      firmware loader: Fix the concurrent request_firmware() race for kref_get/put · 235db1e9
      Chuansheng Liu authored 
      commit bd9eb7fb upstream.

There is one race that both request_firmware() with the same
firmware name.

The race scenerio is as below:
CPU1                                                  CPU2
request_firmware() -->
_request_firmware_load() return err                   another request_firmware() is coming -->
_request_firmware_cleanup is called -->               _request_firmware_prepare -->
release_firmware --->                                 fw_lookup_and_allocate_buf -->
                                                      spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
...                                                   __fw_lookup_buf() return true
fw_free_buf() will be called -->                      ...
kref_put -->
decrease the refcount to 0
                                                      kref_get(&tmp->ref) ==> it will trigger warning
                                                                              due to refcount == 0
__fw_free_buf() -->
...                                                   spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
list_del(&buf->list)
spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
kfree(buf)
                                                      After that, the freed buf will be used.

The key race is decreasing refcount to 0 and list_del is not protected together by
fwc->lock, and it is possible another thread try to get it between refcount==0
and list_del.

Fix it here to protect it together.

      firmware loader: Fix the race FW_STATUS_DONE is followed by class_timeout · 42b5489a
      Chuansheng Liu authored 
      commit ce2fcbd9 upstream.

There is a race as below when calling request_firmware():
CPU1                                   CPU2
write 0 > loading
mutex_lock(&fw_lock)
...
set_bit FW_STATUS_DONE                 class_timeout is coming
                                       set_bit FW_STATUS_ABORT
complete_all &completion
...
mutex_unlock(&fw_lock)

In this time, the bit FW_STATUS_DONE and FW_STATUS_ABORT are set,
and request_firmware() will return failure due to condition in
_request_firmware_load():
	if (!buf->size || test_bit(FW_STATUS_ABORT, &buf->status))
		retval = -ENOENT;

But from the above scenerio, it should be a successful requesting.
So we need judge if the bit FW_STATUS_DONE is already set before
calling fw_load_abort() in timeout function.

As Ming's proposal, we need change the timer into sched_work to
benefit from using &fw_lock mutex also.

      net: fix a race in gro_cell_poll() · e66e367b
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      [ Upstream commit f8e8f97c ]

Dmitry Kravkov reported packet drops for GRE packets since GRO support
was added.

There is a race in gro_cell_poll() because we call napi_complete()
without any synchronization with a concurrent gro_cells_receive()

Once bug was triggered, we queued packets but did not schedule NAPI
poll.

We can fix this issue using the spinlock protected the napi_skbs queue,
as we have to hold it to perform skb dequeue anyway.

As we open-code skb_dequeue(), we no longer need to mask IRQS, as both
producer and consumer run under BH context.

Bug added in commit c9e6bc64 (net: add gro_cells infrastructure)

      Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net · 2c68bc72
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks.

    In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code
    interpreter could access past the end of the address in the
    inet_request_sock.

    Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated
    properly at all.

    This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain
    kernel data structures.

    Fixes from Neal Cardwell.

 2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process
    of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols
    (specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).

    Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
    backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared.  It
    very much can be shared in this context.

    Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
    skb_copy_bits().

    Fix from Johannes Berg based upon a report by Eric Leblond.

      Revert "revert "Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD""" and associated damage · caf49191
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commits a5091539 and
d7c3b937.

This is a revert of a revert of a revert.  In addition, it reverts the
even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
original commits in linux-next.

It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all.  We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.

When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation.  That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.

So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake.  Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

      ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing · 1bf3751e
      Johannes Berg authored 
      ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the
RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify
the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation.
Use skb_copy_bits() to get the IP header and only pull in
everything later.

The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is
called from dev->rx_handler which can also get a shared SKB.

      Revert "mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended" · 31f8d42d
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 782fd304.

We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been
removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again.  Making this
commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag.

The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations
(because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure,
including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were
just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD")
was simply bogus.

      inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads · 5e1f5420
      Neal Cardwell authored 
      Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation
actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port
for such operations.

Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking
whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a
malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of
the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte
code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not
long enough to hold both.

      inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run() · f67caec9
      Neal Cardwell authored 
      Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional
and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do
prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
maintains as-is).

This change is needed for two reasons:

(1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
garbage or oops.

(2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
which this commit maintains).

      Add logic to validate INET_DIAG_BC_S_COND and INET_DIAG_BC_D_COND
operations.

Previously we did not validate the inet_diag_hostcond, address family,
address length, and prefix length. So a malicious user could make the
kernel read beyond the end of the bytecode array by claiming to have a
whole inet_diag_hostcond when the bytecode was not long enough to
contain a whole inet_diag_hostcond of the given address family. Or
they could make the kernel read up to about 27 bytes beyond the end of
a connection address by passing a prefix length that exceeded the
length of addresses of the given family.
