(cherry picked from commit 2ec0ae3acec47f628179ee95fe2c4da01b5e9fc4)
If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same
time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from
being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause
the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including
potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors
and/or inode table.
This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of
ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page
cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to
replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root
cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for
working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we
could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

(cherry picked from commit 2a8964d63d50dd2d65d71d342bc7fb6ef4117614)
The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk
but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent
preallocation area. That flag should only be set when a get_blocks()
function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping.
When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized
extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag
is no longer appropriate. Hence, we need to make sure the
BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and
BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's
get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin
phase of write(2).

(cherry picked from commit 9c1ee184a30394e54165fa4c15923cabd952c106)
We need to mark the buffer_head mapping preallocated space as new
during write_begin. Otherwise we don't zero out the page cache content
properly for a partial write. This will cause file corruption with
preallocation.
Now that we mark the buffer_head new we also need to have a valid
buffer_head blocknr so that unmap_underlying_metadata() unmaps the
correct block.

Don't try to look at i_file_acl_high unless the INCOMPAT_64BIT feature
bit is set. The field is normally zero, but older versions of e2fsck
didn't automatically check to make sure of this, so in the spirit of

we are using a 64-bit filesystem.

(cherry picked from commit 485c26ec70f823f2a9cf45982b724893e53a859e)
If the block containing external extended attributes (which is stored
in i_file_acl and i_file_acl_high) is larger than the on-disk
filesystem, the process which tried to access the extended attributes
will endlessly issue kernel printks complaining that
"__find_get_block_slow() failed", locking up that CPU until the system
is forcibly rebooted.
So when we read in the inode, make sure the i_file_acl value is legal,
and if not, flag the filesystem as being corrupted.

Add a mount option which allows the user to disable automatic
allocation of blocks whose allocation by delayed allocation when the
file was originally truncated or when the file is renamed over an
existing file. This feature is intended to save users from the
effects of naive application writers, but it reduces the effectiveness
of the delayed allocation code. This mount option disables this
safety feature, which may be desirable for prodcutions systems where
the risk of unclean shutdowns or unexpected system crashes is low.

(cherry picked from commit e6f009b0b45220c004672d41a58865e94946104d)
ext4_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext4_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted
such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to
a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion
on the part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making
a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting
to ls -l said link.
This patch thus changes ext4_lookup to return -EIO if it receives
-ESTALE from ext4_iget(), as ext4 does for other filesystem metadata
corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when
this case is detected.

(cherry picked from commit 2dc6b0d48ca0599837df21b14bb8393d0804af57)
At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes. Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links. Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.
Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

commit 7a6f9cbb37120c745fc187083fb5c3de4dca4f97 upstream.

It partially reverts commit c23e253e67c9d8a91a0ffa33c1f571a17f0a2403
(x86: hpet: stop HPET_COUNTER when programming periodic mode)
HPET on AMD 81xx chipset needs a second write (with HPET_TN_SETVAL
cleared) to T0_CMP register to set the period in periodic mode.
With this patch HPET_COUNTER is still stopped but not reset when HPET
is programmed in periodic mode. This should help to avoid races when
HPET is programmed in periodic mode and fixes a boot time hang that
I've observed on a machine when using 1000HZ.

commit c23e253e67c9d8a91a0ffa33c1f571a17f0a2403 upstream
x86: hpet: stop HPET_COUNTER when programming periodic mode
Impact: fix system hang on some systems operating with HZ_1000
On a system that stalled with HZ_1000, the first value written to
T0_CMP (when the main counter was not stopped) did not trigger an
interrupt. Instead after the main counter wrapped around (after
several minutes) an interrupt was triggered and afterwards the
periodic interrupt took effect.
This can be fixed by implementing HPET spec recommendation for
programming the periodic mode (i.e. stopping the main counter).

When ptrace_detach() takes tasklist, the tracee can be SIGKILL'ed. If it
has already passed exit_notify() we can leak a zombie, because a) ptracing
disables the auto-reaping logic, and b) ->real_parent was not notified

accordingly.

commit 6d69cb87f05eef3b02370b2f7bae608ad2301a00 upstream.
ignoring_children() takes parent->sighand->siglock and checks
k_sigaction[SIGCHLD] atomically. But this buys nothing, we can't get the
"really" wrong result even if we race with sigaction(SIGCHLD). If we read
the "stale" sa_handler/sa_flags we can pretend it was changed right after
the check.
Remove spin_lock(->siglock), and kill "int ign" which caches the result of
ignoring_children() which becomes rather trivial.
Perhaps it makes sense to export this helper, do_notify_parent() can use
it too.

commit 34574dd10b6d0697b86703388d6d6af9cbf4bb48 upstream.
When request_key() is called, without there being any standard process
keyrings on which to fall back if a destination keyring is not specified, an
oops is liable to occur when construct_alloc_key() calls down_write() on
dest_keyring's semaphore.
Due to function inlining this may be seen as an oops in down_write() as called
from request_key_and_link().
This situation crops up during boot, where request_key() is called from within
the kernel (such as in CIFS mounts) where nobody is actually logged in, and so
PAM has not had a chance to create a session keyring and user keyrings to act
as the fallback.
To fix this, make construct_alloc_key() not attempt to cache a key if there is
no fallback key if no destination keyring is given specifically.

address of an uninitialized variable and casting that to an integer.
This is clearly a compiler bug, but it's not worth fighting - while the
current stack kernel pointer might be somewhat hard to predict in user
space, it's also not generally going to change for a lot of the call
chains for a particular process.
So just drop it, and mumble some incoherent curses at the compiler.

commit 8a0a9bd4db63bc45e3017bedeafbd88d0eb84d02 upstream.
It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
"secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.
And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
have a single seed.
Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.
I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
out.

commit 581daf7e00c5e766f26aff80a61a860a17b0d75a upstream.
Add barrier() to bnx2_get_hw_{tx|rx}_cons() to fix this issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12698
This issue was reported by multiple i386 users. Without barrier(),
the compiled code looks like the following where %eax contains the
address of the tx_cons or rx_cons in the DMA status block. The
status block contents can change between the cmpb and the movzwl
instruction. The driver would crash if the value was not 0xff during
the cmpb instruction, but changed to 0xff during the movzwl
instruction.
6828: 80 38 ff cmpb $0xff,(%eax)
682b: 0f b7 10 movzwl (%eax),%edx
With the added barrier(), the compiled code now looks correct:
683d: 0f b7 10 movzwl (%eax),%edx
6840: 0f b6 c2 movzbl %dl,%eax
6843: 3d ff 00 00 00 cmp $0xff,%eax

commit 6909268dc93ae4b0b8e1ebb4b2fa70b1a47dd347 upstream.
pid doesn't count with some band having more bitrates than the one
associated the first time.
Fix that by counting the maximal available bitrate count and allocate
big enough space.
Secondly, fix touching uninitialized memory which causes panics.
Index sucked from this random memory points to the hell.
The fix is to sort the rates on each band change.

commit 8e532175277d9a5eae49768ed086555081f741a7 upstream.
minstrel doesn't count max rate count in fact, since it doesn't use
a loop variable `i' and hence allocs space only for bitrates found in
the first band.
Fix it by involving the `i' as an index so that it traverses all the
bands now and finds the real max bitrate count.

commit 299f5462087f3bc2141e6bc83ba7e2b15d8a07d2 upstream.
We need to be symmetrical in what is done when key is set and cleared.
This is important wrt the key flags as they are used during key
clearing and if they are not set when the key is set the key cannot be
cleared completely.
This addresses the many occurences of the WARN found in
iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info() and tracked in
http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=iwl_set_dynamic_key
If calling iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info()/iwl_remove_dynamic_key()
pair a few times in a row will cause that we run out of key space.
This is because the index stored in the key flags is used by
iwl_remove_dynamic_key() to decide if it should remove the key.
Unfortunately the key flags, and hence the key index is currently only
set at the time the key is written to the device (in
iwl_update_tkip_key()) and _not_ in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().
Fix this by setting flags in iwl_set_tkip_dynamic_key_info().

This fix is only needed for 2.6.29.y tree, since in 2.6.30 and later IGB
has moved to using GRO instead of LRO.
igb supports LRO, but was not setting any hooks to the ->set_flags
ethtool_ops function. This would trigger warnings if the user tried
to enable or disable LRO.

commit ea30e11970a96cfe5e32c03a29332554573b4a10 upstream.
Patch to fix bad length checking in e1000. E1000 by default does two
things:
1) Spans rx descriptors for packets that don't fit into 1 skb on recieve
2) Strips the crc from a frame by subtracting 4 bytes from the length prior to
doing an skb_put
Since the e1000 driver isn't written to support receiving packets that span
multiple rx buffers, it checks the End of Packet bit of every frame, and
discards it if its not set. This places us in a situation where, if we have a
spanning packet, the first part is discarded, but the second part is not (since
it is the end of packet, and it passes the EOP bit test). If the second part of
the frame is small (4 bytes or less), we subtract 4 from it to remove its crc,
underflow the length, and wind up in skb_over_panic, when we try to skb_put a
huge number of bytes into the skb. This amounts to a remote DOS attack through
careful selection of frame size in relation to interface MTU. The fix for this
is already in the e1000e driver, as well as the e1000 sourceforge driver, but no
one ever pushed it to e1000. This is lifted straight from e1000e, and prevents
small frames from causing the underflow described above

This patch is not applicable to Linus's tree as the code in question has
been removed for 2.6.30. I'm sending in case any of the stable
maintainers would like to push to their branches (which I think anything
pre 2.6.30 would like to do).
Ubuntu users were experiencing a kernel panic when they enabled SELinux
due to an old bug in our handling of the compatibility mode network
controls, introduced Jan 1 2008 effad8df44261031a882e1a895415f7186a5098e
Most distros have not used the compat_net code since the new code was
introduced and so noone has hit this problem before. Ubuntu is the only
distro I know that enabled that legacy cruft by default. But, I was ask
to look at it and found that the above patch changed a call to
avc_has_perm from if(send_perm) to if(!send_perm) in
selinux_ip_postroute_iptables_compat(). The result is that users who
turn on SELinux and have compat_net set can (and oftern will) BUG() in
avc_has_perm_noaudit since they are requesting 0 permissions.
This patch corrects that accidental bug introduction.

It is possible for ide-cd to ignore ide_error()'s return value under
some circumstances. Workaround it in ide_intr() and ide_timer_expiry()
by checking if there is a device/port reset pending currently.

which stopped working after we applied more strict checking of
identify words in:

vmx is enabled on random nonexistent cpus and accesses nonexistent percpu

commit 8369d5fa63260cc54464b4687aa6a0f78402d98e upstream.
Since 2.6.26 we support UDMA66 on ATAPI devices requiring IVB quirk:
commit 8588a2b732928b343233af9b1855705b8286bed4
("ide: add SH-S202J to ivb_list[]")
We also later added support for more such devices in:
commit e97564f362a93f8c248246c19828895950341252
("ide: More TSST drives with broken cable detection")
and in:
commit 3ced5c49bd2d1f2c7f769e3a54385883de63a652
("ide: add TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202H to ivb_list[]")
It turns out that such devices lack cable detection altogether
(which in turn results in incorrect detection of 40-wire cables
by our current cable detection strategy) so always handle them
by trusting host-side cable detection only.
v2:
Model detection fixup from Martin.
