commit 838f4279 upstream. The ath9k commit 2ef16755 (ath9k: fix signal strength reporting issues) fixed an issue where the reported per-frame signal strength reported to mac80211 was being overwritten with an internal average. The same issue is also present in ath9k_htc. In addition to preventing the driver from overwriting the value, this commit also ensures that the internal average (which is used for ANI) only tracks beacons of the AP that we're connected to.

commit 58ebb34c upstream. Create_stripe_zones returns an error slightly differently to raid0_run and to raid0_takeover_*. The error returned used by the second was wrong and an error would result in mddev->private being set to NULL and sooner or later a crash. So never return NULL, return ERR_PTR(err), not NULL from create_stripe_zones. This bug has been present since 2.6.35 so the fix is suitable for any kernel since then.

commit a6468539 upstream. You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you. So: disable setting of the available size on each device for RAID0 and Linear devices. This must not change as doing so can change the effective layout of data. Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate, but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes. As the device sizes cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be safe. Without this change: mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max then read to the end of the array can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array. These bugs have been present ever since it became possible to resize any device, which is a long time. So the fix is suitable for any -stable kerenl.

As we can see, the instruction triggering the exception is the "vmov" instruction, and we emulate the "vsub.f32 s4, s3, s2" but fail to properly take account of the FPEXC_FP2V flag in FPEXC. This is because the test for the second instruction register being valid is bogus, and will always skip emulation of the second instruction.

commit a9a6b52e upstream. If the socket is full, we're better off just waiting until it empties, or until the connection is broken. The reason why we generally don't want to time out is that the call to xprt->ops->release_xprt() will trigger a connection reset, which isn't helpful... Let's make an exception for soft RPC calls, since they have to provide timeout guarantees.

commit 5a7a613a upstream. Commit 73ca1001 broke the code that prevents the client from deleting a silly renamed dentry. This affected "delete on last close" semantics as after that commit, nothing prevented removal of silly-renamed files. As a result, a process holding a file open could easily get an ESTALE on the file in a directory where some other process issued 'rm -rf some_dir_containing_the_file' twice. Before the commit, any attempt at unlinking silly renamed files would fail inside may_delete() with -EBUSY because of the DCACHE_NFSFS_RENAMED flag. The following testcase demonstrates the problem: tail -f /nfsmnt/dir/file & rm -rf /nfsmnt/dir rm -rf /nfsmnt/dir # second removal does not fail, 'tail' process receives ESTALE The problem with the above commit is that it unhashes the old and new dentries from the lookup path, even in the normal case when a signal is not encountered and it would have been safe to call d_move. Unfortunately the old dentry has the special DCACHE_NFSFS_RENAMED flag set on it. Unhashing has the side-effect that future lookups call d_alloc(), allocating a new dentry without the special flag for any silly-renamed files. As a result, subsequent calls to unlink silly renamed files do not fail but allow the removal to go through. This will result in ESTALE errors for any other process doing operations on the file. To fix this, go back to using d_move on success. For the signal case, it's unclear what we may safely do beyond d_drop.

commit bbfa57c0 upstream. If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count. Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore. By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush request but we return -EROFS for other writes. We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors. This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.

commit 1cba0cdf upstream. __btrfs_close_devices() clones btrfs device structs with memcpy(). Some of the fields in the clone are reinitialized, but it's missing to init io_lock. In mainline this goes unnoticed, but on RT it leaves the plist pointing to the original about to be freed lock struct. Initialize io_lock after cloning, so no references to the original struct are left.

commit 89a4e48f upstream. Commit 968dee77: "ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater than 0" introduced a regression in v3.5.1/v3.6-rc1 which caused kernel crashes when users ran run "rm -rf" on large directory hierarchy on ext4 filesystems on RAID devices: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 Process rm (pid: 18229, threadinfo ffff8801276bc000, task ffff880123631710) Call Trace: [<ffffffff81236483>] ? __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata+0x83/0x110 [<ffffffff812353d3>] ext4_ext_truncate+0x193/0x1d0 [<ffffffff8120a8cf>] ? ext4_mark_inode_dirty+0x7f/0x1f0 [<ffffffff81207e05>] ext4_truncate+0xf5/0x100 [<ffffffff8120cd51>] ext4_evict_inode+0x461/0x490 [<ffffffff811a1312>] evict+0xa2/0x1a0 [<ffffffff811a1513>] iput+0x103/0x1f0 [<ffffffff81196d84>] do_unlinkat+0x154/0x1c0 [<ffffffff8118cc3a>] ? sys_newfstatat+0x2a/0x40 [<ffffffff81197b0b>] sys_unlinkat+0x1b/0x50 [<ffffffff816135e9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 8b 4d 20 0f b7 41 02 48 8d 04 40 48 8d 04 81 49 89 45 18 0f b7 49 02 48 83 c1 01 49 89 4d 00 e9 ae f8 ff ff 0f 1f 00 49 8b 45 28 <48> 8b 40 28 49 89 45 20 e9 85 f8 ff ff 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 RIP [<ffffffff81233164>] ext4_ext_remove_space+0xa34/0xdf0 This could be reproduced as follows: The problem in commit 968dee77 was that caused the variable 'i' to be left uninitialized if the truncate required more space than was available in the journal.

