commit 59b33f14 upstream. 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. Signed-off-by:

If we don't do the return, we over-write the previous allocation pointers, so we leak either way. Spotted with Coverity.

commit 0e9a9a1a upstream. 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.) -js: This is a fix for CVE-2013-2015.

commit b6c60c80 upstream. Previously we only added blocks to the list to have their backrefs checked if the level of the block is right above the one we are searching for. This is because we want to make sure we don't add the entire path up to the root to the lists to make sure we process things one at a time. This assumes that if any blocks in the path to the root are going to be not checked (shared in other words) then they will be in the level right above the current block on up. This isn't quite right though since we can have blocks higher up the list that are shared because they are attached to a reloc root. But we won't add this block to be checked and then later on we will BUG_ON(!upper->checked). So instead keep track of wether or not we've queued a block to be checked in this current search, and if we haven't go ahead and queue it to be checked. This patch fixed the panic I was seeing where we BUG_ON(!upper->checked). Thanks, Signed-off-by:

commit f862eefe upstream. 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. A similar fix for ARMv7 was made in June in change 509eb76e . Signed-off-by:

commit 677a3156 upstream. The `insn_bits` handler `ni_65xx_dio_insn_bits()` has a `for` loop that currently writes (optionally) and reads back up to 5 "ports" consisting 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.) Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 21af8107 ] Meelis Roos reports a crash in esp_free_lun_tag() in the presense of a disk which has died. The issue is that when we issue an autosense command, we do so by hijacking the original command that caused the check-condition. When we do so we clear out the ent->tag[] array when we issue it via find_and_prep_issuable_command(). This is so that the autosense command is forced to be issued non-tagged. That is problematic, because it is the value of ent->tag[] which determines whether we issued the original scsi command as tagged vs. non-tagged (see esp_alloc_lun_tag()). And that, in turn, is what trips up the sanity checks in esp_free_lun_tag(). That function needs the original ->tag[] values in order to free up the tag slot properly. Fix this by remembering the original command's tag values, and having esp_alloc_lun_tag() and esp_free_lun_tag() use them. Reported-by:

commit 1cf389df upstream. Under heavy (DLPAR?) stress, we tripped this panic() in arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c::iommu_init_table(): page = alloc_pages_node(nid, GFP_ATOMIC, get_order(sz)); if (!page) panic("iommu_init_table: Can't allocate %ld bytes\n", sz); Before the panic() we got a page allocation failure for an order-2 allocation. There appears to be memory free, but perhaps not in the ATOMIC context. I looked through all the call-sites of iommu_init_table() and didn't see any obvious reason to need an ATOMIC allocation. Most call-sites in fact have an explicit GFP_KERNEL allocation shortly before the call to iommu_init_table(), indicating we are not in an atomic context. There is some indirection for some paths, but I didn't see any locks indicating that GFP_KERNEL is inappropriate. With this change under the same conditions, we have not been able to reproduce the panic. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 5a0068de ] Recently grabbed this report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005567 Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up: dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of device might be broken. The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification. With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond mac address were in sync, but no longer are. This triggers a call to dev_uc_add and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device. Then, when we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave. But since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode to begin with, causing the above error Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity. This is also needed for the ALLMULTI flag Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 2811ebac ] In the following scenario the socket is corked: If the first UDP packet is larger then the mtu we try to append it to the write queue via ip6_ufo_append_data. A following packet, which is smaller than the mtu would be appended to the already queued up gso-skb via plain ip6_append_data. This causes random memory corruptions. In ip6_ufo_append_data we also have to be careful to not queue up the same skb multiple times. So setup the gso frame only when no first skb is available. This also fixes a shortcoming where we add the current packet's length to cork->length but return early because of a packet > mtu with dontfrag set (instead of sutracting it again).
