Flush workqueue before releasing bioset and mopools in dm-crypt. There can
be finished but not yet released request.
Call chain causing oops:
run workqueue
dec_pending
bio_endio(...);
<remove device request - remove mempool>
mempool_free(io, cc->io_pool);
This usually happens when cryptsetup create temporary
luks mapping in the beggining of crypt device activation.
When dm-core calls destructor crypt_dtr, no new request
are possible.

The fourth argument of sys_futex is ignored when op == FUTEX_WAKE_OP,

When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the segment is
already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the
subsequent code leaks the existing user struct:
== ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() ==
...
err = shmem_lock(shp->shm_file, 1, user);
if (!err) {
shp->shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED;
shp->mlock_user = user;
}
...
==
Other results of this are:
1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed
memory when the task dies.
2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs.
The exploit looks like this:
==
id = shmget(...);
setresuid(uid, 0, 0);
shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL);
setresuid(uid + 1, 0, 0);
shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL);
==
My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the
segment's user.

Is there a reason why the "online" file in the subdirectories for the CPUs
in /sys/devices/system isn't world-readable? I cannot imagine it to be
security relevant especially now that a getcpu() syscall can be used to
determine what CPUa thread runs on.
The file is useful to correctly implement the sysconf() function to return
the number of online CPUs. In the presence of hotplug we currently cannot
provide this information. The patch below should to it.

The VBI DMA is handled in a special way and is marked with a bit.
However, that bit was set at the wrong time and could be cleared
by mistake if a PCM (or other) DMA request would arrive before the
VBI DMA was completed. So on completion of the VBI DMA the driver
no longer knew that that DMA transfer was for VBI data. And this
in turn caused havoc with the card's DMA engine.

Davi fixed a missing cast in the __put_user(), that was making timerfd
return a single byte instead of the full value.
Talking with Michael about the timerfd man page, we think it'd be better to
use a u64 for the returned value, to align it with the eventfd
implementation.
This is an ABI change. The timerfd code is new in 2.6.22 and if we merge this
into 2.6.23 then we should also merge it into 2.6.22.x. That will leave a few
early 2.6.22 kernels out in the wild which might misbehave when a future
timerfd-enabled glibc is run on them.
mtk says:
The difference would be that read() will only return 4 bytes,
while the application will expect 8. If the application is
checking the size of returned value, as it should, then it will
be able to detect the problem (it could even be sophisticated
enough to know that if this is a 4-byte return, then it is
running on an old 2.6.22 kernel). If the application is not
checking the return from read(), then its 8-byte buffer will not
be filled -- the contents of the last 4 bytes will be undefined,
so the u64 value as a whole will be junk.
When I wrote up that description above, I forgot a crucial
detail. The above description described the difference between
the new behavior implemented by the patch, and the current
(i.e., 2.6.22) *intended* behavior. However, as I originally
remarked to Davide, the 2.6.22 read() behavior is broken: it
should return 4 bytes on a read(), but as originally
implemented, only the least significant byte contained valid
information. (In other words, the top 3 bytes of overrun
information were simply being discarded.)
So the patch both fixes a bug in the originally intended
behavior, and changes the intended behavior (to return 8 bytes
from a read() instead of 4).

As far as I know, all CardBus FireWire 400 adapters have a maximum
payload of 1024 bytes which is less than the speed-dependent limit of
2048 bytes. Fw-sbp2 has to take the host adapter's limit into account.
This apparently fixes Juju's incompatibility with my CardBus cards, a
NEC based card and a VIA based card.

ata_tf_read was setting HOB bit when lba48 command was submitted, but
was not clearing it before reading "normal" data. As it is only place
which sets HOB bit in control register, and register reads should not

reading upper bytes so non-48bit commands do not have to touch ctl
at all.

This patch (as937) fixes a minor bug in the autosuspend usage-counting
code. Each hub's usage counter keeps track of the number of
unsuspended children. However the current driver increments the
counter after registering a new child, by which time the child may
already have been suspended and caused the counter to go negative.
The obvious solution is to increment the counter before registering
the child.

[SPARC32]: Fix rounding errors in ndelay/udelay implementation.
__ndelay and __udelay have not been delayung >= specified time.
The problem with __ndelay has been tacked down to the rounding of the
multiplier constant. By changing this, delays > app 18us are correctly
calculated.
The problem with __udelay has also been tracked down to rounding issues.
Changing the multiplier constant (to match that used in sparc64) corrects
for large delays and adding in a rounding constant corrects for trunctaion
errors in the claculations.
Many short delays will return without looping. This is not an error as there
is the fixed delay of doing all the maths to calculate the loop count.

This code should write byte every loop iteration, but last time delay

[NETPOLL]: Fix a leak-n-bug in netpoll_cleanup()
93ec2c723e3f8a216dde2899aeb85c648672bc6b applied excessive duct tape to
the netpoll beast's netpoll_cleanup(), thus substituting one leak with
another, and opening up a little buglet :-)
net_device->npinfo (netpoll_info) is a shared and refcounted object and
cannot simply be set NULL the first time netpoll_cleanup() is called.
Otherwise, further netpoll_cleanup()'s see np->dev->npinfo == NULL and
become no-ops, thus leaking. And it's a bug too: the first call to
netpoll_cleanup() would thus (annoyingly) "disable" other (still alive)
netpolls too. Maybe nobody noticed this because netconsole (only user
of netpoll) never supported multiple netpoll objects earlier.
This is a trivial and obvious one-line fixlet.

