commit d310d05f upstream. usbfs allows user space to pass down an URB which sets URB_SHORT_NOT_OK for output URBs. That causes usbcore to log messages without limit for a nonsensical disallowed combination. The fix is to silently drop the attribute in usbfs. The problem is reported to exist since 3.14 https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13085Signed-off-by:

commit 5ee0f803 upstream. Some laptops have an internal port for a BT device which picks up noise when the kill switch is used, but not enough to trigger printk_rlimit(). So we shouldn't log consecutive faults of this kind. Signed-off-by:

commit 977dcfdc upstream. This patch fixes a bug in ohci-hcd. When an URB is unlinked, the corresponding Endpoint Descriptor is added to the ed_rm_list and taken off the hardware schedule. Once the ED is no longer visible to the hardware, finish_unlinks() handles the URBs that were unlinked or have completed. If any URBs remain attached to the ED, the ED is added back to the hardware schedule -- but only if the controller is running. This fails when a controller dies. A non-empty ED does not get added back to the hardware schedule and does not remain on the ed_rm_list; ohci-hcd loses track of it. The remaining URBs cannot be unlinked, which causes the USB stack to hang. The patch changes finish_unlinks() so that non-empty EDs remain on the ed_rm_list if the controller isn't running. This requires moving some of the existing code around, to avoid modifying the ED's hardware fields more than once. Signed-off-by:

commit 256dbcd8 upstream. The debug routine fill_async_buffer() in ohci-hcd is buggy: It never produces any output because it forgets to initialize the output buffer size. Also, the debug routine ohci_dump() has an unused argument. This patch adds the correct initialization and removes the unused argument. Signed-off-by:

commit e2875c33 upstream. Some jmicron uas chipsets act up (they disconnect from the bus) when sending more then 32 commands to them at once. Rather then building an ever growing list with usb-id based quirks for devices using this chipset, simply reduce the qdepth to 32 when connected over usb-2. 32 should be plenty to keep things close to maximum possible throughput on usb-2.

commit 410dd3cf upstream. We did not check relocated directory in any way when processing Rock Ridge 'CL' tag. Thus a corrupted isofs image can possibly have a CL entry pointing to another CL entry leading to possibly unbounded recursion in kernel code and thus stack overflow or deadlocks (if there is a loop created from CL entries). Fix the problem by not allowing CL entry to point to a directory entry with CL entry (such use makes no good sense anyway) and by checking whether CL entry doesn't point to itself. Reported-by:

commit ad3e14d7 upstream. device_index is a char type and the size of paired_dj_deivces is 7 elements, therefore proper bounds checking has to be applied to device_index before it is used. We are currently performing the bounds checking in logi_dj_recv_add_djhid_device(), which is too late, as malicious device could send REPORT_TYPE_NOTIF_DEVICE_UNPAIRED early enough and trigger the problem in one of the report forwarding functions called from logi_dj_raw_event(). Fix this by performing the check at the earliest possible ocasion in logi_dj_raw_event(). Reported-by:

commit 51217e69 upstream. The check on report size for REPORT_TYPE_LEDS in logi_dj_ll_raw_request() is wrong; the current check doesn't make any sense -- the report allocated by HID core in hid_hw_raw_request() can be much larger than DJREPORT_SHORT_LENGTH, and currently logi_dj_ll_raw_request() doesn't handle this properly at all. Fix the check by actually trimming down the report size properly if it is too large. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 093758e3 ] This commit is a guesswork, but it seems to make sense to drop this break, as otherwise the following line is never executed and becomes dead code. And that following line actually saves the result of local calculation by the pointer given in function argument. So the proposed change makes sense if this code in the whole makes sense (but I am unable to analyze it in the whole). Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81641Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 4ca9a237 ] Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze. In commit db64fe02 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer. This causes problems on sparc64. Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with eachother. First we have the malloc mapping area, then another unrelated region, then the vmalloc region. This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped. If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the openfirmware area entirely. The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this area. But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb them. These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset. Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are also incredibly inefficient. A plea has been made with the author of the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation. Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a macro and instead make it a function in a C source file. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 18f38132 ] The assumption was that update_mmu_cache() (and the equivalent for PMDs) would only be called when the PTE being installed will be accessible by the user. This is not true for code paths originating from remove_migration_pte(). There are dire consequences for placing a non-valid PTE into the TSB. The TLB miss frramework assumes thatwhen a TSB entry matches we can just load it into the TLB and return from the TLB miss trap. So if a non-valid PTE is in there, we will deadlock taking the TLB miss over and over, never satisfying the miss. Just exit early from update_mmu_cache() and friends in this situation.

