commit 5794d21ef4639f0e33440927bb903f9598c21e92 upstream.

When attempting to cache ACLs returned from the server, if the bitmap
size + the ACL size is greater than a PAGE_SIZE but the ACL size itself
is smaller than a PAGE_SIZE, we can read past the buffer page boundary.

commit 5a00689930ab975fdd1b37b034475017e460cf2a upstream.

Bug noticed in commit
bf118a342f10dafe44b14451a1392c3254629a1f

When calling GETACL, if the size of the bitmap array, the length
attribute and the acl returned by the server is greater than the
allocated buffer(args.acl_len), we can Oops with a General Protection
fault at _copy_from_pages() when we attempt to read past the pages
allocated.

This patch allocates an extra PAGE for the bitmap and checks to see that
the bitmap + attribute_length + ACLs don't exceed the buffer space
allocated to it.

commit 080399aaaf3531f5b8761ec0ac30ff98891e8686 upstream.

Hi,

We have a bug report open where a squashfs image mounted on ppc64 would
exhibit errors due to trying to read beyond the end of the disk.  It can
easily be reproduced by doing the following:

[root@ibm-p750e-02-lp3 ~]# ls -l install.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 142032896 Apr 30 16:46 install.img

[   43.106307] attempt to access beyond end of device
[   43.106311] loop0: rw=0, want=277470, limit=2774

Squashfs manages to read in the end block(s) of the disk during the
mount operation.  Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to
block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of
disk, but are marked as mapped.  Thus, it would end up submitting read
I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above.  I fixed the
problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if
it fell inside of i_size.

Cheers,
Jeff

This test is always true so it means we revalidate the length every

commit e1616300a20c80396109c1cf013ba9a36055a3da upstream.

dd slept infinitely when fsfeeze failed because of EIO.
To fix this problem, if -&gt;freeze_fs fails, freeze_super() wakes up
the tasks waiting for the filesystem to become unfrozen.

When s_frozen isn't SB_UNFROZEN in __generic_file_aio_write(),
the function sleeps until FITHAW ioctl wakes up s_wait_unfrozen.

However, if -&gt;freeze_fs fails, s_frozen is set to SB_UNFROZEN and then
freeze_super() returns an error number. In this case, FITHAW ioctl returns
EINVAL because s_frozen is already SB_UNFROZEN. There is no way to wake up
s_wait_unfrozen, so __generic_file_aio_write() sleeps infinitely.

commit acd6ad83517639e8f09a8c5525b1dccd81cd2a10 upstream.

When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext4_new_inode() it most likely means inode
bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which is already in use. Also
doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery is wrong since the inode does
not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by jumping to fail: (instead of fail_drop:)
which declares filesystem error and does not call unlock_new_inode().

commit 1415dd8705394399d59a3df1ab48d149e1e41e77 upstream.

When insert_inode_locked() fails in ext3_new_inode() it most likely
means inode bitmap got corrupted and we allocated again inode which
is already in use. Also doing unlock_new_inode() during error recovery
is wrong since inode does not have I_NEW set. Fix the problem by jumping
to fail: (instead of fail_drop:) which declares filesystem error and
does not call unlock_new_inode().

<title>vfs: make AIO use the proper rw_verify_area() area helpers</title>

commit a70b52ec1aaeaf60f4739edb1b422827cb6f3893 upstream.

We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.

Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
rw_verify_area() also does) directly.

This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
actually remove lines of code.

<title>bio allocation failure due to bio_get_nr_vecs()</title>

commit f908ee9463b09ddd05e1c1a0111132212dc05fac upstream.

The number of bio_get_nr_vecs() is passed down via bio_alloc() to
bvec_alloc_bs(), which fails the bio allocation if
nr_iovecs &gt; BIO_MAX_PAGES. For the underlying caller this causes an
unexpected bio allocation failure.
Limiting to queue_max_segments() is not sufficient, as max_segments
also might be very large.

bvec_alloc_bs(gfp_mask, nr_iovecs, ) =&gt; NULL when nr_iovecs  &gt; BIO_MAX_PAGES
bio_alloc_bioset(gfp_mask, nr_iovecs, ...)
bio_alloc(GFP_NOIO, nvecs)
xfs_alloc_ioend_bio()
