commit d3aea84a upstream. ...to make it clear what the intent behind each record's operation was. In many cases you can infer this, based on the context of the syscall and the result. In other cases it's not so obvious. For instance, in the case where you have a file being renamed over another, you'll have two different records with the same filename but different inode info. By logging this information we can clearly tell which one was created and which was deleted. This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708. Commit 79f6530c should also be backported to stable v3.7+.

commit 14e972b4 upstream. Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named "new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"): type=PATH msg=audit(1366128956.279:965): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new" inode=2138308 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023 This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it look more like this: type=PATH msg=audit(1366128765.989:13875): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.DJ1O8V3e4f/" inode=141 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023 While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we have no record of the filename that the user tried to create. This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record will be updated with the correct inode info from the create. This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708. Commit 79f6530c should also be backported to stable v3.7+. Signed-off-by:

commit 4d8fe737 upstream. Using the nlmsg_len member of the netlink header to test if the message is valid is wrong as it includes the size of the netlink header itself. Thereby allowing to send short netlink messages that pass those checks. Use nlmsg_len() instead to test for the right message length. The result of nlmsg_len() is guaranteed to be non-negative as the netlink message already passed the checks of nlmsg_ok(). Also switch to min_t() to please checkpatch.pl.

commit 0868a5e1 upstream. When the audit=1 kernel parameter is absent and auditd is not running, AUDIT_USER_AVC messages are being silently discarded. AUDIT_USER_AVC messages should be sent to userspace using printk(), as mentioned in the commit message of 4a4cd633 ("AUDIT: Optimise the audit-disabled case for discarding user messages"). When audit_enabled is 0, audit_receive_msg() discards all user messages except for AUDIT_USER_AVC messages. However, audit_log_common_recv_msg() refuses to allocate an audit_buffer if audit_enabled is 0. The fix is to special case AUDIT_USER_AVC messages in both functions. It looks like commit 50397bd1 ("[AUDIT] clean up audit_receive_msg()") introduced this bug. Signed-off-by:

commit eb85d94b upstream. Now we treat any reparse point as a symbolic link and map it to a Unix one that is not true in a common case due to many reparse point types supported by SMB servers. Distinguish reparse point types into two groups: 1) that can be accessed directly through a reparse point (junctions, deduplicated files, NFS symlinks); 2) that need to be processed manually (Windows symbolic links, DFS); and map only Windows symbolic links to Unix ones.

commit 1fa8455d upstream. Dirty data accounting wasn't quite right - firstly, we were adding the key we're inserting after it could have merged with another dirty key already in the btree, and secondly we could sometimes pass the wrong offset to bcache_dev_sectors_dirty_add() for dirty data we were overwriting - which is important when tracking dirty data by stripe.

commit 6a0c7cd3 upstream. I have received a report about the BUG_ON() in free_basic_memory_bitmaps() triggering mysteriously during an aborted s2disk hibernation attempt. The only way I can explain that is that /dev/snapshot was first opened for writing (resume mode), then closed and then opened again for reading and closed again without freezing tasks. In that case the first invocation of snapshot_open() would set the free_bitmaps flag in snapshot_state, which is a static variable. That flag wouldn't be cleared later and the second invocation of snapshot_open() would just leave it like that, so the subsequent snapshot_release() would see data->frozen set and free_basic_memory_bitmaps() would be called unnecessarily. To prevent that from happening clear data->free_bitmaps in snapshot_open() when the file is being opened for reading (hibernate mode). In addition to that, replace the BUG_ON() in free_basic_memory_bitmaps() with a WARN_ON() as the kernel can continue just fine if the condition checked by that macro occurs.

commit baab52de upstream. Commit fa180eb4 (PM / Runtime: Idle devices asynchronously after probe|release) modified __device_release_driver() to call pm_runtime_put(dev) instead of pm_runtime_put_sync(dev) before detaching the driver from the device. However, that was a mistake, because pm_runtime_put(dev) causes rpm_idle() to be queued up and the driver may be gone already when that function is executed. That breaks the assumptions the drivers have the right to make about the core's behavior on the basis of the existing documentation and actually causes problems to happen, so revert that part of commit fa180eb4 and restore the previous behavior of __device_release_driver().

commit fd432b9f upstream. When system has a lot of highmem (e.g. 16GiB using a 32 bits kernel), the code to calculate how much memory we need to preallocate in normal zone may cause overflow. As Leon has analysed: It looks that during computing 'alloc' variable there is overflow: alloc = (3943404 - 1970542) - 1978280 = -5418 (signed) And this function goes to err_out. Fix this by avoiding that overflow. References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60817Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 29f4c090 upstream. This patch fixes a bug in delayed Task Aborted Status (TAS) handling, where transport_send_task_abort() was not returning for the case when the se_tfo->write_pending() callback indicated that last fabric specific WRITE PDU had not yet been received. It also adds an explicit cmd->scsi_status = SAM_STAT_TASK_ABORTED assignment within transport_check_aborted_status() to avoid the case where se_tfo->queue_status() is called when the SAM_STAT_TASK_ABORTED assignment + ->queue_status() in transport_send_task_abort() does not occur once SCF_SENT_DELAYED_TAS has been set.

commit 21e96c73 upstream. When performing continuations there are implied sources that need to be added to the source count. Quoting dma_set_maxpq: /* dma_maxpq - reduce maxpq in the face of continued operations * @dma - dma device with PQ capability * @flags - to check if DMA_PREP_CONTINUE and DMA_PREP_PQ_DISABLE_P are set * * When an engine does not support native continuation we need 3 extra * source slots to reuse P and Q with the following coefficients: * 1/ {00} * P : remove P from Q', but use it as a source for P' * 2/ {01} * Q : use Q to continue Q' calculation * 3/ {00} * Q : subtract Q from P' to cancel (2) * * In the case where P is disabled we only need 1 extra source: * 1/ {01} * Q : use Q to continue Q' calculation */ ...fix the selection of the 16 source path to take these implied sources into account. Note this also kills the BUG_ON(src_cnt < 9) check in __ioat3_prep_pq16_lock(). Besides not accounting for implied sources the check is redundant given we already made the path selection.

commit 5d48b9b5 upstream. The array to lookup the sed pool based on the number of sources (pq16_idx_to_sedi) is 16 entries and expects a max source index. However, we pass the total source count which runs off the end of the array when src_cnt == 16. The minimal fix is to just pass src_cnt-1, but given we know the source count is > 8 we can just calculate the sed pool by (src_cnt - 2) >> 3. Cc: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Acked-by:

commit ac7d631f upstream. Commit 48a9db46 (3.11) removed the memset op in the xor selftest for ioatdma. The issue is that with the removal of that op, it never replaced the memset with a CPU memset. The memory being operated on is expected to be zeroes but was not. This is causing the xor selftest to fail. Signed-off-by:

commit f36afb39 upstream. dm-mpath and dm-thin must process messages even if some device is suspended, so we allocate argv buffer with GFP_NOIO. These messages have a small fixed number of arguments. On the other hand, dm-switch needs to process bulk data using messages so excessive use of GFP_NOIO could cause trouble. The patch also lowers the default number of arguments from 64 to 8, so that there is smaller load on GFP_NOIO allocations. Signed-off-by:

commit 66cb1910 upstream. The code that was trying to do this was inadequate. The postsuspend method (in ioctl context), needs to wait for the worker thread to acknowledge the request to quiesce. Otherwise the migration count may drop to zero temporarily before the worker thread realises we're quiescing. In this case the target will be taken down, but the worker thread may have issued a new migration, which will cause an oops when it completes. Signed-off-by:

commit 954a73d5 upstream. Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new 'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device. Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel panic: 1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path management commands. 2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the path activation work. 3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when accessing members of the recently destructed multipath: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa003db1b>] [<ffffffffa003db1b>] activate_path+0x1b/0x30 [dm_multipath] [<ffffffff81090ac0>] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81096c80>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [switch to disabling pg_init in flush_multipath_work & header edits by Mike Snitzer] Signed-off-by:

commit 2afc745f upstream. This patch fixes the problem that get_unmapped_area() can return illegal address and result in failing mmap(2) etc. In case that the address higher than PAGE_SIZE is set to /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, the address lower than mmap_min_addr can be returned by get_unmapped_area(), even if you do not pass any virtual address hint (i.e. the second argument). This is because the current get_unmapped_area() code does not take into account mmap_min_addr. This leads to two actual problems as follows: 1. mmap(2) can fail with EPERM on the process without CAP_SYS_RAWIO, although any illegal parameter is not passed. 2. The bottom-up search path after the top-down search might not work in arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(). Note: The first and third chunk of my patch, which changes "len" check, are for more precise check using mmap_min_addr, and not for solving the above problem.

commit 7ede612f upstream. The regression was introduced in the following commit: 0967e01e "ath5k: make use of the new rate control API" ath5k_tx_frame_completed saves the intended per-rate retry counts before they are cleared by ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status, however at this point the information in info->status.rates is incomplete. This causes significant throughput degradation and excessive packet loss on links where high bit rates don't work properly. Move the copy from bf->rates a few lines up to ensure that the saved retry counts are updated, and that they are really cleared in info->status.rates after the call to ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status.

As a result, the strength was the absurd value of 10 dBm. As a result, scans return incorrect values for the strength, which causes unwanted attempts to roam. Signed-off-by:

commit ea5ec76d upstream. If the permission check fails, we drop a reference to the blkif without having taken it in the first place. The bug was introduced in commit 604c499c (xen/blkback: Check device permissions before allowing OP_DISCARD).

commit 885d71e5 upstream. The imx23 board will check the fingerprint, so it will call the mx23_check_transcription_stamp. This function will use @chip->buffers->databuf as its buffer which is allocated in the nand_scan_tail(). Unfortunately, the mx23_check_transcription_stamp is called before the nand_scan_tail(). So we will meet a NULL pointer bug: -------------------------------------------------------------------- [ 1.150000] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xd7 (Samsung NAND 4GiB 3,3V 8-bit), 4096MiB, page size: 4096, OOB size: 8 [ 1.160000] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000005d0 [ 1.170000] pgd = c0004000 [ 1.170000] [000005d0] *pgd=00000000 [ 1.180000] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM [ 1.180000] Modules linked in: [ 1.180000] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.12.0 #89 [ 1.180000] task: c7440000 ti: c743a000 task.ti: c743a000 [ 1.180000] PC is at memcmp+0x10/0x54 [ 1.180000] LR is at gpmi_nand_probe+0x42c/0x894 [ 1.180000] pc : [<c025fcb0>] lr : [<c02f6a68>] psr: 20000053 [ 1.180000] sp : c743be2c ip : 600000d3 fp : ffffffff [ 1.180000] r10: 000005d0 r9 : c02f5f08 r8 : 00000000 [ 1.180000] r7 : c75858a8 r6 : c75858a8 r5 : c7585b18 r4 : c7585800 [ 1.180000] r3 : 000005d0 r2 : 00000004 r1 : c05c33e4 r0 : 000005d0 [ 1.180000] Flags: nzCv IRQs on FIQs off Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel [ 1.180000] Control: 0005317f Table: 40004000 DAC: 00000017 [ 1.180000] Process swapper (pid: 1, stack limit = 0xc743a1c0) -------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch rearrange the init procedure: Set the NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN to skip the nand scan firstly, and after we set the proper settings, we will call the chip->scan_bbt() manually.

commit 7b3d2fb9 upstream. [1] The gpmi uses the nand_command_lp to issue the commands to NAND chips. The gpmi issues a DMA operation with gpmi_cmd_ctrl when it handles a NAND_CMD_NONE control command. So when we read a page(NAND_CMD_READ0) from the NAND, we may send two DMA operations back-to-back. If we do not serialize the two DMA operations, we will meet a bug when 1.1) we enable CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, CONFIG_DMADEVICES_DEBUG, and CONFIG_DEBUG_SG. 1.2) Use the following commands in an UART console and a SSH console: cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/dev/null;done cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null;done The kernel log shows below: ----------------------------------------------------------------- kernel BUG at lib/scatterlist.c:28!

The root cause of the bug: Assume process P issues DMA X, and sleep on the completion @this->dma_done. X's tasklet callback is dma_irq_callback. It firstly wake up the process sleeping on the completion @this->dma_done, and then trid to unmap the scatterlist S. The waked process P will issue Y in another ARM core. Y initializes S->sg_magic to zero with sg_init_one(), while dma_irq_callback is unmapping S at the same time. See the diagram: ARM core 0 | ARM core 1 ------------------------------------------------------------- (P issues DMA X, then sleep) --> | | (X's tasklet wakes P) --> | | | <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y) | (X's tasklet unmap the | scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> | <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init | scatterlist S) | [2] This patch serialize both the X and Y in the following way: Unmap the DMA scatterlist S firstly, and wake up the process at the end of the DMA callback, in such a way, Y will be executed after X. After this patch: ARM core 0 | ARM core 1 ------------------------------------------------------------- (P issues DMA X, then sleep) --> | | (X's tasklet unmap the | scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> | | (X's tasklet wakes P) --> | | | <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y) | | <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init | scatterlist S) | Signed-off-by:

commit a749d13a upstream. In the atmel driver probe function, the code shows like following: atmel_nand_probe(...) { ... err_nand_ioremap: platform_driver_unregister(&atmel_nand_nfc_driver); return res; } If no nand flash detected, the driver probe function will goto err_nand_ioremap label. Then platform_driver_unregister() will be called. It will get the lock of atmel_nand device since it is parent of nfc_device. The problem is the lock is already hold by atmel_nand_probe itself. So system will be in a dead lock. This patch just simply removed to platform_driver_unregister() call. When atmel_nand driver is quit the platform_driver_unregister() will be called in atmel_nand_remove(). [Brian: the NAND platform probe really has no business registering/unregistering another driver; this fixes the deadlock, but we should follow up the likely racy behavior here with a better architecture] Signed-off-by:

commit a4d62bab upstream. Hardware: CPU: XLP832,the 64-bit OS NOR Flash:S29GL128S 128M Software: Kernel:2.6.32.41 Filesystem:JFFS2 When writing files, errors appear: Write len 182 but return retlen 180 Write of 182 bytes at 0x072c815c failed. returned -5, retlen 180 Write len 186 but return retlen 184 Write of 186 bytes at 0x072caff4 failed. returned -5, retlen 184 These errors exist only in 64-bit systems,not in 32-bit systems. After analysis, we found that the left shift operation is wrong in map_word_load_partial. For instance: unsigned char buf[3] ={0x9e,0x3a,0xea}; map_bankwidth(map) is 4; for (i=0; i < 3; i++) { int bitpos; bitpos = (map_bankwidth(map)-1-i)*8; orig.x[0] &= ~(0xff << bitpos); orig.x[0] |= buf[i] << bitpos; } The value of orig.x[0] is expected to be 0x9e3aeaff, but in this situation(64-bit System) we'll get the wrong value of 0xffffffff9e3aeaff due to the 64-bit sign extension: buf[i] is defined as "unsigned char" and the left-shift operation will convert it to the type of "signed int", so when left-shift buf[i] by 24 bits, the final result will get the wrong value: 0xffffffff9e3aeaff. If the left-shift bits are less than 24, then sign extension will not occur. Whereas the bankwidth of the nor flash we used is 4, therefore this BUG emerges. Signed-off-by:
