Pull more security layer updates from Serge Hallyn: "A few more commits had previously failed to make it through security-next into linux-next but this week made it into linux-next. At least commit "ima: introduce ima_kernel_read()" was deemed critical by Mimi to make this merge window. This is a temporary tree just for this request. Mimi has pointed me to some previous threads about keeping maintainer trees at the previous release, which I'll certainly do for anything long-term, after talking with James" * 'serge-next-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sergeh/linux-security: ima: introduce ima_kernel_read() evm: prohibit userspace writing 'security.evm' HMAC value ima: check inode integrity cache in violation check ima: prevent unnecessary policy checking evm: provide option to protect additional SMACK xattrs evm: replace HMAC version with attribute mask ima: prevent new digsig xattr from being replaced

Pull Ceph updates from Sage Weil: "This has a mix of bug fixes and cleanups. Alex's patch fixes a rare race in RBD. Ilya's patches fix an ENOENT check when a second rbd image is mapped and a couple memory leaks. Zheng fixes several issues with fragmented directories and multiple MDSs. Josh fixes a spin/sleep issue, and Josh and Guangliang's patches fix setting and unsetting RBD images read-only.

The 'guilty' commit changed the order of cleanup code so that nsproxy->mnt_ns was not already available for Apparmor. Discussion about the issue with Al Viro and Eric W. Biederman suggested that kernel_read() is too high-level for IMA. Another issue, except security checking, that was identified is mandatory locking. kernel_read honors it as well and it might prevent IMA from calculating necessary hash. It was suggested to use simplified version of the function without security and locking checks. This patch introduces special version ima_kernel_read(), which skips security and mandatory locking checking. It prevents the kernel oops to happen.

Calculating the 'security.evm' HMAC value requires access to the EVM encrypted key. Only the kernel should have access to it. This patch prevents userspace tools(eg. setfattr, cp --preserve=xattr) from setting/modifying the 'security.evm' HMAC value directly.

When IMA did not support ima-appraisal, existance of the S_IMA flag clearly indicated that the file was measured. With IMA appraisal S_IMA flag indicates that file was measured and/or appraised. Because of this, when measurement is not enabled by the policy, violations are still reported. To differentiate between measurement and appraisal policies this patch checks the inode integrity cache flags. The IMA_MEASURED flag indicates whether the file was actually measured, while the IMA_MEASURE flag indicates whether the file should be measured. Unfortunately, the IMA_MEASURED flag is reset to indicate the file needs to be re-measured. Thus, this patch checks the IMA_MEASURE flag. This patch limits the false positive violation reports, but does not fix it entirely. The IMA_MEASURE/IMA_MEASURED flags are indications that, at some point in time, the file opened for read was in policy, but might not be in policy now (eg. different uid). Other changes would be needed to further limit false positive violation reports.

ima_rdwr_violation_check is called for every file openning. The function checks the policy even when violation condition is not met. It causes unnecessary policy checking. This patch does policy checking only if violation condition is met.

Newer versions of SMACK introduced following security xattrs: SMACK64EXEC, SMACK64TRANSMUTE and SMACK64MMAP. To protect these xattrs, this patch includes them in the HMAC calculation. However, for backwards compatibility with existing labeled filesystems, including these xattrs needs to be configurable.

Using HMAC version limits the posibility to arbitrarily add new attributes such as SMACK64EXEC to the hmac calculation. This patch replaces hmac version with attribute mask. Desired attributes can be enabled with configuration parameter. It allows to build kernels which works with previously labeled filesystems. Currently supported attribute is 'fsuuid' which is equivalent of the former version 2. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <d.kasatkin@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

To address this bug, go ahead and checking for a NULL se_sess pointer within target_put_sess_cmd(), and call se_cmd->se_tfo->release_cmd() to release the XCOPY's xcopy_pt_cmd memory.

When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link" fails to show VF information. The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit 88c5b5ce ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"), after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute in the netlink request. iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513 ("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter"). The problem has been noticed before: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2 (Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8) We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg. With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new iproute2 versions. Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

And imx6q/dl SOC FEC Gbps speed has HW bus Bandwidth limitation (400Mbps ~ 700Mbps), imx6sx SOC FEC Gbps speed has no HW bandwidth limitation. The patch set just enable TSO feature, which is done following the mv643xx_eth driver. Test result analyze: imx6dl sabresd board: there have 82% improvement, since imx6dl FEC HW has bandwidth limitation, the performance with SW TSO is a milestone. Addition test: imx6sx sdb board: upstream still don't support imx6sx due to some patches being upstream... they use same FEC IP. Use the SW TSO patches test imx6sx sdb board in internal kernel tree: No SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 840Mbps, cpu loading is 100%. SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 942Mbps, cpu loading is 65%. It means the patch set have great improvement for imx6sx FEC performance. V2: * From Frank Li's suggestion: Change the API "fec_enet_txdesc_entry_free" name to "fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num". * Summary David Laight and Eric Dumazet's thoughts: RX BD entry number change to 256. * From ezequiel's suggestion: Follow the latest TSO fixes from his solution to rework the queue stop/wake-up. Avoid unmapping the TSO header buffers. * From Eric Dumazet's suggestion: Avoid more bytes copy, just copying the unaligned part of the payload into first descriptor. The suggestion will bring more complex for the driver, and imx6dl FEC DMA need 16 bytes alignment, but cpu loading is not problem that cpu loading is 30%, the current performance is so better. Later chip like imx6sx Gigbit FEC DMA support byte alignment, so there don't exist memory copy. So, the V2 version drop the suggestion. Anyway, thanks for Eric's response and suggestion. V3: * From David Laight's feedback: Decide to drop RX BD entry number change for the SW TSO patch set. I will generate one separate patch to increase RX BDs entry for interrupt coalescing feature which will be supported in my later patch set. V4: * From David Laight's feedback: Remove the conditional in .fec_enet_get_bd_index(). V5: * Patch #4 update: From David Laight's feedback: "expect fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num() to return one less than it does currently." Change the function: Return space available, 0..size-1. it always leave one free entry. Which is same as linux circ_buf.
