commit aa5bd67d upstream. Since check_prlimit_permission always fails in the case of SUID/GUID processes, such processes are not able to read or set their own limits. This commit changes this by assuming that process can always read/change its own limits. Signed-off-by:

commit f7448548 upstream. Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire 1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression. commit d0af9eed Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Date: Wed Aug 19 18:05:36 2009 -0700 x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init Because of the UP configuration of that platform, native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check()) before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init() Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual write only if they are different. BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's happens and all is well. However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of the OS boot. During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup. We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the commit d0af9eed, because only the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP had at the start of the OS boot. Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot. Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393 [ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ] Reported-and-bisected-by:

Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Date: Sun Nov 8 00:53:51 2009 -0800 net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation. There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by:

commit 01e05e9a upstream. The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not interlocked with the tracee state. IOW, the tracee could be running or sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is called. This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be dangerous. The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state. This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector. I don't think it will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops somewhere. Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup conditions are expected to be interlocked. Although the window of opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited. Signed-off-by:

commit d8c216cf upstream. The following scenario is possible with the current cpuidle code and the ACPI cpuidle driver: (1) acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() is called, (2) cpuidle_disable_device() is called, (3) cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs() is called to remove the (presumably outdated) states info from sysfs, (3) acpi_processor_get_power_info() is called, the first entry in the pr->power.states[] table is filled with zeros, (4) acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle() is called and it doesn't fill the first entry in pr->power.states[], (5) cpuidle_enable_device() is called, (6) __cpuidle_register_device() is _not_ called, since the device has already been registered, (7) Consequently, poll_idle_init() is _not_ called either, (8) cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() is called to create the sysfs attributes for the new states and it uses the bogus first table entry from acpi_processor_get_power_info() for creating state0. This problem is avoided if cpuidle_enable_device() unconditionally calls poll_idle_init(). Reported-by:

commit 8b3bb3ec upstream. We sometimes need to map between the virtio device and the given pci device. One such use is OS installer that gets the boot pci device from BIOS and needs to find the relevant block device. Since it can't, installation fails. Instead of creating a top-level devices/virtio-pci directory, create each device under the corresponding pci device node. Symlinks to all virtio-pci devices can be found under the pci driver link in bus/pci/drivers/virtio-pci/devices, and all virtio devices under drivers/bus/virtio/devices. Signed-off-by:

However, not specifying the parameter results in ids set to an empty string. strsep() happily returns the empty string as the first token and thus triggers the warning message spuriously. Make the tokner ignore zero length ids. Reported-by:

commit efb3e34b upstream. When p3_ioremap() was converted to ioremap_prot() there was some breakage introduced where the 29-bit segmentation logic would trap the area range and return an identity mapping without having allowed the area specification to force mapping through page tables. This wires up a PCC mask for pgprot verification to work out whether to short-circuit the identity mapping on legacy parts, restoring the previous behaviour. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 44b82883 ] commit 57dbb2d8 (sched: add head drop fifo queue) introduced pfifo_head_drop, and broke the invariant that sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are COUNTER (increasing counters only) This can break estimators because est_timer() handles unsigned deltas only. A decreasing counter can then give a huge unsigned delta. My mid term suggestion would be to change things so that sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are incremented in dequeue() only, not at enqueue() time. We also could add drop_bytes/drop_packets and provide estimations of drop rates. It would be more sensible anyway for very low speeds, and big bursts. Right now, if we drop packets, they still are accounted in byte/packets abolute counters and rate estimators. Before this mid term change, this patch makes pfifo_head_drop behavior similar to other qdiscs in case of drops : Dont decrement sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 6623e3b2 ] RFC3168 (The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification to IP) states : 5.3. Fragmentation ECN-capable packets MAY have the DF (Don't Fragment) bit set. Reassembly of a fragmented packet MUST NOT lose indications of congestion. In other words, if any fragment of an IP packet to be reassembled has the CE codepoint set, then one of two actions MUST be taken: * Set the CE codepoint on the reassembled packet. However, this MUST NOT occur if any of the other fragments contributing to this reassembly carries the Not-ECT codepoint. * The packet is dropped, instead of being reassembled, for any other reason. This patch implements this requirement for IPv4, choosing the first action : If one fragment had NO-ECT codepoint reassembled frame has NO-ECT ElIf one fragment had CE codepoint reassembled frame has CE Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2c6607c6 ] Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI. He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e0 (poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem. Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal POLLPRI. Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a seldom used feature this seems a good compromise. Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test program as well. Reference : http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg151793.htmlReported-and-bisected-by:

[ Upstream commit 72b43d08 ] Linux IPv6 forwards unicast packets, which are link layer multicasts... The hole was present since day one. I was 100% this check is there, but it is not. The problem shows itself, f.e. when Microsoft Network Load Balancer runs on a network. This software resolves IPv6 unicast addresses to multicast MAC addresses. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 3610cda5 ] unix_release() can asynchornously set socket->sk to NULL, and it does so without holding the unix_state_lock() on "other" during stream connects. However, the reverse mapping, sk->sk_socket, is only transitioned to NULL under the unix_state_lock(). Therefore make the security hooks follow the reverse mapping instead of the forward mapping.

[ Upstream commit 09798eb9 ] After commit 25edd694 ("sparc64: Get rid of indirect p1275 PROM call buffer.") we can't pass virtual addresses >4GB to PROM calls. Largely this is never necessary in drivers because we have a copy of the entire PROM device tree in the kernel and a set of of_*() interfaces to access it. Unfortunately there were some lingering prom calls in the atyfb driver, in particular prom_finddevice() was being called with an on-stack address which could be anywhere. This code is actually probing for information we already have, the PROM choosen console output device is stored in of_console_device so all of this nasty code consolidates into a one-line comparison. Next we have some prom_getintdefault() calls which are trivially transformed into the equivalent of_getintprop_default(). Special thanks to Fabio, who figured out exactly where the bootup was hanging. That made this bug trivial to fix. Reported-by:

commit 12a4dc43 upstream. In fsl_rio_dbell_handler() the code currently simply acknowledges the QFI queue full interrupt, but does nothing to resolve the queue full condition. Instead, it jumps to the end of the isr. When a queue full condition occurs, the isr is then re-entered immediately and continually, forever. The fix is to just fall through and read out current doorbell entries. Signed-off-by:

commit 2892c15d upstream. In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module loads & unloads. I tracked this down to: fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures (this was in addition to the features advert unload problem) The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing a double free. In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates & frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different... so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double freeing the one allocated by slub. After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other sized-caches that get allocated. jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it more or less the way jbd2 does. Below patch follows the jbd2 method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from a list of static names. (This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with parallel mounts running). [Folded in a fix from Dan Carpenter which fixed an off-by-one error in the original patch] Signed-off-by:

commit d50bdd5a upstream. This fixes a corruption problem with the multi-block writepages submittal change for ext4, from commit bd2d0210 ("ext4: use bio layer instead of buffer layer in mpage_da_submit_io"). (Note that this corruption is not present in 2.6.37 on ext4, because the corruption was detected after the feature was merged in 2.6.37-rc1, and so it was turned off by adding a non-default mount option, mblk_io_submit. With this commit, which hopefully fixes the last of the bugs with this feature, we'll be able to turn on this performance feature by default in 2.6.38, and remove the mblk_io_submit option.) The ext4 code path to bundle multiple pages for writeback in ext4_bio_write_page() had a bug: we should be clearing buffer head dirty flags *before* we submit the bio, not in the completion routine. The patch below was tested on 2.6.37 under KVM with the postgresql script which was submitted by Jon Nelson as documented in commit 1449032b. Without the patch, I'd hit the corruption problem about 50-70% of the time. With the patch, I executed the script > 100 times with no corruption seen. I also fixed a bug to make sure ext4_end_bio() doesn't dereference the bio after the bio_put() call. Reported-by:
