workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

commit 0a94efb5acbb6980d7c9ab604372d93cd507e4d8 upstream.

5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be
ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound
workqueues w/ max_active == 1.  Because ordered workqueues reject
max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode
broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active
== 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes.

This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and
overrides from attribute changes if implict.

net: phy: Fix PHY unbind crash

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

commit 7b9a88a390dacb37b051a7b09b9a08f546edf5eb upstream.

The PHY library does not deal very well with bind and unbind events. The first
thing we would see is that we were not properly canceling the PHY state machine
workqueue, so we would be crashing while dereferencing phydev->drv since there
is no driver attached anymore.

ipv4: Should use consistent conditional judgement for ip fragment in __ip_append_data and ip_finish_output

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0a28cfd51e17f4f0a056bcf66bfbe492c3b99f38 ]

There is an inconsistent conditional judgement in __ip_append_data and
ip_finish_output functions, the variable length in __ip_append_data just
include the length of application's payload and udp header, don't include
the length of ip header, but in ip_finish_output use
(skb->len > ip_skb_dst_mtu(skb)) as judgement, and skb->len include the
length of ip header.

That causes some particular application's udp payload whose length is
between (MTU - IP Header) and MTU were fragmented by ip_fragment even
though the rst->dev support UFO feature.

Add the length of ip header to length in __ip_append_data to keep
consistent conditional judgement as ip_finish_output for ip fragment.

mm: don't dereference struct page fields of invalid pages

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit f073bdc51771f5a5c7a8d1191bfc3ae371d44de7 ]

The VM_BUG_ON() check in move_freepages() checks whether the node id of
a page matches the node id of its zone.  However, it does this before
having checked whether the struct page pointer refers to a valid struct
page to begin with.  This is guaranteed in most cases, but may not be
the case if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=y.

So reorder the VM_BUG_ON() with the pfn_valid_within() check.

signal: protect SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE from unintentional clearing.

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34e6d323720d4c61bd714f5ae202c022 ]

Since commit 00cd5c37afd5 ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we
can now trace init processes.  init is initially protected with
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but
there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can
be implicitly cleared.

This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing.  For
example, running:

  while true; do kill -STOP 1; done &
  strace -p 1

and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being
left in state TASK_STOPPED.  Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but
init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring
them.

Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.

lib/Kconfig.debug: fix frv build failure

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit da0510c47519fe0999cffe316e1d370e29f952be ]

The build of frv allmodconfig was failing with the errors like:

  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1839: Error: symbol `.LSLT0' is already defined
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1842: Error: symbol `.LASLTP0' is already defined
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1969: Error: symbol `.LELTP0' is already defined
  /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1970: Error: symbol `.LELT0' is already defined

Commit 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4") introduced
splitting the debug info and keeping that in a separate file.  Somehow,
the frv-linux gcc did not like that and I am guessing that instead of
splitting it started copying.  The first report about this is at:

  https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2015-July/010527.html.

I will try and see if this can work with frv and if still fails I will
open a bug report with gcc.  But meanwhile this is the easiest option to
solve build failure of frv.

mm, slab: make sure that KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE will fit into MAX_ORDER

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb1107f7c6052c863692a41f78c000db792334bf ]

Andrey Konovalov has reported the following warning triggered by the
syzkaller fuzzer.

The issue is caused by a lack of size check for the request size in
ep_write_iter which should be fixed.  It, however, points to another
problem, that SLUB defines KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE too large because the its
KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX is (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT) which means that the
resulting page allocator request might be MAX_ORDER which is too large
(see __alloc_pages_slowpath).

The same applies to the SLOB allocator which allows even larger sizes.
Make sure that they are capped properly and never request more than
MAX_ORDER order.

ARM: 8632/1: ftrace: fix syscall name matching

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 270c8cf1cacc69cb8d99dea812f06067a45e4609 ]

ARM has a few system calls (most notably mmap) for which the names of
the functions which are referenced in the syscall table do not match the
names of the syscall tracepoints.  As a consequence of this, these
tracepoints are not made available.  Implement
arch_syscall_match_sym_name to fix this and allow tracing even these
system calls.

scsi: qla2xxx: Get mutex lock before checking optrom_state

2017-08-11T16:30:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit c7702b8c22712a06080e10f1d2dee1a133ec8809 ]

There is a race condition with qla2xxx optrom functions where one thread
might modify optrom buffer, optrom_state while other thread is still
reading from it.

In couple of crashes, it was found that we had successfully passed the
following 'if' check where we confirm optrom_state to be
QLA_SREADING. But by the time we acquired mutex lock to proceed with
memory_read_from_buffer function, some other thread/process had already
modified that option rom buffer and optrom_state from QLA_SREADING to
QLA_SWAITING. Then we got ha->optrom_buffer 0x0 and crashed the system:

        if (ha->optrom_state != QLA_SREADING)
                return 0;

        mutex_lock(&ha->optrom_mutex);
        rval = memory_read_from_buffer(buf, count, &off, ha->optrom_buffer,
            ha->optrom_region_size);
        mutex_unlock(&ha->optrom_mutex);

With current optrom function we get following crash due to a race
condition:

[ 1479.466679] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
[ 1479.466707] IP: [] memcpy+0x6/0x110

Below patch modifies qla2x00_sysfs_read_optrom,
qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom functions to get the mutex_lock before
checking ha->optrom_state to avoid similar crashes.

The patch was applied and tested and same crashes were no longer
observed again.
