commit 6d935928 upstream. Sometimes, warnings about ioctls to partition happen often enough that they form majority of the warnings in the kernel log and users complain. In some cases warnings are about ioctls such as SG_IO so it's not good to get rid of the warnings completely as they can ease debugging of userspace problems when ioctl is refused. Since I have seen warnings from lots of commands, including some proprietary userspace applications, I don't think disallowing the ioctls for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will happen in the near future if ever. So lets just stop warning for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO for which ioctl is allowed.

commit f2ebd422 upstream. kvm_set_irq() has an internal buffer of three irq routing entries, allowing connecting a GSI to three IRQ chips or on MSI. However setup_routing_entry() does not properly enforce this, allowing three irqchip routes followed by an MSI route to overflow the buffer. Fix by ensuring that an MSI entry is added to an empty list. Signed-off-by:

commit b92946e2 upstream. There're several reasons that the vectors need to be validated: - Return error when caller provides vectors whose num is greater than UIO_MAXIOV. - Linearize part of skb when userspace provides vectors grater than MAX_SKB_FRAGS. - Return error when userspace provides vectors whose total length may exceed - MAX_SKB_FRAGS * PAGE_SIZE.

commit 01d6657b upstream. Current the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is set unconditionally after zerocopy_sg_from_iovec(), this would lead NULL pointer when macvtap fails to build zerocopy skb because destructor_arg was not initialized. Solve this by set this flag after the skb were built successfully. Signed-off-by:

commit 90481622 upstream. hugetlbfs_{get,put}_quota() are badly named. They don't interact with the general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour. Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages) associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance. Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page(). This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the associated inode has already been freed. If an unmount occurs at the wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are stored may have been freed. Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock, bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed. Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made the existing layering violation worse. This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and some of the existing, layering violation. It works by introducing the concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from. hugetlbfs now creates a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of the address_space pointer used now. The subpool has its own lifetime and is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e. superblocks) are gone. subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to mean that no subpool limits are in effect. Previous discussion of this bug found in: "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs quota handling.". See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/11/28 or http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=126928970510627&w=1 v2: Fixed a bug spotted by Hillf Danton, and removed the extra parameter to alloc_huge_page() - since it already takes the vma, it is not necessary.

commit 620c231c upstream. scripts/depmod.sh checks for the output of '-V' expecting that it has module-init-tools in it. It's a hack to prevent users from using modutils instead of module-init-tools, that only works with 2.4.x kernels. This however prints an annoying warning for kmod tool, that is currently replacing module-init-tools. Rather than putting another check for kmod's version, just remove it since users of 2.4.x kernel are unlikely to upgrade to 3.x, and if they do, let depmod fail in that case because they should know what they are doing.

commit 1c8ecf80 upstream. With base on latest findings, RC6p seems to be respondible for RC6-related issues on Sandy Bridge platform. To work-around those issues, the previous solution was to completely disable RC6 on Sandy Bridge for the past few releases, even if plain RC6 was not giving any issues. What this patch does is preventing RC6p from being enabled on Sandy Bridge even if users enable RC6 via a kernel parameter. So it won't change the defaults in any way, but will ensure that if users do enable RC6 manually it won't break their machines by enabling this extra state. Proper fix for this (enabling specific RC6 states according to the GPU generation) were proposed for the -next kernel, but we are too late in the release process now to pick such changes. Acked-by:

If a stripe has both the bits set, such stripe will be in delayed list and preread count not 0, which will make such stripe never leave delayed list. Signed-off-by:

commit 2dfd0603 upstream. Ocfs2 uses kiocb.*private as a flag of unsigned long size. In commit a11f7e63 ocfs2: serialize unaligned aio, the unaligned io flag is involved in it to serialize the unaligned aio. As *private is not initialized in init_sync_kiocb() of do_sync_write(), this unaligned io flag may be unexpectly set in an aligned dio. And this will cause OCFS2_I(inode)->ip_unaligned_aio decreased to -1 in ocfs2_dio_end_io(), thus the following unaligned dio will hang forever at ocfs2_aiodio_wait() in ocfs2_file_aio_write().

commit ec01d738 upstream. When the server doesn't advertise CAP_LARGE_READ_X, then MS-CIFS states that you must cap the size of the read at the client's MaxBufferSize. Unfortunately, testing with many older servers shows that they often can't service a read larger than their own MaxBufferSize. Since we can't assume what the server will do in this situation, we must be conservative here for the default. When the server can't do large reads, then assume that it can't satisfy any read larger than its MaxBufferSize either. Luckily almost all modern servers can do large reads, so this won't affect them. This is really just for older win9x and OS/2 era servers. Also, note that this patch just governs the default rsize. The admin can always override this if he so chooses. Reported-by:

The proc handler is installed in ip6_route_net_init() whereas fib_table_hash is allocated in fib6_net_init() _after_ the proc handler has been installed.

[ Upstream commit 954fba02 ] Bogdan Hamciuc diagnosed and fixed following bug in netpoll_send_udp() : "skb->len += len;" instead of "skb_put(skb, len);" Meaning that _if_ a network driver needs to call skb_realloc_headroom(), only packet headers would be copied, leaving garbage in the payload. However the skb_realloc_headroom() must be avoided as much as possible since it requires memory and netpoll tries hard to work even if memory is exhausted (using a pool of preallocated skbs) It appears netpoll_send_udp() reserved 16 bytes for the ethernet header, which happens to work for typicall drivers but not all. Right thing is to use LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) (And also add dev->needed_tailroom of tailroom) This patch combines both fixes. Many thanks to Bogdan for raising this issue. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 5ee31c68 ] In the transmit path of the bonding driver, skb->cb is used to stash the skb->queue_mapping so that the bonding device can set its own queue mapping. This value becomes corrupted since the skb->cb is also used in __dev_xmit_skb. When transmitting through bonding driver, bond_select_queue is called from dev_queue_xmit. In bond_select_queue the original skb->queue_mapping is copied into skb->cb (via bond_queue_mapping) and skb->queue_mapping is overwritten with the bond driver queue. Subsequently in dev_queue_xmit, __dev_xmit_skb is called which writes the packet length into skb->cb, thereby overwriting the stashed queue mappping. In bond_dev_queue_xmit (called from hard_start_xmit), the queue mapping for the skb is set to the stashed value which is now the skb length and hence is an invalid queue for the slave device. If we want to save skb->queue_mapping into skb->cb[], best place is to add a field in struct qdisc_skb_cb, to make sure it wont conflict with other layers (eg : Qdiscc, Infiniband...) This patchs also makes sure (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data is aligned on 8 bytes : netem qdisc for example assumes it can store an u64 in it, without misalignment penalty. Note : we only have 20 bytes left in (struct qdisc_skb_cb)->data[]. The largest user is CHOKe and it fills it. Based on a previous patch from Tom Herbert. Signed-off-by:
