This patch sets the correct reverse sequence order to the instructions set to run, when any failure occurs during the initialization steps. It also adds the missing unregistration call of the can device if the failure appears after having been registered. Signed-off-by:

For buffer write, page lock will be got in write_begin and released in write_end, in ocfs2_write_end_nolock(), before it unlock the page in ocfs2_free_write_ctxt(), it calls ocfs2_run_deallocs(), this will ask for the read lock of journal->j_trans_barrier. Holding page lock and ask for journal->j_trans_barrier breaks the locking order. This will cause a deadlock with journal commit threads, ocfs2cmt will get write lock of journal->j_trans_barrier first, then it wakes up kjournald2 to do the commit work, at last it waits until done. To commit journal, kjournald2 needs flushing data first, it needs get the cache page lock. Since some ocfs2 cluster locks are holding by write process, this deadlock may hung the whole cluster. unlock pages before ocfs2_run_deallocs() can fix the locking order, also put unlock before ocfs2_commit_trans() to make page lock is unlocked before j_trans_barrier to preserve unlocking order.

If kmsg->msg_namelen > sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) then in the original code that would lead to memory corruption in the kernel if you had audit configured. If you didn't have audit configured it was harmless. There are some programs such as beta versions of Ruby which use too large of a buffer and returning an error code breaks them. We should clamp the ->msg_namelen value instead. Fixes: 1661bf36 ("net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr()") Reported-by:

USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD followed by attempted unmount. The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be sent to a dead queue. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly even per boot). This would be things like MAC addresses or serial numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world). [ Modified by tytso to mix in a timestamp, since there may be some variability caused by the time needed to detect/configure the hardware in question. ] Signed-off-by:

efi_setup_pcdp_console() is called during boot to parse the HCDP/PCDP EFI system table and setup an early console for printk output. The routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup access to the HCDP/PCDP table information. The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads to a panic on x86_64 systems: panic+0x01ca do_exit+0x043c oops_end+0x00a7 no_context+0x0119 __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138 bad_area_nosemaphore+0x000e do_page_fault+0x0321 page_fault+0x0020 reserve_memtype+0x02a1 __ioremap_caller+0x0123 ioremap_nocache+0x0012 efi_setup_pcdp_console+0x002b setup_arch+0x03a9 start_kernel+0x00d4 x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console() with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during early boot.

Some BIOS implementations leave the Intel GPU interrupts enabled, even though no one is handling them (f.e. i915 driver is never loaded). Additionally the interrupt destination is not set up properly and the interrupt ends up -somewhere-. These spurious interrupts are "sticky" and the kernel disables the (shared) interrupt line after 100.000+ generated interrupts. Fix it by disabling the still enabled interrupts. This resolves crashes often seen on monitor unplug. Tested on the following boards: - Intel DH61CR: Affected - Intel DH67BL: Affected - Intel S1200KP server board: Affected - Asus P8H61-M LE: Affected, but system does not crash. Probably the IRQ ends up somewhere unnoticed. According to reports on the net, the Intel DH61WW board is also affected. Many thanks to Jesse Barnes from Intel for helping with the register configuration and to Intel in general for providing public hardware documentation. Signed-off-by:

ecryptfs_write() handles the truncation of eCryptfs inodes. It grabs a page, zeroes out the appropriate portions, and then encrypts the page before writing it to the lower filesystem. It was unkillable and due to the lack of sparse file support could result in tying up a large portion of system resources, while encrypting pages of zeros, with no way for the truncate operation to be stopped from userspace. This patch adds the ability for ecryptfs_write() to detect a pending fatal signal and return as gracefully as possible. The intent is to leave the lower file in a useable state, while still allowing a user to break out of the encryption loop. If a pending fatal signal is detected, the eCryptfs inode size is updated to reflect the modified inode size and then -EINTR is returned. Signed-off-by:

setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called, in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups. The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually be used until a gid mapping is established. Therefore add a helper function to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call that function in the setgroups permission check. This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups without privilege using user namespaces. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by:

Forced unmount affects not just the mount namespace but the underlying superblock as well. Restrict forced unmount to the global root user for now. Otherwise it becomes possible a user in a less privileged mount namespace to force the shutdown of a superblock of a filesystem in a more privileged mount namespace, allowing a DOS attack on root.

Commit 3812c8c8 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache readahead. But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate them all. First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of the fault handling as well. This simplifies the code quite a bit for added bonus. Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault finishes for subsequent allocation attempts. If an allocation is attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer. Reported-by:

Since f660daac (oom: thaw threads if oom killed thread is frozen before deferring) OOM killer relies on being able to thaw a frozen task to handle OOM situation but a3201227 (freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE) has reorganized the code and stopped clearing freeze flag in __thaw_task. This means that the target task only wakes up and goes into the fridge again because the freezing condition hasn't changed for it. This reintroduces the bug fixed by f660daac. Fix the issue by checking for TIF_MEMDIE thread flag in freezing_slow_path and exclude the task from freezing completely. If a task was already frozen it would get woken by __thaw_task from OOM killer and get out of freezer after rechecking freezing(). Changes since v1 - put TIF_MEMDIE check into freezing_slowpath rather than in __refrigerator as per Oleg - return __thaw_task into oom_scan_process_thread because oom_kill_process will not wake task in the fridge because it is sleeping uninterruptible [mhocko@suse.cz: rewrote the changelog] Fixes: a3201227 (freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE) Cc: 3.3+ <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.3+ Signed-off-by:

As any gid mapping will allow and must allow for backwards compatibility dropping groups don't allow any gid mappings to be established without CAP_SETGID in the parent user namespace. For a small class of applications this change breaks userspace and removes useful functionality. This small class of applications includes tools/testing/selftests/mount/unprivilged-remount-test.c Most of the removed functionality will be added back with the addition of a one way knob to disable setgroups. Once setgroups is disabled setting the gid_map becomes as safe as setting the uid_map. For more common applications that set the uid_map and the gid_map with privilege this change will have no affect. This is part of a fix for CVE-2014-8989. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by:

If two threads call bitmap_unplug at the same time, then one might schedule all the writes, and the other might decide that it doesn't need to wait. But really it does. It rarely hurts to wait when it isn't absolutely necessary, and the current code doesn't really focus on 'absolutely necessary' anyway. So just wait always. This can potentially lead to data corruption if a crash happens at an awkward time and data was written before the bitmap was updated. It is very unlikely, but this should go to -stable just to be safe. Appropriate for any -stable. Signed-off-by:

Note that this fix can only reduce the occurrence rate of this issue, but this issue may still occur when such a platform doesn't clear SCI_EVT before or immediately after completing the previous QR_EC transaction. This patch cannot fix the CLEAR_ON_RESUME quirk which also relies on the assumption that the platforms are able to respond even when SCI_EVT isn't set. But this patch is still useful as it can help to reduce the number of scheduled QR_EC work items. Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82611Reported-and-tested-by:
