[ Upstream commit b50edd78 ] I noticed tcpdump was giving funky timestamps for locally generated SYNACK messages on loopback interface. 11:42:46.938990 IP 127.0.0.1.48245 > 127.0.0.2.23850: S 945476042:945476042(0) win 43690 <mss 65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7> 20:28:58.502209 IP 127.0.0.2.23850 > 127.0.0.1.48245: S 3160535375:3160535375(0) ack 945476043 win 43690 <mss 65495,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7> This is because we need to clear skb->tstamp before entering lower stack, otherwise net_timestamp_check() does not set skb->tstamp.

[ Upstream commit 666b8051 ] On processing cumulative ACKs, the FRTO code was not checking the SACKed bit, meaning that there could be a spurious FRTO undo on a cumulative ACK of a previously SACKed skb. The FRTO code should only consider a cumulative ACK to indicate that an original/unretransmitted skb is newly ACKed if the skb was not yet SACKed. The effect of the spurious FRTO undo would typically be to make the connection think that all previously-sent packets were in flight when they really weren't, leading to a stall and an RTO.

commit b815fc12 upstream. This fixes a oops due to a double list add when adding a reject PDU for iscsit_allocate_iovecs allocation failures. The cmd has already been added to the conn_cmd_list in iscsit_setup_scsi_cmd, so this has us call iscsit_reject_cmd. Note that for ERL0 the reject PDU is not actually sent, so this patch is not completely tested. Just verified we do not oops. The problem is the add reject functions return -1 which is returned all the way up to iscsi_target_rx_thread which for ERL0 will drop the connection. Signed-off-by:

commit fb5ef9e7 upstream. In canon mode, the read buffer head will advance over the buffer tail if the input > 4095 bytes without receiving a line termination char. Discard additional input until a line termination is received. Before evaluating for overflow, the 'room' value is normalized for I_PARMRK and 1 byte is reserved for line termination (even in !icanon mode, in case the mode is switched). The following table shows the transform: actual buffer | 'room' value before overflow calc space avail | !I_PARMRK | I_PARMRK -------------------------------------------------- 0 | -1 | -1 1 | 0 | 0 2 | 1 | 0 3 | 2 | 0 4+ | 3 | 1 When !icanon or when icanon and the read buffer contains newlines, normalized 'room' values of -1 and 0 are clamped to 0, and 'overflow' is 0, so read_head is not adjusted and the input i/o loop exits (setting no_room if called from flush_to_ldisc()). No input is discarded since the reader does have input available to read which ensures forward progress. When icanon and the read buffer does not contain newlines and the normalized 'room' value is 0, then overflow and room are reset to 1, so that the i/o loop will process the next input char normally (except for parity errors which are ignored). Thus, erasures, signalling chars, 7-bit mode, etc. will continue to be handled properly. If the input char processed was not a line termination char, then the canon_head index will not have advanced, so the normalized 'room' value will now be -1 and 'overflow' will be set, which indicates the read_head can safely be reset, effectively erasing the last char processed. If the input char processed was a line termination, then the canon_head index will have advanced, so 'overflow' is cleared to 0, the read_head is not reset, and 'room' is cleared to 0, which exits the i/o loop (because the reader now have input available to read which ensures forward progress). Note that it is possible for a line termination to be received, and for the reader to copy the line to the user buffer before the input i/o loop is ready to process the next input char. This is why the i/o loop recomputes the room/overflow state with every input char while handling overflow. Finally, if the input data was processed without receiving a line termination (so that overflow is still set), the pty driver must receive a write wakeup. A pty writer may be waiting to write more data in n_tty_write() but without unthrottling here that wakeup will not arrive, and forward progress will halt. (Normally, the pty writer is woken when the reader reads data out of the buffer and more space become available). Signed-off-by:

commit 8e4934c6 upstream. When the receiver was enabled during startup, a character could have been in the FIFO when the UART get initially used. The driver configures the (receive) watermark level, and flushes the FIFO. However, the receive flag (RDRF) could still be set at that stage (as mentioned in the register description of UARTx_RWFIFO). This leads to an interrupt which won't be handled properly in interrupt mode: The receive interrupt function lpuart_rxint checks the FIFO count, which is 0 at that point (due to the flush during initialization). The problem does not manifest when using DMA to receive characters. Fix this situation by explicitly read the status register, which leads to clearing of the RDRF flag. Due to the flush just after the status flag read, a explicit data read is not to required. Signed-off-by:

commit 227a4fd8 upstream. When a device with an isochronous endpoint is plugged into the Intel xHCI host controller, and the driver submits multiple frames per URB, the xHCI driver will set the Block Event Interrupt (BEI) flag on all but the last TD for the URB. This causes the host controller to place an event on the event ring, but not send an interrupt. When the last TD for the URB completes, BEI is cleared, and we get an interrupt for the whole URB. However, under Intel xHCI host controllers, if the event ring is full of events from transfers with BEI set, an "Event Ring is Full" event will be posted to the last entry of the event ring, but no interrupt is generated. Host will cease all transfer and command executions and wait until software completes handling the pending events in the event ring. That means xHC stops, but event of "event ring is full" is not notified. As the result, the xHC looks like dead to user. This patch is to apply XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk to Intel xHC devices. And it should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contains the commit 69e848c2 ("Intel xhci: Support EHCI/xHCI port switching."). Signed-off-by:

commit 9425183d upstream. Linux xHCI driver doesn't report and handle port cofig error change. If Port Configure Error for root hub port occurs, CEC bit in PORTSC would be set by xHC and remains 1. This happends when the root port fails to configure its link partner, e.g. the port fails to exchange port capabilities information using Port Capability LMPs. Then the Port Status Change Events will be blocked until all status change bits(CEC is one of the change bits) are cleared('0') (refer to xHCI spec 4.19.2). Otherwise, the port status change event for this root port will not be generated anymore, then root port would look like dead for user and can't be recovered until a Host Controller Reset(HCRST). This patch is to check CEC bit in PORTSC in xhci_get_port_status() and set a Config Error in the return status if CEC is set. This will cause a ClearPortFeature request, where CEC bit is cleared in xhci_clear_port_change_bit().

