Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.
Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:
- Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
finally
- According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.
- ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.
Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were
not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the
kernel. The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g.
J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened
when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted.
In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial:
During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch
CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called.
It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and
one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task
thread info pointer.
Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been
detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for
%cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly
turned zero after the firmware call.
So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes
became clear:
- On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this
problem.
- Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task
thread info pointer was below 4GB.
- Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because
the upper 32bit were zero anyay.
- Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread
info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary.
Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register
before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been
encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk.
When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment
ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area
by further incrementing it if necessary.
When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is
positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used
data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned
erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at
the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata
corruption.
This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata
area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions.
The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception
to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.

When parsing an invalid radiotap header, the parser can overrun
the buffer that is passed in because it doesn't correctly check
1) the minimum radiotap header size
2) the space for extended bitmaps
The first issue doesn't affect any in-kernel user as they all
check the minimum size before calling the radiotap function.
The second issue could potentially affect the kernel if an skb
is passed in that consists only of the radiotap header with a
lot of extended bitmaps that extend past the SKB. In that case
a read-only buffer overrun by at most 4 bytes is possible.
Fix this by adding the appropriate checks to the parser.

Running an "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger" crashes the parisc kernel. The
problem is, that in print_worker_info() we try to read the workqueue info via
the probe_kernel_read() functions which use pagefault_disable() to avoid
crashes like this:
probe_kernel_read(&pwq, &worker->current_pwq, sizeof(pwq));
probe_kernel_read(&wq, &pwq->wq, sizeof(wq));
probe_kernel_read(name, wq->name, sizeof(name) - 1);
The problem here is, that the first probe_kernel_read(&pwq) might return zero
in pwq and as such the following probe_kernel_reads() try to access contents of
the page zero which is read protected and generate a kernel segfault.
With this patch we fix the interruption handler to call parisc_terminate()
directly only if pagefault_disable() was not called (in which case
preempt_count()==0). Otherwise we hand over to the pagefault handler which
will try to look up the faulting address in the fixup tables.

However, my primary reason for adding this is that I need bug-check
macros that are enabled at certain gcc versions and it's cleaner to use
this macro than the tradition method:
Allow architectures which have a disabled get_cycles() function to
provide a random_get_entropy() function which provides a fine-grained,
rapidly changing counter that can be used by the /dev/random driver.
For example, an architecture might have a rapidly changing register
used to control random TLB cache eviction, or DRAM refresh that
doesn't meet the requirements of get_cycles(), but which is good
enough for the needs of the random driver.

Haswell LynxPoint and LynxPoint-LP with the recent Intel BIOS show
mysterious wakeups after shutdown occasionally. After discussing with
BIOS engineers, they explained that the new BIOS expects that the
wakeup sources are cleared and set to D3 for all wakeup devices when
the system is going to sleep or power off, but the current xhci driver
doesn't do this properly (partly intentionally).
This patch introduces a new quirk, XHCI_SPURIOUS_WAKEUP, for
fixing the spurious wakeups at S5 by calling xhci_reset() in the xhci
shutdown ops as done in xhci_stop(), and setting the device to PCI D3
at shutdown and remove ops.
The PCI D3 call is based on the initial fix patch by Oliver Neukum.
[Note: Sarah changed the quirk name from XHCI_HSW_SPURIOUS_WAKEUP to
XHCI_SPURIOUS_WAKEUP, since none of the other quirks have system names
in them. Sarah also fixed a collision with a quirk submitted around the
same time, by changing the xhci->quirks bit from 17 to 18.]

The RWE bit of the USB 2.0 PORTPMSC register is supposed to enable
remote wakeup for devices in the lower power link state L1. It has
nothing to do with the device suspend remote wakeup from L2. The RWE
bit is designed to be set once (when USB 2.0 LPM is enabled for the
port) and cleared only when USB 2.0 LPM is disabled for the port.
The xHCI bus suspend method was setting the RWE bit erroneously, and the
bus resume method was clearing it. The xHCI 1.0 specification with
errata up to Aug 12, 2012 says in section 4.23.5.1.1.1 "Hardware
Controlled LPM":
"While Hardware USB2 LPM is enabled, software shall not modify the
HIRDBESL or RWE fields of the USB2 PORTPMSC register..."
If we have previously enabled USB 2.0 LPM for a device, that means when
the USB 2.0 bus is resumed, we violate the xHCI specification by
clearing RWE. It also means that after a bus resume, the host would
think remote wakeup is disabled from L1 for ports with USB 2.0 Link PM
enabled, which is not what we want.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, that
contain the commit 65580b4321eb36f16ae8b5987bfa1bb948fc5112 "xHCI: set

