#1462401 — [PATCH 4.6 56/56] ext4: fix reference counting bug on block allocation error

Subject[PATCH 4.6 56/56] ext4: fix reference counting bug on block allocation error
Message-ID<s6aw1-4AX-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com>

commit 554a5ccc4e4a20c5f3ec859de0842db4b4b9c77e upstream.

If we hit this error when mounted with errors=continue or
errors=remount-ro:

    EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:2940: comm ext4.exe: Allocating blocks 5090-6081 which overlap fs metadata

then ext4_mb_new_blocks() will call ext4_mb_release_context() and try to
continue. However, ext4_mb_release_context() is the wrong thing to call
here since we are still actually using the allocation context.

Instead, just error out. We could retry the allocation, but there is a
possibility of getting stuck in an infinite loop instead, so this seems
safer.

[ Fixed up so we don't return EAGAIN to userspace. --tytso ]

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

commit 1ee6667cd8d183b2fed12f97285f184431d2caf9 upstream.

The updated ndctl unit tests discovered that if a pfn configuration with
a 4K alignment is read from the namespace, that alignment will be
ignored in favor of the default 2M alignment.  The result is that the
configuration will fail initialization with a message like:

    dax6.1: bad offset: 0x22000 dax disabled align: 0x200000

Fix this by allowing the alignment read from the info block to override
the default which is 2M not 0 in the autodetect path.  This also fixes a
similar problem with the mode and alignment settings silently being
overwritten by the kernel when userspace has changed it.  We now will
either overwrite the info block if userspace changes the uuid or fail
and warn if a live setting disagrees with the info block.

#1462403 — [PATCH 4.6 28/56] x86/xen, pat: Remove PAT table init code from Xen

Subject[PATCH 4.6 28/56] x86/xen, pat: Remove PAT table init code from Xen

In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

commit 88ba281108ed0c25c9d292b48bd3f272fcb90dd0 upstream.

Xen supports PAT without MTRRs for its guests.  In order to
enable WC attribute, it was necessary for xen_start_kernel()
to call pat_init_cache_modes() to update PAT table before
starting guest kernel.

Now that the kernel initializes PAT table to the BIOS handoff
state when MTRR is disabled, this Xen-specific PAT init code
is no longer necessary.  Delete it from xen_start_kernel().

Also change __init_cache_modes() to a static function since
PAT table should not be tweaked by other modules.

------------------

From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com>

commit 615d66c37c755c49ce022c9e5ac0875d27d2603d upstream.

Since commit 73f576c04b94 ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure
after many small jobs") swap entries do not pin memcg->css.refcnt
directly.  Instead, they pin memcg->id.ref.  So we should adjust the
reference counters accordingly when moving swap charges between cgroups.

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com>

commit 1f47b61fb4077936465dcde872a4e5cc4fe708da upstream.

An offline memory cgroup might have anonymous memory or shmem left
charged to it and no swap.  Since only swap entries pin the id of an
offline cgroup, such a cgroup will have no id and so an attempt to
swapout its anon/shmem will not store memory cgroup info in the swap
cgroup map.  As a result, memcg->swap or memcg->memsw will never get
uncharged from it and any of its ascendants.

Fix this by always charging swapout to the first ancestor cgroup that
hasn't released its id yet.

#1462415 — [PATCH 4.6 32/56] powerpc/eeh: Fix invalid cached PE primary bus

Subject[PATCH 4.6 32/56] powerpc/eeh: Fix invalid cached PE primary bus
Message-ID<s6aw2-4AX-43@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit a3aa256b7258b3d19f8b44557cc64525a993b941 upstream.

The PE primary bus cannot be got from its child devices when having
full hotplug in error recovery. The PE primary bus is cached, which
is done in commit <05ba75f84864> ("powerpc/eeh: Fix stale cached primary
bus"). In eeh_reset_device(), the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) is cleared
before the PCI hot remove. eeh_pe_bus_get() then returns NULL as the
PE primary bus in pnv_eeh_reset() and it crashes the kernel eventually.

This fixes the issue by clearing the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) before the
PCI hot add. With it, the PowerNV EEH reset backend (pnv_eeh_reset())
can get valid PE primary bus through eeh_pe_bus_get().

------------------

From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com>

commit 05eb6e7263185a6bb0de9501ccf2addc52429414 upstream.

Radix trees may be used not only for storing page cache pages, so
unconditionally accounting radix tree nodes to the current memory cgroup
is bad: if a radix tree node is used for storing data shared among
different cgroups we risk pinning dead memory cgroups forever.

So let's only account radix tree nodes if it was explicitly requested by
passing __GFP_ACCOUNT to INIT_RADIX_TREE.  Currently, we only want to
account page cache entries, so mark mapping->page_tree so.

#1462417 — [PATCH 4.6 45/56] Revert "mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements"

Subject[PATCH 4.6 45/56] Revert "mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements"
Message-ID<s6aw2-4AX-45@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

commit 4e390b2b2f34b8daaabf2df1df0cf8f798b87ddb upstream.

This reverts commit f9054c70d28b ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
if there are free elements").

There has been a report about OOM killer invoked when swapping out to a
dm-crypt device.  The primary reason seems to be that the swapout out IO
managed to completely deplete memory reserves.  Ondrej was able to
bisect and explained the issue by pointing to f9054c70d28b ("mm,
mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements").

The reason is that the swapout path is not throttled properly because
the md-raid layer needs to allocate from the generic_make_request path
which means it allocates from the PF_MEMALLOC context.  dm layer uses
mempool_alloc in order to guarantee a forward progress which used to
inhibit access to memory reserves when using page allocator.  This has
changed by f9054c70d28b ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if
there are free elements") which has dropped the __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
protection when the memory pool is depleted.

If we are running out of memory and the only way forward to free memory
is to perform swapout we just keep consuming memory reserves rather than
throttling the mempool allocations and allowing the pending IO to
complete up to a moment when the memory is depleted completely and there
is no way forward but invoking the OOM killer.  This is less than
optimal.

The original intention of f9054c70d28b was to help with the OOM
situations where the oom victim depends on mempool allocation to make a
forward progress.  David has mentioned the following backtrace:

  schedule
  schedule_timeout
  io_schedule_timeout
  mempool_alloc
  __split_and_process_bio
  dm_request
  generic_make_request
  submit_bio
  mpage_readpages
  ext4_readpages
  __do_page_cache_readahead
  ra_submit
  filemap_fault
  handle_mm_fault
  __do_page_fault
  do_page_fault
  page_fault

We do not know more about why the mempool is depleted without being
replenished in time, though.  In any case the dm layer shouldn't depend
on any allocations outside of the dedicated pools so a forward progress
should be guaranteed.  If this is not the case then the dm should be
fixed rather than papering over the problem and postponing it to later
by accessing more memory reserves.

mempools are a mechanism to maintain dedicated memory reserves to
guaratee forward progress.  Allowing them an unbounded access to the
page allocator memory reserves is going against the whole purpose of
this mechanism.

Bisected by Ondrej Kozina.

In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>

commit 4ce827b4cc58bec7952591b96cce2b28553e4d5b upstream.

In kernel bug 150021, a kernel panic was reported when restoring a
hibernate image.  Only a picture of the oops was reported, so I can't
paste the whole thing here.  But here are the most interesting parts:

  kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8804615cfd78
  ...
  RIP: ffff8804615cfd78
  RSP: ffff8804615f0000
  RBP: ffff8804615cfdc0
  ...
  Call Trace:
   do_signal+0x23
   exit_to_usermode_loop+0x64
   ...

The RIP is on the same page as RBP, so it apparently started executing
on the stack.

The bug was bisected to commit ef0f3ed5a4ac (x86/asm/power: Create
stack frames in hibernate_asm_64.S), which in retrospect seems quite
dangerous, since that code saves and restores the stack pointer from a
global variable ('saved_context').

