      ip_gre: dont increase dev->needed_headroom on a live device · 113ab386
      Eric Dumazet authored
      It seems ip_gre is able to change dev->needed_headroom on the fly.
      
      Its is not legal unfortunately and triggers a BUG in raw_sendmsg()
      
      skb = sock_alloc_send_skb(sk, ... + LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE(rt->dst.dev)
      
      < another cpu change dev->needed_headromm (making it bigger)
      
      ...
      skb_reserve(skb, LL_RESERVED_SPACE(rt->dst.dev));
      
      We end with LL_RESERVED_SPACE() being bigger than LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE()
      -> we crash later because skb head is exhausted.
      
      Bug introduced in commit 243aad83 in 2.6.34 (ip_gre: include route
      header_len in max_headroom calculation)

      mm: fix race between mremap and removing migration entry · 486cf46f
      Hugh Dickins authored
      I don't usually pay much attention to the stale "? " addresses in
      stack backtraces, but this lucky report from Pawel Sikora hints that
      mremap's move_ptes() has inadequate locking against page migration.
      
       3.0 BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page():
       kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105!
       RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81127b76>]  [<ffffffff81127b76>]
                             migration_entry_wait+0x156/0x160
        [<ffffffff811016a1>] handle_pte_fault+0xae1/0xaf0
        [<ffffffff810feee2>] ? __pte_alloc+0x42/0x120
        [<ffffffff8112c26b>] ? do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page+0xab/0x310
        [<ffffffff81102a31>] handle_mm_fault+0x181/0x310
        [<ffffffff81106097>] ? vma_adjust+0x537/0x570
        [<ffffffff81424bed>] do_page_fault+0x11d/0x4e0
        [<ffffffff81109a05>] ? do_mremap+0x2d5/0x570
        [<ffffffff81421d5f>] page_fault+0x1f/0x30
      
      mremap's down_write of mmap_sem, together with i_mmap_mutex or lock,
      and pagetable locks, were good enough before page migration (with its
      requirement that every migration entry be found) came in, and enough
      while migration always held mmap_sem; but not enough nowadays, when
      there's memory hotremove and compaction.
      
      The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around
      behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when
      looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old.
      
      Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or
      migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry()
      before it takes pagetable lock.
      
      Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration
      than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.
