2009-11-09Driver core: fix driver_register() return valueStas Sergeev
commit 39acbc12affcaa23ef1d887ba3d197baca8e6e47 upstream. In this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16dc42e018c2868211b4928f20a957c0c216126c the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the -EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying to register for the same device. Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

2009-11-09hfsplus: refuse to mount volumes larger than 2TBBen Hutchings
commit 5c36fe3d87b3f0c85894a49193c66096a3d6b26f upstream. As found in <http://bugs.debian.org/550010>, hfsplus is using type u32 rather than sector_t for some sector number calculations. In particular, hfsplus_get_block() does: u32 ablock, dblock, mask; ... map_bh(bh_result, sb, (dblock << HFSPLUS_SB(sb).fs_shift) + HFSPLUS_SB(sb).blockoffset + (iblock & mask)); I am not confident that I can find and fix all cases where a sector number may be truncated. For now, avoid data loss by refusing to mount HFS+ volumes with more than 2^32 sectors (2TB).

2009-11-09dm snapshot: sort by chunk size to fix raceMikulas Patocka
commit 6d45d93ead319423099b82a4efd775bc0f159121 upstream. Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk size, largest first. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659 For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has large chunk size. Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots: snapshot1: ====A==== ====B==== snapshot2: ==========C========== (Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.) A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them together using A as the 'primary' exception. Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and C. It creates pending exception for B. C already has a reallocation in progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done to it: B and C are not linked. If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2. To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending order of chunk size. This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above - both A and B now get linked to C.

[ Upstream commit 09d3f3f0e02c8a900d076c302c5c02227f33572d ] Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it in any situation. Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary. If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us.

2009-11-09futex: Fix spurious wakeup for requeue_pi reallyThomas Gleixner
commit 11df6dddcbc38affb7473aad3d962baf8414a947 upstream. The requeue_pi path doesn't use unqueue_me() (and the racy lock_ptr == NULL test) nor does it use the wake_list of futex_wake() which where the reason for commit 41890f2 (futex: Handle spurious wake up) See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com> The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns correctly EWOULDBLOCK. Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let it deal with the spurious wakeup.

2009-11-09futex: Move drop_futex_key_refs out of spinlock'ed regionDarren Hart
commit 89061d3d58e1f0742139605dc6a7950aa1ecc019 upstream. When requeuing tasks from one futex to another, the reference held by the requeued task to the original futex location needs to be dropped eventually. Dropping the reference may ultimately lead to a call to "iput_final" and subsequently call into filesystem- specific code - which may be non-atomic. It is therefore safer to defer this drop operation until after the futex_hash_bucket spinlock has been dropped.

2009-11-09futex: Handle spurious wake upThomas Gleixner
commit d58e6576b0deec6f0b9ff8450fe282da18c50883 upstream. The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and futex_wait_requeue_pi. The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake / requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one of the syscall restart error codes. In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in spurious wake up accelerator :) Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

2009-11-09libata: fix PMP initializationTejun Heo
commit 4f7c2874995ac48a4622755b8bd159eb2fb6d8f4 upstream. Commit 842faa6c1a1d6faddf3377948e5cf214812c6c90 fixed error handling during attach by not committing detected device class to dev->class while attaching a new device. However, this change missed the PMP class check in the configuration loop causing a new PMP device to go through ata_dev_configure() as if it were an ATA or ATAPI device. As PMP device doesn't have a regular IDENTIFY data, this makes ata_dev_configure() tries to configure a PMP device using an invalid data. For the most part, it wasn't too harmful and went unnoticed but this ends up clearing dev->flags which may have ATA_DFLAG_AN set by sata_pmp_attach(). This means that SATA_PMP_FEAT_NOTIFY ends up being disabled on PMPs and on PMPs which honor the flag breaks hotplug support. This problem was discovered and reported by Ethan Hsiao.

commit f4b31db92d163df8a639f5a8c8633bdeb6e8432d upstream. When an internal command fails, it should be failed directly without invoking EH. In the original implemetation, this was accomplished by letting internal command bypass failure handling in ata_qc_complete(). However, later changes added post-successful-completion handling to that code path and the success path is no longer adequate as internal command failure path. One of the visible problems is that internal command failure due to timeout or other freeze conditions would spuriously trigger WARN_ON_ONCE() in the success path. This patch updates failure path such that internal command failure handling is contained there.

2009-11-09pci: increase alignment to make more space for hidden codeYinghai Lu
commit 15b812f1d0a5ca8f5efe7f5882f468af10682ca8 upstream. As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940 on some system when acpi are enabled, acpi clears some BAR for some devices without reason, and kernel will need to allocate devices for them. It then apparently hits some undocumented resource conflict, resulting in non-working devices. Try to increase alignment to get more safe range for unassigned devices.

2009-11-09fs: pipe.c null pointer dereferenceEarl Chew
commit ad3960243e55320d74195fb85c975e0a8cc4466c upstream. This patch fixes a null pointer exception in pipe_rdwr_open() which generates the stack trace: > Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 RIP: > [<ffffffff802899a5>] pipe_rdwr_open+0x35/0x70 > [<ffffffff8028125c>] __dentry_open+0x13c/0x230 > [<ffffffff8028143d>] do_filp_open+0x2d/0x40 > [<ffffffff802814aa>] do_sys_open+0x5a/0x100 > [<ffffffff8021faf3>] sysenter_do_call+0x1b/0x67 The failure mode is triggered by an attempt to open an anonymous pipe via /proc/pid/fd/* as exemplified by this script: ============================================================= while : ; do { echo y ; sleep 1 ; } | { while read ; do echo z$REPLY; done ; } & PID=$! OUT=$(ps -efl | grep 'sleep 1' | grep -v grep | { read PID REST ; echo $PID; } ) OUT="${OUT%% *}" DELAY=$((RANDOM * 1000 / 32768)) usleep $((DELAY * 1000 + RANDOM % 1000 )) echo n > /proc/$OUT/fd/1 # Trigger defect done ============================================================= Note that the failure window is quite small and I could only reliably reproduce the defect by inserting a small delay in pipe_rdwr_open(). For example: static int pipe_rdwr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) { msleep(100); mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex); Although the defect was observed in pipe_rdwr_open(), I think it makes sense to replicate the change through all the pipe_*_open() functions. The core of the change is to verify that inode->i_pipe has not been released before attempting to manipulate it. If inode->i_pipe is no longer present, return ENOENT to indicate so. The comment about potentially using atomic_t for i_pipe->readers and i_pipe->writers has also been removed because it is no longer relevant in this context. The inode->i_mutex lock must be used so that inode->i_pipe can be dealt with correctly.

2009-10-22tty: Make flush_to_ldisc() locking more robustLinus Torvalds
commit c8e33141911bf8fe87dc6c92793b9a59b2be0130 upstream. The locking logic in this function is extremely subtle, and it broke when we started doing potentially concurrent 'flush_to_ldisc()' calls in commit e043e42bdb66885b3ac10d27a01ccb9972e2b0a3 ("pty: avoid forcing 'low_latency' tty flag"). The code in flush_to_ldisc() used to set 'tty->buf.head' to NULL, with the intention that this would then cause any other concurrent calls to not do anything (locking note: we have to drop the buf.lock over the call to ->receive_buf that can block, which is why we can have concurrency here at all in the first place). It also used to set the TTY_FLUSHING bit, which would then cause any concurrent 'tty_buffer_flush()' to not free all the tty buffers and clear 'tty->buf.tail'. And with 'buf.head' being NULL, and 'buf.tail' being non-NULL, new data would never touch 'buf.head'. Does that sound a bit too subtle? It was. If another concurrent call to 'flush_to_ldisc()' were to come in, the NULL buf.head would indeed cause it to not process the buffer list, but it would still clear TTY_FLUSHING afterwards, making the buffer protection against 'tty_buffer_flush()' no longer work. So this clears it all up. We depend purely on TTY_FLUSHING for handling re-entrancy, and stop playing games with the buffer list entirely. In fact, the buffer list handling is now robust enough that we could probably stop doing the whole "protect against 'tty_buffer_flush()'" thing entirely. However, Alan also points out that we would probably be better off simplifying the locking even further, and just take the tty ldisc_mutex around all the buffer flushing calls. That seems like a good idea, but in the meantime this is a conceptually minimal fix (with the patch itself being bigger than required just to clean the code up and make it readable).

2009-10-22mac80211: fix vlan and optimise RXJohannes Berg
commit fbc44bf7177dfd61381da55405550b693943a432 upstream. When receiving data frames, we can send them only to the interface they belong to based on transmitting station (this doesn't work for probe requests). Also, don't try to handle other frames for AP_VLAN at all since those interface should only receive data. Additionally, the transmit side must check that the station we're sending a frame to is actually on the interface we're transmitting on, and not transmit packets to functions that live on other interfaces, so validate that as well. Another bug fix is needed in sta_info.c where in the VLAN case when adding/removing stations we overwrite the sdata variable we still need.

2009-10-22iwlwifi: incorrect method used for finding valid OTP blocksJay Sternberg
commit 2facba769d7f9e563cf706de709074a2d20f1bba upstream. The address stored in the next link address is a word address but when reading the OTP blocks, a byte address is used. Also if the blocks are full and the last link pointer is not zero, then none of the blocks are valid so return an error. The algorithm is simply valid blocks have a next address and that address's contents is zero. Using the wrong address for the next link address gets arbitrary data, obviously. In cases seen, the first block is considered valid when it is not. If the block has in fact been invalidated there may be old data or there may be no data, bad data, or partial data, there is no way of telling. Without this patch it is possible that a device with valid OTP data is unable to work.

commit b8430e1b82b7e514d76a88eb70a7d8831d50df1e upstream. usb-storage: Workaround devices with bogus sense size Some devices, such as Huawei E169, advertise more than the standard amount of sense data, causing us to set US_FL_SANE_SENSE, assuming they support it. However, they subsequently fail the request sense with that size. This works around it generically. When a sense request fails due to a device returning an error, US_FL_SANE_SENSE was set, and that sense request used a larger sense size, we retry with a smaller size before giving up.

2009-10-22sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context.Neil Brown
commit 83db93f4de2d9ae441a491d1dc61c2204f0195de upstream. sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute. Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with interrupts enabled. So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts, thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout). sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq. Other places use spin_lock_irqsave. The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more recent kernels.

2009-10-22bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting fileMichal Schmidt
commit d8e180dcd5bbbab9cd3ff2e779efcf70692ef541 upstream. When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to the account file. In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log. SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs. So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because someone enabled process accounting. For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting, because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting information logged.