There are a lot of moving parts in the hibernate save and restore paths,
so I don't know exactly what caused the panic.  Presumably, a FRAME_END
was executed without the corresponding FRAME_BEGIN, or vice versa.  That
would corrupt the return address on the stack and would be consistent
with the details of the above panic.

[ rjw: One major problem is that by the time the FRAME_BEGIN in
  restore_registers() is executed, the stack pointer value may not
  be valid any more.  Namely, the stack area pointed to by it
  previously may have been overwritten by some image memory contents
  and that page frame may now be used for whatever different purpose
  it had been allocated for before hibernation.  In that case, the
  FRAME_BEGIN will corrupt that memory. ]

Instead of doing the frame pointer save/restore around the bounds of the
affected functions, just do it around the call to swsusp_save().

That has the same effect of ensuring that if swsusp_save() sleeps, the
frame pointers will be correct.  It's also a much more obviously safe
way to do it than the original patch.  And objtool still doesn't report
any warnings.

counter, and it can trigger a warning:

This was triggered using the test program:

// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)

int main() {
        int fd = open("/dev/random", O_RDWR);
        int val = -5000;
        ioctl(fd, RNDADDTOENTCNT, &val);
        return 0;
}

It's harmless in that (a) only root can trigger it, and (b) after
complaining the code never does let the entropy count go negative, but
it's better to simply not allow this userspace from passing in a
negative entropy value altogether.

In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit 5b9554dc5bf008ae7f68a52e3d7e76c0920938a2 upstream.

If s_reserved_gdt_blocks is extremely large, it's possible for
ext4_init_block_bitmap(), which is called when ext4 sets up an
uninitialized block bitmap, to corrupt random kernel memory.  Add the
same checks which e2fsck has --- it must never be larger than
blocksize / sizeof(__u32) --- and then add a backup check in
ext4_init_block_bitmap() in case the superblock gets modified after
the file system is mounted.

     [<ffffffff814b92ec>] SyS_preadv+0xc/0x10

This problem can occur in the following situation:

open()
 - pread()
    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // succeeds
       - seqf->private = iter
    - .seq_stop()
       - kfree(seqf->private)
 - pread()
    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // fails
    - .seq_stop()
       - class_dev_iter_exit(seqf->private) // boom! old pointer

As the comment in disk_seqf_stop() says, stop is called even if start
failed, so we need to reinitialise the private pointer to NULL when seq
iteration stops.

An alternative would be to set the private pointer to NULL when the
kmalloc() in disk_seqf_start() fails.

#1462424 — [PATCH 4.6 51/56] ext4: check for extents that wrap around

Date2016-08-14 22:50 +0200
Subject[PATCH 4.6 51/56] ext4: check for extents that wrap around
Message-ID<s6aw2-4AX-55@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com>

commit f70749ca42943faa4d4dcce46dfdcaadb1d0c4b6 upstream.

An extent with lblock = 4294967295 and len = 1 will pass the
ext4_valid_extent() test:

	ext4_lblk_t last = lblock + len - 1;

	if (len == 0 || lblock > last)
		return 0;

since last = 4294967295 + 1 - 1 = 4294967295. This would later trigger
the BUG_ON(es->es_lblk + es->es_len < es->es_lblk) in ext4_es_end().

We can simplify it by removing the - 1 altogether and changing the test
to use lblock + len <= lblock, since now if len = 0, then lblock + 0 ==
lblock and it fails, and if len > 0 then lblock + len > lblock in order
to pass (i.e. it doesn't overflow).

Fixes: 5946d0893 ("ext4: check for overlapping extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries()")
Fixes: 2f974865f ("ext4: check for zero length extent explicitly")

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

commit ad025a73f0e9344ac73ffe1b74c184033e08e7d5 upstream.

get_mtrr_state() calls pat_init() on BSP even if MTRR is disabled.
This results in calling pat_init() on BSP only since APs do not call
pat_init() when MTRR is disabled.  This inconsistency between BSP
and APs leads to undefined behavior.

