xen: xenbus driver must not accept invalid transaction ids

2017-11-30T08:35:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 639b08810d6ad74ded2c5f6e233c4fcb9d147168 ]

When accessing Xenstore in a transaction the user is specifying a
transaction id which he normally obtained from Xenstore when starting
the transaction. Xenstore is validating a transaction id against all
known transaction ids of the connection the request came in. As all
requests of a domain not being the one where Xenstore lives share
one connection, validation of transaction ids of different users of
Xenstore in that domain should be done by the kernel of that domain
being the multiplexer between the Xenstore users in that domain and
Xenstore.

In order to prohibit one Xenstore user "hijacking" a transaction from
another user the xenbus driver has to verify a given transaction id
against all known transaction ids of the user before forwarding it to
Xenstore.

ASoC: wm_adsp: Don't overrun firmware file buffer when reading region data

2017-11-30T08:35:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1cab2a84f470e15ecc8e5143bfe9398c6e888032 ]

Protect against corrupt firmware files by ensuring that the length we
get for the data in a region actually lies within the available firmware
file data buffer.

btrfs: return the actual error value from from btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate

2017-11-30T08:35:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 73ba39ab9307340dc98ec3622891314bbc09cc2e ]

In function btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate(), errno is assigned to variable ret
on errors. However, it directly returns 0. It may be better to return
ret. This patch also removes the warning, because the caller already
prints a warning.

When we've destroyed last valid expr, nft_expr_next() returns an invalid expr.
We must not dereference it unless it passes != nft_expr_last() check.

Using smp_processor_id() causes splats with PREEMPT_RCU:

[19379.552780] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: ping/32389

No need to disable preemption since we only fetch the numeric value, so
let's use raw_smp_processor_id() instead.

mac80211: Remove invalid flag operations in mesh TSF synchronization

2017-11-30T08:35:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 76f43b4c0a9337af22827d78de4f2b8fd5328489 ]

mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() implements Extensible synchronization
framework ([1] 13.13.2 Extensible synchronization framework). It shall
not operate the flag "TBTT Adjusting subfield" ([1] 8.4.2.100.8 Mesh
Capability), since it is used only for MBCA ([1] 13.13.4 Mesh beacon
collision avoidance, see 13.13.4.4.3 TBTT scanning and adjustment
procedures for detail). So this patch remove the flag operations.
