commit e1ff3dd1 upstream. Workdir creation fails in latest kernel. Fix by allowing EOPNOTSUPP as a valid return value from vfs_removexattr(XATTR_NAME_POSIX_ACL_*). Upper filesystem may not support ACL and still be perfectly able to support overlayfs. Reported-by:

commit 0956254a upstream. When a copy up of a directory occurs which has the opaque xattr set, the xattr remains in the upper directory. The immediate behavior with overlayfs is that the upper directory is not treated as opaque, however after a remount the opaque flag is used and upper directory is treated as opaque. This causes files created in the lower layer to be hidden when using multiple lower directories. Fix by not copying up the opaque flag. To reproduce: ----8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---- mkdir -p l/d/s u v w mnt mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=l,upperdir=u,workdir=w mnt rm -rf mnt/d/ mkdir -p mnt/d/n umount mnt mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=u:l,upperdir=v,workdir=w mnt touch mnt/d/foo umount mnt mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=u:l,upperdir=v,workdir=w mnt ls mnt/d ----8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---------8<---- output should be: "foo n" Reported-by:

commit 27727df2 upstream. When I added some extra sanity checking in timekeeping_get_ns() under CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING, I missed that the NMI safe __ktime_get_fast_ns() method was using timekeeping_get_ns(). Thus the locking added to the debug checks broke the NMI-safety of __ktime_get_fast_ns(). This patch open-codes the timekeeping_get_ns() logic for __ktime_get_fast_ns(), so can avoid any deadlocks in NMI.

commit a4f8f666 upstream. It was reported that hibernation could fail on the 2nd attempt, where the system hangs at hibernate() -> syscore_resume() -> i8237A_resume() -> claim_dma_lock(), because the lock has already been taken. However there is actually no other process would like to grab this lock on that problematic platform. Further investigation showed that the problem is triggered by setting /sys/power/pm_trace to 1 before the 1st hibernation. Since once pm_trace is enabled, the rtc becomes unmeaningful after suspend, and meanwhile some BIOSes would like to adjust the 'invalid' RTC (e.g, smaller than 1970) to the release date of that motherboard during POST stage, thus after resumed, it may seem that the system had a significant long sleep time which is a completely meaningless value. Then in timekeeping_resume -> tk_debug_account_sleep_time, if the bit31 of the sleep time happened to be set to 1, fls() returns 32 and we add 1 to sleep_time_bin[32], which causes an out of bounds array access and therefor memory being overwritten. As depicted by System.map: 0xffffffff81c9d080 b sleep_time_bin 0xffffffff81c9d100 B dma_spin_lock the dma_spin_lock.val is set to 1, which caused this problem. This patch adds a sanity check in tk_debug_account_sleep_time() to ensure we don't index past the sleep_time_bin array. [jstultz: Problem diagnosed and original patch by Chen Yu, I've solved the issue slightly differently, but borrowed his excelent explanation of the issue here.] Fixes: 5c83545f "power: Add option to log time spent in suspend" Reported-by:

commit f3d7ebde upstream. From inspection, the superblock sb_inprogress check is done in the verifier and triggered only for the primary superblock via a "bp->b_bn == XFS_SB_DADDR" check. Unfortunately, the primary superblock is an uncached buffer, and hence it is configured by xfs_buf_read_uncached() with: bp->b_bn = XFS_BUF_DADDR_NULL; /* always null for uncached buffers */ And so this check never triggers. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

commit 532c34b5 upstream. The sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function uses two copy_from_user calls to retrieve the sclp request from user space. The first copy_from_user fetches the length of the request which is stored in the first two bytes of the request. The second copy_from_user gets the complete sclp request, but this copies the length field a second time. A malicious user may have changed the length in the meantime. Reported-by:

commit 190ce869 upstream. Currently we have 2 segments that are bolted for the kernel linear mapping (ie 0xc000... addresses). This is 0 to 1TB and also the kernel stacks. Anything accessed outside of these regions may need to be faulted in. (In practice machines with TM always have 1T segments) If a machine has < 2TB of memory we never fault on the kernel linear mapping as these two segments cover all physical memory. If a machine has > 2TB of memory, there may be structures outside of these two segments that need to be faulted in. This faulting can occur when running as a guest as the hypervisor may remove any SLB that's not bolted. When we treclaim and trecheckpoint we have a window where we need to run with the userspace GPRs. This means that we no longer have a valid stack pointer in r1. For this window we therefore clear MSR RI to indicate that any exceptions taken at this point won't be able to be handled. This means that we can't take segment misses in this RI=0 window. In this RI=0 region, we currently access the thread_struct for the process being context switched to or from. This thread_struct access may cause a segment fault since it's not guaranteed to be covered by the two bolted segment entries described above. We've seen this with a crash when running as a guest with > 2TB of memory on PowerVM: Unrecoverable exception 4100 at c00000000004f138 Oops: Unrecoverable exception, sig: 6 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries CPU: 1280 PID: 7755 Comm: kworker/1280:1 Tainted: G X 4.4.13-46-default #1 task: c000189001df4210 ti: c000189001d5c000 task.ti: c000189001d5c000 NIP: c00000000004f138 LR: 0000000010003a24 CTR: 0000000010001b20 REGS: c000189001d5f730 TRAP: 4100 Tainted: G X (4.4.13-46-default) MSR: 8000000100001031 <SF,ME,IR,DR,LE> CR: 24000048 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c00000000004ed18 SOFTE: 0 GPR00: ffffffffc58d7b60 c000189001d5f9b0 00000000100d7d00 000000003a738288 GPR04: 0000000000002781 0000000000000006 0000000000000000 c0000d1f4d889620 GPR08: 000000000000c350 00000000000008ab 00000000000008ab 00000000100d7af0 GPR12: 00000000100d7ae8 00003ffe787e67a0 0000000000000000 0000000000000211 GPR16: 0000000010001b20 0000000000000000 0000000000800000 00003ffe787df110 GPR20: 0000000000000001 00000000100d1e10 0000000000000000 00003ffe787df050 GPR24: 0000000000000003 0000000000010000 0000000000000000 00003fffe79e2e30 GPR28: 00003fffe79e2e68 00000000003d0f00 00003ffe787e67a0 00003ffe787de680 NIP [c00000000004f138] restore_gprs+0xd0/0x16c LR [0000000010003a24] 0x10003a24 Call Trace: [c000189001d5f9b0] [c000189001d5f9f0] 0xc000189001d5f9f0 (unreliable) [c000189001d5fb90] [c00000000001583c] tm_recheckpoint+0x6c/0xa0 [c000189001d5fbd0] [c000000000015c40] __switch_to+0x2c0/0x350 [c000189001d5fc30] [c0000000007e647c] __schedule+0x32c/0x9c0 [c000189001d5fcb0] [c0000000007e6b58] schedule+0x48/0xc0 [c000189001d5fce0] [c0000000000deabc] worker_thread+0x22c/0x5b0 [c000189001d5fd80] [c0000000000e7000] kthread+0x110/0x130 [c000189001d5fe30] [c000000000009538] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xa4 Instruction dump: 7cb103a6 7cc0e3a6 7ca222a6 78a58402 38c00800 7cc62838 08860000 7cc000a6 38a00006 78c60022 7cc62838 0b060000 <e8c701a0> 7ccff120 e8270078 e8a70098 ---[ end trace 602126d0a1dedd54 ]--- This fixes this by copying the required data from the thread_struct to the stack before we clear MSR RI.

commit b47820ed upstream. We temporally change checksum fields in buffers of some types of metadata into '0' for verifying the checksum values. By doing this without locking the buffer, some metadata's checksums, which are being committed or written back to the storage, could be damaged. In our test, several metadata blocks were found with damaged metadata checksum value during recovery process. When we only verify the checksum value, we have to avoid modifying checksum fields directly. Signed-off-by:

commit 2e81a4ee upstream. When we need to move xattrs into external xattr block, we call ext4_xattr_block_set() from ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea(). That may end up calling ext4_mark_inode_dirty() again which will recurse back into the inode expansion code leading to deadlocks. Protect from recursion using EXT4_STATE_NO_EXPAND inode flag and move its management into ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() since its manipulation is safe there (due to xattr_sem) from possible races with ext4_xattr_set_handle() which plays with it as well.

commit 418c12d0 upstream. When multiple xattrs need to be moved out of inode, we did not properly recompute total size of xattr headers in the inode and the new header position. Thus when moving the second and further xattr we asked ext4_xattr_shift_entries() to move too much and from the wrong place, resulting in possible xattr value corruption or general memory corruption.

commit d0141191 upstream. The code in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() treated new_extra_isize argument sometimes as the desired target i_extra_isize and sometimes as the amount by which we need to grow current i_extra_isize. These happen to coincide when i_extra_isize is 0 which used to be the common case and so nobody noticed this until recently when we added i_projid to the inode and so i_extra_isize now needs to grow from 28 to 32 bytes. The result of these bugs was that we sometimes unnecessarily decided to move xattrs out of inode even if there was enough space and we often ended up corrupting in-inode xattrs because arguments to ext4_xattr_shift_entries() were just wrong. This could demonstrate itself as BUG_ON in ext4_xattr_shift_entries() triggering. Fix the problem by introducing new isize_diff variable and use it where appropriate. Reported-by:

