commit 7c629401 upstream. In commit 33511b15 ("rtlwifi: add support to send beacon frame"), the mechanism for sending beacons was established. That patch works correctly for rtl8192cu, but there is a possibility of getting the following warnings in the PCI drivers: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2439 at net/mac80211/driver-ops.h:12 ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x179/0x1d0 [mac80211]() wlp5s0: Failed check-sdata-in-driver check, flags: 0x0 The warning is followed by a NULL pointer dereference as follows: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000006 IP: [<ffffffffc073998e>] rtl_get_tcb_desc+0x5e/0x760 [rtlwifi] This problem was reported at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/138645, but no solution was found at that time. The problem was also reported at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9744 and this solution was developed and tested there. The USB driver works with a NULL final argument in the adapter_tx() callback; however, the PCI drivers need a struct rtl_tcb_desc in that position.

commit c9fdec9f upstream. When the card is not owned by the PCIe bus, we need to acquire ownership first. This flow is implemented in iwl_pcie_prepare_card_hw. Because of a hardware bug, we need to disable link power management before we can request ownership otherwise the other user of the device won't get notified that we are requesting the device which will prevent us from acquire ownership. Same holds for the down flow where we need to make sure that any other potential user is notified that the driver is going down. Signed-off-by:

commit 00a2916f upstream. A recent fix to the shadow timestamp inadvertly broke the running time accounting. We must not update the running timestamp if we fail to schedule the event, the event will not have ran. This can (and did) result in negative total runtime because the stopped timestamp was before the running timestamp (we 'started' but never stopped the event -- because it never really started we didn't have to stop it either).

commit fed66e2c upstream. Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for inherited events. So fix that. Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC, which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is freed and state is updated. Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use the parent's fasync, as that will be updated. Reported-and-Tested-by:

commit 5d5cd85f upstream. Fixes commit eae79b4f ("rsi: fix memory leak in rsi_load_ta_instructions()") which stopped the driver from functioning. Firmware data has been allocated using vmalloc(), resulting in memory that cannot be used for DMA. Hence the firmware was first copied to a buffer allocated with kmalloc() in the original code. This patch reverts the commit and only calls "kfree()" to release the buffer after sending the data. This fixes the memory leak without breaking the driver. Add a comment to the kmemdup() calls to explain why this is done, and abort if memory allocation fails. Tested on a Topic Miami-Florida board which contains the rsi SDIO chip. Also added the same kfree() call to the USB glue driver. This was not tested on actual hardware though, as I only have the SDIO version.

commit 7b076750 upstream. We should consider info->feature_persistent when adding indirect page to list info->indirect_pages, else the BUG_ON() in blkif_free() would be triggered. When we are using persistent grants the indirect_pages list should always be empty because blkfront has pre-allocated enough persistent pages to fill all requests on the ring. Acked-by:

commit b93028c9 upstream. Clocks 0 to 31 are on CKENA, and not CKENB. The clock register names were inadequately inverted. As a consequence, all clock operations were happening on CKENB, because almost all but 2 clocks are on CKENA. As the clocks were activated by the bootloader in the former tests, it escaped the testing that the wrong clock gate was manipulated. The error was revealed by changing the pxa3xx-nand driver to a module, where upon unloading, the wrong clock was disabled in CKENB.

commit 3ed1f8a9 upstream. sem_lock() did not properly pair memory barriers: !spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() are both only control barriers. The code needs an acquire barrier, otherwise the cpu might perform read operations before the lock test. As no primitive exists inside <include/spinlock.h> and since it seems noone wants another primitive, the code creates a local primitive within ipc/sem.c. With regards to -stable: The change of sem_wait_array() is a bugfix, the change to sem_lock() is a nop (just a preprocessor redefinition to improve the readability). The bugfix is necessary for all kernels that use sem_wait_array() (i.e.: starting from 3.10). Signed-off-by:

commit 602b8593 upstream. The current semaphore code allows a potential use after free: in exit_sem we may free the task's sem_undo_list while there is still another task looping through the same semaphore set and cleaning the sem_undo list at freeary function (the task called IPC_RMID for the same semaphore set). For example, with a test program [1] running which keeps forking a lot of processes (which then do a semop call with SEM_UNDO flag), and with the parent right after removing the semaphore set with IPC_RMID, and a kernel built with CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, you can easily see something like the following in the kernel log: Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-64 start=ffff88003b45c1c0, len=64 000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkk.kkkkkkk 010: ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....kkkk........

The patch here fixes the race against freeary, by acquiring or waiting on the sem_undo_list lock as necessary (exit_sem can race with freeary, while freeary sets un->semid to -1 and removes the same sem_undo from list_proc or when it removes the last sem_undo).

commit 8fcd461d upstream. Currently, preprocess_stateid_op calls nfs4_check_olstateid which verifies that the open stateid corresponds to the current filehandle in the call by calling nfs4_check_fh. If the stateid is a NFS4_DELEG_STID however, then no such check is done. This could cause incorrect enforcement of permissions, because the nfsd_permission() call in nfs4_check_file uses current the current filehandle, but any subsequent IO operation will use the file descriptor in the stateid. Move the call to nfs4_check_fh into nfs4_check_file instead so that it can be done for all stateid types. Signed-off-by:

commit 3c00cb5e upstream. This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a positive si_code value. The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_to_user. copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits of si_code. This fixes the following information leaks: x86: 8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32. (si_code = __SI_CHLD) x86: 100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1) sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = any) parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code to a different process. These bugs are also fixed for consistency. Signed-off-by:

Just checking the value of si_code is insufficient because the same si_code value is shared between multiple signals. This is solved by checking the value of si_signo in addition to si_code.

