Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path
has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO.
Given:
Host <mtu1500> R1 <mtu1200> R2
Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2. R1 performs GRO.
In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed
messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu
checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding
the mtu.
When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does
not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out
packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu.
This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso
segment lengths into account.
For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual
segments are too big.
For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit
is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path
create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine.
It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of
the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to
work fine in my (limited) tests.
Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via ->gso_size to avoid
sofware segmentation.
However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related
to mss size so we would BUG there. I don't want to mess with it considering
Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be.
Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size
skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where
SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded.
This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4
non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small. Its not perfect,
but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a
rare case anyway. Also its not like this could not be improved later
once the dust settles.

SCTP's sctp_connectx() abi breaks for 64bit kernels compiled with 32bit
emulation (e.g. ia32 emulation or x86_x32). Due to internal usage of
'struct sctp_getaddrs_old' which includes a struct sockaddr pointer,
sizeof(param) check will always fail in kernel as the structure in
64bit kernel space is 4bytes larger than for user binaries compiled
in 32bit mode. Thus, applications making use of sctp_connectx() won't
be able to run under such circumstances.
Introduce a compat interface in the kernel to deal with such
situations by using a 'struct compat_sctp_getaddrs_old' structure
where user data is copied into it, and then sucessively transformed
into a 'struct sctp_getaddrs_old' structure with the help of
compat_ptr(). That fixes sctp_connectx() abi without any changes
needed in user space, and lets the SCTP test suite pass when compiled
in 32bit and run on 64bit kernels.

This patch removes a generic hard_header_len check from the usbnet
module that is causing dropped packages under certain circumstances
for devices that send rx packets that cross urb boundaries.
One example is the AX88772B which occasionally send rx packets that
cross urb boundaries where the remaining partial packet is sent with
no hardware header. When the buffer with a partial packet is of less
number of octets than the value of hard_header_len the buffer is
discarded by the usbnet module.
With AX88772B this can be reproduced by using ping with a packet
size between 1965-1976.
The bug has been reported here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29082
This patch introduces the following changes:
- Removes the generic hard_header_len check in the rx_complete
function in the usbnet module.
- Introduces a ETH_HLEN check for skbs that are not cloned from
within a rx_fixup callback.
- For safety a hard_header_len check is added to each rx_fixup
callback function that could be affected by this change.
These extra checks could possibly be removed by someone
who has the hardware to test.
- Removes a call to dev_kfree_skb_any() and instead utilizes the
dev->done list to queue skbs for cleanup.
The changes place full responsibility on the rx_fixup callback
functions that clone skbs to only pass valid skbs to the
usbnet_skb_return function.

Quoting David Vrabel -
"5780 cards cannot have jumbo frames and TSO enabled together. When
jumbo frames are enabled by setting the MTU, the TSO feature must be
cleared. This is done indirectly by calling netdev_update_features()
which will call tg3_fix_features() to actually clear the flags.
netdev_update_features() will also trigger a new netlink message for the
feature change event which will result in a call to tg3_get_stats64()
which deadlocks on the tg3 lock."
tg3_set_mtu() does not need to be under the tg3 lock since converting
the flags to use set_bit(). Move it out to after tg3_netif_stop().

Commit 46d3ceabd8d9 ("tcp: TCP Small Queues") introduced a possible
regression for applications using TCP_NODELAY.
If TCP session is throttled because of tsq, we should consult
tp->nonagle when TX completion is done and allow us to send additional
segment, especially if this segment is not a full MSS.
Otherwise this segment is sent after an RTO.
[edumazet] : Cooked the changelog, added another fix about testing
sk_wmem_alloc twice because TX completion can happen right before
setting TSQ_THROTTLED bit.
This problem is particularly visible with recent auto corking,
but might also be triggered with low tcp_limit_output_bytes
values or NIC drivers delaying TX completion by hundred of usec,
and very low rtt.
Thomas Glanzmann for example reported an iscsi regression, caused
by tcp auto corking making this bug quite visible.

