The recent change for USB-audio disconnection race fixes introduced a
mutex deadlock again. There is a circular dependency between
chip->shutdown_rwsem and pcm->open_mutex, depicted like below, when a
device is opened during the disconnection operation:
B. snd_pcm_open() ->
pcm->open_mutex ->
snd_usb_pcm_open() ->
chip->shutdown_rwsem (read)
Since the chip->shutdown_rwsem protection in the case A is required
only for turning on the chip->shutdown flag and it doesn't have to be
taken for the whole operation, we can reduce its window in
snd_usb_audio_disconnect().
There are uncovered cases whether the card refcount introduced by the
commit a0830dbd isn't properly increased or decreased:
- OSS PCM and mixer success paths
- When lookup function gets NULL
When unbinding a device so that I could pass it through to a KVM VM, I
got the lockdep report below. It looks like a legitimate lock
ordering problem:
- domain_context_mapping_one() takes iommu->lock and calls
iommu_support_dev_iotlb(), which takes device_domain_lock (inside
iommu->lock).
- domain_remove_one_dev_info() starts by taking device_domain_lock
then takes iommu->lock inside it (near the end of the function).
So this is the classic AB-BA deadlock. It looks like a safe fix is to
simply release device_domain_lock a bit earlier, since as far as I can
tell, it doesn't protect any of the stuff accessed at the end of
domain_remove_one_dev_info() anyway.
BTW, the use of device_domain_lock looks a bit unsafe to me... it's
at least not obvious to me why we aren't vulnerable to the race below:
Commit 4439647 ("xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing them") in
3.0-rc1 introduced a regression when recovering log buffers that
wrapped around the end of log. The second part of the log buffer at
the start of the physical log was being read into the header buffer
rather than the data buffer, and hence recovery was seeing garbage
in the data buffer when it got to the region of the log buffer that
was incorrectly read.

At least the worst offenders:
- SDVO specifies that the encoder should compute the ecc. Testing also
shows that we must not send the ecc field, so copy the dip_infoframe
struct to a temporay place and avoid the ecc field. This way the avi
infoframe is exactly 17 bytes long, which agrees with what the spec
mandates as a minimal storage capacity (with the ecc field it would
be 18 bytes).
- Only 17 when sending the avi infoframe. The SDVO spec explicitly
says that sending more data than what the device announces results
in undefined behaviour.
- Add __attribute__((packed)) to the avi and spd infoframes, for
otherwise they're wrongly aligned. Noticed because the avi infoframe
ended up being 18 bytes large instead of 17. We haven't noticed this
yet because we don't use the uint16_t fields yet (which are the only
ones that would be wrongly aligned).
Siddhesh analyzed a failure in the take over of pi futexes in case the
owner died and provided a workaround.
See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14076
The detailed problem analysis shows:
Futex F is initialized with PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT and
PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP attributes.
T1 lock_futex_pi(F);
T2 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated
to T1.
T1 exits
--> exit_robust_list() runs
--> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and
FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set.
T3 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> Succeeds due to the check for F's userspace TID field == 0
--> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
userspace TID field of futex F
--> returns to user space
T1 --> exit_pi_state_list()
--> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes T2 via
rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex)
T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains real ownership of the
pi_state
--> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
userspace TID field of futex F
--> returns to user space
T3 --> observes inconsistent state
This problem is independent of UP/SMP, preemptible/non preemptible
kernels, or process shared vs. private. The only difference is that
certain configurations are more likely to expose it.
So as Siddhesh correctly analyzed the following check in
futex_lock_pi_atomic() is the culprit:
if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {
We check the userspace value for a TID value of 0 and take over the
futex unconditionally if that's true.
AFAICT this check is there as it is correct for a different corner
case of futexes: the WAITERS bit became stale.
Now the proposed change
- if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {
+ if (unlikely(ownerdied ||
+ !(curval & (FUTEX_TID_MASK | FUTEX_WAITERS)))) {
solves the problem, but it's not obvious why and it wreckages the
"stale WAITERS bit" case.
What happens is, that due to the WAITERS bit being set (T2 is blocked
on that futex) it enforces T3 to go through lookup_pi_state(), which
in the above case returns an existing pi_state and therefor forces T3
to legitimately fight with T2 over the ownership of the pi_state (via
pi_state->mutex). Probelm solved!
Though that does not work for the "WAITERS bit is stale" problem
because if lookup_pi_state() does not find existing pi_state it
returns -ERSCH (due to TID == 0) which causes futex_lock_pi() to
return -ESRCH to user space because the OWNER_DIED bit is not set.
Now there is a different solution to that problem. Do not look at the
user space value at all and enforce a lookup of possibly available
pi_state. If pi_state can be found, then the new incoming locker T3
blocks on that pi_state and legitimately races with T2 to acquire the
rt_mutex and the pi_state and therefor the proper ownership of the
user space futex.
lookup_pi_state() has the correct order of checks. It first tries to
find a pi_state associated with the user space futex and only if that
fails it checks for futex TID value = 0. If no pi_state is available
nothing can create new state at that point because this happens with
the hash bucket lock held.
So the above scenario changes to:
T1 lock_futex_pi(F);
T2 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated
to T1.
T1 exits
--> exit_robust_list() runs
--> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and
FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set.
T3 lock_futex_pi(F);
--> Finds pi_state and blocks on pi_state->rt_mutex
T1 --> exit_pi_state_list()
--> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes it via
rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex)
T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains ownership of the pi_state
--> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
userspace TID field of futex F
--> returns to user space
This covers all gazillion points on which T3 might come in between
T1's exit_robust_list() clearing the TID field and T2 fixing it up. It
also solves the "WAITERS bit stale" problem by forcing the take over.
Another benefit of changing the code this way is that it makes it less
dependent on untrusted user space values and therefor minimizes the
possible wreckage which might be inflicted.
As usual after staring for too long at the futex code my brain hurts
so much that I really want to ditch that whole optimization of
avoiding the syscall for the non contended case for PI futexes and rip
out the maze of corner case handling code. Unfortunately we can't as
user space relies on that existing behaviour, but at least thinking
about it helps me to preserve my mental sanity. Maybe we should
nevertheless :)

Reading TCP stats when using TCP Illinois congestion control algorithm
can cause a divide by zero kernel oops.
The division by zero occur in tcp_illinois_info() at:
do_div(t, ca->cnt_rtt);
where ca->cnt_rtt can become zero (when rtt_reset is called)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register tcp_illinois:
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=illinois
2. Monitor internal TCP information via command "ss -i"
# watch -d ss -i
3. Establish new TCP conn to machine
Either it fails at the initial conn, or else it needs to wait
for a loss or a reset.
This is only related to reading stats. The function avg_delay() also
performs the same divide, but is guarded with a (ca->cnt_rtt > 0) at its
calling point in update_params(). Thus, simply fix tcp_illinois_info().
Function tcp_illinois_info() / get_info() is called without
socket lock. Thus, eliminate any race condition on ca->cnt_rtt
by using a local stack variable. Simply reuse info.tcpv_rttcnt,
as its already set to ca->cnt_rtt.
Function avg_delay() is not affected by this race condition, as
its called with the socket lock.

Driver anchors the tx urbs and defers the urb submission if
a transmit request comes when the interface is suspended.
Anchoring urb increments the urb reference count. These
deferred urbs are later accessed by calling usb_get_from_anchor()
for submission during interface resume. usb_get_from_anchor()
unanchors the urb but urb reference count remains same.
This causes the urb reference count to remain non-zero
after usb_free_urb() gets called and urb never gets freed.
Hence call usb_put_urb() after anchoring the urb to properly
balance the reference count for these deferred urbs. Also,
unanchor these deferred urbs during disconnect, to free them
up.

When disconnect callback is called, each component should wake up
sleepers and check card->shutdown flag for avoiding the endless sleep
blocking the proper resource release.
For more strict protection for wild disconnections, a refcount is
introduced to the card instance, and let it up/down when an object is
referred via snd_lookup_*() in the open ops.
The free-after-last-close check is also changed to check this refcount
instead of the empty list, too.
Close some races at disconnection of a USB audio device by adding the
chip->shutdown_mutex and chip->shutdown check at appropriate places.
The spots to put bandaids are:
- PCM prepare, hw_params and hw_free
- where the usb device is accessed for communication or get speed, in
mixer.c and others; the device speed is now cached in subs->speed
instead of accessing to chip->dev
The accesses in PCM open and close don't need the mutex protection
because these are already handled in the core PCM disconnection code.
The autosuspend/autoresume codes are still uncovered by this patch
because of possible mutex deadlocks. They'll be covered by the
upcoming change to rwsem.
Also the mixer codes are untouched, too. These will be fixed in
another patch, too.
Fix races at PCM disconnection:
- while a PCM device is being opened or closed
- while the PCM state is being changed without lock in prepare,
hw_params, hw_free ops

The DNS resolver's use of the sunrpc cache involves a 'ttl' number
(relative) rather that a timeout (absolute). This confused me when
I wrote
commit c5b29f885afe890f953f7f23424045cdad31d3e4
"sunrpc: use seconds since boot in expiry cache"
and I managed to break it. The effect is that any TTL is interpreted
as 0, and nothing useful gets into the cache.
This patch removes the use of get_expiry() - which really expects an
expiry time - and uses get_uint() instead, treating the int correctly
as a ttl.
This fixes a regression that has been present since 2.6.37, causing

On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture
specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered
write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page,
page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty().
Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of
problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that
buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as
dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from
xfs_count_page_state().
Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from
xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the
hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then
page unmapped.
Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of
mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for
such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also
marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is
cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in
page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is
dirty.
Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have
mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned
up variant of the patch.

