* usb_control_message() to/from stack (breaks on e.g. arm); some places did kmalloc() for buffer, some just worked from stack. Added kmalloc()/memcpy()/kfree() in asix_read_cmd()/asix_write_cmd(), removed that crap from callers. * Fixed a leak in ax88172_bind() - on success it forgot to kfree() the buffer. * Endianness bug in ax88178_bind() - we read a word from eeprom and work with it without converting to host-endian Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

txlo_dma_addr should be host-endian; we pass it to typhoon_tso_fill(), which does arithmetics on it, converts to l-e and passes it to card.

One cpu_to_le16() too many when passing argument for TYPHOON_CMD_XCVR_SELECT; we end up passing host-endian while the hardware expects little-endian. The other place doing that (typhoon_start_runtime()) does the right thing, so the card will recover at the next ifconfig up/tx timeout/resume, which limits the amount of mess, but still, WTF?

2007-12-21[XFS] Fix mknod regressionChristoph Hellwig1-3/+1
This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype', which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of the linux dev_t later down the function. Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the inode.

2007-12-21x86: fix die() to not be preemptibleIngo Molnar1-4/+3
Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags() instead of raw_local_irq_save(flags) in die(). This allows the preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane. this bug was introduced via: commit 39743c9ef717fd4f2b5583f010115c5f2482b8ae Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Fri Oct 19 20:35:03 2007 +0200 x86: use raw locks during oopses - spin_lock_irqsave(&die.lock, flags); + __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock); + raw_local_save_flags(flags); that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong flags-saving API was used.

2007-12-21[NET]: Fix function put_cmsg() which may cause usr application memory overflowWei Yongjun2-0/+4
When used function put_cmsg() to copy kernel information to user application memory, if the memory length given by user application is not enough, by the bad length calculate of msg.msg_controllen, put_cmsg() function may cause the msg.msg_controllen to be a large value, such as 0xFFFFFFF0, so the following put_cmsg() can also write data to usr application memory even usr has no valid memory to store this. This may cause usr application memory overflow. int put_cmsg(struct msghdr * msg, int level, int type, int len, void *data) { struct cmsghdr __user *cm = (__force struct cmsghdr __user *)msg->msg_control; struct cmsghdr cmhdr; int cmlen = CMSG_LEN(len); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ int err; if (MSG_CMSG_COMPAT & msg->msg_flags) return put_cmsg_compat(msg, level, type, len, data); if (cm==NULL || msg->msg_controllen < sizeof(*cm)) { msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC; return 0; /* XXX: return error? check spec. */ } if (msg->msg_controllen < cmlen) { ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC; cmlen = msg->msg_controllen; } cmhdr.cmsg_level = level; cmhdr.cmsg_type = type; cmhdr.cmsg_len = cmlen; err = -EFAULT; if (copy_to_user(cm, &cmhdr, sizeof cmhdr)) goto out; if (copy_to_user(CMSG_DATA(cm), data, cmlen - sizeof(struct cmsghdr))) goto out; cmlen = CMSG_SPACE(len); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If MSG_CTRUNC flags is set, msg->msg_controllen is less than CMSG_SPACE(len), "msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen" will cause unsinged int type msg->msg_controllen to be a large value. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ msg->msg_control += cmlen; msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ err = 0; out: return err; } The same promble exists in put_cmsg_compat().

2007-12-20dm crypt: use bio_add_pageMilan Broz1-13/+11
Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio. In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased and violate max_phys_segments restriction. This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction. This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently. Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec. All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.

2007-12-20dm: table detect io beyond deviceJun'ichi Nomura4-14/+32
This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed. (Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first, for example.) The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target() always returns a valid pointer. It may fail if a bio arrives from the block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM btree. This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device. After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message() check for this condition using dm_target_is_valid(). Sample test script to trigger oops:

2007-12-20debug: add end-of-oops markerArjan van de Ven1-0/+18
Right now it's nearly impossible for parsers that collect kernel crashes from logs or emails (such as www.kerneloops.org) to detect the end-of-oops condition. In addition, it's not currently possible to detect whether or not 2 oopses that look alike are actually the same oops reported twice, or are truly two unique oopses. This patch adds an end-of-oops marker, and makes the end marker include a very simple 64-bit random ID to be able to detect duplicate reports. Normally, this ID is calculated as a late_initcall() (in the hope that at that time there is enough entropy to get a unique enough ID); however for early oopses the oops_exit() function needs to generate the ID on the fly. We do this all at the _end_ of an oops printout, so this does not impact our ability to get the most important portions of a crash out to the console first. [ Sidenote: the already existing oopses-since-bootup counter we print during crashes serves as the differentiator between multiple oopses that trigger during the same bootup. ] Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit x86. Artificially injected very early crashes as well, as expected they result in this constant ID after multiple bootups: ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]--- ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]--- because the random pools are still all zero. But it all still works fine and causes no additional problems (which is the main goal of instrumentation code).

2007-12-20[IPSEC]: Avoid undefined shift operation when testing algorithm IDHerbert Xu1-2/+12
The aalgos/ealgos fields are only 32 bits wide. However, af_key tries to test them with the expression 1 << id where id can be as large as 253. This produces different behaviour on different architectures. The following patch explicitly checks whether ID is greater than 31 and fails the check if that's the case. We cannot easily extend the mask to be longer than 32 bits due to exposure to user-space. Besides, this whole interface is obsolete anyway in favour of the xfrm_user interface which doesn't use this bit mask in templates (well not within the kernel anyway).
