Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

commit cced5041ed5a2d1352186510944b0ddfbdbe4c0b upstream.

sym53c8xx_slave_destroy unconditionally assumes that sym53c8xx_slave_alloc has
succesesfully allocated a sym_lcb. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
(exposed by commit 4e6c82b).

<title>block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices</title>

commit 0bfc96cb77224736dfa35c3c555d37b3646ef35e upstream.

[ Changes with respect to 3.3: return -ENOTTY from scsi_verify_blk_ioctl
  and -ENOIOCTLCMD from sd_compat_ioctl. ]

Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device.  This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.

This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent.  In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice.  Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities.  However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls.  Their actions will still be logged.

This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver.  That driver
however already tests for bd != bd-&gt;bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

commit 577ebb374c78314ac4617242f509e2f5e7156649 upstream.

Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.

The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

<title>SCSI: mpt2sas : Fix for memory allocation error for large host credits</title>

commit aff132d95ffe14eca96cab90597cdd010b457af7 upstream.

The amount of memory required for tracking chain buffers is rather
large, and when the host credit count is big, memory allocation
failure occurs inside __get_free_pages.

The fix is to limit the number of chains to 100,000.  In addition,
the number of host credits is limited to 30,000 IOs. However this
limitation can be overridden this using the command line option
max_queue_depth.  The algorithm for calculating the
reply_post_queue_depth is changed so that it is equal to
(reply_free_queue_depth + 16), previously it was (reply_free_queue_depth * 2).

commit 30c43282f3d347f47f9e05199d2b14f56f3f2837 upstream.

Added code to release the spinlock that is used to protect the
raid device list before calling a function that can block. The
blocking was causing a reschedule, and subsequently it is tried
to acquire the same lock, resulting in a panic (NMI Watchdog
detecting a CPU lockup).

mpt2sas_base_detach() call was removed from _scsih_remove() while
doing some code shuffling.  Mainly when we work on adding code for

Upstrem commit: 911ae9434f83e7355d343f6c2be3ef5b00ea7aed

There's a bug in the MSIX backup and restore routines that cause a crash on
non-x86 (direct access to PCI space not via read/write).  These routines are
unnecessary and were removed by the above commit, so also remove them from
stable to fix the crash.

commit f6a290b419a2675c4b77a6b0731cd2a64332365e upstream.

_scsih_smart_predicted_fault is called in an interrupt and therefore
must allocate memory using GFP_ATOMIC.
