commit 27c73ae759774e63313c1fbfeb17ba076cea64c5 upstream.

Commit 7cb2ef56e6a8 ("mm: fix aio performance regression for database
caused by THP") can cause dereference of a dangling pointer if
split_huge_page runs during PageHuge() if there are updates to the
tail_page-&gt;private field.

Also it is repeating compound_head twice for hugetlbfs and it is running
compound_head+compound_trans_head for THP when a single one is needed in
both cases.

The new code within the PageSlab() check doesn't need to verify that the
THP page size is never bigger than the smallest hugetlbfs page size, to
avoid memory corruption.

A longstanding theoretical race condition was found while fixing the
above (see the change right after the skip_unlock label, that is
relevant for the compound_lock path too).

By re-establishing the _mapcount tail refcounting for all compound
pages, this also fixes the below problem:

<title>vlan: Fix header ops passthru when doing TX VLAN offload.</title>

[ Upstream commit 2205369a314e12fcec4781cc73ac9c08fc2b47de ]

When the vlan code detects that the real device can do TX VLAN offloads
in hardware, it tries to arrange for the real device's header_ops to
be invoked directly.

But it does so illegally, by simply hooking the real device's
header_ops up to the VLAN device.

This doesn't work because we will end up invoking a set of header_ops
routines which expect a device type which matches the real device, but
will see a VLAN device instead.

Fix this by providing a pass-thru set of header_ops which will arrange
to pass the proper real device instead.

To facilitate this add a dev_rebuild_header().  There are
implementations which provide a -&gt;cache and -&gt;create but not a
-&gt;rebuild (f.e. PLIP).  So we need a helper function just like
dev_hard_header() to avoid crashes.

Use this helper in the one existing place where the
header_ops-&gt;rebuild was being invoked, the neighbour code.

With lots of help from Florian Westphal.

[ Upstream commit 12663bfc97c8b3fdb292428105dd92d563164050 ]

unix_dgram_recvmsg() will hold the readlock of the socket until recv
is complete.

In the same time, we may try to setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) which will hang until
unix_dgram_recvmsg() will complete (which can take a while) without allowing
us to break out of it, triggering a hung task spew.

Instead, allow set_peek_off to fail, this way userspace will not hang.

<title>ALSA: memalloc.h - fix wrong truncation of dma_addr_t</title>

commit 932e9dec380c67ec15ac3eb073bb55797d8b4801 upstream.

When running a 32bit kernel the hda_intel driver is still reporting
a 64bit dma_mask if the HW supports it.

From sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:

        /* allow 64bit DMA address if supported by H/W */
        if ((gcap &amp; ICH6_GCAP_64OK) &amp;&amp; !pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
                pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
        else {
                pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
                pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
        }

which means when there is a call to dma_alloc_coherent from
snd_malloc_dev_pages a machine address bigger than 32bit can be returned.
This can be true in particular if running  the 32bit kernel as a pv dom0
under the Xen Hypervisor or PAE on bare metal.

The problem is that when calling setup_bdle to program the BLE the
dma_addr_t returned from the dma_alloc_coherent is wrongly truncated
from snd_sgbuf_get_addr if running a 32bit kernel:

static inline dma_addr_t snd_sgbuf_get_addr(struct snd_dma_buffer *dmab,
                                           size_t offset)
{
        struct snd_sg_buf *sgbuf = dmab-&gt;private_data;
        dma_addr_t addr = sgbuf-&gt;table[offset &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT].addr;
        addr &amp;= PAGE_MASK;
        return addr + offset % PAGE_SIZE;
}

where PAGE_MASK in a 32bit kernel is zeroing the upper 32bit af addr.

Without this patch the HW will fetch the 32bit truncated address,
which is not the one obtained from dma_alloc_coherent and will result
to a non working audio but can corrupt host memory at a random location.

The current patch apply to v3.13-rc3-74-g6c843f5

commit 41da8b5adba77e22584f8b45f9641504fa885308 upstream.

The scatterwalk_crypto_chain function invokes the scatterwalk_sg_chain
function to chain two scatterlists, but the chain pointer indication
bit is not set.  When the resulting scatterlist is used, for example,
by sg_nents to count the number of scatterlist entries, a segfault occurs
because sg_nents does not follow the chain pointer to the chained scatterlist.

Update scatterwalk_sg_chain to set the chain pointer indication bit as is
done by the sg_chain function.

commit 41da8b5adba77e22584f8b45f9641504fa885308 upstream.

The scatterwalk_crypto_chain function invokes the scatterwalk_sg_chain
function to chain two scatterlists, but the chain pointer indication
bit is not set.  When the resulting scatterlist is used, for example,
by sg_nents to count the number of scatterlist entries, a segfault occurs
because sg_nents does not follow the chain pointer to the chained scatterlist.

Update scatterwalk_sg_chain to set the chain pointer indication bit as is
done by the sg_chain function.

commit fd7c092e711ebab55b2688d3859d95dfd0301f73 upstream.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti-&gt;type-&gt;status. If ti-&gt;type-&gt;status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti-&gt;type-&gt;status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

<title>inet: fix addr_len/msg-&gt;msg_namelen assignment in recv_error and rxpmtu functions</title>

[ Upstream commit 85fbaa75037d0b6b786ff18658ddf0b4014ce2a4 ]

Commit bceaa90240b6019ed73b49965eac7d167610be69 ("inet: prevent leakage
of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls") conditionally updated
addr_len if the msg_name is written to. The recv_error and rxpmtu
functions relied on the recvmsg functions to set up addr_len before.

As this does not happen any more we have to pass addr_len to those
functions as well and set it to the size of the corresponding sockaddr
length.

This broke traceroute and such.

<title>net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic</title>

[ Upstream commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ]

This patch now always passes msg-&gt;msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size &lt;= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen == 0)
	msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.
