commit 9b171e0c upstream. Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete() is the last thing we do with the inode.

commit ef4d0888 upstream. When commit 95a2482a (mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: add basic imx6q usdhc support) works around host version issue on imx6q, it gets the register address fixup "reg ^= 2" lost for imx25/35/51/53 esdhc. Thus, the controller version on these SoCs is wrongly identified as v1 while it's actually v2. Add the address fixup back and take a different approach to correct imx6q host version, so that the host version read gets back to work for all SoCs.

commit 5f00110f upstream. The tmpfs remount logic preserves filesystem mempolicy if the mpol=M option is not specified in the remount request. A new policy can be specified if mpol=M is given. Before this patch remounting an mpol bound tmpfs without specifying mpol= mount option in the remount request would set the filesystem's mempolicy object to a freed mempolicy object. To reproduce the problem boot a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC kernel and run: # mkdir /tmp/x # mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M,mpol=interleave nodev /tmp/x # grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=102400k,mpol=interleave:0-3 0 0 # mount -o remount,size=200M nodev /tmp/x # grep /tmp/x /proc/mounts nodev /tmp/x tmpfs rw,relatime,size=204800k,mpol=??? 0 0 # note ? garbage in mpol=... output above # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/x/f count=1 # panic here Panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [< (null)>] (null) [...] Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Call Trace: mpol_shared_policy_init+0xa5/0x160 shmem_get_inode+0x209/0x270 shmem_mknod+0x3e/0xf0 shmem_create+0x18/0x20 vfs_create+0xb5/0x130 do_last+0x9a1/0xea0 path_openat+0xb3/0x4d0 do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0 do_sys_open+0xfe/0x1e0 compat_sys_open+0x1b/0x20 cstar_dispatch+0x7/0x1f Non-debug kernels will not crash immediately because referencing the dangling mpol will not cause a fault. Instead the filesystem will reference a freed mempolicy object, which will cause unpredictable behavior. The problem boils down to a dropped mpol reference below if shmem_parse_options() does not allocate a new mpol: config = *sbinfo shmem_parse_options(data, &config, true) mpol_put(sbinfo->mpol) sbinfo->mpol = config.mpol /* BUG: saves unreferenced mpol */ This patch avoids the crash by not releasing the mempolicy if shmem_parse_options() doesn't create a new mpol. How far back does this issue go? I see it in both 2.6.36 and 3.3. I did not look back further.

