commit c0828e50 upstream. Due to difficulty in arriving at the proper security label for TCP SYN-ACK packets in selinux_ip_postroute(), we need to check packets while/before they are undergoing XFRM transforms instead of waiting until afterwards so that we can determine the correct security label.

commit 84ed8a99 upstream. E.g. landisk_defconfig, which has CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m: ERROR: "__ashrdi3" [fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko] undefined! For "lib-y", if no symbols in a compilation unit are referenced by other units, the compilation unit will not be included in vmlinux. This breaks modules that do reference those symbols. Use "obj-y" instead to fix this. http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/8838077/ This doesn't fix all cases. There are others, e.g. udivsi3. This is also not limited to sh, many architectures handle this in the same way. A simple solution is to unconditionally include all helper functions. A more complex solution is to make the choice of "lib-y" or "obj-y" depend on CONFIG_MODULES: obj-$(CONFIG_MODULES) += ... lib-y($CONFIG_MODULES) += ... Signed-off-by:

commit f6c07cad upstream. If a handle runs out of space, we currently stop the kernel with a BUG in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(). This makes it hard to figure out what might be going on. So return an error of ENOSPC, so we can let the file system layer figure out what is going on, to make it more likely we can get useful debugging information). This should make it easier to debug problems such as the one which was reported by: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44731 The only two callers of this function are ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() and ocfs2_journal_dirty(). The ocfs2 function will trigger a BUG_ON(), which means there will be no change in behavior. The ext4 function will call ext4_error_inode() which will print the useful debugging information and then handle the situation using ext4's error handling mechanisms (i.e., which might mean halting the kernel or remounting the file system read-only). Also, since both file systems already call WARN_ON(), drop the WARN_ON from jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() to avoid two stack traces from being displayed. Signed-off-by:

commit 36d9f4d3 upstream. The tty3270_alloc_screen function is called from tty3270_install with swapped arguments, the number of columns instead of rows and vice versa. The number of rows is typically smaller than the number of columns which makes the screen array too big but the individual cell arrays for the lines too small. Creating lines longer than the number of rows will clobber the memory after the end of the cell array. The fix is simple, call tty3270_alloc_screen with the correct argument order. Signed-off-by:

commit dfd11184 upstream. In patch 209806ab we allowed local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now fixes. The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op. Signed-off-by:

commit a3e0f9e4 upstream. Memory failures on thp tail pages cause kernel panic like below: mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged MCE exception done on CPU 7 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000058 IP: [<ffffffff811b7cd1>] dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page+0x131/0x1e0 PGD bae42067 PUD ba47d067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

RIP dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page+0x131/0x1e0 CR2: 0000000000000058 The reasoning of this problem is shown below: - when we have a memory error on a thp tail page, the memory error handler grabs a refcount of the head page to keep the thp under us. - Before unmapping the error page from processes, we split the thp, where page refcounts of both of head/tail pages don't change. - Then we call try_to_unmap() over the error page (which was a tail page before). We didn't pin the error page to handle the memory error, this error page is freed and removed from LRU list. - We never have the error page on LRU list, so the first page state check returns "unknown page," then we move to the second check with the saved page flag. - The saved page flag have PG_tail set, so the second page state check returns "hugepage." - We call me_huge_page() for freed error page, then we hit the above panic. The root cause is that we didn't move refcount from the head page to the tail page after split thp. So this patch suggests to do this. This panic was introduced by commit 524fca1e ("HWPOISON: fix misjudgement of page_action() for errors on mlocked pages"). Note that we did have the same refcount problem before this commit, but it was just ignored because we had only first page state check which returned "unknown page." The commit changed the refcount problem from "doesn't work" to "kernel panic." Signed-off-by:

If isolate_migratepages_range() is called by CMA, it try to isolate regardless of pageblock unit and it don't reference get_pageblock_skip() by ignore_skip_hint. We should also respect it on update_pageblock_skip() to prevent from setting the wrong information. Signed-off-by:

commit 20841405 upstream. There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction. [mgorman@suse.de: fix build] Signed-off-by:

commit e0acd0a6 upstream. This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); schedule(); can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition, it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending). However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with "if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section. The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already does by the same reason. We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(), for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change the default implementation. While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers. Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for prepare_to_wait(). Signed-off-by:

commit 67f87463 upstream. On x86, PMD entries are similar to _PAGE_PROTNONE protection and are handled as NUMA hinting faults. The following two page table protection bits are what defines them _PAGE_NUMA:set _PAGE_PRESENT:clear A PMD is considered present if any of the _PAGE_PRESENT, _PAGE_PROTNONE, _PAGE_PSE or _PAGE_NUMA bits are set. If pmdp_invalidate encounters a pmd_numa, it clears the present bit leaving _PAGE_NUMA which will be considered not present by the CPU but present by pmd_present. The existing caller of pmdp_invalidate should handle it but it's an inconsistent state for a PMD. This patch keeps the state consistent when calling pmdp_invalidate. Signed-off-by:

I think all other drivers in drivers/pci/host ended up copying what we did on Tegra, so I wouldn't expect any other breakage either." There doesn't appear to be a simple way to support both behaviours, so reverting this as nothing should be depending on the new behaviour. Signed-off-by:

commit bd02cd25 upstream. Evan Huus found (by fuzzing in wireshark) that the radiotap iterator code can access beyond the length of the buffer if the first bitmap claims an extension but then there's no data at all. Fix this. Reported-by:

commit 85fbd722 upstream. Freezable kthreads and workqueues are fundamentally problematic in that they effectively introduce a big kernel lock widely used in the kernel and have already been the culprit of several deadlock scenarios. This is the latest occurrence. During resume, libata rescans all the ports and revalidates all pre-existing devices. If it determines that a device has gone missing, the device is removed from the system which involves invalidating block device and flushing bdi while holding driver core layer locks. Unfortunately, this can race with the rest of device resume. Because freezable kthreads and workqueues are thawed after device resume is complete and block device removal depends on freezable workqueues and kthreads (e.g. bdi_wq, jbd2) to make progress, this can lead to deadlock - block device removal can't proceed because kthreads are frozen and kthreads can't be thawed because device resume is blocked behind block device removal. 839a8e86 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue") made this particular deadlock scenario more visible but the underlying problem has always been there - the original forker task and jbd2 are freezable too. In fact, this is highly likely just one of many possible deadlock scenarios given that freezer behaves as a big kernel lock and we don't have any debug mechanism around it. I believe the right thing to do is getting rid of freezable kthreads and workqueues. This is something fundamentally broken. For now, implement a funny workaround in libata - just avoid doing block device hot[un]plug while the system is frozen. Kernel engineering at its finest. :( v2: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pm_freezing) for cases where libata is built as a module. v3: Comment updated and polling interval changed to 10ms as suggested by Rafael. v4: Add #ifdef CONFIG_FREEZER around the hack as pm_freezing is not defined when FREEZER is not configured thus breaking build.

commit b8bd6dc3 upstream. A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the BIOS. The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this, but that was never ported to the libata layer. This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force. Example use: libata.force=2.0:disable [v2 of the patch, removed the nodisable flag per Tejun Heo] Signed-off-by:

commit 966fbe19 upstream. Some device require DMADIR to be enabled, but are not detected as such by atapi_id_dmadir. One such example is "Asus Serillel 2" SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridge: the bridge itself requires DMADIR, even if the bridged device does not. As atapi_dmadir module parameter can cause problems with some devices (as per Tejun Heo's memory), enabling it globally may not be possible depending on the hardware. This patch adds atapi_dmadir in the form of a "force" horkage value, allowing global, per-bus and per-device control. Signed-off-by:

commit f447ef4a upstream. If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with a SIGSEGV in libc because cpupower-set passes a NULL optarg to the atoi call. This is because the getopt_long structure currently has all of the options as having an optional_argument when they really have a required argument. We change the structure to use required_argument to match the short options and it resolves the issue. This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000439Signed-off-by:

commit 90ff5d68 upstream. In EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON() we check to see if the stack pointer (r1) is valid when coming from the kernel. If it's not valid, we die but with a nice oops message. Currently we allocate a stack frame (subtract INT_FRAME_SIZE) before we check to see if the stack pointer is negative. Unfortunately, this won't detect a bad stack where r1 is less than INT_FRAME_SIZE. This patch fixes the check to compare the modified r1 with -INT_FRAME_SIZE. With this, bad kernel stack pointers (including NULL pointers) are correctly detected again. Kudos to Paulus for finding this. Signed-off-by:

commit 4263c86d upstream. Certain dm962x revisions contain an bug, where if a USB bulk transfer retry (E.G. if bulk crc mismatch) happens right after a transfer with odd or maxpacket length, the internal tx hardware fifo gets out of sync causing the interface to stop working. Work around it by adding up to 3 bytes of padding to ensure this situation cannot trigger. This workaround also means we never pass multiple-of-maxpacket size skb's to usbnet, so the length adjustment to handle usbnet's padding of those can be removed. Reported-by:
