There's a small problem with smack and NFS. A similar report was also

I've also added similar checks in inode_{get/set}security().  Cheating from
SELinux post_create_socket(), it does the same.

xtime_lock vs update_process_times

Commit d3d74453c34f8fd87674a8cf5b8a327c68f22e99 ("hrtimer: fixup the
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
sending this for merger.

I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.

The deadlock in question was found by Russell:

  IRQ handle
    -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
      -> update_process_times()
        -> run_local_timers()
          -> hrtimer_run_queues()
            -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock

Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
removed from under it.

16 years agomempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodes
KOSAKI Motohiro [Tue, 12 Feb 2008 04:30:22 +0000 (13:30 +0900)] 
mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodes

Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the
presence of memoryless nodes.  This patch attempts to fix that problem.

Some background:

numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated
[out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask.  set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()]
calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a
subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned.

A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
i.e., nodes with memory.  So, a fully populated nodemask will be
declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes.

  NOTE:  the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset
         with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason:
         node mask contains dis-allowed nodes.

mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask
that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed.

In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will
complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any
memoryless nodes.  This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove
memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called
by mpol_new() for BIND policy.

Proposed fix:

1) modify contextualize_policy logic to:
   a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty.
   b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is
      currently done in-line for mbind().  This guarantees
      that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory.

      NOTE:  this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for
             set_mempolicy().  Dis-allowed nodes will be
             silently ignored, rather than returning an error.

   c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to
      contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly
      and remove contextualize_policy().

2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization":
   a) MPOL_DEFAULT:  require that in coming mask "was_empty"
   b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}:  require that contextualized nodemask
      contains at least one node.
   c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED:  if in coming was not empty
      and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes.
      Return EINVAL.
   c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes

3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave
   policy from mpol_new().

4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove
   the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind().  I believe that this
   restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes
   patch series.  E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask
   with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation.

[ Patch history:

  v1 -> v2:
   - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to
     mpol_check_policy() for better error checking.
   - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused
     cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h

  v2 -> v3:
   - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization"
     of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().  Looks a little
     cleaner. ]

Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()

So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.

In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop.  So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1.  At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().

I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do.  Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code.  I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.

Commit bdc807871d58285737d50dc6163d0feb72cb0dc2 broke the build
for this config because the sim_defconfig selects CONFIG_HZ=250
but include/asm-ia64/param.h has an ifdef for the simulator to
force HZ to 32.  So we ended up with a kernel/timeconst.h set
for HZ=250 ... which then failed the check for the right HZ
value and died with:

Drop the #ifdef magic from param.h and make force CONFIG_HZ=32
directly for the simulator.

    ide: switch idedisk_prepare_flush() to use REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE requests

...

broke flush requests.

Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not
a very brilliant idea:

- idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait
  for it to be completed

- there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue

Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by:
- dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC)
- adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN)
- calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set
  (while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage)

[ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather
  critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ]

Thanks to Sebastian Siewior and Christoph Hellwig for reporting the
problem and testing patches (extra thanks to Sebastian for bisecting

NLM: set RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NOPING for NLM RPC clients

It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely
lock up a server's lockd. The scenario is something like this:

1) client1 (or a process on the server) takes a lock on a file
2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and
   awaits the callback
3) client2 goes unresponsive (plug pulled, network partition, etc)
4) client1 releases the lock

...at that point the server's lockd will try to queue up a GRANT_MSG
callback for client2, but first it requeues the block with a timeout of
30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and
will call rpc_ping. rpc_ping entails a sync RPC call and if client2 is
unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times
out, it's already time to retry the block and the whole process repeats.

Once in this situation, nlmsvc_retry_blocked will never return until
the host starts responding again. lockd won't service new calls.

Fix this by skipping the RPC ping on NLM RPC clients. This makes
nlm_async_call return quickly when called.
