jbd2: Fix use after free after error in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()

2013-08-20T15:43:05+00:00

commit 91aa11fae1cf8c2fd67be0609692ea9741cdcc43 upstream.

When jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() returns error,
__ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() stops the handle. However callers of this
function do not count with that fact and still happily used now freed
handle. This use after free can result in various issues but very likely
we oops soon.

The motivation of adding __ext4_journal_stop() into
__ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() in commit 9ea7a0df seems to be only to
improve error reporting. So replace __ext4_journal_stop() with
ext4_journal_abort_handle() which was there before that commit and add
WARN_ON_ONCE() to dump stack to provide useful information.

m68k/atari: ARAnyM - Fix NatFeat module support

2013-08-20T15:43:05+00:00

commit e8184e10f89736a23ea6eea8e24cd524c5c513d2 upstream.

As pointed out by Andreas Schwab, pointers passed to ARAnyM NatFeat calls
should be physical addresses, not virtual addresses.

Fortunately on Atari, physical and virtual kernel addresses are the same,
as long as normal kernel memory is concerned, so this usually worked fine
without conversion.

But for modules, pointers to literal strings are located in vmalloc()ed
memory. Depending on the version of ARAnyM, this causes the nf_get_id()
call to just fail, or worse, crash ARAnyM itself with e.g.

    Gotcha! Illegal memory access. Atari PC = $968c

This is a big issue for distro kernels, who want to have all drivers as
loadable modules in an initrd.

Add a wrapper for nf_get_id() that copies the literal to the stack to
work around this issue.

m68k: Truncate base in do_div()

2013-08-20T15:43:05+00:00

commit ea077b1b96e073eac5c3c5590529e964767fc5f7 upstream.

Explicitly truncate the second operand of do_div() to 32 bits to guard

[Geert]

As diagnosed by Andreas, fs/btrfs/volumes.c:__btrfs_map_block()
calls

    do_div(stripe_nr, stripe_len);

with stripe_len u64, while do_div() assumes the divisor is a 32-bit number.

Due to the lack of truncation in the m68k-specific implementation of
do_div(), the division is performed using the upper 32-bit word of
stripe_len, which is zero.

This was introduced by commit 53b381b3abeb86f12787a6c40fee9b2f71edc23b
("Btrfs: RAID5 and RAID6"), which changed the divisor from
map->stripe_len (struct map_lookup.stripe_len is int) to a 64-bit temporary.

ARM: 7809/1: perf: fix event validation for software group leaders

2013-08-20T15:43:05+00:00

commit c95eb3184ea1a3a2551df57190c81da695e2144b upstream.

It is possible to construct an event group with a software event as a
group leader and then subsequently add a hardware event to the group.
This results in the event group being validated by adding all members
of the group to a fake PMU and attempting to allocate each event on
their respective PMU.

Unfortunately, for software events wthout a corresponding arm_pmu, this
results in a kernel crash attempting to dereference the ->get_event_idx
function pointer.

This patch fixes the problem by checking explicitly for software events
and ignoring those in event validation (since they can always be
scheduled). We will probably want to revisit this for 3.12, since the
validation checks don't appear to work correctly when dealing with
multiple hardware PMUs anyway.

Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases

2013-08-20T15:43:05+00:00

commit 2b047252d087be7f2ba088b4933cd904f92e6fce upstream.

Ben Tebulin reported:

 "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
  repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
  failures.  This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
  reproduced stably on two independent laptops.  Git mailing list ran
  out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"

and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").

That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.

The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered.  It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.

The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB.  And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.

Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.

This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler.  And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.

Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

wusbcore: fix kernel panic when disconnecting a wireless USB->serial device

2013-08-20T15:43:05+00:00

commit ec58fad1feb76c323ef47efff1d1e8660ed4644c upstream.

This patch fixes a kernel panic that can occur when disconnecting a
wireless USB->serial device.  When the serial device disconnects, the
device cleanup procedure ends up calling usb_hcd_disable_endpoint on the
serial device's endpoints.  The wusbcore uses the ABORT_RPIPE command to
abort all transfers on the given endpoint but it does not properly give
back the URBs when the transfer results return from the HWA.  This patch
prevents the transfer result processing code from bailing out when it sees
a WA_XFER_STATUS_ABORTED result code so that these urbs are flushed
properly by usb_hcd_disable_endpoint.  It also updates wa_urb_dequeue to
handle the case where the endpoint has already been cleaned up when
usb_kill_urb is called which is where the panic originally occurred.

PM / QoS: Fix workqueue deadlock when using pm_qos_update_request_timeout()

2013-08-20T15:43:05+00:00

commit 40fea92ffb5fa0ef26d10ae0fe5688bc8e61c791 upstream.

pm_qos_update_request_timeout() updates a qos and then schedules
a delayed work item to bring the qos back down to the default
after the timeout. When the work item runs, pm_qos_work_fn() will
call pm_qos_update_request() and deadlock because it tries to
cancel itself via cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Future callers of
that qos will also hang waiting to cancel the work that is
canceling itself. Let's extract the little bit of code that does
the real work of pm_qos_update_request() and call it from the
work function so that we don't deadlock.

Before ed1ac6e (PM: don't use [delayed_]work_pending()) this didn't
happen because the work function wouldn't try to cancel itself.
