2012-09-26don't bother with call_rcu() in put_files_struct()Al Viro1-9/+5
At that point nobody can see us anyway; everything that looks at files_fdtable(files) is separated from the guts of put_files_struct(files) - either since files is current->files or because we fetched it under task_lock() and hadn't dropped that yet, or because we'd bumped files->count while holding task_lock()...

2012-09-26new helper: __alloc_fd()Al Viro3-58/+16
Essentially, alloc_fd() in a files_struct we own a reference to. Most of the time wanting to use it is a sign of lousy API design (such as android/binder). It's *not* a general-purpose interface; better that than open-coding its guts, but again, playing with other process' descriptor table is a sign of bad design.

Both modular callers of sock_map_fd() had been buggy; sctp one leaks descriptor and file if copy_to_user() fails, 9p one shouldn't be exposing file in the descriptor table at all.

Pull more networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to continue using pskb_may_pull(). So they could end up reading garbage. It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify the linear SKB data area. 2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can call down into the TCP keepalive code. The case basically involves creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...) Fixed by Eric Dumazet. 3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP. Fix from Andrzej Kaczmarek. 4) Bluetooth cancels delayed work erroneously, put stricter checks in place. From Andrei Emeltchenko. 5) Fix deadlock between cfg80211_mutex and reg_regdb_search_mutex in cfg80211, from Luis R. Rodriguez. 6) Fix interrupt double release in iwlwifi, from Emmanuel Grumbach. 7) Missing module license in bcm87xx driver, from Peter Huewe. 8) Team driver can lose port changed events when adding devices to a team, fix from Jiri Pirko. 9) Fix endless loop when trying ot unregister PPPOE device in zombie state, from Xiaodong Xu. 10) batman-adv layer needs to set MAC address of software device earlier, otherwise we call tt_local_add with it uninitialized. 11) Fix handling of KSZ8021 PHYs, it's matched currently by KS8051 but that doesn't program the device properly.

Commit 1ad75b9e1628 ("c/r: prctl: add minimal address test to PR_SET_MM") added some address checking to prctl_set_mm() used by checkpoint-restore. This causes a build error for no-MMU systems: kernel/sys.c: In function 'prctl_set_mm': kernel/sys.c:1868:34: error: 'mmap_min_addr' undeclared (first use in this function) The test for mmap_min_addr doesn't make a lot of sense for no-MMU code as noted in commit 6e1415467614 ("NOMMU: Optimise away the {dac_,}mmap_min_addr tests"). This patch defines mmap_min_addr as 0UL in the no-MMU case so that the compiler will optimize away tests for "addr < mmap_min_addr".

2012-09-25lib/flex_proportions.c: fix corruption of denominator in flexible proportionsJan Kara1-1/+1
When racing with CPU hotplug, percpu_counter_sum() can return negative values for the number of observed events. This confuses fprop_new_period(), which uses unsigned type and as a result number of events is set to big *positive* number. From that moment on, things go pear shaped and can result e.g. in division by zero as denominator is later truncated to 32-bits. This bug causes a divide-by-zero oops in bdi_dirty_limit() in Borislav's 3.6.0-rc6 based kernel. Fix the issue by using a signed type in fprop_new_period(). That makes us bail out from the function without doing anything (mistakenly) thinking there are no events to age. That makes aging somewhat inaccurate but getting accurate data would be rather hard.

2012-09-25sh: pfc: Fix up GPIO mux type reconfig case.Paul Mundt1-0/+2
Some drivers need to switch pin states between GPIO and pin function at runtime, which was inadvertently broken in the pinctrl driver for GPIOs being bound to a specific direction. This fixes up the request path to ensure that previously configured GPIOs don't cause us to inadvertently error out with an unsupported mux on reconfig, which in practice is primarily aimed at trapping pull-up/down users that have yet to be implemented under the new API. Fixes up regressions in the TPU PWM driver, amongst others.

For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says this: "Here goes probably my last update to 3.6. It includes the two patches you were ok last week(from Andrzej Kaczmarek), those are critical ones, and two other fixes one for a system crash and the other for a missing lockdep annotation." The referenced fixes from Andrzej prevent attempts to configure devices that are powered-off. Along with the Bluetooth fixes, there are a couple of 802.11 fixes. Emmanuel Grumbach gives us an iwlwifi fix to prevent releasing an interrupt twice. Luis R.

It is OK to disable the PV guest from accessing NUMA data as right now we do not inject any NUMA node information to the PV guests.

The KSZ8021 PHY was previously caught by KS8051, which is not correct. This PHY needs additional setup if it is strapped for address 0. In such case an reserved bit must be written in the 0x16, "Operation Mode Strap Override" register. According to the KS8051 datasheet, that bit means "PHY Address 0 in non-broadcast" and it indeed behaves as such on KSZ8021. The issue where the ethernet controller (Freescale FEC) did not communicate with network is fixed by writing this bit as 1. Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut <marex@denx.de> Cc: David J.

2012-09-24xen/boot: Disable NUMA for PV guests.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+4
The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those patches are not yet present. In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says: "we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA). This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see. This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class) We have this dump then: NUMA: Warning: node ids are out of bound, from=-1 to=-1 distance=10 Scanning NUMA topology in Northbridge 24 Number of physical nodes 4 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 0000000040000000 Node 1 MemBase 0000000040000000 Limit 0000000138000000 Node 2 MemBase 0000000138000000 Limit 00000001f8000000 Node 3 MemBase 00000001f8000000 Limit 0000000238000000 Initmem setup node 0 0000000000000000-0000000040000000 NODE_DATA [000000003ffd9000 - 000000003fffffff] Initmem setup node 1 0000000040000000-0000000138000000 NODE_DATA [0000000137fd9000 - 0000000137ffffff] Initmem setup node 2 0000000138000000-00000001f8000000 NODE_DATA [00000001f095e000 - 00000001f0984fff] Initmem setup node 3 00000001f8000000-0000000238000000 Cannot find 159744 bytes in node 3 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.3.6 #1 AMD Dinar/Dinar RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81d220e6>] [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 .. snip..

Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1. Since commit 7a623c039 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in struct mem_ctl_info. Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc(). Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc(). The BUG this patch resolves for me: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) EIP is at __wake_up_common+0x1a/0x6a Process modprobe (pid: 933, ti=f3dc6000 task=f3db9520 task.ti=f3dc6000) Call Trace: complete_all+0x3f/0x50 device_pm_remove+0x23/0xa2 device_del+0x34/0x142 edac_unregister_sysfs+0x3b/0x5c [edac_core] edac_mc_free+0x29/0x2f [edac_core] e7xxx_probe1+0x268/0x311 [e7xxx_edac] e7xxx_init_one+0x56/0x61 [e7xxx_edac] local_pci_probe+0x13/0x15 ...

2012-09-23edac_mc: fix messy kfree calls in the error pathFengguang Wu1-5/+7
coccinelle warns about: + drivers/edac/edac_mc.c:429:9-23: ERROR: reference preceded by free on line 429 421 if (mci->csrows) { > 422 for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++) { 423 csr = mci->csrows[chn]; 424 if (csr) { > 425 for (chn = 0; chn < tot_channels; chn++) 426 kfree(csr->channels[chn]); 427 kfree(csr); 428 } > 429 kfree(mci->csrows[i]); 430 } 431 kfree(mci->csrows); 432 } and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory leak, out-of-bound reads etc.): L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be "row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses). L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop, which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak. L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free for the kfree(csr) in L427. L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory. The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1 merge window. Fix it by freeing up resources in this order: free csrows[i]->channels[j] free csrows[i]->channels free csrows[i] free csrows CC: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> CC: Shaun Ruffell <sruffell@digium.com> Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-09-23batman-adv: Fix symmetry check / route flapping in multi interface setupsLinus Lüssing1-6/+7
If receiving an OGM from a neighbor other than the currently selected and if it has the same TQ then we are supposed to switch if this neighbor provides a more symmetric link than the currently selected one. However this symmetry check currently is broken if the interface of the neighbor we received the OGM from and the one of the currently selected neighbor differ: We are currently trying to determine the symmetry of the link towards the selected router via the link we received the OGM from instead of just checking via the link towards the currently selected router. This leads to way more route switches than necessary and can lead to permanent route flapping in many common multi interface setups. This patch fixes this issue by using the right interface for this symmetry check. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de>

2012-09-23hwmon: (coretemp) Use get_online_cpus to avoid races involving CPU hotplugSilas Boyd-Wickizer1-0/+5
coretemp_init loops with for_each_online_cpu, adding platform_devices and sysfs interfaces, then calls register_hotcpu_notifier. There is a race if a CPU is offlined or onlined after the loop, but before register_hotcpu_notifier. The race might result in the absence of a platform_device+sysfs interface for an online CPU, or the presence of a platform_device+sysfs interface for an offline CPU. A similar race occurs during coretemp_exit, after the module calls unregister_hotcpu_notifier, but before it unregisters all devices, a CPU might offline and a device for an offline CPU will exist for a short while. This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus; and surrounds unregister_hotcpu_notifier and device unregistering with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus. Build tested. Signed-off-by: Silas Boyd-Wickizer <sbw@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

2012-09-22do_add_mount()/umount -l racesAl Viro1-2/+8
normally we deal with lock_mount()/umount races by checking that mountpoint to be is still in our namespace after lock_mount() has been done. However, do_add_mount() skips that check when called with MNT_SHRINKABLE in flags (i.e. from finish_automount()). The reason is that ->mnt_ns may be a temporary namespace created exactly to contain automounts a-la NFS4 referral handling. It's not the namespace of the caller, though, so check_mnt() would fail here. We still need to check that ->mnt_ns is non-NULL in that case, though. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
