commit ef0579b64e93188710d48667cb5e014926af9f1b upstream.
The ahash API modifies the request's callback function in order
to clean up after itself in some corner cases (unaligned final
and missing finup).
When the request is complete ahash will restore the original
callback and everything is fine. However, when the request gets
an EBUSY on a full queue, an EINPROGRESS callback is made while
the request is still ongoing.
In this case the ahash API will incorrectly call its own callback.
This patch fixes the problem by creating a temporary request
object on the stack which is used to relay EINPROGRESS back to
the original completion function.
This patch also adds code to preserve the original flags value.

commit e6534aebb26e32fbab14df9c713c65e8507d17e4 upstream.
The algif_aead completion function tries to deduce the aead_request
from the crypto_async_request argument. This is broken because
the API does not guarantee that the same request will be pased to
the completion function. Only the value of req->data can be used
in the completion function.
This patch fixes it by storing a pointer to sk in areq and using
that instead of passing in sk through req->data.

commit d879d0b8c183aabeb9a65eba91f3f9e3c7e7b905 upstream.
When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored. The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks. But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).
This is easily reproducible with the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# mkdir instances/buggy
# echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
# rmdir instances/buggy

commit d72e9a7a93e4f8e9e52491921d99e0c8aa89eb4e upstream.
The copy_page is optimized memcpy for page-alinged address. If it is
used with non-page aligned address, it can corrupt memory which means
system corruption. With zram, it can happen with
1. 64K architecture
2. partial IO
3. slub debug
Partial IO need to allocate a page and zram allocates it via kmalloc.
With slub debug, kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) doesn't return page-size aligned
address. And finally, copy_page(mem, cmem) corrupts memory.
So, this patch changes it to memcpy.
Actuaully, we don't need to change zram_bvec_write part because zsmalloc
returns page-aligned address in case of PAGE_SIZE class but it's not
good to rely on the internal of zsmalloc.
Note:
When this patch is merged to stable, clear_page should be fixed, too.
Unfortunately, recent zram removes it by "same page merge" feature so
it's hard to backport this patch to -stable tree.
I will handle it when I receive the mail from stable tree maintainer to
merge this patch to backport.

commit c4a3fa261b16858416f1fd7db03a33d7ef5fc0b3 upstream.
There is a report that after commit 27622b061eb4 ("cpufreq: Convert
to hotplug state machine"), the normal CPU offline/online cycle
fails on some platforms.
According to the ftrace result, this problem was triggered on
platforms using acpi-cpufreq as the default cpufreq driver,
and due to the lack of some ACPI freq method (eg. _PCT),
cpufreq_online() failed and returned a negative value, so the CPU
hotplug state machine rolled back the CPU online process. Actually,
from the user's perspective, the failure of cpufreq_online() should
not prevent that CPU from being brought up, although cpufreq might
not work on that CPU.
BTW, during system startup cpufreq_online() is not invoked via CPU
online but by the cpufreq device creation process, so the APs can be
brought up even though cpufreq_online() fails in that stage.
This patch ignores the return value of cpufreq_online/offline() and
lets the cpufreq framework deal with the failure. cpufreq_online()
itself will do a proper rollback in that case and if _PCT is missing,
the ACPI cpufreq driver will print a warning if the corresponding
debug options have been enabled.

If a given blk-dpa allocation does not alias with any pmem ranges then
the full allocation should be accounted as busy space, not the size of
the current pmem contribution to the region.
The thinkos that led to this confusion was not realizing that the struct
resource management is already guaranteeing no collisions between pmem
allocations and blk allocations on the same dimm. Also, we do not try to
support blk allocations in aliased pmem holes.
This patch also fixes a case where the available blk goes negative.

commit 3278682123811dd8ef07de5eb701fc4548fcebf2 upstream.
Fixes the mess observed in e.g. rsync over a noisy link we'd been
seeing since last Summer. What happens is that we copy part of
a datagram before noticing a checksum mismatch. Datagram will be
resent, all right, but we want the next try go into the same place,
not after it...
All this family of primitives (copy/checksum and copy a datagram
into destination) is "all or nothing" sort of interface - either
we get 0 (meaning that copy had been successful) or we get an
error (and no way to tell how much had been copied before we ran
into whatever error it had been). Make all of them leave iterator
unadvanced in case of errors - all callers must be able to cope
with that (an error might've been caught before the iterator had
been advanced), it costs very little to arrange, it's safer for
callers and actually fixes at least one bug in said callers.

commit 49cb77e297dc611a1b795cfeb79452b3002bd331 upstream.
This patch closes a race between se_lun deletion during configfs
unlink in target_fabric_port_unlink() -> core_dev_del_lun()
-> core_tpg_remove_lun(), when transport_clear_lun_ref() blocks
waiting for percpu_ref RCU grace period to finish, but a new
NodeACL mappedlun is added before the RCU grace period has
completed.
This can happen in target_fabric_mappedlun_link() because it
only checks for se_lun->lun_se_dev, which is not cleared until
after transport_clear_lun_ref() percpu_ref RCU grace period
finishes.
This bug originally manifested as NULL pointer dereference
OOPsen in target_stat_scsi_att_intr_port_show_attr_dev() on
v4.1.y code, because it dereferences lun->lun_se_dev without
a explicit NULL pointer check.
In post v4.1 code with target-core RCU conversion, the code
in target_stat_scsi_att_intr_port_show_attr_dev() no longer
uses se_lun->lun_se_dev, but the same race still exists.
To address the bug, go ahead and set se_lun>lun_shutdown as
early as possible in core_tpg_remove_lun(), and ensure new
NodeACL mappedlun creation in target_fabric_mappedlun_link()
fails during se_lun shutdown.

