commit 63530aba7826a0f8e129874df9c4d264f9db3f9e upstream.

syzbot found that ax25 routes where not properly protected
against concurrent use [1].

In this particular report the bug happened while
copying ax25-&gt;digipeat.

Fix this problem by making sure we call ax25_get_route()
while ax25_route_lock is held, so that no modification
could happen while using the route.

The current two ax25_get_route() callers do not sleep,
so this change should be fine.

Once we do that, ax25_get_route() no longer needs to
grab a reference on the found route.

[ Upstream commit c09551c6ff7fe16a79a42133bcecba5fc2fc3291 ]

According to the algorithm described in the comment block at the
beginning of ip_rt_send_redirect, the host should try to send
'ip_rt_redirect_number' ICMP redirect packets with an exponential
backoff and then stop sending them at all assuming that the destination
ignores redirects.
If the device has previously sent some ICMP error packets that are
rate-limited (e.g TTL expired) and continues to receive traffic,
the redirect packets will never be transmitted. This happens since
peer-&gt;rate_tokens will be typically greater than 'ip_rt_redirect_number'
and so it will never be reset even if the redirect silence timeout
(ip_rt_redirect_silence) has elapsed without receiving any packet
requiring redirects.

Fix it by using a dedicated counter for the number of ICMP redirect
packets that has been sent by the host

I have not been able to identify a given commit that introduced the
issue since ip_rt_send_redirect implements the same rate-limiting
algorithm from commit 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

[ Upstream commit 04c03114be82194d4a4858d41dba8e286ad1787c ]

soukjin bae reported a crash in tcp_v4_err() handling
ICMP_DEST_UNREACH after tcp_write_queue_head(sk)
returned a NULL pointer.

Current logic should have prevented this :

  if (seq != tp-&gt;snd_una  || !icsk-&gt;icsk_retransmits ||
      !icsk-&gt;icsk_backoff || fastopen)
      break;

Problem is the write queue might have been purged
and icsk_backoff has not been cleared.

commit 13054abbaa4f1fd4e6f3b4b63439ec033b4c8035 upstream.

Ring buffer implementation in hid_debug_event() and hid_debug_events_read()
is strange allowing lost or corrupted data. After commit 717adfdaf147
("HID: debug: check length before copy_to_user()") it is possible to enter
an infinite loop in hid_debug_events_read() by providing 0 as count, this
locks up a system. Fix this by rewriting the ring buffer implementation
with kfifo and simplify the code.

This fixes CVE-2019-3819.

v2: fix an execution logic and add a comment
v3: use __set_current_state() instead of set_current_state()

Backport to v3.18: some (tree-wide) patches are missing in v3.18 so
cherry-pick relevant pieces from:
 * 6396bb221514 ("treewide: kzalloc() -&gt; kcalloc()")
 * a9a08845e9ac ("vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement")
 * 92529623d242 ("HID: debug: improve hid_debug_event()")

commit 4f2ab5e1d13d6aa77c55f4914659784efd776eb4 upstream.

It is normal user behaviour to start, stop, then start a stream
again without closing it. Currently this works for compressed
playback streams but not capture ones.

The states on a compressed capture stream go directly from OPEN to
PREPARED, unlike a playback stream which moves to SETUP and waits
for a write of data before moving to PREPARED. Currently however,
when a stop is sent the state is set to SETUP for both types of
streams. This leaves a capture stream in the situation where a new
start can't be sent as that requires the state to be PREPARED and
a new set_params can't be sent as that requires the state to be
OPEN. The only option being to close the stream, and then reopen.

Correct this issues by allowing snd_compr_drain_notify to set the
state depending on the stream direction, as we already do in
set_params.

[ Upstream commit a52c5a16cf19d8a85831bb1b915a221dd4ffae3c ]

There are several warnings from Clang about no case statement matching
the constant 0:

In file included from drivers/block/drbd/drbd_receiver.c:48:

        switch (0) {
                ^

Silence this warning by adding a 'case 0:' statement. Additionally,
adjust the alignment of the statements in the ct_assert_unique macro to
avoid a checkpatch warning.

