mm: get rid of vmacache_flush_all() entirely

2018-09-26T06:33:55+00:00

commit 7a9cdebdcc17e426fb5287e4a82db1dfe86339b2 upstream. Jann Horn points out that the vmacache_flush_all() function is not only potentially expensive, it's buggy too. It also happens to be entirely unnecessary, because the sequence number overflow case can be avoided by simply making the sequence number be 64-bit. That doesn't even grow the data structures in question, because the other adjacent fields are already 64-bit. So simplify the whole thing by just making the sequence number overflow case go away entirely, which gets rid of all the complications and makes the code faster too. Win-win.

ring_buffer: tracing: Inherit the tracing setting to next ring buffer

2018-08-09T10:20:36+00:00

commit 73c8d8945505acdcbae137c2e00a1232e0be709f upstream. Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching to the trace buffer snapshot. Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer (max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

net: Don't copy pfmemalloc flag in __copy_skb_header()

2018-07-28T05:43:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8b7008620b8452728cadead460a36f64ed78c460 ] The pfmemalloc flag indicates that the skb was allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves, and the flag is currently copied on skb copy and clone. However, an skb copied from an skb flagged with pfmemalloc wasn't necessarily allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserves, and on the other hand an skb allocated that way might be copied from an skb that wasn't. So we should not copy the flag on skb copy, and rather decide whether to allow an skb to be associated with sockets unrelated to page reclaim depending only on how it was allocated. Move the pfmemalloc flag before headers_start[0] using an existing 1-bit hole, so that __copy_skb_header() doesn't copy it. When cloning, we'll now take care of this flag explicitly, contravening to the warning comment of __skb_clone(). While at it, restore the newline usage introduced by commit b19372273164 ("net: reorganize sk_buff for faster __copy_skb_header()") to visually separate bytes used in bitfields after headers_start[0], that was gone after commit a9e419dc7be6 ("netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage area"), and describe the pfmemalloc flag in the kernel-doc structure comment. This doesn't change the size of sk_buff or cacheline boundaries, but consolidates the 15 bits hole before tc_index into a 2 bytes hole before csum, that could now be filled more easily.

branch-check: fix long->int truncation when profiling branches

2018-07-03T09:18:45+00:00

commit 2026d35741f2c3ece73c11eb7e4a15d7c2df9ebe upstream. The function __builtin_expect returns long type (see the gcc documentation), and so do macros likely and unlikely. Unfortunatelly, when CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is selected, the macros likely and unlikely expand to __branch_check__ and __branch_check__ truncates the long type to int. This unintended truncation may cause bugs in various kernel code (we found a bug in dm-writecache because of it), so it's better to fix __branch_check__ to return long.

usb: gadget: composite: fix incorrect handling of OS desc requests

2018-05-30T05:47:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5d6ae4f0da8a64a185074dabb1b2f8c148efa741 ] When handling an OS descriptor request, one of the first operations is to zero out the request buffer using the wLength from the setup packet. There is no bounds checking, so a wLength > 4096 would clobber memory adjacent to the request buffer. Fix this by taking the min of wLength and the request buffer length prior to the memset. While at it, define the buffer length in a header file so that magic numbers don't appear throughout the code. When returning data to the host, the data length should be the min of the wLength and the valid data we have to return. Currently we are returning wLength, thus requests for a wLength greater than the amount of data in the OS descriptor buffer would return invalid (albeit zero'd) data following the valid descriptor data. Fix this by counting the number of bytes when constructing the data and using this when determining the length of the request.

x86/power: Fix swsusp_arch_resume prototype

[ Upstream commit 328008a72d38b5bde6491e463405c34a81a65d3e ] The declaration for swsusp_arch_resume marks it as 'asmlinkage', but the definition in x86-32 does not, and it fails to include the header with the declaration. This leads to a warning when building with link-time-optimizations: kernel/power/power.h:108:23: error: type of 'swsusp_arch_resume' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch] extern asmlinkage int swsusp_arch_resume(void); ^ arch/x86/power/hibernate_32.c:148:0: note: 'swsusp_arch_resume' was previously declared here int swsusp_arch_resume(void) This moves the declaration into a globally visible header file and fixes up both x86 definitions to match it.

do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode combinations safely

2018-05-30T05:47:29+00:00

commit 1e2e547a93a00ebc21582c06ca3c6cfea2a309ee upstream. For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode) which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch ->i_mutex. Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage that follows from that. Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new()) combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode(). All combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should be converted to that.
