commit ba661292 upstream The bug was reported and analysed by Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>, the patch is based on his and Roland's suggestions. posix_timer_event() always rewrites the pre-allocated siginfo before sending the signal. Most of the written info is the same all the time, but memset(0) is very wrong. If ->sigq is queued we can race with collect_signal() which can fail to find this siginfo looking at .si_signo, or copy_siginfo() can copy the wrong .si_code/si_tid/etc. In short, sys_timer_settime() can in fact stop the active timer, or the user can receive the siginfo with the wrong .si_xxx values. Move "memset(->info, 0)" from posix_timer_event() to alloc_posix_timer(), change send_sigqueue() to set .si_overrun = 0 when ->sigq is not queued. It would be nice to move the whole sigq->info initialization from send to create path, but this is not easy to do without uglifying timer_create() further. As Roland rightly pointed out, we need more cleanups/fixes here, see the "FIXME" comment in the patch. Hopefully this patch makes sense anyway, and it can mask the most bad implications. Reported-by:

commit 938bb03d uptream Aesthetic regards aside, commit e8e7b9eb still leaves a bug in the error message, because it uses the unconverted big-endian value for printk. Fix this by using a local variable in machine byte order. The result is correct, more readable, and also produces slightly shorter code on i386. Signed-off-by:

commit 32194450 upstream In relay's current read implementation, if the buffer is completely full but hasn't triggered the buffer-full condition (i.e. the last write didn't cross the subbuffer boundary) and the last subbuffer is exactly full, the subbuffer accounting code erroneously finds nothing available. This patch fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:

commit ad337591 upstream It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following: The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However, a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds. Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW, the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.

commit e8bac9e0 upstream The class_device->device conversion is causing an oops in revalidate because it's assuming that the device_for_each_child iterator will only return struct scsi_device children. The conversion made all former class_devices children of the device as well, so this assumption is broken. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

commit 671a99c8 upstream There are a few kerneloops.org reports like this one: http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=ses_match_to_enclosure That seem to imply we're running off the end of the VPD inquiry data (although at 512 bytes, it should be long enough for just about anything). we should be using correctly sized buffers anyway, so put those in and hope this oops goes away.

Test Case : =========================== #include <sys/resource.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <errno.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { int fd,ret, i = 0; char *addr, *addr1 = NULL; unsigned int page_size; struct rlimit rlim; if (0 != geteuid()) { printf("Execute this pgm as root\n"); exit(1); } /* create a file */ if ((fd = open("mmap_test.c",O_RDWR|O_CREAT,0755)) == -1) { printf("cant create test file\n"); exit(1); } page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE); /* set the MEMLOCK limit */ rlim.rlim_cur = 2000; rlim.rlim_max = 2000; if ((ret = setrlimit(RLIMIT_MEMLOCK,&rlim)) != 0) { printf("Cant change limit values\n"); exit(1); } addr = 0; while (1) { /* map a page into memory each time*/ if ((addr = (char *) mmap(addr,page_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,0)) == MAP_FAILED) { printf("cant do mmap on file\n"); exit(1); } if (0 == i) addr1 = addr; i++; errno = 0; /* lock the mapped memory pagewise*/ if ((ret = mlock((char *)addr, 1500)) == -1) { printf("errno value is %d\n", errno); printf("cant lock maped region\n"); exit(1); } addr = addr + page_size; } } ====================================================== This testcase results in an mlock() failure with errno 14 that is EFAULT, but it has nowhere been specified that mlock() will return EFAULT. When I tested the same on older kernels like 2.6.18, I got the correct result i.e errno 12 (ENOMEM). I think in source code mlock(2), setting errno ENOMEM has been missed in do_mlock() , on mlock_fixup() failure. SUSv3 requires the following behavior frmo mlock(2). [ENOMEM] Some or all of the address range specified by the addr and len arguments does not correspond to valid mapped pages in the address space of the process. [EAGAIN] Some or all of the memory identified by the operation could not be locked when the call was made. This rule isn't so nice and slighly strange. but many people think POSIX/SUS compliance is important. Reported-by:

commit 3a0f2c87 upstream When signal is noisy, hardware can use all RX buffers and since the last entry in the list is self-linked, it overwrites the entry until we link new buffers. Ensure that we don't free this last one until we are 100% sure that it is not used by the hardware anymore to not cause memory curruption as can be seen below. This is done by checking next buffer in the list. Even after that we know that the hardware refetched the new link and proceeded further (the next buffer is ready) we can finally free the overwritten buffer. We discard it since the status in its descriptor is overwritten (OR-ed by new status) too. ============================================================================= BUG kmalloc-4096: Poison overwritten ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: 0xffff810067419060-0xffff810067419667.

commit d70b67c8 upstream Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on disk, even after all external references have gone away. This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can overflow. Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory before creating a child dentry. Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing. Reported-by:

commit 3f31fddf upstream journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_FS to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction, then try to free those buffers again.

Ok, do_debug() is a trap, this can happen at any time regardless of the machine's IRQ state. So the first thing we do is fix up the IRQ state. Then we call this die notifier stuff; and return with messed up IRQ state... YAY. So, kprobes fudges it.. notify_die(DIE_DEBUG) kprobe_exceptions_notify() post_kprobe_handler() modify regs->flags trace_hardirqs_fixup_flags(regs->flags); <--- must be it So what's the use of modifying flags if they're not meant to take effect at some point. /me tries to reproduce issue; enable kprobes test thingy && boot OK, that reproduces.. So the below makes it work - but I'm not getting this code; at the time I wrote that stuff I CC'ed each and every kprobe maintainer listed in the usual places but got no reposonse - can some please explain this stuff to me? Are the saved flags only for the TF bit or are they made in full effect later (and if so, where) ? Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit f48ed538 ] There is a possible race in md_probe. If two threads call md_probe for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that ->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add, thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when we try to add children to it. So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to avoid this possibility. Signed-off-by:

commit 3f27e3ed upstream [SCSI] bsg: fix bsg_mutex hang with device removal We don't need to hold bsg_mutex during bsg_complete_all_commands(). It leads to a problem that we block bsg_unregister_queue during bsg_complete_all_commands (untill all the outstanding commands complete). Thanks to Pete Wyckoff for finding the bug and testing the patch. The detailed bug report is: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121182137132145&w=2Tested-by:

netfilter: nf_nat_sip: c= is optional for session Upstream commit c71529e4: According to RFC2327, the connection information is optional in the session description since it can be specified in the media description instead. My provider does exactly that and does not provide any connection information in the session description. As a result the new kernel drops all invite responses. This patch makes it optional as documented. Signed-off-by:

commit 0056e65f upstream We zero-fill them like we are supposed to, and that's all fine. It's only an error if the 'romfs_copyfrom()' routine isn't able to fill the data that is supposed to be there. Most of the patch is really just re-organizing the code a bit, and using separate variables for the error value and for how much of the page we actually filled from the filesystem.

commit 94ad374a upstream The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the next page was unallocated. The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix. Reported-and-tested-by:
