commit 979990c6284814617d8f2179d197f72ff62b5d85 upstream.

kernelci.org reports a crazy stack usage for the VT code when CONFIG_KASAN
is enabled:

drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c: In function 'kbd_keycode':
drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:1452:1: error: the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

The problem is that tty_insert_flip_char() gets inlined many times into
kbd_keycode(), and also into other functions, and each copy requires 128
bytes for stack redzone to check for a possible out-of-bounds access on
the 'ch' and 'flags' arguments that are passed into
tty_insert_flip_string_flags as a variable-length string.

This introduces a new __tty_insert_flip_char() function for the slow
path, which receives the two arguments by value. This completely avoids
the problem and the stack usage goes back down to around 100 bytes.

Without KASAN, this is also slightly better, as we don't have to
spill the arguments to the stack but can simply pass 'ch' and 'flag'
in registers, saving a few bytes in .text for each call site.

This should be backported to linux-4.0 or later, which first introduced
the stack sanitizer in the kernel.

After reverting commit 6d7b857d541e ("net: use lib/percpu_counter API
for fragmentation mem accounting") then here is no need for this
fix-up patch.  As percpu_counter is no longer used, it cannot
memory leak it any-longer.

[ Upstream commit fb452a1aa3fd4034d7999e309c5466ff2d7005aa ]

This reverts commit 6d7b857d541ecd1d9bd997c97242d4ef94b19de2.

There is a bug in fragmentation codes use of the percpu_counter API,
that can cause issues on systems with many CPUs.

The frag_mem_limit() just reads the global counter (fbc-&gt;count),
without considering other CPUs can have upto batch size (130K) that
haven't been subtracted yet.  Due to the 3MBytes lower thresh limit,
this become dangerous at &gt;=24 CPUs (3*1024*1024/130000=24).

The correct API usage would be to use __percpu_counter_compare() which
does the right thing, and takes into account the number of (online)
CPUs and batch size, to account for this and call __percpu_counter_sum()
when needed.

We choose to revert the use of the lib/percpu_counter API for frag
memory accounting for several reasons:

1) On systems with CPUs &gt; 24, the heavier fully locked
   __percpu_counter_sum() is always invoked, which will be more
   expensive than the atomic_t that is reverted to.

Given systems with more than 24 CPUs are becoming common this doesn't
seem like a good option.  To mitigate this, the batch size could be
decreased and thresh be increased.

2) The add_frag_mem_limit+sub_frag_mem_limit pairs happen on the RX
   CPU, before SKBs are pushed into sockets on remote CPUs.  Given
   NICs can only hash on L2 part of the IP-header, the NIC-RXq's will
   likely be limited.  Thus, a fair chance that atomic add+dec happen
   on the same CPU.

Revert note that commit 1d6119baf061 ("net: fix percpu memory leaks")
removed init_frag_mem_limit() and instead use inet_frags_init_net().
After this revert, inet_frags_uninit_net() becomes empty.

[ Upstream commit 4e587ea71bf924f7dac621f1351653bd41e446cb ]

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt-&gt;rt6i_node related code:
  net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)
  ./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
  expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

[ Upstream commit c5cff8561d2d0006e972bd114afd51f082fee77c ]

We currently keep rt-&gt;rt6i_node pointing to the fib6_node for the route.
And some functions make use of this pointer to dereference the fib6_node
from rt structure, e.g. rt6_check(). However, as there is neither
refcount nor rcu taken when dereferencing rt-&gt;rt6i_node, it could
potentially cause crashes as rt-&gt;rt6i_node could be set to NULL by other
CPUs when doing a route deletion.
This patch introduces an rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node and
makes sure the functions that dereference it takes rcu_read_lock().

Note: there is no "Fixes" tag because this bug was there in a very
early stage.

Several legacy devices such as Geode-based Cisco ASA appliances
and DB800 development board do possess CS5536 IDE controller
with different PCI id than existing one. Using pata_generic is
not always feasible as at least DB800 requires MSR quirk from
pata_cs5536 to be used with vendor firmware.

Commit 0a94efb5acbb ("workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be

same value as __WQ_LEGACY.  I don't believe these were intended to
mean the same thing, so renumber __WQ_ORDERED_EXPLICIT.

<title>cpumask: fix spurious cpumask_of_node() on non-NUMA multi-node configs</title>

commit b339752d054fb32863418452dff350a1086885b1 upstream.

When !NUMA, cpumask_of_node(@node) equals cpu_online_mask regardless of
@node.  The assumption seems that if !NUMA, there shouldn't be more than
one node and thus reporting cpu_online_mask regardless of @node is
correct.  However, that assumption was broken years ago to support
DISCONTIGMEM and whether a system has multiple nodes or not is
separately controlled by NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES.

This means that, on a system with !NUMA &amp;&amp; NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES,
cpumask_of_node() will report cpu_online_mask for all possible nodes,
indicating that the CPUs are associated with multiple nodes which is an
impossible configuration.

This bug has been around forever but doesn't look like it has caused any
noticeable symptoms.  However, it triggers a WARN recently added to
workqueue to verify NUMA affinity configuration.

Fix it by reporting empty cpumask on non-zero nodes if !NUMA.

This important to call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() after changing queue
length. Parent qdisc should deactivate class in -&gt;qlen_notify() called from
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() but this happens only if qdisc-&gt;q.qlen in zero.

Missed class deactivations leads to crashes/warnings at picking packets
from empty qdisc and corrupting state at reactivating this class in future.
