2009-01-05CRED: Fix regression in cap_capable() as shown up by sys_faccessat() [ver #2]David Howells
Fix a regression in cap_capable() due to: commit 5ff7711e635b32f0a1e558227d030c7e45b4a465 Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Date: Wed Dec 31 02:52:28 2008 +0000 CRED: Differentiate objective and effective subjective credentials on a task The problem is that the above patch allows a process to have two sets of credentials, and for the most part uses the subjective credentials when accessing current's creds. There is, however, one exception: cap_capable(), and thus capable(), uses the real/objective credentials of the target task, whether or not it is the current task. Ordinarily this doesn't matter, since usually the two cred pointers in current point to the same set of creds. However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this facility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test, without affecting the creds as seen from other processes. One of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the effective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores. The affected capability check is in generic_permission(): if (!(mask & MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode)) if (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE)) return 0; This change splits capable() from has_capability() down into the commoncap and SELinux code. The capable() security op now only deals with the current process, and uses the current process's subjective creds. A new security op - task_capable() - is introduced that can check any task's objective creds. strictly the capable() security op is superfluous with the presence of the task_capable() op, however it should be faster to call the capable() op since two fewer arguments need be passed down through the various layers. This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite: /* * t_access_root.c - trivial test program to show permission bug. * * Written by Michael Kerrisk - copyright ownership not pursued. * Sourced from: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2003-10/6030.html */ #include <limits.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #define UID 500 #define GID 100 #define PERM 0 #define TESTPATH "/tmp/t_access" static void errExit(char *msg) { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* errExit */ static void accessTest(char *file, int mask, char *mstr) { printf("access(%s, %s) returns %d\n", file, mstr, access(file, mask)); } /* accessTest */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd, perm, uid, gid; char *testpath; char cmd[PATH_MAX + 20]; testpath = (argc > 1) ? argv[1] : TESTPATH; perm = (argc > 2) ? strtoul(argv[2], NULL, 8) : PERM; uid = (argc > 3) ? atoi(argv[3]) : UID; gid = (argc > 4) ? atoi(argv[4]) : GID; unlink(testpath); fd = open(testpath, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0); if (fd == -1) errExit("open"); if (fchown(fd, uid, gid) == -1) errExit("fchown"); if (fchmod(fd, perm) == -1) errExit("fchmod"); close(fd); snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "ls -l %s", testpath); system(cmd); if (seteuid(uid) == -1) errExit("seteuid"); accessTest(testpath, 0, "0"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK, "R_OK"); accessTest(testpath, W_OK, "W_OK"); accessTest(testpath, X_OK, "X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | W_OK, "R_OK | W_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | X_OK, "R_OK | X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, W_OK | X_OK, "W_OK | X_OK"); accessTest(testpath, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK, "R_OK | W_OK | X_OK"); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } /* main */ This can be run against an Ext3 filesystem as well as against an XFS filesystem.

2009-01-04gro: Add page frag supportHerbert Xu
This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags) in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list. It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's lro_receive_frags interface. The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed there. The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation. If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

2009-01-04gro: Use gso_size to store MSSHerbert Xu
In order to allow GRO packets without frag_list at all, we need to store the MSS in the packet itself. The obvious place is gso_size. The only thing to watch out for is if the packet ends up not being GRO then we need to clear gso_size before pushing the packet into the stack.

2009-01-04ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.David S. Miller
Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky. The core problem is that on a network with lots of active multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does in ineffective because route entries hold a reference to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate entries with no references. IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS). So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

2009-01-04firewire: reorder struct fw_card for better cache efficiencyStefan Richter
topology_map is by far the largest member in struct fw_card. Move it to the very end of the struct so that card pointer dereferences have better chances to hit the CPU cache. This requires to increase the topology_map backing store to the size specified in IEEE 1394, i.e. 256 rather than 255 quadlets. Otherwise the topology_map response handler may access invalid memory.

2009-01-04ieee1394: ignore nonzero Bus_Info_Block.max_rom, fetch config ROM in quadletsStefan Richter
It is already known that buggy firmwares exist which report a bogus link_spd in their config ROM bus info block. We now got the first report of a bogus max_rom too (Freecom FireWire Hard Drive 1TB, http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12206). I suspect other OSs only use quadlet reads to fetch the config ROM, otherwise the firmware authors would have noticed their mistake. Hence limit ieee1394's config ROM fetching routine to quadlets as the safe minimum regardless of what the bus info block says. This will potentially slow the bus reset handling by nodemgr somewhat down. But most existing devices support only quadlet reads anyway, hence there will often be no actual difference to before this change. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

2009-01-05stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy.Heiko Carstens
Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine. When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with stop_machine_destroy again. When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old behaviour of stop_machine. This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine. However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine gets called. Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.

2009-01-05parisc: fix module loading failure of large kernel modulesHelge Deller
On 32bit (and sometimes 64bit) and with big kernel modules like xfs or ipv6 the relocation types R_PARISC_PCREL17F and R_PARISC_PCREL22F may fail to reach their PLT stub if we only create one big stub array for all sections at the beginning of the core or init section. With this patch we now instead add individual PLT stub entries directly in front of the code sections where the stubs are actually called. This reduces the distance between the PCREL location and the stub entry so that the relocations can be fulfilled. While calculating the final layout of the kernel module in memory, the kernel module loader calls arch_mod_section_prepend() to request the to be reserved amount of memory in front of each individual section.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

2009-01-04viafb: fix crashes due to 4k stack overflowBruno Prémont
The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits; CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space. Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.

2009-01-04fs: introduce bgl_lock_ptr()Pekka Enberg
As suggested by Andreas Dilger, introduce a bgl_lock_ptr() helper in <linux/blockgroup_lock.h> and add separate sb_bgl_lock() helpers to filesystem specific header files to break the hidden dependency to struct ext[234]_sb_info. Also, while at it, convert the macros to static inlines to try make up for all the times I broke Andrew Morton's tree.

2009-01-04cgroups: fix a race between cgroup_clone and umountLi Zefan
The race is calling cgroup_clone() while umounting the ns cgroup subsys, and thus cgroup_clone() might access invalid cgroup_fs, or kill_sb() is called after cgroup_clone() created a new dir in it. The BUG I triggered is BUG_ON(root->number_of_cgroups != 1); ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at kernel/cgroup.c:1093! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

2009-01-04audit: validate comparison operations, store them in sane formAl Viro
Don't store the field->op in the messy (and very inconvenient for e.g. audit_comparator()) form; translate to dense set of values and do full validation of userland-submitted value while we are at it. ->audit_init_rule() and ->audit_match_rule() get new values now; in-tree instances updated.

2009-01-04audit rules ordering, part 2Al Viro
Fix the actual rule listing; add per-type lists _not_ used for matching, with all exit,... sitting on one such list. Simplifies "do something for all rules" logics, while we are at it... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-01-04fixing audit rule ordering mess, part 1Al Viro
Problem: ordering between the rules on exit chain is currently lost; all watch and inode rules are listed after everything else _and_ exit,never on one kind doesn't stop exit,always on another from being matched. Solution: assign priorities to rules, keep track of the current highest-priority matching rule and its result (always/never). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
