commit 3ac06b90 upstream. 3GPP TS 07.10 states in section 5.4.6.3.7: "The length byte contains the value 2 or 3 ... depending on the break signal." The break byte is optional and if it is sent, the length is 3. In fact the driver was not able to work with modems that send this break byte in their modem status control message. If the modem just sends the break byte if it is really set, then weird things might happen. The code for deconding the modem status to the internal linux presentation in gsm_process_modem has already a big comment about this 2 or 3 byte length thing and it is already able to decode the brk, but the code calling the gsm_process_modem function in gsm_control_modem does not encode it and hand it over the right way. This patch fixes this. Without this fix if the modem sends the brk byte in it's modem status control message the driver will hang when opening a muxed channel. Signed-off-by:

commit 2ec197db upstream. If an NFS client attempts to get a lock (using NLM) and the lock is not available, the server will remember the request and when the lock becomes available it will send a GRANT request to the client to provide the lock. If the client already held an adjacent lock, the GRANT callback will report the union of the existing and new locks, which can confuse the client. This happens because __posix_lock_file (called by vfs_lock_file) updates the passed-in file_lock structure when adjacent or over-lapping locks are found. To avoid this problem we take a copy of the two fields that can be changed (fl_start and fl_end) before the call and restore them afterwards. An alternate would be to allocate a 'struct file_lock', initialise it, use locks_copy_lock() to take a copy, then locks_release_private() after the vfs_lock_file() call. But that is a lot more work.

commit 5bbb2ae3 upstream. bind_get() checks the device number it is called with. It uses MAX_RAW_MINORS for the upper bound. But MAX_RAW_MINORS is set at compile time while the actual number of raw devices can be set at runtime. This means the test can either be too strict or too lenient. And if the test ends up being too lenient bind_get() might try to access memory beyond what was allocated for "raw_devices". So check against the runtime value (max_raw_minors) in this function.

commit 14e2abb7 upstream. On IBM pseries systems the device_type device-tree property of a PCIe bridge contains the string "pciex". The of_bus_pci_match() function was looking only for "pci" on this property, so in such cases the bus matching code was falling back to the default bus, causing problems on functions that should be using "assigned-addresses" for region address translation. This patch fixes the problem by also looking for "pciex" on the PCI bus match function. v2: added comment Signed-off-by:

commit c5128654 upstream. The driver wasn't reading the NVM properly. While this didn't lead to any issue until now, it seems that there is an old version of the NVM in the wild. In this version, the A band channels appear to be valid but the SKU capabilities (another field of the NVM) says that A band isn't supported at all. With this specific version of the NVM, the driver would think that A band is supported while the HW / firmware don't. This leads to asserts. Reviewed-by:

commit 1f802f82 upstream. This reverts commit e120cc0d. It causes a NULL pointer dereference with drivers using the generic spi_transfer_one_message(), which always calls spi_finalize_current_message(), which zeroes master->cur_msg. Drivers implementing transfer_one_message() theirselves must always call spi_finalize_current_message(), even if the transfer failed: * @transfer_one_message: the subsystem calls the driver to transfer a single * message while queuing transfers that arrive in the meantime. When the * driver is finished with this message, it must call * spi_finalize_current_message() so the subsystem can issue the next * transfer Signed-off-by:

commit 8d7f6690 upstream. The kernel currently crashes with a low-address-protection exception if a user space process executes an instruction that tries to use the linkage stack. Set the base-ASTE origin and the subspace-ASTE origin of the dispatchable-unit-control-table to point to a dummy ASTE. Set up control register 15 to point to an empty linkage stack with no room left. A user space process with a linkage stack instruction will still crash but with a different exception which is correctly translated to a segmentation fault instead of a kernel oops. Signed-off-by:

commit d7736ff5 upstream. Dumps created by kdump or zfcpdump can contain invalid memory holes when dumping z/VM systems that have memory pressure. For example: # zgetdump -i /proc/vmcore. Memory map: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000bfffff (12 MB) 0000000000e00000 - 00000000014fffff (7 MB) 000000000bd00000 - 00000000f3bfffff (3711 MB) The memory detection function find_memory_chunks() issues tprot to find valid memory chunks. In case of CMM it can happen that pages are marked as unstable via set_page_unstable() in arch_free_page(). If z/VM has released that pages, tprot returns -EFAULT and indicates a memory hole. So fix this and switch off CMM in case of kdump or zfcpdump. Signed-off-by:

commit 2fa4cb90 upstream. sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic, hence we can not take mutexes or do other operations, which can sleep in ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(). I think we can just return from ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(), if it is called without IEEE80211_RC_SUPP_RATES_CHANGED bit. That will help with scheduling while atomic bug for most cases (except mesh and IBSS modes). For mesh and IBSS I do not see other solution like creating additional workqueue, because sending firmware command require us to sleep, but this can be done in additional patch.

commit 338f977f upstream. The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

commit 83e3bc23 upstream. The get/set ACL xattr support for CIFS ACLs attempts to send old cifs dialect protocol requests even when mounted with SMB2 or later dialects. Sending cifs requests on an smb2 session causes problems - the server drops the session due to the illegal request. This patch makes CIFS ACL operations protocol specific to fix that. Attempting to query/set CIFS ACLs for SMB2 will now return EOPNOTSUPP (until we add worker routines for sending query ACL requests via SMB2) instead of sending invalid (cifs) requests. A separate followon patch will be needed to fix cifs_acl_to_fattr (which takes a cifs specific u16 fid so can't be abstracted to work with SMB2 until that is changed) and will be needed to fix mount problems when "cifsacl" is specified on mount with e.g. vers=2.1 Signed-off-by:

commit d979f3b0 upstream. Changeset 666753c3 added protocol operations for get/setxattr to avoid calling cifs operations on smb2/smb3 mounts for xattr operations and this changeset adds the calls to cifs specific protocol operations for xattrs (in order to reenable cifs support for xattrs which was temporarily disabled by the previous changeset. We do not have SMB2/SMB3 worker function for setting xattrs yet so this only enables it for cifs.

commit 666753c3 upstream.

commit 8d547ff4 upstream. mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail page. This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e4 ("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page. When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes little sense. This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid testing. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/&&/&/] Signed-off-by:

commit a0b54add upstream. Changes in commit a0b8cab3 ("mm: remove lru parameter from __pagevec_lru_add and remove parts of pagevec API") have introduced a call to add_to_page_cache_lru() which causes a leak in nfs_symlink() as now the page gets an extra refcount that is not dropped. Jan Stancek observed and reported the leak effect while running test8 from Connectathon Testsuite. After several iterations over the test case, which creates several symlinks on a NFS mountpoint, the test system was quickly getting into an out-of-memory scenario. This patch fixes the page leak by dropping that extra refcount add_to_page_cache_lru() is grabbing. Signed-off-by:

commit 96c7a2ff upstream. Recently due to a spike in connections per second memcached on 3 separate boxes triggered the OOM killer from accept. At the time the OOM killer was triggered there was 4GB out of 36GB free in zone 1. The problem was that alloc_fdtable was allocating an order 3 page (32KiB) to hold a bitmap, and there was sufficient fragmentation that the largest page available was 8KiB. I find the logic that PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER can't fail pretty dubious but I do agree that order 3 allocations are very likely to succeed. There are always pathologies where order > 0 allocations can fail when there are copious amounts of free memory available. Using the pigeon hole principle it is easy to show that it requires 1 page more than 50% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 1 (8KiB) allocation will succeed, 1 page more than 75% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 2 (16KiB) allocation will succeed and 1 page more than 87.5% of the pages being free to guarantee an order 3 allocate will succeed. A server churning memory with a lot of small requests and replies like memcached is a common case that if anything can will skew the odds against large pages being available. Therefore let's not give external applications a practical way to kill linux server applications, and specify __GFP_NORETRY to the kmalloc in alloc_fdmem. Unless I am misreading the code and by the time the code reaches should_alloc_retry in __alloc_pages_slowpath (where __GFP_NORETRY becomes signification). We have already tried everything reasonable to allocate a page and the only thing left to do is wait. So not waiting and falling back to vmalloc immediately seems like the reasonable thing to do even if there wasn't a chance of triggering the OOM killer. Signed-off-by:

He bisected the problem to commit 1667918b ("mm: numa: clear numa hinting information on mprotect") that was also included in 3.12-stable. The problem was related to how xen translates ptes because it was not accounting for the _PAGE_NUMA bit. This patch splits pte_present to add a pteval_present helper for use by xen so both bare metal and xen use the same code when checking if a PTE is present.

commit 6583327c upstream. Commit d61931d8, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot. The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when using ad hoc calling conventions. It is therefore best to treat any file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis, since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions. This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage profiling. Reported-by:

commit cca36e2e upstream. This reverts commit a242f426. That commit actually caused deadlocks, rather then fixing them. If ext_lock is set to NULL (otherwise videobuf_queue_lock doesn't do anything), then you get this deadlock: The driver's mmap function calls videobuf_mmap_mapper which calls videobuf_queue_lock on q. videobuf_mmap_mapper calls __videobuf_mmap_mapper, __videobuf_mmap_mapper calls videobuf_vm_open and videobuf_vm_open calls videobuf_queue_lock on q (introduced by above patch): deadlocked. This affects drivers using dma-contig and dma-vmalloc. Only dma-sg is not affected since it doesn't call videobuf_vm_open from __videobuf_mmap_mapper. Most drivers these days have a non-NULL ext_lock. Those that still use NULL there are all fairly obscure drivers, which is why this hasn't been seen earlier. Since everything worked perfectly fine for many years I prefer to just revert this patch rather than trying to fix it. videobuf is quite fragile and I rather not touch it too much. Work is (slowly) progressing to move everything over to vb2 or at the very least use non-NULL ext_lock in videobuf. Signed-off-by:

commit 866e8d8a upstream. mxl111sf_read_reg takes an address of a variable to write to as an argument. drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/mxl111sf-gpio.c:mxl111sf_config_pin_mux_modes passes several uninitialized stack variables to this routine, expecting them to be filled in. In the event that something unexpected happens when reading from the chip, we end up doing a pr_debug of the value passed in, revealing whatever garbage happened to be on the stack. Change the pr_debug to match what happens in the 'success' case, where we assign buf[1] to *data. Spotted with Coverity (Bugs 731910 through 731917) Signed-off-by:

commit f98b7a77 upstream. There was a large performance regression that was bisected to commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86"). This patch simply changes the default balance point between a local and global flush for IvyBridge. In the interest of allowing the tests to be reproduced, this patch was tested using mmtests 0.15 with the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__tlbflush-performance configs/config-global-dhp__scheduler-performance configs/config-global-dhp__network-performance Results are from two machines Ivybridge 4 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz Ivybridge 8 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Page fault microbenchmark showed nothing interesting. Ebizzy was configured to run multiple iterations and threads. Thread counts ranged from 1 to NR_CPUS*2. For each thread count, it ran 100 iterations and each iteration lasted 10 seconds.

The patch addresses the problem. Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected within that section. iteration 1, random number between 0-64 iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges and an even spread is not representative of any workload that matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it would not account for the time between flushes but there are limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering with the test results recently. Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine. These results were unstable and showed large variations between reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary. Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems like a logical choice.
