commit f9cae926f35e8230330f28c7b743ad088611a8de upstream.

When we are processing writeback for sync(2), move_expired_inodes()
didn't set any inode expiry value (older_than_this). This can result in
writeback never completing if there's steady stream of inodes added to
b_dirty_time list as writeback rechecks dirty lists after each writeback
round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using
sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time
list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some
refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code
noticeably as a bonus.

<title>writeback: Avoid skipping inode writeback</title>

commit 5afced3bf28100d81fb2fe7e98918632a08feaf5 upstream.

Inode's i_io_list list head is used to attach inode to several different
lists - wb-&gt;{b_dirty, b_dirty_time, b_io, b_more_io}. When flush worker
prepares a list of inodes to writeback e.g. for sync(2), it moves inodes
to b_io list. Thus it is critical for sync(2) data integrity guarantees
that inode is not requeued to any other writeback list when inode is
queued for processing by flush worker. That's the reason why
writeback_single_inode() does not touch i_io_list (unless the inode is
completely clean) and why __mark_inode_dirty() does not touch i_io_list
if I_SYNC flag is set.

However there are two flaws in the current logic:

1) When inode has only I_DIRTY_TIME set but it is already queued in b_io
list due to sync(2), concurrent __mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC)
can still move inode back to b_dirty list resulting in skipping
writeback of inode time stamps during sync(2).

2) When inode is on b_dirty_time list and writeback_single_inode() races
with __mark_inode_dirty() like:

writeback_single_inode()		__mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_PAGES)
  inode-&gt;i_state |= I_SYNC
  __writeback_single_inode()
					  inode-&gt;i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES;
					  if (inode-&gt;i_state &amp; I_SYNC)
					    bail
  if (!(inode-&gt;i_state &amp; I_DIRTY_ALL))
  - not true so nothing done

We end up with I_DIRTY_PAGES inode on b_dirty_time list and thus
standard background writeback will not writeback this inode leading to
possible dirty throttling stalls etc. (thanks to Martijn Coenen for this
analysis).

Fix these problems by tracking whether inode is queued in b_io or
b_more_io lists in a new I_SYNC_QUEUED flag. When this flag is set, we
know flush worker has queued inode and we should not touch i_io_list.
On the other hand we also know that once flush worker is done with the
inode it will requeue the inode to appropriate dirty list. When
I_SYNC_QUEUED is not set, __mark_inode_dirty() can (and must) move inode
to appropriate dirty list.

<title>coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumping</title>

[ Upstream commit 59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74 ]

When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem
holders outside the context of the process, we focused on
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix
race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core
dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be
taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed
while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels.

If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the
mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process,
that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing
through that mm_count reference.

khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process,
but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the
khugepaged kernel thread.

collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't
modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the
coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an
invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon.  collapse_huge_page()
needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that
call pmd_trans_huge_lock().

Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a
"pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs.

The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading,
which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a
functional pmd_trans_huge_lock().

So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's
not running concurrently with the coredump...  as long as the coredump
can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading.

This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view
it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be
rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading.
So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

commit f3751ad0116fb6881f2c3c957d66a9327f69cefb upstream.

__tracepoint_string's have their string data stored in .rodata, and an
address to that data stored in the "__tracepoint_str" section. Functions
that refer to those strings refer to the symbol of the address. Compiler
optimization can replace those address references with references
directly to the string data. If the address doesn't appear to have other
uses, then it appears dead to the compiler and is removed. This can
break the /tracing/printk_formats sysfs node which iterates the
addresses stored in the "__tracepoint_str" section.

Like other strings stored in custom sections in this header, mark these
__used to inform the compiler that there are other non-obvious users of
the address, so they should still be emitted.

[ Upstream commit 8c0de6e96c9794cb523a516c465991a70245da1c ]

IPV6_ADDRFORM causes resource leaks when converting an IPv6 socket
to IPv4, particularly struct ipv6_ac_socklist. Similar to
struct ipv6_mc_socklist, we should just close it on this path.

This bug can be easily reproduced with the following C program:

  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;string.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/socket.h&gt;
  #include &lt;arpa/inet.h&gt;

  int main()
  {
    int s, value;
    struct sockaddr_in6 addr;
    struct ipv6_mreq m6;

    s = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
    addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6;
    addr.sin6_port = htons(5000);
    inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::ffff:192.168.122.194", &amp;addr.sin6_addr);
    connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&amp;addr, sizeof(addr));

    inet_pton(AF_INET6, "fe80::AAAA", &amp;m6.ipv6mr_multiaddr);
    m6.ipv6mr_interface = 5;
    setsockopt(s, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_JOIN_ANYCAST, &amp;m6, sizeof(m6));

    value = AF_INET;
    setsockopt(s, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_ADDRFORM, &amp;value, sizeof(value));

    close(s);
    return 0;
  }

commit c0842fbc1b18c7a044e6ff3e8fa78bfa822c7d1a upstream.

The addition of percpu.h to the list of includes in random.h revealed
some circular dependencies on arm64 and possibly other platforms.  This
include was added solely for the pseudo-random definitions, which have
nothing to do with the rest of the definitions in this file but are
still there for legacy reasons.

This patch moves the pseudo-random parts to linux/prandom.h and the
percpu.h include with it, which is now guarded by _LINUX_PRANDOM_H and
protected against recursive inclusion.

A further cleanup step would be to remove this from &lt;linux/random.h&gt;
entirely, and make people who use the prandom infrastructure include
just the new header file.  That's a bit of a churn patch, but grepping
for "prandom_" and "next_pseudo_random32" "struct rnd_state" should
catch most users.

But it turns out that that nice cleanup step is fairly painful, because
a _lot_ of code currently seems to depend on the implicit include of
&lt;linux/random.h&gt;, which can currently come in a lot of ways, including
such fairly core headfers as &lt;linux/net.h&gt;.

So the "nice cleanup" part may or may never happen.

commit 83bdc7275e6206f560d247be856bceba3e1ed8f2 upstream.

It turns out that the plugin right now ends up being really unhappy
about the change from 'static' to 'extern' storage that happened in
commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity").

This is probably a trivial fix for the latent_entropy plugin, but for
now, just remove net_rand_state from the list of things the plugin
worries about.

commit 1c9df907da83812e4f33b59d3d142c864d9da57f upstream.

Daniel Díaz and Kees Cook independently reported that commit
f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and
activity") broke arm64 due to a circular dependency on include files
since the addition of percpu.h in random.h.

The correct fix would definitely be to move all the prandom32 stuff out
of random.h but for backporting, a smaller solution is preferred.

This one replaces linux/percpu.h with asm/percpu.h, and this fixes the
problem on x86_64, arm64, arm, and mips.  Note that moving percpu.h
around didn't change anything and that removing it entirely broke
differently.  When backporting, such options might still be considered
if this patch fails to help.

[ It turns out that an alternate fix seems to be to just remove the
  troublesome &lt;asm/pointer_auth.h&gt; remove from the arm64 &lt;asm/smp.h&gt;
  that causes the circular dependency.

  But we might as well do the whole belt-and-suspenders thing, and
  minimize inclusion in &lt;linux/random.h&gt; too. Either will fix the
  problem, and both are good changes.   - Linus ]
