Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices

2015-05-09T22:16:35+00:00

commit bba0bdd7ad4713d82338bcd9b72d57e9335a664b upstream.

SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the
transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state
no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has
been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable
pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops:

fsnotify: fix handling of renames in audit

2015-05-09T22:16:15+00:00

commit 6ee8e25fc3e916193bce4ebb43d5439e1e2144ab upstream.

Commit e9fd702a58c4 ("audit: convert audit watches to use fsnotify
instead of inotify") broke handling of renames in audit.  Audit code
wants to update inode number of an inode corresponding to watched name
in a directory.  When something gets renamed into a directory to a
watched name, inotify previously passed moved inode to audit code
however new fsnotify code passes directory inode where the change
happened.  That confuses audit and it starts watching parent directory
instead of a file in a directory.

This can be observed for example by doing:

  cd /tmp
  touch foo bar
  auditctl -w /tmp/foo
  touch foo
  mv bar foo
  touch foo

In audit log we see events like:

  type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1423563584.155:90): auid=1000 ses=2 op="updated rules" path="/tmp/foo" key=(null) list=4 res=1
  ...
  type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=2 name="bar" inode=1046884 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=DELETE
  type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=3 name="foo" inode=1046842 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=DELETE
  type=PATH msg=audit(1423563584.155:91): item=4 name="foo" inode=1046884 dev=08:0 2 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 nametype=CREATE
  ...

and that's it - we see event for the first touch after creating the
audit rule, we see events for rename but we don't see any event for the
last touch.  However we start seeing events for unrelated stuff
happening in /tmp.

Fix the problem by passing moved inode as data in the FS_MOVED_FROM and
FS_MOVED_TO events instead of the directory where the change happens.
This doesn't introduce any new problems because noone besides
audit_watch.c cares about the passed value:

  fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c cares only about FSNOTIFY_EVENT_PATH events.
  fs/notify/dnotify/dnotify.c doesn't care about passed 'data' value at all.
  fs/notify/inotify/inotify_fsnotify.c uses 'data' only for FSNOTIFY_EVENT_PATH.
  kernel/audit_tree.c doesn't care about passed 'data' at all.
  kernel/audit_watch.c expects moved inode as 'data'.

USB: add flag for HCDs that can't receive wakeup requests (isp1760-hcd)

2015-05-09T22:16:14+00:00

commit 074f9dd55f9cab1b82690ed7e44bcf38b9616ce0 upstream.

Currently the USB stack assumes that all host controller drivers are
capable of receiving wakeup requests from downstream devices.
However, this isn't true for the isp1760-hcd driver, which means that
it isn't safe to do a runtime suspend of any device attached to a
root-hub port if the device requires wakeup.

This patch adds a "cant_recv_wakeups" flag to the usb_hcd structure
and sets the flag in isp1760-hcd.  The core is modified to prevent a
direct child of the root hub from being put into runtime suspend with
wakeup enabled if the flag is set.

usb: core: buffer: smallest buffer should start at ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

2015-05-09T22:16:12+00:00

commit 5efd2ea8c9f4f12916ffc8ba636792ce052f6911 upstream.

the following error pops up during "testusb -a -t 10"
| musb-hdrc musb-hdrc.1.auto: dma_pool_free buffer-128,	f134e000/be842000 (bad dma)
hcd_buffer_create() creates a few buffers, the smallest has 32 bytes of
size. ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is set to 64 bytes. This combo results in
hcd_buffer_alloc() returning memory which is 32 bytes aligned and it
might by identified by buffer_offset() as another buffer. This means the
buffer which is on a 32 byte boundary will not get freed, instead it
tries to free another buffer with the error message.

This patch fixes the issue by creating the smallest DMA buffer with the
size of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (or 32 in case ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is
smaller). This might be 32, 64 or even 128 bytes. The next three pools
will have the size 128, 512 and 2048.
In case the smallest pool is 128 bytes then we have only three pools
instead of four (and zero the first entry in the array).
The last pool size is always 2048 bytes which is the assumed PAGE_SIZE /
2 of 4096. I doubt it makes sense to continue using PAGE_SIZE / 2 where
we would end up with 8KiB buffer in case we have 16KiB pages.
Instead I think it makes sense to have a common size(s) and extend them
if there is need to.
There is a BUILD_BUG_ON() now in case someone has a minalign of more than
128 bytes.

kernel.h: add BUILD_BUG() macro

2015-05-09T22:16:12+00:00

commit 1399ff86f2a2bbacbbe68fa00c5f8c752b344723 upstream.

We can place this in definitions that we expect the compiler to remove by
dead code elimination.  If this assertion fails, we get a nice error
message at build time.

The GCC function attribute error("message") was added in version 4.3, so
we define a new macro __linktime_error(message) to expand to this for
GCC-4.3 and later.  This will give us an error diagnostic from the
compiler on the line that fails.  For other compilers
__linktime_error(message) expands to nothing, and we have to be content
with a link time error, but at least we will still get a build error.

BUILD_BUG() expands to the undefined function __build_bug_failed() and
will fail at link time if the compiler ever emits code for it.  On GCC-4.3
and later, attribute((error())) is used so that the failure will be noted
at compile time instead.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-02-20T00:49:40+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

usb-core bInterval quirk

2015-02-20T00:49:39+00:00

commit cd83ce9e6195aa3ea15ab4db92892802c20df5d0 upstream.

This patch adds a usb quirk to support devices with interupt endpoints
and bInterval values expressed as microframes. The quirk causes the
parse endpoint function to modify the reported bInterval to a standards
conforming value.

There is currently code in the endpoint parser that checks for
bIntervals that are outside of the valid range (1-16 for USB 2+ high
speed and super speed interupt endpoints). In this case, the code assumes
the bInterval is being reported in 1ms frames. As well, the correction
is only applied if the original bInterval value is out of the 1-16 range.

With this quirk applied to the device, the bInterval will be
accurately adjusted from microframes to an exponent.
