commit 6510bbc88e3258631831ade49033537081950605 upstream.

Currently it is possible to read and/or write to suspend EB's.
Writing /dev/mtdX or /dev/mtdblockX from several processes may
break the flash state machine.

<title>ALSA: control: Hardening for potential Spectre v1</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 088e861edffb84879cf0c0d1b02eda078c3a0ffe upstream.

As recently Smatch suggested, a few places in ALSA control core codes
may expand the array directly from the user-space value with
speculation:

  sound/core/control.c:1003 snd_ctl_elem_lock() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl-&gt;vd'
  sound/core/control.c:1031 snd_ctl_elem_unlock() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl-&gt;vd'
  sound/core/control.c:844 snd_ctl_elem_info() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl-&gt;vd'
  sound/core/control.c:891 snd_ctl_elem_read() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl-&gt;vd'
  sound/core/control.c:939 snd_ctl_elem_write() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl-&gt;vd'

Although all these seem doing only the first load without further
reference, we may want to stay in a safer side, so hardening with
array_index_nospec() would still make sense.

In this patch, we put array_index_nospec() to the common
snd_ctl_get_ioff*() helpers instead of each caller.  These helpers are
also referred from some drivers, too, and basically all usages are to
calculate the array index from the user-space value, hence it's better
to cover there.

commit 903f9db10f18f735e62ba447147b6c434b6af003 upstream.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

commit 24a7e4d20783c0514850f24a5c41ede46ab058f0 upstream.

For cleanup it's helpful to be able to simply scan all vqs and discard
all data. Add an iterator to do that.

[ Upstream commit 7ce2367254e84753bceb07327aaf5c953cfce117 ]

Syzkaller spotted an old bug which leads to reading skb beyond tail by 4
bytes on vlan tagged packets.
This is caused because skb_vlan_tagged_multi() did not check
skb_headlen.

[ Upstream commit b905ef9ab90115d001c1658259af4b1c65088779 ]

The connection timers of an llc sock could be still flying
after we delete them in llc_sk_free(), and even possibly
after we free the sock. We could just wait synchronously
here in case of troubles.

Note, I leave other call paths as they are, since they may
not have to wait, at least we can change them to synchronously
when needed.

Also, move the code to net/llc/llc_conn.c, which is apparently
a better place.

commit 2e898e4c0a3897ccd434adac5abb8330194f527b upstream.

lock_page_memcg()/unlock_page_memcg() use spin_lock_irqsave/restore() if
the page's memcg is undergoing move accounting, which occurs when a
process leaves its memcg for a new one that has
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate set.

unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin,end() use spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq() if
the given inode is switching writeback domains.  Switches occur when
enough writes are issued from a new domain.

This existing pattern is thus suspicious:
    lock_page_memcg(page);
    unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin(inode, &amp;locked);
    ...
    unlocked_inode_to_wb_end(inode, locked);
    unlock_page_memcg(page);

If both inode switch and process memcg migration are both in-flight then
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() will unconditionally enable interrupts while
still holding the lock_page_memcg() irq spinlock.  This suggests the
possibility of deadlock if an interrupt occurs before unlock_page_memcg().

    truncate
    __cancel_dirty_page
    lock_page_memcg
    unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin
    unlocked_inode_to_wb_end
    &lt;interrupts mistakenly enabled&gt;
                                    &lt;interrupt&gt;
                                    end_page_writeback
                                    test_clear_page_writeback
                                    lock_page_memcg
                                    &lt;deadlock&gt;
    unlock_page_memcg

Due to configuration limitations this deadlock is not currently possible
because we don't mix cgroup writeback (a cgroupv2 feature) and
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate (a cgroupv1 feature).

If the kernel is hacked to always claim inode switching and memcg
moving_account, then this script triggers lockup in less than a minute:

  cd /mnt/cgroup/memory
  mkdir a b
  echo 1 &gt; a/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
  echo 1 &gt; b/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
  (
    echo $BASHPID &gt; a/cgroup.procs
    while true; do
      dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big bs=1M count=256
    done
  ) &amp;
  while true; do
    sync
  done &amp;
  sleep 1h &amp;
  SLEEP=$!
  while true; do
    echo $SLEEP &gt; a/cgroup.procs
    echo $SLEEP &gt; b/cgroup.procs
  done

The deadlock does not seem possible, so it's debatable if there's any
reason to modify the kernel.  I suggest we should to prevent future
surprises.  And Wang Long said "this deadlock occurs three times in our
environment", so there's more reason to apply this, even to stable.
Stable 4.4 has minor conflicts applying this patch.  For a clean 4.4 patch

<title>mm: allow GFP_{FS,IO} for page_cache_read page cache allocation</title>

commit c20cd45eb01748f0fba77a504f956b000df4ea73 upstream.

page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to
allocate a new page.  This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the
base for the gfp_mask.  Many filesystems are setting this mask to
GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues.  page_cache_read is called
from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault.
This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally.

ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem
to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic
implementation.  xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the
reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch
hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim.

There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation
context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used.  The GFP_NOFS protection
might be even harmful.  There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations
rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited
reclaim ability.  Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer
might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure
is propagated up the page fault path and end up in
pagefault_out_of_memory.

We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy
wrt.  parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who
really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask.  The mask is also
inode proper so it would even be a layering violation.  What we can do
instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer
to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different
allocation context.

Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO)
because this should be safe from the page fault path normally.  Why do
we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold
only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and
movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have
to respect those.

commit 40cab6e88cb0b6c56d3f30b7491a20e803f948f6 upstream.

OSS PCM stream management isn't modal but it allows ioctls issued at
any time for changing the parameters.  In the previous hardening
patch ("ALSA: pcm: Avoid potential races between OSS ioctls and
read/write"), we covered these races and prevent the corruption by
protecting the concurrent accesses via params_lock mutex.  However,
this means that some ioctls that try to change the stream parameter
(e.g. channels or format) would be blocked until the read/write
finishes, and it may take really long.

Basically changing the parameter while reading/writing is an invalid
operation, hence it's even more user-friendly from the API POV if it
returns -EBUSY in such a situation.

This patch adds such checks in the relevant ioctls with the addition
of read/write access refcount.
