commit 0c36820e upstream. xen-netfront limits transmitted skbs to be at most 44 segments in size. However, GSO permits up to 65536 bytes, which means a maximum of 45 segments of 1448 bytes each. This slight reduction in the size of packets means a slight loss in efficiency. Since c/s 9ecd1a75, xen-netfront sets gso_max_size to XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER, where XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE is 65535 bytes. The calculation used by tcp_tso_autosize (and also tcp_xmit_size_goal since c/s 6c09fa09) in determining when to split an skb into two is sk->sk_gso_max_size - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER. So the maximum permitted size of an skb is calculated to be (XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER) - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER. Intuitively, this looks like the wrong formula -- we don't need two TCP headers. Instead, there is no need to deviate from the default gso_max_size of 65536 as this already accommodates the size of the header. Currently, the largest skb transmitted by netfront is 63712 bytes (44 segments of 1448 bytes each), as observed via tcpdump. This patch makes netfront send skbs of up to 65160 bytes (45 segments of 1448 bytes each). Similarly, the maximum allowable mtu does not need to subtract MAX_TCP_HEADER as it relates to the size of the whole packet, including the header. Fixes: 9ecd1a75 ("xen-netfront: reduce gso_max_size to account for max TCP header") Signed-off-by:

commit 8494057a upstream. Properly verify that the resulting page aligned end address is larger than both the start address and the length of the memory area requested. Both the start and length arguments for ib_umem_get are controlled by the user. A misbehaving user can provide values which will cause an integer overflow when calculating the page aligned end address. This overflow can cause also miscalculation of the number of pages mapped, and additional logic issues. Addresses: CVE-2014-8159 Signed-off-by:

commit 788211d8 upstream. There's an issue with the way the RX A-MPDU reorder timer is deleted that can cause a kernel crash like this: * tid_rx is removed - call_rcu(ieee80211_free_tid_rx) * station is destroyed * reorder timer fires before ieee80211_free_tid_rx() runs, accessing the station, thus potentially crashing due to the use-after-free The station deletion is protected by synchronize_net(), but that isn't enough -- ieee80211_free_tid_rx() need not have run when that returns (it deletes the timer.) We could use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_net(), but that's much more expensive. Instead, to fix this, add a field tracking that the session is being deleted. In this case, the only re-arming of the timer happens with the reorder spinlock held, so make that code not rearm it if the session is being deleted and also delete the timer after setting that field. This ensures the timer cannot fire after ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() returns, which fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:

commit 80313b30 upstream. The ASRock Q1900DC-ITX mainboard (Baytrail-D) hangs randomly in both BIOS and UEFI mode while rebooting unless reboot=pci is used. Add a quirk to reboot via the pci method. The problem is very intermittent and hard to debug, it might succeed rebooting just fine 40 times in a row - but fails half a dozen times the next day. It seems to be slightly less common in BIOS CSM mode than native UEFI (with the CSM disabled), but it does happen in either mode. Since I've started testing this patch in late january, rebooting has been 100% reliable. Most of the time it already hangs during POST, but occasionally it might even make it through the bootloader and the kernel might even start booting, but then hangs before the mode switch. The same symptoms occur with grub-efi, gummiboot and grub-pc, just as well as (at least) kernel 3.16-3.19 and 4.0-rc6 (I haven't tried older kernels than 3.16). Upgrading to the most current mainboard firmware of the ASRock Q1900DC-ITX, version 1.20, does not improve the situation. ( Searching the web seems to suggest that other Bay Trail-D mainboards might be affected as well. ) -- Signed-off-by:

commit e6d36a65 upstream. This commit removes the reboot quirk originally added by commit e19e074b ("x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards"). Testing with a VersaLogic Ocelot (VL-EPMs-21a rev 1.00 w/ BIOS 6.5.102) revealed the following regarding the reboot hang problem: - v2.6.37 reboot=bios was needed. - v2.6.38-rc1: behavior changed, reboot=acpi is needed, reboot=kbd and reboot=bios results in system hang. - v2.6.38: VersaLogic patch (e19e074b "x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards") was applied prior to v2.6.38-rc7. This patch sets a quirk for VersaLogic Menlow boards that forces the use of reboot=bios, which doesn't work anymore. - v3.2: It seems that commit 660e34ce ("x86: Reorder reboot method preferences") changed the default reboot method to acpi prior to v3.0-rc1, which means the default behavior is appropriate for the Ocelot. No VersaLogic quirk is required. The Ocelot board used for testing can successfully reboot w/out having to pass any reboot= arguments for all 3 current versions of the BIOS. Signed-off-by:

commit 98cf21c6 upstream. Fix B-tree corruption when a new record is inserted at position 0 in the node in hfs_brec_insert(). In this case a hfs_brec_update_parent() is called to update the parent index node (if exists) and it is passed hfs_find_data with a search_key containing a newly inserted key instead of the key to be updated. This results in an inconsistent index node. The bug reproduces on my machine after an extents overflow record for the catalog file (CNID=4) is inserted into the extents overflow B-tree. Because of a low (reserved) value of CNID=4, it has to become the first record in the first leaf node. The resulting first leaf node is correct: ---------------------------------------------------- | key0.CNID=4 | key1.CNID=123 | key2.CNID=456, ... | ---------------------------------------------------- But the parent index key0 still contains the previous key CNID=123: ----------------------- | key0.CNID=123 | ... | ----------------------- A change in hfs_brec_insert() makes hfs_brec_update_parent() work correctly by preventing it from getting fd->record=-1 value from __hfs_brec_find(). Along the way, I removed duplicate code with unification of the if condition. The resulting code is equivalent to the original code because node is never 0. Also hfs_brec_update_parent() will now return an error after getting a negative fd->record value. However, the return value of hfs_brec_update_parent() is not checked anywhere in the file and I'm leaving it unchanged by this patch. brec.c lacks error checking after some other calls too, but this issue is of less importance than the one being fixed by this patch.

commit 3fe89b3e upstream. I have constantly stumbled upon "kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:399!" after upgrading to 3.19 and had no luck with 4.0-rc1 neither. So, after looking into new logic introduced by commit 7a3ef208 ("mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy"), I found chances are that unlink_anon_vmas() is called without incrementing dst->anon_vma->degree in anon_vma_clone() due to allocation failure. If dst->anon_vma is not NULL in error path, its degree will be incorrectly decremented in unlink_anon_vmas() and eventually underflow when exiting as a result of another call to unlink_anon_vmas(). That's how "kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:399!" is triggered for me. This patch fixes the underflow by dropping dst->anon_vma when allocation fails. It's safe to do so regardless of original value of dst->anon_vma because dst->anon_vma doesn't have valid meaning if anon_vma_clone() fails. Besides, callers don't care dst->anon_vma in such case neither. Also suggested by Michal Hocko, we can clean up vma_adjust() a bit as anon_vma_clone() now does the work.

commit 227a4fd8 upstream. When a device with an isochronous endpoint is plugged into the Intel xHCI host controller, and the driver submits multiple frames per URB, the xHCI driver will set the Block Event Interrupt (BEI) flag on all but the last TD for the URB. This causes the host controller to place an event on the event ring, but not send an interrupt. When the last TD for the URB completes, BEI is cleared, and we get an interrupt for the whole URB. However, under Intel xHCI host controllers, if the event ring is full of events from transfers with BEI set, an "Event Ring is Full" event will be posted to the last entry of the event ring, but no interrupt is generated. Host will cease all transfer and command executions and wait until software completes handling the pending events in the event ring. That means xHC stops, but event of "event ring is full" is not notified. As the result, the xHC looks like dead to user. This patch is to apply XHCI_AVOID_BEI quirk to Intel xHC devices. And it should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contains the commit 69e848c2 ("Intel xhci: Support EHCI/xHCI port switching."). Signed-off-by:

commit 9425183d upstream. Linux xHCI driver doesn't report and handle port cofig error change. If Port Configure Error for root hub port occurs, CEC bit in PORTSC would be set by xHC and remains 1. This happends when the root port fails to configure its link partner, e.g. the port fails to exchange port capabilities information using Port Capability LMPs. Then the Port Status Change Events will be blocked until all status change bits(CEC is one of the change bits) are cleared('0') (refer to xHCI spec 4.19.2). Otherwise, the port status change event for this root port will not be generated anymore, then root port would look like dead for user and can't be recovered until a Host Controller Reset(HCRST). This patch is to check CEC bit in PORTSC in xhci_get_port_status() and set a Config Error in the return status if CEC is set. This will cause a ClearPortFeature request, where CEC bit is cleared in xhci_clear_port_change_bit().

commit c72efb65 upstream. From 1ebf33901ecc75d9496862dceb1ef0377980587c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 00:08:19 -0400 2f800fbd ("writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty") introduced account_page_redirty() which reverts stat updates for a redirtied page, making BDI_DIRTIED no longer monotonically increasing. bdi_update_write_bandwidth() uses the delta in BDI_DIRTIED as the basis for bandwidth calculation. While unlikely, since the above patch, the newer value may be lower than the recorded past value and underflow the bandwidth calculation leading to a wild result. Fix it by subtracing min of the old and new values when calculating delta. AFAIK, there hasn't been any report of it happening but the resulting erratic behavior would be non-critical and temporary, so it's possible that the issue is happening without being reported. The risk of the fix is very low, so tagged for -stable. Signed-off-by:

commit 746db944 upstream. When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to a non-RT scheduling class. I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels. Signed-off-by:

This happens because processing the perf irq_work triggers another perf event (tracepoint stuff) which in turn generates an irq_work ad infinitum. Avoid this by raising the recursion counter in the irq_work -- which effectively disables all software events (including tracepoints) from actually triggering again. Reported-by:

On second pass, inv_file is not overwritten on openFileList traversal, and is subsequently dereferenced. Signed-off-by:

commit 91edd096 upstream. Commit db31c55a (net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an error) introduced the clamping of msg_namelen when the unsigned value was larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage). This caused a msg_namelen of -1 to be valid. The native code was subsequently fixed by commit dbb490b9 (net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen). In addition, the native code sets msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name is NULL. This was done in commit (6a2a2b3a net:socket: set msg_namelen to 0 if msg_name is passed as NULL in msghdr struct from userland) and subsequently updated by 08adb7da (fold verify_iovec() into copy_msghdr_from_user()). This patch brings the get_compat_msghdr() in line with copy_msghdr_from_user(). Fixes: db31c55a (net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an error) Cc: David S.

commit 87f966d9 upstream. On a MIPS Malta board, tons of fifo underflow errors have been observed when using u-boot as bootloader instead of YAMON. The reason for that is that YAMON used to set the pcnet device to SRAM mode but u-boot does not. As a result, the default Tx threshold (64 bytes) is now too small to keep the fifo relatively used and it can result to Tx fifo underflow errors. As a result of which, it's best to setup the SRAM on supported controllers so we can always use the NOUFLO bit.

commit c1b03ab5 upstream. When an error occurred during event registration memory was freed twice resulting in kernel memory corruption and a crash in unrelated code. The problem was caused by iio_device_unregister_eventset() iio_device_unregister_sysfs() being called twice, once on the error path and then again via iio_dev_release(). Fix this by making these two functions idempotent so they may be called multiple times. The problem was observed before applying 78b33216 iio:core: Handle error when mask type is not separate Signed-off-by:

commit 7d70e154 upstream. global_update_bandwidth() uses static variable update_time as the timestamp for the last update but forgets to initialize it to INITIALIZE_JIFFIES. This means that global_dirty_limit will be 5 mins into the future on 32bit and some large amount jiffies into the past on 64bit. This isn't critical as the only effect is that global_dirty_limit won't be updated for the first 5 mins after booting on 32bit machines, especially given the auxiliary nature of global_dirty_limit's role - protecting against global dirty threshold's sudden dips; however, it does lead to unintended suboptimal behavior. Fix it. Fixes: c42843f2 ("writeback: introduce smoothed global dirty limit") Signed-off-by:

commit 496fcc29 upstream. As HT/VHT depend heavily on QoS/WMM, it's not a good idea to let userspace add clients that have HT/VHT but not QoS/WMM. Since it does so in certain cases we've observed (client is using HT IEs but not QoS/WMM) just ignore the HT/VHT info at this point and don't pass it down to the drivers which might unconditionally use it.

commit ccfe8c3f upstream. The kernel crypto API logic requires the caller to provide the length of (ciphertext || authentication tag) as cryptlen for the AEAD decryption operation. Thus, the cipher implementation must calculate the size of the plaintext output itself and cannot simply use cryptlen. The RFC4106 GCM decryption operation tries to overwrite cryptlen memory in req->dst. As the destination buffer for decryption only needs to hold the plaintext memory but cryptlen references the input buffer holding (ciphertext || authentication tag), the assumption of the destination buffer length in RFC4106 GCM operation leads to a too large size. This patch simply uses the already calculated plaintext size. In addition, this patch fixes the offset calculation of the AAD buffer pointer: as mentioned before, cryptlen already includes the size of the tag. Thus, the tag does not need to be added. With the addition, the AAD will be written beyond the already allocated buffer. Note, this fixes a kernel crash that can be triggered from user space via AF_ALG(aead) -- simply use the libkcapi test application from [1] and update it to use rfc4106-gcm-aes. Using [1], the changes were tested using CAVS vectors to demonstrate that the crypto operation still delivers the right results.