commit d6e0d306 upstream. The capability check should not be audited since it is only being used to determine the inode permissions. A failed check does not indicate a violation of security policy but, when an LSM is enabled, a denial audit message was being generated. The denial audit message caused confusion for some application authors because root-running Go applications always triggered the denial. To prevent this confusion, the capability check in net_ctl_permissions() is switched to the noaudit variant. BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1465724Signed-off-by:

commit 98f368e9 upstream. When checking the current cred for a capability in a specific user namespace, it isn't always desirable to have the LSMs audit the check. This patch adds a noaudit variant of ns_capable() for when those situations arise. The common logic between ns_capable() and the new ns_capable_noaudit() is moved into a single, shared function to keep duplicated code to a minimum and ease maintainability. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 23c8a812 ] This fixes CVE-2016-0758. In the ASN.1 decoder, when the length field of an ASN.1 value is extracted, it isn't validated against the remaining amount of data before being added to the cursor. With a sufficiently large size indicated, the check: datalen - dp < 2 may then fail due to integer overflow. Fix this by checking the length indicated against the amount of remaining data in both places a definite length is determined. Whilst we're at it, make the following changes: (1) Check the maximum size of extended length does not exceed the capacity of the variable it's being stored in (len) rather than the type that variable is assumed to be (size_t). (2) Compare the EOC tag to the symbolic constant ASN1_EOC rather than the integer 0. (3) To reduce confusion, move the initialisation of len outside of: for (len = 0; n > 0; n--) { since it doesn't have anything to do with the loop counter n. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit e16dad6b ] In existing code, this tree of resources is created in single-threaded code and never modified after it is created, and thus needs no locking. This patch introduces a semaphore for tree access, as other patches in this series introduce run-time modifications of this resource tree which can happen on multiple threads. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit ea765431 ] While profiling the cxlflash_queuecommand() path under a heavy load it was found that number of retries to find cmd_room was fairly high. There are two problems with the current back-off: a) It starts with a udelay of 0 b) It backs-off linearly Tried several approaches (a higher multiple 10*n, 100*n, as well as n^2, 2^n) and found that the exponential back-off(2^n) approach had the least overall cost. Cost as being defined as overall time spent waiting. The fix is to change the linear back-off to an exponential back-off. This solution also takes care of the problem with the initial delay (starts with 1 usec). Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2d7f9e2a ] Filesystem uids which don't map into a user namespace may result in inode->i_uid being INVALID_UID. A symlink and its parent could have different owners in the filesystem can both get mapped to INVALID_UID, which may result in following a symlink when this would not have otherwise been permitted when protected symlinks are enabled.

[ Upstream commit bb6a7773 ] We are seeing this warning: at net/core/skbuff.c:4174 and before commit a44878d1 ("IB/ipoib: Use one linear skb in RX flow") skb truesize was not being set when ipoib was using just one skb. Removing this line avoids the warning when running tcp tests like iperf. Fixes: a44878d1 ("IB/ipoib: Use one linear skb in RX flow") Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 197c949e ] Backport of this upstream commit into stable kernels : 89c22d8c ("net: Fix skb csum races when peeking") exposed a bug in udp stack vs MSG_PEEK support, when user provides a buffer smaller than skb payload. In this case, skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec(skb, sizeof(struct udphdr), msg->msg_iov); returns -EFAULT. This bug does not happen in upstream kernels since Al Viro did a great job to replace this into : skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_msg(skb, sizeof(struct udphdr), msg); This variant is safe vs short buffers. For the time being, instead reverting Herbert Xu patch and add back skb->ip_summed invalid changes, simply store the result of udp_lib_checksum_complete() so that we avoid computing the checksum a second time, and avoid the problematic skb_copy_and_csum_datagram_iovec() call. This patch can be applied on recent kernels as it avoids a double checksumming, then backported to stable kernels as a bug fix. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit d5e26bb1 ] Applications which use virtual LUN's that are backed by a physical LUN over both adapter ports may experience an I/O failure in the event of a link loss (e.g. cable pull). Virtual LUNs may be accessed through one or both ports of the adapter. This access is encoded in the translation entries that comprise the virtual LUN and used by the AFU for load-balancing I/O and handling failover scenarios. In a link loss scenario, even though the AFU is able to maintain connectivity to the LUN, it is up to the application to retry the failed I/O. When applications are unaware of the virtual LUN's underlying topology, they are unable to make a sound decision of when to retry an I/O and therefore are forced to make their reaction to a failed I/O absolute. The result is either a failure to retry I/O or increased latency for scenarios where a retry is pointless. To remedy this scenario, provide feedback back to the application on virtual LUN creation as to which ports the LUN may be accessed. LUN's spanning both ports are candidates for a retry in a presence of an I/O failure. Signed-off-by:
