of: Fix overflow bug in string property parsing functions

2014-11-14T18:10:40+00:00

commit a87fa1d81a9fb5e9adca9820e16008c40ad09f33 upstream.

The string property read helpers will run off the end of the buffer if
it is handed a malformed string property. Rework the parsers to make
sure that doesn't happen. At the same time add new test cases to make
sure the functions behave themselves.

The original implementations of of_property_read_string_index() and
of_property_count_strings() both open-coded the same block of parsing
code, each with it's own subtly different bugs. The fix here merges
functions into a single helper and makes the original functions static
inline wrappers around the helper.

One non-bugfix aspect of this patch is the addition of a new wrapper,
of_property_read_string_array(). The new wrapper is needed by the
device_properties feature that Rafael is working on and planning to
merge for v3.19. The implementation is identical both with and without
the new static inline wrapper, so it just got left in to reduce the
churn on the header file.

mm: memcontrol: fix missed end-writeback page accounting

2014-11-14T18:10:36+00:00

commit d7365e783edb858279be1d03f61bc8d5d3383d90 upstream.

Commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed
page migration to uncharge the old page right away.  The page is locked,
unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback
ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly:

test_clear_page_writeback()              migration
                                           wait_on_page_writeback()
  TestClearPageWriteback()
                                           mem_cgroup_migrate()
                                             clear PCG_USED
  mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
    if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
      decrease memcg pages under writeback

  release pc->mem_cgroup->move_lock

The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a
function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path,
which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before
clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.

Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
the transaction and then uses it throughout.  The charge will be
verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge
the page as long as that is still set.  The RCU lock will protect the
memcg past uncharge.

As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
There is no actual difference:

 old:     33.195102545 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.01% )
 new:     33.199231369 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.03% )

The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the
same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced:

     # Children      Self  Command        Shared Object       Symbol
 old:     0.12%     0.11%  filemapstress  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] page_remove_rmap
 new:     0.12%     0.08%  filemapstress  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] page_remove_rmap

HID: usbhid: add always-poll quirk

2014-11-14T18:10:34+00:00

commit 0b750b3baa2d64f1b77aecc10f20deeb28efe60d upstream.

Add quirk to make sure that a device is always polled for input events
even if it hasn't been opened.

This is needed for devices that disconnects from the bus unless the
interrupt endpoint has been polled at least once or when not responding
to an input event (e.g. after having shut down X).

USB: core: add device-qualifier quirk

2014-11-14T18:10:34+00:00

commit 2a159389bf5d962359349a76827b2f683276a1c7 upstream.

Add new quirk for devices that cannot handle requests for the
device_qualifier descriptor.

A USB-2.0 compliant device must respond to requests for the
device_qualifier descriptor (even if it's with a request error), but at
least one device is known to misbehave after such a request.

OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend

2014-11-14T18:10:32+00:00

commit 5695be142e203167e3cb515ef86a88424f3524eb upstream.

PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in
order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups
OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still
keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
freeze_processes finishes.

Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been
disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because
oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task
might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without
freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is,
however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case.

Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when
the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the
tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter
is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked
oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive
will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal.

Changes since v1
- push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into
  check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more
  readable as per Rafael

block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2

2014-11-14T18:10:26+00:00

commit b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c upstream.

The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset()
assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a
power-of-2.  Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min.

This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing
dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of
1280K.  Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data
block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to
the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.

random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data

2014-11-14T18:10:24+00:00

commit d4c5efdb97773f59a2b711754ca0953f24516739 upstream.

zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7)
memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy,
entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc.

Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants)
that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is
being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto
code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in
and doesn't need any dependencies then. ]

vfs: fix data corruption when blocksize < pagesize for mmaped data

2014-11-14T18:10:23+00:00

commit 90a8020278c1598fafd071736a0846b38510309c upstream.

->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page
which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This
allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space
available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than
silently discarding data later when writepage is called.

However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where
filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when
blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic:
  ftruncate(fd, 0);
  pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0);
  map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
  map[0] = 'a';       ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called
  ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */
  mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0);
  map[4095] = 'a';    ----> no page_mkwrite() called

At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only
one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create
blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at
->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we
don't have block allocated for it.

This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have
->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.
