lz4: add overrun checks to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize()

2014-07-07T01:57:29+00:00

commit 4a3a99045177369700c60d074c0e525e8093b0fc upstream.

Jan points out that I forgot to make the needed fixes to the
lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize() function to mirror the changes done
in lz4_decompress() with regards to potential pointer overflows.

The only in-kernel user of this function is the zram code, which only
takes data from a valid compressed buffer that it made itself, so it's
not a big issue.  But due to external kernel modules using this
function, it's better to be safe here.

lz4: fix another possible overrun

2014-07-01T03:12:02+00:00

commit 4148c1f67abf823099b2d7db6851e4aea407f5ee upstream.

There is one other possible overrun in the lz4 code as implemented by
Linux at this point in time (which differs from the upstream lz4
codebase, but will get synced at in a future kernel release.)  As
pointed out by Don, we also need to check the overflow in the data
itself.

While we are at it, replace the odd error return value with just a
"simple" -1 value as the return value is never used for anything other
than a basic "did this work or not" check.

idr: fix overflow bug during maximum ID calculation at maximum height

2014-07-01T03:11:54+00:00

commit 3afb69cb5572b3c8c898c00880803cf1a49852c4 upstream.

idr_replace() open-codes the logic to calculate the maximum valid ID
given the height of the idr tree; unfortunately, the open-coded logic
doesn't account for the fact that the top layer may have unused slots
and over-shifts the limit to zero when the tree is at its maximum
height.

The following test code shows it fails to replace the value for
id=((1<<27)+42):

  static void test5(void)
  {
        int id;
        DEFINE_IDR(test_idr);
  #define TEST5_START ((1<<27)+42) /* use the highest layer */

        printk(KERN_INFO "Start test5\n");
        id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, TEST5_START, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
        BUG_ON(id != TEST5_START);
        TEST_BUG_ON(idr_replace(&test_idr, (void *)2, TEST5_START) != (void *)1);
        idr_destroy(&test_idr);
        printk(KERN_INFO "End of test5\n");
  }

Fix the bug by using idr_max() which correctly takes into account the
maximum allowed shift.

sub_alloc() shares the same problem and may incorrectly fail with
-EAGAIN; however, this bug doesn't affect correct operation because
idr_get_empty_slot(), which already uses idr_max(), retries with the
increased @id in such cases.

lz4: ensure length does not wrap

2014-06-26T19:15:42+00:00

commit 206204a1162b995e2185275167b22468c00d6b36 upstream.

Given some pathologically compressed data, lz4 could possibly decide to
wrap a few internal variables, causing unknown things to happen.  Catch
this before the wrapping happens and abort the decompression.

lzo: properly check for overruns

2014-06-26T19:15:42+00:00

commit 206a81c18401c0cde6e579164f752c4b147324ce upstream.

The lzo decompressor can, if given some really crazy data, possibly
overrun some variable types.  Modify the checking logic to properly
detect overruns before they happen.

netlink: rate-limit leftover bytes warning and print process name

2014-06-26T19:15:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit bfc5184b69cf9eeb286137640351c650c27f118a ]

Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes.
Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam.

The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the
triggering command name to implicate the buggy program.

[v2: Use pr_warn_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimited.]

lib/percpu_counter.c: fix bad percpu counter state during suspend

2014-05-13T11:32:56+00:00

commit e39435ce68bb4685288f78b1a7e24311f7ef939f upstream.

I got a bug report yesterday from Laszlo Ersek in which he states that
his kvm instance fails to suspend.  Laszlo bisected it down to this
commit 1cf7e9c68fe8 ("virtio_blk: blk-mq support") where virtio-blk is
converted to use the blk-mq infrastructure.

After digging a bit, it became clear that the issue was with the queue
drain.  blk-mq tracks queue usage in a percpu counter, which is
incremented on request alloc and decremented when the request is freed.
The initial hunt was for an inconsistency in blk-mq, but everything
seemed fine.  In fact, the counter only returned crazy values when
suspend was in progress.

When a CPU is unplugged, the percpu counters merges that CPU state with
the general state.  blk-mq takes care to register a hotcpu notifier with
the appropriate priority, so we know it runs after the percpu counter
notifier.  However, the percpu counter notifier only merges the state
when the CPU is fully gone.  This leaves a state transition where the
CPU going away is no longer in the online mask, yet it still holds
private values.  This means that in this state, percpu_counter_sum()
returns invalid results, and the suspend then hangs waiting for
abs(dead-cpu-value) requests to complete which of course will never
happen.

Fix this by clearing the state earlier, so we never have a case where
the CPU isn't in online mask but still holds private state.  This bug
has been there since forever, I guess we don't have a lot of users where
percpu counters needs to be reliable during the suspend cycle.

netlink: don't compare the nul-termination in nla_strcmp

2014-04-14T13:50:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8b7b932434f5eee495b91a2804f5b64ebb2bc835 ]

nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly
including the nul-termination in the comparison.

 int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str)
 {
        int len = strlen(str) + 1;
        ...
                d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len);

However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without
the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string
comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the
nul-termination.

Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the
attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.

random32: avoid attempt to late reseed if in the middle of seeding

2014-03-28T20:04:19+00:00

Commit 4af712e8df ("random32: add prandom_reseed_late() and call when
nonblocking pool becomes initialized") has added a late reseed stage
that happens as soon as the nonblocking pool is marked as initialized.

This fails in the case that the nonblocking pool gets initialized
during __prandom_reseed()'s call to get_random_bytes(). In that case
we'd double back into __prandom_reseed() in an attempt to do a late
reseed - deadlocking on 'lock' early on in the boot process.

Instead, just avoid even waiting to do a reseed if a reseed is already
occuring.
