x86: Fix mmap random address range

commit 9af0c7a6fa860698d080481f24a342ba74b68982 upstream.

On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to
long may result in a negative value.  On x86_32 the range of
mmap_rnd() therefore was -255 to 255.  The 32bit mode on x86_64
used 0 to 255 as intended.

The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c")
in January 2008.

13 years agomemcg: add mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() to fix LRU issue
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki [Fri, 13 Jan 2012 01:17:44 +0000 (17:17 -0800)]
memcg: add mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() to fix LRU issue

commit ab936cbcd02072a34b60d268f94440fd5cf1970b upstream.

Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a
function replace_page_cache_page().  This function replaces a page in the
radix-tree with a new page.  WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix
up the accounting information.  memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc.

In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling
replace_page_cache().  So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be
fixed, too.

This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks.
 In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching
res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page).
WHen overwriting pc->mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone->lru_lock and avoid
races with LRU handling.

Background:
  replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling.
  Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated
  page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup
  because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak.
  If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail.

This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet.  I guess there
are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream
kernels.

The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of
account leak.  So, no panic, no deadlock.  And, even if an active cgroup
exist, umount can succseed.  So no problem at shutdown.

It is possible current thread migrates right before disabling irqs in

Haogang Chen found out that:

 There is a potential integer overflow in process_msg() that could result
 in cross-domain attack.

  body = kmalloc(msg->hdr.len + 1, GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH);

 When a malicious guest passes 0xffffffff in msg->hdr.len, the subsequent
 call to xb_read() would write to a zero-length buffer.

 The other end of this connection is always the xenstore backend daemon
 so there is no guest (malicious or otherwise) which can do this. The
 xenstore daemon is a trusted component in the system.

 However this seem like a reasonable robustness improvement so we should
 have it.

And Ian when read the API docs found that:
        The payload length (len field of the header) is limited to 4096
        (XENSTORE_PAYLOAD_MAX) in both directions.  If a client exceeds the
        limit, its xenstored connection will be immediately killed by
        xenstored, which is usually catastrophic from the client's point of
        view.  Clients (particularly domains, which cannot just reconnect)
        should avoid this.

so this patch checks against that instead.

This also avoids a potential integer overflow pointed out by Haogang Chen.

The amount of memory required for tracking chain buffers is rather

limitation can be overridden this using the command line option

I traced a nasty kexec on panic boot failure to the fact that we had
screaming msi interrupts and we were not disabling the msi messages at
kernel startup.  The booting kernel had not enabled those interupts so
was not prepared to handle them.

I can see no reason why we would ever want to leave the msi interrupts
enabled at boot if something else has enabled those interrupts.  The pci
spec specifies that msi interrupts should be off by default.  Drivers
are expected to enable the msi interrupts if they want to use them.  Our
interrupt handling code reprograms the interrupt handlers at boot and
will not be be able to do anything useful with an unexpected interrupt.

commit e801e128b2200c40a0ec236cf2330b2586b6e05a upstream.

Under some cases, when scrubbing the PEB if we did not get the lock on
the PEB it fails to scrub. Add that PEB again to the scrub list

13 years agonfs: fix regression in handling of context= option in NFSv4

nfs: fix regression in handling of context= option in NFSv4

commit 8a0d551a59ac92d8ff048d6cb29d3a02073e81e8 upstream.

Setting the security context of a NFSv4 mount via the context= mount
option is currently broken. The NFSv4 codepath allocates a parsed
options struct, and then parses the mount options to fill it. It
eventually calls nfs4_remote_mount which calls security_init_mnt_opts.
That clobbers the lsm_opts struct that was populated earlier. This bug
also looks like it causes a small memory leak on each v4 mount where
context= is used.

Fix this by moving the initialization of the lsm_opts into
nfs_alloc_parsed_mount_data. Also, add a destructor for
nfs_parsed_mount_data to make it easier to free all of the allocations
hanging off of it, and to ensure that the security_free_mnt_opts is
called whenever security_init_mnt_opts is.

I believe this regression was introduced quite some time ago, probably
by commit c02d7adf.

13 years agoNFSv4: include bitmap in nfsv4 get acl data

NFSv4: include bitmap in nfsv4 get acl data

commit bf118a342f10dafe44b14451a1392c3254629a1f upstream.

The NFSv4 bitmap size is unbounded: a server can return an arbitrary
sized bitmap in an FATTR4_WORD0_ACL request.  Replace using the
nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz as a guess to the maximum bitmask returned by a server
with the inclusion of the bitmap (xdr length plus bitmasks) and the acl data
xdr length to the (cached) acl page data.

This is a general solution to commit e5012d1f "NFSv4.1: update
nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz" and fixes hitting a BUG_ON in xdr_shrink_bufhead
when getting ACLs.

Fix a bug in decode_getacl that returned -EINVAL on ACLs > page when getxattr
was called with a NULL buffer, preventing ACL > PAGE_SIZE from being retrieved.

NFS - fix recent breakage to NFS error handling.

Subject: NFS - fix recent breakage to NFS error handling.

commit 02c24a82187d5a628c68edfe71ae60dc135cd178 made a small and
presumably unintended change to write error handling in NFS.

Previously an error from filemap_write_and_wait_range would only be of
interest if nfs_file_fsync did not return an error.  After this commit,
an error from filemap_write_and_wait_range would mean that (the rest of)
nfs_file_fsync would not even be called.

This means that:
 1/ you are more likely to see EIO than e.g. EDQUOT or ENOSPC.
 2/ NFS_CONTEXT_ERROR_WRITE remains set for longer so more writes are
    synchronous.

This patch restores previous behaviour.

13 years agoNFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT
Chuck Lever [Mon, 5 Dec 2011 20:40:30 +0000 (15:40 -0500)]
NFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT

commit 43717c7daebf10b43f12e68512484b3095bb1ba5 upstream.

Lukas Razik <linux@razik.name> reports that on his SPARC system,
booting with an NFS root file system stopped working after commit
56463e50 "NFS: Use super.c for NFSROOT mount option parsing."

We found that the network switch to which Lukas' client was attached
was delaying access to the LAN after the client's NIC driver reported
that its link was up.  The delay was longer than the timeouts used in
the NFS client during mounting.

NFSROOT worked for Lukas before commit 56463e50 because in those
kernels, the client's first operation was an rpcbind request to
determine which port the NFS server was listening on.  When that
request failed after a long timeout, the client simply selected the
default NFS port (2049).  By that time the switch was allowing access
to the LAN, and the mount succeeded.

Neither of these client behaviors is desirable, so reverting 56463e50
is really not a choice.  Instead, introduce a mechanism that retries
the NFSROOT mount request several times.  This is the same tactic that
normal user space NFS mounts employ to overcome server and network
delays.
