commit 676a0675 upstream. Running the command: inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount event wait will work. The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc ("inotify: Fix mask checks"). In that commit, it states: The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask() sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway. But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this: mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg); - if (unlikely(!mask)) + if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS))) return -EINVAL; The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the check should be: if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT)))) But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get enabled there. Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

commit 15bc8d84 upstream. On store status we need to copy the current state of registers into a save area. Currently we might save stale versions: The sie state descriptor doesnt have fields for guest ACRS,FPRS, those registers are simply stored in the host registers. The host program must copy these away if needed. We do that in vcpu_put/load. If we now do a store status in KVM code between vcpu_put/load, the saved values are not up-to-date. Lets collect the ACRS/FPRS before saving them. This also fixes some strange problems with hotplug and virtio-ccw, since the low level machine check handler (on hotplug a machine check will happen) will revalidate all registers with the content of the save area.

commit 55c171a6 upstream. Running under a kvm host does not necessarily imply the presence of a page mapped above the main memory with the virtio information; however, the code includes a hard coded access to that page. Instead, check for the presence of the page and exit gracefully before we hit an addressing exception if it does not exist. Reviewed-by:

commit 751efd86 upstream. There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and __mmu_notifier_release(). Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result of a filp_close() ->flush() callout (task A), and the other calling mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B).

Additionally, the list traversal in __mmu_notifier_release() is not protected by the by the mmu_notifier_mm->hlist_lock which can result in callouts to the ->release() notifier from both mmu_notifier_unregister() and __mmu_notifier_release(). -stable suggestions: The stable trees prior to 3.7.y need commits 21a92735 and 70400303 cherry-picked in that order prior to cherry-picking this commit.

commit 4fa3e78b upstream. A bus_type has a list of devices (klist_devices), but the list and the subsys_private structure that contains it are not initialized until the bus_type is registered with bus_register(). The panic/reboot path has fixups that look up devices in pci_bus_type. If we panic before registering pci_bus_type, the bus_type exists but the list does not, so mach_reboot_fixups() trips over a null pointer and panics again: mach_reboot_fixups pci_get_device .. bus_find_device(&pci_bus_type, ...) bus->p is NULL Joonsoo reported a problem when panicking before PCI was initialized. I think this patch should be sufficient to replace the patch he posted here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/28/75 ("[PATCH] x86, reboot: skip reboot_fixups in early boot phase") Reported-by:

commit d953e0e8 upstream. Remove the cdev from the system (with cdev_del) *before* deallocating it (in pps_device_destruct, called via kobject_put from device_destroy). Also prevent deallocating a device with open file handles. A better long-term fix is probably to remove the cdev from the pps_device entirely, and instead have all devices reference one global cdev. Then the deallocation ordering becomes simpler. But that's more complex and invasive change, so we leave that for later. Signed-off-by:

commit 513b032c upstream. The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer. Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low (n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup, so the timing isn't affected.) It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not something that affects users. Signed-off-by:

commit 76eaca03 upstream. There is a loophole between Xen's current implementation of pv-spinlocks and the scheduler. This was triggerable through a testcase until v3.6 changed the TLB flushing code. The problem potentially is still there just not observable in the same way. What could happen was (is): 1. CPU n tries to schedule task x away and goes into a slow wait for the runq lock of CPU n-# (must be one with a lower number). 2. CPU n-#, while processing softirqs, tries to balance domains and goes into a slow wait for its own runq lock (for updating some records). Since this is a spin_lock_irqsave in softirq context, interrupts will be re-enabled for the duration of the poll_irq hypercall used by Xen. 3. Before the runq lock of CPU n-# is unlocked, CPU n-1 receives an interrupt (e.g. endio) and when processing the interrupt, tries to wake up task x. But that is in schedule and still on_cpu, so try_to_wake_up goes into a tight loop. 4. The runq lock of CPU n-# gets unlocked, but the message only gets sent to the first waiter, which is CPU n-# and that is busily stuck. 5. CPU n-# never returns from the nested interruption to take and release the lock because the scheduler uses a busy wait. And CPU n never finishes the task migration because the unlock notification only went to CPU n-#. To avoid this and since the unlocking code has no real sense of which waiter is best suited to grab the lock, just send the IPI to all of them. This causes the waiters to return from the hyper- call (those not interrupted at least) and do active spinlocking. BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011792Acked-by:

commit a883b70d upstream. Commit 81732c3b ("tty vt: Fix line garbage in virtual console on command line edition") broke insert_char() in multiple ways. Then commit b1a925f4 ("tty vt: Fix a regression in command line edition") partially fixed it. However, the buffer being moved is still too large and overflowing beyond the end of the current line, corrupting existing characters on the next line. Example test case: echo -e "abc\nde\x1b[A\x1b[4h \x1b[4l\x1b[B" Expected result: ab c de Current result: ab c e Needless to say that this is very annoying when inserting words in the middle of paragraphs with certain text editors.

commit bc6b8923 upstream. rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb, using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for allocating is: struct { u8 data[254]; struct usb_ctrlrequest dr; }; Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory corruptions and freezes. Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately. [v2]: - Use WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON Signed-off-by:

commit ccae0e50 upstream. Bastian Bittorf reported that some of the silent freezes on a Linksys WRT54G were due to overflow of the RX DMA ring buffer, which was created with 64 slots. That finding reminded me that I was seeing similar crashed on a netbook, which also has a relatively slow processor. After increasing the number of slots to 128, runs on the netbook that previously failed now worked; however, I found that 109 slots had been used in one test. For that reason, the number of slots is being increased to 256. Signed-off-by:

commit 677fe555 upstream. commit 9ec1882d (tty: serial: imx: console write routing is unsafe on SMP) introduced a recursive locking bug in imx_console_write(). The callchain is: imx_rxint() spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags); ... uart_handle_sysrq_char(); sysrq_function(); printk(); imx_console_write(); spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags); <--- DEAD The bad news is that the kernel debugging facilities can dectect the problem, but the printks never surface on the serial console for obvious reasons. There is a similar issue with oops_in_progress. If the kernel crashes we really don't want to be stuck on the lock and unable to tell what happened. In general most UP originated drivers miss these checks and nobody ever notices because CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING seems to be still ignored by a large number of developers. The solution is to avoid locking in the sysrq case and trylock in the oops_in_progress case. This scheme is used in other drivers as well and it would be nice if we could move this to a common place, so the usual copy/paste/modify bugs can be avoided. Now there is another issue with this scheme: CPU0 CPU1 printk() rxint() sysrq_detection() -> sets port->sysrq return from interrupt console_write() if (port->sysrq) avoid locking port->sysrq is reset with the next receive character. So as long as the port->sysrq is not reset and this can take an endless amount of time if after the break no futher receive character follows, all console writes happen unlocked. While the current writer is protected against other console writers by the console sem, it's unprotected against open/close or other operations which fiddle with the port. That's what the above mentioned commit tried to solve. That's an issue in all drivers which use that scheme and unfortunately there is no easy workaround. The only solution is to have a separate indicator port->sysrq_cpu. uart_handle_sysrq_char() then sets it to smp_processor_id() before calling into handle_sysrq() and resets it to -1 after that. Then change the locking check to: if (port->sysrq_cpu == smp_processor_id()) locked = 0; else if (oops_in_progress) locked = spin_trylock_irqsave(port->lock, flags); else spin_lock_irqsave(port->lock, flags); That would force all other cpus into the spin_lock path. Problem solved, but that's way beyond the scope of this fix and really wants to be implemented in a common function which calls the uart specific write function to avoid another gazillion of hard to debug copy/paste/modify bugs.

commit b2ca6990 upstream. Make sure serial-driver dtr_rts is called with disc_mutex held after checking the disconnected flag. Due to a bug in the tty layer, dtr_rts may get called after a device has been disconnected and the tty-device unregistered. Some drivers have had individual checks for disconnect to make sure the disconnected interface was not accessed, but this should really be handled in usb-serial core (at least until the long-standing tty-bug has been fixed). Note that the problem has been made more acute with commit 0998d063 ("device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound") as the port data is now also NULL when dtr_rts is called resulting in further oopses.

commit 4d9b1090 upstream. This change fixes a deadlock when the multiplexer is closed while there are still client side ports open. When the multiplexer is closed and there are active tty's it tries to close them with tty_vhangup. This has a problem though, because tty_vhangup needs the tty_lock. This patch changes it to unlock the tty_lock before attempting the hangup and relocks afterwards. The additional call to tty_port_tty_set is needed because otherwise the port stays active because of the reference counter. This change also exposed another problem that other code paths don't expect that the multiplexer could have been closed. This patch also adds checks for these cases in the gsmtty_ class of function that could be called. The documentation explicitly states that "first close all virtual ports before closing the physical port" but we've found this to not always reality in our field situations. The GPRS / UTMS modem sometimes crashes and needs a power cycle in that case which means cleanly shutting down everything is not always possible. This change makes it much more robust for our situation where at least the system is recoverable with this patch and doesn't hang in a deadlock situation inside the kernel. The patch is against the long term support kernel (3.4.27) and should apply cleanly to more recent branches. Tested with a Telit GE864-QUADV2 and Telit HE910 modem. Signed-off-by:

If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call will unlock the wrong lock.

commit f03574f2 upstream. This code was an optimization for 32-bit NUMA systems. It has probably been the cause of a number of subtle bugs over the years, although the conditions to excite them would have been hard to trigger. Essentially, we remap part of the kernel linear mapping area, and then sometimes part of that area gets freed back in to the bootmem allocator. If those pages get used by kernel data structures (say mem_map[] or a dentry), there's no big deal. But, if anyone ever tried to use the linear mapping for these pages _and_ cared about their physical address, bad things happen. For instance, say you passed __GFP_ZERO to the page allocator and then happened to get handed one of these pages, it zero the remapped page, but it would make a pte to the _old_ page. There are probably a hundred other ways that it could screw with things. We don't need to hang on to performance optimizations for these old boxes any more. All my 32-bit NUMA systems are long dead and buried, and I probably had access to more than most people. This code is causing real things to break today: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/9/376 I looked in to actually fixing this, but it requires surgery to way too much brittle code, as well as stuff like per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(). [ hpa: Cc: this for -stable, since it is a memory corruption issue. However, an alternative is to simply mark NUMA as depends BROKEN rather than EXPERIMENTAL in the X86_32 subclause... ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130131005616.1C79F411@kernel.stglabs.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

Commit c060f943 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation, resulting in some very subtle memory corruption. This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line options. In the meantime, commit c060f943 has been marked for stable, so this fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the commit to use the right alignment. Bisected-and-tested-by:
