commit c0082e985fdf77b02fc9e0dac3b58504dcf11b7a upstream.

An assertion in layout_in_gaps() verifies that the gap_lebs pointer is
below the maximum bound. When computing this maximum bound the idx_lebs
count is multiplied by sizeof(int), while C pointers arithmetic does take
into account the size of the pointed elements implicitly already. Remove
the multiplication to fix the assertion.

commit f3d7ebdeb2c297bd26272384e955033493ca291c upstream.

From inspection, the superblock sb_inprogress check is done in the
verifier and triggered only for the primary superblock via a
"bp-&gt;b_bn == XFS_SB_DADDR" check.

Unfortunately, the primary superblock is an uncached buffer, and
hence it is configured by xfs_buf_read_uncached() with:

	bp-&gt;b_bn = XFS_BUF_DADDR_NULL;  /* always null for uncached buffers */

And so this check never triggers. Fix it.

commit adb7ef600cc9d9d15ecc934cc26af5c1379777df upstream.

This might be unexpected but pages allocated for sbi-&gt;s_buddy_cache are
charged to current memory cgroup. So, GFP_NOFS allocation could fail if
current task has been killed by OOM or if current memory cgroup has no
free memory left. Block allocator cannot handle such failures here yet.

<title>ext4: avoid modifying checksum fields directly during checksum verification</title>

commit b47820edd1634dc1208f9212b7ecfb4230610a23 upstream.

We temporally change checksum fields in buffers of some types of
metadata into '0' for verifying the checksum values. By doing this
without locking the buffer, some metadata's checksums, which are
being committed or written back to the storage, could be damaged.
In our test, several metadata blocks were found with damaged metadata
checksum value during recovery process. When we only verify the
checksum value, we have to avoid modifying checksum fields directly.

I checked Jari's explanation below and found that v3.14.77 and v3.12.62
are missing the same fix as 3.10. In fact Al's original commit 3d56c25
("fix d_walk()/non-delayed __d_free() race") used to mention to check 
this __d_materialise_dentry() function in the Cc: stable line, but this
got lost during the backports.

Normally all of our 3 kernels need to apply the following patch that
Ben correctly put in 3.16 and 3.2. I'm fixing the backport in 3.10.103
right now.

commit 829fa70dddadf9dd041d62b82cd7cea63943899d upstream.

A number of fuzzing failures seem to be caused by allocation bitmaps
or other metadata blocks being pointed at the superblock.

This can cause kernel BUG or WARNings once the superblock is
overwritten, so validate the group descriptor blocks to make sure this
doesn't happen.

commit 088bf2ff5d12e2e32ee52a4024fec26e582f44d3 upstream.

seq_read() is a nasty piece of work, not to mention buggy.

It has (I think) an old bug which allows unprivileged userspace to read
beyond the end of m-&gt;buf.

I was getting these:

    Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

This seems to be the same thing that Dave Jones was seeing here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/12/334

There are multiple issues here:

  1) If we enter the function with a non-empty buffer, there is an attempt
     to flush it. But it was not clearing m-&gt;from after doing so, which
     means that if we try to do this flush twice in a row without any call
     to traverse() in between, we are going to be reading from the wrong
     place -- the splat above, fixed by this patch.

  2) If there's a short write to userspace because of page faults, the
     buffer may already contain multiple lines (i.e. pos has advanced by
     more than 1), but we don't save the progress that was made so the
     next call will output what we've already returned previously. Since
     that is a much less serious issue (and I have a headache after
     staring at seq_read() for the past 8 hours), I'll leave that for now.

commit 088bf2ff5d12e2e32ee52a4024fec26e582f44d3 upstream.

seq_read() is a nasty piece of work, not to mention buggy.

It has (I think) an old bug which allows unprivileged userspace to read
beyond the end of m-&gt;buf.

I was getting these:

    BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in seq_read+0xcd2/0x1480 at addr ffff880116889880

    Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

This seems to be the same thing that Dave Jones was seeing here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/12/334

There are multiple issues here:

  1) If we enter the function with a non-empty buffer, there is an attempt
     to flush it. But it was not clearing m-&gt;from after doing so, which
     means that if we try to do this flush twice in a row without any call
     to traverse() in between, we are going to be reading from the wrong
     place -- the splat above, fixed by this patch.

  2) If there's a short write to userspace because of page faults, the
     buffer may already contain multiple lines (i.e. pos has advanced by
     more than 1), but we don't save the progress that was made so the
     next call will output what we've already returned previously. Since
     that is a much less serious issue (and I have a headache after
     staring at seq_read() for the past 8 hours), I'll leave that for now.

commit 149a4fddd0a72d526abbeac0c8deaab03559836a upstream.

NFS doesn't expect requests with wb_bytes set to zero and may make
unexpected decisions about how to handle that request at the page IO layer.
Skip request creation if we won't have any wb_bytes in the request.

commit 7893242e2465aea6f2cbc2639da8fa5ce96e8cc2 upstream.

During following a symbolic link we received err_buf from SMB2_open().
While the validity of SMB2 error response is checked previously
in smb2_check_message() a symbolic link payload is not checked at all.
Fix it by adding such checks.
