2010-07-05reiserfs: fix corruption during shrinking of xattrsJeff Mahoney
commit fb2162df74bb19552db3d988fd11c787cf5fad56 upstream. Commit 48b32a3553a54740d236b79a90f20147a25875e3 ("reiserfs: use generic xattr handlers") introduced a problem that causes corruption when extended attributes are replaced with a smaller value. The issue is that the reiserfs_setattr to shrink the xattr file was moved from before the write to after the write. The root issue has always been in the reiserfs xattr code, but was papered over by the fact that in the shrink case, the file would just be expanded again while the xattr was written. The end result is that the last 8 bytes of xattr data are lost. This patch fixes it to use new_size.

2010-07-05reiserfs: fix permissions on .reiserfs_privJeff Mahoney
commit cac36f707119b792b2396aed371d6b5cdc194890 upstream. Commit 677c9b2e393a0cd203bd54e9c18b012b2c73305a ("reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookup") removed the magic from the lookup code to hide the .reiserfs_priv directory since it was getting loaded at mount-time instead. The intent was that the entry would be hidden from the user via a poisoned d_compare, but this was faulty. This introduced a security issue where unprivileged users could access and modify extended attributes or ACLs belonging to other users, including root. This patch resolves the issue by properly hiding .reiserfs_priv. This was the intent of the xattr poisoning code, but it appears to have never worked as expected. This is fixed by using d_revalidate instead of d_compare. This patch makes -oexpose_privroot a no-op. I'm fine leaving it this way. The effort involved in working out the corner cases wrt permissions and caching outweigh the benefit of the feature.

commit ff30a0543e9a6cd732582063e7cae951cdb7acf2 upstream. Ever for 32-bit with sufficiently high NR_CPUS, and starting with commit 789d03f584484af85dbdc64935270c8e45f36ef7 also for 64-bit, the statically allocated early fixmap page tables were not covering FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, leading to a boot time crash when "ohci1394_dma=early" was used. Despite this entry not being a permanently used one, it needs to be moved into the permanent range since it has to be close to FIX_DBGP_BASE and FIX_EARLYCON_MEM_BASE.

commit 413b43deab8377819aba1dbad2abf0c15d59b491 upstream. Fix an 'oops' when a tmpfs mount point is mounted with the mpol=default mempolicy. Upon remounting a tmpfs mount point with 'mpol=default' option, the mount code crashed with a null pointer dereference. The initial problem report was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well. On examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy was requested. This 'NULL' mempolicy is accessed to store the node mask resulting in oops. The following patch fixes it.

2010-04-01coredump: suppress uid comparison test if core output files are pipesNeil Horman
commit 76595f79d76fbe6267a51b3a866a028d150f06d4 upstream. Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of pipes. This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe when it is created. The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero Reverts a pipe-affecting change which was accidentally made in : commit c46f739dd39db3b07ab5deb4e3ec81e1c04a91af : Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> : AuthorDate: Wed Nov 28 13:59:18 2007 +0100 : Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org> : CommitDate: Wed Nov 28 10:58:01 2007 -0800 : : vfs: coredumping fix Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: maximilian attems <max@stro.at> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2010-04-01Fix 'flush_old_exec()/setup_new_exec()' splitLinus Torvalds
commit 7ab02af428c2d312c0cf8fb0b01cc1eb21131a3d upstream. Commit 221af7f87b9 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint, but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a bit more careful. In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup' stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state that we're just setting up. So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()', which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment. This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu environment.

commit 05d43ed8a89c159ff641d472f970e3f1baa66318 upstream. Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries. And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing for a 32-bit compat process.

2010-04-01Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functionsLinus Torvalds
commit 221af7f87b97431e3ee21ce4b0e77d5411cf1549 upstream. 'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by: H.

Perhaps when scsi_remove_host is called,the scsi mid layer is sending some request. This doesn't occur for bare drives becuase the driver is already reporting those drives deleted prior to calling mpt2sas_base_detach. To solve this issue, we need to delete the volumes as well.

commit d306ebc28649b89877a22158fe0076f06cc46f60 upstream. ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU. This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based deep C-state. The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based deep C-states are being used).

The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been transmitted. serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were transmitted before they actually were. === Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers as follows: I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little different than the standard. This type of expansion board is very common. "Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device. The NetMos device does it slightly different I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register. The problem is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information. My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does not affect the already correct devices. Alan: We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with dodgy THRE.

2010-04-01b43: Fix throughput regressionLarry Finger
commit b6c3f5be7c6ac3375f44de4545c1ffe216b34022 upstream. Commit c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implement short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling. Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s. Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

commit fed08d036f2aabd8d0c684439de37f8ebec2bbc2 upstream. On my AMD780V chipset, hda_intel.c can crash the kernel with a divide by zero for as-yet unknown reasons. A simple check for zero prevents it, though the problem that causes it remains. Since the workaround is harmless and won't affect anyone except victims of this bug, it should be safe; moreover, because this crash can be triggered by a user-mode application, there are denial of service implications on the systems affected by the bug without the patch.

2010-04-01drm/r128: Add test for initialisation to all ioctls that require itBen Hutchings
commit 7dc482dfeeeefcfd000d4271c4626937406756d7 upstream. Almost all r128's private ioctls require that the CCE state has already been initialised. However, most do not test that this has been done, and will proceed to dereference a null pointer. This may result in a security vulnerability, since some ioctls are unprivileged. This adds a macro for the common initialisation test and changes all ioctl implementations that require prior initialisation to use that macro. Also, r128_do_init_cce() does not test that the CCE state has not been initialised already. Repeated initialisation may lead to a crash or resource leak. This adds that test.

commit f12f98dba6ea1517cd7fbb912208893b9c014c15 upstream. cifs_from_ucs2 returns the length of the converted name, including the length of the NULL terminator. We don't want to include the NULL terminator in the dentry name length however since that'll throw off the hash calculation for the dentry cache.

commit ddeee0b2eec2a51b0712b04de4b39e7bec892a53 upstream USB: usbfs: properly clean up the as structure on error paths I notice that the processcompl_compat() function seems to be leaking the 'struct async *as' in the error paths. I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The caller is the one that did the "reap_as()" to get the as thing, the caller should be the one to free it too. Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets freed, and avoids the need for any "free in the error case too".

2010-04-01Fix race in tty_fasync() properlyLinus Torvalds
commit 80e1e823989ec44d8e35bdfddadbddcffec90424 upstream. This reverts commit 703625118069 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and commit b04da8bfdfbb ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/ restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete. It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling __f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering. Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running lockdep to show the problem. It goes roughly like this: - f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock. - at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that commit 703625118069 introduced, together with the pre-existing sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock dependency the other way too. So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call, we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown. That still guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all we really ever needed.
