Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on
!PPC_PMAC.  However, this broke both suspend and firewire on powerpc
because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled.

This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code.

Fix broken suspend/resume in ohci1394

I've been experimenting to track down the cause of suspend/resume problems
on my Compaq Presario X1050 laptop:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6075

Essentially the ACPI Embedded Controller and keyboard controller would
get into a bizarre, confused state after resume.

I found that unloading the ohci1394 module before suspend and reloading it
after resume made the problem go away.  Diffing the dmesg output from
resume, with and without the module loaded, I found that with the module
loaded I was missing these:

PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 1. (Was 2100080, writing 2100007)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 3. (Was 0, writing 8008)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 4. (Was 0, writing 90200000)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 5. (Was 1, writing 2401)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset f. (Was 20000100, writing 2000010a)

The default PCI driver performs the pci_restore_state when no driver is
loaded for the device.  When the ohci1394 driver is loaded, it is supposed
to do this, however it appears not to do so.

I created the patch below and tested it, and it appears to resolve the
suspend problems I was having with the module loaded.  I only added in the
pci_save_state and pci_restore_state - however, though I know little of
this hardware, surely the driver should really be doing more than this when
suspending and resuming?  Currently it does almost nothing, what if there
are commands in progress, etc?

fix prctl privilege escalation and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451)

Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides

During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core
dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a
core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have
permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk
consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.

[PATCH] tmpfs: time granularity fix for [acm]time going backwards

I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while
building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to
rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs.

A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp.
However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they
were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL)
was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards.

After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a
time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity.

Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11.
Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems,
does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super.  A few more such
discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now.

[PATCH] Missed error checking for intent's filp in open_namei().

It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned
through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp).

If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside
__path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open
is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only
called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet.

Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and
intent.open.file may be filled.  If it is filled with error value of some
sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as
address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from
filp_open().

While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just
checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as
needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return
"yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup
again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with
potential extra costly RPCs).

So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling
for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this
simple patch as a solution.

[PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix

Fix an infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called
from invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages.
Could sleep while interrupts disabled.

The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in
mm/page_alloc.c __alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is
allowed in the current tasks cpuset.  This routine can sleep,
for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the zone is on a memory
node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be allowed
in a parent cpuset.

But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor
if called for a GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in
gfp_flags).

The rule was intended to be:
  Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
  pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
  the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.

This rule was being violated due to a bogus change made (by myself,
pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort to
cleanup its logic.

The bogus change can be seen at:
  http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/4691.html
  [PATCH 01/05] mm fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags

This was first noticed on a tight memory system, in code that
was disabling interrupts and doing allocation requests with
__GFP_WAIT not set, which resulted in __might_sleep() writing
complaints to the log "Debug: sleeping function called ...",
when the code in cpuset_zone_allowed() tried to take the
callback_sem cpuset semaphore.

Special thanks to Dave Chinner, for figuring this out,

Fix memory corruption caused by snmp_trap_decode:

- When snmp_trap_decode fails before the id and address are allocated,
  the pointers contain random memory, but are freed by the caller

- When snmp_trap_decode fails after allocating just the ID, it tries

  random memory. The caller frees both ID and random memory again.

- When snmp_trap_decode fails after allocating both, it frees both,
  and the callers frees both again.

The corruption can be triggered remotely when the ip_nat_snmp_basic
module is loaded and traffic on port 161 or 162 is NATed.

ptes pointing to the page.  We need to first unmap the ptes before checking
for PageDirty().  If unmap is successful then the page count of the page
will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.

This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17.  Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions.  Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages.  Migration of dirty pages can result in the

Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping.  Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful.  However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.

[PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem

Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.

In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op.  Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing.  In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out.  However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false.  This will abort all subsequent
migrations.

This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path.  We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages.  This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.

I think this is safe.  If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

Can be verified with memtoy and the shmem-mbind-test script, both
available at:  http://free.linux.hp.com/~lts/Tools/

shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.

Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.

This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

[PATCH] PCI: correctly allocate return buffers for osc calls

The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values,
and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value.  This causes the
acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is,
and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided
buffer.  In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is
overwritten is a pointer.  This patch will change these calls to use a
dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide
how much space is needed.

[PATCH] Netfilter: do_add_counters race, possible oops or info leak (CVE-2006-0039)

Solar Designer found a race condition in do_add_counters(). The beginning
of paddc is supposed to be the same as tmp which was sanity-checked
above, but it might not be the same in reality. In case the integer
overflow and/or the race condition are triggered, paddc->num_counters
might not match the allocation size for paddc. If the check below
(t->private->number != paddc->num_counters) nevertheless passes (perhaps
this requires the race condition to be triggered), IPT_ENTRY_ITERATE()
would read kernel memory beyond the allocation size, potentially causing
an oops or leaking sensitive data (e.g., passwords from host system or
from another VPS) via counter increments.  This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN.

17 years ago[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path
Jan Niehusmann [Mon, 15 May 2006 16:44:12 +0000 (09:44 -0700)]
[PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path

Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link.  I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.

In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS.  Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.

In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:

        if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
                /*
                 * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
                 * request from the recvq/xmitq.
                 */
                smb_lock_server(server);
                if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
                        list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
                        smb_rput(req);
                }
                smb_unlock_server(server);
        }
[...]
        if (signal_pending(current))
                req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;

I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set.  This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.

Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab.  As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).

If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.

I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

[PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() race

sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the
multi-thread case.

Thread 1 Thread 2

sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)

If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will
end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.

Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.

This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
lockd handling of flock.

[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards

Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.

Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded.  On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding.  This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.

Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.

Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used.  This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary.  There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.

The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident.  Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host.  I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

[PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix lease_init (CVE-2006-1860)

It is insane to be giving lease_init() the task of freeing the lock it is
supposed to initialise, given that the lock is not guaranteed to be
allocated on the stack. This causes lockups in fcntl_setlease().
Problem diagnosed by Daniel Hokka Zakrisson <daniel@hozac.com>

Also fix a slab leak in __setlease() due to an uninitialised return value.
