Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);
But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.
Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.
And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.
So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.
Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

====================
Fix issues with Heper-V network offload code
WS2008 R2 does not support udp checksum offload. Furthermore, ws2012 and
ws2012 r2 have issues offloading udp checksum from Linux guests.
This patch-set addresses these issues as well as other bug fixes.
Please apply.
In this version, I have addressed the comment from David Miller with reagards
to COWing the skb prior to modifying the header (patch 3/3).

ws2008r2 does not support UDP checksum offload. Thus, we cannnot turn on
UDP offload in the host. Also, on ws2012 and ws2012 r2, there appear to be
an issue with UDP checksum offload.
Fix this issue by computing the UDP checksum in the Hyper-V driver.
Based on Dave Miller's comments, in this version, I have COWed the skb
before modifying the UDP header (the checksum field).

br_allowed_ingress() has two problems.
1. If br_allowed_ingress() is called by br_handle_frame_finish() and
vlan_untag() in br_allowed_ingress() fails, skb will be freed by both
vlan_untag() and br_handle_frame_finish().
2. If br_allowed_ingress() is called by br_dev_xmit() and
br_allowed_ingress() fails, the skb will not be freed.
Fix these two problems by freeing the skb in br_allowed_ingress()
if it fails.

In case of tcp, gso_size contains the tcpmss.
For UFO (udp fragmentation offloading) skbs, gso_size is the fragment
payload size, i.e. we must not account for udp header size.
Otherwise, when using virtio drivers, a to-be-forwarded UFO GSO packet
will be needlessly fragmented in the forward path, because we think its
individual segments are too large for the outgoing link.

In function sctp_wake_up_waiters(), we need to involve a test
if the association is declared dead. If so, we don't have any
reference to a possible sibling association anymore and need
to invoke sctp_write_space() instead, and normally walk the
socket's associations and notify them of new wmem space. The
reason for special casing is that otherwise, we could run
into the following issue when a sctp_primitive_SEND() call
from sctp_sendmsg() fails, and tries to flush an association's
outq, i.e. in the following way:
sctp_association_free()
`-> list_del(&asoc->asocs) <-- poisons list pointer
asoc->base.dead = true
sctp_outq_free(&asoc->outqueue)
`-> __sctp_outq_teardown()
`-> sctp_chunk_free()
`-> consume_skb()
`-> sctp_wfree()
`-> sctp_wake_up_waiters() <-- dereferences poisoned pointers
if asoc->ep->sndbuf_policy=0
Therefore, only walk the list in an 'optimized' way if we find
that the current association is still active. We could also use
list_del_init() in addition when we call sctp_association_free(),
but as Vlad suggests, we want to trap such bugs and thus leave
it poisoned as is.
Why is it safe to resolve the issue by testing for asoc->base.dead?
Parallel calls to sctp_sendmsg() are protected under socket lock,
that is lock_sock()/release_sock(). Only within that path under
lock held, we're setting skb/chunk owner via sctp_set_owner_w().
Eventually, chunks are freed directly by an association still
under that lock. So when traversing association list on destruction
time from sctp_wake_up_waiters() via sctp_wfree(), a different
CPU can't be running sctp_wfree() while another one calls
sctp_association_free() as both happens under the same lock.
Therefore, this can also not race with setting/testing against
asoc->base.dead as we are guaranteed for this to happen in order,
under lock. Further, Vlad says: the times we check asoc->base.dead
is when we've cached an association pointer for later processing.
In between cache and processing, the association may have been
freed and is simply still around due to reference counts. We check
asoc->base.dead under a lock, so it should always be safe to check
and not race against sctp_association_free(). Stress-testing seems
fine now, too.

SCTP charges chunks for wmem accounting via skb->truesize in
sctp_set_owner_w(), and sctp_wfree() respectively as the
reverse operation. If a sender runs out of wmem, it needs to
wait via sctp_wait_for_sndbuf(), and gets woken up by a call
to __sctp_write_space() mostly via sctp_wfree().
__sctp_write_space() is being called per association. Although
we assign sk->sk_write_space() to sctp_write_space(), which
is then being done per socket, it is only used if send space
is increased per socket option (SO_SNDBUF), as SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE
is set and therefore not invoked in sock_wfree().
Commit 4c3a5bdae293 ("sctp: Don't charge for data in sndbuf
again when transmitting packet") fixed an issue where in case
sctp_packet_transmit() manages to queue up more than sndbuf
bytes, sctp_wait_for_sndbuf() will never be woken up again
unless it is interrupted by a signal. However, a still
remaining issue is that if net.sctp.sndbuf_policy=0, that is
accounting per socket, and one-to-many sockets are in use,
the reclaimed write space from sctp_wfree() is 'unfairly'
handed back on the server to the association that is the lucky
one to be woken up again via __sctp_write_space(), while
the remaining associations are never be woken up again
(unless by a signal).
The effect disappears with net.sctp.sndbuf_policy=1, that
is wmem accounting per association, as it guarantees a fair
share of wmem among associations.
Therefore, if we have reclaimed memory in case of per socket
accounting, wake all related associations to a socket in a
fair manner, that is, traverse the socket association list
starting from the current neighbour of the association and
issue a __sctp_write_space() to everyone until we end up
waking ourselves. This guarantees that no association is
preferred over another and even if more associations are
taken into the one-to-many session, all receivers will get
messages from the server and are not stalled forever on
high load. This setting still leaves the advantage of per
socket accounting in touch as an association can still use
up global limits if unused by others.

There are three buffer overflows addressed in this patch.
1) In isdnloop_fake_err() we add an 'E' to a 60 character string and
then copy it into a 60 character buffer. I have made the destination
buffer 64 characters and I'm changed the sprintf() to a snprintf().
2) In isdnloop_parse_cmd(), p points to a 6 characters into a 60
character buffer so we have 54 characters. The ->eazlist[] is 11
characters long. I have modified the code to return if the source
buffer is too long.
3) In isdnloop_command() the cbuf[] array was 60 characters long but the
max length of the string then can be up to 79 characters. I made the
cbuf array 80 characters long and changed the sprintf() to snprintf().
I also removed the temporary "dial" buffer and changed it to use "p"
directly.
Unfortunately, we pass the "cbuf" string from isdnloop_command() to
isdnloop_writecmd() which truncates anything over 60 characters to make
it fit in card->omsg[]. (It can accept values up to 255 characters so
long as there is a '\n' character every 60 characters). For now I have
just fixed the memory corruption bug and left the other problems in this
driver alone.

Loading cursors to the LCD controller's SRAM can be corrupted when the
configured pixel clock is relatively slow. This seems to be caused
when we write back-to-back to the SRAM registers.
There doesn't appear to be any status register we can read to check
when an access has completed.
Inserting a dummy read between the writes appears to fix the problem.

Presently, paging_init() calls init_mem_pgprot() to initialize pgprot
values used by macros such as PAGE_KERNEL, PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC, etc.
The new fixmap and early_ioremap support also needs to use these macros
before paging_init() is called. This patch moves the init_mem_pgprot()
call out of paging_init() and into setup_arch() so that pgprot_default
gets initialized in time for fixmap and early_ioremap.

This patch creates a generic implementation of early_ioremap() support
based on the existing x86 implementation. early_ioremp() is useful for
early boot code which needs to temporarily map I/O or memory regions
before normal mapping functions such as ioremap() are available.
Some architectures have optional MMU. In the no-MMU case, the remap
functions simply return the passed in physical address and the unmap
functions do nothing.

This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap
implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by
other architectures. The early ioremap interfaces are intended for
situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings
before the normal ioremap interfaces are available. Typically, this
means before paging_init() has run.
This patch (of 6):
There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a =
early_memremap(phys_addr, size);
early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the
return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one.
For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch
do below two things:
1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap
2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap
From Boris:
"Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too. I'd guess we can try it.
FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped
as normal memory so we should be safe"

Statistics are not critical to the operation of the allocation but
should also not cause too much overhead.
When __this_cpu_inc is altered to check if preemption is disabled this
triggers. Use raw_cpu_inc to avoid the checks. Using this_cpu_ops may
cause interrupt disable/enable sequences on various arches which may
significantly impact allocator performance.

The RT_CACHE_STAT_INC macro triggers the new preemption checks
for __this_cpu ops.
I do not see any other synchronization that would allow the use of a
__this_cpu operation here however in commit dbd2915ce87e ("[IPV4]:
RT_CACHE_STAT_INC() warning fix") Andrew justifies the use of
raw_smp_processor_id() here because "we do not care" about races. In
the past we agreed that the price of disabling interrupts here to get
consistent counters would be too high. These counters may be inaccurate
due to race conditions.
The use of __this_cpu op improves the situation already from what commit
dbd2915ce87e did since the single instruction emitted on x86 does not
allow the race to occur anymore. However, non x86 platforms could still
experience a race here.

The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization.
The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the additional
preemption checks for __this_cpu ops.
So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.

With the preempt checking logic for __this_cpu_ops we will get false
positives from locations in the code that use numa_node_id.
Before the __this_cpu ops where introduced there were no checks for
preemption present either. smp_raw_processor_id() was used. See
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-numa/msg00641.html
Therefore we need to use raw_cpu_read here to avoid false postives.
Note that this issue has been discussed in prior years. If the process
changes nodes after retrieving the current numa node then that is
acceptable since most uses of numa_node etc are for optimization and not
for correctness.
There were suggestions to implement a raw_numa_node_id in order to do
preempt checks for numa_node_id as well. But I think we better defer
that to another patch since that would mean investigating how
numa_node_id() is used throughout the kernel which would increase the
scope of this patchset significantly. After all preemption was never
checked before when numa_node_id() was used.

The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are
consistently used throughout the kernel. The code generated in many
places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which
uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of
performing address calculations).
The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with
the per cpu macros.
A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only
because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_
prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr()
is used to raw_cpu_ptr().
B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations
would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption
checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that
do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the
__this_cpu operations.
C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable
that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set
replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations.
D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing
sequences of instructions by a single one.
E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than
x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with
per cpu local data.
F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to
further optimize code that relies on synchronization through
per cpu data.
The patch set works in a couple of stages:
I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr().
Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86
code to raw_cpu_xx_#.
II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give
us false positives once they are enabled.
III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow
checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions
are used.
IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var
with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu
code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied.
V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations
in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code.
VI. Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used
functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var). These should only be
applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we
have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of
the uses of these functions remain.
This patch (of 46):
The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu
ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations
without preemption checks.
raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the
operations that do not implement any checks.
Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to
raw_cpu_xxxx.
Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h.
These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue).

Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
manner as for global caches. Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
cache in case its parent is merged with another cache. For instance, if
A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
following sysfs setup:
X
A -> X
B -> X
where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()). Now if memcgs M and
N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:
X
X:M
X:N
A -> X
B -> X
A:M -> X:M
A:N -> X:N
Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
confusing.
It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
corresponding root cache's sysfs directory. This would allow us to keep
sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
above.
This patch does the trick. It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
kmem_cache_destroy(). This is wrong, because the root cache will not
necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In
this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
one:

At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
memcg cache - the kernel will panic.
This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root
cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
a reference to its parent.
