Provide a function to create a NUL-terminated string from unterminated data

2018-02-25T10:01:18Z

commit f35157417215ec138c920320c746fdb3e04ef1d5 upstream. Provide a function, kmemdup_nul(), that will create a NUL-terminated string from an unterminated character array where the length is known in advance. This is better than kstrndup() in situations where we already know the string length as the strnlen() in kstrndup() is superfluous.

tcp: __tcp_hdrlen() helper

2018-01-31T13:46:15Z

commit d9b3fca27385eafe61c3ca6feab6cb1e7dc77482 upstream. tcp_hdrlen is wasteful if you already have a pointer to struct tcphdr. This splits the size calculation into a helper function that can be used if a struct tcphdr is already available. Signed-off-by: Craig Gallek Signed-off-by: David S.

net: stmmac: enable EEE in MII, GMII or RGMII only

2018-01-17T08:29:30Z

[ Upstream commit 879626e3a52630316d817cbda7cec9a5446d1d82 ] Note in the databook - Section 4.4 - EEE : " The EEE feature is not supported when the MAC is configured to use the TBI, RTBI, SMII, RMII or SGMII single PHY interface. Even if the MAC supports multiple PHY interfaces, you should activate the EEE mode only when the MAC is operating with GMII, MII, or RGMII interface." Applying this restriction solves a stability issue observed on Amlogic gxl platforms operating with RMII interface and the internal PHY.

sh_eth: fix SH7757 GEther initialization

2018-01-17T08:29:30Z

[ Upstream commit 5133550296d43236439494aa955bfb765a89f615 ] Renesas SH7757 has 2 Fast and 2 Gigabit Ether controllers, while the 'sh_eth' driver can only reset and initialize TSU of the first controller pair. Shimoda-san tried to solve that adding the 'needs_init' member to the 'struct sh_eth_plat_data', however the platform code still never sets this flag. I think that we can infer this information from the 'devno' variable (set to 'platform_device::id') and reset/init the Ether controller pair only for an even 'devno'; therefore 'sh_eth_plat_data::needs_init' can be removed...

fscache: Fix the default for fscache_maybe_release_page()

2018-01-17T08:29:27Z

commit 98801506552593c9b8ac11021b0cdad12cab4f6b upstream. Fix the default for fscache_maybe_release_page() for when the cookie isn't valid or the page isn't cached. It mustn't return false as that indicates the page cannot yet be freed. The problem with the default is that if, say, there's no cache, but a network filesystem's pages are using up almost all the available memory, a system can OOM because the filesystem ->releasepage() op will not allow them to be released as fscache_maybe_release_page() incorrectly prevents it. This can be tested by writing a sequence of 512MiB files to an AFS mount. It does not affect NFS or CIFS because both of those wrap the call in a check of PG_fscache and it shouldn't bother Ceph as that only has PG_private set whilst writeback is in progress. This might be an issue for 9P, however. Note that the pages aren't entirely stuck. Removing a file or unmounting will clear things because that uses ->invalidatepage() instead.

mm: Handle 0 flags in _calc_vm_trans() macro

2017-12-20T09:01:33Z

[ Upstream commit 592e254502041f953e84d091eae2c68cba04c10b ] _calc_vm_trans() does not handle the situation when some of the passed flags are 0 (which can happen if these VM flags do not make sense for the architecture). Improve the _calc_vm_trans() macro to return 0 in such situation. Since all passed flags are constant, this does not add any runtime overhead.

lib/genalloc.c: make the avail variable an atomic_long_t

2017-12-16T09:32:30Z

[ Upstream commit 36a3d1dd4e16bcd0d2ddfb4a2ec7092f0ae0d931 ] If the amount of resources allocated to a gen_pool exceeds 2^32 then the avail atomic overflows and this causes problems when clients try and borrow resources from the pool. This is only expected to be an issue on 64 bit systems. Add the header to pull in atomic_long* operations. So that 32 bit systems continue to use atomic32_t but 64 bit systems can use atomic64_t.

efi: Move some sysfs files to be read-only by root

2017-12-16T09:32:26Z

commit af97a77bc01ce49a466f9d4c0125479e2e2230b6 upstream. Thanks to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl script, it was found that some EFI values should not be readable by non-root users. So make them root-only, and to do that, add a __ATTR_RO_MODE() macro to make this easier, and use it in other places at the same time.

mm: avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite handlers

2017-12-09T17:29:47Z

[ Upstream commit 0911d0041c22922228ca52a977d7b0b0159fee4b ] Some ->page_mkwrite handlers may return VM_FAULT_RETRY as its return code (GFS2 or Lustre can definitely do this). However VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite is completely unhandled by the mm code and results in locking and writeably mapping the page which definitely is not what the caller wanted. Fix Lustre and block_page_mkwrite_ret() used by other filesystems (notably GFS2) to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead which results in bailing out from the fault code, the CPU then retries the access, and we fault again effectively doing what the handler wanted.

netlink: add a start callback for starting a netlink dump

2017-12-05T10:20:46Z

commit fc9e50f5a5a4e1fa9ba2756f745a13e693cf6a06 upstream. The start callback allows the caller to set up a context for the dump callbacks. Presumably, the context can then be destroyed in the done callback. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Cc: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