commit 968dee77 upstream. Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return value of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions: a) if there are no more indexes to process. b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1". In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of the last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the number of valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will remain as it is and ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the required blocks are not yet removed. This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing the extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from the particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required and continue backward until done.

commit 5f95d21f upstream. This commit rewrites ext4 punch hole implementation to use ext4_ext_remove_space() instead of its home gown way of doing this via ext4_ext_map_blocks(). There are several reasons for changing this. Firstly it is quite non obvious that punching hole needs to ext4_ext_map_blocks() to punch a hole, especially given that this function should map blocks, not unmap it. It also required a lot of new code in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Secondly the design of it is not very effective. The reason is that we are trying to punch out blocks in ext4_ext_punch_hole() in opposite direction than in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() which causes the ext4_ext_rm_leaf() to iterate through the whole tree from the end to the start to find the requested extent for every extent we are going to punch out. And finally the current implementation does not use the existing code, but bring a lot of new code, which is IMO unnecessary since there already is some infrastructure we can use. Specifically ext4_ext_remove_space(). This commit changes ext4_ext_remove_space() to accept 'end' parameter so we can not only truncate to the end of file, but also remove the space in the middle of the file (punch a hole). Moreover, because the last block to punch out, might be in the middle of the extent, we have to split the extent at 'end + 1' so ext4_ext_rm_leaf() can easily either remove the whole fist part of split extent, or change its size. ext4_ext_remove_space() is then used to actually remove the space (extents) from within the hole, instead of ext4_ext_map_blocks(). Note that this also fix the issue with punch hole, where we would forget to remove empty index blocks from the extent tree, resulting in double free block error and file system corruption. This is simply because we now use different code path, where this problem does not exist. This has been tested with fsx running for several days and xfstests, plus xfstest #251 with '-o discard' run on the loop image (which converts discard requestes into punch hole to the backing file). All of it on 1K and 4K file system block size.

commit d7402698 upstream. To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

commit 1cc684ab upstream. As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which triggers request_module(). Say, it can simply call sys_socket(). This in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM. oom-killer correctly chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the TIF_MEMDIE task T. Make __request_module() killable. The only necessary change is that call_modprobe() should kmalloc argv and module_name, they can't live in the stack if we use UMH_KILLABLE. This memory is freed via call_usermodehelper_freeinfo()->cleanup.

commit d0bd587a upstream. Implement UMH_KILLABLE, should be used along with UMH_WAIT_EXEC/PROC. The caller must ensure that subprocess_info->path/etc can not go away until call_usermodehelper_freeinfo(). call_usermodehelper_exec(UMH_KILLABLE) does wait_for_completion_killable. If it fails, it uses xchg(&sub_info->complete, NULL) to serialize with umh_complete() which does the same xhcg() to access sub_info->complete. If call_usermodehelper_exec wins, it can safely return. umh_complete() should get NULL and call call_usermodehelper_freeinfo(). Otherwise we know that umh_complete() was already called, in this case call_usermodehelper_exec() falls back to wait_for_completion() which should succeed "very soon". Note: UMH_NO_WAIT == -1 but it obviously should not be used with UMH_KILLABLE. We delay the neccessary cleanup to simplify the back porting.

commit cb7da022 upstream. Since commit 8871e99f ('asus-laptop: HRWS/HWRS typo'), module initialisation is very slow on the Asus UL30A. The HWRS method takes about 12 seconds to run, and subsequent initialisation also seems to be delayed. Since we don't really need the result, don't bother calling it on init. Those who are curious can still get the result through the 'infos' device attribute. Update the comment about HWRS in show_infos().

commit cfd75701 upstream. Speech synthesis beginners need a low speech rate, and trained people want a high speech rate. A medium speech rate is thus actually not a good default for neither. Since trained people will typically know how to change the rate, better default for a low speech rate, which beginners can grasp and learn how to increase it afterwards This was agreed with users on the speakup mailing list.

When backporting commit ebebd49a ('8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port') I took the next available port type number for PORT_BRCM_TRUMANAGE (22). However, the 8250 port type numbers are exposed to userland through the TIOC{G,S}SERIAL ioctls and so must remain stable. Redefine PORT_BRCM_TRUMANAGE as 25, matching mainline as of commit 85f02440. This leaves port types 22-24 within the valid range for 8250 but not implemented there. Change serial8250_verify_port() to specifically reject these and change serial8250_type() to return "unknown" for them (though I'm not sure why it would ever see them).

commit 720bb643 upstream. For some reason, when the lirc daemon learns that a usb remote control has been unplugged, it wants to read the sysfs attributes of the disappearing device. This is useful for uncovering transient inconsistencies, but less so for keeping the system running when such inconsistencies exist. Under some circumstances (like every time I unplug my dvb stick from my laptop), lirc catches an rc_dev whose raw event handler has been removed (presumably by ir_raw_event_unregister), and proceeds to interrogate the raw protocols supported by the NULL pointer. This patch avoids the NULL dereference, and ignores the issue of how this state of affairs came about in the first place. Version 2 incorporates changes recommended by Mauro Carvalho Chehab (-ENODEV instead of -EINVAL, and a signed-off-by).
