commit 70ed7148dadb812f2f7c9927e98ef3cf4869dfa9 upstream.

KASAN detects a use-after-free when vop devices are removed.

This problem was introduced by commit 0063e8bbd2b62d136 ("virtio_vop:
don't kfree device on register failure").  That patch moved the freeing
of the struct _vop_vdev to the release function, but failed to ensure
that vop holds a reference to the device when it doesn't want it to go
away.  A kfree() was replaced with a put_device() in the unregistration
path, but the last reference to the device is already dropped in
unregister_virtio_device() so the struct is freed before vop is done
with it.

Fix it by holding a reference until cleanup is done.  This is similar to
the fix in virtio_pci in commit 2989be09a8a9d6 ("virtio_pci: fix use
after free on release").

<title>mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers</title>
<updated>2018-08-22T17:52:44Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:93065ac753e4443840a057bfef4be71ec766fde9</id>
<content type='text'>
There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.

Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep.  That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.

We can do much better though.  Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held.  Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range.  Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.

This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false.  This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.

I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that.  The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.

The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode.  A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.

The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom.  This can be done e.g.  after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small.  Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.

There are only 2 callers of scif_get_new_port() and both appear to get
the error handling wrong.  Both treat zero returns as error, but it
actually returns negative error codes and &gt;= 0 on success.

I noticed that the mic driver passes a 'struct timespec64' as part of
a message into an attached device, where it is used to set the current
system time.

This won't actually work if one of the two sides runs a 32-bit kernel and
the other runs a 64-bit kernel, since the structure layout is different
between the two.

I found this while replacing calls to the deprecated do_settimeofday64()
interface with the modern ktime_get_real_ts() variant, but it seems
appropriate to address both at the same time here.

To make sure we have a sane structure, let's define our own structure
using the layout of the 64-bit kernel.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
