commit c4a9fafc upstream. No driver initializes chan->max_antenna_gain to something sensible, and the only place where it is being used right now is inside ath9k. This leads to ath9k potentially using less tx power than it can use, which can decrease performance/range in some rare cases. Rather than going through every single driver, this patch initializes chan->orig_mag in wiphy_register(), ignoring whatever value the driver left in there. If a driver for some reason wishes to limit it independent from regulatory rulesets, it can do so internally. Signed-off-by:

commit 115c9b81 upstream. Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future. Signed-off-by:

commit 978520b7 upstream. Close some races at disconnection of a USB audio device by adding the chip->shutdown_mutex and chip->shutdown check at appropriate places. The spots to put bandaids are: - PCM prepare, hw_params and hw_free - where the usb device is accessed for communication or get speed, in mixer.c and others; the device speed is now cached in subs->speed instead of accessing to chip->dev The accesses in PCM open and close don't need the mutex protection because these are already handled in the core PCM disconnection code. The autosuspend/autoresume codes are still uncovered by this patch because of possible mutex deadlocks. They'll be covered by the upcoming change to rwsem. Also the mixer codes are untouched, too. These will be fixed in another patch, too. Reported-by:

commit f6365201 upstream. The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this. Signed-off-by:

commit abce9ac2 upstream. tpm_write calls tpm_transmit without checking the return value and assigns the return value unconditionally to chip->pending_data, even if it's an error value. This causes three bugs. So if we write to /dev/tpm0 with a tpm_param_size bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE=0x1000 (e.g. 0x100a) and a bufsize also bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE (e.g. 0x100a) tpm_transmit returns -E2BIG which is assigned to chip->pending_data as -7, but tpm_write returns that TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been successfully been written to the TPM, altough this is not true (bug #1). As we did write more than than TPM_BUFSIZE bytes but tpm_write reports that only TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been written the vfs tries to write the remaining bytes (in this case 10 bytes) to the tpm device driver via tpm_write which then blocks at /* cannot perform a write until the read has cleared either via tpm_read or a user_read_timer timeout */ while (atomic_read(&chip->data_pending) != 0) msleep(TPM_TIMEOUT); for 60 seconds, since data_pending is -7 and nobody is able to read it (since tpm_read luckily checks if data_pending is greater than 0) (#bug 2). After that the remaining bytes are written to the TPM which are interpreted by the tpm as a normal command. (bug #3) So if the last bytes of the command stream happen to be a e.g. tpm_force_clear this gets accidentally sent to the TPM. This patch fixes all three bugs, by propagating the error code of tpm_write and returning -E2BIG if the input buffer is too big, since the response from the tpm for a truncated value is bogus anyway. Moreover it returns -EBUSY to userspace if there is a response ready to be read. Signed-off-by:

commit 5b423f6a upstream. Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand. Tested-by:

In the extremely unlikely case of an attacker having control over the environment variables visible to gen_init_cpio, control over the contents of the file gen_init_cpio parses, and gen_init_cpio was built without compiler hardening, the attacker can gain arbitrary execution control via a stack buffer overflow. $ cat usr/crash.list file foo ${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG}${BIG} 0755 0 0 $ BIG=$(perl -e 'print "A" x 4096;') ./usr/gen_init_cpio usr/crash.list *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./usr/gen_init_cpio terminated This also replaces the space-indenting with tabs.

commit eedce141 upstream. The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in the bitmap. That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits (LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then. The same works for the lookup functions. The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap. However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for example, could be allocated for 70 bits. This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines. This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to set or check for a bit. This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits. What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of bytes. Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO. So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when rmmod'ed.

commit ef5d437f upstream. On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page, page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty(). Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from xfs_count_page_state(). Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then page unmapped. Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is dirty. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned up variant of the patch. The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines where the original problem was triggered. Signed-off-by:

commit 43a09f7f upstream. The command cancellation code doesn't check whether find_trb_seg() couldn't find the segment that contains the TRB to be canceled. This could cause a NULL pointer deference later in the function when next_trb is called. It's unlikely to happen unless something is wrong with the command ring pointers, so add some debugging in case it happens.
