commit dd1c1f2f2028a7b851f701fc6a8ebe39dcb95e7c upstream.

This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit
52ee2dfdd4f5 ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but
somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is
not safe because task-&gt;group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting
task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help.

We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader,
parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups.  Until then we
can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and
fix the problem.

commit 3010f876500f9ba921afaeccec30c45ca6584dc8 upstream.

There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are
enabled:

The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than
128 entries are needed.  See comment in e820__memblock_setup():

  * The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
  * (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
  * than that - so allow memblock resizing.

This memblock memory is freed here:
        free_low_memory_core_early()

We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages
are initialized in this path:

        deferred_init_memmap()
                for_each_mem_pfn_range()
                  __next_mem_pfn_range()
                    type = &amp;memblock.memory;

One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit
before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been
exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled.

Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128,
and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the
freed pages are sane.

5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be
ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound
workqueues w/ max_active == 1.  Because ordered workqueues reject
max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode
broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active
== 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes.

This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and
overrides from attribute changes if implict.

[ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34e6d323720d4c61bd714f5ae202c022 ]

Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we
can now trace init processes.  init is initially protected with
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but
there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can
be implicitly cleared.

This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing.  For
example, running:

  while true; do kill -STOP 1; done &amp;
  strace -p 1

and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being
left in state TASK_STOPPED.  Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but
init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring
them.

Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.

(see __alloc_pages_slowpath).

The same applies to the SLOB allocator which allows even larger sizes.
Make sure that they are capped properly and never request more than
MAX_ORDER order.

<title>cpuset: fix a deadlock due to incomplete patching of cpusets_enabled()</title>

commit 89affbf5d9ebb15c6460596822e8857ea2f9e735 upstream.

In codepaths that use the begin/retry interface for reading
mems_allowed_seq with irqs disabled, there exists a race condition that
stalls the patch process after only modifying a subset of the
static_branch call sites.

This problem manifested itself as a deadlock in the slub allocator,
inside get_any_partial.  The loop reads mems_allowed_seq value (via
read_mems_allowed_begin), performs the defrag operation, and then
verifies the consistency of mem_allowed via the read_mems_allowed_retry
and the cookie returned by xxx_begin.

The issue here is that both begin and retry first check if cpusets are
enabled via cpusets_enabled() static branch.  This branch can be
rewritted dynamically (via cpuset_inc) if a new cpuset is created.  The
x86 jump label code fully synchronizes across all CPUs for every entry
it rewrites.  If it rewrites only one of the callsites (specifically the
one in read_mems_allowed_retry) and then waits for the
smp_call_function(do_sync_core) to complete while a CPU is inside the
begin/retry section with IRQs off and the mems_allowed value is changed,
we can hang.

This is because begin() will always return 0 (since it wasn't patched
yet) while retry() will test the 0 against the actual value of the seq
counter.

The fix is to use two different static keys: one for begin
(pre_enable_key) and one for retry (enable_key).  In cpuset_inc(), we
first bump the pre_enable key to ensure that cpuset_mems_allowed_begin()
always return a valid seqcount if are enabling cpusets.  Similarly, when
disabling cpusets via cpuset_dec(), we first ensure that callers of

commit 89affbf5d9ebb15c6460596822e8857ea2f9e735 upstream.

In codepaths that use the begin/retry interface for reading
mems_allowed_seq with irqs disabled, there exists a race condition that
stalls the patch process after only modifying a subset of the
static_branch call sites.

This problem manifested itself as a deadlock in the slub allocator,
inside get_any_partial.  The loop reads mems_allowed_seq value (via
read_mems_allowed_begin), performs the defrag operation, and then
verifies the consistency of mem_allowed via the read_mems_allowed_retry
and the cookie returned by xxx_begin.

The issue here is that both begin and retry first check if cpusets are
enabled via cpusets_enabled() static branch.  This branch can be
rewritted dynamically (via cpuset_inc) if a new cpuset is created.  The
x86 jump label code fully synchronizes across all CPUs for every entry
it rewrites.  If it rewrites only one of the callsites (specifically the
one in read_mems_allowed_retry) and then waits for the
smp_call_function(do_sync_core) to complete while a CPU is inside the
begin/retry section with IRQs off and the mems_allowed value is changed,
we can hang.

This is because begin() will always return 0 (since it wasn't patched
yet) while retry() will test the 0 against the actual value of the seq
counter.

The fix is to use two different static keys: one for begin
(pre_enable_key) and one for retry (enable_key).  In cpuset_inc(), we
first bump the pre_enable key to ensure that cpuset_mems_allowed_begin()
always return a valid seqcount if are enabling cpusets.  Similarly, when
disabling cpusets via cpuset_dec(), we first ensure that callers of
cpuset_mems_allowed_retry() will start ignoring the seqcount value
before we let cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() return 0.

<title>mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries</title>

commit 3ea277194daaeaa84ce75180ec7c7a2075027a68 upstream.

Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and
mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held.

He described the race as follows:

        CPU0                            CPU1
        ----                            ----
                                        user accesses memory using RW PTE
                                        [PTE now cached in TLB]
        try_to_unmap_one()
        ==&gt; ptep_get_and_clear()
        ==&gt; set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
                                        mprotect(addr, PROT_READ)
                                        ==&gt; change_pte_range()
                                        ==&gt; [ PTE non-present - no flush ]

                                        user writes using cached RW PTE
        ...

        try_to_unmap_flush()

The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and
also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such
as munmap, mremap and madvise.

For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity
issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an
mprotect that limits access still allows access.  For munmap, it's
potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an
munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the
window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB.  However, it's
theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if
reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes.

Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok
as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page
reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to
corruption.  In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path
that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that
are guarded by this patch.  Other users such as gup as a race with
reclaim looks just at PTEs.  huge page variants should be ok as they
don't race with reclaim.  mincore only looks at PTEs.  userfault also
should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault
the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs
triggering a fault.

Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this
was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13
merge window as expected.  His ack is dropped from this version and
there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his
ack.

commit e44bb0cbdc88686c21e2175a990b40bf6db5d005 upstream.

The function to obtain a fwnode related to a struct device is useful for
drivers that use the fwnode property API: it allows not being aware of the
underlying firmware implementation.

The verifier is allocated on the stack, but the EXCHANGE_ID RPC call was
changed to be asynchronous by commit 8d89bd70bc939. If we interrrupt
the call to rpc_wait_for_completion_task(), we can therefore end up

<title>net/mlx4_core: Fix raw qp flow steering rules under SRIOV</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 10b1c04e92229ebeb38ccd0dcf2b6d3ec73c0575 ]

Demoting simple flow steering rule priority (for DPDK) was achieved by
wrapping FW commands MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH for the PF
as well, and forcing the priority to MLX4_DOMAIN_NIC in the wrapper
function for the PF and all VFs.

In function mlx4_ib_create_flow(), this change caused the main rule
creation for the PF to be wrapped, while it left the associated
tunnel steering rule creation unwrapped for the PF.

This mismatch caused rule deletion failures in mlx4_ib_destroy_flow()
for the PF when the detach wrapper function did not find the associated
tunnel-steering rule (since creation of that rule for the PF did not
go through the wrapper function).

Fix this by setting MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH to be "native"
(so that the PF invocation does not go through the wrapper), and perform

[ Upstream commit 10b1c04e92229ebeb38ccd0dcf2b6d3ec73c0575 ]

Demoting simple flow steering rule priority (for DPDK) was achieved by
wrapping FW commands MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH for the PF
as well, and forcing the priority to MLX4_DOMAIN_NIC in the wrapper
function for the PF and all VFs.

In function mlx4_ib_create_flow(), this change caused the main rule
creation for the PF to be wrapped, while it left the associated
tunnel steering rule creation unwrapped for the PF.

This mismatch caused rule deletion failures in mlx4_ib_destroy_flow()
for the PF when the detach wrapper function did not find the associated
tunnel-steering rule (since creation of that rule for the PF did not
go through the wrapper function).

Fix this by setting MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH to be "native"
(so that the PF invocation does not go through the wrapper), and perform
the required priority demotion for the PF in the mlx4_ib_create_flow()
code path.
