commit 54d27365 upstream. The optimized task selection logic optimistically selects a new task to run without first doing a full put_prev_task(). This is so that we can avoid a put/set on the common ancestors of the old and new task. Similarly, we should only call check_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle eligible groups if they're part of the common ancestry, otherwise it is possible to end up with no eligible task in the simple task selection. Imagine: /root /prev /next /A /B If our optimistic selection ends up throttling /next, we goto simple and our put_prev_task() ends up throttling /prev, after which we're going to bug out in set_next_entity() because there aren't any tasks left. Avoid this scenario by only throttling common ancestors. Reported-by:

commit 773cd04e upstream. Since commit 0723a047 ("btrfs: allow mounting btrfs subvolumes with different ro/rw options"), when mounting a subvolume read/write when another subvolume has previously been mounted read-only, we first do a remount. However, this should be done with the superblock locked, as per sync_filesystem(): /* * We need to be protected against the filesystem going from * r/o to r/w or vice versa. */ WARN_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&sb->s_umount)); This WARN_ON can easily be hit with: mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/vdb mount /dev/vdb /mnt btrfs subvol create /mnt/vol1 btrfs subvol create /mnt/vol2 umount /mnt mount -oro,subvol=/vol1 /dev/vdb /mnt mount -orw,subvol=/vol2 /dev/vdb /mnt2 Fixes: 0723a047 ("btrfs: allow mounting btrfs subvolumes with different ro/rw options") Reviewed-by:

commit 6cbfb1bb upstream. It was possible for mac80211 to be coerced into an unexpected flow causing sdata union to become corrupted. Station pointer was put into sdata->u.vlan.sta memory location while it was really master AP's sdata->u.ap.next_beacon. This led to station entry being later freed as next_beacon before __sta_info_flush() in ieee80211_stop_ap() and a subsequent invalid pointer dereference crash. The problem was that ieee80211_ptr->use_4addr wasn't cleared on interface type changes. This could be reproduced with the following steps: # host A and host B have just booted; no # wpa_s/hostapd running; all vifs are down host A> iw wlan0 set type station host A> iw wlan0 set 4addr on host A> printf 'interface=wlan0\nssid=4addrcrash\nchannel=1\nwds_sta=1' > /tmp/hconf host A> hostapd -B /tmp/conf host B> iw wlan0 set 4addr on host B> ifconfig wlan0 up host B> iw wlan0 connect -w hostAssid host A> pkill hostapd # host A crashed: [ 127.928192] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000006c8 [ 127.929014] IP: [<ffffffff816f4f32>] __sta_info_flush+0xac/0x158 ...

commit ab499db8 upstream. There was a possible race between ieee80211_reconfig() and ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(). This could result in inability to transmit data if driver crashed during roaming or rekeying and subsequent skbs with insufficient tailroom appeared. This race was probably never seen in the wild because a device driver would have to crash AND recover within 0.5s which is very unlikely. I was able to prove this race exists after changing the delay to 10s locally and crashing ath10k via debugfs immediately after GTK rekeying. In case of ath10k the counter went below 0. This was harmless but other drivers which actually require tailroom (e.g. for WEP ICV or MMIC) could end up with the counter at 0 instead of >0 and introduce insufficient skb tailroom failures because mac80211 would not resize skbs appropriately anymore.

It means that when we do: set_bit(OP_TSF_RESET, &priv->op_flags); Then it sets the (1 << 6) bit instead of the 6 bit so we are setting a bit which is past the end of the unsigned long.

commit 430910b1 upstream. When multiplexling a MAD sent from VF, we should convert the port used by the guest to send the packet to the actual physical port which will be used to transmit the packet, before building the relevant address-handle (AH). This is needed under VPI for single ported VFs, since the code that builds the AH (mlx4_ib_query_ah()) makes decisions based on the input port. If we use the port number provided by the guest, it might have different protocol vs. the one this packat has to go from, and hence the result could be wrong. So far, the conversion was done after the AH was built and it worked for single ported Eth VFs which were not enabled under VPI. When adding support for single ported IB VFs and VPI, we hit that.

commit 7c35ef45 upstream. Single port VFs always provide port = 1 (even if the actual physical port used is port 2). As such, we need to convert the port provided by the VF to the physical port before calling into the firmware. It turns out that the Linux mlx4 VF RoCE driver maintains a copy of the GID table and hence this change became critical only for single ported IB VFs, but it could be needed for other RoCE VF drivers too.

commit abab381f upstream. The platform_sysrq_reset_seq code was intended as a way for an embedded platform to provide its own sysrq sequence at compile time. After over two years, nobody has started using it in an upstream kernel, and the platforms that were interested in it have moved on to devicetree, which can be used to configure the sequence without requiring kernel changes. The method is also incompatible with the way that most architectures build support for multiple platforms into a single kernel. Now the code is producing warnings when built with gcc-5.1: drivers/tty/sysrq.c: In function 'sysrq_init': drivers/tty/sysrq.c:959:33: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] key = platform_sysrq_reset_seq[i]; We could fix this, but it seems unlikely that it will ever be used, so let's just remove the code instead. We still have the option to pass the sequence either in DT, using the kernel command line, or using the /sys/module/sysrq/parameters/reset_seq file. Signed-off-by:

commit 8084b86d upstream. When the VLAN_HLEN was added to the calculation for the maximum frame size there seems to have been a number of issues added to the driver. The first issue is that in some cases the maximum frame size for a device never really reached the actual maximum frame size as the VLAN header length was not included the calculation for that value. As a result some parts only supported a maximum frame size of either 1496 in the case of parts that didn't support jumbo frames, and 8996 in the case of the parts that do. The second issue is the fact that there were several checks that weren't updated so as a result setting an MTU of 1500 was treated as enabling jumbo frames as the calculated value was 1522 instead of 1518. I have addressed those by replacing ETH_FRAME_LEN with VLAN_ETH_FRAME_LEN where appropriate. The final issue was the fact that lowering the MTU below 1500 would cause the driver to allocate 2K buffers for the rings. This is an old issue that was fixed several years ago in igb/ixgbe and I am addressing now by just replacing == with a <= so that we always just round up to 1522 for anything that isn't a jumbo frame.

commit 431dae77 upstream. Eric noticed problems with vhost-scsi and virtio-ccw: vhost-scsi complained about overwriting values in the config space, which was triggered by a broken implementation of virtio-ccw's config get/set routines. It was probably sheer luck that we did not hit this before. When writing a value to the config space, the WRITE_CONF ccw will always write from the beginning of the config space up to and including the value to be set. If the config space up to the value has not yet been retrieved from the device, however, we'll end up overwriting values. Keep track of the known config space and update if needed to avoid this. Moreover, READ_CONF will only read the number of bytes it has been instructed to retrieve, so we must not copy more than that to the buffer, or we might overwrite trailing values. Reported-by:

commit c04e1fb4 upstream. ACPICA commit f7b86f35416e3d1f71c3d816ff5075ddd33ed486 The following commit is reported to have broken s2ram on some platforms: Commit: 0249ed24 ACPICA: Add option to favor 32-bit FADT addresses. The platform reports 2 FACS tables (which is not allowed by ACPI specification) and the new 32-bit address favor rule forces OSPMs to use the FACS table reported via FADT's X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field. The root cause of the reported bug might be one of the followings: 1. BIOS may favor the 64-bit firmware waking vector address when the version of the FACS is greater than 0 and Linux currently only supports resuming from the real mode, so the 64-bit firmware waking vector has never been set and might be invalid to BIOS while the commit enables higher version FACS. 2. BIOS may favor the FACS reported via the "FIRMWARE_CTRL" field in the FADT while the commit doesn't set the firmware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL", it only sets the firware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL". This patch excludes the cases that can trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 2. There is no handshaking mechanism can be used by OSPM to tell BIOS which FACS is currently used. Thus the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" may still be used by BIOS and the 0 value of the 32-bit firmware waking vector might trigger such failure. This patch tries to favor 32bit FACS address in another way where both the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" and the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL" are loaded so that further commit can set firmware waking vector in the both tables to ensure we can exclude the cases that trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 2. The exclusion is split into 2 commits as this commit is also useful for dumping more ACPI tables, it won't get reverted when such exclusion is no longer necessary. Lv Zheng.

commit 347d7e45 upstream. The mcp3021 scaling code is dividing the VDD (full-scale) value in millivolts by the A2D resolution to obtain the scaling factor. When VDD is 3300mV (the standard value) and the resolution is 12-bit (4096 divisions), the result is a scale factor of 3300/4096, which is always one. Effectively, the raw A2D reading is always being returned because no scaling is applied. This patch fixes the issue and simplifies the register-to-volts calculation, removing the unneeded "output_scale" struct member. Signed-off-by:

It was added as a warning that the mechanism for generating names of pseudo files had been removed from prepend_path and d_dname should be used instead. Unfortunately the warning reads like a general warning, making it unclear what to do with it. Remove the warning. The transition it was added to warn about is long over, and I added code several years ago which in rare cases causes the warning to fire on legitimate code, and the warning is now firing and scaring people for no good reason.

commit 7236c85e upstream. fs_fully_visible attempts to make fresh mounts of proc and sysfs give the mounter no more access to proc and sysfs than if they could have by creating a bind mount. One aspect of proc and sysfs that makes this particularly tricky is that there are other filesystems that typically mount on top of proc and sysfs. As those filesystems are mounted on empty directories in practice it is safe to ignore them. However testing to ensure filesystems are mounted on empty directories has not been something the in kernel data structures have supported so the current test for an empty directory which checks to see if nlink <= 2 is a bit lacking. proc and sysfs have recently been modified to use the new empty_dir infrastructure to create all of their dedicated mount points. Instead of testing for S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode) && i_nlink <= 2 to see if a directory is empty, test for is_empty_dir_inode(inode). That small change guaranteess mounts found on proc and sysfs really are safe to ignore, because the directories are not only empty but nothing can ever be added to them. This guarantees there is nothing to worry about when mounting proc and sysfs. Signed-off-by:

commit 87d2846f upstream. Add two functions sysfs_create_mount_point and sysfs_remove_mount_point that hang a permanently empty directory off of a kobject or remove a permanently emptpy directory hanging from a kobject. Export these new functions so modular filesystems can use them. Acked-by:

commit fbabfd0f upstream. To ensure it is safe to mount proc and sysfs I need to check if filesystems that are mounted on top of them are mounted on truly empty directories. Given that some directories can gain entries over time, knowing that a directory is empty right now is insufficient. Therefore add supporting infrastructure for permantently empty directories that proc and sysfs can use when they create mount points for filesystems and fs_fully_visible can use to test for permanently empty directories to ensure that nothing will be gained by mounting a fresh copy of proc or sysfs.

commit 155e35d4 upstream. Introduce some function for getting the inode (and also the dentry) in an environment where layered/unioned filesystems are in operation. The problem is that we have places where we need *both* the union dentry and the lower source or workspace inode or dentry available, but we can only have a handle on one of them. Therefore we need to derive the handle to the other from that. The idea is to introduce an extra field in struct dentry that allows the union dentry to refer to and pin the lower dentry.

commit ceeb0e5d upstream. Limit the mounts fs_fully_visible considers to locked mounts. Unlocked can always be unmounted so considering them adds hassle but no security benefit. Signed-off-by:
