af_iucv: avoid path quiesce of severed path in shutdown()

2014-07-22T03:21:40+00:00

An af_iucv stress test showed -EPIPE results for sendmsg() calls. They are caused by quiescing a path even though it has been already severed by peer. For IUCV transport shutdown() consists of 2 steps: (1) sending the shutdown message to peer (2) quiescing the iucv path If the iucv path between these 2 steps is severed due to peer closing the path, the quiesce step is no longer needed.

af_iucv: correct cleanup if listen backlog is full

2014-05-31T00:35:23+00:00

In case of transport HIPER a sock struct is allocated for an incoming connect request. If the backlog queue is full this socket is not needed, but is left in the list of af_iucv sockets. Final socket release posts console message "Attempt to release alive iucv socket". This patch makes sure the new created socket is cleaned up correctly if the backlog queue is full.

af_iucv: Add automatic (source) iucv_name to bind

2014-05-31T00:35:23+00:00

If a socket is bound to an address using before calling connect it is usual to leave it to the network system to choose an appropriate outgoing application name respective port address. af_iucv on VM uses a counter and uses simple numbers as unique identifiers. This behaviour was missing when af_iucv is used with HiperSockets. This patch contains a simple approach to harmonize af_iucv's behaviour.

af_iucv: wrong mapping of sent and confirmed skbs

2014-05-14T19:38:39+00:00

When sending data through IUCV a MESSAGE COMPLETE interrupt signals that sent data memory can be freed or reused again. With commit f9c41a62bba3f3f7ef3541b2a025e3371bcbba97 "af_iucv: fix recvmsg by replacing skb_pull() function" the MESSAGE COMPLETE callback iucv_callback_txdone() identifies the wrong skb as being confirmed, which leads to data corruption. This patch fixes the skb mapping logic in iucv_callback_txdone(). Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun Signed-off-by: Frank Blaschka Cc: Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.

2014-04-11T20:15:36+00:00

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this issue tree-wide. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

s390/irq: Use defines for external interruption codes

2014-04-03T12:30:52+00:00

Use the new defines for external interruption codes to get rid of "magic" numbers in the s390 source code. And while we're at it, also rename the (un-)register_external_interrupt function to something shorter so that this patch does not exceed the 80 columns all over the place.

net/iucv/iucv.c: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration

2014-03-20T12:43:48+00:00

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the code in net/iucv/iucv.c by using this latter form of callback registration. Also, provide helper functions to perform the common memory allocations and frees, to condense repetitive code. Cc: Ursula Braun Cc: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.