commit 1c99de981f30b3e7868b8d20ce5479fa1c0fea46 upstream.
Once upon a time back in 2009, a work-around was added to support
the GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator v3.3 for MacOSX, which during login
did not propose nor respond to MaxBurstLength, FirstBurstLength,
DefaultTime2Wait and DefaultTime2Retain keys.
The work-around in iscsi_check_proposer_for_optional_reply()
allowed the missing keys to be proposed, but did not require
waiting for a response before moving to full feature phase
operation. This allowed GlobalSAN v3.3 to work out-of-the
box, and for many years we didn't run into login interopt
issues with any other initiators..
Until recently, when Martin tried a QLogic 57840S iSCSI Offload
HBA on Windows 2016 which completed login, but subsequently
failed with:
Got unknown iSCSI OpCode: 0x43
The issue was QLogic MSFT side did not propose DefaultTime2Wait +
DefaultTime2Retain, so LIO proposes them itself, and immediately
transitions to full feature phase because of the GlobalSAN hack.
However, the QLogic MSFT side still attempts to respond to
DefaultTime2Retain + DefaultTime2Wait, even though LIO has set
ISCSI_FLAG_LOGIN_NEXT_STAGE3 + ISCSI_FLAG_LOGIN_TRANSIT
in last login response.
So while the QLogic MSFT side should have been proposing these
two keys to start, it was doing the correct thing per RFC-3720
attempting to respond to proposed keys before transitioning to
full feature phase.
All that said, recent versions of GlobalSAN iSCSI (v5.3.0.541)
does correctly propose the four keys during login, making the
original work-around moot.
So in order to allow QLogic MSFT to run unmodified as-is, go
ahead and drop this long standing work-around.

This patch fixes a iscsi-target specific TMR reference leak
during session shutdown, that could occur when a TMR was
quiesced before the hand-off back to iscsi-target code
via transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric().
The reference leak happens because iscsit_free_cmd() was
incorrectly skipping the final target_put_sess_cmd() for
TMRs when transport_generic_free_cmd() returned zero because
the se_cmd->cmd_kref did not reach zero, due to the missing
se_cmd assignment in original code.
The result was iscsi_cmd and it's associated se_cmd memory
would be freed once se_sess->sess_cmd_map where released,
but the associated se_tmr_req was leaked and remained part
of se_device->dev_tmr_list.
This bug would manfiest itself as kernel paging request
OOPsen in core_tmr_lun_reset(), when a left-over se_tmr_req
attempted to dereference it's se_cmd pointer that had
already been released during normal session shutdown.
To address this bug, go ahead and treat ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD
and ISCSI_OP_SCSI_TMFUNC the same when there is an extra
se_cmd->cmd_kref to drop in iscsit_free_cmd(), and use
op_scsi to signal __iscsit_free_cmd() when the former
needs to clear any further iscsi related I/O state.

commit 55d728a40d368ba80443be85c02e641fc9082a3f upstream.
On UEFI systems, the PCI subsystem is enumerated by the firmware,
and if a graphical framebuffer is exposed via a PCI device, its base
address and size are exposed to the OS via the Graphics Output
Protocol (GOP).
On arm64 PCI systems, the entire PCI hierarchy is reconfigured from
scratch at boot. This may result in the GOP framebuffer address to
become stale, if the BAR covering the framebuffer is modified. This
will cause the framebuffer to become unresponsive, and may in some
cases result in unpredictable behavior if the range is reassigned to
another device.
So add a non-x86 quirk to the EFI fb driver to find the BAR associated
with the GOP base address, and claim the BAR resource so that the PCI
core will not move it.

commit 540f4c0e894f7e46a66dfa424b16424cbdc12c38 upstream.
The UEFI Specification permits Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) instances
without direct framebuffer access. This is indicated in the Mode structure
with a PixelFormat enumeration value of PIXEL_BLT_ONLY. Given that the
kernel does not know how to drive a Blt() only framebuffer (which is only
permitted before ExitBootServices() anyway), we should disregard such
framebuffers when looking for a GOP instance that is suitable for use as
the boot console.
So modify the EFI GOP initialization to not use a PIXEL_BLT_ONLY instance,
preventing attempts later in boot to use an invalid screen_info.lfb_base
address.

