skbuff: add an api to orphan frags

2014-07-01T03:01:33+00:00

commit a353e0ce0fd42d8859260666d1e9b10f2abd4698 upstream. Many places do if ((skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags & SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY)) skb_copy_ubufs(skb, gfp_mask); to copy and invoke frag destructors if necessary. Add an inline helper for this.

genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqs

2014-07-01T03:01:33+00:00

commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream. Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded interrupts is broken in two ways: - note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible. - note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for the spurious detection unprotected. To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have implicit serialization. If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and return. If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the spurious detector. If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have found at least one device driver who cared.

lib/lzo: Update LZO compression to current upstream version

2014-06-26T19:10:29+00:00

commit 8b975bd3f9089f8ee5d7bbfd798537b992bbc7e7 upstream. This commit updates the kernel LZO code to the current upsteam version which features a significant speed improvement - benchmarking the Calgary and Silesia test corpora typically shows a doubled performance in both compression and decompression on modern i386/x86_64/powerpc machines.

ALSA: control: Protect user controls against concurrent access

2014-06-26T19:10:29+00:00

commit 07f4d9d74a04aa7c72c5dae0ef97565f28f17b92 upstream. The user-control put and get handlers as well as the tlv do not protect against concurrent access from multiple threads. Since the state of the control is not updated atomically it is possible that either two write operations or a write and a read operation race against each other. Both can lead to arbitrary memory disclosure. This patch introduces a new lock that protects user-controls from concurrent access. Since applications typically access controls sequentially than in parallel a single lock per card should be fine.

team: fix mtu setting

2014-06-26T19:10:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9d0d68faea6962d62dd501cd6e71ce5cc8ed262b ] Now it is not possible to set mtu to team device which has a port enslaved to it. The reason is that when team_change_mtu() calls dev_set_mtu() for port device, notificator for NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU event is called and team_device_event() returns NOTIFY_BAD forbidding the change. So fix this by returning NOTIFY_DONE here in case team is changing mtu in team_change_mtu().

net: fix inet_getid() and ipv6_select_ident() bugs

2014-06-26T19:10:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 39c36094d78c39e038c1e499b2364e13bce36f54 ] I noticed we were sending wrong IPv4 ID in TCP flows when MTU discovery is disabled. Note how GSO/TSO packets do not have monotonically incrementing ID. 06:37:41.575531 IP (id 14227, proto: TCP (6), length: 4396) 06:37:41.575534 IP (id 14272, proto: TCP (6), length: 65212) 06:37:41.575544 IP (id 14312, proto: TCP (6), length: 57972) 06:37:41.575678 IP (id 14317, proto: TCP (6), length: 7292) 06:37:41.575683 IP (id 14361, proto: TCP (6), length: 63764) It appears I introduced this bug in linux-3.1. inet_getid() must return the old value of peer->ip_id_count, not the new one. Lets revert this part, and remove the prevention of a null identification field in IPv6 Fragment Extension Header, which is dubious and not even done properly.

8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port

2014-06-11T19:04:22+00:00

commit ebebd49a8eab5e9aa1b1f8f1614ccc3c2120f886 upstream. Add support for the UART device present in Broadcom TruManage capable NetXtreme chips (ie: 5761m 5762, and 5725). This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte interrupt mode results in too many interrupts. The UART_CAP_HFIFO capability was added to track this. It continues to reload the THR as long as the THRE and TSRE bits are set in the LSR up to a specified limit (1024 is used here).

nfsd: check passed socket's net matches NFSd superblock's one

2014-06-11T19:04:19+00:00

commit 3064639423c48d6e0eb9ecc27c512a58e38c6c57 upstream. There could be a case, when NFSd file system is mounted in network, different to socket's one, like below: "ip netns exec" creates new network and mount namespace, which duplicates NFSd mount point, created in init_net context. And thus NFS server stop in nested network context leads to RPCBIND client destruction in init_net. Then, on NFSd start in nested network context, rpc.nfsd process creates socket in nested net and passes it into "write_ports", which leads to RPCBIND sockets creation in init_net context because of the same reason (NFSd monut point was created in init_net context). An attempt to register passed socket in nested net leads to panic, because no RPCBIND client present in nexted network namespace. This patch add check that passed socket's net matches NFSd superblock's one. And returns -EINVAL error to user psace otherwise. v2: Put socket on exit.
