commit 66081a72517a131430dcf986775f3268aafcb546 upstream.
The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.
Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

The compat ioctl for VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE was missing an error check
while converting ioctl arguments. This could lead to leaking kernel
stack contents into userspace.

commit cd0b16c1c3cda12dbed1f8de8f1a9b0591990724 upstream.
If the filehandle is stale, or open access is denied for some reason,
nlm_fopen() may return one of the NLMv4-specific error codes nlm4_stale_fh
or nlm4_failed. These get passed right through nlm_lookup_file(),
and so when nlmsvc_retrieve_args() calls the latter, it needs to filter
the result through the cast_status() machinery.
Failure to do so, will trigger the BUG_ON() in encode_nlm_stat...

commit 09e05d4805e6c524c1af74e524e5d0528bb3fef3 upstream.
ext3 users of data=journal mode with blocksize < pagesize were occasionally
hitting assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() checking whether the
transaction has at least as many credits reserved as buffers attached. The
core of the problem is that when a file gets truncated, buffers that still need
checkpointing or that are attached to the committing transaction are left with
buffer_mapped set. When this happens to buffers beyond i_size attached to a
page stradding i_size, subsequent write extending the file will see these
buffers and as they are mapped (but underlying blocks were freed) things go
awry from here.
The assertion failure just coincidentally (and in this case luckily as we would
start corrupting filesystem) triggers due to journal_head not being properly
cleaned up as well.
Under some rare circumstances this bug could even hit data=ordered mode users.
There the assertion won't trigger and we would end up corrupting the
filesystem.
We fix the problem by unmapping buffers if possible (in lots of cases we just
need a buffer attached to a transaction as a place holder but it must not be
written out anyway). And in one case, we just have to bite the bullet and wait
for transaction commit to finish.

commit 49999ab27eab6289a8e4f450e148bdab521361b2 upstream.
In autofs4_d_automount(), if a mount fail occurs the AUTOFS_INF_PENDING
mount pending flag is not cleared.
One effect of this is when using the "browse" option, directory entry
attributes show up with all "?"s due to the incorrect callback and
subsequent failure return (when in fact no callback should be made).

commit 35c2a7f4908d404c9124c2efc6ada4640ca4d5d5 upstream.
Fuzzing with trinity oopsed on the 1st instruction of shmem_fh_to_dentry(),
u64 inum = fid->raw[2];
which is unhelpfully reported as at the end of shmem_alloc_inode():
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880061cd3000
IP: [<ffffffff812190d0>] shmem_alloc_inode+0x40/0x40

Right, tmpfs is being stupid to access fid->raw[2] before validating that
fh_len includes it: the buffer kmalloc'ed by do_sys_name_to_handle() may
fall at the end of a page, and the next page not be present.
But some other filesystems (ceph, gfs2, isofs, reiserfs, xfs) are being
careless about fh_len too, in fh_to_dentry() and/or fh_to_parent(), and
could oops in the same way: add the missing fh_len checks to those.

commit b71fc079b5d8f42b2a52743c8d2f1d35d655b1c5 upstream.
Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets
to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such
situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk
and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash.
Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is
updated.

In !CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET case, if elf_note_info_init fails to allocate
memory for info->fields, it frees already allocated stuff and returns
error to its caller, fill_note_info. Which in turn returns error to its
caller, elf_core_dump. Which jumps to cleanup label and calls
free_note_info, which will happily try to free all info->fields again.
BOOM.

commit 8110e16d42d587997bcaee0c864179e6d93603fe upstream.
IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent(). This was found to be caused
by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree
traversal.
There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted:
1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked,
since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move().
2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending
to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it
can happen when already locked.
Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal
when rename_lock is already held. This patch fixes all three callers of
try_to_ascend().
IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch.
[ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the
lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work.

commit c3f52af3e03013db5237e339c817beaae5ec9e3a upstream.
When the NFS_COOKIEVERF helper macro was converted into a static
inline function in commit 99fadcd764 (nfs: convert NFS_*(inode)
helpers to static inline), we broke the initialisation of the
readdir cookies, since that depended on doing a memset with an
argument of 'sizeof(NFS_COOKIEVERF(inode))' which therefore
changed from sizeof(be32 cookieverf[2]) to sizeof(be32 *).
At this point, NFS_COOKIEVERF seems to be more of an obfuscation
than a helper, so the best thing would be to just get rid of it.

commit 8335eafc2859e1a26282bef7c3d19f3d68868b8a upstream.
After calling into the lower filesystem to do a rename, the lower target
inode's attributes were not copied up to the eCryptfs target inode. This
resulted in the eCryptfs target inode staying around, rather than being
evicted, because i_nlink was not updated for the eCryptfs inode. This
also meant that eCryptfs didn't do the final iput() on the lower target
inode so it stayed around, as well. This would result in a failure to
free up space occupied by the target file in the rename() operation.
Both target inodes would eventually be evicted when the eCryptfs
filesystem was unmounted.
This patch calls fsstack_copy_attr_all() after the lower filesystem
does its ->rename() so that important inode attributes, such as i_nlink,
are updated at the eCryptfs layer. ecryptfs_evict_inode() is now called
and eCryptfs can drop its final reference on the lower inode.

commit b161dfa6937ae46d50adce8a7c6b12233e96e7bd upstream.
IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock
deadlock. Commit c83ce989cb5f ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression
in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit.
The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the
dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too,
which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry
tree.
This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is
only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag.
IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

commit 55815f70147dcfa3ead5738fd56d3574e2e3c1c2 upstream.
We already use them for openat() and friends, but fstat() also wants to
be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it more
directly comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris.
Note that you could already do the same thing with "fstatat()" and an
empty path, but just doing "fstat()" directly is simpler and faster, so
there is no reason not to just allow it directly.
See also commit 332a2e1244bd, which did the same thing for fchdir, for
the same reasons.

commit 9c2fc0de1a6e638fe58c354a463f544f42a90a09 upstream.
When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and
the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting
file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use
simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not
written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4 (udf: convert to
new aops).
Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page
properly uptodate.

commit 676ce6d5ca3098339c028d44fe0427d1566a4d2d upstream.
Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow")
is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee
that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to
__find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there.
Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595:
inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console,
which pointed to this commit.
I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs
sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on
ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7
itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an
irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between
18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2).
(I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages
from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until
yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.)
Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus
a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers()
and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device
by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume
that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()),
returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case.
And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird"
comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really
now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

commit 47fbf7976e0b7d9dcdd799e2a1baba19064d9631 upstream.
Ever since commit 0a57cdac3f (NFSv4.1 send layoutreturn to fence
disconnected data server) we've been sending layoutreturn calls
while there is potentially still outstanding I/O to the data
servers. The reason we do this is to avoid races between replayed
writes to the MDS and the original writes to the DS.
When this happens, the BUG_ON() in nfs4_layoutreturn_done can
be triggered because it assumes that we would never call
layoutreturn without knowing that all I/O to the DS is
finished. The fix is to remove the BUG_ON() now that the
assumptions behind the test are obsolete.

commit fb6ccff667712c46b4501b920ea73a326e49626a upstream.
Commit 7572777eef78ebdee1ecb7c258c0ef94d35bad16 attempted to verify that
the total iovec from the client doesn't overflow iov_length() but it
only checked the first element. The iovec could still overflow by
starting with a small element. The obvious fix is to check all the
elements.
The overflow case doesn't look dangerous to the kernel as the copy is
limited by the length after the overflow. This fix restores the
intention of returning an error instead of successfully copying less
than the iovec represented.
I found this by code inspection. I built it but don't have a test case.
I'm cc:ing stable because the initial commit did as well.

where the thaw ioctl deadlocked at thaw_super() when called while chcp was
waiting at nilfs_transaction_begin() called from
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode(). This deadlock is 100% reproducible.
This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in
read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(),
whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode. The locking of
sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade
of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive.
This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot
mounts.

commit 97795d2a5b8d3c8dc4365d4bd3404191840453ba upstream.
If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that
were not appropriately reserved, we risk underflow of
ei->i_reserved_meta_blocks. In turn, this can throw
sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter significantly out of whack and undermine
the nondelalloc fallback logic in ext4_nonda_switch(). Warn if this
occurs and set i_allocated_meta_blocks to avoid this problem.
This condition is reproduced by xfstests 270 against ext2 with
delalloc enabled:
Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [ 171.526344] EXT4-fs (loop1): delayed block allocation failed for inode 14 at logical offset 64486 with max blocks 64 with error -28
Mar 28 08:58:02 localhost kernel: [ 171.526346] EXT4-fs (loop1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost
270 ultimately fails with an inconsistent filesystem and requires an
fsck to repair. The cause of the error is an underflow in
ext4_da_update_reserve_space() due to an unreserved meta block
allocation.

rpciod is trying to allocate memory for a new socket to talk to the
server. The VM ends up calling ->releasepage to get more memory, and it
tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without
a connected socket, so we deadlock.
Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the
socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when
deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS
unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do
allocations sometimes.

commit e9fbcb42201c862fd6ab45c48ead4f47bb2dea9d upstream.
Each ordered operation has a free callback, and this was called with the
worker spinlock held. Josef made the free callback also call iput,
which we can't do with the spinlock.
This drops the spinlock for the free operation and grabs it again before
moving through the rest of the list. We'll circle back around to this
and find a cleaner way that doesn't bounce the lock around so much.

commit a6bc32b899223a877f595ef9ddc1e89ead5072b8 upstream.
Stable note: Not tracked in Buzilla. This was part of a series that
reduced interactivity stalls experienced when THP was enabled.
These stalls were particularly noticable when copying data
to a USB stick but the experiences for users varied a lot.
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.
This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

within ->migratepage
commit b969c4ab9f182a6e1b2a0848be349f99714947b0 upstream.
Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. A fix aimed at preserving page
aging information by reducing LRU list churning had the side-effect
of reducing THP allocation success rates. This was part of a series
to restore the success rates while preserving the reclaim fix.
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;
if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
rc = -EBUSY;
This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

commit c6727932cfdb13501108b16c38463c09d5ec7a74 upstream.
UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around
limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable
to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at
the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is
relatively new (introduced in v3.0).
The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first
mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F
option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and
writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and
does not have anything in the journal.
There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly.
All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one
contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this
LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users
were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom:
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0
The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed
that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known
on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store
in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount.
The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to
'fixup_leb()'.

When we get back a FIND_FIRST/NEXT result, we have some info about the
dentry that we use to instantiate a new inode. We were ignoring and
discarding that info when we had an existing dentry in the cache.
Fix this by updating the inode in place when we find an existing dentry
and the uniqueid is the same.

commit 05d290d66be6ef77a0b962ebecf01911bd984a78 upstream.
If a parent and child process open the two ends of a fifo, and the
child immediately exits, the parent may receive a SIGCHLD before its
open() returns. In that case, we need to make sure that open() will
return successfully after the SIGCHLD handler returns, instead of
throwing EINTR or being restarted. Otherwise, the restarted open()
would incorrectly wait for a second partner on the other end.
The following test demonstrates the EINTR that was wrongly thrown from
the parent’s open(). Change .sa_flags = 0 to .sa_flags = SA_RESTART
to see a deadlock instead, in which the restarted open() waits for a
second reader that will never come. (On my systems, this happens
pretty reliably within about 5 to 500 iterations. Others report that
it manages to loop ~forever sometimes; YMMV.)

int fd;

_exit(0);
}
CHECK(fd = open("fifo", O_WRONLY));

commit 91f68c89d8f35fe98ea04159b9a3b42d0149478f upstream.
Commit 080399aaaf35 ("block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as
mapped") exposed a bug in __getblk_slow that causes mount to hang as it
loops infinitely waiting for a buffer that lies beyond the end of the
disk to become uptodate.
The problem was initially reported by Torsten Hilbrich here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/18/54
and also reported independently here:
http://www.sysresccd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4511
and then Richard W.M. Jones and Marcos Mello noted a few separate
bugzillas also associated with the same issue. This patch has been
confirmed to fix:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835019
The main problem is here, in __getblk_slow:
for (;;) {
struct buffer_head * bh;
int ret;
bh = __find_get_block(bdev, block, size);
if (bh)
return bh;
ret = grow_buffers(bdev, block, size);
if (ret < 0)
return NULL;
if (ret == 0)
free_more_memory();
}
__find_get_block does not find the block, since it will not be marked as
mapped, and so grow_buffers is called to fill in the buffers for the
associated page. I believe the for (;;) loop is there primarily to
retry in the case of memory pressure keeping grow_buffers from
succeeding. However, we also continue to loop for other cases, like the
block lying beond the end of the disk. So, the fix I came up with is to
only loop when grow_buffers fails due to memory allocation issues
(return value of 0).
The attached patch was tested by myself, Torsten, and Rich, and was
found to resolve the problem in call cases.

Because
sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page()
which causes the page to be zeroed.

commit 9fe79d7600497ed8a95c3981cbe5b73ab98222f0 upstream.
If the first attempt at opening the lower file read/write fails,
eCryptfs will retry using a privileged kthread. However, the privileged
retry should not happen if the lower file's inode is read-only because a
read/write open will still be unsuccessful.
The check for determining if the open should be retried was intended to
be based on the access mode of the lower file's open flags being
O_RDONLY, but the check was incorrectly performed. This would cause the
open to be retried by the privileged kthread, resulting in a second
failed open of the lower file. This patch corrects the check to
determine if the open request should be handled by the privileged
kthread.

commit 8dc6780587c99286c0d3de747a2946a76989414a upstream.
File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were
performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the
file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file
descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an
error code can be safely returned in most situations.
In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the
release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that
didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not
be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's
private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev
file is opened and only used when the file is released.

commit 332a2e1244bd08b9e3ecd378028513396a004a24 upstream.
We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to
be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it comparable
to the O_SEARCH of Solaris. In particular, O_PATH allows you to access
(not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only
execute permission.
Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.
