commit 693026ef upstream. When b43 gets build into the kernel and it should use bcma we have to ensure that bcma was also build into the kernel and not as a module. In this patch this is also done for SSB, although you can not build b43 without ssb support for now. This fixes a build problem reported by Randy Dunlap in 5187EB95.2060605@infradead.org Reported-By:

commit 7a87718d upstream. For some reason, a lot of port-multipliers have issues with softreset. SIMG [34]7x series port-multipliers have been quite erratic in this regard. I recall that it was better with some firmware revisions and the current list of quirks worked fine for a while. I think it got worse with later firmwares or maybe my test coverage wasn't good enough. Anyways, HPA is reporting that his 3726 setup suffers SRST failures and then the PMP gets confused and fails to probe the last port. The hope was that we try to stick to the standard as much as possible and soonish the PMPs and their firmwares will improve in quality, so the quirk list was kept to minimum. Well, it seems like that's never gonna happen. Let's set NO_SRST for all [34]7x PMPs so that whatever remaining userbase of the device suffer the least. Maybe we should do the same for 57xx's but unfortunately I don't have any device left to test and I'm not even sure 57xx's have ever been made widely available, so let's leave those alone for now.

commit 12a7ad3b upstream. Function valid_io_request() should verify the entire request are within the zram device address range. Otherwise it may cause invalid memory access when accessing/modifying zram->meta->table[index] because the 'index' is out of range. Then it may access non-exist memory, randomly modify memory belong to other subsystems, which is hard to track down. Signed-off-by:

commit 57ab0485 upstream. zram_slot_free_notify() is free-running without any protection from concurrent operations. So there are race conditions between zram_bvec_read()/zram_bvec_write() and zram_slot_free_notify(), and possible consequences include: 1) Trigger BUG_ON(!handle) on zram_bvec_write() side. 2) Access to freed pages on zram_bvec_read() side. 3) Break some fields (bad_compress, good_compress, pages_stored) in zram->stats if the swap layer makes concurrently call to zram_slot_free_notify(). So enhance zram_slot_free_notify() to acquire writer lock on zram->lock before calling zram_free_page(). Signed-off-by:

commit 6030ea9b upstream. Memory for zram->disk object may have already been freed after returning from destroy_device(zram), then it's unsafe for zram_reset_device(zram) to access zram->disk again. We can't solve this bug by flipping the order of destroy_device(zram) and zram_reset_device(zram), that will cause deadlock issues to the zram sysfs handler. So fix it by holding an extra reference to zram->disk before calling destroy_device(zram). Signed-off-by:

commit 9edf7d75 upstream. Commit 64deb6ef "[SCSI] zfcp: Use status_read_buf_num provided by FCP channel" started using a value returned by the channel but only evaluated the value if the fabric link is up. Commit 8d88cf3f "[SCSI] zfcp: Update status read mempool" introduced mempool resizings based on the above value. On setting an FCP device online for the very first time since boot, a new zeroed adapter object is allocated. If the link is down, the number of status read requests remains zero. Since just the config data exchange is incomplete, we proceed with adapter open recovery. However, we unconditionally call mempool_resize with adapter->stat_read_buf_num == 0 in this case. This causes a kernel message "kernel BUG at mm/mempool.c:131!" in process "zfcperp<FCP-device-bus-ID>" with last function mempool_resize in Krnl PSW and zfcp_erp_thread in the Call Trace. Don't evaluate channel values which are invalid on link down. The number of status read requests is always valid, evaluated, and set to a positive minimum greater than zero. The adapter open recovery can proceed and the channel has status read buffers to inform us on a future link up event. While we are not aware of any other code path that could result in mempool resize attempts of size zero, we still also initialize the number of status read buffers to be posted to a static minimum number on adapter object allocation.

commit 5fea4291 upstream. Commit 86a9668a "[SCSI] zfcp: support for hardware data router" reduced the initial block queue limits in the scsi_host_template to the absolute minimum and adjusted them later on. However, the adjustment was too late for the BSG devices of Scsi_Host and fc_host. Therefore, ioctl(..., SG_IO, ...) with request or response size > 4kB to a BSG device of an fc_host or a Scsi_Host fails with EINVAL. As a result, users of such ioctl such as HBA_SendCTPassThru() in libzfcphbaapi return with error HBA_STATUS_ERROR. Initialize the block queue limits in zfcp_scsi_host_template to the greatest common denominator (GCD). While we cannot exploit the slightly enlarged maximum request size with data router, this should be neglectible. Doing so also avoids running into trouble after live guest relocation (LGR) / migration from a data router FCP device to an FCP device that does not support data router. In that case, zfcp would figure out the new limits on adapter recovery, but the fc_host and Scsi_Host (plus in fact all sdevs) still exist with the old and now too large queue limits. It should also OK, not to use half the size as in the DIX case, because fc_host and Scsi_Host do not transport FCP requests including SCSI commands using protection data. Signed-off-by:

commit f76ccaac upstream. FCP device remains in status ERP_FAILED when device is switched online or adapter recovery is triggered while link to SAN is down. When Exchange Configuration Data command returns the FSF status FSF_EXCHANGE_CONFIG_DATA_INCOMPLETE it aborts the exchange process. The only retries are done during the common error recovery procedure (i.e. max. 3 retries with 8sec sleep between) and remains in status ERP_FAILED with QDIO down. This commit reverts the commit 0df13847 (zfcp: Fix adapter activation on link down). When FSF status FSF_EXCHANGE_CONFIG_DATA_INCOMPLETE is received the adapter recovery will be finished without any retries. QDIO will be up now and status changes such as LINK UP will be received now.

The workaround introduced by commit e5195c1f 'r8169: fix 8168evl frame padding.' upstream was incorrect and was entirely replaced in commit b423e9ae 'r8169: fix offloaded tx checksum for small packets.' On the 3.2.y branch, the first commit has effectively been applied twice: the first time by itself, and the second time in commit 3cf40360 which squashed the two upstream commits together. That left us with both the incorrect and the correct workaround in place. Remove the incorrect one. Signed-off-by:

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:

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 764bcbc5 upstream. __kvm_set_xcr function does the CPL check when set xcr. __kvm_set_xcr is called in two flows, one is invoked by guest, call stack shown as below, handle_xsetbv(or xsetbv_interception) kvm_set_xcr __kvm_set_xcr the other one is invoked by host, for example during system reset: kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_xcrs __kvm_set_xcr The former does need the CPL check, but the latter does not.
