commit e66eded8309ebf679d3d3c1f5820d1f2ca332c71 upstream.

Don't allowing sharing the root directory with processes in a
different user namespace.  There doesn't seem to be any point, and to
allow it would require the overhead of putting a user namespace
reference in fs_struct (for permission checks) and incrementing that
reference count on practically every call to fork.

So just perform the inexpensive test of forbidding sharing fs_struct
acrosss processes in different user namespaces.  We already disallow
other forms of threading when unsharing a user namespace so this
should be no real burden in practice.

This updates setns, clone, and unshare to disallow multiple user
namespaces sharing an fs_struct.

USB: Fix connected device switch to Inactive state.

[This is upstream commit d3b9d7a9051d7024a93c76a84b2f84b3b66ad6d5.
It needs to be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, because it fixes the
buggy commit 65bdac5effd15d6af619b3b7218627ef4d84ed6a "USB: Handle warm
reset failure on empty port."]

A USB 3.0 device can transition to the Inactive state if a U1 or U2 exit
transition fails.  The current code in hub_events simply issues a warm
reset, but does not call any pre-reset or post-reset driver methods (or
unbind/rebind drivers without them).  Therefore the drivers won't know
their device has just been reset.

hub_events should instead call usb_reset_device.  This means
hub_port_reset now needs to figure out whether it should issue a warm
reset or a hot reset.

Remove the FIXME note about needing disconnect() for a NOTATTACHED
device.  This patch fixes that.

USB: Rip out recursive call on warm port reset.
2013-03-14T18:26:37+00:00

2373f5aef636cde0cdb552ee0cf7a15c99d43283

[This is upstream commit a24a6078754f28528bc91e7e7b3e6ae86bd936d8.
It needs to be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, because it fixes the
buggy commit 65bdac5effd15d6af619b3b7218627ef4d84ed6a "USB: Handle warm
reset failure on empty port."]

When a hot reset fails on a USB 3.0 port, the current port reset code
recursively calls hub_port_reset inside hub_port_wait_reset.  This isn't
ideal, since we should avoid recursive calls in the kernel, and it also
doesn't allow us to issue multiple warm resets on reset failures.

Rip out the recursive call.  Instead, add code to hub_port_reset to
issue a warm reset if the hot reset fails, and try multiple warm resets
before giving up on the port.

In hub_port_wait_reset, remove the recursive call and re-indent.  The
code is basically the same, except:

1. It bails out early if the port has transitioned to Inactive or
Compliance Mode after the reset completed.

2. It doesn't consider a connect status change to be a failed reset.  If
multiple warm resets needed to be issued, the connect status may have
changed, so we need to ignore that and look at the port link state
instead.  hub_port_reset will now do that.

3. It unconditionally sets udev->speed on all types of successful
resets.  The old recursive code would set the port speed when the second
hub_port_reset returned.

The old code did not handle connected devices needing a warm reset well.
There were only two situations that the old code handled correctly: an
empty port needing a warm reset, and a hot reset that migrated to a warm
reset.

When an empty port needed a warm reset, hub_port_reset was called with
the warm variable set.  The code in hub_port_finish_reset would skip
telling the USB core and the xHC host that the device was reset, because
otherwise that would result in a NULL pointer dereference.

When a USB 3.0 device reset migrated to a warm reset, the recursive call
made the call stack look like this:

hub_port_reset(warm = false)
        hub_wait_port_reset(warm = false)
                hub_port_reset(warm = true)
                        hub_wait_port_reset(warm = true)
                        hub_port_finish_reset(warm = true)
                        (return up the call stack to the first wait)

        hub_port_finish_reset(warm = false)

The old code didn't want to notify the USB core or the xHC host of device reset
twice, so it only did it in the second call to hub_port_finish_reset,
when warm was set to false.  This was necessary because
before patch two ("USB: Ignore xHCI Reset Device status."), the USB core
would pay attention to the xHC Reset Device command error status, and
the second call would always fail.

Now that we no longer have the recursive call, and warm can change from
false to true in hub_port_reset, we need to have hub_port_finish_reset
unconditionally notify the USB core and the xHC of the device reset.

In hub_port_finish_reset, unconditionally clear the connect status
change (CSC) bit for USB 3.0 hubs when the port reset is done.  If we
had to issue multiple warm resets for a device, that bit may have been
set if the device went into SS.Inactive and then was successfully warm
reset.

commit 68d929862e29a8b52a7f2f2f86a0600423b093cd upstream.

UEFI variables are typically stored in flash. For various reasons, avaiable
space is typically not reclaimed immediately upon the deletion of a
variable - instead, the system will garbage collect during initialisation
after a reboot.

Some systems appear to handle this garbage collection extremely poorly,
failing if more than 50% of the system flash is in use. This can result in
the machine refusing to boot. The safest thing to do for the moment is to
forbid writes if they'd end up using more than half of the storage space.
We can make this more finegrained later if we come up with a method for
identifying the broken machines.
