      Input: matrix-keymap - provide proper module license · 55220bb3
      Florian Fainelli authored
      
      The matrix-keymap module is currently lacking a proper module license,
      add one so we don't have this module tainting the entire kernel.  This
      issue has been present since commit 1932811f ("Input: matrix-keymap
      - uninline and prepare for device tree support")

       1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks.
      
          In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code
          interpreter could access past the end of the address in the
          inet_request_sock.
      
          Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated
          properly at all.
      
          This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain
          kernel data structures.
      
          Fixes from Neal Cardwell.
      
       2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process
          of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols
          (specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).
      
          Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
          backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared.  It
          very much can be shared in this context.
      
          Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
          skb_copy_bits().
      
          Fix from Johannes Berg based upon a report by Eric Leblond.

      Revert "revert "Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD""" and associated damage · caf49191
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      This reverts commits a5091539 and
      d7c3b937.
      
      This is a revert of a revert of a revert.  In addition, it reverts the
      even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
      original commits in linux-next.
      
      It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
      original revert was the correct thing to do after all.  We thought we
      had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
      really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
      do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.
      
      When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
      and if that fails, fail the allocation.  That's the right thing to do
      for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
      to do that too.
      
      So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
      said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake.  Let's hope we never revisit
      this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

      ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing · 1bf3751e
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the
      RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify
      the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation.
      Use skb_copy_bits() to get the IP header and only pull in
      everything later.
      
      The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is
      called from dev->rx_handler which can also get a shared SKB.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      This reverts commit 782fd304.
      
      We are going to reinstate the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag that has been
      removed, the removal reverted, and then removed again.  Making this
      commit a pointless fixup for a problem that was caused by the removal of
      __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag.
      
      The thing is, we really don't want to wake up kswapd for THP allocations
      (because they fail quite commonly under any kind of memory pressure,
      including when there is tons of memory free), and these patches were
      just trying to fix up the underlying bug: the original removal of
      __GFP_NO_KSWAPD in commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD")
      was simply bogus.

      inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads · 5e1f5420
      Neal Cardwell authored
      
      Add logic to verify that a port comparison byte code operation
      actually has the second inet_diag_bc_op from which we read the port
      for such operations.
      
      Previously the code blindly referenced op[1] without first checking
      whether a second inet_diag_bc_op struct could fit there. So a
      malicious user could make the kernel read 4 bytes beyond the end of
      the bytecode array by claiming to have a whole port comparison byte
      code (2 inet_diag_bc_op structs) when in fact the bytecode was not
      long enough to hold both.

      inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run() · f67caec9
      Neal Cardwell authored
      
      Add logic to check the address family of the user-supplied conditional
      and the address family of the connection entry. We now do not do
      prefix matching of addresses from different address families (AF_INET
      vs AF_INET6), except for the previously existing support for having an
      IPv4 prefix match an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (which this commit
      maintains as-is).
      
      This change is needed for two reasons:
      
      (1) The addresses are different lengths, so comparing a 128-bit IPv6
      prefix match condition to a 32-bit IPv4 connection address can cause
      us to unwittingly walk off the end of the IPv4 address and read
      garbage or oops.
      
      (2) The IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are semantically distinct, so a
      simple bit-wise comparison of the prefixes is not meaningful, and
      would lead to bogus results (except for the IPv4-mapped IPv6 case,
      which this commit maintains).

      Previously we did not validate the inet_diag_hostcond, address family,

      whole inet_diag_hostcond when the bytecode was not long enough to
      contain a whole inet_diag_hostcond of the given address family. Or
      they could make the kernel read up to about 27 bytes beyond the end of
      a connection address by passing a prefix length that exceeded the
      length of addresses of the given family.

      inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state · 1c95df85
      Neal Cardwell authored
      
      Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections
      instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually
      created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This
      means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a
      random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the
      request_sock.
      
      With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving
      IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to
      inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16
      bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where
      the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.

      mm: vmscan: fix inappropriate zone congestion clearing · ed23ec4f
      Johannes Weiner authored
      
      commit c702418f ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due
      to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from
      the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing,
      which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim.
      
      This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with
      dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion
      status when their watermarks have been restored.
      
      Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely.  The
      preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if
      the zone is considered balanced.

      vfs: fix O_DIRECT read past end of block device · 684c9aae
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,
      but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size
      checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make
      private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of
      the device" code there.
      
      Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
      write path already does.
      
      NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
      way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c.  The
      mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
      conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
      to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
      inode timestamp etc).
      
      It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
      size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more
      generic.  However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted
      fix.

      commit 2e71a6f8 (net: gro: selective flush of packets) added
      a bug for skbs using frag_list. This part of the GRO stack is rarely

      Most drivers do use a page fragment, but some of them use GFP_KERNEL
      allocations for the initial fill of their RX ring buffer.
      
      napi_gro_flush() overwrite skb->prev that was used for these skb to
      point to the last skb in frag_list.
      
      Fix this using a separate field in struct napi_gro_cb to point to the

      tcp: bug fix Fast Open client retransmission · 93b174ad
      Yuchung Cheng authored
      
      If SYN-ACK partially acks SYN-data, the client retransmits the
      remaining data by tcp_retransmit_skb(). This increments lost recovery
      state variables like tp->retrans_out in Open state. If loss recovery
      happens before the retransmission is acked, it triggers the WARN_ON
      check in tcp_fastretrans_alert(). For example: the client sends
      SYN-data, gets SYN-ACK acking only ISN, retransmits data, sends
      another 4 data packets and get 3 dupacks.
      
      Since the retransmission is not caused by network drop it should not
      update the recovery state variables. Further the server may return a
      smaller MSS than the cached MSS used for SYN-data, so the retranmission
      needs a loop. Otherwise some data will not be retransmitted until timeout
      or other loss recovery events.

      The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread

      code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non

       "So, safe fixes my ass.
      
        Commit 8852aac2 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
        timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work
        sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
        use cases.
      
        Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious.  It seemingly
        wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
        introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
        as it was only going to use 0 @delay.  So, it only allocated space for
        struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
        it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
        save some bytes.
      
        Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
        now.  It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
        but I think we better do that after 3.7.
      
        I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work()
        to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are

      By using the native syscall entry point the kernel was also expecting
      64-bit iovec structures.
      
      This is broken since ddd9e91b [preadv/
      pwritev: MIPS: Add preadv(2) and pwritev(2) syscalls.] which originally
      added these two syscalls.  I walked through piles of code, including
      libc and couldn't find anything that would have worked around the issue
      so this change the API to what it should always have been.
      
      Noticed and patch suggested by Al Viro.

      Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
       "Two small fixes for Sparc, nobody uses sparc, so these are low risk :-)
      
         1) Piggyback is too picky about the symbol types that _start and _end
            have in the final kernel image, and it thus breaks with newer
            binutils.  Future proof by getting rid of the symbol type checks.
      
         2) exit_group() should kill register windows on sparc64 the same way
            we do for plain exit().  Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this."

      vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warnings · 57302e0d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy)
      block size information (commit bbec0270: "blkdev_max_block: make
      private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the
      block mapping path.
      
      That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because
      the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so
      under normal circumstances it "just worked".
      
      However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may
      straddle one single buffer_head.  At which point we may still want to
      access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it
      partially extends past the end.
      
      The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid
      this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to
      some other value - can modify that block size.
      
      So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer
      head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a
      smaller IO access, avoiding the problem.
      
      This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole
      device regardless of device block size setting.  So now, even if the
      device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the
      last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the
      rest of the device.
      
      So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size
      code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that
      would be a separate patch.
