2012-12-11ARM: 7597/1: net: bpf_jit_32: fix kzalloc gfp/size mismatch.Schichan Nicolas
Official prototype for kzalloc is: void *kzalloc(size_t, gfp_t); The ARM bpf_jit code was having the assumption that it was: void *kzalloc(gfp_t, size); This was resulting the use of some random GFP flags depending on the size requested and some random overflows once the really needed size was more than the value of GFP_KERNEL. This bug was present since the original inclusion of bpf_jit for ARM (ddecdfce: ARM: 7259/3: net: JIT compiler for packet filters).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks. In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code interpreter could access past the end of the address in the inet_request_sock. Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated properly at all. This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain kernel data structures. Fixes from Neal Cardwell. 2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols (specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping). Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared. It very much can be shared in this context. Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using skb_copy_bits(). Fix from Johannes Berg based upon a report by Eric Leblond. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing inet_diag: validate port comparison byte code to prevent unsafe reads inet_diag: avoid unsafe and nonsensical prefix matches in inet_diag_bc_run() inet_diag: validate byte code to prevent oops in inet_diag_bc_run() inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state

2012-12-10iwlwifi: don't handle masked interruptEmmanuel Grumbach
This can lead to a panic if the driver isn't ready to handle them. Since our interrupt line is shared, we can get an interrupt at any time (and CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ checks that even when the interrupt is being freed). If the op_mode has gone away, we musn't call it. To avoid this the transport disables the interrupts when the hw is stopped and the op_mode is leaving. If there is an event that would cause an interrupt the INTA register is updated regardless of the enablement of the interrupts: even if the interrupts are disabled, the INTA will be changed, but the device won't issue an interrupt. But the ISR can be called at any time, so we ought ignore the value in the INTA otherwise we can call the op_mode after it was freed. I found this bug when the op_mode_start failed, and called iwl_trans_stop_hw(trans, true). Then I played with the RFKILL button, and removed the module. While removing the module, the IRQ is freed, and the ISR is called (CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled). Panic.

2012-12-10iwlwifi: silently ignore fw flaws in Tx pathEmmanuel Grumbach
We know that we have issues with the fw in the reclaim path. This is why iwl_reclaim doesn't complain too loud when it happens since it is recoverable. Somehow, the caller of iwl_reclaim however WARNed when it happens. This doesn't make any sense. When I digged into the history of that code, I discovered that this bug occurs only when we receive a BA notification. So move the W/A in the BA notification handling code where it was before.

2012-12-10ext4: ensure Inode flags consistency are checked at build timeCarlos Maiolino
Flags being used by atomic operations in inode flags (e.g. ext4_test_inode_flag(), should be consistent with that actually stored in inodes, i.e.: EXT4_XXX_FL. It ensures that this consistency is checked at build-time, not at run-time. Currently, the flags consistency are being checked at run-time, but, there is no real reason to not do a build-time check instead of a run-time check. The code is comparing macro defined values with enum type variables, where both are constants, so, there is no problem in comparing constants at build-time. enum variables are treated as constants by the C compiler, according to the C99 specs (see www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf sec. 6.2.5, item 16), so, there is no real problem in comparing an enumeration type at build time Signed-off-by: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-12-10ext4: Remove CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTRTao Ma
Ted has sent out a RFC about removing this feature. Eric and Jan confirmed that both RedHat and SUSE enable this feature in all their product. David also said that "As far as I know, it's enabled in all Android kernels that use ext4." So it seems OK for us. And what's more, as inline data depends its implementation on xattr, and to be frank, I don't run any test again inline data enabled while xattr disabled. So I think we should add inline data and remove this config option in the same release. [ The savings if you disable CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is only 27k, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. Since no one seems to be testing this configuration except for some automated compile farms, on balance we are better removing this config option, and so that it is effectively always enabled. -- tytso ] Cc: David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2012-12-10nfsd: pass proper net to nfsd_destroy() from NFSd kthreadsStanislav Kinsbursky

2012-12-10nfsd: simplify service shutdownStanislav Kinsbursky
Function nfsd_shutdown is called from two places: nfsd_last_thread (when last kernel thread is exiting) and nfsd_svc (in case of kthreads starting error). When calling from nfsd_svc(), we can be sure that per-net resources are allocated, so we don't need to check per-net nfsd_net_up boolean flag. This allows us to remove nfsd_shutdown function at all and move check for per-net nfsd_net_up boolean flag to nfsd_last_thread.

It also modifies nfsd_svc() and nfsd_shutdown() to check nn->nfsd_net_up instead of global nfsd_up. The latter is now used only for generic resources shutdown and is currently useless.

2012-12-10nfsd: make NFSd service structure allocated per netStanislav Kinsbursky
This patch makes main step in NFSd containerisation. There could be different approaches to how to make NFSd able to handle incoming RPC request from different network namespaces. The two main options are: 1) Share NFSd kthreads betwween all network namespaces. 2) Create separated pool of threads for each namespace. While first approach looks more flexible, second one is simpler and non-racy. This patch implements the second option. To make it possible to allocate separate pools of threads, we have to make it possible to allocate separate NFSd service structures per net.

2012-12-10nfsd: avoid permission checks on EXCLUSIVE_CREATE replayNeil Brown
With NFSv4, if we create a file then open it we explicit avoid checking the permissions on the file during the open because the fact that we created it ensures we should be allow to open it (the create and the open should appear to be a single operation). However if the reply to an EXCLUSIVE create gets lots and the client resends the create, the current code will perform the permission check - because it doesn't realise that it did the open already.. This patch should fix this. Note that I haven't actually seen this cause a problem.
