commit 2f941622fd88328ca75806c45c9e9709286a0609 upstream.

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 16059 at lib/refcount.c:31 refcount_warn_saturate+0xdf/0xf
[..]
 __nft_mt_tg_destroy+0x42/0x50 [nft_compat]

 nf_tables_rule_destroy+0x3a/0x70 [nf_tables]
 nf_tables_exit_net+0x186/0x3d0 [nf_tables]

Happens when a compat expr is destoyed from abort path.
There is no functional impact; after this work queue is flushed
unconditionally if its pending.

This removes the waitcount optimization.  Test of repeated
iptables-restore of a ~60k kubernetes ruleset doesn't indicate
a slowdown.  In case the counter is needed after all for some workloads
we can revert this and increment the refcount for the
!= NFT_PREPARE_TRANS case to avoid the increment/decrement imbalance.

While at it, also flush for match case, this was an oversight
in the original patch.

commit 869f4fdaf4ca7bb6e0d05caf6fa1108dddc346a7 upstream.

When register_pernet_subsys() fails, nf_nat_bysource
should be freed just like when nf_ct_extend_register()
fails.

commit f6351c3f1c27c80535d76cac2299aec44c36291e upstream.

The old way of changing the conntrack hashsize runtime was through changing
the module param via file /sys/module/nf_conntrack/parameters/hashsize. This
was extended to sysctl change in commit 3183ab8997a4 ("netfilter: conntrack:
allow increasing bucket size via sysctl too").

The commit introduced second "user" variable nf_conntrack_htable_size_user
which shadow actual variable nf_conntrack_htable_size. When hashsize is
changed via module param this "user" variable isn't updated. This results in
sysctl net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_buckets shows the wrong value when users
update via the old way.

This patch fix the issue by always updating "user" variable when reading the
proc file. This will take care of changes to the actual variable without
sysctl need to be aware.

commit 9f65df9c589f249435255da37a5dd11f1bc86f4d upstream.

As snd_fw_async_midi_port.consume_bytes is unsigned int, and
NSEC_PER_SEC is 1000000000L, the second multiplication in

    port-&gt;consume_bytes * 8 * NSEC_PER_SEC / 31250

always overflows on 32-bit platforms, truncating the result.  Fix this
by precalculating "NSEC_PER_SEC / 31250", which is an integer constant.

Note that this assumes port-&gt;consume_bytes &lt;= 16777.

commit 0378c625afe80eb3f212adae42cc33c9f6f31abf upstream.

There wasn't ever a real need to log an error in the kernel log for
ioctls issued with insufficient permissions. Simply return an error
and if an admin/user is sufficiently motivated they can enable DM's
dynamic debugging to see an explanation for why the ioctls were
disallowed.

commit 86b53fbf08f48d353a86a06aef537e78e82ba721 upstream.

A return value of 0 means success. This is documented in lib/kstrtox.c.

This was found by trying to mount an NFS share from a link-local IPv6
address with the interface specified by its index:

  mount("[fe80::1%1]:/srv/nfs", "/mnt", "nfs", 0, "nolock,addr=fe80::1%1")

Before this commit this failed with EINVAL and also caused the following
message in dmesg:

  [...] NFS: bad IP address specified: addr=fe80::1%1

The syscall using the same address based on the interface name instead
of its index succeeds.

Credits for this patch go to my colleague Christian Speich, who traced
the origin of this bug to this line of code.

commit 2d6ffc63f12417b979955a5b22ad9a76d2af5de9 upstream.

The VT-d hardware will ignore those Addr bits which have been masked by
the AM field in the PASID-based-IOTLB invalidation descriptor. As the
result, if the starting address in the descriptor is not aligned with
the address mask, some IOTLB caches might not invalidate. Hence people
will see below errors.

commit 2d6ffc63f12417b979955a5b22ad9a76d2af5de9 upstream.

The VT-d hardware will ignore those Addr bits which have been masked by
the AM field in the PASID-based-IOTLB invalidation descriptor. As the
result, if the starting address in the descriptor is not aligned with
the address mask, some IOTLB caches might not invalidate. Hence people
will see below errors.

<title>mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab() fails</title>

commit 8ff60eb052eeba95cfb3efe16b08c9199f8121cf upstream.

acquire_slab() fails if there is contention on the freelist of the page
(probably because some other CPU is concurrently freeing an object from
the page).  In that case, it might make sense to look for a different page
(since there might be more remote frees to the page from other CPUs, and
we don't want contention on struct page).

However, the current code accidentally stops looking at the partial list
completely in that case.  Especially on kernels without CONFIG_NUMA set,
this means that get_partial() fails and new_slab_objects() falls back to
new_slab(), allocating new pages.  This could lead to an unnecessary
increase in memory fragmentation.