The 9p-virtio transport does zero copy on things larger than 1024 bytes
in size. It accomplishes this by returning the physical addresses of
pages to the virtio-pci device. At present, the translation is usually a
bit shift.
That approach produces an invalid page address when we read/write to
vmalloc buffers, such as those used for Linux kernel modules. Any
attempt to load a Linux kernel module from 9p-virtio produces the
following stack.
qemu-system-x86_64: virtio: trying to map MMIO memory
This patch enables 9p-virtio to correctly handle this case. This not
only enables us to load Linux kernel modules off virtfs, but also
enables ZFS file-based vdevs on virtfs to be used without killing QEMU.
Special thanks to both Avi Kivity and Alexander Graf for their
interpretation of QEMU backtraces. Without their guidence, tracking down
this bug would have taken much longer. Also, special thanks to Linus
Torvalds for his insightful explanation of why this should use
is_vmalloc_addr() instead of is_vmalloc_or_module_addr():

2. mac80211 module call rtl_op_config with IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
3. rtl_ips_nic_on is called which disable local irqs
4. rtl92c_phy_set_rf_power_state() is called
5. rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called and hw_init()is executed and then the interrupts on the device are enabled
A good solution could be to refactor the code to avoid calling rtl92ce_hw_init() with the irqs disabled
but a quick and dirty solution that has proven to work is
to reenable the irqs during the function rtl92ce_hw_init().
I think that it is safe doing so since the device interrupt will only be enabled after the init function succeed.

This patch fixes regression caused by commit a16dad77634 "MIPS: Fix
potencial corruption". That commit fixes one corruption scenario in
cost of adding another one, which actually start to cause crashes
on Yeeloong laptop when rtl8187 driver is used.
For correct DMA read operation on machines without DMA coherence, kernel
have to invalidate cache, such it will refill later with new data that
device wrote to memory, when that data is needed to process. We can only
invalidate full cache line. Hence when cache line includes both dma
buffer and some other data (written in cache, but not yet in main
memory), the other data can not hit memory due to invalidation. That
happen on rtl8187 where struct rtl8187_priv fields are located just
before and after small buffers that are passed to USB layer and DMA
is performed on them.
To fix the problem we align buffers and reserve space after them to make
them match cache line.
This patch does not resolve all possible MIPS problems entirely, for
that we have to assure that we always map cache aligned buffers for DMA,
what can be complex or even not possible. But patch fixes visible and
reproducible regression and seems other possible corruptions do not
happen in practice, since Yeeloong laptop works stable without rtl8187
driver.

It's possible for userland to pass down an iovec via writev() that has a
bogus user pointer in it. If that happens and we're doing an uncached
write, then we can end up getting less bytes than we expect from the
call to iov_iter_copy_from_user. This is CVE-2014-0069
cifs_iovec_write isn't set up to handle that situation however. It'll
blindly keep chugging through the page array and not filling those pages
with anything useful. Worse yet, we'll later end up with a negative
number in wdata->tailsz, which will confuse the sending routines and
cause an oops at the very least.
Fix this by having the copy phase of cifs_iovec_write stop copying data
in this situation and send the last write as a short one. At the same
time, we want to avoid sending a zero-length write to the server, so
break out of the loop and set rc to -EFAULT if that happens. This also
allows us to handle the case where no address in the iovec is valid.
[Note: Marking this for stable on v3.4+ kernels, but kernels as old as
v2.6.38 may have a similar problem and may need similar fix]

The set_flexbg_block_bitmap() function assumed that the number of
blocks in a blockgroup was sb->blocksize * 8, which is normally true,
but not always! Use EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) instead, to fix block
bitmap corruption after:
If a file system has a large number of inodes per block group, all of
the metadata blocks in a flex_bg may be larger than what can fit in a
single block group. Unfortunately, ext4_alloc_group_tables() in
resize.c was never tested to see if it would handle this case
correctly, and there were a large number of bugs which caused the
following sequence to result in a BUG_ON:
To fix this, we need to make sure the right thing happens when a block
group's inode table straddles two block groups, which means the
following bugs had to be fixed:
1) Not clearing the BLOCK_UNINIT flag in the second block group in
ext4_alloc_group_tables --- the was proximate cause of the BUG_ON.
2) Incorrectly determining how many block groups contained contiguous
free blocks in ext4_alloc_group_tables().
3) Incorrectly setting the start of the next block range to be marked
in use after a discontinuity in setup_new_flex_group_blocks().
If an ext4 file system is created by some tool other than mke2fs
(perhaps by someone who has a pathalogical fear of the GPL) that
doesn't set one or the other of the EXT2_FLAGS_{UN}SIGNED_HASH flags,
and that file system is then mounted read-only, don't try to modify
the s_flags field. Otherwise, if dm_verity is in use, the superblock
will change, causing an dm_verity failure.

Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on
that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on
bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than
what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the
entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from
that timestamp.
As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just
allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient.
Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0"
from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be
slightly skewed.

Fix NULL pointer dereference of "chip->pdata" if platform_data was not
supplied to the driver.
The driver during probe stored the pointer to the platform_data:
chip->pdata = client->dev.platform_data;
Later it was dereferenced in max17040_get_online() and
max17040_get_status().
If platform_data was not supplied, the NULL pointer exception would
happen:
When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the
emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing
timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32.
This causes integer underflow in
kernel/time/jiffies.c:
kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]
.mult = NSEC_PER_JIFFY << JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */
^
This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and
hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration:
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
put_online_cpus();
A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.
So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback
registration.

AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine
trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU.
The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the
cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up
CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related
CPU1 bringup looks like this:
So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch
over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then
triggers the warning when we go back to idle.
The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is
that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via
acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the
remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is
already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the
oneshot mask.
The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask
bit when we switch over to highres mode.
Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the
C1E workaround and debugging the fallout. I picked mine, because mine
has a changelog :)

Unfortunately, even with GCC 4.8.2 (which ostensibly fixed the

request_queue bypassing is used to suppress higher-level function of a
request_queue so that they can be switched, reconfigured and shut
down. A request_queue does the followings while bypassing.
* bypasses elevator and io_cq association and queues requests directly
to the FIFO dispatch queue.
* bypasses block cgroup request_list lookup and always uses the root
request_list.
Once confirmed to be bypassing, specific elevator and block cgroup
policy implementations can assume that nothing is in flight for them
and perform various operations which would be dangerous otherwise.
Such confirmation is acheived by short-circuiting all new requests
directly to the dispatch queue and waiting for all the requests which
were issued before to finish. Unfortunately, while the request
allocating and draining sides were properly handled, we forgot to
actually plug the request dispatch path. Even after bypassing mode is
confirmed, if the attached driver tries to fetch a request and the
dispatch queue is empty, __elv_next_request() would invoke the current
elevator's elevator_dispatch_fn() callback. As all in-flight requests
were drained, the elevator wouldn't contain any request but once
bypass is confirmed we don't even know whether the elevator is even
there. It might be in the process of being switched and half torn
down.
Frank Mayhar reports that this actually happened while switching
elevators, leading to an oops.
Let's fix it by making __elv_next_request() avoid invoking the
elevator_dispatch_fn() callback if the queue is bypassing. It already
avoids invoking the callback if the queue is dying. As a dying queue
is guaranteed to be bypassing, we can simply replace blk_queue_dying()
check with blk_queue_bypass().

Unfortunately, the commit didn't fix the case when the range includes both

x <= 0x9 and y >= 0xA -- instead the [x-9A-x] range was produced.

Commit 9df89d85b407690afa46ddfbccc80bec6869971d "usbcore: set

assumption that all USB host controllers should have USB 3.0 Link PM
enabled for all devices under the hosts.

values, and it only sets lpm_capable to one for Intel host controllers
(that have the XHCI_LPM_SUPPORT quirk set).
When LPM is enabled for some Fresco Logic hosts, it causes failures with

People sometimes create their own custom-configured kernels and forget
to enable CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN. This causes problems when they plug
in a USB storage device (such as a card reader) with more than one

have more than one LUN. When that happens, this patch asks the SCSI
layer to probe all the LUNs automatically, regardless of the config
setting.
The patch also updates the Kconfig help text for usb-storage,
explaining that CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN may be necessary.