[ Upstream commit d9124268 ] batadv_frag_insert_packet was unable to handle out-of-order packets because it dropped them directly. This is caused by the way the fragmentation lists is checked for the correct place to insert a fragmentation entry. The fragmentation code keeps the fragments in lists. The fragmentation entries are kept in descending order of sequence number. The list is traversed and each entry is compared with the new fragment. If the current entry has a smaller sequence number than the new fragment then the new one has to be inserted before the current entry. This ensures that the list is still in descending order. An out-of-order packet with a smaller sequence number than all entries in the list still has to be added to the end of the list. The used hlist has no information about the last entry in the list inside hlist_head and thus the last entry has to be calculated differently. Currently the code assumes that the iterator variable of hlist_for_each_entry can be used for this purpose after the hlist_for_each_entry finished. This is obviously wrong because the iterator variable is always NULL when the list was completely traversed. Instead the information about the last entry has to be stored in a different variable. This problem was introduced in 610bfc6b ("batman-adv: Receive fragmented packets and merge"). Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit fcdfe3a7 ] When performing segmentation, the mac_len value is copied right out of the original skb. However, this value is not always set correctly (like when the packet is VLAN-tagged) and we'll end up copying a bad value. One way to demonstrate this is to configure a VM which tags packets internally and turn off VLAN acceleration on the forwarding bridge port. The packets show up corrupt like this: 16:18:24.985548 52:54:00:ab:be:25 > 52:54:00:26:ce:a3, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 1518: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype 0x05e0, 0x0000: 8cdb 1c7c 8cdb 0064 4006 b59d 0a00 6402 ...|...d@.....d. 0x0010: 0a00 6401 9e0d b441 0a5e 64ec 0330 14fa ..d....A.^d..0.. 0x0020: 29e3 01c9 f871 0000 0101 080a 000a e833)....q.........3 0x0030: 000f 8c75 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 ...unetperf.netp 0x0040: 6572 6600 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 erf.netperf.netp 0x0050: 6572 6600 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 erf.netperf.netp 0x0060: 6572 6600 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 erf.netperf.netp ... This also leads to awful throughput as GSO packets are dropped and cause retransmissions. The solution is to set the mac_len using the values already available in then new skb. We've already adjusted all of the header offset, so we might as well correctly figure out the mac_len using skb_reset_mac_len(). After this change, packets are segmented correctly and performance is restored. CC: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 95cb5745 ] Ipv4 tunnels created with "local any remote $ip" didn't work properly since 7d442fab (ipv4: Cache dst in tunnels). 99% of packets sent via those tunnels had src addr = 0.0.0.0. That was because only dst_entry was cached, although fl4.saddr has to be cached too. Every time ip_tunnel_xmit used cached dst_entry (tunnel_rtable_get returned non-NULL), fl4.saddr was initialized with tnl_params->saddr (= 0 in our case), and wasn't changed until iptunnel_xmit(). This patch adds saddr to ip_tunnel->dst_cache, fixing this issue. Reported-by:

Pull ARM straggler SoC fix from Olof Johansson: "A DT bugfix for Nomadik that had an ambigouos double-inversion of a gpio line, and one MAINTAINER URL update that might as well go in now. We could hold off until the merge window, but then we'll just have to mark the DT fix for stable and it just seems like in total causing more work" * tag 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: MAINTAINERS: Update Tegra Git URL ARM: nomadik: fix up double inversion in DT

nr_dirty is updated without locking, causing it to drift so that it is non-zero (either a small positive integer, or a very large one when an underflow occurs) even when there are no actual dirty blocks. This was due to a race between the workqueue and map function accessing nr_dirty in parallel without proper protection. People were seeing under runs due to a race on increment/decrement of nr_dirty, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/648 Fix this by using an atomic_t for nr_dirty.
