<content type='text'>
In DAX there are two separate places where the 2MiB range of a PMD is
defined.

The first is in the page tables, where a PMD mapping inserted for a
given address spans from (vmf-&gt;address &amp; PMD_MASK) to ((vmf-&gt;address &amp;
PMD_MASK) + PMD_SIZE - 1).  That is, from the 2MiB boundary below the
address to the 2MiB boundary above the address.

So, for example, a fault at address 3MiB (0x30 0000) falls within the
PMD that ranges from 2MiB (0x20 0000) to 4MiB (0x40 0000).

The second PMD range is in the mapping-&gt;page_tree, where a given file
offset is covered by a radix tree entry that spans from one 2MiB aligned
file offset to another 2MiB aligned file offset.

So, for example, the file offset for 3MiB (pgoff 768) falls within the
PMD range for the order 9 radix tree entry that ranges from 2MiB (pgoff
512) to 4MiB (pgoff 1024).

This system works so long as the addresses and file offsets for a given
mapping both have the same offsets relative to the start of each PMD.

Consider the case where the starting address for a given file isn't 2MiB
aligned - say our faulting address is 3 MiB (0x30 0000), but that
corresponds to the beginning of our file (pgoff 0).  Now all the PMDs in
the mapping are misaligned so that the 2MiB range defined in the page
tables never matches up with the 2MiB range defined in the radix tree.

The current code notices this case for DAX faults to storage with the
following test in dax_pmd_insert_mapping():

	if (pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn) &amp; PG_PMD_COLOUR)
		goto unlock_fallback;

This test makes sure that the pfn we get from the driver is 2MiB
aligned, and relies on the assumption that the 2MiB alignment of the pfn
we get back from the driver matches the 2MiB alignment of the faulting
address.

However, faults to holes were not checked and we could hit the problem
described above.

This was reported in response to the NVML nvml/src/test/pmempool_sync
TEST5:

	$ cd nvml/src/test/pmempool_sync
	$ make TEST5

You can grab NVML here:

	https://github.com/pmem/nvml/

The dmesg warning you see when you hit this error is:

  WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 2900 at fs/dax.c:641 dax_insert_mapping_entry+0x2df/0x310

Where we notice in dax_insert_mapping_entry() that the radix tree entry
we are about to replace doesn't match the locked entry that we had
previously inserted into the tree.  This happens because the initial
insertion was done in grab_mapping_entry() using a pgoff calculated from
the faulting address (vmf-&gt;address), and the replacement in
dax_pmd_load_hole() =&gt; dax_insert_mapping_entry() is done using
vmf-&gt;pgoff.

In our failure case those two page offsets (one calculated from
vmf-&gt;address, one using vmf-&gt;pgoff) point to different order 9 radix
tree entries.

This failure case can result in a deadlock because the radix tree unlock
also happens on the pgoff calculated from vmf-&gt;address.  This means that
the locked radix tree entry that we swapped in to the tree in
dax_insert_mapping_entry() using vmf-&gt;pgoff is never unlocked, so all
future faults to that 2MiB range will block forever.

Fix this by validating that the faulting address's PMD offset matches
the PMD offset from the start of the file.  This check is done at the
very beginning of the fault and covers faults that would have mapped to
storage as well as faults to holes.  I left the COLOUR check in
dax_pmd_insert_mapping() in place in case we ever hit the insanity
condition where the alignment of the pfn we get from the driver doesn't
match the alignment of the userspace address.

<title>nfsd: Limit end of page list when decoding NFSv4 WRITE</title>

When processing an NFSv4 WRITE operation, argp-&gt;end should never
point past the end of the data in the final page of the page list.
Otherwise, nfsd4_decode_compound can walk into uninitialized memory.

More critical, nfsd4_decode_write is failing to increment argp-&gt;pagelen
when it increments argp-&gt;pagelist.  This can cause later xdr decoders
to assume more data is available than really is, which can cause server
crashes on malformed requests.

<title>pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER</title>

<id>311fc65c9fb9c966bca8e6f3ff8132ce57344ab9</id>
<content type='text'>
The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues.

When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong
vfsmount is passed to dentry_open.  Which results in the kernel displaying
the wrong pathname for the peer.

The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves
them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased
reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in
regressions.

To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing
the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is
being called.  This allows the path of the slave to be derived when
opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to
the slave be cached.  Thus removing the need for caching the path.

A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and
used to implement a function devpts_mntget.   The new function devpts_mntget
takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm
that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock.

v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work
v3: Suggestions by Linus
    - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer
    - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required

[ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit
  143c97cc6529, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to
  increased reference counts   - Linus ]

This fixes several instances of blk_status_t and bare errno ints being
mixed up, some of which are real bugs.

In the normal case, 0 matches BLK_STS_OK, so we don't observe any
effects of the missing conversion, but in case of errors or passes
through the repair/retry paths, the errors get mixed up.

The changes were identified using 'sparse', we don't have reports of the
buggy behaviour.

mixed up, some of which are real bugs.

In the normal case, 0 matches BLK_STS_OK, so we don't observe any
effects of the missing conversion, but in case of errors or passes
through the repair/retry paths, the errors get mixed up.

The changes were identified using 'sparse', we don't have reports of the
buggy behaviour.

This reverts commit c8c03f1858331e85d397bacccd34ef409aae993c.

It turns out that while fixing the ptmx file descriptor to have the
correct 'struct path' to the associated slave pty is a really good
thing, it breaks some user space tools for a very annoying reason.

The problem is that /dev/ptmx and its associated slave pty (/dev/pts/X)
are on different mounts.  That was what caused us to have the wrong path
in the first place (we would mix up the vfsmount of the 'ptmx' node,
with the dentry of the pty slave node), but it also means that now while
we use the right vfsmount, having the pty master open also keeps the pts
mount busy.

And it turn sout that that makes 'pbuilder' very unhappy, as noted by
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann:

 "This patch introduces a regression for me when using pbuilder
  0.228.7[2] (a helper to build Debian packages in a chroot and to
  create and update its chroots) when trying to umount /dev/ptmx (inside
  the chroot) on Debian/ unstable (full log and pbuilder configuration
  file[3] attached).

  [...]
  Setting up build-essential (12.3) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-15) ...
  I: unmounting dev/ptmx filesystem
  W: Could not unmount dev/ptmx: umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1340/dev/ptmx: target is busy
          (In some cases useful info about processes that
           use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)"

apparently pbuilder tries to unmount the /dev/pts filesystem while still
holding at least one master node open, which is arguably not very nice,
but we don't break user space even when fixing other bugs.

So this commit has to be reverted.

I'll try to figure out a way to avoid caching the path to the slave pty
in the master pty.  The only thing that actually wants that slave pty
path is the "TIOCGPTPEER" ioctl, and I think we could just recreate the
path at that time.

<title>cifs: return ENAMETOOLONG for overlong names in cifs_open()/cifs_lookup()</title>

Add checking for the path component length and verify it is &lt;= the maximum
that the server advertizes via FileFsAttributeInformation.

With this patch cifs.ko will now return ENAMETOOLONG instead of ENOENT
when users to access an overlong path.

To test this, try to cd into a (non-existing) directory on a CIFS share
that has a too long name:
cd /mnt/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

and it now should show a good error message from the shell:
bash: cd: /mnt/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...aaaaaa: File name too long