When the guest attempts to connect with the host when there may already be a
connection with the host (as would be the case during the kdump/kexec path),
it is difficult to guarantee timely response from the host. Starting with
WS2012 R2, the host supports this ability to re-connect with the host
(explicitly to support kexec). Prior to responding to the guest, the host
needs to ensure that device states based on the previous connection to
the host have been properly torn down. This may introduce unbounded delays.
To deal with this issue, don't do a timed wait during the initial connect
with the host.

The last value written to a analog output channel is cached in the

Currently, the wrong value is cached in the (*insn_write) functions.
The current code stores the data[n] value for readback afer the loop

the data array.
Fix the functions by using a local variable to hold the data being

after the loop is complete to store the readback value. The current
value is retrieved before the loop in case no values are actually

3GPP TS 07.10 states in section 5.4.6.3.7:
"The length byte contains the value 2 or 3 ... depending on the break
signal." The break byte is optional and if it is sent, the length is
3. In fact the driver was not able to work with modems that send this
break byte in their modem status control message. If the modem just
sends the break byte if it is really set, then weird things might
happen.
The code for deconding the modem status to the internal linux
presentation in gsm_process_modem has already a big comment about
this 2 or 3 byte length thing and it is already able to decode the
brk, but the code calling the gsm_process_modem function in

If an NFS client attempts to get a lock (using NLM) and the lock is
not available, the server will remember the request and when the lock
becomes available it will send a GRANT request to the client to
provide the lock.
If the client already held an adjacent lock, the GRANT callback will
report the union of the existing and new locks, which can confuse the
client.
This happens because __posix_lock_file (called by vfs_lock_file)
updates the passed-in file_lock structure when adjacent or
over-lapping locks are found.
To avoid this problem we take a copy of the two fields that can
be changed (fl_start and fl_end) before the call and restore them
afterwards.
An alternate would be to allocate a 'struct file_lock', initialise it,
use locks_copy_lock() to take a copy, then locks_release_private()
after the vfs_lock_file() call. But that is a lot more work.

means the test can either be too strict or too lenient. And if the test
ends up being too lenient bind_get() might try to access memory beyond
what was allocated for "raw_devices".

The driver wasn't reading the NVM properly. While this
didn't lead to any issue until now, it seems that there
is an old version of the NVM in the wild.
In this version, the A band channels appear to be valid
but the SKU capabilities (another field of the NVM) says
that A band isn't supported at all.
With this specific version of the NVM, the driver would
think that A band is supported while the HW / firmware
don't. This leads to asserts.
It causes a NULL pointer dereference with drivers using the generic
spi_transfer_one_message(), which always calls
spi_finalize_current_message(), which zeroes master->cur_msg.
Drivers implementing transfer_one_message() theirselves must always call
spi_finalize_current_message(), even if the transfer failed:
* @transfer_one_message: the subsystem calls the driver to transfer a single
* message while queuing transfers that arrive in the meantime. When the
* driver is finished with this message, it must call
* spi_finalize_current_message() so the subsystem can issue the next
* transfer

sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic, hence we can not take mutexes

The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago)
erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust
the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others.
This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data
originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written
at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the
data.
The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then
a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection
becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly
verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to
be wrong
b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into
the air
This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable
of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen
as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally,
fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have
to be configured manually.
ieee80211_start_roc_work() might add a new roc

wpa_supplicant go out of sync.
The get/set ACL xattr support for CIFS ACLs attempts to send old

When mounting with smb2 (or smb2.1 or smb3) we need to check to make
sure that attempts to query or set extended attributes do not
attempt to send the request with the older cifs protocol instead
(eventually we also need to add the support in SMB2
to query/set extended attributes but this patch prevents us from
using the wrong protocol for extended attribute operations).

mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail
page. This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in
madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e47d5e
("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page
after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page.
When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where
memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems
to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes
little sense.
This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid
testing.