commit 67d46b29 upstream. Rob van der Heij reported the following (paraphrased) on private mail. The scenario is that I want to avoid backups to fill up the page cache and purge stuff that is more likely to be used again (this is with s390x Linux on z/VM, so I don't give it as much memory that we don't care anymore). So I have something with LD_PRELOAD that intercepts the close() call (from tar, in this case) and issues a posix_fadvise() just before closing the file. This mostly works, except for small files (less than 14 pages) that remains in page cache after the face. Unfortunately Rob has not had a chance to test this exact patch but the test program below should be reproducing the problem he described. The issue is the per-cpu pagevecs for LRU additions. If the pages are added by one CPU but fadvise() is called on another then the pages remain resident as the invalidate_mapping_pages() only drains the local pagevecs via its call to pagevec_release(). The user-visible effect is that a program that uses fadvise() properly is not obeyed. A possible fix for this is to put the necessary smarts into invalidate_mapping_pages() to globally drain the LRU pagevecs if a pagevec page could not be discarded. The downside with this is that an inode cache shrink would send a global IPI and memory pressure potentially causing global IPI storms is very undesirable. Instead, this patch adds a check during fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to check if invalidate_mapping_pages() discarded all the requested pages. If a subset of pages are discarded it drains the LRU pagevecs and tries again. If the second attempt fails, it assumes it is due to the pages being mapped, locked or dirty and does not care. With this patch, an application using fadvise() correctly will be obeyed but there is a downside that a malicious application can force the kernel to send global IPIs and increase overhead. If accepted, I would like this to be considered as a -stable candidate. It's not an urgent issue but it's a system call that is not working as advertised which is weak. The following test program demonstrates the problem. It should never report that pages are still resident but will without this patch. It assumes that CPU 0 and 1 exist. int main() { int fd; int pagesize = getpagesize(); ssize_t written = 0, expected; char *buf; unsigned char *vec; int resident, i; cpu_set_t set; /* Prepare a buffer for writing */ expected = FILESIZE_PAGES * pagesize; buf = malloc(expected + 1); if (buf == NULL) { printf("ENOMEM\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } buf[expected] = 0; memset(buf, 'a', expected); /* Prepare the mincore vec */ vec = malloc(FILESIZE_PAGES); if (vec == NULL) { printf("ENOMEM\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* Bind ourselves to CPU 0 */ CPU_ZERO(&set); CPU_SET(0, &set); if (sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1) { perror("sched_setaffinity"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* open file, unlink and write buffer */ fd = open("fadvise-test-file", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR); if (fd == -1) { perror("open"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } unlink("fadvise-test-file"); while (written < expected) { ssize_t this_write; this_write = write(fd, buf + written, expected - written); if (this_write == -1) { perror("write"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } written += this_write; } free(buf); /* * Force ourselves to another CPU. If fadvise only flushes the local * CPUs pagevecs then the fadvise will fail to discard all file pages */ CPU_ZERO(&set); CPU_SET(1, &set); if (sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1) { perror("sched_setaffinity"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* sync and fadvise to discard the page cache */ fsync(fd); if (posix_fadvise(fd, 0, expected, POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) == -1) { perror("posix_fadvise"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* map the file and use mincore to see which parts of it are resident */ buf = mmap(NULL, expected, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (buf == NULL) { perror("mmap"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if (mincore(buf, expected, vec) == -1) { perror("mincore"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* Check residency */ for (i = 0, resident = 0; i < FILESIZE_PAGES; i++) { if (vec[i]) resident++; } if (resident != 0) { printf("Nr unexpected pages resident: %d\n", resident); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } munmap(buf, expected); close(fd); free(vec); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Reported-by: Rob van der Heij <rvdheij@gmail.com> Tested-by: Rob van der Heij <rvdheij@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

commit 751efd86 upstream. There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and __mmu_notifier_release(). Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result of a filp_close() ->flush() callout (task A), and the other calling mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B). A B t1 srcu_read_lock() t2 if (!hlist_unhashed()) t3 srcu_read_unlock() t4 srcu_read_lock() t5 hlist_del_init_rcu() t6 synchronize_srcu() t7 srcu_read_unlock() t8 hlist_del_rcu() <--- NULL pointer deref. Additionally, the list traversal in __mmu_notifier_release() is not protected by the by the mmu_notifier_mm->hlist_lock which can result in callouts to the ->release() notifier from both mmu_notifier_unregister() and __mmu_notifier_release(). -stable suggestions: The stable trees prior to 3.7.y need commits 21a92735 and 70400303 cherry-picked in that order prior to cherry-picking this commit. The 3.7.y tree already has those two commits.

commit 21a92735 upstream. With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule() as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier structure while it is currently being used. Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm. So all mms share a global srcu. Note that during large mmu_notifier activity exit & unregister paths might hang for longer periods, but it is tolerable for current mmu_notifier clients.

commit 304e220f upstream. ext4_has_free_clusters() should tell us whether there is enough free clusters to allocate, however number of free clusters in the file system is converted to blocks using EXT4_C2B() which is not only wrong use of the macro (we should have used EXT4_NUM_B2C) but it's also completely wrong concept since everything else is in cluster units. Moreover when calculating number of root clusters we should be using macro EXT4_NUM_B2C() instead of EXT4_B2C() otherwise the result might be off by one. However r_blocks_count should always be a multiple of the cluster ratio so doing a plain bit shift should be enough here. We avoid using EXT4_B2C() because it's confusing. As a result of the first problem number of free clusters is much bigger than it should have been and ext4_has_free_clusters() would return 1 even if there is really not enough free clusters available. Fix this by removing the EXT4_C2B() conversion of free clusters and using bit shift when calculating number of root clusters. This bug affects number of xfstests tests covering file system ENOSPC situation handling. With this patch most of the ENOSPC problems with bigalloc file system disappear, especially the errors caused by delayed allocation not having enough space when the actual allocation is finally requested.

commit 7630b661 upstream. We found that bdev->bd_invalidated was left set once revalidate_disk() is called, which results in page cache flush every time that device is open. Specifically, we found this problem in MD block device. Once we resize a MD device, mdadm --monitor periodically flush all page cache for that device every 60 or 1000 seconds when it opens the device. This bug lies since at least 3.2.0 till the latest kernel(3.6.2). Patch is attached. The following steps will reproduce the problem. 1. prepair a block device (eg /dev/sdb). 2. create two partitions: sudo parted /dev/sdb mklabel gpt mkpart primary 0% 50% mkpart primary 50% 100% 3. create a md device. sudo mdadm -C /dev/md/hoge -l 1 -n 2 -e 1.2 --assume-clean --auto=md --symlink=no /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 4. create file system and mount it sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/md/hoge sudo mkdir /mnt/test sudo mount /dev/md/hoge /mnt/test 5. try to resize the device sudo mdadm -G /dev/md/hoge --size=max 6. create a file to fill file cache. sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test/data bs=1M count=10 and verify the current status of file by free command. 7. mdadm monitor will open the md device every 1000 seconds and you will find all file cache on the device are cleared. The timing can be reduced by the following steps. a) kill mdadm and restart it with --delay option /sbin/mdadm --monitor --delay=30 --pid-file /var/run/mdadm/monitor.pid --daemonise --scan --syslog or open the md device directly. sudo dd if=/dev/md/hoge of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1 Signed-off-by: MITSUNARI Shigeo <herumi@nifty.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

commit 676a0675 upstream. Running the command: inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount event wait will work. The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc ("inotify: Fix mask checks"). In that commit, it states: The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask() sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway. But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this: mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg); - if (unlikely(!mask)) + if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS))) return -EINVAL; The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the check should be: if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT)))) But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get enabled there. Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

commit e182bb38 upstream. When idr_find() was fed a negative ID, it used to look up the ID ignoring the sign bit before recent ("idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.c") patch. Now a negative ID triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE(). __lock_timer() feeds timer_id from userland directly to idr_find() without sanitizing it which can trigger the above malfunctions. Add a range check on @timer_id before invoking idr_find() in __lock_timer(). While timer_t is defined as int by all archs at the moment, Andrew worries that it may be defined as a larger type later on. Make the test cover larger integers too so that it at least is guaranteed to not return the wrong timer. Note that WARN_ON_ONCE() in idr_find() on id < 0 is transitional precaution while moving away from ignoring MSB. Once it's gone we can remove the guard as long as timer_t isn't larger than int.

commit b531f81b upstream. Commit 99fc8645 "ALSA: usb-mixer: parse descriptors with structs" introduced a set of useful parsers for descriptors. Unfortunately the parses for the Processing Unit Descriptor came with a very subtle bug... Functions uac_processing_unit_iProcessing() and uac_processing_unit_specific() were indexing the baSourceID array forgetting the fields before the iProcessing and process-specific descriptors. The problem was observed with Sound Blaster Extigy mixer, where nNrModes in Up/Down-mix Processing Unit Descriptor was accessed at offset 10 of the descriptor (value 0) instead of offset 15 (value 7). In result the resulting control had interesting limit values: Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0 Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - -1 Mono: -1 [100%] Fixed by starting from the bmControls, which was calculated correctly, instead of baSourceID.

commit fb834c7a upstream. commit 1de63d60 ("efi: Clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES rather than EFI_BOOT by "noefi" boot parameter") attempted to make "noefi" true to its documentation and disable EFI runtime services to prevent the bricking bug described in commit e0094244 ("samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware"). However, it's not possible to clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES from an early param function because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES is set in efi_init() *after* parse_early_param(). This resulted in "noefi" effectively becoming a no-op and no longer providing users with a way to disable EFI, which is bad for those users that have buggy machines.

commit 76eaca03 upstream. There is a loophole between Xen's current implementation of pv-spinlocks and the scheduler. This was triggerable through a testcase until v3.6 changed the TLB flushing code. The problem potentially is still there just not observable in the same way. What could happen was (is): 1. CPU n tries to schedule task x away and goes into a slow wait for the runq lock of CPU n-# (must be one with a lower number). 2. CPU n-#, while processing softirqs, tries to balance domains and goes into a slow wait for its own runq lock (for updating some records). Since this is a spin_lock_irqsave in softirq context, interrupts will be re-enabled for the duration of the poll_irq hypercall used by Xen. 3. Before the runq lock of CPU n-# is unlocked, CPU n-1 receives an interrupt (e.g. endio) and when processing the interrupt, tries to wake up task x. But that is in schedule and still on_cpu, so try_to_wake_up goes into a tight loop. 4. The runq lock of CPU n-# gets unlocked, but the message only gets sent to the first waiter, which is CPU n-# and that is busily stuck. 5. CPU n-# never returns from the nested interruption to take and release the lock because the scheduler uses a busy wait. And CPU n never finishes the task migration because the unlock notification only went to CPU n-#. To avoid this and since the unlocking code has no real sense of which waiter is best suited to grab the lock, just send the IPI to all of them. This causes the waiters to return from the hyper- call (those not interrupted at least) and do active spinlocking.

commit 9d092603 upstream. "be->mode" is obtained from xenbus_read(), which does a kmalloc() for the message body. The short string is never released, so do it along with freeing "be" itself, and make sure the string isn't kept when backend_changed() doesn't complete successfully (which made it desirable to slightly re-structure that function, so that the error cleanup can be done in one place).

commit 666b3d80 upstream. Currently, nlmclnt_lock will break out of the for(;;) loop when the reclaimer wakes up the blocking lock thread by setting nlm_lck_denied_grace_period. This causes the lock request to fail with an ENOLCK error. The intention was always to ensure that we resend the lock request after the grace period has expired.

commit ccae0e50 upstream. Bastian Bittorf reported that some of the silent freezes on a Linksys WRT54G were due to overflow of the RX DMA ring buffer, which was created with 64 slots. That finding reminded me that I was seeing similar crashed on a netbook, which also has a relatively slow processor. After increasing the number of slots to 128, runs on the netbook that previously failed now worked; however, I found that 109 slots had been used in one test. For that reason, the number of slots is being increased to 256. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Cc: Bastian Bittorf <bittorf@bluebottle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 8c189ea6 upstream. Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules" changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them (namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do. Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment no longer exists. Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error. Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else. By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the problem is solved.

commit fcf29481 upstream. This patch fixes a bug in core_tpg_check_initiator_node_acl() -> core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl() where a dynamically created se_node_acl generated during session login would be skipped during subsequent lookup due to the '!acl->dynamic_node_acl' check, causing a new se_node_acl to be created with a duplicate ->initiatorname. This would occur when a fabric endpoint was configured with TFO->tpg_check_demo_mode()=1 + TPF->tpg_check_demo_mode_cache()=1 preventing the release of an existing se_node_acl during se_session shutdown. Also, drop the unnecessary usage of core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl() within core_dev_init_initiator_node_lun_acl() that originally required the extra '!acl->dynamic_node_acl' check, and just pass the configfs provided se_node_acl pointer instead.

commit bc6b8923 upstream. rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb, using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for allocating is: struct { u8 data[254]; struct usb_ctrlrequest dr; }; Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory corruptions and freezes. Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately. [v2]: - Use WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@mbnet.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

commit 7c45512d upstream. Commit c060f943 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation, resulting in some very subtle memory corruption. This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line options. In the meantime, commit c060f943 has been marked for stable, so this fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the commit to use the right alignment.

commit 1231b3a1 upstream. Currently when new xattr block is created or released we we would call dquot_free_block() or dquot_alloc_block() respectively, among the else decrementing or incrementing the number of blocks assigned to the inode by one block. This however does not work for bigalloc file system because we always allocate/free the whole cluster so we have to count with that in dquot_free_block() and dquot_alloc_block() as well. Use the clusters-to-blocks conversion EXT4_C2B() when passing number of blocks to the dquot_alloc/free functions to fix the problem. The problem has been revealed by xfstests #117 (and possibly others).

commit 085b7a45 upstream. layoutget's prepare hook can call rpc_exit with status = NFS4_OK (0). Because of this, nfs4_proc_layoutget can't depend on a 0 status to mean that the RPC was successfully sent, received and parsed. To fix this, use the result's len member to see if parsing took place. This fixes the following OOPS -- calling xdr_init_decode() with a buffer length 0 doesn't set the stream's 'p' member and ends up using uninitialized memory in filelayout_decode_layout.