Make BSP's calling condition to pat_init() consistent with AP's,
mtrr_ap_init() and mtrr_aps_init().

#1462429 — [PATCH 4.6 05/56] tcp: enable per-socket rate limiting of all challenge acks

Subject[PATCH 4.6 05/56] tcp: enable per-socket rate limiting of all challenge acks
Message-ID<s6aw3-4AX-73@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com>

[ Upstream commit 083ae308280d13d187512b9babe3454342a7987e ]

The per-socket rate limit for 'challenge acks' was introduced in the
context of limiting ack loops:

commit f2b2c582e824 ("tcp: mitigate ACK loops for connections as tcp_sock")

And I think it can be extended to rate limit all 'challenge acks' on a
per-socket basis.

Since we have the global tcp_challenge_ack_limit, this patch allows for
tcp_challenge_ack_limit to be set to a large value and effectively rely on
the per-socket limit, or set tcp_challenge_ack_limit to a lower value and
still prevents a single connections from consuming the entire challenge ack
quota.

It further moves in the direction of eliminating the global limit at some
point, as Eric Dumazet has suggested. This a follow-up to:

Message-ID<s6aw2-4AX-69@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

commit d63dcf49cf5ae5605f4d14229e3888e104f294b1 upstream.

Borislav Petkov suggested:

 > Please use on init paths boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT) and on fast
 > paths static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT). No more of that cpu_has_XXX
 > ugliness.

Replace the use of cpu_has_pat on init paths with boot_cpu_has().

From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@ingics.com>

commit 43160ffd12c8d1d331362362eea3c70e04b6f9c4 upstream.

Use regulator_list_voltage_linear_range in rpm_smps_ldo_ops_fixed is
wrong because it is used for fixed regulator without any linear range.
The rpm_smps_ldo_ops_fixed is used for pm8941_lnldo which has fixed_uV
set and n_voltages = 1. In this case, regulator_list_voltage() can return
rdev->desc->fixed_uV without .list_voltage implementation.

#1462434 — [PATCH 4.6 47/56] Revert "cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of cpuinfo_transition_latency"

FromGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Subject[PATCH 4.6 47/56] Revert "cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of cpuinfo_transition_latency"

In reply to#1462396
4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andreas Herrmann <aherrmann@suse.com>

commit da7d3abe1c9e5ebac2cf86f97e9e89888a5e2094 upstream.

This reverts commit 790d849bf811a8ab5d4cd2cce0f6fda92f6aebf2.

Using a v4.7-rc7 kernel on a HP ProLiant triggered following messages

 pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz
 cpufreq: ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor

The last line was shown for each CPU in the system.
Testing v4.5 (where commit 790d849b was integrated) triggered
similar messages. Same behaviour on a 2nd HP Proliant system.

So commit 790d849bf (cpufreq: pcc-cpufreq: update default value of
cpuinfo_transition_latency) causes the system to use performance
governor which, I guess, was not the intention of the patch.

Enabling debug output in pcc-cpufreq provides following verbose output:

 pcc-cpufreq: (v1.10.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1200 MHz, 2800 MHz
 pcc_get_offset: for CPU 0: pcc_cpu_data input_offset: 0x44, pcc_cpu_data output_offset: 0x48
 init: policy->max is 2800000, policy->min is 1200000
 get: get_freq for CPU 0
 get: SUCCESS: (virtual) output_offset for cpu 0 is 0xffffc9000d7c0048, contains a value of: 0xff06. Speed is: 168000 MHz
 cpufreq: ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor
 target: CPU 0 should go to target freq: 2800000 (virtual) input_offset is 0xffffc9000d7c0044
 target: was SUCCESSFUL for cpu 0

I am asking to revert 790d849bf to re-enable usage of ondemand
governor with pcc-cpufreq.
