2013-06-13packet: packet_getname_spkt: make sure string is always 0-terminatedDaniel Borkmann1-3/+2
uaddr->sa_data is exactly of size 14, which is hard-coded here and passed as a size argument to strncpy(). A device name can be of size IFNAMSIZ (== 16), meaning we might leave the destination string unterminated. Thus, use strlcpy() and also sizeof() while we're at it. We need to memset the data area beforehand, since strlcpy does not padd the remaining buffer with zeroes for user space, so that we do not possibly leak anything.

2013-06-13Merge tag 'batman-adv-fix-for-davem' of git://git.open-mesh.org/linux-mergeDavid S. Miller3-35/+60
Included change: - fix "rtnl locked" concurrent executions by using rtnl_lock instead of rtnl_trylock. This fix enables batman-adv initialisation to do not fail just because somewhere else in the system another code path is holding the rtnl lock. It is easy to see the problem when batman-adv is trying to start together with other networking components. - fix the routing protocol forwarding policy by enhancing the duplicate control packet detection. When the right circumstances trigger the issue, some nodes in the network become totally unreachable, so breaking the mesh connectivity. - fix the Bridge Loop Avoidance component by not running the originator address change handling routine when the component is disabled. The routine was generating useless packets that were sent over the network. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-06-13xen-netback: don't de-reference vif pointer after having called xenvif_put()Jan Beulich1-5/+6
When putting vif-s on the rx notify list, calling xenvif_put() must be deferred until after the removal from the list and the issuing of the notification, as both operations dereference the pointer. Changing this got me to notice that the "irq" variable was effectively unused (and was of too narrow type anyway).

2013-06-13macvlan: don't touch promisc without passthroughMichael S. Tsirkin1-7/+13
commit df8ef8f3aaa6692970a436204c4429210addb23a "macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flags" added a way to control NOPROMISC macvlan flag through netlink. However, with a non passthrough device we never set promisc on open, even if NOPROMISC is off. As a result: If userspace clears NOPROMISC on open, then does not clear it on a netlink command, promisc counter is not decremented on stop and there will be no way to clear it once macvlan is detached. If userspace does not clear NOPROMISC on open, then sets NOPROMISC on a netlink command, promisc counter will be decremented from 0 and overflow to fffffffff with no way to clear promisc. To fix, simply ignore NOPROMISC flag in a netlink command for non-passthrough devices, same as we do at open/close. Since we touch this code anyway - check dev_set_promiscuity return code and pass it to users (though an error here is unlikely). Cc: "David S.

2013-06-12mm: memcontrol: fix lockless reclaim hierarchy iteratorJohannes Weiner1-7/+5
The lockless reclaim hierarchy iterator currently has a misplaced barrier that can lead to use-after-free crashes. The reclaim hierarchy iterator consist of a sequence count and a position pointer that are read and written locklessly, with memory barriers enforcing ordering. The write side sets the position pointer first, then updates the sequence count to "publish" the new position. Likewise, the read side must read the sequence count first, then the position. If the sequence count is up to date, it's guaranteed that the position is up to date as well: writer: reader: iter->position = position if iter->sequence == expected: smp_wmb() smp_rmb() iter->sequence = sequence position = iter->position However, the read side barrier is currently misplaced, which can lead to dereferencing stale position pointers that no longer point to valid memory. Fix this.

2013-06-12frontswap: fix incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_mapAkinobu Mita2-2/+2
The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map. The incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated allocation size may cause the problem. For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice as large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.

2013-06-12kernel/audit_tree.c:audit_add_tree_rule(): protect `rule' from kill_rules()Chen Gang1-0/+1
audit_add_tree_rule() must set 'rule->tree = NULL;' firstly, to protect the rule itself freed in kill_rules(). The reason is when it is killed, the 'rule' itself may have already released, we should not access it. one example: we add a rule to an inode, just at the same time the other task is deleting this inode. The work flow for adding a rule: audit_receive() -> (need audit_cmd_mutex lock) audit_receive_skb() -> audit_receive_msg() -> audit_receive_filter() -> audit_add_rule() -> audit_add_tree_rule() -> (need audit_filter_mutex lock) ... unlock audit_filter_mutex get_tree() ... iterate_mounts() -> (iterate all related inodes) tag_mount() -> tag_trunk() -> create_trunk() -> (assume it is 1st rule) fsnotify_add_mark() -> fsnotify_add_inode_mark() -> (add mark to inode->i_fsnotify_marks) ... get_tree(); (each inode will get one) ... lock audit_filter_mutex The work flow for deleting an inode: __destroy_inode() -> fsnotify_inode_delete() -> __fsnotify_inode_delete() -> fsnotify_clear_marks_by_inode() -> (get mark from inode->i_fsnotify_marks) fsnotify_destroy_mark() -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() -> audit_tree_freeing_mark() -> evict_chunk() -> ... tree->goner = 1 ... kill_rules() -> (assume current->audit_context == NULL) call_rcu() -> (rule->tree != NULL) audit_free_rule_rcu() -> audit_free_rule() ... audit_schedule_prune() -> (assume current->audit_context == NULL) kthread_run() -> (need audit_cmd_mutex and audit_filter_mutex lock) prune_one() -> (delete it from prue_list) put_tree(); (match the original get_tree above) Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen@asianux.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-06-12mm: migration: add migrate_entry_wait_huge()Naoya Horiguchi3-6/+22
When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally experience long delay or soft lockup. This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

2013-06-12mm/page_alloc.c: fix watermark check in __zone_watermark_ok()Tomasz Stanislawski1-2/+4
The watermark check consists of two sub-checks. The first one is: if (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) return false; The check assures that there is minimal amount of RAM in the zone. If CMA is used then the free_pages is reduced by the number of free pages in CMA prior to the over-mentioned check. if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CMA)) free_pages -= zone_page_state(z, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES); This prevents the zone from being drained from pages available for non-movable allocations. The second check prevents the zone from getting too fragmented. for (o = 0; o < order; o++) { free_pages -= z->free_area[o].nr_free << o; min >>= 1; if (free_pages <= min) return false; } The field z->free_area[o].nr_free is equal to the number of free pages including free CMA pages. Therefore the CMA pages are subtracted twice. This may cause a false positive fail of __zone_watermark_ok() if the CMA area gets strongly fragmented. In such a case there are many 0-order free pages located in CMA. Those pages are subtracted twice therefore they will quickly drain free_pages during the check against fragmentation. The test fails even though there are many free non-cma pages in the zone. This patch fixes this issue by subtracting CMA pages only for a purpose of (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) check. Laura said: We were observing allocation failures of higher order pages (order 5 = 128K typically) under tight memory conditions resulting in driver failure. The output from the page allocation failure showed plenty of free pages of the appropriate order/type/zone and mostly CMA pages in the lower orders. For full disclosure, we still observed some page allocation failures even after applying the patch but the number was drastically reduced and those failures were attributed to fragmentation/other system issues.

2013-06-12aio: fix io_destroy() regression by using call_rcu()Kent Overstreet1-20/+16
There was a regression introduced by 36f5588905c1 ("aio: refcounting cleanup"), reported by Jens Axboe - the refcounting cleanup switched to using RCU in the shutdown path, but the synchronize_rcu() was done in the context of the io_destroy() syscall greatly increasing the time it could block. This patch switches it to call_rcu() and makes shutdown asynchronous (more asynchronous than it was originally; before the refcount changes io_destroy() would still wait on pending kiocbs). Note that there's a global quota on the max outstanding kiocbs, and that quota must be manipulated synchronously; otherwise io_setup() could return -EAGAIN when there isn't quota available, and userspace won't have any way of waiting until shutdown of the old kioctxs has finished (besides busy looping). So we release our quota before kioctx shutdown has finished, which should be fine since the quota never corresponded to anything real anyways.

2013-06-12rtc-at91rm9200: add match-table compile guardJohan Hovold1-0/+2
The members of Atmel's at91sam9x5 family (9x5) have a broken RTC interrupt mask register (AT91_RTC_IMR). It does not reflect enabled interrupts but instead always returns zero. The kernel's rtc-at91rm9200 driver handles the RTC for the 9x5 family. Currently when the date/time is set, an interrupt is generated and this driver neglects to handle the interrupt. The kernel complains about the un-handled interrupt and disables it henceforth. This not only breaks the RTC function, but since that interrupt is shared (Atmel's SYS interrupt) then other things break as well (e.g. the debug port no longer accepts characters). Tested on the at91sam9g25. Bug confirmed by Atmel. This patch (of 5): Add missing match-table compile guard.

2013-06-12swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to deadlock while waiting on ↵Rafael Aquini1-1/+17
discard I/O completion read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought into the swapcache yet. This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT. This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary, thus avoiding the subtle race window.

2013-06-12drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: fix missing device_init_wakeup() when booted with ↵Tony Lindgren1-0/+1
device tree When booted in legacy mode device_init_wakeup() gets called by drivers/mfd/twl-core.c when the children are initialized. However, when booted using device tree, the children are created with of_platform_populate() instead add_children(). This means that the RTC driver will not have device_init_wakeup() set, and we need to call it from the driver probe like RTC drivers typically do. Without this we cannot test PM wake-up events on omaps for cases where there may not be any physical wake-up event.

During resume, we call hpet_rtc_timer_init after masking an irq bit in hpet. This will cause the call to hpet_disable_rtc_channel to be undone if RTC_AIE is the only bit not masked. Allowing the cmos interrupt handler to run before resuming caused some issues where the timer for the alarm was not removed. This would cause other, later timers to not be cleared, so utilities such as hwclock would time out when waiting for the update interrupt.

2013-06-12kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsgKees Cook3-48/+57
The dmesg_restrict sysctl currently covers the syslog method for access dmesg, however /dev/kmsg isn't covered by the same protections. Most people haven't noticed because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the syslog method for access in older versions. With util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg. To fix /dev/kmsg, let's compare the existing interfaces and what they allow: - /proc/kmsg allows: - open (SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN) if CAP_SYSLOG since it uses a destructive single-reader interface (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ). - everything, after an open. - syslog syscall allows: - anything, if CAP_SYSLOG. - SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL and SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER, if dmesg_restrict==0. - nothing else (EPERM). The use-cases were: - dmesg(1) needs to do non-destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALLs. - sysklog(1) needs to open /proc/kmsg, drop privs, and still issue the destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READs. AIUI, dmesg(1) is moving to /dev/kmsg, and systemd-journald doesn't clear the ring buffer. Based on the comments in devkmsg_llseek, it sounds like actions besides reading aren't going to be supported by /dev/kmsg (i.e. SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR), so we have a strict subset of the non-destructive syslog syscall actions. To this end, move the check as Josh had done, but also rename the constants to reflect their new uses (SYSLOG_FROM_CALL becomes SYSLOG_FROM_READER, and SYSLOG_FROM_FILE becomes SYSLOG_FROM_PROC). SYSLOG_FROM_READER allows non-destructive actions, and SYSLOG_FROM_PROC allows destructive actions after a capabilities-constrained SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN check. - /dev/kmsg allows: - open if CAP_SYSLOG or dmesg_restrict==0 - reading/polling, after open Addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903192 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use pr_warn_once()] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reported-by: Christian Kujau <lists@nerdbynature.de> Tested-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-06-12reboot: rigrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpuRobin Holt1-3/+26
We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16 minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit f96972f2dc63 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()"). The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot. This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu command line parameter.

John W. Linville says: ==================== For now I have dropped the mac80211 tree from this request. We are developing a little backlog of fixes and I would like to avoid introducing any more uncertainty to this pull request for the 3.10 stream. All the other bits are the same as what was in the 2013-06-06 request, including the ath9k fixes intended to address the problems observed by Linus w/ his Pixel, and a CVE fix for a potential security issue in the b43 driver. Regarding the wl12xx bits, Luca says: "Here are three patches that I'd like to get into 3.10. Two of them, by me, are related to the firmware version checks in our driver. Without them, the firmwares fail to load. The other one, by Eliad, fixes a typo bug in our 5GHz scanning code." And as for the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "The following patches are important bug fixes for 3.10, plus the support for a new device. We do have three fixes from Johan. The first one is a fix to avoid LE-only devices to rely on the (inexistent) extended features data. The second patch fixes length checks on incoming L2CAP signalling PDUs so we can discard PDU whose size doesn't match the one reported in the header. The last one fixes the handling of power on failures, we now report proper errors to mgmt when hci_dev_open()." Along with that... Larry Finger corrects an rtlwifi problem that caused some devices to refuse to connect to non-WPA2 networks if the device had previously assocated with a WPA2 network. He also adds a one-line fix to prevent false reports from kmemleak. Mark A. Greer fixes an out of bounds array access in mwifiex. Felix Fietkau reverts an earlier ath9k initval patch that reduced rx sensitivity in a number of ath9k devices with no corresponding benefit. Kees Cook fixes a potential uid-0 to ring-0 escalation in b43 (CVE-2013-2852). Sujith Manoharan turns-off powersave mode by default for ath9k, and also defaults ath9k to use the minstrel_ht rate control algorithm. Both of these are believed to contribute to greater stability/usability of ath9k in real-world situations.
