      dm ioctl: use kmalloc if possible · 9c5091f2
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc()
      rather than vmalloc().
      
      vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate
      page tables.
      
      In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times.
      On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%.
      
      This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the
      parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc()
      was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.

      dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block · e8088073
      Joe Thornber authored
      There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued
      simultaneously to the same block.
      
      Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you
      have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding.  DM thin must
      handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard)
      even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO.
      
      The race manifests as follows:
      
      1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map.
         This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block.
      
      2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio.
      
      3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard
         to lock out parallel activity against the same block.
      
      4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is
         incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds
         which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO.
      
      5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in
         process_bio.
      
      The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting
      for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.:
      
      INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
      "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

      The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this
      deadlock on fast SSD storage.
      
      The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be
      incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's
      associated virtual and physical blocks.  That cell locking wasn't
      occurring early enough in thin_bio_map.  This patch fixes this.
      
      Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with
      the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before
      calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across
      generic_submit_request.
      
      Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no
      longer the only thread that will do so.  Because of this we must be sure
      to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that
      were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred.
      
      This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with
      cell_defer_except".

      dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except · b7ca9c92
      Joe Thornber authored
      Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share
      cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function.
      
      Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question
      is the holder of the cell.
      
      If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except
      behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton.  Conversely, if there
      *are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used
      because those entries would need to be deferred.
      
      Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton
      with cell_defer_except.
      
      This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between
      simultaneous io and discards to same block".

      dm ioctl: prevent unsafe change to dm_ioctl data_size · e910d7eb
      Alasdair G Kergon authored
      Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter
      after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer
      from userspace.
      
      The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence:
       1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params();
       2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the
          userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp";
       3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new
          structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole
          userspace buffer there;
       4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole
          buffer into the pointer "param";
       5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it
          in the variable "input_param_size";
       6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the
          kernel buffer.
      
      The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user
      memory between steps 2 and 4.  In particular, the data_size parameter
      can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it.
      This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory.
      
      The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4.
      
      This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
      required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks.
      
          In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code
          interpreter could access past the end of the address in the
          inet_request_sock.
      
          Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated
          properly at all.
      
          This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain
          kernel data structures.
      
          Fixes from Neal Cardwell.
      
       2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process
          of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols
          (specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).
      
          Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
          backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared.  It
          very much can be shared in this context.
      
          Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
          skb_copy_bits().

      Revert "revert "Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD""" and associated damage · caf49191
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commits a5091539 and
      d7c3b937.
      
      This is a revert of a revert of a revert.  In addition, it reverts the
      even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
      original commits in linux-next.
      
      It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
      original revert was the correct thing to do after all.  We thought we
      had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
      really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
      do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.
      
      When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
      and if that fails, fail the allocation.  That's the right thing to do
      for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
      to do that too.
      
      So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
      said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake.  Let's hope we never revisit
      this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

      ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing · 1bf3751e
      Johannes Berg authored
      ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the
      RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify
      the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation.
      Use skb_copy_bits() to get the IP header and only pull in

      The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is
      called from dev->rx_handler which can also get a shared SKB.

      Revert "mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended" · 31f8d42d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 782fd304.
      
      We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been
      removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again.  Making this
      commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of
      __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag.
      
      The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations
      (because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure,
      including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were
      just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of
      __GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD")
      was simply bogus.

      inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads · 5e1f5420
      Neal Cardwell authored
      Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation
      actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port
      for such operations.
      
      Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking
      whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a
      malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of
      the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte
      code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not
      long enough to hold both.

      inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run() · f67caec9
      Neal Cardwell authored
      Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional
      and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do
      prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
      vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
      IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
      maintains as-is).
      
      This change is needed for two reasons:
      
      (1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
      prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
      us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
      garbage or oops.
      
      (2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
      simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
      would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
      which this commit maintains).

      Add logic to validate INET_DIAG_BC_S_COND and INET_DIAG_BC_D_COND

      Previously we did not validate the inet_diag_hostcond, address family,
      address length, and prefix length. So a malicious user could make the

      whole inet_diag_hostcond when the bytecode was not long enough to
      contain a whole inet_diag_hostcond of the given address family. Or
      they could make the kernel read up to about 27 bytes beyond the end of
      a connection address by passing a prefix length that exceeded the
      length of addresses of the given family.

      inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state · 1c95df85
      Neal Cardwell authored
      Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections
      instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually
      created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This
      means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a
      random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the
      request_sock.
      
      With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving
      IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to
      inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16
      bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where
      the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.

      mm: vmscan: fix inappropriate zone congestion clearing · ed23ec4f
      Johannes Weiner authored
      commit c702418f ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due
      to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from
      the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing,
      which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim.
      
      This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with
      dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion
      status when their watermarks have been restored.
      
      Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely.  The
      preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if
      the zone is considered balanced.

      vfs: fix O_DIRECT read past end of block device · 684c9aae
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,
      but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size
      checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make
      private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of
      the device" code there.
      
      Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
      write path already does.
      
      NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
      way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c.  The
      mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
      conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
      to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
      inode timestamp etc).
      
      It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
      size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more
      generic.  However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted
      fix.

      reencrypt tool.

      net: gro: fix possible panic in skb_gro_receive() · c3c7c254
      Eric Dumazet authored
      commit 2e71a6f8 (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
      a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely
      used, as it needs skb not using a page fragment for their skb->head.
      
      Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
      allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.
      
      napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
      point to the last skb in frag_list.
      
      Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the
      last fragment.

      tcp: bug fix Fast Open client retransmission · 93b174ad
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
      remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
      state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
      happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
      check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
      SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
      another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.
      
      Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
      update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
      smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
      needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
      or other loss recovery events.
