commit fb2162df upstream. Commit 48b32a35 ("reiserfs: use generic xattr handlers") introduced a problem that causes corruption when extended attributes are replaced with a smaller value. The issue is that the reiserfs_setattr to shrink the xattr file was moved from before the write to after the write. The root issue has always been in the reiserfs xattr code, but was papered over by the fact that in the shrink case, the file would just be expanded again while the xattr was written. The end result is that the last 8 bytes of xattr data are lost. This patch fixes it to use new_size. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14826 Signed-off-by:

commit cac36f70 upstream. Commit 677c9b2e ("reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookup") removed the magic from the lookup code to hide the .reiserfs_priv directory since it was getting loaded at mount-time instead. The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty. This introduced a security issue where unprivileged users could access and modify extended attributes or ACLs belonging to other users, including root. This patch resolves the issue by properly hiding .reiserfs_priv. This was the intent of the xattr poisoning code, but it appears to have never worked as expected. This is fixed by using d_revalidate instead of d_compare. This patch makes -oexpose_privroot a no-op. I'm fine leaving it this way. The effort involved in working out the corner cases wrt permissions and caching outweigh the benefit of the feature. Signed-off-by:

Ever for 32-bit with sufficiently high NR_CPUS, and starting with commit 789d03f5 also for 64-bit, the statically allocated early fixmap page tables were not covering FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, leading to a boot time crash when "ohci1394_dma=early" was used. Despite this entry not being a permanently used one, it needs to be moved into the permanent range since it has to be close to FIX_DBGP_BASE and FIX_EARLYCON_MEM_BASE.

The initial problem report was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well. On examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy was requested.

commit 76595f79 upstream. Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of pipes. This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe when it is created. The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero Reverts a pipe-affecting change which was accidentally made in : commit c46f739d : Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> : AuthorDate: Wed Nov 28 13:59:18 2007 +0100 : Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org> : CommitDate: Wed Nov 28 10:58:01 2007 -0800 : : vfs: coredumping fix Signed-off-by:

commit 7ab02af4 upstream. Commit 221af7f8 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint, but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a bit more careful. In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup' stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state that we're just setting up. So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()', which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment. This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu environment. Reported-and-tested-by:

And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing for a 32-bit compat process. Everything becomes much more straightforward this way. Signed-off-by:

commit 221af7f8 upstream. 'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by:

Perhaps when scsi_remove_host is called,the scsi mid layer is sending some request. This doesn't occur for bare drives becuase the driver is already reporting those drives deleted prior to calling mpt2sas_base_detach. To solve this issue, we need to delete the volumes as well.

The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based deep C-states are being used).

commit bca47613 upstream. When controlling an industrial radio modem it can be necessary to manipulate the handshake lines in order to control the radio modem's transmitter, from userspace. The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been transmitted. serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were transmitted before they actually were. === Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers as follows: I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little different than the standard. This type of expansion board is very common. "Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device. The NetMos device does it slightly different I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register. The problem is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information. My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does not affect the already correct devices. Alan: We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with dodgy THRE. Signed-off-by:

commit b6c3f5be upstream. Commit c7ab5ef9 entitled "b43: implement short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling. Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s. Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs. Signed-off-by:

commit 7dc482df upstream. Almost all r128's private ioctls require that the CCE state has already been initialised. However, most do not test that this has been done, and will proceed to dereference a null pointer. This may result in a security vulnerability, since some ioctls are unprivileged. This adds a macro for the common initialisation test and changes all ioctl implementations that require prior initialisation to use that macro. Also, r128_do_init_cce() does not test that the CCE state has not been initialised already. Repeated initialisation may lead to a crash or resource leak. This adds that test. Signed-off-by:

commit f12f98db upstream. cifs_from_ucs2 returns the length of the converted name, including the length of the NULL terminator. We don't want to include the NULL terminator in the dentry name length however since that'll throw off the hash calculation for the dentry cache. I believe that this is the root cause of several problems that have cropped up recently that seem to be papered over with the "noserverino" mount option. More confirmation of that would be good, but this is clearly a bug and it fixes at least one reproducible problem that was reported. This patch fixes at least this reproducer in this kernel.org bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15088#c12 Reported-by:

commit 4481374c upstream. Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages). Signed-off-by:

commit 3de0ef4f upstream. If we do rename a dir entry, like this: rename("/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename1", "/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename2") rename("/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename2", "/tmp/ino7UrgoJ") The duplicate events should be coalesced into a single event. But those two events do not be coalesced into a single event, due to some bad check in event_compare(). It can not match the two NULL inodes as the same event. Signed-off-by:

commit 94552684 upstream. Mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in dnotify_handle_event(). Otherwise, when there is more than one watch on a directory and dnotify_should_send_event() succeeds, events with FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD set will trigger all watches and cause spurious events. This case was overlooked in commit e42e2773 . #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <string.h> static void create_event(int s, siginfo_t* si, void* p) { printf("create\n"); } static void delete_event(int s, siginfo_t* si, void* p) { printf("delete\n"); } int main (void) { struct sigaction action; char *tmpdir, *file; int fd1, fd2; sigemptyset (&action.sa_mask); action.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO; action.sa_sigaction = create_event; sigaction (SIGRTMIN + 0, &action, NULL); action.sa_sigaction = delete_event; sigaction (SIGRTMIN + 1, &action, NULL); # define TMPDIR "/tmp/test.XXXXXX" tmpdir = malloc(strlen(TMPDIR) + 1); strcpy(tmpdir, TMPDIR); mkdtemp(tmpdir); # define TMPFILE "/file" file = malloc(strlen(tmpdir) + strlen(TMPFILE) + 1); sprintf(file, "%s/%s", tmpdir, TMPFILE); fd1 = open (tmpdir, O_RDONLY); fcntl(fd1, F_SETSIG, SIGRTMIN); fcntl(fd1, F_NOTIFY, DN_MULTISHOT | DN_CREATE); fd2 = open (tmpdir, O_RDONLY); fcntl(fd2, F_SETSIG, SIGRTMIN + 1); fcntl(fd2, F_NOTIFY, DN_MULTISHOT | DN_DELETE); if (fork()) { /* This triggers a create event */ creat(file, 0600); /* This triggers a create and delete event (!) */ unlink(file); } else { sleep(1); rmdir(tmpdir); } return 0; } Signed-off-by:

commit b0bcdd3c upstream. Different motherboards have different PNP declarations for W83781D/W83782D chips. Some declare the whole range of I/O ports (8 ports), some declare only the useful ports (2 ports at offset 5) and some declare fancy ranges, for example 4 ports at offset 4. To properly handle all cases, request all ports individually for probing. After we have determined that we really have a W83781D or W83782D chip, the useful port range will be requested again, as a single block. I did not see a board which needs this yet, but I know of one for lm78 driver and I'd like to keep the logic of these two drivers in sync. Signed-off-by:
