commit 698b8223 upstream. 1d2ef590 caused a regression in ncpfs such that directories could no longer be removed. This was because ncp_rmdir checked to see if a dentry could be unhashed before allowing it to be removed. Since 1d2ef590 introduced a change that incremented dentry->d_count causing it to always be greater than 1 unhash would always fail. Thus causing the error path in ncp_rmdir to always be taken. Removing this error path is safe as unhashing is still accomplished by calls to dput from vfs_rmdir. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2dc85bf3 ] uaddr->sa_data is exactly of size 14, which is hard-coded here and passed as a size argument to strncpy(). A device name can be of size IFNAMSIZ (== 16), meaning we might leave the destination string unterminated. Thus, use strlcpy() and also sizeof() while we're at it. We need to memset the data area beforehand, since strlcpy does not padd the remaining buffer with zeroes for user space, so that we do not possibly leak anything. Signed-off-by:

Then, again, allocating, binding, etc, and then killing child processes. This panic then only occurs when ``echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable'' is set. The cause for that is actually very simple: in sctp_endpoint_init() we enter the path of sctp_auth_init_hmacs(). There, we try to allocate our crypto transforms through crypto_alloc_hash(). In our scenario, it then can happen that crypto_alloc_hash() fails with -EINTR from crypto_larval_wait(), thus we bail out and release the socket via sk_common_release(), sctp_destroy_sock() and hit the NULL pointer dereference as soon as we try to access members in the endpoint during sctp_endpoint_free(), since endpoint at that time is still NULL. Now, if we have that case, we do not need to do any cleanup work and just leave the destruction handler. Signed-off-by:

We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure() is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation layer. A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well. Many thanks to Daniel for providing reports, patches and testing !

[ Upstream commit 6b21e1b7 ] The net/netlabel/netlabel_domainhash.c:netlbl_domhsh_add() function does not properly validate new domain hash entries resulting in potential problems when an administrator attempts to add an invalid entry. One such problem, as reported by Vlad Halilov, is a kernel BUG (found in netlabel_domainhash.c:netlbl_domhsh_audit_add()) when adding an IPv6 outbound mapping with a CIPSO configuration. This patch corrects this problem by adding the necessary validation code to netlbl_domhsh_add() via the newly created netlbl_domhsh_validate() function. Ideally this patch should also be pushed to the currently active -stable trees. Reported-by:

commit f8b84043 upstream. This patch reworks the UEFI anti-bricking code, including an effective reversion of cc5a080c and 31ff2f20. It turns out that calling QueryVariableInfo() from boot services results in some firmware implementations jumping to physical addresses even after entering virtual mode, so until we have 1:1 mappings for UEFI runtime space this isn't going to work so well. Reverting these gets us back to the situation where we'd refuse to create variables on some systems because they classify deleted variables as "used" until the firmware triggers a garbage collection run, which they won't do until they reach a lower threshold. This results in it being impossible to install a bootloader, which is unhelpful. Feedback from Samsung indicates that the firmware doesn't need more than 5KB of storage space for its own purposes, so that seems like a reasonable threshold. However, there's still no guarantee that a platform will attempt garbage collection merely because it drops below this threshold. It seems that this is often only triggered if an attempt to write generates a genuine EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error. We can force that by attempting to create a variable larger than the remaining space. This should fail, but if it somehow succeeds we can then immediately delete it. I've tested this on the UEFI machines I have available, but I don't have a Samsung and so can't verify that it avoids the bricking problem. Signed-off-by:

commit 342cda29 upstream. When the Android firmware enables the audio interfaces in accessory mode, it always declares in the control interface's baInterfaceNr array that interfaces 0 and 1 belong to the audio function. However, the accessory interface itself, if also enabled, already is at index 0 and shifts the actual audio interface numbers to 1 and 2, which prevents the PCM streaming interface from being seen by the host driver. To get the PCM interface interface to work, detect when the descriptors point to the (for this driver useless) accessory interface, and redirect to the correct one. Reported-by:

commit bf593907 upstream. Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g. mfpvr). The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not working on the PowerNV platform. The reason is that on these machines, unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs. Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1 that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt. This fixes it by making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling program_check_interrupt(). With this, old programs that use no-longer implemented instructions such as dcba now work again. Signed-off-by:

commit df465abf upstream. Some systems that don't need wake-on-lan may choose to power down the chip on system standby. Upon resume, the power on causes the boot code to startup and initialize the hardware. On one new platform, this is causing the device to go into a bad state due to a race between the driver and boot code, once every several hundred resumes. The same race exists on open since we come up from a power on. This patch adds a wait for boot code signature at the beginning of tg3_init_hw() which is common to both cases. If there has not been a power-off or the boot code has already completed, the signature will be present and poll_fw() returns immediately. Also return immediately if the device does not have firmware. Signed-off-by:

md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and non-rebuilding drive completed it. commit 3056e3ae upstream. Without that fix, the following scenario could happen: - RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding - Drive A fails - WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_Uptodate. - r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled, md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive of raid1 - raid_end_bio_io() calls call_bio_endio() - As a result, in call_bio_endio(): if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state)) clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags); this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer. So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data is lost. [neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well] This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel. Signed-off-by:

commit 30dad309 upstream. When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally experience long delay or soft lockup. This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this. Signed-off-by:

commit cbab0e4e upstream. read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought into the swapcache yet. This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT. This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary, thus avoiding the subtle race window. Signed-off-by:

commit 24b8256a upstream. When booted in legacy mode device_init_wakeup() gets called by drivers/mfd/twl-core.c when the children are initialized. However, when booted using device tree, the children are created with of_platform_populate() instead add_children(). This means that the RTC driver will not have device_init_wakeup() set, and we need to call it from the driver probe like RTC drivers typically do. Without this we cannot test PM wake-up events on omaps for cases where there may not be any physical wake-up event. Signed-off-by:

commit 03f47e88 upstream. If a new logical drive is added and the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl is invoked (as is normal with the Array Configuration Utility) the process will hang as below. It attempts to acquire the same mutex twice, once in do_ioctl() and once in cciss_unlocked_open(). The BKL was recursive, the mutex isn't. Linux version 3.10.0-rc2 (scameron@localhost.localdomain) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri May 24 14:32:12 CDT 2013 [...] acu D 0000000000000001 0 3246 3191 0x00000080 Call Trace: schedule+0x29/0x70 schedule_preempt_disabled+0xe/0x10 __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x17b/0x220 mutex_lock+0x2b/0x50 cciss_unlocked_open+0x2f/0x110 [cciss] __blkdev_get+0xd3/0x470 blkdev_get+0x5c/0x1e0 register_disk+0x182/0x1a0 add_disk+0x17c/0x310 cciss_add_disk+0x13a/0x170 [cciss] cciss_update_drive_info+0x39b/0x480 [cciss] rebuild_lun_table+0x258/0x370 [cciss] cciss_ioctl+0x34f/0x470 [cciss] do_ioctl+0x49/0x70 [cciss] __blkdev_driver_ioctl+0x28/0x30 blkdev_ioctl+0x200/0x7b0 block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 do_vfs_ioctl+0x89/0x350 SyS_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b This mutex usage was added into the ioctl path when the big kernel lock was removed. As it turns out, these paths are all thread safe anyway (or can easily be made so) and we don't want ioctl() to be single threaded in any case. Signed-off-by:

commit f000cfdd upstream. audit_log_start() does wait_for_auditd() in a loop until audit_backlog_wait_time passes or audit_skb_queue has a room. If signal_pending() is true this becomes a busy-wait loop, schedule() in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE won't block. Thanks to Guy for fully investigating and explaining the problem. (akpm: that'll cause the system to lock up on a non-preemptible uniprocessor kernel) (Guy: "Our customer was in fact running a uniprocessor machine, and they reported a system hang.") Signed-off-by:

commit cf7df378 upstream. We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16 minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit f96972f2 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()"). The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot. This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu command line parameter. Signed-off-by:
