Exactly because for_each_thread() in autogroup_move_group() can't see it
and update its -&gt;sched_task_group before _put() and possibly free().

So the exiting task needs another sched_move_task() before exit_notify()
and we need to re-introduce the PF_EXITING (or similar) check removed by
the previous change for another reason.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Clear congestion control state when changing algorithms on an
    existing socket, from Florian Westphal.

 2) Fix register bit values in altr_tse_pcs portion of stmmac driver,
    from Jia Jie Ho.

 3) Fix PTP handling in stammc driver for GMAC4, from Giuseppe
    CAVALLARO.

 4) Fix udplite multicast delivery handling, it ignores the udp_table
    parameter passed into the lookups, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

 5) Synchronize the space estimated by rtnl_vfinfo_size and the space
    actually used by rtnl_fill_vfinfo. From Sabrina Dubroca.

 6) Fix memory leak in fib_info when splitting nodes, from Alexander
    Duyck.

 7) If a driver does a napi_hash_del() explicitily and not via
    netif_napi_del(), it must perform RCU synchronization as needed. Fix
    this in virtio-net and bnxt drivers, from Eric Dumazet.

 8) Likewise, it is not necessary to invoke napi_hash_del() is we are
    also doing neif_napi_del() in the same code path. Remove such calls
    from be2net and cxgb4 drivers, also from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Don't allocate an ID in peernet2id_alloc() if the netns is dead,
    from WANG Cong.

10) Fix OF node and device struct leaks in of_mdio, from Johan Hovold.

11) We cannot cache routes in ip6_tunnel when using inherited traffic
    classes, from Paolo Abeni.

12) Fix several crashes and leaks in cpsw driver, from Johan Hovold.

13) Splice operations cannot use freezable blocking calls in AF_UNIX,
    from WANG Cong.

14) Link dump filtering by master device and kind support added an error
    in loop index updates during the dump if we actually do filter, fix
    from Zhang Shengju.

<title>iommu/vt-d: Fix PASID table allocation</title>

<id>910170442944e1f8674fd5ddbeeb8ccd1877ea98</id>
<content type='text'>
Somehow I ended up with an off-by-three error in calculating the size of
the PASID and PASID State tables, which triggers allocations failures as
those tables unfortunately have to be physically contiguous.

In fact, even the *correct* maximum size of 8MiB is problematic and is
wont to lead to allocation failures. Since I have extracted a promise
that this *will* be fixed in hardware, I'm happy to limit it on the
current hardware to a maximum of 0x20000 PASIDs, which gives us 1MiB
tables — still not ideal, but better than before.

Reported by Mika Kuoppala &lt;mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com&gt; and also by
Xunlei Pang &lt;xlpang@redhat.com&gt; who submitted a simpler patch to fix
only the allocation (and not the free) to the "correct" limit... which
was still problematic.

<title>mremap: fix race between mremap() and page cleanning</title>

<id>5d1904204c99596b50a700f092fe49d78edba400</id>
<content type='text'>
Prior to 3.15, there was a race between zap_pte_range() and
page_mkclean() where writes to a page could be lost.  Dave Hansen
discovered by inspection that there is a similar race between
move_ptes() and page_mkclean().

We've been able to reproduce the issue by enlarging the race window with
a msleep(), but have not been able to hit it without modifying the code.
So, we think it's a real issue, but is difficult or impossible to hit in
practice.

The zap_pte_range() issue is fixed by commit 1cf35d47712d("mm: split
'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts").  And
this patch is to fix the race between page_mkclean() and mremap().

Here is one possible way to hit the race: suppose a process mmapped a
file with READ | WRITE and SHARED, it has two threads and they are bound
to 2 different CPUs, e.g.  CPU1 and CPU2.  mmap returned X, then thread
1 did a write to addr X so that CPU1 now has a writable TLB for addr X
on it.  Thread 2 starts mremaping from addr X to Y while thread 1
cleaned the page and then did another write to the old addr X again.
The 2nd write from thread 1 could succeed but the value will get lost.

        thread 1                           thread 2
     (bound to CPU1)                    (bound to CPU2)

  1: write 1 to addr X to get a
     writeable TLB on this CPU

                                        2: mremap starts

                                        3: move_ptes emptied PTE for addr X
                                           and setup new PTE for addr Y and
                                           then dropped PTL for X and Y

  4: page laundering for N by doing
     fadvise FADV_DONTNEED. When done,
     pageframe N is deemed clean.

  5: *write 2 to addr X

                                        6: tlb flush for addr X

  7: munmap (Y, pagesize) to make the
     page unmapped

  8: fadvise with FADV_DONTNEED again
     to kick the page off the pagecache

  9: pread the page from file to verify
     the value. If 1 is there, it means
     we have lost the written 2.

  *the write may or may not cause segmentation fault, it depends on
  if the TLB is still on the CPU.

Please note that this is only one specific way of how the race could
occur, it didn't mean that the race could only occur in exact the above
config, e.g. more than 2 threads could be involved and fadvise() could
be done in another thread, etc.

For anonymous pages, they could race between mremap() and page reclaim:
THP: a huge PMD is moved by mremap to a new huge PMD, then the new huge
PMD gets unmapped/splitted/pagedout before the flush tlb happened for
the old huge PMD in move_page_tables() and we could still write data to
it.  The normal anonymous page has similar situation.

To fix this, check for any dirty PTE in move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() and
if any, did the flush before dropping the PTL.  If we did the flush for
every move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() call then we do not need to do the
flush in move_pages_tables() for the whole range.  But if we didn't, we
still need to do the whole range flush.

Alternatively, we can track which part of the range is flushed in
move_ptes()/move_huge_pmd() and which didn't to avoid flushing the whole
range in move_page_tables().  But that would require multiple tlb
flushes for the different sub-ranges and should be less efficient than
the single whole range flush.

KBuild test on my Sandybridge desktop doesn't show any noticeable change.

Prior to 3.15, there was a race between zap_pte_range() and
page_mkclean() where writes to a page could be lost.  Dave Hansen
discovered by inspection that there is a similar race between
move_ptes() and page_mkclean().

We've been able to reproduce the issue by enlarging the race window with
a msleep(), but have not been able to hit it without modifying the code.
So, we think it's a real issue, but is difficult or impossible to hit in
practice.

The zap_pte_range() issue is fixed by commit 1cf35d47712d("mm: split
'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts").  And
this patch is to fix the race between page_mkclean() and mremap().

Here is one possible way to hit the race: suppose a process mmapped a
file with READ | WRITE and SHARED, it has two threads and they are bound
to 2 different CPUs, e.g.  CPU1 and CPU2.  mmap returned X, then thread
1 did a write to addr X so that CPU1 now has a writable TLB for addr X
on it.  Thread 2 starts mremaping from addr X to Y while thread 1
cleaned the page and then did another write to the old addr X again.
The 2nd write from thread 1 could succeed but the value will get lost.

        thread 1                           thread 2
     (bound to CPU1)                    (bound to CPU2)

  1: write 1 to addr X to get a
     writeable TLB on this CPU

                                        2: mremap starts

                                        3: move_ptes emptied PTE for addr X
                                           and setup new PTE for addr Y and
                                           then dropped PTL for X and Y

  4: page laundering for N by doing
     fadvise FADV_DONTNEED. When done,
     pageframe N is deemed clean.

  5: *write 2 to addr X

                                        6: tlb flush for addr X

  7: munmap (Y, pagesize) to make the
     page unmapped

  8: fadvise with FADV_DONTNEED again
     to kick the page off the pagecache

  9: pread the page from file to verify
     the value. If 1 is there, it means
     we have lost the written 2.

  *the write may or may not cause segmentation fault, it depends on
  if the TLB is still on the CPU.

Please note that this is only one specific way of how the race could

<title>bpf: fix range arithmetic for bpf map access</title>

I made some invalid assumptions with BPF_AND and BPF_MOD that could result in
invalid accesses to bpf map entries.  Fix this up by doing a few things

1) Kill BPF_MOD support.  This doesn't actually get used by the compiler in real
life and just adds extra complexity.

2) Fix the logic for BPF_AND, don't allow AND of negative numbers and set the
minimum value to 0 for positive AND's.

3) Don't do operations on the ranges if they are set to the limits, as they are
by definition undefined, and allowing arithmetic operations on those values
could make them appear valid when they really aren't.

This fixes the testcase provided by Jann as well as a few other theoretical
problems.
