When I backported 7d5145d8 "xen/netback: don't leak pages on failure in xen_netbk_tx_check_gop" to 3.0 (where it became f0457844) I somehow picked up an extraneous hunk breaking this. Reported-by:

commit 183d95cd upstream. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907 read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out). A simple test-case from Roman: // Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process. // EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set. void handler(int sig) { } main() { struct sigaction act; act.sa_handler = handler; act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART; sigaction (SIGCHLD, &act, 0); struct termio ttp; ioctl(0, TCGETA, &ttp); while(1) { if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) < 0) { if (errno == EINTR) { fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1); } } } } Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this particular problem. I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look equally wrong. Reported-by:

commit b22affe0 upstream. hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence. hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue versus rq->lock. If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call will unlock the wrong lock.

commit e6c42c29 upstream. The trinity fuzzer triggered a task_struct reference leak via clock_nanosleep with CPU_TIMERs. do_cpu_nanosleep() calls posic_cpu_timer_create(), but misses a corresponding posix_cpu_timer_del() which leads to the task_struct reference leak. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit e716efde upstream. commit 52553ddf(genirq: fix regression in irqfixup, irqpoll) introduced a potential deadlock by calling the action handler with the irq descriptor lock held. Remove the call and let the handling code run even for an interrupt where only a single action is registered. That matches the goal of the above commit and avoids the deadlock. Document the confusing action = desc->action reload in the handling loop while at it. Reported-and-tested-by:

[ hpa: it would be interesting to revert to the timeconst.bc script. It appears that the failures reported by akpm during testing of that script was due to a known broken version of make, not a problem with bc. The Makefile rules could probably be restructured to avoid the make bug, or it is probably old enough that it doesn't matter. ] Reported-by:

commit 7c45512d upstream. Commit c060f943 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation, resulting in some very subtle memory corruption. This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line options. In the meantime, commit c060f943 has been marked for stable, so this fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the commit to use the right alignment. Bisected-and-tested-by:

This patch corrects a buffer overflow in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers(). This bug existed in previous releases but has been revealed with commit 162a7e75 (2.6.39 => 3.0) that made changes about how to allocate memory for early printk buffer (use of memblock_alloc). It disappears with commit 7ff9554b (3.4 => 3.5) that does a refactoring of printk buffer management. In log_prefix(), the access to "p[0]", "p[1]", "p[2]" or "simple_strtoul(&p[1], &endp, 10)" may cause a buffer overflow as this function is called from call_console_drivers by passing "&LOG_BUF(cur_index)" where the index must be masked to do not exceed the buffer's boundary. The trick is to prepare in call_console_drivers() a buffer with the necessary data (PRI field of syslog message) to be safely evaluated in log_prefix(). This patch can be applied to stable kernel branches 3.0.y, 3.2.y and 3.4.y. Without this patch, one can freeze a server running this loop from shell : $ export DUMMY=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '12345AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBNazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn' | head -c255` $ while true do ; echo $DUMMY > /dev/kmsg ; done The "server freeze" depends on where memblock_alloc does allocate printk buffer : if the buffer overflow is inside another kernel allocation the problem may not be revealed, else the server may hangs up.

commit ae1c07a6 upstream. For some reason the reading of the RQDPC register was being artificially limited to 4K. Instead of limiting the value we should read the value and add the full amount. Otherwise this can lead to a misleading number of dropped packets when the actual value is in fact much higher. Signed-off-by:

commit 249bfb83 upstream. Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake() or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless the driver explicitly disables wakeup. Many drivers never disable wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are removed, e.g., via hotplug. A subsequent PME poll will oops when it tries to touch the device. This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes the device from pci_pme_list. This is safe even if the device never had PME# enabled. This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter on a Macbook Pro, as reported by Daniel below.

" Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves this problem: "This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)." The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the %cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is the approach taken in this patch. Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention and lead to accidents. Reviewed-by:

commit 0ee364eb upstream. A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads /proc/kcore: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370 [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0 [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0 [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

[ Upstream commit 48856286 ] A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback. If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be penalised. As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period. Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown afterwards. This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit ae62ca7b ] commit 35f9c09f (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once) added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all frags but the last one for a splice() call. The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe, or a smaller one. But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails. The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP sessions. We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1) Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection and test programs. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 9665d5d6 ] When releasing a packet socket, the routine packet_set_ring() is reused to free rings instead of allocating them. But when calling it for the first time, it fills req->tp_block_nr with the value of rb->pg_vec_len which in the second invocation makes it bail out since req->tp_block_nr is greater zero but req->tp_block_size is zero. This patch solves the problem by passing a zeroed auto-variable to packet_set_ring() upon each invocation from packet_release(). As far as I can tell, this issue exists even since 69e3c75f (net: TX_RING and packet mmap), i.e. the original inclusion of TX ring support into af_packet, but applies only to sockets with both RX and TX ring allocated, which is probably why this was unnoticed all the time.

[ Upstream commit 794ed393 ] Ben Greear reported crashes in ip_rcv_finish() on a stress test involving many macvlans. We tracked the bug to a dst use after free. ip_rcv_finish() was calling dst->input() and got garbage for dst->input value. It appears the bug is in loopback driver, lacking a skb_dst_force() before calling netif_rx(). As a result, a non refcounted dst, normally protected by a RCU read_lock section, was escaping this section and could be freed before the packet being processed.

[ Upstream commit 5d0feaff ] This was introduced in commit 6dccd16b "r8169: merge with version 6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version 6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek this hunk is no longer present. Also commit 05af2142 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise. The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only. Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c: net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang. As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result in device hang. Signed-off-by:
