arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c: release rapidio port I/O region resource if port failed to initialize The "struct rio_mport" contains a member of master port I/O memory resource structure "struct resource iores". This resource will be read from device tree and be used for rapidio R/W transaction memory space. Rapidio requests the port I/O memory resource under the root resource "iomem_resource". struct rio_mport *port; port = kzalloc(sizeof(struct rio_mport), GFP_KERNEL); request_resource(&iomem_resource, &port->iores); When port failed to initialize, allocated "rio_mport" structure memory will be freed, and the port I/O memory resource structure pointer "&port->iores" will be invalid. If other requests resource under "iomem_resource", "&port->iores" node may be operated in the child resources list and this will cause the system to crash. So the requested port I/O memory resource should be released before freeing allocated "rio_mport" structure. Signed-off-by:

Expand root=PARTUUID=UUID syntax to support selecting a root partition by integer offset from a known, unique partition. This approach provides similar properties to specifying a device and partition number, but using the UUID as the unique path prior to evaluating the offset. For example, root=PARTUUID=99DE9194-FC15-4223-9192-FC243948F88B/PARTNROFF=1 selects the partition with UUID 99DE.. then select the next partition. This change is motivated by a particular usecase in Chromium OS where the bootloader can easily determine what partition it is on (by UUID) but doesn't perform general partition table walking. That said, support for this model provides a direct mechanism for the user to modify the root partition to boot without specifically needing to extract each UUID or update the bootloader explicitly when the root partition UUID is changed (if it is recreated to be larger, for instance). Pinning to a /boot-style partition UUID allows the arbitrary root partition reconfiguration/modifications with slightly less ambiguity than just [dev][partition] and less stringency than the specific root partition UUID.

Manfred Spraul authored
sys_semtimedop() may return -EIDRM although the semaphore operation completed successfully: thread 1: thread 2: semtimedop(), sleeps semop(): * acquires sem_lock() semtimedop() woken up due to timeout sem_lock() loops * notices that thread 2 could be completed. * performs the operations that thread 2 is sleeping on. * marks the semaphore operation as IN_WAKEUP * drops sem_lock(), does wakeup, sets return code to 0 * thread delayed due to interrupt, whatever * returns to user space * thread still delayed semctl(IPC_RMID) * acquires sem_lock() * ipc_rmid(), ipcp->deleted=1 * drops sem_lock() * thread finally continues - but seem_lock() now fails due to ipcp->deleted == 1 * returns -EIDRM instead of 0 The fix is trivial: Always use the return code in queue.status. In real world, the race probably doesn't matter: If the semaphore array is destroyed, the app is probably not interested if the last operation succeeded or was already cancelled. Signed-off-by:

fd* files are restricted to the task's owner, and other users may not get direct access to them. But one may open any of these files and run any setuid program, keeping opened file descriptors. As there are permission checks on open(), but not on readdir() and read(), operations on the kept file descriptors will not be checked. It makes it possible to violate procfs permission model. Reading fdinfo/* may disclosure current fds' position and flags, reading directory contents of fdinfo/ and fd/ may disclosure the number of opened files by the target task. This information is not sensible per se, but it can reveal some private information (like length of a password stored in a file) under certain conditions. Used existing (un)lock_trace functions to check for ptrace_may_access(), but instead of using EPERM return code from it use EACCES to be consistent with existing proc_pid_follow_link()/proc_pid_readlink() return code. If they differ, attacker can guess what fds exist by analyzing stat() return code. Patched handlers: stat() for fd/*, stat() and read() for fdindo/*, readdir() and lookup() for fd/ and fdinfo/.

{get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG. This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires get_mems_allowed() itself. It is not atypical to see writes to cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example. In low memory conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant times to change cpuset.mems in the first place! The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and then clearing all the old nodes. This prevents the possibility that a reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a new nodemask. If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes. Changing a task's nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and determines whether a node remains set or not.

There is a potential race between a thread charging a page and another thread putting it back to the LRU list: charge: putback: SetPageCgroupUsed SetPageLRU PageLRU && add to memcg LRU PageCgroupUsed && add to memcg LRU The order of setting one flag and checking the other is crucial, otherwise the charge may observe !PageLRU while the putback observes !PageCgroupUsed and the page is not linked to the memcg LRU at all. Global memory pressure may fix this by trying to isolate and putback the page for reclaim, where that putback would link it to the memcg LRU again. Without that, the memory cgroup is undeletable due to a charge whose physical page can not be found and moved out. Signed-off-by:

Reclaim decides to skip scanning an active list when the corresponding inactive list is above a certain size in comparison to leave the assumed working set alone while there are still enough reclaim candidates around. The memcg implementation of comparing those lists instead reports whether the whole memcg is low on the requested type of inactive pages, considering all nodes and zones. This can lead to an oversized active list not being scanned because of the state of the other lists in the memcg, as well as an active list being scanned while its corresponding inactive list has enough pages. Not only is this wrong, it's also a scalability hazard, because the global memory state over all nodes and zones has to be gathered for each memcg and zone scanned. Make these calculations purely based on the size of the two LRU lists that are actually affected by the outcome of the decision. Signed-off-by:

When the cgroup base was allocated with kmalloc, it was necessary to annotate the variable with kmemleak_not_leak(). But because it has recently been changed to be allocated with alloc_page() (which skips kmemleak checks) causes a warning on boot up. I was triggering this output: allocated 8388608 bytes of page_cgroup please try 'cgroup_disable=memory' option if you don't want memory cgroups kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xf5840000 as Grey Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0-test #12 Call Trace: [<c17e34e6>] ? printk+0x1d/0x1f^M [<c10e2941>] paint_ptr+0x4f/0x78 [<c178ab57>] kmemleak_not_leak+0x58/0x7d [<c108ae9f>] ? __rcu_read_unlock+0x9/0x7d [<c1cdb462>] kmemleak_init+0x19d/0x1e9 [<c1cbf771>] start_kernel+0x346/0x3ec [<c1cbf1b4>] ? loglevel+0x18/0x18 [<c1cbf0aa>] i386_start_kernel+0xaa/0xb0 After a bit of debugging I tracked the object 0xf840000 (and others) down to the cgroup code. The change from allocating base with kmalloc to alloc_page() has the base not calling kmemleak_alloc() which adds the pointer to the object_tree_root, but kmemleak_not_leak() adds it to the crt_early_log[] table. On kmemleak_init(), the entry is found in the early_log[] but not the object_tree_root, and this error message is displayed. If alloc_page() fails then it defaults back to vmalloc() which still uses the kmemleak_alloc() which makes us still need the kmemleak_not_leak() call. The solution is to call the kmemleak_alloc() directly if the alloc_page() succeeds. Reviewed-by:

If a task has exited to the point it has called cgroup_exit() already, then we can't migrate it to another cgroup anymore. This can happen when we are attaching a task to a new cgroup between the call to ->can_attach_task() on subsystems and the migration that is eventually tried in cgroup_task_migrate(). In this case cgroup_task_migrate() returns -ESRCH and we don't want to attach the task to the subsystems because the attachment to the new cgroup itself failed. Fix this by only calling ->attach_task() on the subsystems if the cgroup migration succeeded. Reported-by:

Clement Lecigne reports a filesystem which causes a kernel oops in hfs_find_init() trying to dereference sb->ext_tree which is NULL. This proves to be because the filesystem has a corrupted MDB extent record, where the extents file does not fit into the first three extents in the file record (the first blocks). In hfs_get_block() when looking up the blocks for the extent file (HFS_EXT_CNID), it fails the first blocks special case, and falls through to the extent code (which ultimately calls hfs_find_init()) which is in the process of being initialised. Hfs avoids this scenario by always having the extents b-tree fitting into the first blocks (the extents B-tree can't have overflow extents). The fix is to check at mount time that the B-tree fits into first blocks, i.e. fail if HFS_I(inode)->alloc_blocks >= HFS_I(inode)->first_blocks Note, the existing commit 47f365eb ("hfs: fix oops on mount with corrupted btree extent records") becomes subsumed into this as a special case, but only for the extents B-tree (HFS_EXT_CNID), it is perfectly acceptable for the catalog B-Tree file to grow beyond three extents, with the remaining extent descriptors in the extents overfow.
