xen/pcifront: Fix mysterious crashes when NUMA locality information was extracted.

2016-03-03T23:06:54+00:00

commit 4d8c8bd6f2062c9988817183a91fe2e623c8aa5e upstream.

However in the pci_device_add it expects that the 'sd' is 'struct sysdata' and sets the dev->node to what is in sd->node (offset 4): set_dev_node(&dev->dev, pcibus_to_node(bus)); __pcibus_to_node(const struct pci_bus *bus) { const struct pci_sysdata *sd = bus->sysdata; return sd->node; } However our structure was pcifront_sd which had nothing at that offset: struct pcifront_sd { int domain; /* 0 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct pcifront_device * pdev; /* 8 8 */ } That is an hole - filled with garbage as we used kmalloc instead of kzalloc (the second problem). This patch fixes the issue by: 1) Use kzalloc to initialize to a well known state. 2) Put 'struct pci_sysdata' at the start of 'pcifront_sd'. That way access to the 'node' will access the right offset. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

do_last(): don't let a bogus return value from ->open() et.al. to confuse us

kernel/resource.c: fix muxed resource handling in __request_region()

2016-03-03T23:06:53+00:00

commit 59ceeaaf355fa0fb16558ef7c24413c804932ada upstream. In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be released. A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept. At wake-up this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region. A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for example the conflicting resource have already been freed). Another problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a remaining conflict. The previously conflicting resource is passed as a parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the children of this resource and not at the resource itself. It is likely to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict. Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to __request_region(). As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.

sunrpc/cache: fix off-by-one in qword_get()

2016-03-03T23:06:53+00:00

commit b7052cd7bcf3c1478796e93e3dff2b44c9e82943 upstream. The qword_get() function NUL-terminates its output buffer. If the input string is in hex format \xXXXX... and the same length as the output buffer, there is an off-by-one: int qword_get(char **bpp, char *dest, int bufsize) { ... while (len < bufsize) { ... *dest++ = (h << 4) | l; len++; } ... *dest = '\0'; return len; } This patch ensures the NUL terminator doesn't fall outside the output buffer.

tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events

2016-03-03T23:06:53+00:00

commit d045437a169f899dfb0f6f7ede24cc042543ced9 upstream. The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an "enable" file in its event directory. Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where it was not compatible for. Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory, which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event. One documented way to enable all events is to: cat available_events > set_event But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this now causes an INVALID error: cat: write error: Invalid argument Reported-by: Chunyu Hu Fixes: 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

NFSv4: Fix a dentry leak on alias use

commit d9dfd8d741683347ee159d25f5b50c346a0df557 upstream. In the case where d_add_unique() finds an appropriate alias to use it will have already incremented the reference count. An additional dget() to swap the open context's dentry is unnecessary and will leak a reference.
