vhost_zerocopy_callback accesses VQ right after it drops a ubuf reference. In theory, this could race with device removal which waits on the ubuf kref, and crash on use after free. Do all accesses within rcu read side critical section, and synchronize on release. Since callbacks are always invoked from bh, synchronize_rcu_bh seems enough and will help release complete a bit faster. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

vhost checked the counter within the refcnt before decrementing. It really wanted to know that it is the one that has the last reference, as a way to batch freeing resources a bit more efficiently. Note: we only let refcount go to 0 on device release. This works well but we now access the ref counter twice so there's a race: all users might see a high count and decide to defer freeing resources. In the end no one initiates freeing resources until the last reference is gone (which is on VM shotdown so might happen after a looooong time). Let's do what we probably should have done straight away: switch from kref to plain atomic, documenting the semantics, return the refcount value atomically after decrement, then use that to avoid the deadlock.

It's wrong if the device tree doesn't provide a phy-mode property for the cpsw slaves as it is documented to be required in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/cpsw.txt. Anyhow it's nice to catch that problem, still more as it used to work without this property up to commit 388367a5 (drivers: net: cpsw: use cpsw-phy-sel driver to configure phy mode) which is in v3.13-rc1.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO. Given: Host <mtu1500> R1 <mtu1200> R2 Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2. R1 performs GRO. In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding the mtu. When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu. This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso segment lengths into account. For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual segments are too big. For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine. It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to work fine in my (limited) tests. Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via ->gso_size to avoid sofware segmentation. However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related to mss size so we would BUG there. I don't want to mess with it considering Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be. Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded. This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4 non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small. Its not perfect, but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a rare case anyway. Also its not like this could not be improved later once the dust settles.

The bonding driver take write locks and spin locks that are shared by the tx path in enslave processing and notification processing, If the netconsole is in use, the bonding can call printk which puts us in the netpoll tx path, if the netconsole is attached to the bonding driver, result in deadlock. So add protection for these place, by checking the netpoll_block_tx state, we can defer the sending of the netconsole frames until a later time using the retransmit feature of netpoll_send_skb that is triggered on the return code NETDEV_TX_BUSY.

In sctp_sysctl_net_register(), we register the sysctl for each net, in the for(), we use the 'table[i].data' as check condition, so when the 'i' is the index of sctp_hmac_alg, the data is NULL, then break.

If a packet received on a link is out-of-sequence, it will be placed on a deferred queue and later reinserted in the receive path once the preceding packets have been processed. The problem with this is that it will be subject to the buffer adjustment from link_recv_buf_validate twice. The second adjustment for 20 bytes header space will corrupt the packet. We solve this by tagging the deferred packets and bail out from receive buffer validation for packets that have already been subjected to this.

The 9p-virtio transport does zero copy on things larger than 1024 bytes in size. It accomplishes this by returning the physical addresses of pages to the virtio-pci device. At present, the translation is usually a bit shift. That approach produces an invalid page address when we read/write to vmalloc buffers, such as those used for Linux kernel modules. Any attempt to load a Linux kernel module from 9p-virtio produces the following stack.

This not only enables us to load Linux kernel modules off virtfs, but also enables ZFS file-based vdevs on virtfs to be used without killing QEMU. Special thanks to both Avi Kivity and Alexander Graf for their interpretation of QEMU backtraces. Without their guidence, tracking down this bug would have taken much longer.

System call linkat first calls user_path_at(), check the existence of old dentry, and then calls vfs_link()->ocfs2_link() to do the actual work. There may exist a race when Node A create a hard link for file while node B rm it. Node A Node B user_path_at() ->ocfs2_lookup(), find old dentry exist rm file, add inode say inodeA to orphan_dir call ocfs2_link(),create a hard link for inodeA. rm the link, add inodeA to orphan_dir again When orphan_scan work start, it calls ocfs2_queue_orphans() to do the main work. It first tranverses entrys in orphan_dir, linking all inodes in this orphan_dir to a list look like this: inodeA->inodeB->...->inodeA When tranvering this list, it will fall into loop, calling iput() again and again.

fs-writeback will release the dirty pages without page lock whose offset are over inode size, the release happens at block_write_full_page_endio(). If not update, dirty pages in file holes may be released before flushed to the disk, then file holes will contain some non-zero data, this will cause sparse file md5sum error. To reproduce the bug, find a big sparse file with many holes, like vm image file, its actual size should be bigger than available mem size to make writeback work more frequently, tar it with -S option, then keep untar it and check its md5sum again and again until you get a wrong md5sum.

mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail page. This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e4 ("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page. When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes little sense. This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid testing.

Changes in commit a0b8cab3 ("mm: remove lru parameter from __pagevec_lru_add and remove parts of pagevec API") have introduced a call to add_to_page_cache_lru() which causes a leak in nfs_symlink() as now the page gets an extra refcount that is not dropped. Jan Stancek observed and reported the leak effect while running test8 from Connectathon Testsuite. After several iterations over the test case, which creates several symlinks on a NFS mountpoint, the test system was quickly getting into an out-of-memory scenario. This patch fixes the page leak by dropping that extra refcount add_to_page_cache_lru() is grabbing.

Although there would be no contention to adding the lock, that lock also requires disabling of interrupts which will have a larger impact on the system. Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed. Also added a __add_partial() function that does not do the lock validation either, as it is not needed for the creation of the cache.
