mm: replace get_user_pages() write/force parameters with gup_flags

2018-12-17T20:55:16+00:00

commit 768ae309a96103ed02eb1e111e838c87854d8b51 upstream. This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

IB/ehca: fix maybe-uninitialized warnings

2017-05-08T05:46:02+00:00

The driver causes two warnings about possibly uninitialized variables: drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c: In function 'ehca_set_pagebuf': drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:1908:4: warning: 'prev_pgaddr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:1924:14: note: 'prev_pgaddr' was declared here drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c: In function 'ehca_reg_mr': drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:2430:5: warning: 'hret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] The first one is definitely a false positive, the second one may or may not be one. In both cases, adding an intialization is the safe and easy workaround. The driver was removed in mainline in commit e581d111dad3 ("staging/rdma: remove deprecated ehca driver"), in linux-4.6. In 4.4, the file is located in drivers/staging/rdma/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c, and the fix still applies. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ipath: Restrict use of the write() interface

2016-08-16T07:30:48+00:00

Commit e6bd18f57aad ("IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface") fixed a security problem with various write() implementations in the Infiniband subsystem. In older kernel versions the ipath_write() function has the same problem and needs the same restriction. (The ipath driver has been completely removed upstream.)

IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface

2016-05-04T21:48:48+00:00

commit e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3 upstream. The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for bi-directional ioctl(). This is not safe. There are ways to trigger write calls that result in the return structure that is normally written to user space being shunted off to user specified kernel memory instead. For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to the write API. For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities (likely a structured ioctl() interface). The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.

mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.