Recently due to a spike in connections per second memcached on 3
separate boxes triggered the OOM killer from accept. At the time the
OOM killer was triggered there was 4GB out of 36GB free in zone 1. The
problem was that alloc_fdtable was allocating an order 3 page (32KiB) to
hold a bitmap, and there was sufficient fragmentation that the largest
page available was 8KiB.
I find the logic that PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER can't fail pretty dubious
but I do agree that order 3 allocations are very likely to succeed.
There are always pathologies where order > 0 allocations can fail when
there are copious amounts of free memory available. Using the pigeon
hole principle it is easy to show that it requires 1 page more than 50%
of the pages being free to guarantee an order 1 (8KiB) allocation will
succeed, 1 page more than 75% of the pages being free to guarantee an
order 2 (16KiB) allocation will succeed and 1 page more than 87.5% of
the pages being free to guarantee an order 3 allocate will succeed.
A server churning memory with a lot of small requests and replies like
memcached is a common case that if anything can will skew the odds
against large pages being available.
Therefore let's not give external applications a practical way to kill
linux server applications, and specify __GFP_NORETRY to the kmalloc in
alloc_fdmem. Unless I am misreading the code and by the time the code
reaches should_alloc_retry in __alloc_pages_slowpath (where
__GFP_NORETRY becomes signification). We have already tried everything
reasonable to allocate a page and the only thing left to do is wait. So
not waiting and falling back to vmalloc immediately seems like the
reasonable thing to do even if there wasn't a chance of triggering the
OOM killer.

Due to the way kernel is initialized under Xen is possible that the
ring1 selector used by the kernel for the boot cpu end up to be copied
to userspace leading to segmentation fault in the userspace.
Xen code in the kernel initialize no-boot cpus with correct selectors (ds
and es set to __USER_DS) but the boot one keep the ring1 (passed by Xen).
On task context switch (switch_to) we assume that ds, es and cs already
point to __USER_DS and __KERNEL_CSso these selector are not changed.
If processor is an Intel that support sysenter instruction sysenter/sysexit
is used so ds and es are not restored switching back from kernel to
userspace. In the case the selectors point to a ring1 instead of __USER_DS
the userspace code will crash on first memory access attempt (to be
precise Xen on the emulated iret used to do sysexit will detect and set ds
and es to zero which lead to GPF anyway).
Now if an userspace process call kernel using sysenter and get rescheduled
(for me it happen on a specific init calling wait4) could happen that the
ring1 selector is set to ds and es.
This is quite hard to detect cause after a while these selectors are fixed
(__USER_DS seems sticky).
On hosts with more than 168 GB of memory, a 32-bit guest may attempt
to grant map an MFN that is error cannot lookup in its mapping of the
m2p table. There is an m2p lookup as part of m2p_add_override() and
m2p_remove_override(). The lookup falls off the end of the mapped
portion of the m2p and (because the mapping is at the highest virtual
address) wraps around and the lookup causes a fault on what appears to
be a user space address.
do_page_fault() (thinking it's a fault to a userspace address), tries
to lock mm->mmap_sem. If the gntdev device is used for the grant map,
m2p_add_override() is called from from gnttab_mmap() with mm->mmap_sem
already locked. do_page_fault() then deadlocks.
The deadlock would most commonly occur when a 64-bit guest is started
and xenconsoled attempts to grant map its console ring.
Introduce mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() which checks the MFN is within the
mapped portion of the m2p table before accessing the table and use
this in m2p_add_override(), m2p_remove_override(), and mfn_to_pfn()
(which already had the correct range check).
All faults caused by accessing the non-existant parts of the m2p are
thus within the kernel address space and exception_fixup() is called
without trying to lock mm->mmap_sem.
This means that for MFNs that are outside the mapped range of the m2p
then mfn_to_pfn() will always look in the m2p overrides. This is
correct because it must be a foreign MFN (and the PFN in the m2p in
this case is only relevant for the other domain).
v3: check for auto_translated_physmap in mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides()
v2: in mfn_to_pfn() look in m2p_overrides if the MFN is out of
range as it's probably foreign.