commit 409c1b250e30ad0e48b4d15d7319b4e18c046c4f upstream.
The patch 554bfeceb8a22d448cd986fc9efce25e833278a1 ("parisc: Fix access
fault handling in pa_memcpy()") reimplements the pa_memcpy function.
Unfortunatelly, it makes the kernel unbootable. The crash happens in the
function ide_complete_cmd where memcpy is called with the same source
and destination address.
This patch fixes a few bugs in pa_memcpy:
* When jumping to .Lcopy_loop_16 for the first time, don't skip the
instruction "ldi 31,t0" (this bug made the kernel unbootable)
* Use the COND macro when comparing length, so that the comparison is
64-bit (a theoretical issue, in case the length is greater than
0xffffffff)
* Don't use the COND macro after the "extru" instruction (the PA-RISC
specification says that the upper 32-bits of extru result are undefined,
although they are set to zero in practice)
* Fix exception addresses in .Lcopy16_fault and .Lcopy8_fault
* Rename .Lcopy_loop_4 to .Lcopy_loop_8 (so that it is consistent with
.Lcopy8_fault)

Before we rework the "pmem api" to stop abusing __copy_user_nocache()
for memcpy_to_pmem() we need to fix cases where we may strand dirty data
in the cpu cache. The problem occurs when copy_from_iter_pmem() is used
for arbitrary data transfers from userspace. There is no guarantee that
these transfers, performed by dax_iomap_actor(), will have aligned
destinations or aligned transfer lengths. Backstop the usage
__copy_user_nocache() with explicit cache management in these unaligned
cases.
Yes, copy_from_iter_pmem() is now too big for an inline, but addressing
that is saved for a later patch that moves the entirety of the "pmem
api" into the pmem driver directly.

This fixes Continuous Availability when errors during
file reopen are encountered.
cifs_user_readv and cifs_user_writev would wait for ever if
results of cifs_reopen_file are not stored and for later inspection.
In fact, results are checked and, in case of errors, a chain
of function calls leading to reads and writes to be scheduled in
a separate thread is skipped.
These threads will wake up the corresponding waiters once reads
and writes are done.
However, given the return value is not stored, when rc is checked
for errors a previous one (always zero) is inspected instead.
This leads to pending reads/writes added to the list, making
cifs_user_readv and cifs_user_writev wait for ever.

The NV4A (aka NV44A) is an oddity in the family. It only comes in AGP
and PCI varieties, rather than a core PCIE chip with a bridge for
AGP/PCI as necessary. As a result, it appears that the MMU is also
non-functional. For AGP cards, the vast majority of the NV4A lineup,
this worked out since we force AGP cards to use the nv04 mmu. However
for PCI variants, this did not work.
Switching to the NV04 MMU makes it work like a charm. Thanks to mwk for
the suggestion. This should be a no-op for NV4A AGP boards, as they were
using it already.

Both MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE handled with down_read(mmap_sem).
It's critical to not clear pmd intermittently while handling MADV_FREE
to avoid race with MADV_DONTNEED:
CPU0: CPU1:
madvise_free_huge_pmd()
pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full()
madvise_dontneed()
zap_pmd_range()
pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) == 0 (without ptl)
// skip the pmd
set_pmd_at();
// pmd is re-established
It results in MADV_DONTNEED skipping the pmd, leaving it not cleared.
It violates MADV_DONTNEED interface and can result is userspace
misbehaviour.
Basically it's the same race as with numa balancing in
change_huge_pmd(), but a bit simpler to mitigate: we don't need to
preserve dirty/young flags here due to MADV_FREE functionality.

commit 77f88796cee819b9c4562b0b6b44691b3b7755b1 upstream.
Creation of a kthread goes through a couple interlocked stages between
the kthread itself and its creator. Once the new kthread starts
running, it initializes itself and wakes up the creator. The creator
then can further configure the kthread and then let it start doing its
job by waking it up.
In this configuration-by-creator stage, the creator is the only one
that can wake it up but the kthread is visible to userland. When
altering the kthread's attributes from userland is allowed, this is
fine; however, for cases where CPU affinity is critical,
kthread_bind() is used to first disable affinity changes from userland
and then set the affinity. This also prevents the kthread from being
migrated into non-root cgroups as that can affect the CPU affinity and
many other things.
Unfortunately, the cgroup side of protection is racy. While the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag prevents further migrations, userland can win
the race before the creator sets the flag with kthread_bind() and put
the kthread in a non-root cgroup, which can lead to all sorts of
problems including incorrect CPU affinity and starvation.
This bug got triggered by userland which periodically tries to migrate
all processes in the root cpuset cgroup to a non-root one. Per-cpu
workqueue workers got caught while being created and ended up with
incorrected CPU affinity breaking concurrency management and sometimes
stalling workqueue execution.
This patch adds task->no_cgroup_migration which disallows the task to
be migrated by userland. kthreadd starts with the flag set making
every child kthread start in the root cgroup with migration
disallowed. The flag is cleared after the kthread finishes
initialization by which time PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set if the kthread
should stay in the root cgroup.
It'd be better to wait for the initialization instead of failing but I
couldn't think of a way of implementing that without adding either a
new PF flag, or sleeping and retrying from waiting side. Even if
userland depends on changing cgroup membership of a kthread, it either
has to be synchronized with kthread_create() or periodically repeat,
so it's unlikely that this would break anything.
v2: Switch to a simpler implementation using a new task_struct bit
field suggested by Oleg.
