commit 841df7df196237ea63233f0f9eaa41db53afd70f upstream.

Commit 6f6a6fda2945 "jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal
superblock fails" changed jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to return EIO
when the journal is aborted. That makes logic in
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() bail out which is fine, except that
jbd2_journal_destroy() expects jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to always make
a progress in cleaning the journal. Without it jbd2_journal_destroy()
just loops in an infinite loop.

Fix jbd2_journal_destroy() to cleanup journal checkpoint lists of
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() fails with error.

<title>ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contention</title>

<id>2491f0184830c5f1e1c794283177179937def4b7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2ac3ac8f86f2fe065d746d9a9abaca867adec577 upstream.

On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.

This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net-&gt;ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.

Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

[ Upstream commit 03645a11a570d52e70631838cb786eb4253eb463 ]

ip6_datagram_connect() is doing a lot of socket changes without
socket being locked.

This looks wrong, at least for udp_lib_rehash() which could corrupt
lists because of concurrent udp_sk(sk)-&gt;udp_portaddr_hash accesses.

<title>fs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a068acf2ee77693e0bf39d6e07139ba704f461c3 upstream.

Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g.  new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files.  This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else.  This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink).  Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

  $ BASE="ovl"
  $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
  $ LOW="$BASE/lower"
  $ UP="$BASE/upper"
  $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000"
  $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK"
  $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
  $ fusermount -u /proc
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory

This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed.  Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

commit f8786a91548df6930643a052e40e5c0b7a8403a5 upstream.

Incoming packets in high speed are randomly corrupted by h/w
resulting in multiple errors. This workaround makes FS as
default mode in all affected socs by disabling HS chirp
signalling.This errata does not affect FS and LS mode.

Forces all HS devices to connect in FS mode for all socs
affected by this erratum:
P3041 and P2041 rev 1.0 and 1.1
P5020 and P5010 rev 1.0 and 2.0

<title>PCI: Add dev_flags bit to access VPD through function 0</title>

commit 932c435caba8a2ce473a91753bad0173269ef334 upstream.

Add a dev_flags bit, PCI_DEV_FLAGS_VPD_REF_F0, to access VPD through
function 0 to provide VPD access on other functions.  This is for hardware
devices that provide copies of the same VPD capability registers in
multiple functions.  Because the kernel expects that each function has its
own registers, both the locking and the state tracking are affected by VPD
accesses to different functions.

On such devices for example, if a VPD write is performed on function 0,
*any* later attempt to read VPD from any other function of that device will
hang.  This has to do with how the kernel tracks the expected value of the
F bit per function.

Concurrent accesses to different functions of the same device can not only
hang but also corrupt both read and write VPD data.

When hangs occur, typically the error message:

  vpd r/w failed.  This is likely a firmware bug on this device.

will be seen.

Never set this bit on function 0 or there will be an infinite recursion.

commit bd7ade3cd9b0850264306f5c2b79024a417b6396 upstream.

sb_getblk() is used during ext4 (and possibly other FSes) writeback
paths. Sometimes such path require allocating memory and guaranteeing
that such allocation won't block. Currently, however, there is no way
to provide user flags for sb_getblk which could lead to deadlocks.

This patch implements a sb_getblk_gfp with the only difference it can
accept user-provided GFP flags.

commit bd7ade3cd9b0850264306f5c2b79024a417b6396 upstream.

sb_getblk() is used during ext4 (and possibly other FSes) writeback
paths. Sometimes such path require allocating memory and guaranteeing
that such allocation won't block. Currently, however, there is no way
to provide user flags for sb_getblk which could lead to deadlocks.

This patch implements a sb_getblk_gfp with the only difference it can
accept user-provided GFP flags.

commit 3b5e6454aaf6b4439b19400d8365e2ec2d24e411 upstream.

A buffer cache is allocated from movable area because it is referred
for a while and released soon.  But some filesystems are taking buffer
cache for a long time and it can disturb page migration.

New APIs are introduced to allocate buffer cache with user specific
flag.  *_gfp APIs are for user want to set page allocation flag for
page cache allocation.  And *_unmovable APIs are for the user wants to
allocate page cache from non-movable area.

commit c04be18448355441a0c424362df65b6422e27bda upstream.

ACPICA commit 90f5332a15e9d9ba83831ca700b2b9f708274658

This patch adds a new FACS initialization flag for acpi_tb_initialize().
acpi_enable_subsystem() might be invoked several times in OS bootup process,
and we don't want FACS initialization to be invoked twice. Lv Zheng.
