mm, hwpoison: fixup "mm: check the return value of lookup_page_ext for all call sites"

2017-11-24T10:26:29+00:00

Backport of the upstream commit f86e4271978b ("mm: check the return
value of lookup_page_ext for all call sites") is wrong for hwpoison
pages. I have accidentally negated the condition for bailout. This
basically disables hwpoison pages tracking while the code still
might crash on unusual configurations when struct pages do not have
page_ext allocated. The fix is trivial to invert the condition.

mm/pagewalk.c: report holes in hugetlb ranges

2017-11-24T07:32:25+00:00

commit 373c4557d2aa362702c4c2d41288fb1e54990b7c upstream.

This matters at least for the mincore syscall, which will otherwise copy
uninitialized memory from the page allocator to userspace.  It is
probably also a correctness error for /proc/$pid/pagemap, but I haven't
tested that.

Removing the `walk->hugetlb_entry` condition in walk_hugetlb_range() has
no effect because the caller already checks for that.

This only reports holes in hugetlb ranges to callers who have specified
a hugetlb_entry callback.

This issue was found using an AFL-based fuzzer.

v2:
 - don't crash on ->pte_hole==NULL (Andrew Morton)
 - add Cc stable (Andrew Morton)

Changed for 4.4/4.9 stable backport:
 - fix up conflict in the huge_pte_offset() call

mm/page_ext.c: check if page_ext is not prepared

2017-11-24T07:32:25+00:00

commit e492080e640c2d1235ddf3441cae634cfffef7e1 upstream.

online_page_ext() and page_ext_init() allocate page_ext for each
section, but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn)
or !pfn_valid(pfn).  Then section->page_ext remains as NULL.
lookup_page_ext checks NULL only if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.  For a
valid PFN, __set_page_owner will try to get page_ext through
lookup_page_ext.  Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM lookup_page_ext will misuse
NULL pointer as value 0.  This incurrs invalid address access.

This is the panic example when PFN 0x100000 is not valid but PFN
0x13FC00 is being used for page_ext.  section->page_ext is NULL,
get_entry returned invalid page_ext address as 0x1DFA000 for a PFN
0x13FC00.

To avoid this panic, CONFIG_DEBUG_VM should be removed so that page_ext
will be checked at all times.

mm: check the return value of lookup_page_ext for all call sites

2017-11-24T07:32:25+00:00

commit f86e4271978bd93db466d6a95dad4b0fdcdb04f6 upstream.

Per the discussion with Joonsoo Kim [1], we need check the return value
of lookup_page_ext() for all call sites since it might return NULL in
some cases, although it is unlikely, i.e.  memory hotplug.

Tested with ltp with "page_owner=0".

coda: fix 'kernel memory exposure attempt' in fsync

2017-11-24T07:32:25+00:00

commit d337b66a4c52c7b04eec661d86c2ef6e168965a2 upstream.

When an application called fsync on a file in Coda a small request with
just the file identifier was allocated, but the declared length was set
to the size of union of all possible upcall requests.

This bug has been around for a very long time and is now caught by the
extra checking in usercopy that was introduced in Linux-4.8.

The exposure happens when the Coda cache manager process reads the fsync
upcall request at which point it is killed. As a result there is nobody
servicing any further upcalls, trapping any processes that try to access
the mounted Coda filesystem.

mm/page_alloc.c: broken deferred calculation

2017-11-24T07:32:25+00:00

commit d135e5750205a21a212a19dbb05aeb339e2cbea7 upstream.

In reset_deferred_meminit() we determine number of pages that must not
be deferred.  We initialize pages for at least 2G of memory, but also
pages for reserved memory in this node.

The reserved memory is determined in this function:
memblock_reserved_memory_within(), which operates over physical
addresses, and returns size in bytes.  However, reset_deferred_meminit()
assumes that that this function operates with pfns, and returns page
count.

The result is that in the best case machine boots slower than expected
due to initializing more pages than needed in single thread, and in the
worst case panics because fewer than needed pages are initialized early.

ipmi: fix unsigned long underflow

2017-11-24T07:32:25+00:00

commit 392a17b10ec4320d3c0e96e2a23ebaad1123b989 upstream.

When I set the timeout to a specific value such as 500ms, the timeout
event will not happen in time due to the overflow in function
check_msg_timeout:
...
	ent->timeout -= timeout_period;
	if (ent->timeout > 0)
		return;
...

The type of timeout_period is long, but ent->timeout is unsigned long.
This patch makes the type consistent.
