commit 9f418224e8114156d995b98fa4e0f4fd21f685fe upstream.

Fix a race in the multi-order iteration code which causes the kernel to
hit a GP fault.  This was first seen with a production v4.15 based
kernel (4.15.6-300.fc27.x86_64) utilizing a DAX workload which used
order 9 PMD DAX entries.

The race has to do with how we tear down multi-order sibling entries
when we are removing an item from the tree.  Remember for example that
an order 2 entry looks like this:

  struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][sibling][sibling][sibling]

where 'entry' is in some slot in the struct radix_tree_node, and the
three slots following 'entry' contain sibling pointers which point back
to 'entry.'

When we delete 'entry' from the tree, we call :

  radix_tree_delete()
    radix_tree_delete_item()
      __radix_tree_delete()
        replace_slot()

replace_slot() first removes the siblings in order from the first to the
last, then at then replaces 'entry' with NULL.  This means that for a
brief period of time we end up with one or more of the siblings removed,
so:

  struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][NULL][sibling][sibling]

This causes an issue if you have a reader iterating over the slots in
the tree via radix_tree_for_each_slot() while only under
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() protection.  This is a common case in
mm/filemap.c.

The issue is that when __radix_tree_next_slot() =&gt; skip_siblings() tries
to skip over the sibling entries in the slots, it currently does so with
an exact match on the slot directly preceding our current slot.
Normally this works:

                                      V preceding slot
  struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][sibling][sibling][sibling]
                                              ^ current slot

This lets you find the first sibling, and you skip them all in order.

But in the case where one of the siblings is NULL, that slot is skipped
and then our sibling detection is interrupted:

                                             V preceding slot
  struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][NULL][sibling][sibling]
                                                    ^ current slot

This means that the sibling pointers aren't recognized since they point
all the way back to 'entry', so we think that they are normal internal
radix tree pointers.  This causes us to think we need to walk down to a
struct radix_tree_node starting at the address of 'entry'.

In a real running kernel this will crash the thread with a GP fault when
you try and dereference the slots in your broken node starting at
'entry'.

We fix this race by fixing the way that skip_siblings() detects sibling
nodes.  Instead of testing against the preceding slot we instead look
for siblings via is_sibling_entry() which compares against the position
of the struct radix_tree_node.slots[] array.  This ensures that sibling
entries are properly identified, even if they are no longer contiguous
with the 'entry' they point to.

commit 1e3054b98c5415d5cb5f8824fc33b548ae5644c3 upstream.

I had neglected to increment the error counter when the tests failed,
which made the tests noisy when they fail, but not actually return an
error code.

<title>vsprintf: Replace memory barrier with static_key for random_ptr_key update</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f19fce0400cf0ae1d14e85540fcdf65a7b5b5f7c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 85f4f12d51397f1648e1f4350f77e24039b82d61 upstream.

Reviewing Tobin's patches for getting pointers out early before
entropy has been established, I noticed that there's a lone smp_mb() in
the code. As with most lone memory barriers, this one appears to be
incorrectly used.

We currently basically have this:

	get_random_bytes(&amp;ptr_key, sizeof(ptr_key));
	/*
	 * have_filled_random_ptr_key==true is dependent on get_random_bytes().
	 * ptr_to_id() needs to see have_filled_random_ptr_key==true
	 * after get_random_bytes() returns.
	 */
	smp_mb();
	WRITE_ONCE(have_filled_random_ptr_key, true);

And later we have:

	if (unlikely(!have_filled_random_ptr_key))
		return string(buf, end, "(ptrval)", spec);

/* Missing memory barrier here. */

	hashval = (unsigned long)siphash_1u64((u64)ptr, &amp;ptr_key);

As the CPU can perform speculative loads, we could have a situation
with the following:

	CPU0				CPU1
	----				----
				   load ptr_key = 0
   store ptr_key = random
   smp_mb()
   store have_filled_random_ptr_key

				   load have_filled_random_ptr_key = true

				    BAD BAD BAD! (you're so bad!)

Because nothing prevents CPU1 from loading ptr_key before loading
have_filled_random_ptr_key.

But this race is very unlikely, but we can't keep an incorrect smp_mb() in
place. Instead, replace the have_filled_random_ptr_key with a static_branch
not_filled_random_ptr_key, that is initialized to true and changed to false
when we get enough entropy. If the update happens in early boot, the
static_key is updated immediately, otherwise it will have to wait till
entropy is filled and this happens in an interrupt handler which can't
enable a static_key, as that requires a preemptible context. In that case, a
work_queue is used to enable it, as entropy already took too long to
establish in the first place waiting a little more shouldn't hurt anything.

The benefit of using the static key is that the unlikely branch in
vsprintf() now becomes a nop.

commit 05e13bb57e6f181d7605f8608181c7e6fb7f591d upstream.

If DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN is passed to swiotlb_alloc_buffer(), it should be
passed further down to swiotlb_tbl_map_single(). Otherwise we escape
half of the warnings but still log the other half.

This is one of the multiple causes of spurious warnings reported at:

commit b4678df184b314a2bd47d2329feca2c2534aa12b upstream.

The errseq_t infrastructure assumes that errors which occurred before
the file descriptor was opened are of no interest to the application.
This turns out to be a regression for some applications, notably Postgres.

Before errseq_t, a writeback error would be reported exactly once (as
long as the inode remained in memory), so Postgres could open a file,
call fsync() and find out whether there had been a writeback error on
that file from another process.

This patch changes the errseq infrastructure to report errors to all
file descriptors which are opened after the error occurred, but before
it was reported to any file descriptor.  This restores the user-visible
behaviour.

Commit 841a915d20c7b2 ("printf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers")
would preprocess various pointers that are dereferenced in the bprintf()
because the recording and printing are done at two different times. Some
pointers stayed dereferenced in the ring buffer because user space could
handle them (namely "%pS" and friends). Pointers that are not dereferenced
should not be processed immediately but instead just saved directly.

commit 9e7f06c8beee304ee21b791653fefcd713f48b9a upstream.

The code refactoring by commit 0176adb00406 ("swiotlb: refactor coherent
buffer allocation") made swiotlb_alloc_buffer almost always failing due
to a thinko: namely, the function evaluates the dma_coherent_ok call
incorrectly and dealing as if it's invalid. This ends up with weird
errors like iwlwifi probe failure or amdgpu screen flickering.

This patch corrects the logic error.

commit 8351760ff5b2042039554b4948ddabaac644a976 upstream.

syzbot is catching stalls at __bitmap_parselist()
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=ad7e0351fbc90535558514a71cd3edc11681997a).
The trigger is

  unsigned long v = 0;
  bitmap_parselist("7:,", &amp;v, BITS_PER_LONG);

which results in hitting infinite loop at

    while (a &lt;= b) {
	    off = min(b - a + 1, used_size);
	    bitmap_set(maskp, a, off);
	    a += group_size;
    }

due to used_size == group_size == 0.