commit 555828ef upstream. Return EPROBE_DEFER if Regulator returns EPROBE_DEFER If the Flexcan driver is built into kernel and a regulator is used to enable the CAN transceiver, the Flexcan driver may not use the regulator. When initializing the Flexcan device with a regulator defined in the device tree, but not initialized, the regulator subsystem returns EPROBE_DEFER, hence the Flexcan init fails. The solution for this is to return EPROBE_DEFER if regulator is not initialized and wait until the regulator is initialized. Signed-off-by:

commit 80313b30 upstream. The ASRock Q1900DC-ITX mainboard (Baytrail-D) hangs randomly in both BIOS and UEFI mode while rebooting unless reboot=pci is used. Add a quirk to reboot via the pci method. The problem is very intermittent and hard to debug, it might succeed rebooting just fine 40 times in a row - but fails half a dozen times the next day. It seems to be slightly less common in BIOS CSM mode than native UEFI (with the CSM disabled), but it does happen in either mode. Since I've started testing this patch in late january, rebooting has been 100% reliable. Most of the time it already hangs during POST, but occasionally it might even make it through the bootloader and the kernel might even start booting, but then hangs before the mode switch. The same symptoms occur with grub-efi, gummiboot and grub-pc, just as well as (at least) kernel 3.16-3.19 and 4.0-rc6 (I haven't tried older kernels than 3.16). Upgrading to the most current mainboard firmware of the ASRock Q1900DC-ITX, version 1.20, does not improve the situation. ( Searching the web seems to suggest that other Bay Trail-D mainboards might be affected as well. ) -- Signed-off-by:

commit 02d88b73 upstream. In omap_dma_start_desc the vdesc->node is removed from the virt-dma framework managed lists (to be precise from the desc_issued list). If a terminate_all comes before the transfer finishes the omap_desc will not be freed up because it is not in any of the lists and we stopped the DMA channel so the transfer will not going to complete. There is no special sequence for leaking memory when using cyclic (audio) transfer: with every start and stop of a cyclic transfer the driver leaks struct omap_desc worth of memory. Free up the allocated memory directly in omap_dma_terminate_all() since the framework will not going to do that for us. Signed-off-by:

commit c72efb65 upstream. From 1ebf33901ecc75d9496862dceb1ef0377980587c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 00:08:19 -0400 2f800fbd ("writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty") introduced account_page_redirty() which reverts stat updates for a redirtied page, making BDI_DIRTIED no longer monotonically increasing. bdi_update_write_bandwidth() uses the delta in BDI_DIRTIED as the basis for bandwidth calculation. While unlikely, since the above patch, the newer value may be lower than the recorded past value and underflow the bandwidth calculation leading to a wild result. Fix it by subtracing min of the old and new values when calculating delta. AFAIK, there hasn't been any report of it happening but the resulting erratic behavior would be non-critical and temporary, so it's possible that the issue is happening without being reported. The risk of the fix is very low, so tagged for -stable. Signed-off-by:

commit 7d70e154 upstream. global_update_bandwidth() uses static variable update_time as the timestamp for the last update but forgets to initialize it to INITIALIZE_JIFFIES. This means that global_dirty_limit will be 5 mins into the future on 32bit and some large amount jiffies into the past on 64bit. This isn't critical as the only effect is that global_dirty_limit won't be updated for the first 5 mins after booting on 32bit machines, especially given the auxiliary nature of global_dirty_limit's role - protecting against global dirty threshold's sudden dips; however, it does lead to unintended suboptimal behavior. Fix it. Fixes: c42843f2 ("writeback: introduce smoothed global dirty limit") Signed-off-by:

commit 746db944 upstream. When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to a non-RT scheduling class. I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels. Signed-off-by:

commit 9c8928f5 upstream. The assumption before this patch was that we don't need to run again the INIT firmware after the system booted. The INIT firmware runs calibrations which impact the physical layer's behavior. Users reported that it may be helpful to run these calibrations again every time the interface is brought up. The penatly is minimal, since the calibrations run fast. This fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94341Signed-off-by:

commit 8494057a upstream. Properly verify that the resulting page aligned end address is larger than both the start address and the length of the memory area requested. Both the start and length arguments for ib_umem_get are controlled by the user. A misbehaving user can provide values which will cause an integer overflow when calculating the page aligned end address. This overflow can cause also miscalculation of the number of pages mapped, and additional logic issues. Addresses: CVE-2014-8159 Signed-off-by:

Commit 355a901e ("tcp: make connect() mem charging friendly") changed tcp_send_syn_data() to perform an open-coded copy of the 'syn' skb rather than using skb_copy_expand(). The open-coded copy does not cover the skb_shared_info::gso_segs field, so in the new skb it is left set to 0. When this commit was backported into stable branches between 3.10.y and 3.16.7-ckty inclusive, it triggered the BUG() in tcp_transmit_skb(). Since Linux 3.18 the GSO segment count is kept in the tcp_skb_cb::tcp_gso_segs field and tcp_send_syn_data() does copy the tcp_skb_cb structure to the new skb, so mainline and newer stable branches are not affected. Set skb_shared_info::gso_segs to the correct value of 1. Signed-off-by:
