2008-05-01Fix dnotify/close race (CVE-2008-1375)Al Viro
commit 214b7049a7929f03bbd2786aaef04b8b79db34e2 upstream. We have a race between fcntl() and close() that can lead to dnotify_struct inserted into inode's list *after* the last descriptor had been gone from current->files. Since that's the only point where dnotify_struct gets evicted, we are screwed - it will stick around indefinitely. Even after struct file in question is gone and freed. Worse, we can trigger send_sigio() on it at any later point, which allows to send an arbitrary signal to arbitrary process if we manage to apply enough memory pressure to get the page that used to host that struct file and fill it with the right pattern...

2008-05-01hrtimer: raise softirq unlocked to avoid circular lock dependencyThomas Gleixner
commit 0c96c5979a522c3323c30a078a70120e29b5bdbc upstream The scheduler hrtimer bits in 2.6.25 introduced a circular lock dependency in a rare code path: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.25-sched-devel.git-x86-latest.git #19 ------------------------------------------------------- X/2980 is trying to acquire lock: (&rq->rq_lock_key#2){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80230146>] task_rq_lock+0x56/0xa0 but task is already holding lock: (&cpu_base->lock){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80257ae1>] lock_hrtimer_base+0x31/0x60 which lock already depends on the new lock. The scenario which leads to this is: posix-timer signal is delivered -> posix-timer is rearmed timer is already expired in hrtimer_enqueue() -> softirq is raised To prevent this we need to move the raise of the softirq out of the base->lock protected code path.

2008-05-01x86: Fix 32-bit x86 MSI-X allocation leakagePJ Waskiewicz
commit 9d9ad4b51d2b29b5bbeb4011f5e76f7538119cf9 upstream This bug was introduced in the 2.6.24 lguest merge, where MSI-X vector allocation will eventually fail. The cause is the new bit array tracking used vectors is not getting cleared properly on IRQ destruction on the 32-bit APIC code. This can be seen easily using the ixgbe 10 GbE driver on multi-core systems by simply loading and unloading the driver a few times. Depending on the number of available vectors on the host system, the MSI-X allocation will eventually fail, and the driver will only be able to use legacy interrupts.

commit: bc5698f3ecc9587e1edb343a2878f8d228c49e0e upstream After PXE boot, the iw_nes driver does a full reset to ensure the card is in a clean state. However, it doesn't wait for firmware to complete its work before issuing a port reset to enable the ports, which leads to problems bringing up the ports.

2008-05-01hrtimer: timeout too long when using HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQBodo Stroesser
commit d7b41a24bfb5d7fa02f7b49be1293d468814e424 upstream When using hrtimer with timer->cb_mode == HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ in some cases the clockevent is not programmed. This happens, if: - a timer is rearmed while it's state is HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK - hrtimer_reprogram() returns -ETIME, when it is called after CALLBACK is finished. This occurs if the new timer->expires is in the past when CALLBACK is done. In this case, the timer needs to be removed from the tree and put onto the pending list again.

2008-05-01IPSEC: Fix catch-22 with algorithm IDs above 31Herbert Xu
[ Upstream commit: c5d18e984a313adf5a1a4ae69e0b1d93cf410229 ] As it stands it's impossible to use any authentication algorithms with an ID above 31 portably. It just happens to work on x86 but fails miserably on ppc64. The reason is that we're using a bit mask to check the algorithm ID but the mask is only 32 bits wide. After looking at how this is used in the field, I have concluded that in the long term we should phase out state matching by IDs because this is made superfluous by the reqid feature. For current applications, the best solution IMHO is to allow all algorithms when the bit masks are all ~0. The following patch does exactly that. This bug was identified by IBM when testing on the ppc64 platform using the NULL authentication algorithm which has an ID of 251.

2008-05-01RTNETLINK: Fix bogus ASSERT_RTNL warningPatrick McHardy
[ Upstream commit: c9c1014b2bd014c7ec037bbb6f58818162fdb265 ] ASSERT_RTNL uses mutex_trylock to test whether the rtnl_mutex is held. This bogus warnings when running in atomic context, which f.e. happens when adding secondary unicast addresses through macvlan or vlan or when synchronizing multicast addresses from wireless devices. Mid-term we might want to consider moving all address updates to process context since the locking seems overly complicated, for now just fix the bogus warning by changing ASSERT_RTNL to use mutex_is_locked().

2008-05-01TCP: Increase the max_burst threshold from 3 to tp->reordering.John Heffner
[ Upstream commit: dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36 ] This change is necessary to allow cwnd to grow during persistent reordering. Cwnd moderation is applied when in the disorder state and an ack that fills the hole comes in. If the hole was greater than 3 packets, but less than tp->reordering, cwnd will shrink when it should not have. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <jheffner@napa.none> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-05-01tcp: tcp_probe buffer overflow and incorrect return valueTom Quetchenbach
[ Upstream commit: 8d390efd903485923419584275fd0c2aa4c94183 ] tcp_probe has a bounds-checking bug that causes many programs (less, python) to crash reading /proc/net/tcp_probe. When it outputs a log line to the reader, it only checks if that line alone will fit in the reader's buffer, rather than that line and all the previous lines it has already written. tcpprobe_read also returns the wrong value if copy_to_user fails--it just passes on the return value of copy_to_user (number of bytes not copied), which makes a failure look like a success. This patch fixes the buffer overflow and sets the return value to -EFAULT if copy_to_user fails. Patch is against latest net-2.6; tested briefly and seems to fix the crashes in less and python.

2008-05-01tg3: 5701 DMA corruption fixMatt Carlson
[ Upstream commit: 41588ba1ae166eaba0a70abf2d7ff064ad9331d3 ] Herbert Xu's commit fb93134dfc2a6e6fbedc7c270a31da03fce88db9, entitled "[TCP]: Fix size calculation in sk_stream_alloc_pskb", has triggered a bug in the 5701 where the 5701 DMA engine will corrupt outgoing packets. This problem only happens when the starting address of the packet matches a certain range of offsets and only when the 5701 is placed downstream of a particular Intel bridge. This patch detects the problematic bridge and if present, readjusts the starting address of the packet data to a dword aligned boundary.

2008-05-01JFFS2: Fix free space leak with in-band cleanmarkersDavid Woodhouse
We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref() (without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size. But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_. Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper lock, while we're at it. Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost) pinpointing the problem.