The crash reported and investigated in commit 5f4513 turned out to be
caused by a change to the read interface on newer (2012) SMCs.
Tests by Chris show that simply reading the data valid line is enough
for the problem to go away. Additional tests show that the newer SMCs
no longer wait for the number of requested bytes, but start sending
data right away. Apparently the number of bytes to read is no longer
specified as before, but instead found out by reading until end of
data. Failure to read until end of data confuses the state machine,
which eventually causes the crash.
As a remedy, assuming bit0 is the read valid line, make sure there is
nothing more to read before leaving the read function.
Tested to resolve the original problem, and runtested on MBA3,1,
MBP4,1, MBP8,2, MBP10,1, MBP10,2. The patch seems to have no effect on

It turns out the kernel relies on barrier() to force a reload of the
percpu offset value. Since we can't easily modify the definition of
barrier() to include "tp" as an output register, we instead provide a
definition of __my_cpu_offset as extended assembly that includes a fake
stack read to hazard against barrier(), forcing gcc to know that it
must reread "tp" and recompute anything based on "tp" after a barrier.
This fixes observed hangs in the slub allocator when we are looping
on a percpu cmpxchg_double.

The out-of-bounds access happens on 'parser->buffer[parser->idx] = 0;'
Although the crash happened in ftrace_regex_open() the real bug
occurred in trace_get_user() where there's an incrementation to
parser->idx without a check against the size. The way it is triggered
is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop
that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because
there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine
what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size.
Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character
with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul
character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory.
Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.
Some Cisco phones create huge messages that are spread over multiple packets.
After calculating the offset of the SIP body, it is validated to be within
the packet and the packet is dropped otherwise. This breaks operation of
these phones. Since connection tracking is supposed to be passive, just let
those packets pass unmodified and untracked.

Three frames are written on a corked udp socket for which the output
netdevice has UFO enabled. If the first and third frame are smaller than
the mtu and the second one is bigger, we enqueue the second frame with
skb_append_datato_frags without initializing the gso fields. This leads
to the third frame appended regulary and thus constructing an invalid skb.
This fixes the problem by always using skb_append_datato_frags as soon
as the first frag got enqueued to the skb without marking the packet
as SKB_GSO_UDP.
The problem with only two frames for ipv6 was fixed by "ipv6: udp
packets following an UFO enqueued packet need also be handled by UFO"

For a 32bit Dom0, if netfront sends packets at a very low rate, the time
between subsequent calls to tx_credit_exceeded() may exceed MAX_ULONG/2
and the test for timer_after_eq() will be incorrect. Credit will not be

ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type
by Fan Yong <yong.fan@whamcloud.com>
Traditionally ext2/3/4 has returned a 32-bit hash value from llseek()
to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir()
and telldir(). However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash
collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same
entries from the directory repeatedly.
Allow ext3 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for
telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions.
This patch does implement a new ext3_dir_llseek op, because with 64-bit
hashes, nfs will attempt to seek to a hash "offset" which is much
larger than ext3's s_maxbytes. So for dx dirs, we call
generic_file_llseek_size() with the appropriate max hash value as the
maximum seekable size. Otherwise we just pass through to
generic_file_llseek().

Use 32-bit or 64-bit llseek() hashes for directory offsets depending on
the NFS version. NFSv2 gets 32-bit hashes only.
NOTE: This patch got rather complex as Christoph asked to set the
filp->f_mode flag in the open call or immediatly after dentry_open()
in nfsd_open() to avoid races.
Personally I still do not see a reason for that and in my opinion
FMODE_32BITHASH/FMODE_64BITHASH flags could be set nfsd_readdir(), as it
follows directly after nfsd_open() without a chance of races.

It does this, but afterwards it either sets up multicast MACs

again, rendering IFF_ALLMULTI flag useless.

In the case of credentials passing in unix stream sockets (dgram
sockets seem not affected), we get a rather sparse race after
commit 16e5726 ("af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default").
We have a stream server on receiver side that requests credential
passing from senders (e.g. nc -U). Since we need to set SO_PASSCRED
on each spawned/accepted socket on server side to 1 first (as it's
not inherited), it can happen that in the time between accept() and
setsockopt() we get interrupted, the sender is being scheduled and
continues with passing data to our receiver. At that time SO_PASSCRED
is neither set on sender nor receiver side, hence in cmsg's
SCM_CREDENTIALS we get eventually pid:0, uid:65534, gid:65534
(== overflow{u,g}id) instead of what we actually would like to see.
On the sender side, here nc -U, the tests in maybe_add_creds()
invoked through unix_stream_sendmsg() would fail, as at that exact
time, as mentioned, the sender has neither SO_PASSCRED on his side
nor sees it on the server side, and we have a valid 'other' socket
in place. Thus, sender believes it would just look like a normal
connection, not needing/requesting SO_PASSCRED at that time.
As reverting 16e5726 would not be an option due to the significant
performance regression reported when having creds always passed,
one way/trade-off to prevent that would be to set SO_PASSCRED on
the listener socket and allow inheriting these flags to the spawned
socket on server side in accept(). It seems also logical to do so
if we'd tell the listener socket to pass those flags onwards, and
would fix the race.

