PATCH 1/31 ASoC: dapm: remove widget from dirty list on free

From: Thomas Hebb <[email protected]>

commit 5c6679b5cb120f07652418524ab186ac47680b49 upstream.

A widget's "dirty" list_head, much like its "list" list_head, eventually chains back to a list_head on the snd_soc_card itself. This means that the list can stick around even after the widget (or all widgets) have been freed. Currently, however, widgets that are in the dirty list when freed remain there, corrupting the entire list and leading to memory errors and undefined behavior when the list is next accessed or modified.

I encountered this issue when a component failed to probe relatively late in snd_soc_bind_card(), causing it to bail out and call soc_cleanup_card_resources(), which eventually called snd_soc_dapm_free() with widgets that were still dirty from when they'd been added.

PATCH 2/31 MIPS: Fix malformed NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO in 32bit coredumps

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Al Viro <[email protected]>

commit 698222457465ce343443be81c5512edda86e5914 upstream.

Patches that introduced NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO notes back in 2012 had taken care of native (fs/binfmt_elf.c) and compat (fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c) coredumps; unfortunately, compat on mips (which does not go through the usual compat_binfmt_elf.c) had not been noticed.

As the result, both N32 and O32 coredumps on 64bit mips kernels have those sections malformed enough to confuse the living hell out of all gdb and readelf versions (up to and including the tip of binutils-gdb.git).

Longer term solution is to make both O32 and N32 compat use the regular compat_binfmt_elf.c, but that's too much for backports. The minimal solution is to do in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elf[on]32.c the same thing those patches have done in fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c

PATCH 3/31 mm/hugetlb: fix potential missing huge page size info

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Miaohe Lin <[email protected]>

commit 0eb98f1588c2cc7a79816d84ab18a55d254f481c upstream.

The huge page size is encoded for VM_FAULT_HWPOISON errors only. So if we return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON, huge page size would just be ignored.

PATCH 4/31 ext4: fix bug for rename with RENAME_WHITEOUT

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: yangerkun <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 6b4b8e6b4ad8553660421d6360678b3811d5deb9 ]

We got a "deleted inode referenced" warning cross our fsstress test. The bug can be reproduced easily with following steps:

cd /dev/shm
mkdir test/
fallocate -l 128M img
mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 img
mount img test/
dd if=/dev/zero of=test/foo bs=1M count=128
mkdir test/dir/ && cd test/dir/
for ((i=0;i<1000;i++)); do touch file$i; done # consume all block cd ~ && renameat2(AT_FDCWD, /dev/shm/test/dir/file1, AT_FDCWD,
/dev/shm/test/dir/dst_file, RENAME_WHITEOUT) # ext4_add_entry in ext4_rename will return ENOSPC!!
cd /dev/shm/ && umount test/ && mount img test/ && ls -li test/dir/file1 We will get the output:
"ls: cannot access 'test/dir/file1': Structure needs cleaning" and the dmesg show:
"EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_lookup:1626: inode #2049: comm ls:
deleted inode referenced: 139"

ext4_rename will create a special inode for whiteout and use this 'ino' to replace the source file's dir entry 'ino'. Once error happens latter(the error above was the ENOSPC return from ext4_add_entry in ext4_rename since all space has been consumed), the cleanup do drop the nlink for whiteout, but forget to restore 'ino' with source file. This will trigger the bug describle as above.

PATCH 5/31 ARC: build: add boot_targets to PHONY

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Masahiro Yamada <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 0cfccb3c04934cdef42ae26042139f16e805b5f7 ]

The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create files there.

If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot image will not be created.

You can confirm it by the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<your-arc-compiler-prefix>
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all   # vmlinux will be built
  $ touch uImage.gz
  $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created

Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

PATCH 6/31 ethernet: ucc_geth: fix definition and size of ucc_geth_tx_global_pram

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Rasmus Villemoes <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 887078de2a23689e29d6fa1b75d7cbc544c280be ]

Table 8-53 in the QUICC Engine Reference manual shows definitions of fields up to a size of 192 bytes, not just 128. But in table 8-111, one does find the text

Base Address of the Global Transmitter Parameter RAM Page. [...] The user needs to allocate 128 bytes for this page. The address must be aligned to the page size.

I've checked both rev. 7 (11/2015) and rev. 9 (05/2018) of the manual; they both have this inconsistency (and the table numbers are the same).

