchpad. These appear as abrupt changes in the values reported by the hardware from very low values to very high values, which can cause unexpected vertical jumps in the position of the mouse pointer. What seems to be happening is that the value is wrapping to a two's compliment negative value of higher resolution than the 13-bit value reported by the hardware, with the high-order bits being truncated. This patch adds handling for these values by converting them to the appropriate negative values. The only tricky part about this is deciding when to treat a number as negative. It stands to reason that if out of range values can be reported on the low end then it could also happen on the high end, so not all out of range values should be treated as negative. The approach taken here is to split the difference between the maximum legitimate value for the axis and the maximum possible value that the hardware can report, treating values greater than this number as negative and all other values as positive. This can be tweaked later if hardware is found that operates outside of these parameters. BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001251Signed-off-by:

commit 5a21d489 upstream. 1. Do not allocate memory for buffers from emergency pools, unless absolutely required. Do not warn about and do not retry non-essential failed allocations. 2. Do not check the amount of free pages left on every single page write, but wait until one map is completely populated and then check. 3. Set maximum number of pages for read buffering consistently, instead of inadvertently depending on the size of the sector type. 4. Fix copyright line, which I missed when I submitted the hibernation threading patch. 5. Dispense with bit shifting arithmetic to improve readability. 6. Really recalculate the number of pages required to be free after all allocations have been done. 7. Fix calculation of pages required for read buffering. Only count in pages that do not belong to high memory. Signed-off-by:
