[ Upstream commit c87a124a5d5e8cf8e21c4363c3372bcaf53ea190 ]

Roman Gushchin discovered that udp4_lib_lookup2() was not reloading
first item in the rcu protected list, in case the loop was restarted.

This produced soft lockups as in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/16/37

rcu_dereference(X)/ACCESS_ONCE(X) seem to not work as intended if X is
ptr-&gt;field :

In some cases, gcc caches the value or ptr-&gt;field in a register.

Use a barrier() to disallow such caching, as documented in
Documentation/atomic_ops.txt line 114

Thanks a lot to Roman for providing analysis and numerous patches.

  a7526eb5d06b0084ef12d7b168d008fcf516caab ]

MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is (AFAIK) not intended to be part of the API --
it's a hack that steals a bit to indicate to other networking code
that a compat entry was used.  So don't allow it from a non-compat
syscall.

This prevents an oops when running this code:

int main()
{
	int s;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	struct msghdr *hdr;

	char *highpage = mmap((void*)(TASK_SIZE_MAX - 4096), 4096,
	                      PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
	                      MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
	if (highpage == MAP_FAILED)
		err(1, "mmap");

	s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
	if (s == -1)
		err(1, "socket");

        addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        addr.sin_port = htons(1);
        addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
	if (connect(s, (struct sockaddr*)&amp;addr, sizeof(addr)) != 0)
		err(1, "connect");

	void *evil = highpage + 4096 - COMPAT_MSGHDR_SIZE;
	printf("Evil address is %p\n", evil);

	if (syscall(__NR_sendmmsg, s, evil, 1, MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) &lt; 0)
		err(1, "sendmmsg");

	return 0;
}

<content type='text'>
commit 30dad30922ccc733cfdbfe232090cf674dc374dc upstream.

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes.  As a result, users who try
to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally
experience long delay or soft lockup.

This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage.  This patch introduces
migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

<title>wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:26deb18bd5aa6e3d7099b291038fef47b31cbf69</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4c663cfc523a88d97a8309b04a089c27dc57fd7e upstream.

Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be
positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout
elapses.  However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed.  If the wake-up
handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be
calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the
condition became true before the timeout has passed.

Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true.  This
semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see
commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious
failure under heavy load").

Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915.  One case even
where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible
wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same
semantics.  I very much like this."

One such bug is reported at

<title>ipv6: do not clear pinet6 field</title>

[ Upstream commit f77d602124d865c38705df7fa25c03de9c284ad2 ]

We have seen multiple NULL dereferences in __inet6_lookup_established()

After analysis, I found that inet6_sk() could be NULL while the
check for sk_family == AF_INET6 was true.

Bug was added in linux-2.6.29 when RCU lookups were introduced in UDP
and TCP stacks.

Once an IPv6 socket, using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is inserted in a hash
table, we no longer can clear pinet6 field.

This patch extends logic used in commit fcbdf09d9652c891
("net: fix nulls list corruptions in sk_prot_alloc")

TCP/UDP/UDPLite IPv6 protocols provide their own .clear_sk() method
to make sure we do not clear pinet6 field.

At socket clone phase, we do not really care, as cloning the parent (non
NULL) pinet6 is not adding a fatal race.

<title>macvlan: fix passthru mode race between dev removal and rx path</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 233c7df0821c4190e2d3f4be0f2ca0ab40a5ed8c, note
  that I had to add list_first_or_null_rcu to rculist.h in order
  to accomodate this fix. ]

Currently, if macvlan in passthru mode is created and data are rxed and
you remove this device, following panic happens:

NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000198
IP: [&lt;ffffffffa0196058&gt;] macvlan_handle_frame+0x153/0x1f7 [macvlan]

I'm using following script to trigger this:
&lt;script&gt;
while [ 1 ]
do
	ip link add link e1 name macvtap0 type macvtap mode passthru
	ip link set e1 up
	ip link set macvtap0 up
	IFINDEX=`ip link |grep macvtap0 | cut -f 1 -d ':'`
	cat /dev/tap$IFINDEX  &gt;/dev/null &amp;
	ip link del dev macvtap0
done
&lt;/script&gt;

I run this script while "ping -f" is running on another machine to send
packets to e1 rx.

Reason of the panic is that list_first_entry() is blindly called in
macvlan_handle_frame() even if the list was empty. vlan is set to
incorrect pointer which leads to the crash.

I'm fixing this by protecting port-&gt;vlans list by rcu and by preventing
from getting incorrect pointer in case the list is empty.

commit d69f3bad4675ac519d41ca2b11e1c00ca115cecd upstream.

Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of
memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB
would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB.  By setting
kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work.

In the newseg() function, ns-&gt;shm_tot which, at 8TiB is INT_MAX.

ipc/shm.c:
 458 static int newseg(struct ipc_namespace *ns, struct ipc_params *params)
 459 {
...
 465         int numpages = (size + PAGE_SIZE -1) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT;
...
 474         if (ns-&gt;shm_tot + numpages &gt; ns-&gt;shm_ctlall)
 475                 return -ENOSPC;

[ Upstream commit 83f1b4ba917db5dc5a061a44b3403ddb6e783494 ]

Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm
sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective
uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid.

Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.

This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.