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.
This workaround was commented in the code as:
"disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"
"This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
wreckage. It should be safe to remove."
H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:
"To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
caused some of these systems to fail.
They were by far in the minority even back then."
Alan Cox further says:
"Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
DMA tended to go astray.
Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
use."

their I/O base addresses.
Fix it by checking `dev->iobase` is non-zero before calling

saved and the hardware registers can be accessed. It also implies the

The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.
Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.

Chris Perl reports that we're seeing races between the wakeup call in
xs_error_report and the connect attempts. Basically, Chris has shown
that in certain circumstances, the call to xs_error_report causes the
rpc_task that is responsible for reconnecting to wake up early, thus
triggering a disconnect and retry.
Since the sk->sk_error_report() calls in the socket layer are always
followed by a tcp_done() in the cases where we care about waking up
the rpc_tasks, just let the state_change callbacks take responsibility
for those wake ups.

When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page
tables via the secondary_data struct:
(1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping
of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm).
(2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF
section.
The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which
includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to
swapper as soon as it enters C code:
struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm;
unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id();
/*
* All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a
* reference and switch to it.
*/
atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count);
current->active_mm = mm;
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm));
cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm);
This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as
strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of
exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc.
This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we
switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.

The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and
lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from
lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from
genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in
the bitmap.
That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three
bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits
(LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then.
The same works for the lookup functions.
The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In
include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long
bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should
reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of
longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap.
However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the
amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for
example, could be allocated for 70 bits.
This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in
the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines.
This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to
set or check for a bit.
This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the
bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits
because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since
they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when
gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits.
What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO
on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab
will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct
gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are
multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of
bytes.
Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset
after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO.
So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when
rmmod'ed.

Fix possible overflow of the buffer used for expanding environment

In the extremely unlikely case of an attacker having control over the

According to xHCI spec section 4.6.1.1 and section 4.6.1.2,
after aborting a command on the command ring, xHC will
generate a command completion event with its completion
code set to Command Ring Stopped at least. If a command is
currently executing at the time of aborting a command, xHC
also generate a command completion event with its completion
code set to Command Abort. When the command ring is stopped,
software may remove, add, or rearrage Command Descriptors.
To cancel a command, software will initialize a command
descriptor for the cancel command, and add it into a
cancel_cmd_list of xhci. When the command ring is stopped,
software will find the command trbs described by command
descriptors in cancel_cmd_list and modify it to No Op
command. If software can't find the matched trbs, we can
think it had been finished.

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().
Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.
However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.
That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .
The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field. So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

After commit e2446eaa ("tcp_v4_send_reset: binding oif to iif in no
sock case").. tcp resets are always lost, when routing is asymmetric.
Yes, backing out that patch will result in misrouting of resets for
dead connections which used interface binding when were alive, but we
actually cannot do anything here. What's died that's died and correct
handling normal unbound connections is obviously a priority.
Comment to comment:
> This has few benefits:
> 1. tcp_v6_send_reset already did that.
It was done to route resets for IPv6 link local addresses. It was a
mistake to do so for global addresses. The patch fixes this as well.
Actually, the problem appears to be even more serious than guaranteed
loss of resets. As reported by Sergey Soloviev <sol@eqv.ru>, those
misrouted resets create a lot of arp traffic and huge amount of
unresolved arp entires putting down to knees NAT firewalls which use
asymmetric routing.
This is the revised patch for fixing rds-ping spinlock recursion
according to Venkat's suggestions.
RDS ping/pong over TCP feature has been broken for years(2.6.39 to
3.6.0) since we have to set TCP cork and call kernel_sendmsg() between
ping/pong which both need to lock "struct sock *sk". However, this
lock has already been hold before rds_tcp_data_ready() callback is
triggerred. As a result, we always facing spinlock resursion which
would resulting in system panic.
Given that RDS ping is only used to test the connectivity and not for
serious performance measurements, we can queue the pong transmit to
rds_wq as a delayed response.

As the function is designed to use the final scrubrates[] element in the
case of no match, we can fix this bug by simply terminating the array
search at the n-1th element.
Boris: this code is fragile anyway, see here why:

notify_on_release must be triggered when the last process in a cgroup is
move to another. But if the first(and only) process in a cgroup is moved to
another, notify_on_release is not triggered.
# mkdir /cgroup/cpu/SRC
# mkdir /cgroup/cpu/DST
#
# echo 1 >/cgroup/cpu/SRC/notify_on_release
# echo 1 >/cgroup/cpu/DST/notify_on_release
#
# sleep 300 &
[1] 8629
#
# echo 8629 >/cgroup/cpu/SRC/tasks
# echo 8629 >/cgroup/cpu/DST/tasks
-> notify_on_release for /SRC must be triggered at this point,
but it isn't.
This is because put_css_set() is called before setting CGRP_RELEASABLE
in cgroup_task_migrate(), and is a regression introduce by the
commit:74a1166d(cgroups: make procs file writable), which was merged
into v3.0.