This solution was originally sent by Arnd Bergmann with a default case
statement: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/756723/

<title>sunrpc: use-after-free in svc_process_common()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d4b09acf924b84bae77cad090a9d108e70b43643 upstream.

if node have NFSv41+ mounts inside several net namespaces
it can lead to use-after-free in svc_process_common()

svc_process_common()
        /* Setup reply header */
        rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt-&gt;xpt_ops-&gt;xpo_prep_reply_hdr(rqstp); &lt;&lt;&lt; HERE

svc_process_common() can use incorrect rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt,
its caller function bc_svc_process() takes it from serv-&gt;sv_bc_xprt.
The problem is that serv is global structure but sv_bc_xprt
is assigned per-netnamespace.

According to Trond, the whole "let's set up rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt
for the back channel" is nothing but a giant hack in order
to work around the fact that svc_process_common() uses it
to find the xpt_ops, and perform a couple of (meaningless
for the back channel) tests of xpt_flags.

All we really need in svc_process_common() is to be able to run
rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt-&gt;xpt_ops-&gt;xpo_prep_reply_hdr()

Bruce J Fields points that this xpo_prep_reply_hdr() call
is an awfully roundabout way just to do "svc_putnl(resv, 0);"
in the tcp case.

This patch does not initialiuze rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt in bc_svc_process(),
now it calls svc_process_common() with rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt = NULL.

To adjust reply header svc_process_common() just check
rqstp-&gt;rq_prot and calls svc_tcp_prep_reply_hdr() for tcp case.

To handle rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt = NULL case in functions called from
svc_process_common() patch intruduces net namespace pointer
svc_rqst-&gt;rq_bc_net and adjust SVC_NET() definition.
Some other function was also adopted to properly handle described case.

commit fde872682e175743e0c3ef939c89e3c6008a1529 upstream.

Some time back, nfsd switched from calling vfs_fsync() to using a new
commit_metadata() hook in export_operations().  If the file system did
not provide a commit_metadata() hook, it fell back to using
sync_inode_metadata().  Unfortunately doesn't work on all file
systems.  In particular, it doesn't work on ext4 due to how the inode
gets journalled --- the VFS writeback code will not always call
ext4_write_inode().

So we need to provide our own ext4_nfs_commit_metdata() method which
calls ext4_write_inode() directly.

<title>sock: Make sock-&gt;sk_stamp thread-safe</title>

[ Upstream commit 3a0ed3e9619738067214871e9cb826fa23b2ddb9 ]

Al Viro mentioned (Message-ID
&lt;20170626041334.GZ10672@ZenIV.linux.org.uk&gt;)
that there is probably a race condition
lurking in accesses of sk_stamp on 32-bit machines.

sock-&gt;sk_stamp is of type ktime_t which is always an s64.
On a 32 bit architecture, we might run into situations of
unsafe access as the access to the field becomes non atomic.

Use seqlocks for synchronization.
This allows us to avoid using spinlocks for readers as
readers do not need mutual exclusion.

Another approach to solve this is to require sk_lock for all
modifications of the timestamps. The current approach allows
for timestamps to have their own lock: sk_stamp_lock.
This allows for the patch to not compete with already
existing critical sections, and side effects are limited
to the paths in the patch.

The addition of the new field maintains the data locality
optimizations from
commit 9115e8cd2a0c ("net: reorganize struct sock for better data
locality")

Note that all the instances of the sk_stamp accesses
are either through the ioctl or the syscall recvmsg.

<title>posix-timers: Sanitize overrun handling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2f5f58a8b5d8eb12cfc955cca62ccb5254bab951</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 78c9c4dfbf8c04883941445a195276bb4bb92c76 upstream.

The posix timer overrun handling is broken because the forwarding functions
can return a huge number of overruns which does not fit in an int. As a
consequence timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun can turn into
random number generators.

The k_clock::timer_forward() callbacks return a 64 bit value now. Make
k_itimer::ti_overrun[_last] 64bit as well, so the kernel internal
accounting is correct. 3Remove the temporary (int) casts.

Add a helper function which clamps the overrun value returned to user space
via timer_getoverrun(2) or siginfo::si_overrun limited to a positive value
between 0 and INT_MAX. INT_MAX is an indicator for user space that the
overrun value has been clamped.
