commit 7ad228b1 upstream. When the pipe A force quirk is applied the code will attempt to grab a crtc mutex during intel_modeset_setup_hw_state(). If we're already holding all crtc mutexes this will obviously deadlock every time. So instead of using drm_modeset_lock_all() just grab the mode_config.mutex. This is enough to avoid the unlocked mutex warnings from certain lower level functions. The regression was introduced in: commit 02747664 Author: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Date: Mon Dec 2 11:08:06 2013 +0200 drm/i915: Take modeset locks around intel_modeset_setup_hw_state() Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> [danvet: Add cc: stable since the offending commit has that, too.] Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit e44ef891 upstream. The MPIDR contains specific bitfields(MPIDR.Aff{2..0}) which uniquely identify a CPU, in addition to some non-identifying information and reserved bits. The ARM cpu binding defines the 'reg' property to only contain the affinity bits, and any cpu nodes with other bits set in their 'reg' entry are skipped. As such it is not necessary to mask the phys_id with MPIDR_HWID_BITMASK, and doing so could lead to matching erroneous CPU nodes in the device tree. This patch removes the masking of the physical identifier.

commit fe433907 upstream. When the pl011 is being used for a console, pl011_console_write forces the control register (CR) to enable the UART for transmission and then restores this to the original value afterwards. It does this while holding the port lock. Unfortunately, when the uart is started or shutdown - say in response to userland using the serial device for a terminal - then this updates the control register without any locking. This means we can have pl011_console_write Save CR pl011_startup Initialise CR, e.g. enable receive pl011_console_write Restore old CR with receive not enabled this result is a serial port which doesn't respond to any input. A similar race in reverse could happen when the device is shutdown. We can fix these problems by taking the port lock when updating CR.

commit f92f455f upstream. {,set}page_address() are macros if WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL. If !WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL, they're plain C functions. If someone calls them with a void *, this pointer is auto-converted to struct page * if !WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL, but causes a build failure on architectures using WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL (arc, m68k and sparc64): drivers/md/bcache/bset.c: In function `__btree_sort': drivers/md/bcache/bset.c:1190: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer drivers/md/bcache/bset.c:1190: error: request for member `virtual' in something not a structure or union Convert them to static inline functions to fix this. There are already plenty of users of struct page members inside <linux/mm.h>, so there's no reason to keep them as macros.

commit 1cc03eb9 upstream. commit 5d8c71f9 md: raid5 crash during degradation Fixed a crash in an overly simplistic way which could leave R5_WriteError or R5_MadeGood set in the stripe cache for devices for which it is no longer relevant. When those devices are removed and spares added the flags are still set and can cause incorrect behaviour. commit 14a75d3e md/raid5: preferentially read from replacement device if possible. Fixed the same bug if a more effective way, so we can now revert the original commit.

commit b50c259e upstream. If we discover a bad block when reading we split the request and potentially read some of it from a different device. The code path of this has two bugs in RAID10. 1/ we get a spin_lock with _irq, but unlock without _irq!! 2/ The calculation of 'sectors_handled' is wrong, as can be clearly seen by comparison with raid1.c This leads to at least 2 warnings and a probable crash is a RAID10 ever had known bad blocks.

commit e8b84915 upstream. commit e875ecea md/raid10 record bad blocks as needed during recovery. added code to the "cannot recover this block" path to record a bad block rather than fail the whole recovery. Unfortunately this new case was placed *after* r10bio was freed rather than *before*, yet it still uses r10bio. This is will crash with a null dereference. So move the freeing of r10bio down where it is safe.

commit 8313b8e5 upstream. If an array is started degraded, and then the missing device is found it can be re-added and a minimal bitmap-based recovery will bring it fully up-to-date. If the array is read-only a recovery would not be allowed. But also if the array is read-only and the missing device was present very recently, then there could be no need for any recovery at all, so we simply include the device in the read-only array without any recovery. However... if the missing device was removed a little longer ago it could be missing some updates, but if a bitmap is present it will be conditionally accepted pending a bitmap-based update. We don't currently detect this case properly and will include that old device into the read-only array with no recovery even though it really needs a recovery. This patch keeps track of whether a bitmap-based-recovery is really needed or not in the new Bitmap_sync rdev flag. If that is set, then the device will not be added to a read-only array.

commit 70f2fe3a upstream. There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean. It is possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment construction, whereby the old data is overwritten. The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message: nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted: NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0 NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660) The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running. Although it is quite hard to reproduce. This is what happens: 1. The cleaner starts the segment construction 2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called 3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed 4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full 5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which allocates a new segment 6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3 7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message 8. Loop around and the collection starts again 9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active data and can be allocated at a later time 10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the segment and causes file system corruption This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

Commit 8456a648 changes the page structure so that the slab subsystem reuses the page->mapping field. The crash happens in the following way: * XFS allocates some memory from slab and issues a bio to read data into it. * the bio is sent to the loopback device. * lo_receive creates an actor and calls splice_direct_to_actor. * lo_splice_actor copies data to the target page. * lo_splice_actor calls flush_dcache_page because the page may be mapped by userspace. In that case we need to flush the kernel cache. * flush_dcache_page asks for the list of userspace mappings, however that page->mapping field is reused by the slab subsystem for a different purpose. This causes the crash. Note that other architectures without coherent caches (sparc, arm, mips) also call page_mapping from flush_dcache_page, so they may crash in the same way. This patch fixes this bug by testing if the page is a slab page in page_mapping and returning NULL if it is. The patch also fixes VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) that could happen in earlier kernels in the same scenario on architectures without cache coherence when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled - so it should be backported to stable kernels. In the old kernels, the function page_mapping is placed in include/linux/mm.h, so you should modify the patch accordingly when backporting it.

I was not able to recreate this via normal files. But I'm not sure they are safe. It may just be that the race window is much harder to hit. What seems to have happened (and what I have traced), is the file is being opened at the same time the file or directory is being deleted. As the dentry and inode locks are not held during the path walk, nor is the inodes ref counts being incremented, there is nothing saving these structures from being discarded except for an rcu_read_lock(). The rcu_read_lock() protects against freeing of the inode, but it does not protect freeing of the inode_security_struct. Now if the freeing of the i_security happens with a call_rcu(), and the i_security field of the inode is not changed (it gets freed as the inode gets freed) then there will be no issue here. (Linus Torvalds suggested not setting the field to NULL such that we do not need to check if it is NULL in the permission check). Note, this is a hack, but it fixes the problem at hand. A real fix is to restructure the destroy_inode() to call all the destructor handlers from the RCU callback. But that is a major job to do, and requires a lot of work. For now, we just band-aid this bug with this fix (it works), and work on a more maintainable solution in the future.

commit f9b0e058 upstream. Commit 4f8ad655 "writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()" added a condition to skip clean inode. However this is wrong in WB_SYNC_ALL mode because there we also want to wait for outstanding writeback on possibly clean inode. This was causing occasional data corruption issues on NFS because it uses sync_inode() to make sure all outstanding writes are flushed to the server before truncating the inode and with sync_inode() returning prematurely file was sometimes extended back by an outstanding write after it was truncated. So modify the test to also check for pages under writeback in WB_SYNC_ALL mode.

commit 2fac2b89 upstream. The body of i2c_parent_is_i2c_adapter() is currently guarded by I2C_MUX. It should be CONFIG_I2C_MUX instead. Among potentially other problems, this resulted in i2c_lock_adapter() only locking I2C mux child adapters, and not the parent adapter. In turn, this could allow inter-mingling of mux child selection and I2C transactions, which could result in I2C transactions being directed to the wrong I2C bus, and possibly even switching between busses in the middle of a transaction. One concrete issue caused by this bug was corrupted HDMI EDID reads during boot on the NVIDIA Tegra Seaboard system, although this only became apparent in recent linux-next, when the boot timing was changed just enough to trigger the race condition.

Can we > safely revert that new extra check? The two fundamental things I know we can not allow are: - A shared signal queue aka CLONE_THREAD. Because we compute the pid and uid of the signal when we place it in the queue. - Changing the pid and by extention pid_namespace of an existing process. From a parents perspective there is nothing special about the pid namespace, to deny CLONE_PARENT, because the parent simply won't know or care. From the childs perspective all that is special really are shared signal queues. User mode threading with CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND and tasks in different pid namespaces is almost certainly going to break because it is complicated. But shared signal handlers can look at per thread information to know which pid namespace a process is in, so I don't know of any reason not to support CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND threads at the kernel level. It would be absolutely stupid to implement but that is a different thing. So hmm. Because it can do no harm, and because it is a regression let's remove the CLONE_PARENT check and send it stable.

commit 41301ae7 upstream. Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> reported that commit e51db735 userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted caused a regression on mounting a new instance of proc in a mount namespace created with user namespace privileges, when binfmt_misc is mounted on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. This is an unintended regression caused by the absolutely bogus empty directory check in fs_fully_visible. The check fs_fully_visible replaced didn't even bother to attempt to verify proc was fully visible and hiding proc files with any kind of mount is rare. So for now fix the userspace regression by allowing directory with nlink == 1 as /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc has. I will have a better patch but it is not stable material, or last minute kernel material. So it will have to wait.

The symlink /proc/<pid>/ns/{ipc,mnt,net,pid,user,uts} point to dentries allocated with d_alloc_pseudo that we can mount, and that have interesting names printed out with d_dname. When these files are bind mounted /proc/mounts is not currently displaying the mount point correctly because d_dname is called instead of just displaying the path where the file is mounted. Solve this by adding an explicit check to distinguish mounted pseudo inodes and unmounted pseudo inodes. Unmounted pseudo inodes always use mount of their filesstem as the mnt_root in their path making these two cases easy to distinguish.

commit bee09ed9 upstream. On AMD family 10h we see following error messages while waking up from S3 for all non-boot CPUs leading to a failed IBS initialization: Enabling non-boot CPUs ... smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1 [Firmware Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu perf: IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1 process: Switch to broadcast mode on CPU1 CPU1 is up ... ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3 Reason for this is that during suspend the LVT offset for the IBS vector gets lost and needs to be reinialized while resuming. The offset is read from the IBSCTL msr. On family 10h the offset needs to be 1 as offset 0 is used for the MCE threshold interrupt, but firmware assings it for IBS to 0 too. The kernel needs to reprogram the vector. The msr is a readonly node msr, but a new value can be written via pci config space access. The reinitialization is implemented for family 10h in setup_ibs_ctl() which is forced during IBS setup. This patch fixes IBS setup after waking up from S3 by adding resume/supend hooks for the boot cpu which does the offset reinitialization. Marking it as stable to let distros pick up this fix.

commit 0ac9b1c2 upstream. Currently, group entity load-weights are initialized to zero. This admits some races with respect to the first time they are re-weighted in earlty use. ( Let g[x] denote the se for "g" on cpu "x". ) Suppose that we have root->a and that a enters a throttled state, immediately followed by a[0]->t1 (the only task running on cpu[0]) blocking: put_prev_task(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), t1) put_prev_entity(..., t1) check_cfs_rq_runtime(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) throttle_cfs_rq(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) Then, before unthrottling occurs, let a[0]->b[0]->t2 wake for the first time: enqueue_task_fair(rq[0], t2) enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) enqueue_entity_load_avg(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) account_entity_enqueue(group_cfs_ra(b[0]), t2) update_cfs_shares(group_cfs_rq(b[0])) < skipped because b is part of a throttled hierarchy > enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), b[0]) ... We now have b[0] enqueued, yet group_cfs_rq(a[0])->load.weight == 0 which violates invariants in several code-paths. Eliminate the possibility of this by initializing group entity weight.

commit 927b54fc upstream. __start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock, waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take rq->lock, resulting in deadlock. Fix this by ensuring that cfs_b->timer_active is cleared only if the _latest_ call to do_sched_cfs_period_timer is returning as idle. Then __start_cfs_bandwidth can just call hrtimer_try_to_cancel and wait for that to succeed or timer_active == 1.

commit 1ee14e6c upstream. When we transition cfs_bandwidth_used to false, any currently throttled groups will incorrectly return false from cfs_rq_throttled. While tg_set_cfs_bandwidth will unthrottle them eventually, currently running code (including at least dequeue_task_fair and distribute_cfs_runtime) will cause errors. Fix this by turning off cfs_bandwidth_used only after unthrottling all cfs_rqs. Tested: toggle bandwidth back and forth on a loaded cgroup.

commit 2690d97a upstream. Commit 5901b6be attempted to introduce IPv6 support into IRC NAT helper. By doing so, the following code seemed to be removed by accident: ip = ntohl(exp->master->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_REPLY].tuple.dst.u3.ip); sprintf(buffer, "%u %u", ip, port); pr_debug("nf_nat_irc: inserting '%s' == %pI4, port %u\n", buffer, &ip, port); This leads to the fact that buffer[] was left uninitialized and contained some stack value. When we call nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet(), we call strlen(buffer) on excatly this uninitialized buffer. If we are unlucky and the skb has enough tailroom, we overwrite resp. leak contents with values that sit on our stack into the packet and send that out to the receiver. Since the rather informal DCC spec [1] does not seem to specify IPv6 support right now, we log such occurences so that admins can act accordingly, and drop the packet. I've looked into XChat source, and IPv6 is not supported there: addresses are in u32 and print via %u format string. Therefore, restore old behaviour as in IPv4, use snprintf(). The IRC helper does not support IPv6 by now. By this, we can safely use strlen(buffer) in nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet() and prevent a buffer overflow. Also simplify some code as we now have ct variable anyway.

commit 23dfe136 upstream. In commit 41d73ec0, sequence number adjustments were moved to a separate file. Unfortunately, the sequence numbers that are stored in the nf_ct_seqadj structure are expressed in host byte order. The necessary ntohl call was removed when the call to adjust_tcp_sequence was collapsed into nf_ct_seqadj_set. This broke the FTP NAT helper. Fix it by adding back the byte order conversions.
