Signing a module should only make it trusted by the specific kernel it was built for, not anything else. If a module signing key is used for multiple ABI-incompatible kernels, the modules need to include enough version information to distinguish them.

Signing a module should only make it trusted by the specific kernel it
was built for, not anything else.  If a module signing key is used for
multiple ABI-incompatible kernels, the modules need to include enough

scsi: fix race between simultaneous decrements of ->host_failed 2016-07-27T16:55:51+00:00 Wei Fang fangwei1@huawei.com 2016-06-07T06:53:56+00:00 44df69e75e1c6b8e4f3e55d4b7977726392d511e commit 72d8c36ec364c82bf1bf0c64dfa1041cfaf139f7 upstream. sas_ata_strategy_handler() adds the works of the ata error handler to system_unbound_wq. This workqueue asynchronously runs work items, so the ata error handler will be performed concurrently on different CPUs. In this case, ->host_failed will be decreased simultaneously in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() on different CPUs, and become abnormal. It will lead to permanently inequality between ->host_failed and ->host_busy, and scsi error handler thread won't start running. IO errors after that won't be handled. Since all scmds must have been handled in the strategy handler, just remove the decrement in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() and zero ->host_busy after the strategy handler to fix this race.

pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipes 2016-06-24T17:15:30+00:00 Willy Tarreau w@1wt.eu 2016-06-14T14:31:11+00:00 c098acd272f1323e47ca52ec016f1a62d26b6573 commit 759c01142a5d0f364a462346168a56de28a80f52 upstream. On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to prevent this from happening. This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing pipes to work correctly though with less data at once. The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024) to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB = 1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use of pipes (eg: for splicing).

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required to POST the hardware. These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.
