spinlocks and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriers

2013-04-12T16:38:46Z

commit 386afc91144b36b42117b0092893f15bc8798a80 upstream. In UP and non-preempt respectively, the spinlocks and preemption disable/enable points are stubbed out entirely, because there is no regular code that can ever hit the kind of concurrency they are meant to protect against. However, while there is no regular code that can cause scheduling, we _do_ end up having some exceptional (literally!) code that can do so, and that we need to make sure does not ever get moved into the critical region by the compiler. In particular, get_user() and put_user() is generally implemented as inline asm statements (even if the inline asm may then make a call instruction to call out-of-line), and can obviously cause a page fault and IO as a result. If that inline asm has been scheduled into the middle of a preemption-safe (or spinlock-protected) code region, we obviously lose. Now, admittedly this is *very* unlikely to actually ever happen, and we've not seen examples of actual bugs related to this. But partly exactly because it's so hard to trigger and the resulting bug is so subtle, we should be extra careful to get this right. So make sure that even when preemption is disabled, and we don't have to generate any actual *code* to explicitly tell the system that we are in a preemption-disabled region, we need to at least tell the compiler not to move things around the critical region. This patch grew out of the same discussion that caused commits 79e5f05edcbf ("ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq* functions") and 3e2e0d2c222b ("tile: comment assumption about __insn_mtspr for ") to come about. Note for stable: use discretion when/if applying this. As mentioned, this bug may never have actually bitten anybody, and gcc may never have done the required code motion for it to possibly ever trigger in practice.

libata: Set max sector to 65535 for Slimtype DVD A DS8A8SH drive

2013-04-12T16:38:44Z

commit a32450e127fc6e5ca6d958ceb3cfea4d30a00846 upstream. The Slimtype DVD A DS8A8SH drive locks up when max sector is smaller than 65535, and the blow backtrace is observed on locking up: INFO: task flush-8:32:1130 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

libata: Use integer return value for atapi_command_packet_set

2013-04-12T16:38:44Z

commit d8668fcb0b257d9fdcfbe5c172a99b8d85e1cd82 upstream. The function returns type of ATAPI drives so it should return integer value. The commit 4dce8ba94c7 (libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX) since v2.6.39 changed the type of return value from int to bool, the change would cause all of the ATAPI class drives to be treated as TYPE_TAPE and the max_sectors of the drives to be set to 65535 because of the commit f8d8e5799b7(libata: increase 128 KB / cmd limit for ATAPI tape drives), for the function would return true for all ATAPI class drives and the TYPE_TAPE is defined as 0x01.

xen/blkback: correctly respond to unknown, non-native requests

2013-04-05T17:04:18Z

commit 0e367ae46503cfe7791460c8ba8434a5d60b2bd5 upstream. If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request, the request was not translated and the response would have the incorrect ID. This may cause the frontend driver to behave incorrectly or crash. Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place, regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP). This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend. This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would be invalid.

exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth

2013-03-28T19:12:28Z

commit d740269867021faf4ce38a449353d2b986c34a67 upstream. To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists

2013-03-28T19:11:54Z

[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ] This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu. If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed. This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish between the different users of inet_fragment.c. I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path, because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.
