commit 0f3c42f5 upstream. Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular race between swapout and eviction. It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(), and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting the BUG. One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether, but previous attempts at that failed. So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual circumstances it remains a useful consistency check. Signed-off-by:

commit 9a5a8f19 upstream. oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004f ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might be selected as result. The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and not considering swap at all in such a case. Signed-off-by:

commit d55c4c61 upstream. When walking page tables we need to make sure that everything is within bounds of the ASCE limit of the task's address space. Otherwise we might calculate e.g. a pud pointer which is not within a pud and dereference it. So check against TASK_SIZE (which is the ASCE limit) before walking page tables. Reviewed-by:

commit fa968ee2 upstream. If user space is running in primary mode it can switch to secondary or access register mode, this is used e.g. in the clock_gettime code of the vdso. If a signal is delivered to the user space process while it has been running in access register mode the signal handler is executed in access register mode as well which will result in a crash most of the time. Set the address space control bits in the PSW to the default for the execution of the signal handler and make sure that the previous address space control is restored on signal return. Take care that user space can not switch to the kernel address space by modifying the registers in the signal frame. Signed-off-by:

commit 59fa6245 upstream. Siddhesh analyzed a failure in the take over of pi futexes in case the owner died and provided a workaround. See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14076 The detailed problem analysis shows: Futex F is initialized with PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT and PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP attributes. T1 lock_futex_pi(F); T2 lock_futex_pi(F); --> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated to T1. T1 exits --> exit_robust_list() runs --> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set. T3 lock_futex_pi(F); --> Succeeds due to the check for F's userspace TID field == 0 --> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the userspace TID field of futex F --> returns to user space T1 --> exit_pi_state_list() --> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes T2 via rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex) T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains real ownership of the pi_state --> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the userspace TID field of futex F --> returns to user space T3 --> observes inconsistent state This problem is independent of UP/SMP, preemptible/non preemptible kernels, or process shared vs. private. The only difference is that certain configurations are more likely to expose it. So as Siddhesh correctly analyzed the following check in futex_lock_pi_atomic() is the culprit: if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) { We check the userspace value for a TID value of 0 and take over the futex unconditionally if that's true. AFAICT this check is there as it is correct for a different corner case of futexes: the WAITERS bit became stale. Now the proposed change - if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) { + if (unlikely(ownerdied || + !(curval & (FUTEX_TID_MASK | FUTEX_WAITERS)))) { solves the problem, but it's not obvious why and it wreckages the "stale WAITERS bit" case. What happens is, that due to the WAITERS bit being set (T2 is blocked on that futex) it enforces T3 to go through lookup_pi_state(), which in the above case returns an existing pi_state and therefor forces T3 to legitimately fight with T2 over the ownership of the pi_state (via pi_state->mutex). Probelm solved! Though that does not work for the "WAITERS bit is stale" problem because if lookup_pi_state() does not find existing pi_state it returns -ERSCH (due to TID == 0) which causes futex_lock_pi() to return -ESRCH to user space because the OWNER_DIED bit is not set. Now there is a different solution to that problem. Do not look at the user space value at all and enforce a lookup of possibly available pi_state. If pi_state can be found, then the new incoming locker T3 blocks on that pi_state and legitimately races with T2 to acquire the rt_mutex and the pi_state and therefor the proper ownership of the user space futex. lookup_pi_state() has the correct order of checks. It first tries to find a pi_state associated with the user space futex and only if that fails it checks for futex TID value = 0. If no pi_state is available nothing can create new state at that point because this happens with the hash bucket lock held. So the above scenario changes to: T1 lock_futex_pi(F); T2 lock_futex_pi(F); --> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated to T1. T1 exits --> exit_robust_list() runs --> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set. T3 lock_futex_pi(F); --> Finds pi_state and blocks on pi_state->rt_mutex T1 --> exit_pi_state_list() --> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes it via rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex) T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains ownership of the pi_state --> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the userspace TID field of futex F --> returns to user space This covers all gazillion points on which T3 might come in between T1's exit_robust_list() clearing the TID field and T2 fixing it up. It also solves the "WAITERS bit stale" problem by forcing the take over. Another benefit of changing the code this way is that it makes it less dependent on untrusted user space values and therefor minimizes the possible wreckage which might be inflicted. As usual after staring for too long at the futex code my brain hurts so much that I really want to ditch that whole optimization of avoiding the syscall for the non contended case for PI futexes and rip out the maze of corner case handling code. Unfortunately we can't as user space relies on that existing behaviour, but at least thinking about it helps me to preserve my mental sanity. Maybe we should nevertheless :) Reported-and-tested-by:

commit a28ad42a upstream. This is a bugfix for a problem with the following symptoms: 1. A power cut happens 2. After reboot, we try to mount UBIFS 3. Mount fails with "No space left on device" error message UBIFS complains like this: UBIFS error (pid 28225): grab_empty_leb: could not find an empty LEB The root cause of this problem is that when we mount, not all LEBs are categorized. Only those which were read are. However, the 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' function assumes that all LEBs were categorized and 'c->freeable_cnt' is valid, which is a false assumption. This patch fixes the problem by teaching 'ubifs_find_free_leb_for_idx()' to always fall back to LPT scanning if no freeable LEBs were found. This problem was reported by few people in the past, but Brent Taylor was able to reproduce it and send me a flash image which cannot be mounted, which made it easy to hunt the bug. Kudos to Brent.

commit 10e44239 upstream. The recent change for USB-audio disconnection race fixes introduced a mutex deadlock again. There is a circular dependency between chip->shutdown_rwsem and pcm->open_mutex, depicted like below, when a device is opened during the disconnection operation: A. snd_usb_audio_disconnect() -> card.c::register_mutex -> chip->shutdown_rwsem (write) -> snd_card_disconnect() -> pcm.c::register_mutex -> pcm->open_mutex B. snd_pcm_open() -> pcm->open_mutex -> snd_usb_pcm_open() -> chip->shutdown_rwsem (read) Since the chip->shutdown_rwsem protection in the case A is required only for turning on the chip->shutdown flag and it doesn't have to be taken for the whole operation, we can reduce its window in snd_usb_audio_disconnect().

commit aee77e4a upstream. The r8169 driver currently limits the DMA burst for TX to 1024 bytes. I have a box where this prevents the interface from using the gigabit line to its full potential. This patch solves the problem by setting TX_DMA_BURST to unlimited. The box has an ASRock B75M motherboard with on-board RTL8168evl/8111evl (XID 0c900880). TSO is enabled. I used netperf (TCP_STREAM test) to measure the dependency of TX throughput on MTU. I did it for three different values of TX_DMA_BURST ('5'=512, '6'=1024, '7'=unlimited). This chart shows the results: http://michich.fedorapeople.org/r8169/r8169-effects-of-TX_DMA_BURST.png Interesting points: - With the current DMA burst limit (1024): - at the default MTU=1500 I get only 842 Mbit/s. - when going from small MTU, the performance rises monotonically with increasing MTU only up to a peak at MTU=1076 (908 MBit/s). Then there's a sudden drop to 762 MBit/s from which the throughput rises monotonically again with further MTU increases. - With a smaller DMA burst limit (512): - there's a similar peak at MTU=1076 and another one at MTU=564. - With unlimited DMA burst: - at the default MTU=1500 I get nice 940 Mbit/s. - the throughput rises monotonically with increasing MTU with no strange peaks. Notice that the peaks occur at MTU sizes that are multiples of the DMA burst limit plus 52. Why 52? Because: 20 (IP header) + 20 (TCP header) + 12 (TCP options) = 52 The Realtek-provided r8168 driver (v8.032.00) uses unlimited TX DMA burst too, except for CFG_METHOD_1 where the TX DMA burst is set to 512 bytes. CFG_METHOD_1 appears to be the oldest MAC version of "RTL8168B/8111B", i.e. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 in r8169. Not sure if this MAC version really needs the smaller burst limit, or if any other versions have similar requirements. Signed-off-by:

commit 069ddcda upstream. When the eCryptfs mount options do not include '-o acl', but the lower filesystem's mount options do include 'acl', the MS_POSIXACL flag is not flipped on in the eCryptfs super block flags. This flag is what the VFS checks in do_last() when deciding if the current umask should be applied to a newly created inode's mode or not. When a default POSIX ACL mask is set on a directory, the current umask is incorrectly applied to new inodes created in the directory. This patch ignores the MS_POSIXACL flag passed into ecryptfs_mount() and sets the flag on the eCryptfs super block depending on the flag's presence on the lower super block. Additionally, it is incorrect to allow a writeable eCryptfs mount on top of a read-only lower mount. This missing check did not allow writes to the read-only lower mount because permissions checks are still performed on the lower filesystem's objects but it is best to simply not allow a rw mount on top of ro mount. However, a ro eCryptfs mount on top of a rw mount is valid and still allowed. https://launchpad.net/bugs/1009207Signed-off-by:

However, the l2tp_eth_sess structure's dev pointer is left uncleared, and this results in l2tp_eth_delete() then attempting to unregister the same netdev later in the session teardown. This results in an oops. To avoid this, clear the session dev pointer in the error path. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 8f363b77 ] Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm can cause a divide by zero kernel oops. The division by zero occur in tcp_illinois_info() at: do_div(t, ca->cnt_rtt); where ca->cnt_rtt can become zero (when rtt_reset is called) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register tcp_illinois: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=illinois 2. Monitor internal TCP information via command "ss -i" # watch -d ss -i 3. Establish new TCP conn to machine Either it fails at the initial conn, or else it needs to wait for a loss or a reset. This is only related to reading stats. The function avg_delay() also performs the same divide, but is guarded with a (ca->cnt_rtt > 0) at its calling point in update_params(). Thus, simply fix tcp_illinois_info(). Function tcp_illinois_info() / get_info() is called without socket lock. Thus, eliminate any race condition on ca->cnt_rtt by using a local stack variable. Simply reuse info.tcpv_rttcnt, as its already set to ca->cnt_rtt. Function avg_delay() is not affected by this race condition, as its called with the socket lock.

[ Upstream commit 39707c2a ] Driver anchors the tx urbs and defers the urb submission if a transmit request comes when the interface is suspended. Anchoring urb increments the urb reference count. These deferred urbs are later accessed by calling usb_get_from_anchor() for submission during interface resume. usb_get_from_anchor() unanchors the urb but urb reference count remains same. This causes the urb reference count to remain non-zero after usb_free_urb() gets called and urb never gets freed. Hence call usb_put_urb() after anchoring the urb to properly balance the reference count for these deferred urbs. Also, unanchor these deferred urbs during disconnect, to free them up. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 6d772ac5 ] On some suspend/resume operations involving wimax device, we have noticed some intermittent memory corruptions in netlink code. Stéphane Marchesin tracked this corruption in netlink_update_listeners() and suggested a patch. It appears netlink_release() should use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() for the listeners structure as it may be used by other cpus using RCU protection. netlink_release() must set to NULL the listeners pointer when it is about to be freed. Also have to protect netlink_update_listeners() and netlink_has_listeners() if listeners is NULL. Add a nl_deref_protected() lockdep helper to properly document which locks protects us. Reported-by:

commit 6ce377af upstream. Commit 44396476 ("xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing them") in 3.0-rc1 introduced a regression when recovering log buffers that wrapped around the end of log. The second part of the log buffer at the start of the physical log was being read into the header buffer rather than the data buffer, and hence recovery was seeing garbage in the data buffer when it got to the region of the log buffer that was incorrectly read.
