crypto: scatterwalk - Use sg_chain_ptr on chain entries

2013-12-12T06:36:29Z

commit 389a5390583a18e45bc4abd4439291abec5e7a63 upstream. Now that scatterwalk_sg_chain sets the chain pointer bit the sg_page call in scatterwalk_sg_next hits a BUG_ON when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled. Use sg_chain_ptr instead of sg_page on a chain entry.

lib/genalloc.c: fix overflow of ending address of memory chunk

2013-12-12T06:36:28Z

commit 674470d97958a0ec72f72caf7f6451da40159cc7 upstream. In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk (inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of correct ending address. The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g. when starting address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending address will be 0x100000000. Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

SCSI: Disable WRITE SAME for RAID and virtual host adapter drivers

2013-12-12T06:36:28Z

commit 54b2b50c20a61b51199bedb6e5d2f8ec2568fb43 upstream. Some host adapters do not pass commands through to the target disk directly. Instead they provide an emulated target which may or may not accurately report its capabilities. In some cases the physical device characteristics are reported even when the host adapter is processing commands on the device's behalf. This can lead to adapter firmware hangs or excessive I/O errors. This patch disables WRITE SAME for devices connected to host adapters that provide an emulated target. Driver writers can disable WRITE SAME by setting the no_write_same flag in the host adapter template. [jejb: fix up rejections due to eh_deadline patch] Signed-off-by: Martin K.

crypto: scatterwalk - Set the chain pointer indication bit

2013-12-12T06:36:26Z

commit 41da8b5adba77e22584f8b45f9641504fa885308 upstream. The scatterwalk_crypto_chain function invokes the scatterwalk_sg_chain function to chain two scatterlists, but the chain pointer indication bit is not set. When the resulting scatterlist is used, for example, by sg_nents to count the number of scatterlist entries, a segfault occurs because sg_nents does not follow the chain pointer to the chained scatterlist. Update scatterwalk_sg_chain to set the chain pointer indication bit as is done by the sg_chain function. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mm: numa: return the number of base pages altered by protection changes

2013-12-08T15:29:27Z

commit 72403b4a0fbdf433c1fe0127e49864658f6f6468 upstream. Commit 0255d4918480 ("mm: Account for a THP NUMA hinting update as one PTE update") was added to account for the number of PTE updates when marking pages prot_numa. task_numa_work was using the old return value to track how much address space had been updated. Altering the return value causes the scanner to do more work than it is configured or documented to in a single unit of work. This patch reverts that commit and accounts for the number of THP updates separately in vmstat. It is up to the administrator to interpret the pair of values correctly. This is a straight-forward operation and likely to only be of interest when actively debugging NUMA balancing problems. The impact of this patch is that the NUMA PTE scanner will scan slower when THP is enabled and workloads may converge slower as a result. On the flip size system CPU usage should be lower than recent tests reported. This is an illustrative example of a short single JVM specjbb test specjbb 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanilla acctupdates TPut 1 26143.00 ( 0.00%) 25747.00 ( -1.51%) TPut 7 185257.00 ( 0.00%) 183202.00 ( -1.11%) TPut 13 329760.00 ( 0.00%) 346577.00 ( 5.10%) TPut 19 442502.00 ( 0.00%) 460146.00 ( 3.99%) TPut 25 540634.00 ( 0.00%) 549053.00 ( 1.56%) TPut 31 512098.00 ( 0.00%) 519611.00 ( 1.47%) TPut 37 461276.00 ( 0.00%) 474973.00 ( 2.97%) TPut 43 403089.00 ( 0.00%) 414172.00 ( 2.75%) 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanillaacctupdates User 5169.64 5184.14 System 100.45 80.02 Elapsed 252.75 251.85 Performance is similar but note the reduction in system CPU time.

netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs

2013-12-08T15:29:25Z

[ Upstream commit 6aafeef03b9d9ecf255f3a80ed85ee070260e1ae ] Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following example: On HOSTA do: ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT and on HOSTB you do: ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500) Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen) As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed. Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

inet: fix addr_len/msg->msg_namelen assignment in recv_error and rxpmtu functions

2013-12-08T15:29:25Z

[ Upstream commit 85fbaa75037d0b6b786ff18658ddf0b4014ce2a4 ] Commit bceaa90240b6019ed73b49965eac7d167610be69 ("inet: prevent leakage of uninitialized memory to user in recv syscalls") conditionally updated addr_len if the msg_name is written to. The recv_error and rxpmtu functions relied on the recvmsg functions to set up addr_len before. As this does not happen any more we have to pass addr_len to those functions as well and set it to the size of the corresponding sockaddr length. This broke traceroute and such.

net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic

2013-12-08T15:29:25Z

[ Upstream commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ] This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.