Adding a bit of debug printing, on my board the struct ucc_geth_tx_global_pram is allocated at offset 0x880, while the (opaque) ucc_geth_thread_data_tx gets allocated immediately afterwards, at 0x900. So whatever the engine writes into the thread data overlaps with the tail of the global tx pram (and devmem says that something does get written during a simple ping).

I haven't observed any failure that could be attributed to this, but it seems to be the kind of thing that would be extremely hard to debug. So extend the struct definition so that we do allocate 192 bytes.

PATCH 10/31 ACPI: scan: add stub acpi_create_platform_device() for !CONFIG_ACPI

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Shawn Guo <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit ee61cfd955a64a58ed35cbcfc54068fcbd486945 ]

It adds a stub acpi_create_platform_device() for !CONFIG_ACPI build, so that caller doesn't have to deal with !CONFIG_ACPI build issue.

PATCH 11/31 ARM: picoxcell: fix missing interrupt-parent properties

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit bac717171971176b78c72d15a8b6961764ab197f ]

dtc points out that the interrupts for some devices are not parsable:

PATCH 12/31 Input: uinput - avoid FF flush when destroying device

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Dmitry Torokhov <[email protected]>

commit e8b95728f724797f958912fd9b765a695595d3a6 upstream.

Normally, when input device supporting force feedback effects is being destroyed, we try to "flush" currently playing effects, so that the physical device does not continue vibrating (or executing other effects). Unfortunately this does not work well for uinput as flushing of the effects deadlocks with the destroy action:

- if device is being destroyed because the file descriptor is being closed, then there is noone to even service FF requests;

- if device is being destroyed because userspace sent UI_DEV_DESTROY, while theoretically it could be possible to service FF requests, userspace is unlikely to do so (they'd need to make sure FF handling happens on a separate thread) even if kernel solves the issue with FF ioctls deadlocking with UI_DEV_DESTROY ioctl on udev->mutex.

To avoid lockups like the one below, let's install a custom input device flush handler, and avoid trying to flush force feedback effects when we destroying the device, and instead rely on uinput to shut off the device properly.

PATCH 17/31 mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab() fails

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Jann Horn <[email protected]>

commit 8ff60eb052eeba95cfb3efe16b08c9199f8121cf upstream.

acquire_slab() fails if there is contention on the freelist of the page (probably because some other CPU is concurrently freeing an object from the page). In that case, it might make sense to look for a different page (since there might be more remote frees to the page from other CPUs, and we don't want contention on struct page).

However, the current code accidentally stops looking at the partial list completely in that case. Especially on kernels without CONFIG_NUMA set, this means that get_partial() fails and new_slab_objects() falls back to new_slab(), allocating new pages. This could lead to an unnecessary increase in memory fragmentation.

PATCH 18/31 net: sunrpc: interpret the return value of kstrtou32 correctly

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

commit 86b53fbf08f48d353a86a06aef537e78e82ba721 upstream.

A return value of 0 means success. This is documented in lib/kstrtox.c.

This was found by trying to mount an NFS share from a link-local IPv6 address with the interface specified by its index:

mount("[fe80::1%1]:/srv/nfs", "/mnt", "nfs", 0, "nolock,addr=fe80::1%1")

Before this commit this failed with EINVAL and also caused the following message in dmesg:

[...] NFS: bad IP address specified: addr=fe80::1%1

The syscall using the same address based on the interface name instead of its index succeeds.

Credits for this patch go to my colleague Christian Speich, who traced the origin of this bug to this line of code.

PATCH 20/31 compiler.h: Raise minimum version of GCC to 5.1 for arm64

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>

commit dca5244d2f5b94f1809f0c02a549edf41ccd5493 upstream.

GCC versions >= 4.9 and < 5.1 have been shown to emit memory references beyond the stack pointer, resulting in memory corruption if an interrupt is taken after the stack pointer has been adjusted but before the reference has been executed. This leads to subtle, infrequent data corruption such as the EXT4 problems reported by Russell King at the link below.

Life is too short for buggy compilers, so raise the minimum GCC version required by arm64 to 5.1.

PATCH 21/31 iio: buffer: Fix demux update

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: "Nuno S�" <[email protected]>

commit 19ef7b70ca9487773c29b449adf0c70f540a0aab upstream

When updating the buffer demux, we will skip a scan element from the device in the case in_ind != out_ind and we enter the while loop. in_ind should only be refreshed with find_next_bit() in the end of the loop.

Note, to cause problems we need a situation where we are skippig over an element (channel not enabled) that happens to not have the same size
as the next element. Whilst this is a possible situation we haven't
actually identified any cases in mainline where it happens as most drivers have consistent channel storage sizes with the exception of the timestamp which is the last element and hence never skipped over.

PATCH 22/31 nfsd4: readdirplus shouldnt return parent of export

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: J. Bruce Fields <[email protected]>

commit 51b2ee7d006a736a9126e8111d1f24e4fd0afaa6 upstream.

If you export a subdirectory of a filesystem, a READDIRPLUS on the root of that export will return the filehandle of the parent with the ".." entry.

The filehandle is optional, so let's just not return the filehandle for ".." if we're at the root of an export.

Note that once the client learns one filehandle outside of the export, they can trivially access the rest of the export using further lookups.

However, it is also not very difficult to guess filehandles outside of the export. So exporting a subdirectory of a filesystem should considered equivalent to providing access to the entire filesystem. To avoid confusion, we recommend only exporting entire filesystems.

PATCH 23/31 net: cdc_ncm: correct overhead in delayed_ndp_size

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Jouni K. Seppänen <[email protected]>

commit 7a68d725e4ea384977445e0bcaed3d7de83ab5b3 upstream.

Aligning to tx_ndp_modulus is not sufficient because the next align call can be cdc_ncm_align_tail, which can add up to ctx->tx_modulus + ctx->tx_remainder - 1 bytes. This used to lead to occasional crashes on a Huawei 909s-120 LTE module as follows:

- the condition marked /* if there is a remaining skb [...] */ is true so the swaps happen
- skb_out is set from ctx->tx_curr_skb
- skb_out->len is exactly 0x3f52
- ctx->tx_curr_size is 0x4000 and delayed_ndp_size is 0xac (note that the sum of skb_out->len and delayed_ndp_size is 0x3ffe)
- the for loop over n is executed once
- the cdc_ncm_align_tail call marked /* align beginning of next frame */ increases skb_out->len to 0x3f56 (the sum is now 0x4002)
- the condition marked /* check if we had enough room left [...] */ is false so we break out of the loop
- the condition marked /* If requested, put NDP at end of frame. */ is true so the NDP is written into skb_out
- now skb_out->len is 0x4002, so padding_count is minus two interpreted as an unsigned number, which is used as the length argument to memset, leading to a crash with various symptoms but usually including

The cdc_ncm_align_tail call first aligns on a ctx->tx_modulus boundary (adding at most ctx->tx_modulus-1 bytes), then adds ctx->tx_remainder bytes. Alternatively, the next alignment call can occur in cdc_ncm_ndp16 or cdc_ncm_ndp32, in which case at most ctx->tx_ndp_modulus-1 bytes are added.

A similar problem has occurred before, and the code is nontrivial to reason about, so add a guard before the crashing call. By that time it is too late to prevent any memory corruption (we'll have written past the end of the buffer already) but we can at least try to get a warning written into an on-disk log by avoiding the hard crash caused by padding past the buffer with a huge number of zeros.

PATCH 24/31 netxen_nic: fix MSI/MSI-x interrupts

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Manish Chopra <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit a2bc221b972db91e4be1970e776e98f16aa87904 ]

For all PCI functions on the netxen_nic adapter, interrupt mode (INTx or MSI) configuration is dependent on what has been configured by the PCI function zero in the shared interrupt register, as these adapters do not support mixed mode interrupts among the functions of a given adapter.

Logic for setting MSI/MSI-x interrupt mode in the shared interrupt register based on PCI function id zero check is not appropriate for all family of netxen adapters, as for some of the netxen family adapters PCI function zero is not really meant to be probed/loaded in the host but rather just act as a management function on the device, which caused all the other PCI functions on the adapter to always use legacy interrupt (INTx) mode instead of choosing MSI/MSI-x interrupt mode.

This patch replaces that check with port number so that for all type of adapters driver attempts for MSI/MSI-x interrupt modes.

PATCH 25/31 rndis_host: set proper input size for OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM request

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Andrey Zhizhikin <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit e56b3d94d939f52d46209b9e1b6700c5bfff3123 ]

MSFT ActiveSync implementation requires that the size of the response for incoming query is to be provided in the request input length. Failure to set the input size proper results in failed request transfer, where the ActiveSync counterpart reports the NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_LENGTH (0xC0010014L) error.

Set the input size for OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM query to the expected size of the response in order for the ActiveSync to properly respond to the request.

PATCH 26/31 net: dcb: Validate netlink message in DCB handler

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Petr Machata <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 826f328e2b7e8854dd42ea44e6519cd75018e7b1 ]

DCB uses the same handler function for both RTM_GETDCB and RTM_SETDCB messages. dcb_doit() bounces RTM_SETDCB mesasges if the user does not have the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.

However, the operation to be performed is not decided from the DCB message type, but from the DCB command. Thus DCB_CMD_*_GET commands are used for reading DCB objects, the corresponding SET and DEL commands are used for manipulation.

The assumption is that set-like commands will be sent via an RTM_SETDCB message, and get-like ones via RTM_GETDCB. However, this assumption is not enforced.

It is therefore possible to manipulate DCB objects without CAP_NET_ADMIN capability by sending the corresponding command in an RTM_GETDCB message. That is a bug. Fix it by validating the type of the request message against the type used for the response.

PATCH 27/31 net: dcb: Accept RTM_GETDCB messages carrying set-like DCB commands

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Petr Machata <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit df85bc140a4d6cbaa78d8e9c35154e1a2f0622c7 ]

In commit 826f328e2b7e ("net: dcb: Validate netlink message in DCB handler"), Linux started rejecting RTM_GETDCB netlink messages if they contained a set-like DCB_CMD_ command.

The reason was that privileges were only verified for RTM_SETDCB messages, but the value that determined the action to be taken is the command, not the message type. And validation of message type against the DCB command was the obvious missing piece.

Unfortunately it turns out that mlnx_qos, a somewhat widely deployed tool for configuration of DCB, accesses the DCB set-like APIs through RTM_GETDCB.

Therefore do not bounce the discrepancy between message type and command. Instead, in addition to validating privileges based on the actual message type, validate them also based on the expected message type. This closes the loophole of allowing DCB configuration on non-admin accounts, while maintaining backward compatibility.

PATCH 29/31 rxrpc: Fix handling of an unsupported token type in rxrpc_read()

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: David Howells <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit d52e419ac8b50c8bef41b398ed13528e75d7ad48 ]

Clang static analysis reports the following:

net/rxrpc/key.c:657:11: warning: Assigned value is garbage or undefined

                toksize = toksizes[tok++];
                        ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

rxrpc_read() contains two consecutive loops. The first loop calculates the token sizes and stores the results in toksizes[] and the second one uses the array. When there is an error in identifying the token in the first loop, the token is skipped, no change is made to the toksizes[] array. When the same error happens in the second loop, the token is not skipped. This will cause the toksizes[] array to be out of step and will overrun past the calculated sizes.

Fix this by making both loops log a message and return an error in this case. This should only happen if a new token type is incompletely implemented, so it should normally be impossible to trigger this.

PATCH 30/31 net: avoid 32 x truesize under-estimation for tiny skbs

In reply to Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 3226b158e67cfaa677fd180152bfb28989cb2fac ]

Both virtio net and napi_get_frags() allocate skbs with a very small skb->head

While using page fragments instead of a kmalloc backed skb->head might give a small performance improvement in some cases, there is a huge risk of under estimating memory usage.

For both GOOD_COPY_LEN and GRO_MAX_HEAD, we can fit at least 32 allocations per page (order-3 page in x86), or even 64 on PowerPC

We have been tracking OOM issues on GKE hosts hitting tcp_mem limits but consuming far more memory for TCP buffers than instructed in tcp_mem[2]

Even if we force napi_alloc_skb() to only use order-0 pages, the issue would still be there on arches with PAGE_SIZE >= 32768

This patch makes sure that small skb head are kmalloc backed, so that other objects in the slab page can be reused instead of being held as long as skbs are sitting in socket queues.

Note that we might in the future use the sk_buff napi cache, instead of going through a more expensive __alloc_skb()

Another idea would be to use separate page sizes depending on the allocated length (to never have more than 4 frags per page)

I would like to thank Greg Thelen for his precious help on this matter, analysing crash dumps is always a time consuming task.
