[ Upstream commit 712f4aad ] It is possible for a process to allocate and accumulate far more FDs than the process' limit by sending them over a unix socket then closing them to keep the process' fd count low. This change addresses this problem by keeping track of the number of FDs in flight per user and preventing non-privileged processes from having more FDs in flight than their configured FD limit.

commit bf5ce5bf upstream. Commit 655fe4ef ("usbcore: add sysfs support to xHCI usb3 hardware LPM") introduced usb3_hardware_lpm sysfs node. This doesn't show the correct status of USB3 U1 and U2 LPM status. This patch fixes this by replacing usb3_hardware_lpm with two nodes, usb3_hardware_lpm_u1 (for U1) and usb3_hardware_lpm_u2 (for U2), and recording the U1/U2 LPM status in right places. This patch should be back-ported to kernels as old as 4.3, that contains Commit 655fe4ef ("usbcore: add sysfs support to xHCI usb3 hardware LPM"). Signed-off-by:

commit 17bc5586 upstream. Free skb for received frames with a wrong checksum. This can happen pretty rapidly, exhausting all memory. This fixes a memleak (detected with kmemleak).

commit 24338722 upstream. We don't want to use a bypassed write in wm5110_clear_pga_volume, we might disable the DRE whilst the CODEC is powered down. A normal regmap_write will always go to the hardware (when not on cache_only) even if the written value matches the cache. As using a normal write will still achieve the desired behaviour of bring the cache and hardware in sync, this patch updates the function to use a normal write, which avoids issues when the CODEC is powered down.

commit 230323da upstream. Currently ALSA timer device doesn't take the disconnection into account very well; it merely unlinks the timer device at disconnection callback but does nothing else. Because of this, when an application accessing the timer device is disconnected, it may release the resource before actually closed. In most cases, it results in a warning message indicating a leftover timer instance like: ALSA: timer xxxx is busy? But basically this is an open race. This patch tries to address it. The strategy is like other ALSA devices: namely, - Manage card's refcount at each open/close - Wake up the pending tasks at disconnection - Check the shutdown flag appropriately at each possible call Note that this patch has one ugly hack to handle the wakeup of pending tasks. It'd be cleaner to introduce a new disconnect op to snd_timer_instance ops. But since it would lead to internal ABI breakage and it eventually increase my own work when backporting to stable kernels, I took a different path to implement locally in timer.c. A cleanup patch will follow at next for 4.5 kernel. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109431Signed-off-by:

commit 991f86d7 upstream. As HD-audio driver does deferred probe internally via workqueue, the driver might go into the mixed state doing both probe and remove when the module gets unloaded during the probe work. This eventually triggers an Oops, unsurprisingly. For avoiding this race, we just need to flush the pending probe work explicitly before actually starting the resource release.

commit bca8e988 upstream. When the generic codec driver is specified via model option or such, the hda driver doesn't try to load the generic driver module but still loads the codec-specific driver, and this ends up with the binding failure. This patch fixes it by moving the generic module request in the common helper code. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111021Signed-off-by:

commit c0bcdbdf upstream. When a TLV ioctl with numid zero is handled, the driver may spew a kernel warning with a stack trace at each call. The check was intended obviously only for a kernel driver, but not for a user interaction. Let's fix it. This was spotted by syzkaller fuzzer. Reported-by:

commit 2ba1fe7a upstream. hrtimer_cancel() waits for the completion from the callback, thus it must not be called inside the callback itself. This was already a problem in the past with ALSA hrtimer driver, and the early commit [fcfdebe7: ALSA: hrtimer - Fix lock-up] tried to address it. However, the previous fix is still insufficient: it may still cause a lockup when the ALSA timer instance reprograms itself in its callback. Then it invokes the start function even in snd_timer_interrupt() that is called in hrtimer callback itself, results in a CPU stall. This is no hypothetical problem but actually triggered by syzkaller fuzzer. This patch tries to fix the issue again. Now we call hrtimer_try_to_cancel() at both start and stop functions so that it won't fall into a deadlock, yet giving some chance to cancel the queue if the functions have been called outside the callback. The proper hrtimer_cancel() is called in anyway at closing, so this should be enough. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 43c54b8c upstream. This reverts one hunk of commit ef44a1ec ("ALSA: sound/core: use memdup_user()"), which replaced a number of kmalloc followed by memcpy with memdup calls. In this case, we are copying from a struct snd_pcm_hw_params32 to a struct snd_pcm_hw_params, but the latter is 4 bytes longer than the 32-bit version, so we need to separate kmalloc and copy calls. This actually leads to an out-of-bounds memory access later on in sound/soc/soc-pcm.c:soc_pcm_hw_params() (detected using KASan).

commit ee8413b0 upstream. ALSA timer instance object has a couple of linked lists and they are unlinked unconditionally at snd_timer_stop(). Meanwhile snd_timer_interrupt() unlinks it, but it calls list_del() which leaves the element list itself unchanged. This ends up with unlinking twice, and it was caught by syzkaller fuzzer. The fix is to use list_del_init() variant properly there, too. Reported-by:

commit af368027 upstream. ALSA timer ioctls have an open race and this may lead to a use-after-free of timer instance object. A simplistic fix is to make each ioctl exclusive. We have already tread_sem for controlling the tread, and extend this as a global mutex to be applied to each ioctl. The downside is, of course, the worse concurrency. But these ioctls aren't to be parallel accessible, in anyway, so it should be fine to serialize there. Reported-by:

commit b5a663aa upstream. A slave timer instance might be still accessible in a racy way while operating the master instance as it lacks of locking. Since the master operation is mostly protected with timer->lock, we should cope with it while changing the slave instance, too. Also, some linked lists (active_list and ack_list) of slave instances aren't unlinked immediately at stopping or closing, and this may lead to unexpected accesses. This patch tries to address these issues. It adds spin lock of timer->lock (either from master or slave, which is equivalent) in a few places. For avoiding a deadlock, we ensure that the global slave_active_lock is always locked at first before each timer lock. Also, ack and active_list of slave instances are properly unlinked at snd_timer_stop() and snd_timer_close(). Last but not least, remove the superfluous call of _snd_timer_stop() at removing slave links. This is a noop, and calling it may confuse readers wrt locking. Further cleanup will follow in a later patch. Actually we've got reports of use-after-free by syzkaller fuzzer, and this hopefully fixes these issues. Reported-by:

commit 5c06d68b upstream. ALSA PCM may still have a leftover instance after disconnection and it delays its release.

commit 71b3c126 upstream. When switch_mm() activates a new PGD, it also sets a bit that tells other CPUs that the PGD is in use so that TLB flush IPIs will be sent. In order for that to work correctly, the bit needs to be visible prior to loading the PGD and therefore starting to fill the local TLB.
