commit f8be156be163a052a067306417cd0ff679068c97 upstream.

It's possible to create a region which maps valid but non-refcounted
pages (e.g., tail pages of non-compound higher order allocations). These
host pages can then be returned by gfn_to_page, gfn_to_pfn, etc., family
of APIs, which take a reference to the page, which takes it from 0 to 1.
When the reference is dropped, this will free the page incorrectly.

Fix this by only taking a reference on valid pages if it was non-zero,
which indicates it is participating in normal refcounting (and can be
released with put_page).

This addresses CVE-2021-22543.

<title>KVM: Use kvm_pfn_t for local PFN variable in hva_to_pfn_remapped()</title>

commit a9545779ee9e9e103648f6f2552e73cfe808d0f4 upstream.

Use kvm_pfn_t, a.k.a. u64, for the local 'pfn' variable when retrieving
a so called "remapped" hva/pfn pair.  In theory, the hva could resolve to
a pfn in high memory on a 32-bit kernel.

This bug was inadvertantly exposed by commit bd2fae8da794 ("KVM: do not
assume PTE is writable after follow_pfn"), which added an error PFN value
to the mix, causing gcc to comlain about overflowing the unsigned long.

  arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: In function ‘hva_to_pfn_remapped’:
  include/linux/kvm_host.h:89:30: error: conversion from ‘long long unsigned int’

commit bd2fae8da794b55bf2ac02632da3a151b10e664c upstream.

In order to convert an HVA to a PFN, KVM usually tries to use
the get_user_pages family of functinso.  This however is not
possible for VM_IO vmas; in that case, KVM instead uses follow_pfn.

In doing this however KVM loses the information on whether the
PFN is writable.  That is usually not a problem because the main
use of VM_IO vmas with KVM is for BARs in PCI device assignment,
however it is a bug.  To fix it, use follow_pte and check pte_write
while under the protection of the PTE lock.  The information can
be used to fail hva_to_pfn_remapped or passed back to the
caller via *writable.

Usage of follow_pfn was introduced in commit add6a0cd1c5b ("KVM: MMU: try to fix
up page faults before giving up", 2016-07-05); however, even older version
have the same issue, all the way back to commit 2e2e3738af33 ("KVM:
Handle vma regions with no backing page", 2008-07-20), as they also did
not check whether the PFN was writable.

commit 097963959594c5eccaba42510f7033f703211bda upstream.

Patch series "Write protect DAX PMDs in *sync path".

Currently dax_mapping_entry_mkclean() fails to clean and write protect
the pmd_t of a DAX PMD entry during an *sync operation.  This can result
in data loss, as detailed in patch 2.

This series is based on Dan's "libnvdimm-pending" branch, which is the
current home for Jan's "dax: Page invalidation fixes" series.  You can
find a working tree here:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/zwisler/linux.git/log/?h=dax_pmd_clean

This patch (of 2):

Similar to follow_pte(), follow_pte_pmd() allows either a PTE leaf or a
huge page PMD leaf to be found and returned.

commit 511885d7061eda3eb1faf3f57dcc936ff75863f1 upstream.

Simplify the timerqueue code by using cached rbtrees and rely on the tree
leftmost node semantics to get the timer with earliest expiration time.
This is a drop in conversion, and therefore semantics remain untouched.

The runtime overhead of cached rbtrees is be pretty much the same as the
current head-&gt;next method, noting that when removing the leftmost node,
a common operation for the timerqueue, the rb_next(leftmost) is O(1) as
well, so the next timer will either be the right node or its parent.
Therefore no extra pointer chasing. Finally, the size of the struct
timerqueue_head remains the same.

Passes several hours of rcutorture.

commit cd9e61ed1eebbcd5dfad59475d41ec58d9b64b6a upstream.

Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4.

A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such
that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree
users[1].  The benefits of this series are that:

(i)   Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching.
(ii)  Optimize all interval tree users.
(iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface.

This patch (of 16):

Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or
equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right,
respectively.  For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering
our rb_first() semantics.  Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the
tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down
the tree each time.  To this end there are a few core users that
explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes.  There is also
the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster
overlap checking.

This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the
root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node.  The reason why the
regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was
that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint
and actual tree performance.  The new wrappers on top of the regular
rb_root calls are:

 - rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement
     for rb_first.

 - rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new)

 - rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root)

In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic
insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the
interval tree changes.

With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the
new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same.  To this end, porting rb
users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current
rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization
requires zero overhead.

<title>cipso,calipso: resolve a number of problems with the DOI refcounts</title>

commit ad5d07f4a9cd671233ae20983848874731102c08 upstream.

The current CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting scheme for the DOI
definitions is a bit flawed in that we:

1. Don't correctly match gets/puts in netlbl_cipsov4_list().
2. Decrement the refcount on each attempt to remove the DOI from the
   DOI list, only removing it from the list once the refcount drops
   to zero.

This patch fixes these problems by adding the missing "puts" to
netlbl_cipsov4_list() and introduces a more conventional, i.e.
not-buggy, refcounting mechanism to the DOI definitions.  Upon the
addition of a DOI to the DOI list, it is initialized with a refcount
of one, removing a DOI from the list removes it from the list and
drops the refcount by one; "gets" and "puts" behave as expected with
respect to refcounts, increasing and decreasing the DOI's refcount by
one.

Fixes: b1edeb102397 ("netlabel: Replace protocol/NetLabel linking with refrerence counts")
Fixes: d7cce01504a0 ("netlabel: Add support for removing a CALIPSO DOI.")

commit d8861bab48b6c1fc3cdbcab8ff9d1eaea43afe7f upstream.

When using jumbo packets and overrunning rx queue with napi enabled,
the following sequence is observed in gfar_add_rx_frag:

   | lstatus                              |       | skb                   |

05 | 18002348, 9032, INTERRUPT LAST       | 0     | 8000, 6400,  c5a57780 |
04 | 10000640, 1600, INTERRUPT            | 0     | 6400, 4800,  c5a57780 |
03 | 10000640, 1600, INTERRUPT            | 0     | 4800, 3200,  c5a57780 |
02 | 10000640, 1600, INTERRUPT            | 0     | 3200, 1600,  c5a57780 |
01 | 10000640, 1600, INTERRUPT            | 0     | 1600, 0,     c5a57780 |
00 | 14000640, 1600, INTERRUPT FIRST      | 1     | 0,    0,     c5a57780 |

So at t=7 a new packets is started but not finished, probably due to rx
overrun - but rx overrun is not indicated in the flags. Instead a new
packets starts at t=8. This results in skb-&gt;len to exceed size for the LAST
fragment at t=13 and thus a negative fragment size added to the skb.

This then crashes:

This patch fixes this by checking for computed LAST fragment size, so a
negative sized fragment is never added.
In order to prevent the newer rx frame from getting corrupted, the FIRST
flag is checked to discard the incomplete older frame.

commit d903ec77118c09f93a610b384d83a6df33a64fe6 upstream.

Previously, buffer descriptors containing only the frame check sequence
(FCS) were skipped and not added to the skb. However, the page reference
count was still incremented, leading to a memory leak.

Fixing this inside gfar_add_rx_frag() is difficult due to reserved
memory handling and page reuse. Instead, move the FCS handling to
gfar_process_frame() and trim off the FCS before passing the skb up the
networking stack.
