      Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases · 2b047252
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Ben Tebulin reported:
      
       "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
        repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
        failures.  This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
        reproduced stably on two independent laptops.  Git mailing list ran
        out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"
      
      and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc6 ("mm:
      limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").
      
      That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
      much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
      introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
      happened when running out of memory.
      
      The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
      buggered.  It was introduced in commit 597e1c35 ("mm/mmu_gather:
      enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
      was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a9 ("mm: fix the TLB
      range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
      was not complete.
      
      The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
      set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
      the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
      functions that actually flush the TLB.  And so any such case that forgot
      to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.
      
      Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
      setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
      zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
      did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
      TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
      when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.
      
      This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler.  And the end
      result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
      partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
      range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
      bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.
      
      Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

      openvswitch: Reset tunnel key between input and output. · 36bf5cc6
      Jesse Gross authored
      It doesn't make sense to output a tunnel packet using the same
      parameters that it was received with since that will generally
      just result in the packet going back to us. As a result, userspace
      assumes that the tunnel key is cleared when transitioning through
      the switch. In the majority of cases this doesn't matter since a
      packet is either going to a tunnel port (in which the key is
      overwritten with new values) or to a non-tunnel port (in which
      case the key is ignored). However, it's theoreticaly possible that
      userspace could rely on the documented behavior, so this corrects
      it.

      Pravin B Shelar authored
      Flex array is used to allocate hash buckets which is type struct
      hlist_head, but we use `struct hlist_head *` to calculate
      array size.  Since hlist_head is of size pointer it works fine.
      
      Following patch use correct type.

      As diagnosed by Andreas, fs/btrfs/volumes.c:__btrfs_map_block()
      calls
      
          do_div(stripe_nr, stripe_len);
      
      with stripe_len u64, while do_div() assumes the divisor is a 32-bit number.
      
      Due to the lack of truncation in the m68k-specific implementation of
      do_div(), the division is performed using the upper 32-bit word of
      stripe_len, which is zero.
      
      This was introduced by commit 53b381b3
      ("Btrfs: RAID5 and RAID6"), which changed the divisor from
      map->stripe_len (struct map_lookup.stripe_len is int) to a 64-bit temporary.

      m68k/atari: ARAnyM - Fix NatFeat module support · e8184e10
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored
      As pointed out by Andreas Schwab, pointers passed to ARAnyM NatFeat calls
      should be physical addresses, not virtual addresses.
      
      Fortunately on Atari, physical and virtual kernel addresses are the same,
      as long as normal kernel memory is concerned, so this usually worked fine
      without conversion.
      
      But for modules, pointers to literal strings are located in vmalloc()ed
      memory. Depending on the version of ARAnyM, this causes the nf_get_id()
      call to just fail, or worse, crash ARAnyM itself with e.g.
      
          Gotcha! Illegal memory access. Atari PC = $968c
      
      This is a big issue for distro kernels, who want to have all drivers as
      loadable modules in an initrd.
      
      Add a wrapper for nf_get_id() that copies the literal to the stack to
      work around this issue.

      tun: compare with 0 instead of total_len · d9bf5f13
      Weiping Pan authored
      Since we set "len = total_len" in the beginning of tun_get_user(),
      so we should compare the new len with 0, instead of total_len,
      or the if statement always returns false.

      rtnetlink: rtnl_bridge_getlink: Call nlmsg_find_attr() with ifinfomsg header · 3e805ad2
      Asbjoern Sloth Toennesen authored
      Fix the iproute2 command `bridge vlan show`, after switching from
      rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg.
      
      Let's start with a little history:
      
      Feb 20:   Vlad Yasevich got his VLAN-aware bridge patchset included in
                the 3.9 merge window.
                In the kernel commit 6cbdceeb, he added attribute support to
                bridge GETLINK requests sent with rtgenmsg.
      
      Mar 6th:  Vlad got this iproute2 reference implementation of the bridge
                vlan netlink interface accepted (iproute2 9eff0e5c)
      
      Apr 25th: iproute2 switched from using rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg (63338dca)
                http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/239602/
                http://marc.info/?t=136680900700007
      
      Apr 28th: Linus released 3.9
      
      Apr 30th: Stephen released iproute2 3.9.0
      
      The `bridge vlan show` command haven't been working since the switch to
      ifinfomsg, or in a released version of iproute2. Since the kernel side
      only supports rtgenmsg, which iproute2 switched away from just prior to
      the iproute2 3.9.0 release.
      
      I haven't been able to find any documentation, about neither rtgenmsg
      nor ifinfomsg, and in which situation to use which, but kernel commit
      88c5b5ce seams to suggest that ifinfomsg should be used.
      
      Fixing this in kernel will break compatibility, but I doubt that anybody
      have been using it due to this bug in the user space reference
      implementation, at least not without noticing this bug. That said the
      functionality is still fully functional in 3.9, when reversing iproute2
      commit 63338dca.
      
      This could also be fixed in iproute2, but thats an ugly patch that would
      reintroduce rtgenmsg in iproute2, and from searching in netdev it seams
      like rtgenmsg usage is discouraged. I'm assuming that the only reason
      that Vlad implemented the kernel side to use rtgenmsg, was because
      iproute2 was using it at the time.

      fs/proc/task_mmu.c: fix buffer overflow in add_page_map() · 8c829622
      yonghua zheng authored
      Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enabling
      CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR.  After debuggind we found this has something
      to do with following bug in pagemap:
      
      In struct pagemapread:
      
        struct pagemapread {
            int pos, len;
            pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
            bool v2;
        };
      
      pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of
      buffer, it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for
      checking buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and
      random kernel panic issue.
      
      Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.
      
      [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document pagemapread.pos and .len units, fix PM_ENTRY_BYTES definition]