[IPV6]: MSG_ERRQUEUE messages do not pass to connected raw sockets
From: Dmitry Butskoy <dmitry@butskoy.name>
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8747
Problem Description:
It is related to the possibility to obtain MSG_ERRQUEUE messages from the udp
and raw sockets, both connected and unconnected.
There is a little typo in net/ipv6/icmp.c code, which prevents such messages
to be delivered to the errqueue of the correspond raw socket, when the socket
is CONNECTED. The typo is due to swap of local/remote addresses.
Consider __raw_v6_lookup() function from net/ipv6/raw.c. When a raw socket is
looked up usual way, it is something like:
sk = __raw_v6_lookup(sk, nexthdr, daddr, saddr, IP6CB(skb)->iif);
where "daddr" is a destination address of the incoming packet (IOW our local
address), "saddr" is a source address of the incoming packet (the remote end).
But when the raw socket is looked up for some icmp error report, in
net/ipv6/icmp.c:icmpv6_notify() , daddr/saddr are obtained from the echoed
fragment of the "bad" packet, i.e. "daddr" is the original destination
address of that packet, "saddr" is our local address. Hence, for
icmpv6_notify() must use "saddr, daddr" in its arguments, not "daddr, saddr"
...
Steps to reproduce:
Create some raw socket, connect it to an address, and cause some error
situation: f.e. set ttl=1 where the remote address is more than 1 hop to reach.
Set IPV6_RECVERR .
Then send something and wait for the error (f.e. poll() with POLLERR|POLLIN).
You should receive "time exceeded" icmp message (because of "ttl=1"), but the
socket do not receive it.
If you do not connect your raw socket, you will receive MSG_ERRQUEUE
successfully. (The reason is that for unconnected socket there are no actual
checks for local/remote addresses).

[NET]: gen_estimator deadlock fix

To fix the ABBA deadlock the rate estimators are now kept on an rcu list.
-The est_lock changes the use from protecting the list to protecting
the update to the 'bstat' pointer in order to avoid NULL dereferencing.
-The 'interval' member of the gen_estimator structure removed as it is
not needed.

[RFKILL]: fix net/rfkill/rfkill-input.c bug on 64-bit systems
Subject: [patch] net/input: fix net/rfkill/rfkill-input.c bug on 64-bit systems
this recent commit:
commit cf4328cd949c2086091c62c5685f1580fe9b55e4
Author: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com>
Date: Mon May 7 00:34:20 2007 -0700
[NET]: rfkill: add support for input key to control wireless radio
added this 64-bit bug:
....
unsigned int flags;
spin_lock_irqsave(&task->lock, flags);
....
irq 'flags' must be unsigned long, not unsigned int. The -rt tree has
strict checks about this on 64-bit so this triggered a build failure.

SCTP: Add scope_id validation for link-local binds
SCTP currently permits users to bind to link-local addresses,
but doesn't verify that the scope id specified at bind matches
the interface that the address is configured on. It was report
that this can hang a system.

This is commit c1e6f28cc5de37dcd113b9668a185c0b9334ba8a which is
merged during 23-rc1 window. Considering the popularity of these
chips, I think including it in -stable release would be good idea.

[XFRM]: Fix crash introduced by struct dst_entry reordering
XFRM expects xfrm_dst->u.next to be same pointer as dst->next, which
was broken by the dst_entry reordering in commit 1e19e02c~, causing
an oops in xfrm_bundle_ok when walking the bundle upwards.
Kill xfrm_dst->u.next and change the only user to use dst->next instead.

[NET_SCHED]: Revert "avoid transmit softirq on watchdog wakeup" optimization
As noticed by Ranko Zivojnovic <ranko@spidernet.net>, calling qdisc_run
from the timer handler can result in deadlock:
> CPU#0
>
> qdisc_watchdog() fires and gets dev->queue_lock
> qdisc_run()...qdisc_restart()...
> -> releases dev->queue_lock and enters dev_hard_start_xmit()
>
> CPU#1
>
> tc del qdisc dev ...
> qdisc_graft()...dev_graft_qdisc()...dev_deactivate()...
> -> grabs dev->queue_lock ...
>
> qdisc_reset()...{cbq,hfsc,htb,netem,tbf}_reset()...qdisc_watchdog_cancel()...
> -> hrtimer_cancel() - waiting for the qdisc_watchdog() to exit, while still
> holding dev->queue_lock
>
> CPU#0
>
> dev_hard_start_xmit() returns ...
> -> wants to get dev->queue_lock(!)
>
> DEADLOCK!
The entire optimization is a bit questionable IMO, it moves potentially
large parts of NET_TX_SOFTIRQ work to TIMER_SOFTIRQ/HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ,
which kind of defeats the separation of them.

This patch (as950) fixes a bug in the cdc-acm driver. It doesn't keep
track of which interface (control or data) the sysfs attributes get
registered for, and as a result, during disconnect it will sometimes
attempt to remove the attributes from the wrong interface. The
left-over attributes can cause a crash later on, particularly if the driver
module has been unloaded.

dereference (CVE-2007-2876)
When creating a new connection by sending an unknown chunk type, we
don't transition to a valid state, causing a NULL pointer dereference in
sctp_packet when accessing sctp_timeouts[SCTP_CONNTRACK_NONE].
Fix by don't creating new conntrack entry if initial state is invalid.
