In code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translates ioctl arguments
into a in-kernel structure, then performs sys_ioctl, possibly
under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), this commit changes the sys_ioctl
calls to do_ioctl calls. do_ioctl is a new function that does
the same thing as sys_ioctl, but doesn't look up the fd again.
This change is made to avoid (potential) security issues
because of ioctl handlers that accept one of the ioctl
commands I2C_FUNCS, VIDEO_GET_EVENT, MTIOCPOS, MTIOCGET,
TIOCGSERIAL, TIOCSSERIAL, RTC_IRQP_READ, RTC_EPOCH_READ.
This can happen for multiple reasons:
- The ioctl command number could be reused.
- The ioctl handler might not check the full ioctl
command. This is e.g. true for drm_ioctl.
- The ioctl handler is very special, e.g. cuse_file_ioctl
The real issue is that set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is used here,
but that's fixed in a separate commit
"compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS)".
This change mitigates potential security issues by
preventing a race that permits invocation of
unlocked_ioctl handlers under KERNEL_DS through compat
code even if a corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists.
So far, no way has been identified to use this to damage
kernel memory without having CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the init ns
(with the capability, doing reads/writes at arbitrary
kernel addresses should be easy through CUSE's ioctl
handler with FUSE_IOCTL_UNRESTRICTED set).

In sctp_close, sctp_make_abort_user may return NULL because of memory
allocation failure. If this happens, it will bypass any state change
and never free the assoc. The assoc has no chance to be freed and it
will be kept in memory with the state it had even after the socket is
closed by sctp_close().
So if sctp_make_abort_user fails to allocate memory, we should abort
the asoc via sctp_primitive_ABORT as well. Just like the annotation in
sctp_sf_cookie_wait_prm_abort and sctp_sf_do_9_1_prm_abort said,
"Even if we can't send the ABORT due to low memory delete the TCB.
This is a departure from our typical NOMEM handling".
But then the chunk is NULL (low memory) and the SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd would
dereference the chunk pointer, and system crash. So we should add
SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd only when the chunk is not NULL, just like other
places where it adds SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd.

Commit ceb5d58b21 ("net: fix sock_wake_async() rcu protection") from
the current 4.4 release cycle introduced a new flags member in
struct socket_wq and moved SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA
from struct socket's flags member into that new place.
Unfortunately, the new flags field is never initialized properly, at least
not for the struct socket_wq instance created in sock_alloc_inode().
One particular issue I encountered because of this is that my GNU Emacs
failed to draw anything on my desktop -- i.e. what I got is a transparent
window, including the title bar. Bisection lead to the commit mentioned
above and further investigation by means of strace told me that Emacs
is indeed speaking to my Xorg through an O_ASYNC AF_UNIX socket. This is
reproducible 100% of times and the fact that properly initializing the
struct socket_wq ->flags fixes the issue leads me to the conclusion that
somehow SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA got set in the uninitialized ->flags,
preventing my Emacs from receiving any SIGIO's due to data becoming
available and it got stuck.
Make sock_alloc_inode() set the newly created struct socket_wq's ->flags
member to zero.

The total delay of HDMI hotplug detecting with 30ms is sometimes not
enoughtfor HDMI live status up with specific HDMI monitors in BSW platform.
After doing experiments for following monitors, it needs 80ms at least
for those worst cases.
Lenovo L246 1xwA (4 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 58/40/60/40ms)
Philips HH2AP (9 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 80/50/50/60/46/40/58/58/39ms)

HP HP-LP2475w (5 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 70/50/40/60/40ms)
It looks like 70-80 ms is BSW platform needs in some bad cases of the
monitors at this end (8 times delay at most). Keep less than 100ms for
HDCP pulse HPD low (with at least 100ms) to respond a plug out.

"Fix for 3.15 breakage of fcntl64() in arm OABI compat. -stable
fodder"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
[PATCH] arm: fix handling of F_OFD_... in oabi_fcntl64()
mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains
the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct
zone's vm_stat field.
If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a
zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line
mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages);
in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative
result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB
contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative
value.
Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type.
This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB
system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the
rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is
completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop.
This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible
explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state().
Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch
actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system
right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway.
Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does
work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not account for the possibility of missing
sections in the given pfn range. pfn_valid_within always returns 1 when
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not set, allowing invalid pfns from missing
sections to pass the test, leading to a kernel oops.
Wrap an additional pfn loop with PAGES_PER_SECTION granularity to check
for missing sections before proceeding into the zone-check code.
This also prevents a crash from offlining memory devices with missing
sections. Despite this, it may be a good idea to keep the related patch
'[PATCH 3/3] drivers: memory: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with
missing sections' because missing sections in a memory block may lead to
other problems not covered by the scope of this fix.

Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break()
once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a
full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in
mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated
and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup. If the
target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed
the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory
voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the
reference held by the iterator.
The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command
sequence in a loop:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
memhog 150M
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs
rmdir test
The cgroups generated by it will never get freed.
This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking
reference to the current position. In order not to hit use-after-free
bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use
of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying
cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it. This callback
is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we
access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't
go away under us.

When resizing, it firstly extends the last gd. Once it should backup
super in the gd, it calculates new backup super and update the

But it currently doesn't consider the situation that the backup super is
already done. And in this case, it still sets the bit in gd bitmap and
then decrease from bg_free_bits_count, which leads to a corrupted gd and
trigger the BUG in ocfs2_block_group_set_bits:
BUG_ON(le16_to_cpu(bg->bg_free_bits_count) < num_bits);

Commit 5b48bb8506c5 ("openvswitch: Fix helper reference leak") fixed a
reference leak on helper objects, but inadvertently introduced a leak on
the ct template.
Previously, ct_info.ct->general.use was initialized to 0 by
nf_ct_tmpl_alloc() and only incremented when ovs_ct_copy_action()
returned successful. If an error occurred while adding the helper or
adding the action to the actions buffer, the __ovs_ct_free_action()
cleanup would use nf_ct_put() to free the entry; However, this relies on
atomic_dec_and_test(ct_info.ct->general.use). This reference must be
incremented first, or nf_ct_put() will never free it.
Fix the issue by acquiring a reference to the template immediately after
allocation.

"Three late 4.4-rc fixes.
The first two were very small in terms of number of lines, the third
is more lines of change than I like this late in the cycle, but there
are positive test results from Avagotech and from my own test setup
with the target hardware, and given the problem was a 100% failure
case, I sent it through.
- A previous patch updated the mlx4 driver to use vmalloc when there
was not enough memory to get a contiguous region large enough for
our needs, so we need kvfree() whenever we free that item. We
missed one place, so fix that now.
- A previous patch added code to match incoming packets against a
specific device, but failed to compensate for devices that have
both InfiniBand and Ethernet ports. Fix that.
- Under certain vlan conditions, the ocrdma driver would fail to
bring up any vlan interfaces and would print out a circular locking
failure. Fix that"

Recently Dough Ledford reported a deadlock happening
between ocrdma-load sequence and NetworkManager service
issueing "open" on be2net interface.
The deadlock happens when any be2net hook (e.g. open/close) is called
in parallel to insmod ocrdma.ko.
A. be2net is sending administrative open/close event to ocrdma holding
device_list_mutex. It does this from ndo_open/ndo_stop hooks of be2net.
So sequence of locks is rtnl_lock---> device_list lock
B. When new ocrdma roce device gets registered, infiniband stack now
takes rtnl_lock in ib_register_device() in GID initialization routines.
So sequence of locks in this path is device_list lock ---> rtnl_lock.
This improper locking sequence causes deadlock.
In order to resolve the above deadlock condition, ocrdma intorduced a
patch to stop listening to administrative open/close events generated from
be2net driver. It now depends on link-state-change async-event generated from
CNA. This change leaves behind dead code which used to generate administrative
open/close events. This patch cleans-up all that dead code from be2net.

With this patch we stop using administrative open and close events
injected by be2net driver. These events were used to dispatch PORT_ACTIVE
and PORT_ERROR events to the IB-stack. This patch implements a logic
to receive async-link-events generated from CNA whenever link-state-change
is detected. Now on, these async-events will be used to dispatch
PORT_ACTIVE and PORT_ERROR events to IB-stack.
Depending on async-events from CNA removes the need to hold device-list-mutex
and thus breaks the busy-wait scenario.

was his compile setup. He was using ccache with hard links, which allowed
recordmcount to process the same .o twice. When this happens, recordmcount

Russell fixed this by having recordmcount detect that the object file
has more than one hard link, and if it does, it unlinks the object file
after it maps it and processes then. This appears to fix the issue.
As you did not like the fact that recordmcount modified the file in place
and thought that it should do the modifications in memory and then write
it out to disk and move it over the old file to prevent other more subtle
issues like the one above, a second patch is added on top of Russell's to
do just that. Luckily the original code had write and lseek wrappers that
I was able to modify to not do inplace writes, but simply keep track
of the changes made in memory. When a write is made, a "update" flag is
set, and at the end of processing, if the update is set, then it writes
the file with changes out to a new file, and then renames it over the
original one.
The file descriptor is still passed to the write and lseek wrappers because
removing that would cause the change to be more intrusive. That can be
removed in a follow up cleanup patch that can wait till the next merge
window.