The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384e ("memcg: prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs was specified. The code has been changed by c3b94f44 ("memcg: further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the __GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs code. But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away. ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily submit the bio. Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes. Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2) before we go to wait on the writeback. The page fault path, which is the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic. As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem. Moreover he notes: : For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion : which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The : writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten : extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on : page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not : safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.

So an unsuccessful probe lead to enabling the regulator which was actually not needed because the device was not enabled. Additionally each deferred probe lead to increase of regulator enable count so it would not be effectively disabled during removal of the device. Test HW: Exynos4412 - Trats2 board Signed-off-by:

commit 073e570d upstream. It turns out that only Dell laptops have the separate button bits for v2 dualpoint sticks and that commit 92bac83d ("Input: alps - non interleaved V2 dualpoint has separate stick button bits") causes regressions on Toshiba laptops. This commit adds a check for Dell laptops to the code for handling these extra button bits, fixing this regression. This patch has been tested on a Dell Latitude D620 to make sure that it does not reintroduce the original problem. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit bd4aaf8f upstream. A DM regression on 32 bit systems was reported against v4.2-rc3 here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/29/401 Fix this by reverting both commit 1c220c69 ("dm: fix casting bug in dm_merge_bvec()") and 148e51ba ("dm: improve documentation and code clarity in dm_merge_bvec"). This combined revert is done to eliminate the possibility of a partial revert in stable@ kernels. In hindsight the correct fix, at the time 1c220c69 was applied to fix the regression that 148e51ba introduced, should've been to simply revert 148e51ba. Reported-by:

commit 423f04d6 upstream. raid1_end_read_request() assumes that the In_sync bits are consistent with the ->degaded count. raid1_spare_active updates the In_sync bit before the ->degraded count and so exposes an inconsistency, as does error() So extend the spinlock in raid1_spare_active() and error() to hide those inconsistencies. This should probably be part of Commit: 34cab6f4 ("md/raid1: fix test for 'was read error from last working device'.") as it addresses the same issue. It fixes the same bug and should go to -stable for same reasons. Fixes: 76073054 ("md/raid1: clean up read_balance.") Signed-off-by:

commit 32e5a2a2 upstream. When using a large volume, for example 9T volume with 2T already used, frequent creation of small files with O_DIRECT when the IO is not cluster aligned may clear sectors in the wrong place. This will cause filesystem corruption. This is because p_cpos is a u32. When calculating the corresponding sector it should be converted to u64 first, otherwise it may overflow. Signed-off-by:

commit 209f7512 upstream. The "BUG_ON(list_empty(&osb->blocked_lock_list))" in ocfs2_downconvert_thread_do_work can be triggered in the following case: ocfs2dc has firstly saved osb->blocked_lock_count to local varibale processed, and then processes the dentry lockres. During the dentry put, it calls iput and then deletes rw, inode and open lockres from blocked list in ocfs2_mark_lockres_freeing. And this causes the variable `processed' to not reflect the number of blocked lockres to be processed, which triggers the BUG. Signed-off-by:

commit de54b9ac upstream. A while back, the message queue implementation in the kernel was improved to use btrees to speed up retrieval of messages, in commit d6629859 ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv"). That patch introducing the improved kernel handling of message queues (using btrees) has, as a by-product, changed the meaning of the QSIZE field in the pseudo-file created for the queue. Before, this field reflected the size of the user-data in the queue. Since, it also takes kernel data structures into account. For example, if 13 bytes of user data are in the queue, on my machine the file reports a size of 61 bytes. There was some discussion on this topic before (for example https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/1/115). Commenting on a th lkml, Michael Kerrisk gave the following background (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/16/74): The pseudofiles in the mqueue filesystem (usually mounted at /dev/mqueue) expose fields with metadata describing a message queue. One of these fields, QSIZE, as originally implemented, showed the total number of bytes of user data in all messages in the message queue, and this feature was documented from the beginning in the mq_overview(7) page. In 3.5, some other (useful) work happened to break the user-space API in a couple of places, including the value exposed via QSIZE, which now includes a measure of kernel overhead bytes for the queue, a figure that renders QSIZE useless for its original purpose, since there's no way to deduce the number of overhead bytes consumed by the implementation. (The other user-space breakage was subsequently fixed.) This patch removes the accounting of kernel data structures in the queue. Reporting the size of these data-structures in the QSIZE field was a breaking change (see Michael's comment above). Without the QSIZE field reporting the total size of user-data in the queue, there is no way to deduce this number. It should be noted that the resource limit RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is counted against the worst-case size of the queue (in both the old and the new implementation). Therefore, the kernel overhead accounting in QSIZE is not necessary to help the user understand the limitations RLIMIT imposes on the processes. Signed-off-by:

So the driver needs to export the I2C table and this be built into the module or udev won't have the necessary information to auto load the correct module when the device is added. Signed-off-by:
