Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation functions. The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active() is not protected by any synchronization mechanism. NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach.

First I would give three observations which will be used later. Observation 1: if (delayed_work_pending(wq)) cancel_delayed_work(wq) This usage is wrong because the pending bit is cleared just before the work's fn is executed and if the function re-arms itself we might end up with the work still running. It's safe to call cancel_delayed_work_sync() even if the work is not queued at all. Observation 2: Use of INIT_DELAYED_WORK() Work needs to be initialized only once prior to (de/en)queueing. Observation 3: IFF_UP is set only after ndo_open is called Related race conditions: 1. Race between bonding_store_miimon() and bonding_store_arp_interval() Because of Obs.1 we can end up having both works enqueued. 2. Multiple races with INIT_DELAYED_WORK() Since the works are not protected by anything between INIT_DELAYED_WORK() and calls to (en/de)queue it is possible for races between the following functions: (races are also possible between the calls to INIT_DELAYED_WORK() and workqueue code) bonding_store_miimon() - bonding_store_arp_interval(), bond_close(), bond_open(), enqueued functions bonding_store_arp_interval() - bonding_store_miimon(), bond_close(), bond_open(), enqueued functions 3. By Obs.1 we need to change bond_cancel_all() Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed by moving all work initializations in bond_open which by Obs. 2 and Obs. 3 and the fact that we make sure that all works are cancelled in bond_close(), is guaranteed not to have any work enqueued. Also RTNL lock is now acquired in bonding_store_miimon/arp_interval so they can't race with bond_close and bond_open. The opposing work is cancelled only if the IFF_UP flag is set and it is cancelled unconditionally. The opposing work is already cancelled if the interface is down so no need to cancel it again. This way we don't need new synchronizations for the bonding workqueue. These bugs (and fixes) are tied together and belong in the same patch. Note: I have left 1 line intentionally over 80 characters (84) because I didn't like how it looks broken down. If you'd prefer it otherwise, then simply break it. v2: Make description text < 75 columns Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Trinity (the syscall fuzzer) discovered a memory leak in SCTP, reproducible e.g. with the sendto() syscall by passing invalid user space pointer in the second argument: #include <string.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int main(void) { int fd; struct sockaddr_in sa; fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 132 /*IPPROTO_SCTP*/); if (fd < 0) return 1; memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa)); sa.sin_family = AF_INET; sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); sa.sin_port = htons(11111); sendto(fd, NULL, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa)); return 0; } As far as I can tell, the leak has been around since ~2003.

Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test exposed. Sometime between queue_me() and taking the q.lock_ptr, the lock_ptr became NULL, resulting in a crash. While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() do not perform the same test. Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition is true. This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

Commit 169ebd90 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread") removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU (iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again. The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the problem: for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do mkdir $i for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do touch $i/$j echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches done done then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again. We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

Commit 5515061d ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making forward progress and can effectively deadlock. This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process exit quickly. If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate for 3.6.

With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory) kswapd0 R running task 0 30 2 0x00000000 Call Trace: preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60 _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60 put_super+0x31/0x40 drop_super+0x22/0x30 prune_super+0x149/0x1b0 shrink_slab+0xba/0x510 The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be reclaimed. The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path. If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling shrink_slab() on each iteration. The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

Commit 7b540d06 ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for @vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings the test back. The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped (which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular kernels. The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

Name of pimreg devices are built from following format : char name[IFNAMSIZ]; // IFNAMSIZ == 16 sprintf(name, "pimreg%u", mrt->id); We must therefore limit mrt->id to 9 decimal digits or risk a buffer overflow and a crash. Restrict table identifiers in [0 ... 999999999] interval. Reported-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen@asianux.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

inet_getpeer_v4() can return NULL under OOM conditions, and while inet_peer_xrlim_allow() is OK with a NULL peer, inet_putpeer() will crash. This code path now uses the same idiom as the others from: 1d861aa4 ("inet: Minimize use of cached route inetpeer."). Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Set in the rx_ifindex to pass the correct interface index in the case of a message timeout detection. Usually the rx_ifindex value is set at receive time. But when no CAN frame has been received the RX_TIMEOUT notification did not contain a valid value.

The skb->tstamp is set to the hardware timestamp when available in the USB urb message. This leads to user visible timestamps which contain the 'uptime' of the USB adapter - and not the usual system generated timestamp. Fix this wrong assignment by applying the available hardware timestamp to the skb_shared_hwtstamps data structure - which is intended for this purpose.

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle: "Three issues fixed accross the field: - Some functions that were recently outlined as part of a preemption fix were causing problems with function tracing. - The recently merged in-kernel MPI library uses very outdated headers that contain MIPS-specific code which won't build on with gcc 4.4 or newer. - The MIPS non-NUMA memory initialization was making only a very half-baked attempt at merging adjacent memory ranges. This kept the code simple enough but is now causing issues with kexec." * 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: MPI: Fix compilation on MIPS with GCC 4.4 and newer MIPS: Fix crash that occurs when function tracing is enabled MIPS: Merge overlapping bootmem ranges

While the EEH does recovery on the specific PE that has PCI errors, the PCI devices belonging to the PE will be removed and the PE will be marked as invalid since we still need the information stored in the PE. We only invalidate the PE when it doesn't have associated EEH devices and valid child PEs. However, the code used to check that is wrong. The patch fixes that.
