commit f32393c9 upstream. The incorrect ordering of operations during cpu dlpar add results in invalid affinity for the cpu being added. The ibm,associativity property in the device tree is populated with all zeroes for the added cpu which results in invalid affinity mappings and all cpus appear to belong to node 0. This occurs because rtas configure-connector is called prior to making the rtas set-indicator calls. Phyp does not assign affinity information for a cpu until the rtas set-indicator calls are made to set the isolation and allocation state. Correct the order of operations to make the rtas set-indicator calls (done in dlpar_acquire_drc) before calling rtas configure-connector.

commit d2dc317d upstream. Currently it is possible to lose whole file system block worth of data when we hit the specific interaction with unwritten and delayed extents in status extent tree. The problem is that when we insert delayed extent into extent status tree the only way to get rid of it is when we write out delayed buffer. However there is a limitation in the extent status tree implementation so that when inserting unwritten extent should there be even a single delayed block the whole unwritten extent would be marked as delayed. At this point, there is no way to get rid of the delayed extents, because there are no delayed buffers to write out. So when a we write into said unwritten extent we will convert it to written, but it still remains delayed. When we try to write into that block later ext4_da_map_blocks() will set the buffer new and delayed and map it to invalid block which causes the rest of the block to be zeroed loosing already written data. For now we can fix this by simply not allowing to set delayed status on written extent in the extent status tree. Also add WARN_ON() to make sure that we notice if this happens in the future. This problem can be easily reproduced by running the following xfs_io. xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 4096 2048" \ -c "falloc 0 131072" \ -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 65536 2048" \ -c "fsync" /mnt/test/fff echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xdd 67584 2048" /mnt/test/fff This can be theoretically also reproduced by at random by running fsx, but it's not very reliable, though on machines with bigger page size (like ppc) this can be seen more often (especially xfstest generic/127) Signed-off-by:

commit 082a75da upstream. When we end I/O struct request with error, we need to pass obj_request->length as @nr_bytes so that the entire obj_request worth of bytes is completed. Otherwise block layer ends up confused and we trip on rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request->obj_request_count)); in rbd_img_obj_callback() due to more being true no matter what. We already do it in most cases but we are missing some, in particular those where we don't even get a chance to submit any obj_requests, due to an early -ENOMEM for example. A number of obj_request->xferred assignments seem to be redundant but I haven't touched any of obj_request->xferred stuff to keep this small and isolated.

commit 1c94e65c upstream. The OSS emulation in synth-emux helper has a potential AB/BA deadlock at the simultaneous closing and opening: close -> snd_seq_release() -> sne_seq_free_client() -> snd_seq_delete_all_ports(): takes client->ports_mutex -> port_delete() -> snd_emux_unuse(): takes emux->register_mutex open -> snd_seq_oss_open() -> snd_emux_open_seq_oss(): takes emux->register_mutex -> snd_seq_event_port_attach() -> snd_seq_create_port(): takes client->ports_mutex This patch addresses the deadlock by reducing the rance taking emux->register_mutex in snd_emux_open_seq_oss(). The lock is needed for the refcount handling, so move it locally. The calls in emux_seq.c are already with the mutex, thus they are replaced with the version without mutex lock/unlock. Signed-off-by:

commit 6befa9d8 upstream. Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed. When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway. Arnd quotation about driver historical background: "when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT" This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and 16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned. Signed-off-by:

commit 5c90c07b upstream. For systems with CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM=y and device_type = "serial"; property in DT of_serial.c driver maps and unmaps IRQ (because driver probe fails). Then a driver is called but irq mapping is not created that's why driver is failing again in again on request_irq(). Based on this use platform_get_irq() instead of platform_get_resource() which is doing irq_desc allocation and driver itself can request IRQ. Fix both xilinx serial drivers in the tree.

commit 0d3bba02 upstream. Phil and I found out a problem with commit: 7e860a6e ("cdc-acm: add sanity checks") It added some sanity checks to ignore potential garbage in CDC headers but also introduced a potential infinite loop. This can happen at the first loop iteration (elength = 0 in that case) if the description isn't a DT_CS_INTERFACE or later if 'buffer[0]' is zero. It should also be noted that the wrong length was being added to 'buffer' in case 'buffer[1]' was not a DT_CS_INTERFACE descriptor, since elength was assigned after that check in the loop. A specially crafted USB device could be used to trigger this infinite loop. Fixes: 7e860a6e ("cdc-acm: add sanity checks") Signed-off-by:

commit 35e9a9f9 upstream. This works around a issue with qnap iscsi targets not handling large IOs very well. The target returns: VPD INQUIRY: Block limits page (SBC) Maximum compare and write length: 1 blocks Optimal transfer length granularity: 1 blocks Maximum transfer length: 4294967295 blocks Optimal transfer length: 4294967295 blocks Maximum prefetch, xdread, xdwrite transfer length: 0 blocks Maximum unmap LBA count: 8388607 Maximum unmap block descriptor count: 1 Optimal unmap granularity: 16383 Unmap granularity alignment valid: 0 Unmap granularity alignment: 0 Maximum write same length: 0xffffffff blocks Maximum atomic transfer length: 0 Atomic alignment: 0 Atomic transfer length granularity: 0 and it is *sometimes* able to handle at least one IO of size up to 8 MB. We have seen in traces where it will sometimes work, but other times it looks like it fails and it looks like it returns failures if we send multiple large IOs sometimes. Also it looks like it can return 2 different errors. It will sometimes send iscsi reject errors indicating out of resources or it will send invalid cdb illegal requests check conditions. And then when it sends iscsi rejects it does not seem to handle retries when there are command sequence holes, so I could not just add code to try and gracefully handle that error code. The problem is that we do not have a good contact for the company, so we are not able to determine under what conditions it returns which error and why it sometimes works. So, this patch just adds a new black list flag to set targets like this to the old max safe sectors of 1024. The max_hw_sectors changes added in 3.19 caused this regression, so I also ccing stable.

commit 07b0e5d4 upstream. The emux-synth driver has a possible AB/BA mutex deadlock at unloading the emu10k1 driver: snd_emux_free() -> snd_emux_detach_seq(): mutex_lock(&emu->register_mutex) -> snd_seq_delete_kernel_client() -> snd_seq_free_client(): mutex_lock(®ister_mutex) snd_seq_release() -> snd_seq_free_client(): mutex_lock(®ister_mutex) -> snd_seq_delete_all_ports() -> snd_emux_unuse(): mutex_lock(&emu->register_mutex) Basically snd_emux_detach_seq() doesn't need a protection of emu->register_mutex as it's already being unregistered. So, we can get rid of this for avoiding the deadlock. Signed-off-by:

commit d0226082 upstream. Some models provide too long string for the shortname that has 32bytes including the terminator, and it results in a non-terminated string exposed to the user-space. This isn't too critical, though, as the string is stopped at the succeeding longname string. This patch fixes such entries by dropping "SB" prefix (it's enough to fit within 32 bytes, so far). Meanwhile, it also changes strcpy() with strlcpy() to make sure that this kind of problem won't happen in future, too. Signed-off-by:

commit 6829e274 upstream. Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() are always zeroed on Alpha, ARM (32bit), MIPS, PowerPC, x86/x86_64 and probably other architectures. It turned out that some drivers rely on this 'feature'. Allocated buffer might be also exposed to userspace with dma_mmap() call, so clearing it is desired from security point of view to avoid exposing random memory to userspace. This patch unifies dma_alloc_coherent() behavior on ARM64 architecture with other implementations by unconditionally zeroing allocated buffer. Signed-off-by:

commit cd4a4017 upstream. The only users of collect_mounts are in audit_tree.c In audit_trim_trees and audit_add_tree_rule the path passed into collect_mounts is generated from kern_path passed an audit_tree pathname which is guaranteed to be an absolute path. In those cases collect_mounts is obviously intended to work on mounted paths and if a race results in paths that are unmounted when collect_mounts it is reasonable to fail early. The paths passed into audit_tag_tree don't have the absolute path check. But are used to play with fsnotify and otherwise interact with the audit_trees, so again operating only on mounted paths appears reasonable. Avoid having to worry about what happens when we try and audit unmounted filesystems by restricting collect_mounts to mounts that appear in the mount tree. Signed-off-by:

commit 0c5ed61a upstream. Not only can EfiResetSystem() be used to reboot, it can also be used to power down machines. By and large, this functionality doesn't work very well across the range of EFI machines in the wild, so it should definitely only be used as a last resort. In an ideal world, this wouldn't be needed at all. Unfortunately, we're starting to see machines where EFI is the *only* reliable way to power down, and nothing else, not PCI, not ACPI, works. efi_poweroff_required() should be implemented on a per-architecture basis, since exactly when we should be using EFI runtime services is a platform-specific decision. There's no analogue for reboot because each architecture handles reboot very differently - the x86 code in particular is pretty complex. Patches to enable this for specific classes of hardware will be submitted separately. Tested-by:

commit 8562c99c upstream. Implement efi_reboot(), which is really just a wrapper around the EfiResetSystem() EFI runtime service, but it does at least allow us to funnel all callers through a single location. It also simplifies the callsites since users no longer need to check to see whether EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES are enabled. Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Tested-by:

commit 07841f9d upstream. When system is out of memory, refilling of RX buffers fails while the driver continue to pass the received packets to the kernel stack. At some point, when all RX buffers deplete, driver may fall into a sleep, and not recover when memory for new RX buffers is once again availible. This is because hardware does not have valid descriptors, so no interrupt will be generated for the driver to return to work in napi context. Fix it by schedule the napi poll function from stats_task delayed workqueue, as long as the allocations fail. Signed-off-by:

commit 42eab005 upstream. By default, the number of tx queues is limited by the number of online cpus in mlx4_en_get_profile(). However, this limit no longer holds after the ethtool .set_channels method has been called. In that situation, the driver may access invalid bits of certain cpumask variables when queue_index >= nr_cpu_ids. Signed-off-by:

commit a134f083 upstream. If we don't do that, then the poison value is left in the ->pprev backlink. This can cause crashes if we do a disconnect, followed by a connect(). Tested-by:
