commit b2f73922d119686323f14fbbe46587f863852328 upstream.

So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:

        seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);

The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:

static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                          struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
        unsigned long wchan;
        char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];

        wchan = get_wchan(task);

        if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) &lt; 0) {
                if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                        return 0;
                seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
        } else {
                seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
        }

        return 0;
}

This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:

  fomalhaut:~&gt; printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
  ffffffff8123b380

Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:

  ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm

and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:

  triton:~/tip&gt; strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep wchan | tail -1
  open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6

There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).

These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in  the absolute address. The
absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
decoding itself via the System.map.

So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.

( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
  perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

dlm_lockres_put will call dlm_lockres_release if it is the last
reference, and then it may call dlm_print_one_lock_resource and
take lockres spinlock.

So unlock lockres spinlock before dlm_lockres_put to avoid deadlock.

Commit 8eb934591f8b ("btrfs: check unsupported filters in balance
arguments") adds a jump to exit label out_bargs in case the argument
check fails. At this point in addition to the bargs memory, the
memory for struct btrfs_balance_control has already been allocated.
Ownership of bctl is passed to btrfs_balance() in the good case,
thus the memory is not freed due to the introduced jump. Make sure
that the memory gets freed in any case as necessary. Detected by
Coverity CID 1328378.

Current code will always truncate tailing page if its alloc_start is
smaller than inode size.

For example, the file extent layout is like:
0	4K	8K	16K	32K
|&lt;-----Extent A----------------&gt;|
|&lt;--Inode size: 18K----------&gt;|

But if calling fallocate even for range [0,4K), it will cause btrfs to
re-truncate the range [16,32K), causing COW and a new extent.

0	4K	8K	16K	32K
|///////|	&lt;- Fallocate call range
|&lt;-----Extent A--------&gt;|&lt;--B--&gt;|

The cause is quite easy, just a careless btrfs_truncate_inode() in a
else branch without extra judgment.
Fix it by add judgment on whether the fallocate range is beyond isize.

Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason:
 "I have two more bug fixes for btrfs.

  My commit fixes a bug we hit last week at FB, a combination of lots of
  hard links and an admin command to resolve inode numbers.

  Dave is adding checks to make sure balance on current kernels ignores
  filters it doesn't understand.  The penalty for being wrong is just
  doing more work (not crashing etc), but it's a good fix"

* 'for-linus-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs:
  btrfs: fix use after free iterating extrefs
  btrfs: check unsupported filters in balance arguments

<title>mm, dax: fix DAX deadlocks</title>

The following two locking commits in the DAX code:

commit 843172978bb9 ("dax: fix race between simultaneous faults")
commit 46c043ede471 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX")

introduced a number of deadlocks and other issues which need to be fixed
for the v4.3 kernel.  The list of issues in DAX after these commits
(some newly introduced by the commits, some preexisting) can be found
here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/25/602 (Subject: "Re: [PATCH] dax: fix deadlock in __dax_fault").

This undoes most of the changes introduced by those two commits,
essentially returning us to the DAX locking scheme that was used in
v4.2.
