net:Add sysctl_max_skb_frags

2016-03-04T15:25:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5f74f82ea34c0da80ea0b49192bb5ea06e063593 ]

Devices may have limits on the number of fragments in an skb they support.
Current codebase uses a constant as maximum for number of fragments one
skb can hold and use.
When enabling scatter/gather and running traffic with many small messages
the codebase uses the maximum number of fragments and may thereby violate
the max for certain devices.
The patch introduces a global variable as max number of fragments.

net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit

2016-03-04T15:25:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8013d1d7eafb0589ca766db6b74026f76b7f5cb4 ]

Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
   and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
   unspecified.  In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
   host should continue using whatever value it is already using.

   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum
hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC
standards.

tracing: Fix freak link error caused by branch tracer

2016-03-04T15:25:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit b33c8ff4431a343561e2319f17c14286f2aa52e2 ]

In my randconfig tests, I came across a bug that involves several
components:

* gcc-4.9 through at least 5.3
* CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL enabling -fprofile-arcs for all files
* CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES overriding every if()
* The optimized implementation of do_div() that tries to
  replace a library call with an division by multiplication
* code in drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.c doing

        u32 adc_clock = 450560; /* 45.056 MHz */
        if (state->config.adc_clock)
                adc_clock = state->config.adc_clock;
        do_div(value, adc_clock);

In this case, gcc fails to determine whether the divisor
in do_div() is __builtin_constant_p(). In particular, it
concludes that __builtin_constant_p(adc_clock) is false, while
__builtin_constant_p(!!adc_clock) is true.

That in turn throws off the logic in do_div() that also uses
__builtin_constant_p(), and instead of picking either the
constant- optimized division, and the code in ilog2() that uses
__builtin_constant_p() to figure out whether it knows the answer at
compile time. The result is a link error from failing to find
multiple symbols that should never have been called based on
the __builtin_constant_p():

dvb-frontends/zl10353.c:138: undefined reference to `____ilog2_NaN'
dvb-frontends/zl10353.c:138: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

ERROR: "__aeabi_uldivmod" [drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.ko] undefined!

This patch avoids the problem by changing __trace_if() to check
whether the condition is known at compile-time to be nonzero, rather
than checking whether it is actually a constant.

I see this one link error in roughly one out of 1600 randconfig builds
on ARM, and the patch fixes all known instances.

tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline

2016-03-04T15:25:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit f37755490fe9bf76f6ba1d8c6591745d3574a6a6 ]

The tracepoint infrastructure uses RCU sched protection to enable and
disable tracepoints safely. There are some instances where tracepoints are
used in infrastructure code (like kfree()) that get called after a CPU is
going offline, and perhaps when it is coming back online but hasn't been
registered yet.

This can probuce the following warning:

 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]

 other info that might help us debug this:

This warning is not a false positive either. RCU is not protecting code that
is being executed while the CPU is offline.

Instead of playing "whack-a-mole(TM)" and adding conditional statements to
the tracepoints we find that are used in this instance, simply add a
cpu_online() test to the tracepoint code where the tracepoint will be
ignored if the CPU is offline.

Use of raw_smp_processor_id() is fine, as there should never be a case where
the tracepoint code goes from running on a CPU that is online and suddenly
gets migrated to a CPU that is offline.

pty: make sure super_block is still valid in final /dev/tty close

2016-02-28T05:09:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1f55c718c290616889c04946864a13ef30f64929 ]

Considering current pty code and multiple devpts instances, it's possible
to umount a devpts file system while a program still has /dev/tty opened
pointing to a previosuly closed pty pair in that instance. In the case all
ptmx and pts/N files are closed, umount can be done. If the program closes
/dev/tty after umount is done, devpts_kill_index will use now an invalid
super_block, which was already destroyed in the umount operation after
running ->kill_sb. This is another "use after free" type of issue, but now
related to the allocated super_block instance.

To avoid the problem (warning at ida_remove and potential crashes) for
this specific case, I added two functions in devpts which grabs additional
references to the super_block, which pty code now uses so it makes sure
the super block structure is still valid until pty shutdown is done.
I also moved the additional inode references to the same functions, which
also covered similar case with inode being freed before /dev/tty final
close/shutdown.

cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children

2016-02-23T05:49:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit aa226ff4a1ce79f229c6b7a4c0a14e17fececd01 ]

There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free().  Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children.  This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.

This patch updates offline path so that a parent css is never offlined
before its children.  Each css keeps online_cnt which reaches zero iff
itself and all its children are offline and offline_css() is invoked
only after online_cnt reaches zero.

This fixes the memory controller bug and allows the fix for cpu
controller.

This patch separates out cgroup-defs.h from cgroup.h which has grown a
lot of dependencies.  cgroup-defs.h currently only contains constant
and type definitions and can be used to break circular include
dependency.  While moving, definitions are reordered so that
cgroup-defs.h has consistent logical structure.

This patch is pure reorganization.

radix-tree: fix oops after radix_tree_iter_retry

[ Upstream commit 732042821cfa106b3c20b9780e4c60fee9d68900 ]

Helper radix_tree_iter_retry() resets next_index to the current index.
In following radix_tree_next_slot current chunk size becomes zero.  This
isn't checked and it tries to dereference null pointer in slot.

Tagged iterator is fine because retry happens only at slot 0 where tag
bitmask in iter->tags is filled with single bit.

mm: replace vma_lock_anon_vma with anon_vma_lock_read/write

2016-02-15T20:45:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 12352d3cae2cebe18805a91fab34b534d7444231 ]

Sequence vma_lock_anon_vma() - vma_unlock_anon_vma() isn't safe if
anon_vma appeared between lock and unlock.  We have to check anon_vma
first or call anon_vma_prepare() to be sure that it's here.  There are
only few users of these legacy helpers.  Let's get rid of them.

This patch fixes anon_vma lock imbalance in validate_mm().  Write lock
isn't required here, read lock is enough.

And reorders expand_downwards/expand_upwards: security_mmap_addr() and
wrapping-around check don't have to be under anon vma lock.

radix-tree: fix race in gang lookup

2016-02-15T20:45:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 46437f9a554fbe3e110580ca08ab703b59f2f95a ]

If the indirect_ptr bit is set on a slot, that indicates we need to redo
the lookup.  Introduce a new function radix_tree_iter_retry() which
forces the loop to retry the lookup by setting 'slot' to NULL and
turning the iterator back to point at the problematic entry.

This is a pretty rare problem to hit at the moment; the lookup has to
race with a grow of the radix tree from a height of 0.  The consequences
of hitting this race are that gang lookup could return a pointer to a
radix_tree_node instead of a pointer to whatever the user had inserted
in the tree.
