net: force a reload of first item in hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu

2013-06-27T17:34:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit c87a124a5d5e8cf8e21c4363c3372bcaf53ea190 ] Roman Gushchin discovered that udp4_lib_lookup2() was not reloading first item in the rcu protected list, in case the loop was restarted. This produced soft lockups as in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/16/37 rcu_dereference(X)/ACCESS_ONCE(X) seem to not work as intended if X is ptr->field : In some cases, gcc caches the value or ptr->field in a register. Use a barrier() to disallow such caching, as documented in Documentation/atomic_ops.txt line 114 Thanks a lot to Roman for providing analysis and numerous patches.

net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in send(m)msg and recv(m)msg

2013-06-27T17:34:32+00:00

So don't allow it from a non-compat syscall. This prevents an oops when running this code: int main() { int s; struct sockaddr_in addr; struct msghdr *hdr; char *highpage = mmap((void*)(TASK_SIZE_MAX - 4096), 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (highpage == MAP_FAILED) err(1, "mmap"); s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP); if (s == -1) err(1, "socket"); addr.sin_family = AF_INET; addr.sin_port = htons(1); addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK); if (connect(s, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr)) != 0) err(1, "connect"); void *evil = highpage + 4096 - COMPAT_MSGHDR_SIZE; printf("Evil address is %p\n", evil); if (syscall(__NR_sendmmsg, s, evil, 1, MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) < 0) err(1, "sendmmsg"); return 0; } Cc: David S.

mm: migration: add migrate_entry_wait_huge()

2013-06-20T18:28:20+00:00

commit 30dad30922ccc733cfdbfe232090cf674dc374dc upstream. When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally experience long delay or soft lockup. This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()

2013-06-07T19:46:36+00:00

commit 4c663cfc523a88d97a8309b04a089c27dc57fd7e upstream. Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout elapses. However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed. If the wake-up handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the condition became true before the timeout has passed. Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true. This semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious failure under heavy load"). Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915. One case even where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same semantics. I very much like this."

macvlan: fix passthru mode race between dev removal and rx path

2013-05-19T17:04:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 233c7df0821c4190e2d3f4be0f2ca0ab40a5ed8c, note that I had to add list_first_or_null_rcu to rculist.h in order to accomodate this fix. ] Currently, if macvlan in passthru mode is created and data are rxed and you remove this device, following panic happens: NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000198 IP: [] macvlan_handle_frame+0x153/0x1f7 [macvlan] I'm using following script to trigger this: I run this script while "ping -f" is running on another machine to send packets to e1 rx. Reason of the panic is that list_first_entry() is blindly called in macvlan_handle_frame() even if the list was empty. vlan is set to incorrect pointer which leads to the crash. I'm fixing this by protecting port->vlans list by rcu and by preventing from getting incorrect pointer in case the list is empty.

ipc: sysv shared memory limited to 8TiB

commit d69f3bad4675ac519d41ca2b11e1c00ca115cecd upstream. Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB. By setting kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work.

net: fix incorrect credentials passing

Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong uid/gid ends up being used.

netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset()

2013-05-01T15:56:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 124dff01afbdbff251f0385beca84ba1b9adda68 ] Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly.

2013-05-01T15:56:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4543fbefe6e06a9e40d9f2b28d688393a299f079 ] A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after the first device/call. Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all unsync calls to work. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
