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.

udlfb: set optimal write delay

2018-09-09T18:07:56+00:00

commit bb24153a3f13dd0dbc1f8055ad97fe346d598f66 upstream. The default delay 5 jiffies is too much when the kernel is compiled with HZ=100 - it results in jumpy cursor in Xwindow. In order to find out the optimal delay, I benchmarked the driver on 1280x720x30fps video. I found out that with HZ=1000, 10ms is acceptable, but with HZ=250 or HZ=300, we need 4ms, so that the video is played without any frame skips. This patch changes the delay to this value.

netfilter: ipv6: nf_defrag: reduce struct net memory waste

2018-08-28T05:21:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9ce7bc036ae4cfe3393232c86e9e1fea2153c237 ] It is a waste of memory to use a full "struct netns_sysctl_ipv6" while only one pointer is really used, considering netns_sysctl_ipv6 keeps growing. Also, since "struct netns_frags" has cache line alignment, it is better to move the frags_hdr pointer outside, otherwise we spend a full cache line for this pointer. This saves 192 bytes of memory per netns.

vsock: split dwork to avoid reinitializations

2018-08-28T05:21:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 455f05ecd2b219e9a216050796d30c830d9bc393 ] syzbot reported that we reinitialize an active delayed work in vsock_stream_connect(): ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x90 kernel/workqueue.c:1414 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 11518 at lib/debugobjects.c:329 debug_print_object+0x16a/0x210 lib/debugobjects.c:326 The pattern is apparently wrong, we should only initialize the dealyed work once and could repeatly schedule it. So we have to move out the initializations to allocation side. And to avoid confusion, we can split the shared dwork into two, instead of re-using the same one.

llc: use refcount_inc_not_zero() for llc_sap_find()

2018-08-28T05:21:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0dcb82254d65f72333aa50ad626d1e9665ad093b ] llc_sap_put() decreases the refcnt before deleting sap from the global list. Therefore, there is a chance llc_sap_find() could find a sap with zero refcnt in this global list. Close this race condition by checking if refcnt is zero or not in llc_sap_find(), if it is zero then it is being removed so we can just treat it as gone.

crypto: vmac - separate tfm and request context

2018-08-17T18:54:56+00:00

commit bb29648102335586e9a66289a1d98a0cb392b6e5 upstream. syzbot reported a crash in vmac_final() when multiple threads concurrently use the same "vmac(aes)" transform through AF_ALG. The bug is pretty fundamental: the VMAC template doesn't separate per-request state from per-tfm (per-key) state like the other hash algorithms do, but rather stores it all in the tfm context. That's wrong. Also, vmac_final() incorrectly zeroes most of the state including the derived keys and cached pseudorandom pad. Therefore, only the first VMAC invocation with a given key calculates the correct digest. Fix these bugs by splitting the per-tfm state from the per-request state and using the proper init/update/final sequencing for requests. Reproducer for the crash: #include #include #include int main() { int fd; struct sockaddr_alg addr = { .salg_type = "hash", .salg_name = "vmac(aes)", }; char buf[256] = { 0 }; fd = socket(AF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); bind(fd, (void *)&addr, sizeof(addr)); setsockopt(fd, SOL_ALG, ALG_SET_KEY, buf, 16); fork(); fd = accept(fd, NULL, NULL); for (;;) write(fd, buf, 256); } The immediate cause of the crash is that vmac_ctx_t.partial_size exceeds VMAC_NHBYTES, causing vmac_final() to memset() a negative length.

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.

tcp: do not delay ACK in DCTCP upon CE status change

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

[ Upstream commit a0496ef2c23b3b180902dd185d0d63ccbc624cf8 ] Per DCTCP RFC8257 (Section 3.2) the ACK reflecting the CE status change has to be sent immediately so the sender can respond quickly: """ When receiving packets, the CE codepoint MUST be processed as follows: 1. If the CE codepoint is set and DCTCP.CE is false, set DCTCP.CE to true and send an immediate ACK. 2. If the CE codepoint is not set and DCTCP.CE is true, set DCTCP.CE to false and send an immediate ACK. """ Previously DCTCP implementation may continue to delay the ACK.
