A recent commit: commit 449aad3e introduced the possibility of an A-B/B-A deadlock between bd_mutex and reconfig_mutex. __blkdev_get holds bd_mutex while calling md_open which takes reconfig_mutex, do_md_run is always called with reconfig_mutex held, and it now takes bd_mutex in the call the revalidate_disk. This potential deadlock was not caught by lockdep due to the use of mutex_lock_interruptible_nexted which was introduced by commit d63a5a74 do avoid a warning of an impossible deadlock. It is quite possible to split reconfig_mutex in to two locks. One protects the array data structures while it is being reconfigured, the other ensures that an array is never even partially open while it is being deactivated. In particular, the second lock prevents an open from completing between the time when do_md_stop checks if there are any active opens, and the time when the array is either set read-only, or when ->pers is set to NULL. So we can be certain that no IO is in flight as the array is being destroyed. So create a new lock, open_mutex, just to ensure exclusion between 'open' and 'stop'. This avoids the deadlock and also avoids the lockdep warning mentioned in commit d63a5a74Reported-by: "Mike Snitzer" <snitzer@gmail.com> Reported-by: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Alan Stern authored
This patch (as1273) fixes two(!) bugs introduced by the new Clear-TT-Buffer implementation in ehci-hcd. It is now possible for an idle QH to have some URBs on its queue -- this will happen if a Clear-TT-Buffer is pending for the QH's endpoint. Consequently we should not issue a warning when someone tries to unlink an URB from an idle QH; instead we should process the request immediately. The refcounts for QHs could get messed up, because submit_async() would increment the refcount when calling qh_link_async() and qh_link_async() would then refuse to link the QH into the schedule if a Clear-TT-Buffer was pending. Instead we should increment the refcount only when the QH actually is added to the schedule. The current code tries to be clever by leaving the refcount alone if an unlink is immediately followed by a relink; the patch changes this to an unconditional decrement and increment (although they occur in the opposite order).

access_ok() checks must be done on every part of the userspace structure that is accessed. If access_ok() on one part of the struct succeeded, it does not imply it will succeed on other parts of the struct. (Does depend on the architecture implementation of access_ok()).

invalidate_inode_pages2_range may return -EBUSY occasionally which results Oops. This patch fixes the issue by moving invalidate_inode_pages2_range into a loop and keeping calling it until the return value is not -EBUSY. The EBUSY return is temporary, and can happen when the btrfs release page function is unable to release a page because the EXTENT_LOCK bit is set.

decompress_bunzip2 and decompress_unlzma have a nasty hack that subtracts 4 from the input length if being called in the pre-boot environment. This is a nasty hack because it relies on the fact that flush = NULL only when called from the pre-boot environment (i.e. arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c). initramfs.c/do_mounts_rd.c pass in a flush buffer (flush != NULL). This hack prevents the decompressors from being used with flush = NULL by other callers unless knowledge of the hack is propagated to them. This patch removes the hack by making decompress (called only from the pre-boot environment) a wrapper function that subtracts 4 from the input length before calling the decompressor.

While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from a dying "ps" program, we found following problem. clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This support includes two features. One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the TID value. One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created thread dies. The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone() time. kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid. At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one. As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user memory in forked processes. Following sequence could happen: 1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID ...) syscall 2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context (&THREAD_SELF->tid) 3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program. current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value) 4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits, kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() : if (tsk->clear_child_tid && !(tsk->flags & PF_SIGNALED) && atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) > 1) { u32 __user * tidptr = tsk->clear_child_tid; tsk->clear_child_tid = NULL; /* * We don't check the error code - if userspace has * not set up a proper pointer then tough luck. */ << here >> put_user(0, tidptr); sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0); } 5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped file) If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with unexpected effects. Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.
