2007-06-07[PATCH] NETFILTER: {ip, nf}_conntrack_sctp: fix remotely triggerable NULL ↵Patrick McHardy
ptr dereference (CVE-2007-2876) When creating a new connection by sending an unknown chunk type, we don't transition to a valid state, causing a NULL pointer dereference in sctp_packet when accessing sctp_timeouts[SCTP_CONNTRACK_NONE]. Fix by don't creating new conntrack entry if initial state is invalid.

2007-05-24[PATCH] GEODE-AES: Allow in-place operations [CVE-2007-2451]Jordan Crouse
Allow in-place crypto operations. Also remove the coherent user flag (we use it automagically now), and by default use the user written key rather then the HW hidden key - this makes crypto just work without any special considerations, and thats OK, since its our only usage model.

2007-05-01cfq-iosched: fix alias + front merge bugJens Axboe
There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL. One example of that is seen here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41 Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen, read that analysis here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57 This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls). The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

2007-05-01hwmon/w83627ehf: Fix the fan5 clock divider writeJean Delvare
Users have been complaining about the w83627ehf driver flooding their logs with debug messages like: w83627ehf 9191-0a10: Increasing fan 4 clock divider from 64 to 128 or: w83627ehf 9191-0290: Increasing fan 4 clock divider from 4 to 8 The reason is that we failed to actually write the LSB of the encoded clock divider value for that fan, causing the next read to report the same old value again and again. Additionally, the fan number was improperly reported, making the bug harder to find. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-05-01reiserfs: fix xattr root locking/refcount bugJeff Mahoney
The listxattr() and getxattr() operations are only protected by a read lock. As a result, if either of these operations run in parallel, a race condition exists where the xattr_root will end up being cached twice, which results in the leaking of a reference and a BUG() on umount. This patch refactors get_xa_root(), __get_xa_root(), and create_xa_root(), into one get_xa_root() function that takes the appropriate locking around the entire critical section.

2007-05-01Taskstats fix the structure members alignment issueBalbir Singh
We broke the the alignment of members of taskstats to the 8 byte boundary with the CSA patches. In the current kernel, the taskstats structure is not suitable for use by 32 bit applications in a 64 bit kernel. On x86_64 Offsets of taskstats' members (64 bit kernel, 64 bit application) @taskstats'offsetof[@taskstats'indices] = ( 0, # version 4, # ac_exitcode 8, # ac_flag 9, # ac_nice 16, # cpu_count 24, # cpu_delay_total 32, # blkio_count 40, # blkio_delay_total 48, # swapin_count 56, # swapin_delay_total 64, # cpu_run_real_total 72, # cpu_run_virtual_total 80, # ac_comm 112, # ac_sched 113, # ac_pad 116, # ac_uid 120, # ac_gid 124, # ac_pid 128, # ac_ppid 132, # ac_btime 136, # ac_etime 144, # ac_utime 152, # ac_stime 160, # ac_minflt 168, # ac_majflt 176, # coremem 184, # virtmem 192, # hiwater_rss 200, # hiwater_vm 208, # read_char 216, # write_char 224, # read_syscalls 232, # write_syscalls 240, # read_bytes 248, # write_bytes 256, # cancelled_write_bytes ); Offsets of taskstats' members (64 bit kernel, 32 bit application) @taskstats'offsetof[@taskstats'indices] = ( 0, # version 4, # ac_exitcode 8, # ac_flag 9, # ac_nice 12, # cpu_count 20, # cpu_delay_total 28, # blkio_count 36, # blkio_delay_total 44, # swapin_count 52, # swapin_delay_total 60, # cpu_run_real_total 68, # cpu_run_virtual_total 76, # ac_comm 108, # ac_sched 109, # ac_pad 112, # ac_uid 116, # ac_gid 120, # ac_pid 124, # ac_ppid 128, # ac_btime 132, # ac_etime 140, # ac_utime 148, # ac_stime 156, # ac_minflt 164, # ac_majflt 172, # coremem 180, # virtmem 188, # hiwater_rss 196, # hiwater_vm 204, # read_char 212, # write_char 220, # read_syscalls 228, # write_syscalls 236, # read_bytes 244, # write_bytes 252, # cancelled_write_bytes ); This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members is to pack the structure. The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats can work with a 64 bit kernel. Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members. The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got Offsets of taskstats' members (64 bit kernel, 64 bit application) @taskstats'offsetof[@taskstats'indices] = ( 0, # version 4, # ac_exitcode 8, # ac_flag 9, # ac_nice 16, # cpu_count 24, # cpu_delay_total 32, # blkio_count 40, # blkio_delay_total 48, # swapin_count 56, # swapin_delay_total 64, # cpu_run_real_total 72, # cpu_run_virtual_total 80, # ac_comm 112, # ac_sched 113, # ac_pad 120, # ac_uid 124, # ac_gid 128, # ac_pid 132, # ac_ppid 136, # ac_btime 144, # ac_etime 152, # ac_utime 160, # ac_stime 168, # ac_minflt 176, # ac_majflt 184, # coremem 192, # virtmem 200, # hiwater_rss 208, # hiwater_vm 216, # read_char 224, # write_char 232, # read_syscalls 240, # write_syscalls 248, # read_bytes 256, # write_bytes 264, # cancelled_write_bytes ); Offsets of taskstats' members (64 bit kernel, 32 bit application) @taskstats'offsetof[@taskstats'indices] = ( 0, # version 4, # ac_exitcode 8, # ac_flag 9, # ac_nice 16, # cpu_count 24, # cpu_delay_total 32, # blkio_count 40, # blkio_delay_total 48, # swapin_count 56, # swapin_delay_total 64, # cpu_run_real_total 72, # cpu_run_virtual_total 80, # ac_comm 112, # ac_sched 113, # ac_pad 120, # ac_uid 124, # ac_gid 128, # ac_pid 132, # ac_ppid 136, # ac_btime 144, # ac_etime 152, # ac_utime 160, # ac_stime 168, # ac_minflt 176, # ac_majflt 184, # coremem 192, # virtmem 200, # hiwater_rss 208, # hiwater_vm 216, # read_char 224, # write_char 232, # read_syscalls 240, # write_syscalls 248, # read_bytes 256, # write_bytes 264, # cancelled_write_bytes ); Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jay Lan <jlan@engr.sgi.com> Cc: Shailabh Nagar <nagar@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

3w-xxxx emulates a REQUEST_SENSE response by simply returning nothing. Unfortunately, it's assuming that the REQUEST_SENSE command is implemented with use_sg == 0, which is no longer the case. The oops occurs because it's clearing the scatterlist in request_buffer instead of the memory region. This is fixed by using tw_transfer_internal() to transfer correctly to the scatterlist.

2007-05-01Fix IRDA oops'erOlaf Kirch
This fixes and OOPS due to incorrect socket orpahning in the IRDA stack. [IrDA]: Correctly handling socket error This patch fixes an oops first reported in mid 2006 - see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/29/358 The cause of this bug report is that when an error is signalled on the socket, irda_recvmsg_stream returns without removing a local wait_queue variable from the socket's sk_sleep queue. This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix, as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg (and other places) to oops. This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable inclusion.

[SPARC64]: Fix SBUS IOMMU allocation code. There are several IOMMU allocator bugs. Instead of trying to fix this overly complicated code, just mirror the PCI IOMMU arena allocator which is very stable and well stress tested. I tried to make the code as identical as possible so we can switch sun4u PCI and SBUS over to a common piece of IOMMU code. All that will be need are two callbacks, one to do a full IOMMU flush and one to do a streaming buffer flush.

2007-05-01holepunch: fix mmap_sem i_mutex deadlockHugh Dickins
sys_madvise has down_write of mmap_sem, then madvise_remove calls vmtruncate_range which takes i_mutex and i_alloc_sem: no, we can easily devise deadlocks from that ordering. madvise_remove drop mmap_sem while calling vmtruncate_range: luckily, since madvise_remove doesn't split or merge vmas, it's easy to handle this case with a NULL prev, without restructuring sys_madvise. (Though sad to retake mmap_sem when it's unlikely to be needed, and certainly down_read is sufficient for MADV_REMOVE, unlike the other madvices.)

2007-05-01holepunch: fix disconnected pages after second truncateHugh Dickins
shmem_truncate_range has its own truncate_inode_pages_range, to free any pages racily instantiated while it was in progress: a SHMEM_PAGEIN flag is set when this might have happened. But holepunching gets no chance to clear that flag at the start of vmtruncate_range, so it's always set (unless a truncate came just before), so holepunch almost always does this second truncate_inode_pages_range. shmem holepunch has unlikely swap<->file races hereabouts whatever we do (without a fuller rework than is fit for this release): I was going to skip the second truncate in the punch_hole case, but Miklos points out that would make holepunch correctness more vulnerable to swapoff. So keep the second truncate, but follow it by an unmap_mapping_range to eliminate the disconnected pages (freed from pagecache while still mapped in userspace) that it might have left behind.

2007-05-01holepunch: fix shmem_truncate_range punch lockingHugh Dickins
Miklos Szeredi observes that during truncation of shmem page directories, info->lock is released to improve latency (after lowering i_size and next_index to exclude races); but this is quite wrong for holepunching, which receives no such protection from i_size or next_index, and is left vulnerable to races with shmem_unuse, shmem_getpage and shmem_writepage. Hold info->lock throughout when holepunching? No, any user could prevent rescheduling for far too long. Instead take info->lock just when needed: in shmem_free_swp when removing the swap entries, and whenever removing a directory page from the level above. But so long as we remove before scanning, we can safely skip taking the lock at the lower levels, except at misaligned start and end of the hole.

2007-05-01holepunch: fix shmem_truncate_range punching too farHugh Dickins
Miklos Szeredi observes BUG_ON(!entry) in shmem_writepage() triggered in rare circumstances, because shmem_truncate_range() erroneously removes partially truncated directory pages at the end of the range: later reclaim on pages pointing to these removed directories triggers the BUG. Indeed, and it can also cause data loss beyond the hole. Fix this as in the patch proposed by Miklos, but distinguish between "limit" (how far we need to search: ignore truncation's next_index optimization in the holepunch case - if there are races it's more consistent to act on the whole range specified) and "upper_limit" (how far we can free directory pages: generally we must be careful to keep partially punched pages, but can relax at end of file - i_size being held stable by i_mutex).

2007-05-01KVM: MMU: Fix host memory corruption on i386 with >= 4GB ramAvi Kivity
PAGE_MASK is an unsigned long, so using it to mask physical addresses on i386 (which are 64-bit wide) leads to truncation. This can result in page->private of unrelated memory pages being modified, with disasterous results. Fix by not using PAGE_MASK for physical addresses; instead calculate the correct value directly from PAGE_SIZE. Also fix a similar BUG_ON().

2007-05-01KVM: MMU: Fix guest writes to nonpae pdeAvi Kivity
KVM shadow page tables are always in pae mode, regardless of the guest setting. This means that a guest pde (mapping 4MB of memory) is mapped to two shadow pdes (mapping 2MB each). When the guest writes to a pte or pde, we intercept the write and emulate it. We also remove any shadowed mappings corresponding to the write. Since the mmu did not account for the doubling in the number of pdes, it removed the wrong entry, resulting in a mismatch between shadow page tables and guest page tables, followed shortly by guest memory corruption. This patch fixes the problem by detecting the special case of writing to a non-pae pde and adjusting the address and number of shadow pdes zapped accordingly.

2007-05-01HID: zeroing of bytes in output fields is bogusJiri Kosina
HID: zeroing of bytes in output fields is bogus This patch removes bogus zeroing of unused bits in output reports, introduced in Simon's patch in commit d4ae650a. According to the specification, any sane device should not care about values of unused bits. What is worse, the zeroing is done in a way which is broken and might clear certain bits in output reports which are actually _used_ - a device that has multiple fields with one value of the size 1 bit each might serve as an example of why this is bogus - the second call of hid_output_report() would clear the first bit of report, which has already been set up previously. This patch will break LEDs on SpaceNavigator, because this device is broken and takes into account the bits which it shouldn't touch. The quirk for this particular device will be provided in a separate patch. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-05-01IB/mthca: Fix data corruption after FMR unmap on SinaiMichael S. Tsirkin
In mthca_arbel_fmr_unmap(), the high bits of the key are masked off. This gets rid of the effect of adjust_key(), which makes sure that bits 3 and 23 of the key are equal when the Sinai throughput optimization is enabled, and so it may happen that an FMR will end up with bits 3 and 23 in the key being different. This causes data corruption, because when enabling the throughput optimization, the driver promises the HCA firmware that bits 3 and 23 of all memory keys will always be equal. Fix by re-applying adjust_key() after masking the key. Thanks to Or Gerlitz for reproducing the problem, and Ariel Shahar for help in debug. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