This causes problems if SCTP packets has to be fragmented and

This condition can happen when retransmitting after MTU discover,

ipv6: restrict neighbor entry creation to output flow
This patch is based on 3.2.y branch, the one used by reporter. Please let me
know if it should be different. Thanks.
The patch which introduced the regression was applied on stables:
3.0.64 3.4.31 3.7.8 3.2.39
The patch which introduced the regression was for stable trees only.
---8<---
Commit 0d6a77079c475033cb622c07c5a880b392ef664e "ipv6: do not create
neighbor entries for local delivery" introduced a regression on
which routes to local delivery would not work anymore. Like this:
$ ip -6 route add local 2001::/64 dev lo
$ ping6 -c1 2001::9
PING 2001::9(2001::9) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument
As this is a local delivery, that commit would not allow the creation of a
neighbor entry and thus the packet cannot be sent.
But as TPROXY scenario actually needs to avoid the neighbor entry creation only
for input flow, this patch now limits previous patch to input flow, keeping
output as before that patch.

TCP stack should make sure it owns skbs before mangling them.
We had various crashes using bnx2x, and it turned out gso_size
was cleared right before bnx2x driver was populating TC descriptor
of the _previous_ packet send. TCP stack can sometime retransmit
packets that are still in Qdisc.
Of course we could make bnx2x driver more robust (using
ACCESS_ONCE(shinfo->gso_size) for example), but the bug is TCP stack.
We have identified two points where skb_unclone() was needed.
This patch adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to warn us if we missed another

0d1862e can: flexcan: fix flexcan_chip_start() on imx6
the loop in flexcan_chip_start() that iterates over all mailboxes after the
soft reset of the CAN core was removed. This loop put all mailboxes (even the
ones marked as reserved 1...7) into EMPTY/INACTIVE mode. On mailboxes 8...63,
this aborts any pending TX messages.
After a cold boot there is random garbage in the mailboxes, which leads to
spontaneous transmit of CAN frames during first activation. Further if the
interface was disabled with a pending message (usually due to an error
condition on the CAN bus), this message is retransmitted after enabling the
interface again.
This patch fixes the regression by:
1) Limiting the maximum number of used mailboxes to 8, 0...7 are used by the RX
FIFO, 8 is used by TX.
2) Marking the TX mailbox as EMPTY/INACTIVE, so that any pending TX of that
mailbox is aborted.

of 8 channels each. It reads up to 32 1-bit channels but can only read
and write a whole port at once - it needs to handle up to 5 ports as the
first channel it reads might not be aligned on a port boundary. It
breaks out of the loop early if the next port it handles is beyond the
final port on the card. It also breaks out early on the 5th port in the
loop if the first channel was aligned. Unfortunately, it doesn't check
that the current port it is dealing with belongs to the comedi subdevice
the `insn_bits` handler is acting on. That's a bug.
Redo the `for` loop to terminate after the final port belonging to the
subdevice, changing the loop variable in the process to simplify things
a bit. The `for` loop could now try and handle more than 5 ports if the
subdevice has more than 40 channels, but the test `if (bitshift >= 32)`
ensures it will break out early after 4 or 5 ports (depending on whether
the first channel is aligned on a port boundary). (`bitshift` will be
between -7 and 7 inclusive on the first iteration, increasing by 8 for
each subsequent operation.)

When trying to mount a file system which does not contain a journal,
but which does have a orphan list containing an inode which needs to
be truncated, the mount call with hang forever in
ext4_orphan_cleanup() because ext4_orphan_del() will return
immediately without removing the inode from the orphan list, leading
to an uninterruptible loop in kernel code which will busy out one of
the CPU's on the system.
This can be trivially reproduced by trying to mount the file system
found in tests/f_orphan_extents_inode/image.gz from the e2fsprogs
source tree. If a malicious user were to put this on a USB stick, and
mount it on a Linux desktop which has automatic mounts enabled, this
could be considered a potential denial of service attack. (Not a big
deal in practice, but professional paranoids worry about such things,
and have even been known to allocate CVE numbers for such problems.)

The halted state of a endpoint cannot be cleared over CLEAR_HALT from a
user process, because the stopped_td variable was overwritten in the
handle_stopped_endpoint() function. So the xhci_endpoint_reset() function will
refuse the reset and communication with device can not run over this endpoint.

The arg64 struct has a hole after ->buf_size which isn't cleared. Or if
any of the calls to copy_from_user() fail then that would cause an
information leak as well.
This was assigned CVE-2013-2147.

iscsi_if_send_reply() may return -ESRCH if there were no targets to send
data to. Currently we're ignoring this value and looping in attempt to do it
over and over, which will usually lead in a hung task like this one:
