commit aad560b7 upstream. At IO preparation we calculate the max pages at each device and allocate a BIO per device of that size. The calculation was wrong on some unaligned corner cases offset/length combination and would make prepare return with -ENOMEM. This would be bad for pnfs-objects that would in that case IO through MDS. And fatal for exofs were it would fail writes with EIO. Fix it by doing the proper math, that will work in all cases. (I ran a test with all possible offset/length combinations this time round). Also when reading we do not need to allocate for the parity units since we jump over them. Also lower the max_io_length to take into account the parity pages so not to allocate BIOs bigger than PAGE_SIZE Signed-off-by:

commit 5a5e75f4 upstream. With commit d8d14bd0 ("fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling") I changed the type of the len parameter of the lookup_dcookie() syscall. However I missed that there was still a stale declaration in arch/tile/.. which now causes a compile error on tile: In file included from fs/dcookies.c:28:0: include/linux/compat.h:425:17: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie' fs/dcookies.c:207:1: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie' Simply remove the declaration in the tile architecture, which is only a leftover from before the different compat lookup_dcookie() versions have been merged. The correct declaration is now in include/linux/compat.h The build error was reported by Fenguang's build bot. Signed-off-by:

commit d8d14bd0 upstream. Commit d5dc77bf ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall. The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

commit dfd948e3 upstream. We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in compat mode on s390. It turned out that with commit 72ec3516 ("switch compat readv/writev variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t. This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters. Signed-off-by:

commit 592f6b84 upstream. Commit 91c2e0bc ("unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") added a new unified compat fanotify_mark syscall to be used by all architectures. Unfortunately the unified version merges the split mask parameter in a wrong way: the lower and higher word got swapped. This was discovered with glibc's tst-fanotify test case. Signed-off-by:

commit 49a12877 upstream. There is currently no facility in ACPI to express the hookup of voltage regulators, the expectation is that the regulators that exist in the system will be handled transparently by firmware if they need software control at all. This means that if for some reason the regulator API is enabled on such a system it should assume that any supplies that devices need are provided by the system at all relevant times without any software intervention. Tell the regulator core to make this assumption by calling regulator_has_full_constraints(). Do this as soon as we know we are using ACPI so that the information is available to the regulator core as early as possible. This will cause the regulator core to pretend that there is an always on regulator supplying any supply that is requested but that has not otherwise been mapped which is the behaviour expected on a system with ACPI. Should the ability to specify regulators be added in future revisions of ACPI then once we have support for ACPI mappings in the kernel the same assumptions will apply. It is also likely that systems will default to a mode of operation which does not require any interpretation of these mappings in order to be compatible with existing operating system releases so it should remain safe to make these assumptions even if the mappings exist but are not supported by the kernel.

commit 2b92865e upstream. turbostat uses inline assembly to call cpuid. On 32-bit x86, on systems that have certain security features enabled by default that make -fPIC the default, this causes a build error: turbostat.c: In function ‘check_cpuid’: turbostat.c:1906:2: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘ebx’ in ‘asm’ asm("cpuid" : "=a" (fms), "=c" (ecx), "=d" (edx) : "a" (1) : "ebx"); ^ GCC provides a header cpuid.h, containing a __get_cpuid function that works with both PIC and non-PIC.

commit b731f311 upstream. turbostat's Makefile puts arch/x86/include/uapi/ in the include path, so that it can include <asm/msr.h> from it. It isn't in general safe to include even uapi headers directly from the kernel tree without processing them through scripts/headers_install.sh, but asm/msr.h happens to work. However, that include path can break with some versions of system headers, by overriding some system headers with the unprocessed versions directly from the kernel source. For instance: In file included from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28:0, from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/signal.h:339, from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/sys/wait.h:31, from turbostat.c:27: ../../../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/sigcontext.h:4:28: fatal error: linux/compiler.h: No such file or directory This occurs because the system bits/sigcontext.h on that build system includes <asm/sigcontext.h>, and asm/sigcontext.h in the kernel source includes <linux/compiler.h>, which scripts/headers_install.sh would have filtered out. Since turbostat really only wants a single header, just include that one header rather than putting an entire directory of kernel headers on the include path. In the process, switch from msr.h to msr-index.h, since turbostat just wants the MSR numbers. Signed-off-by:

commit 8afb1474 upstream. /sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048 # cat cpu_slabs 231 N0=16 N1=215 /sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048 # cat slabs 145 N0=36 N1=109 See, the number of slabs is smaller than that of cpu slabs. The bug was introduced by commit 49e22585 ("slub: per cpu cache for partial pages"). We should use page->pages instead of page->pobjects when calculating the number of cpu partial slabs. This also fixes the mapping of slabs and nodes. As there's no variable storing the number of total/active objects in cpu partial slabs, and we don't have user interfaces requiring those statistics, I just add WARN_ON for those cases. Acked-by:

commit 66b512ed upstream. With some SDIO devices, timeout errors can happen when reading data. To solve this issue, the DMA transfer has to be activated before sending the command to the device.

commit f662ae48 upstream. Under function mmc_blk_issue_rq, after an MMC discard operation, the MMC request data structure may be freed in memory. Later in the same function, the check of req->cmd_flags & MMC_REQ_SPECIAL_MASK is dangerous and invalid. It causes the MMC host not to be released when it should.

commit a1c3bfb2 upstream. The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping. Whether that is good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem. In that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large portion of the cache pages to be dirtied. As kswapd starts rotating these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO. Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable. Signed-off-by:

commit a804552b upstream. Tejun reported stuttering and latency spikes on a system where random tasks would enter direct reclaim and get stuck on dirty pages. Around 50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk (rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition. : The problem was pretty ridiculous. It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k : rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every : several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive : either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which : allocates about the same amount of anon memory. Although swap usage was : zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too. : : The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/ : heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this : is happening in the wild too. (this can happen with copying large files : to usb sticks too, right?) This patch (of 2): The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache allocations. As a result, it has to be taken into account when calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied. However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable. In that case, at least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable. Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix CONFIG_HIGHMEM build] Signed-off-by:

commit 54b9dd14 upstream. After thp split in hwpoison_user_mappings(), we hold page lock on the raw error page only between try_to_unmap, hence we are in danger of race condition.

This strange page fault is trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not sure why qemu-kvm does this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes qemu-kvm exit and on the way we catch the bad page bug/warning because we try to free a locked page (which was the former head page.) To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to tail page just after thp split. SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects only error affected VMs, not a whole system. Signed-off-by:

commit 06bdadd7 upstream. audit_syscall_exit() saves a result of regs_return_value() in intermediate "int" variable and passes it to __audit_syscall_exit(), which expects its second argument as a "long" value. This will result in truncating the value returned by a system call and making a wrong audit record. I don't know why gcc compiler doesn't complain about this, but anyway it causes a problem at runtime on arm64 (and probably most 64-bit archs). Signed-off-by:

commit 765ee51f upstream. This reverts commit 26abfeed. In the eisa_probe() force_probe path, if we were unable to request slot resources (e.g., [io 0x800-0x8ff]), we skipped the slot with "Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot %d" before reading the EISA signature in eisa_init_device(). Commit 26abfeed moved eisa_init_device() earlier, so we tried to read the EISA signature before requesting the slot resources, and this caused hangs during boot.

commit 08336fd2 upstream. dma_pte_free_level() has an off-by-one error when checking whether a pte is completely covered by a range. Take for example the case of attempting to free pfn 0x0 - 0x1ff, ie. 512 entries covering the first 2M superpage. The level_size() is 0x200 and we test: static void dma_pte_free_level(... ... if (!(0 > 0 || 0x1ff < 0 + 0x200)) { ... } Clearly the 2nd test is true, which means we fail to take the branch to clear and free the pagetable entry. As a result, we're leaking pagetables and failing to install new pages over the range. This was found with a PCI device assigned to a QEMU guest using vfio-pci without a VGA device present. The first 1M of guest address space is mapped with various combinations of 4K pages, but eventually the range is entirely freed and replaced with a 2M contiguous mapping. intel-iommu errors out with something like: ERROR: DMA PTE for vPFN 0x0 already set (to 5c2b8003 not 849c00083) In this case 5c2b8003 is the pointer to the previous leaf page that was neither freed nor cleared and 849c00083 is the superpage entry that we're trying to replace it with.

commit 91b973f9 upstream. The code in remove_cache_dir() is supposed to remove the "cache" subdirectory from the sysfs directory for a CPU when that CPU is being offlined. It tries to do this by calling kobject_put() on the kobject for the subdirectory. However, the subdirectory only gets removed once the last reference goes away, and the reference being put here may well not be the last reference. That means that the "cache" subdirectory may still exist when the offlining operation has finished. If the same CPU subsequently gets onlined, the code tries to add a new "cache" subdirectory. If the old subdirectory has not yet been removed, we get a WARN_ON in the sysfs code, with stack trace, and an error message printed on the console. Further, we ultimately end up with an online cpu with no "cache" subdirectory. This fixes it by doing an explicit kobject_del() at the point where we want the subdirectory to go away. kobject_del() removes the sysfs directory even though the object still exists in memory. The object will get freed at some point in the future. A subsequent onlining operation can create a new sysfs directory, even if the old object still exists in memory, without causing any problems.

commit d4edc5b6 upstream. On POWER platforms, the hypervisor can notify the guest kernel about dynamic changes in the cpu-numa associativity (VPHN topology update). Hence the cpu-to-node mappings that we got from the firmware during boot, may no longer be valid after such updates. This is handled using the arch_update_cpu_topology() hook in the scheduler, and the sched-domains are rebuilt according to the new mappings. But unfortunately, at the moment, CPU hotplug ignores these updated mappings and instead queries the firmware for the cpu-to-numa relationships and uses them during CPU online. So the kernel can end up assigning wrong NUMA nodes to CPUs during subsequent CPU hotplug online operations (after booting). Further, a particularly problematic scenario can result from this bug: On POWER platforms, the SMT mode can be switched between 1, 2, 4 (and even 8) threads per core. The switch to Single-Threaded (ST) mode is performed by offlining all except the first CPU thread in each core. Switching back to SMT mode involves onlining those other threads back, in each core. Now consider this scenario: 1. During boot, the kernel gets the cpu-to-node mappings from the firmware and assigns the CPUs to NUMA nodes appropriately, during CPU online. 2. Later on, the hypervisor updates the cpu-to-node mappings dynamically and communicates this update to the kernel. The kernel in turn updates its cpu-to-node associations and rebuilds its sched domains. Everything is fine so far. 3. Now, the user switches the machine from SMT to ST mode (say, by running ppc64_cpu --smt=1). This involves offlining all except 1 thread in each core. 4. The user then tries to switch back from ST to SMT mode (say, by running ppc64_cpu --smt=4), and this involves onlining those threads back. Since CPU hotplug ignores the new mappings, it queries the firmware and tries to associate the newly onlined sibling threads to the old NUMA nodes. This results in sibling threads within the same core getting associated with different NUMA nodes, which is incorrect. The scheduler's build-sched-domains code gets thoroughly confused with this and enters an infinite loop and causes soft-lockups, as explained in detail in commit 3be7db6a (powerpc: VPHN topology change updates all siblings). So to fix this, use the numa_cpu_lookup_table to remember the updated cpu-to-node mappings, and use them during CPU hotplug online operations. Further, we also need to ensure that all threads in a core are assigned to a common NUMA node, irrespective of whether all those threads were online during the topology update. To achieve this, we take care not to use cpu_sibling_mask() since it is not hotplug invariant. Instead, we use cpu_first_sibling_thread() and set up the mappings manually using the 'threads_per_core' value for that particular platform. This helps us ensure that we don't hit this bug with any combination of CPU hotplug and SMT mode switching. Signed-off-by:

commit d0242061 upstream. Currently, any user can snapshot any subvolume if the path is accessible and thus indirectly create and keep files he does not own under his direcotries. This is not possible with traditional directories. In security context, a user can snapshot root filesystem and pin any potentially buggy binaries, even if the updates are applied. All the snapshots are visible to the administrator, so it's possible to verify if there are suspicious snapshots. Another more practical problem is that any user can pin the space used by eg. root and cause ENOSPC. Original report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/484786Signed-off-by:

commit ee291e63 upstream. When creating network portals rapidly, such as when restoring a configuration, LIO's code to reuse existing portals can return a false negative if the thread hasn't run yet and set np_thread_state to ISCSI_NP_THREAD_ACTIVE. This causes an error in the network stack when attempting to bind to the same address/port. This patch sets NP_THREAD_ACTIVE before the np is placed on g_np_list, so even if the thread hasn't run yet, iscsit_get_np will return the existing np. Also, convert np_lock -> np_mutex + hold across adding new net portal to g_np_list to prevent a race where two threads may attempt to create the same network portal, resulting in one of them failing.

commit dcaf9aed upstream. Bfa driver crash is observed while pushing the firmware on to chinook quad port card due to uninitialized bfi_image_ct2 access which gets initialized only for CT2 ASIC based cards after request_firmware(). For quard port chinook (CT2 ASIC based), bfi_image_ct2 is not getting initialized as there is no check for chinook PCI device ID before request_firmware and instead bfi_image_cb is initialized as it is the default case for card type check. This patch includes changes to read the right firmware for quad port chinook. Signed-off-by:

commit 83e83ecb upstream. There is no need to skip querying the config and string descriptors for unauthorized WUSB devices when usb_new_device is called. It is allowed by WUSB spec. The only action that needs to be delayed until authorization time is the set config. This change allows user mode tools to see the config and string descriptors earlier in enumeration which is needed for some WUSB devices to function properly on Android systems. It also reduces the amount of divergent code paths needed for WUSB devices. Signed-off-by:

commit 6960a059 upstream. We changed the timeout for the interrupt coealescing for calibration, but that wasn't effective since we changed that value back before loading the firmware. Since calibrations are notification from firmware and not Rx packets, this doesn't change anyway - the firmware will fire an interrupt straight away regardless of the interrupt coalescing value. Also, a HW issue has been discovered in 7000 devices series. The work around is to disable the new interrupt coalescing timeout feature - do this by setting bit 31 in CSR_INT_COALESCING. This has been fixed in 7265 which means that we can't rely on the device family and must have a hint in the iwl_cfg structure.

(This is upstream 75fae117 "ALSA: hda/hdmi - allow PIN_OUT to be dynamically enabled", backported to stable 3.10 through 3.12. 3.13 and later can take the original patch.) Commit 384a48d7 "ALSA: hda: HDMI: Support codecs with fewer cvts than pins" dynamically enabled each pin widget's PIN_OUT only when the pin was actively in use. This was required on certain NVIDIA CODECs for correct operation. Specifically, if multiple pin widgets each had their mux input select the same audio converter widget and each pin widget had PIN_OUT enabled, then only one of the pin widgets would actually receive the audio, and often not the one the user wanted! However, this apparently broke some Intel systems, and commit 6169b673 "ALSA: hda - Always turn on pins for HDMI/DP" reverted the dynamic setting of PIN_OUT. This in turn broke the afore-mentioned NVIDIA CODECs. This change supports either dynamic or static handling of PIN_OUT, selected by a flag set up during CODEC initialization. This flag is enabled for all recent NVIDIA GPUs. Reported-by:

(This is a backport of *part* of upstream 611885bc "ALSA: hda - hdmi: Disallow unsupported 2ch remapping on NVIDIA codecs" to stable 3.10 through 3.12. Later stable already contain all of the original patch.) Mainline commit 611885bc "ALSA: hda - hdmi: Disallow unsupported 2ch remapping on NVIDIA codecs" introduces function patch_nvhdmi(). That function is edited by 75fae117 "ALSA: hda/hdmi - allow PIN_OUT to be dynamically enabled". In order to backport the PIN_OUT patch, I am first back-porting just the addition of function patch_nvhdmi(), so that the conflicts applying the PIN_OUT patch are simplified. Ideally, one might backport all of 611885bc. However, that commit doesn't apply to stable kernels, since it relies on a chain of other patches which implement new features. Signed-off-by:
