      IB/ocrdma: fix out of bounds access to local buffer · 27250cf8
      Michael Mera authored 
      commit 062d0f22 upstream.

In write to debugfs file 'resource_stats' the local buffer 'tmp_str' is
written at index 'count-1' where 'count' is the size of the write, so
potentially 0.

This patch filters odd values for the write size/position to avoid this
type of problem.

      IB/mlx4: Mark user MR as writable if actual virtual memory is writable · e2ba7bf1
      Jack Morgenstein authored 
      commit d8f9cc32 upstream.

To allow rereg_user_mr to modify the MR from read-only to writable without
using get_user_pages again, we needed to define the initial MR as writable.
However, this was originally done unconditionally, without taking into
account the writability of the underlying virtual memory.

As a result, any attempt to register a read-only MR over read-only
virtual memory failed.

To fix this, do not add the writable flag bit when the user virtual memory
is not writable (e.g. const memory).

However, when the underlying memory is NOT writable (and we therefore
do not define the initial MR as writable), the IB core adds a
"force writable" flag to its user-pages request. If this succeeds,
the reg_user_mr caller gets a writable copy of the original pages.

If the user-space caller then does a rereg_user_mr operation to enable
writability, this will succeed. This should not be allowed, since
the original virtual memory was not writable.

Fix this by taking a reference to the super block in proc_sys_prune_dcache.

The superblock reference is the core of the fix however the sysctl_inodes
list is converted to a hlist so that hlist_del_init_rcu may be used.  This
allows proc_sys_prune_dache to remove inodes the sysctl_inodes list, while
not causing problems for proc_sys_evict_inode when if it later choses to
remove the inode from the sysctl_inodes list.  Removing inodes from the
sysctl_inodes list allows proc_sys_prune_dcache to have a progress
guarantee, while still being able to drop all locks.  The fact that
head->unregistering is set in start_unregistering ensures that no more
inodes will be added to the the sysctl_inodes list.

Previously the code did a dance where it delayed calling iput until the
next entry in the list was being considered to ensure the inode remained on
the sysctl_inodes list until the next entry was walked to.  The structure
of the loop in this patch does not need that so is much easier to
understand and maintain.

      proc/sysctl: prune stale dentries during unregistering · b96e215e
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored 
      commit d6cffbbe upstream.

Currently unregistering sysctl table does not prune its dentries.
Stale dentries could slowdown sysctl operations significantly.

For example, command:

 # for i in {1..100000} ; do unshare -n -- sysctl -a &> /dev/null ; done
 creates a millions of stale denties around sysctls of loopback interface:

 # sysctl fs.dentry-state
 fs.dentry-state = 25812579  24724135        45      0       0       0

 All of them have matching names thus lookup have to scan though whole
 hash chain and call d_compare (proc_sys_compare) which checks them
 under system-wide spinlock (sysctl_lock).

 # time sysctl -a > /dev/null
 real    1m12.806s
 user    0m0.016s
 sys     1m12.400s

Currently only memory reclaimer could remove this garbage.
But without significant memory pressure this never happens.

This patch collects sysctl inodes into list on sysctl table header and
prunes all their dentries once that table unregisters.

      fix __legitimize_mnt()/mntput() race · e31578c6
      Al Viro authored 
      commit 119e1ef8 upstream.

__legitimize_mnt() has two problems - one is that in case of success
the check of mount_lock is not ordered wrt preceding increment of
refcount, making it possible to have successful __legitimize_mnt()
on one CPU just before the otherwise final mntpu() on another,
with __legitimize_mnt() not seeing mntput() taking the lock and
mntput() not seeing the increment done by __legitimize_mnt().
Solved by a pair of barriers.

Another is that failure of __legitimize_mnt() on the second
read_seqretry() leaves us with reference that'll need to be
dropped by caller; however, if that races with final mntput()
we can end up with caller dropping rcu_read_lock() and doing
mntput() to release that reference - with the first mntput()
having freed the damn thing just as rcu_read_lock() had been
dropped.  Solution: in "do mntput() yourself" failure case
grab mount_lock, check if MNT_DOOMED has been set by racing
final mntput() that has missed our increment and if it has -
undo the increment and treat that as "failure, caller doesn't
need to drop anything" case.

It's not easy to hit - the final mntput() has to come right
after the first read_seqretry() in __legitimize_mnt() *and*
manage to miss the increment done by __legitimize_mnt() before
the second read_seqretry() in there.  The things that are almost
impossible to hit on bare hardware are not impossible on SMP
KVM, though...

      fix mntput/mntput race · 87a2d84d
      Al Viro authored 
      commit 9ea0a46c upstream.

mntput_no_expire() does the calculation of total refcount under mount_lock;
unfortunately, the decrement (as well as all increments) are done outside
of it, leading to false positives in the "are we dropping the last reference"
test.  Consider the following situation:
	* mnt is a lazy-umounted mount, kept alive by two opened files.  One
of those files gets closed.  Total refcount of mnt is 2.  On CPU 42
mntput(mnt) (called from __fput()) drops one reference, decrementing component
	* After it has looked at component #0, the process on CPU 0 does
mntget(), incrementing component #0, gets preempted and gets to run again -
on CPU 69.  There it does mntput(), which drops the reference (component #69)
and proceeds to spin on mount_lock.
	* On CPU 42 our first mntput() finishes counting.  It observes the
decrement of component #69, but not the increment of component #0.  As the
result, the total it gets is not 1 as it should've been - it's 0.  At which
point we decide that vfsmount needs to be killed and proceed to free it and
shut the filesystem down.  However, there's still another opened file
on that filesystem, with reference to (now freed) vfsmount, etc. and we are
screwed.

It's not a wide race, but it can be reproduced with artificial slowdown of
the mnt_get_count() loop, and it should be easier to hit on SMP KVM setups.

Fix consists of moving the refcount decrement under mount_lock; the tricky
part is that we want (and can) keep the fast case (i.e. mount that still
has non-NULL ->mnt_ns) entirely out of mount_lock.  All places that zero
mnt->mnt_ns are dropping some reference to mnt and they call synchronize_rcu()
before that mntput().  IOW, if mntput() observes (under rcu_read_lock())
a non-NULL ->mnt_ns, it is guaranteed that there is another reference yet to
be dropped.

      make sure that __dentry_kill() always invalidates d_seq, unhashed or not · 59199c04
      Al Viro authored 
      commit 4c0d7cd5 upstream.

RCU pathwalk relies upon the assumption that anything that changes
->d_inode of a dentry will invalidate its ->d_seq.  That's almost
true - the one exception is that the final dput() of already unhashed
dentry does *not* touch ->d_seq at all.  Unhashing does, though,
so for anything we'd found by RCU dcache lookup we are fine.
Unfortunately, we can *start* with an unhashed dentry or jump into
it.

We could try and be careful in the (few) places where that could
happen.  Or we could just make the final dput() invalidate the damn
thing, unhashed or not.  The latter is much simpler and easier to
backport, so let's do it that way.

      root dentries need RCU-delayed freeing · cfac7df7
      Al Viro authored 
      commit 90bad5e0 upstream.

Since mountpoint crossing can happen without leaving lazy mode,
root dentries do need the same protection against having their
memory freed without RCU delay as everything else in the tree.

It's partially hidden by RCU delay between detaching from the
mount tree and dropping the vfsmount reference, but the starting
point of pathwalk can be on an already detached mount, in which
case umount-caused RCU delay has already passed by the time the
lazy pathwalk grabs rcu_read_lock().  If the starting point
happens to be at the root of that vfsmount *and* that vfsmount
covers the entire filesystem, we get trouble.

      init: rename and re-order boot_cpu_state_init() · 6bb53ee1
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit b5b1404d upstream.

This is purely a preparatory patch for upcoming changes during the 4.19
merge window.

We have a function called "boot_cpu_state_init()" that isn't really
about the bootup cpu state: that is done much earlier by the similarly
named "boot_cpu_init()" (note lack of "state" in name).

This function initializes some hotplug CPU state, and needs to run after
the percpu data has been properly initialized.  It even has a comment to
that effect.

Except it _doesn't_ actually run after the percpu data has been properly
initialized.  On x86 it happens to do that, but on at least arm and
arm64, the percpu base pointers are initialized by the arch-specific
'smp_prepare_boot_cpu()' hook, which ran _after_ boot_cpu_state_init().

This had some unexpected results, and in particular we have a patch
pending for the merge window that did the obvious cleanup of using
'this_cpu_write()' in the cpu hotplug init code:

  -       per_cpu_ptr(&cpuhp_state, smp_processor_id())->state = CPUHP_ONLINE;
  +       this_cpu_write(cpuhp_state.state, CPUHP_ONLINE);

which is obviously the right thing to do.  Except because of the
ordering issue, it actually failed miserably and unexpectedly on arm64.

So this just fixes the ordering, and changes the name of the function to
be 'boot_cpu_hotplug_init()' to make it obvious that it's about cpu
hotplug state, because the core CPU state was supposed to have already
been done earlier.

Marked for stable, since the (not yet merged) patch that will show this
problem is marked for stable.

      scsi: sr: Avoid that opening a CD-ROM hangs with runtime power management enabled · bcf447f8

Surround scsi_execute() calls with scsi_autopm_get_device() and
scsi_autopm_put_device(). Note: removing sr_mutex protection from the
scsi_cd_get() and scsi_cd_put() calls is safe because the purpose of
sr_mutex is to serialize cdrom_*() calls.

      ACPI / LPSS: Add missing prv_offset setting for byt/cht PWM devices · 51b3938e
      Hans de Goede authored 
      commit fdcb613d upstream.

The LPSS PWM device on on Bay Trail and Cherry Trail devices has a set
of private registers at offset 0x800, the current lpss_device_desc for
them already sets the LPSS_SAVE_CTX flag to have these saved/restored
over device-suspend, but the current lpss_device_desc was not setting
the prv_offset field, leading to the regular device registers getting
saved/restored instead.

This is causing the PWM controller to no longer work, resulting in a black
screen,  after a suspend/resume on systems where the firmware clears the
APB clock and reset bits at offset 0x804.

This commit fixes this by properly setting prv_offset to 0x800 for
the PWM devices.

      Mark HI and TASKLET softirq synchronous · fbf12e19
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      commit 3c53776e upstream.

Way back in 4.9, we committed 4cd13c21 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do
its job"), and ever since we've had small nagging issues with it.  For
example, we've had:

  1ff68820 ("watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker is not deferred")
  8d5755b3 ("watchdog: softdog: fire watchdog even if softirqs do not get to run")
  217f6974 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in sk_busy_loop()")

all of which worked around some of the effects of that commit.

The DVB people have also complained that the commit causes excessive USB
URB latencies, which seems to be due to the USB code using tasklets to
schedule USB traffic.  This seems to be an issue mainly when already
living on the edge, but waiting for ksoftirqd to handle it really does
seem to cause excessive latencies.

Now Hanna Hawa reports that this issue isn't just limited to USB URB and
DVB, but also causes timeout problems for the Marvell SoC team:

 "I'm facing kernel panic issue while running raid 5 on sata disks
  connected to Macchiatobin (Marvell community board with Armada-8040
  SoC with 4 ARMv8 cores of CA72) Raid 5 built with Marvell DMA engine
  and async_tx mechanism (ASYNC_TX_DMA [=y]); the DMA driver (mv_xor_v2)
  uses a tasklet to clean the done descriptors from the queue"

The latency problem causes a panic:

  mv_xor_v2 f0400000.xor: dma_sync_wait: timeout!
  Kernel panic - not syncing: async_tx_quiesce: DMA error waiting for transaction

We've discussed simply just reverting the original commit entirely, and
also much more involved solutions (with per-softirq threads etc).  This
patch is intentionally stupid and fairly limited, because the issue
still remains, and the other solutions either got sidetracked or had
other issues.

We should probably also consider the timer softirqs to be synchronous
and not be delayed to ksoftirqd (since they were the issue with the
earlier watchdog problems), but that should be done as a separate patch.
This does only the tasklet cases.

      kasan: add no_sanitize attribute for clang builds · 50bed434
      Andrey Konovalov authored 
      commit 12c8f25a upstream.

KASAN uses the __no_sanitize_address macro to disable instrumentation of
particular functions.  Right now it's defined only for GCC build, which
causes false positives when clang is used.

This patch adds a definition for clang.

Note, that clang's revision 329612 or higher is required.

      parisc: Define mb() and add memory barriers to assembler unlock sequences · 2106b21a
      John David Anglin authored 
      commit fedb8da9 upstream.

For years I thought all parisc machines executed loads and stores in
order. However, Jeff Law recently indicated on gcc-patches that this is
not correct. There are various degrees of out-of-order execution all the
way back to the PA7xxx processor series (hit-under-miss). The PA8xxx
series has full out-of-order execution for both integer operations, and
loads and stores.

This is described in the following article:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040214092531/http://www.cpus.hp.com/technical_references/advperf.shtml

For this reason, we need to define mb() and to insert a memory barrier
before the store unlocking spinlocks. This ensures that all memory
accesses are complete prior to unlocking. The ldcw instruction performs
the same function on entry.

      parisc: Enable CONFIG_MLONGCALLS by default · 5f394c9e
      Helge Deller authored 
      commit 66509a27 upstream.

Enable the -mlong-calls compiler option by default, because otherwise in most
cases linking the vmlinux binary fails due to truncations of R_PARISC_PCREL22F
relocations. This fixes building the 64-bit defconfig.

      tpm: fix race condition in tpm_common_write() · 1d4167a8
      Tadeusz Struk authored 
      commit 3ab2011e upstream.

There is a race condition in tpm_common_write function allowing
two threads on the same /dev/tpm<N>, or two different applications
on the same /dev/tpmrm<N> to overwrite each other commands/responses.
Fixed this by taking the priv->buffer_mutex early in the function.

Also converted the priv->data_pending from atomic to a regular size_t
type. There is no need for it to be atomic since it is only touched
under the protection of the priv->buffer_mutex.

      ext4: fix check to prevent initializing reserved inodes · 954e572a
      Theodore Ts'o authored 
      commit 50122847 upstream.

Commit 8844618d: "ext4: only look at the bg_flags field if it is
valid" will complain if block group zero does not have the
EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag set.  Unfortunately, this is not correct,
since a freshly created file system has this flag cleared.  It gets
almost immediately after the file system is mounted read-write --- but
the following somewhat unlikely sequence will end up triggering a
false positive report of a corrupted file system:

   mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdc
   mount -o ro /dev/vdc /vdc
   mount -o remount,rw /dev/vdc

Instead, when initializing the inode table for block group zero, test
to make sure that itable_unused count is not too large, since that is
the case that will result in some or all of the reserved inodes
getting cleared.

This fixes the failures reported by Eric Whiteney when running
generic/230 and generic/231 in the the nojournal test case.
