=====================================================

tipc_add_tlv() puts TLV descriptor and value onto `skb`. This size is
calculated with TLV_SPACE() macro. It adds the size of struct tlv_desc and
the length of TLV value passed as an argument, and aligns the result to a
multiple of TLV_ALIGNTO, i.e., a multiple of 4 bytes.

If the size of struct tlv_desc plus the length of TLV value is not aligned,
the current implementation leaves the remaining bytes uninitialized. This
is the cause of the above kernel-infoleak issue.

This patch resolves this issue by clearing data up to an aligned size.

TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
causes the above issue.

This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.

syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue.

Fixes: 0655f6a8635b ("tipc: add bearer disable/enable to new netlink api")

causes the above issue.

This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.

syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue.

It seems that tipc_crypto_key_revoke() could be be invoked by
wokequeue tipc_crypto_work_rx() under process context and
timer/rx callback under softirq context, thus the lock acquisition
on &amp;tx-&gt;lock seems better use spin_lock_bh() to prevent possible
deadlock.

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

If, for any reason, the open-coded arithmetic causes a wraparound,
the protection that `struct_size()` adds against potential integer

Patch series "New page table range API", v6.

This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:

    set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
    update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
    flush_dcache_folio(folio) 
    flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)

flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them.  The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.

The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once. 
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you. 
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.

One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking.  This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.

The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86.  I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too.  Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.

This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.


This patch (of 38):

Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND).  It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type.  Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.

Patch series "New page table range API", v6.

This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:

    set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
    update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
    flush_dcache_folio(folio) 
    flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)

flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them.  The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.

The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once. 
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you. 
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.

One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking.  This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.

The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86.  I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too.  Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:

Since dumps carry struct genl_info now, use the attrs pointer
from genl_info and remove the one in struct genl_dumpit_info.

Only three families use info-&gt;userhdr today and going forward
we discourage using fixed headers in new families.
So having the pointer to user header in struct genl_info
is an overkill. Compute the header pointer at runtime.
