commit f259613a upstream. In rare circumstances, nfs_clone_server() of a v2 or v3 server can get an error between setting server->destory (to nfs_destroy_server), and calling nfs_start_lockd (which will set server->nlm_host). If this happens, nfs_clone_server will call nfs_free_server which will call nfs_destroy_server and thence nlmclnt_done(NULL). This causes the NULL to be dereferenced. So add a guard to only call nlmclnt_done() if ->nlm_host is not NULL. The other guards there are irrelevant as nlm_host can only be non-NULL if one of these flags are set - so remove those tests. (Thanks to Trond for this suggestion). This is suitable for any stable kernel since 2.6.25. Signed-off-by:

commit 67fad106 upstream. Eryu provided a test program that would segfault when attempting to read past the EOF on file that was opened O_DIRECT. The buffer given to the read() call was on the stack, and when he attempted to read past it it would scribble over the rest of the stack page. If we hit the end of the file on a DIO READ request, then we don't want to zero out the rest of the buffer. These aren't pagecache pages after all, and there's no guarantee that the buffers that were passed in represent entire pages. Reported-by:

commit 7d3e91a8 upstream. Commit 1f1ea6c2 "NFSv4: Fix buffer overflow checking in __nfs4_get_acl_uncached" accidently dropped the checking for too small result buffer length. If someone uses getxattr on "system.nfs4_acl" on an NFSv4 mount supporting ACLs, the ACL has not been cached and the buffer suplied is too short, we still copy the complete ACL, resulting in kernel and user space memory corruption.

commit 81d9bce5 upstream. Jian reported that the following sequence would leave "testfile" with corrupt data: # mount localhost:/export /mnt/nfs/ -o vers=3 # echo abc > /mnt/nfs/testfile; echo def >> /export/testfile; echo ghi >> /mnt/nfs/testfile # cat -v /export/testfile abc ^@^@^@^@ghi While there's no locking involved here, the operations are serialized, so CTO should prevent corruption. The first write to the file is fine and writes 4 bytes. The file is then extended on the server. When it's reopened a GETATTR is issued and the size change is noticed. This causes NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA to be set on the file. Because the file is opened for write only, nfs_want_read_modify_write() returns 0 to nfs_write_begin(). nfs_updatepage then calls nfs_write_pageuptodate() to see if it should extend the nfs_page to cover the whole page. NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA is still set on the file at that point, but that flag is ignored and nfs_pageuptodate erroneously extends the write to cover the whole page, with the write done on the server side filled in with zeroes. This patch just has that function check for NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA in addition to NFS_INO_REVAL_PAGECACHE. This fixes the bug, but looking over the code, I wonder if we might have a similar bug in nfs_revalidate_size(). The difference between those two flags is very subtle, so it seems like we ought to be checking for NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA in most of the places that we look for NFS_INO_REVAL_PAGECACHE. I believe this is regression introduced by commit 8d197a56. The code did check for NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA prior to that patch.

commit 6bdb5f21 upstream. If I mount an NFS v4.1 server to a single client multiple times and then run xfstests over each mountpoint I usually get the client into a state where recovery deadlocks. The server informs the client of a cb_path_down sequence error, the client then does a bind_connection_to_session and checks the status of the lease. I found that bind_connection_to_session sets the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING flag on the client, but this flag is never unset before nfs4_check_lease() reaches nfs4_proc_sequence(). This causes the client to deadlock, halting all NFS activity to the server. nfs4_proc_sequence() is only called by the state manager, so I can change it to run in privileged mode to bypass the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING check and avoid the deadlock.

commit 4f5f64cf upstream. At one point acpi_device_set_id() checks if acpi_device_hid(device) returns NULL, but that never happens, so system bus devices with an empty list of PNP IDs are given the dummy HID ("device") instead of the "system bus HID" ("LNXSYBUS").

commit 0d0cdb02 upstream. Commit 66fa7f21 "libata-acpi: improve ACPI disabling" introdcued the behaviour of disabling ATA ACPI if ata_acpi_on_devcfg failed the 2nd time, but commit 30dcf76a dropped this behaviour and this caused problem for Dimitris Damigos, where his laptop can not resume correctly. The bugzilla page for it is: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49331 The problem is, ata_dev_push_id will fail the 2nd time it is invoked, and due to disabling ACPI code is dropped, ata_acpi_on_devcfg which calls ata_dev_push_id will keep failing and eventually made the device disabled. This patch restores the original behaviour, if acpi failed the 2nd time, disable acpi functionality for the device(and we do not event need to add a debug message for this as it is still there ;-).

commit 0f9df939 upstream. The "video->minor = -1" assigment is done in V4L2 by video_register_device() so it is removed here. Now. uvc_function_bind() calls in error case uvc_function_unbind() for cleanup. The problem is that uvc_function_unbind() frees the uvc struct and uvc_bind_config() does as well in error case of usb_add_function(). Removing kfree() in usb_add_function() would make the patch smaller but it would look odd because the new allocated memory is not cleaned up. However it is not guaranteed that if we call usb_add_function() we also get to the bind function. Therefore the patch extracts the conditional cleanup from uvc_function_unbind() applies to uvc_function_bind(). uvc_function_unbind() now contains only the complete cleanup which is required once everything has been registrated.

commit f2a07f40 upstream. Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested. Signed-off-by:

commit ad4b3fb7 upstream. Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and (PageHead) is true, for tail pages. If this is indeed the intended behavior, which I doubt because it breaks cache cleaning on some ARM systems, then the nomenclature is highly problematic. This patch makes sure PageHead is only true for head pages and PageTail is only true for tail pages, and neither is true for non-compound pages. [ This buglet seems ancient - seems to have been introduced back in Apr 2008 in commit 6a1e7f77: "pageflags: convert to the use of new macros". And the reason nobody noticed is because the PageHead() tests are almost all about just sanity-checking, and only used on pages that are actual page heads. The fact that the old code returned true for tail pages too was thus not really noticeable. - Linus ] Signed-off-by:

commit c8b74c2f upstream. The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable memory. The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd4 Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or global dirtyable memory. Signed-off-by:

commit b92b1b89 upstream. Virtio devices may attempt to add descriptors to a virtqueue from atomic context using GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This is problematic because such allocations can fall outside of the lowmem mapping, causing virt_to_phys to report bogus physical addresses which are subsequently passed to userspace via the buffers for the virtual device. This patch masks out __GFP_HIGH and __GFP_HIGHMEM from the requested flags when allocating descriptors for a virtqueue. If an atomic allocation is requested and later fails, we will return -ENOSPC which will be handled by the driver. Signed-off-by:

commit 304ef4e8 upstream. To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the signal stack. This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task. This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe, ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

commit b66c5984 upstream. If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak into the command line. Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively. However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv areas. After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As such, we need to protect the changes to interp. This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or binfmt_misc does an allocation take place. For a proof of concept, see DoTest.sh from: http://www.halfdog.net/Security/2012/LinuxKernelBinfmtScriptStackDataDisclosure/Signed-off-by:

commit 891348ca upstream. We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap. That trap would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received. This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the end of the deactivate. I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead to a system to continue on to call die().

commit 576d28a7 upstream. Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the probe routine to fail because the request to user space times out. The original fix for b43legacy (commit a3ea2c76) moved the firmware load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous firmware loading. This method is OK when b43legacy is built as a module; however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel. This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to hold the work queue until that file is available. The remaining firmware files are read synchronously. Signed-off-by:
