commit eabfbe62 upstream. Commit efc73f4b "net: Fix memory leak - vlan_info struct" adds deletion of VLAN 0 for devices with feature NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. For driver qeth these are the layer 3 devices. Usually there exists no separate vlan net_device for VLAN 0. Thus the qeth functions qeth_l3_free_vlan_addresses4() and qeth_l3_free_vlan_addresses6() require an extra checking if function __vlan_find_dev_deep() returns with a net_device.

commit 764a1b1a upstream. The readpages bug is a regression that was introduced in 6993f74a. This also fixes a couple of similar bugs in the uncached read and write codepaths. Also, prevent this sort of thing in the future by having cifsFileInfo_get take the spinlock itself, and adding a _locked variant for use in places that are already holding the lock. The _put code has always done that so this makes for a less confusing interface.

commit e9fbcb42 upstream. Each ordered operation has a free callback, and this was called with the worker spinlock held. Josef made the free callback also call iput, which we can't do with the spinlock. This drops the spinlock for the free operation and grabs it again before moving through the rest of the list. We'll circle back around to this and find a cleaner way that doesn't bounce the lock around so much.

commit f197ac13 upstream. In the ac.c, power_supply_register()'s return value is not checked. As a result, the driver's add() ops may return success even though the device failed to initialize. For example, some BIOS may describe two ACADs in the same DSDT. The second ACAD device will fail to register, but ACPI driver's add() ops returns sucessfully. The ACPI device will receive ACPI notification and cause OOPS. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772730Signed-off-by: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 65758202 upstream. Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU. Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without explicitly detaching the existing workers. However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which aren't bound to the CPU. While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following successful CPU down. Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high priority for up operations and low priority for down operations. Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

commit 069f101f upstream. ZSMALLOC is tristate, but the code has no MODULE_LICENSE and since it depends on GPL-only symbols it cannot be loaded as a module. This in turn breaks zram which now depends on it. I assume it's meant to be Dual BSD/GPL like the other z-stuff. There is also no module_exit, which will make it impossible to unload.

commit 008c2e8f upstream. Make sure the kernel does not incorrectly create a SIGBUS signal during user space accesses: For user space accesses in the switched addressing mode case the kernel may walk page tables and access user address space via the kernel mapping. If a page table entry is invalid the function __handle_fault() gets called in order to emulate a page fault and trigger all the usual actions like paging in a missing page etc. by calling handle_mm_fault(). If handle_mm_fault() returns with an error fixup handling is necessary. For the switched addressing mode case all errors need to be mapped to -EFAULT, so that the calling uaccess function can return -EFAULT to user space. Unfortunately the __handle_fault() incorrectly calls do_sigbus() if VM_FAULT_SIGBUS is set. This however should only happen if a page fault was triggered by a user space instruction. For kernel mode uaccesses the correct action is to only return -EFAULT. So user space may incorrectly see SIGBUS signals because of this bug. For current machines this would only be possible for the switched addressing mode case in conjunction with futex operations.

commit 0f6f281b upstream. The downgrade of the 4 level page table created by init_new_context is currently done only in start_thread31. If a 31 bit process forks the new mm uses a 4 level page table, including the task size of 2<<42 that goes along with it. This is incorrect as now a 31 bit process can map memory beyond 2GB. Define arch_dup_mmap to do the downgrade after fork. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 0008204f upstream. The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read. One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid. On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE. CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics. This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update. As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles. Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to the problem.

commit f1b00f4d upstream. Commit d83579e2 incorporated some changes from the vendor driver that made it newly important that the calculated hardware version correctly include the CHIP_92D bit, as all of the IS_92D_* macros were changed to depend on it. However, this bit was being unset for dual-mac, dual-phy devices. The vendor driver behavior was modified to not do this, but unfortunately this change was not picked up along with the others. This caused scanning in the 2.4GHz band to be broken, and possibly other bugs as well. This patch brings the version calculation logic in parity with the vendor driver in this regard, and in doing so fixes the regression. However, the version calculation code in general continues to be largely incoherent and messy, and needs to be cleaned up.

commit 3ce4d85b upstream. In commit a7959c13, the USB part of rtlwifi was switched to convert _usb_read_sync() to using a preallocated buffer rather than one that has been acquired using kmalloc. Although this routine is named as though it were synchronous, there seem to be simultaneous users, and the selection of the index to the data buffer is not multi-user safe. This situation is addressed by adding a new spinlock. The routine cannot sleep, thus a mutex is not allowed. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

commit b09e786b upstream. This patch fixes a crash tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel -> sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock)) introduced by commit 1ab5ecb9 The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory and optionally causes a crash. sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that "sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when creating and closing tun devices. This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use, fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow. It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

commit 24ebe667 upstream. tpm_do_selftest() attempts to read a PCR in order to decide if one can rely on the TPM being used or not. The function that's used by __tpm_pcr_read() does not expect the TPM to be disabled or deactivated, and if so, reports an error. It's fine if the TPM returns this error when trying to use it for the first time after a power cycle, but it's definitely not if it already returned success for a previous attempt to read one of its PCRs. The tpm_do_selftest() was modified so that the driver only reports this return code as an error when it really is.

commit 443772d4 upstream. If function tracing is enabled for some of the low-level suspend/resume functions, it leads to triple fault during resume from suspend, ultimately ending up in a reboot instead of a resume (or a total refusal to come out of suspended state, on some machines). This issue was explained in more detail in commit f42ac38c (ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram). However, the changes made by that commit got reverted by commit cbe2f5a6 (tracing: allow tracing of suspend/resume & hibernation code again). So, unfortunately since things are not yet robust enough to allow tracing of low-level suspend/resume functions, suspend/resume is still broken when ftrace is enabled. So fix this by disabling function tracing during suspend/resume & hibernation. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

commit 6751ed65 upstream. In commit dad1743e ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t->si_addr. This would prevent application level recovery from the fault. Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so that we will provide the right information with the signal.

commit c9fc3f77 upstream. Microcode reloading in a per-core manner is a very bad idea for both major x86 vendors. And the thing is, we have such interface with which we can end up with different microcode versions applied on different cores of an otherwise homogeneous wrt (family,model,stepping) system. So turn off the possibility of doing that per core and allow it only system-wide. This is a minimal fix which we'd like to see in stable too thus the more-or-less arbitrary decision to allow system-wide reloading only on the BSP: $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/reload ... and disable the interface on the other cores: $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu23/microcode/reload -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Also, allowing the reload only from one CPU (the BSP in that case) doesn't allow the reload procedure to degenerate into an O(n^2) deal when triggering reloads from all /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/microcode/reload sysfs nodes simultaneously. A more generic fix will follow.
