2008-05-01Fix dnotify/close race (CVE-2008-1375)Al Viro
commit 214b7049a7929f03bbd2786aaef04b8b79db34e2 upstream. We have a race between fcntl() and close() that can lead to dnotify_struct inserted into inode's list *after* the last descriptor had been gone from current->files. Since that's the only point where dnotify_struct gets evicted, we are screwed - it will stick around indefinitely. Even after struct file in question is gone and freed. Worse, we can trigger send_sigio() on it at any later point, which allows to send an arbitrary signal to arbitrary process if we manage to apply enough memory pressure to get the page that used to host that struct file and fill it with the right pattern...

2008-05-01ISDN: Do not validate ISDN net device address prior to interface-upPaul Bolle
Commit bada339 (Validate device addr prior to interface-up) caused a regression in the ISDN network code, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9923 The trivial fix is to remove the pointer to eth_validate_addr() in the net_device struct in isdn_net_init().

2008-05-01V4L: cx88: enable radio GPIO correctlySteven Toth
This patch fixes an issue on the HVR1300, where GPIO is blown away due to the radio input being undefined, breaking the functionality of the DVB demodulator and MPEG2 encoder used on the cx8802 mpeg TS port. This is a minimal patch for 2.6.26 and the -stable series. This must be fixed a better way for 2.6.27.

2008-05-01V4L: Fix VIDIOCGAP corruption in ivtvAlan Cox
Frank Bennett reported that ivtv was causing skype to crash. With help from one of their developers he showed it was a kernel problem. VIDIOCGCAP copies a name into a fixed length buffer - ivtv uses names that are too long and does not truncate them so corrupts a few bytes of the app data area. Possibly the names also want trimming but for now this should fix the corruption case.

commit: 07c3b1a1001614442c665570942a3107a722c314 The num_interrupt_in, num_bulk_in, and other checks in the usb-serial code are just wrong, there are too many different devices out there with different numbers of endpoints. We need to just be sticking with the device ids instead of trying to catch this kind of thing. It broke too many different devices.

[ Upstream commit: dd9e0dda66ba38a2ddd1405ac279894260dc5c36 ] This change is necessary to allow cwnd to grow during persistent reordering.

2008-05-01JFFS2: Fix free space leak with in-band cleanmarkersDavid Woodhouse
We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref() (without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size. But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_. Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper lock, while we're at it. Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost) pinpointing the problem.

2008-05-01x86: Fix 32-bit x86 MSI-X allocation leakagePJ Waskiewicz
commit 9d9ad4b51d2b29b5bbeb4011f5e76f7538119cf9 upstream This bug was introduced in the 2.6.24 lguest tree merge, where MSI-X vector allocation will eventually fail. The cause is the new bit array tracking used vectors is not getting cleared properly on IRQ destruction on the 32-bit APIC code. This can be seen easily using the ixgbe 10 GbE driver on multi-core systems by simply loading and unloading the driver a few times. Depending on the number of available vectors on the host system, the MSI-X allocation will eventually fail, and the driver will only be able to use legacy interrupts.

upstream commit: 4cd13504652d28e16bf186c6bb2bbb3725369383 The loop block driver is careful to mask __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS out of its mapping_gfp_mask, to avoid hangs under memory pressure.

2008-04-18locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields
upstream commit: 19e729a928172103e101ffd0829fd13e68c13f78 Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

2008-04-18file capabilities: remove cap_task_kill()Serge Hallyn
upstream commit: aedb60a67c10a0861af179725d060765262ba0fb The original justification for cap_task_kill() was as follows: check_kill_permission() does appropriate uid equivalence checks. However with file capabilities it becomes possible for an unprivileged user to execute a file with file capabilities resulting in a more privileged task with the same uid. However now that cap_task_kill() always returns 0 (permission granted) when p->uid==current->uid, the whole hook is worthless, and only likely to create more subtle problems in the corner cases where it might still be called but return -EPERM. Those cases are basically when uids are different but euid/suid is equivalent as per the check in check_kill_permission(). One example of a still-broken application is 'at' for non-root users.

upstream commit 33fd7afd66ffdc6addf1b085fe6403b6af532f8e We have been printing these messages at KERN_ERR since 2.6.24, per http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535 But KERN_ERR pops up on a console booted with "quiet" and causes users to get alarmed and file bugs about the message itself: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436589 So reduce the severity of these messages to KERN_WARNING, which is not printed by "quiet". This message will still be seen without "quiet", but a lot of messages are printed in that mode and it will be less likely to cause undue alarm.

2008-04-18plip: replace spin_lock_irq with spin_lock_irqsave in irq contextMikulas Patocka
upstream commit: cabce28ec0a0ae3d0ddfa4461f0e8be94ade9e46 Plip uses spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq in its IRQ handler (called from parport IRQ handler), the latter enables interrupts without parport subsystem IRQ handler expecting it. The bug can be seen if you compile kernel with lock dependency checking and use plip --- it produces a warning. This patch changes it to spin_lock_irqsave/spin_lock_irqrestore, so that it doesn't enable interrupts when already disabled.

upstream commit: 1ffc151fcddf524d0c76709d7e7a2af0255acb6b This is to fix bugzilla #10254. QSI cdrom attached to pata_sis as secondary master appears as phantom device for the slave. Interestingly, instead of not setting DRQ after IDENTIFY which triggers NODEV_HINT, it aborts both IDENTIFY and IDENTIFY PACKET which makes EH retry. Modify EH such that it assumes no device is attached if both flavors of IDENTIFY are aborted by the device. There really isn't much point in retrying when the device actively aborts the commands. While at it, convert NODEV detection message to ata_dev_printk() to help debugging obscure detection problems. This problem was reported by Jan Bücken.

2008-04-18TCP: Let skbs grow over a page on fast peersHerbert Xu
Upstream commit: 69d1506731168d6845a76a303b2c45f7c05f3f2c While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller than a page. Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can always be sent immediately. The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal. This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436 MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than 16436. I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections, but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that those cases don't regress.

2008-04-18TCP: Fix shrinking windows with window scalingPatrick McHardy
Upstream commit: 607bfbf2d55dd1cfe5368b41c2a81a8c9ccf4723 When selecting a new window, tcp_select_window() tries not to shrink the offered window by using the maximum of the remaining offered window size and the newly calculated window size. The newly calculated window size is always a multiple of the window scaling factor, the remaining window size however might not be since it depends on rcv_wup/rcv_nxt. This means we're effectively shrinking the window when scaling it down. The dump below shows the problem (scaling factor 2^7): - Window size of 557 (71296) is advertised, up to 3111907257: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . ack 3111835961 win 557 <...> - New window size of 514 (65792) is advertised, up to 3111907217, 40 bytes below the last end: IP 172.2.2.3.33000 > 172.2.2.2.33000: . 3113575668:3113577116(1448) ack 3111841425 win 514 <...> The number 40 results from downscaling the remaining window: 3111907257 - 3111841425 = 65832 65832 / 2^7 = 514 65832 % 2^7 = 40 If the sender uses up the entire window before it is shrunk, this can have chaotic effects on the connection. When sending ACKs, tcp_acceptable_seq() will notice that the window has been shrunk since tcp_wnd_end() is before tp->snd_nxt, which makes it choose tcp_wnd_end() as sequence number. This will fail the receivers checks in tcp_sequence() however since it is before it's tp->rcv_wup, making it respond with a dupack. If both sides are in this condition, this leads to a constant flood of ACKs until the connection times out. Make sure the window is never shrunk by aligning the remaining window to the window scaling factor. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
