____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the
subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit
17f60a7da150 ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits
to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with
prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes
all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called.
The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to
the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That
means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials
_before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the
system.
This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing
the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to
/sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to
instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail
with ENOKEY unconditionally.

I've got a report of a file corruption from fsxlinux on ext3. The important
operations to the page were:
mapwrite to a hole
partial write to the page
read - found the page zeroed from the end of the normal write
The culprit seems to be that if get_block() fails in __block_write_begin()
(e.g. transient ENOSPC in ext3), the function does ClearPageUptodate(page).
Thus when we retry the write, the logic in __block_write_begin() thinks zeroing
of the page is needed and overwrites old data. In fact, I don't see why we
should ever need to zero the uptodate bit here - either the page was uptodate
when we entered __block_write_begin() and it should stay so when we leave it,
or it was not uptodate and noone had right to set it uptodate during
__block_write_begin() so it remains !uptodate when we leave as well. So just
remove clearing of the bit.

afs_fill_page should read the page that is about to be written but
the current implementation has a number of issues. If we aren't
extending the file we always read PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at offset 0. If we
are extending the file we try to read the entire file.
Change afs_fill_page to read PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at the right offset,
clamped to i_size.
While here, avoid calling afs_fill_page when we are doing a
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE write.

[Kudos to dhowells for tracking that crap down]
If two processes attempt to cause automounting on the same mountpoint at the
same time, the vfsmount holding the mountpoint will be left with one too few
references on it, causing a BUG when the kernel tries to clean up.
The problem is that lock_mount() drops the caller's reference to the
mountpoint's vfsmount in the case where it finds something already mounted on
the mountpoint as it transits to the mounted filesystem and replaces path->mnt
with the new mountpoint vfsmount.
During a pathwalk, however, we don't take a reference on the vfsmount if it is
the same as the one in the nameidata struct, but do_add_mount() doesn't know
this.
The fix is to make sure we have a ref on the vfsmount of the mountpoint before
calling do_add_mount(). However, if lock_mount() doesn't transit, we're then
left with an extra ref on the mountpoint vfsmount which needs releasing.
We can handle that in follow_managed() by not making assumptions about what
we can and what we cannot get from lookup_mnt() as the current code does.
The callers of follow_managed() expect that reference to path->mnt will be
grabbed iff path->mnt has been changed. follow_managed() and follow_automount()
keep track of whether such reference has been grabbed and assume that it'll
happen in those and only those cases that'll have us return with changed
path->mnt. That assumption is almost correct - it breaks in case of
racing automounts and in even harder to hit race between following a mountpoint
and a couple of mount --move. The thing is, we don't need to make that
assumption at all - after the end of loop in follow_manage() we can check
if path->mnt has ended up unchanged and do mntput() if needed.
The BUG can be reproduced with the following test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int pid, ws;
struct stat buf;
pid = fork();
stat(argv[1], &buf);
if (pid > 0) wait(&ws);
return 0;
}
and the following procedure:
(1) Mount an NFS volume that on the server has something else mounted on a
subdirectory. For instance, I can mount / from my server:
mount warthog:/ /mnt -t nfs4 -r
On the server /data has another filesystem mounted on it, so NFS will see
a change in FSID as it walks down the path, and will mark /mnt/data as
being a mountpoint. This will cause the automount code to be triggered.
!!! Do not look inside the mounted fs at this point !!!
(2) Run the above program on a file within the submount to generate two
simultaneous automount requests:
/tmp/forkstat /mnt/data/testfile
(3) Unmount the automounted submount:
umount /mnt/data
(4) Unmount the original mount:
umount /mnt
At this point the kernel should throw a BUG with something like the
following:
BUG: Dentry ffff880032e3c5c0{i=2,n=} still in use (1) [unmount of nfs4 0:12]
Note that the bug appears on the root dentry of the original mount, not the
mountpoint and not the submount because sys_umount() hasn't got to its final
mntput_no_expire() yet, but this isn't so obvious from the call trace:

[<ffffffff8109e1ca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x1fd/0x22f
[<ffffffff816ea86b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
as do_umount() is inlined. However, you can see release_mounts() in there.
Note also that it may be necessary to have multiple CPU cores to be able to
trigger this bug.

A reliable way to reproduce this bug is:
Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk,
and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk.
The buggy part of the patch is this:
struct inode *inode = NULL;
.....
- if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len])
- goto slashes;
inode = dentry->d_inode;
- if (inode)
- ihold(inode);
+ if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode)
+ goto slashes;
+ ihold(inode)
...
if (inode)
iput(inode); /* truncate the inode here */
If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken),
and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on
the inode, which is wrong.
Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.

We have some users of this function that date back to before the vma
list was doubly linked, and just are silly. These days, you can find
the previous vma by just following the vma->vm_prev pointer.
In some cases you don't need any find_vma() lookup at all, and in other
cases you're better off with the regular "find_vma()" that uses the vma
cache front-end lookup.
Some "find_vma_prev()" users are still valid, though. For example, in
the case of a stack that grows up, it can be the case that we don't find
any 'vma' at all (because we're looking up an address that is past the
last vma), and that the stack that we want to grow is the 'prev' vma.
But that kind of special case aside, we generally should prefer to use
'find_vma()'.
Noticed due to a totally unrelated POWER memory corruption bug that just
happened to hit in 'find_vma_prev()' and made me go "Hmm - why are we
using that function here?".

Some RS690 chipsets seem to end up with floating connectors, either
a DVI connector isn't actually populated, or an add-in HDMI card
is available but not installed. In this case we seem to get a NULL byte
response for each byte of the i2c transaction, so we detect this
case and if we see it we don't do anymore DDC transactions on this
connector.
I've tested this on my RS690 without the HDMI card installed and
it seems to work fine.

VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP"
This reverts commit 7f81c8890c15a10f5220bebae3b6dfae4961962a.
It turns out that it's not actually a build-time check on x86-64 UML,
which does some seriously crazy stuff with VM_STACK_FLAGS.
The VM_STACK_FLAGS define depends on the arch-supplied
VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS value, and on x86-64 UML we have
arch/um/sys-x86_64/shared/sysdep/vm-flags.h:
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
(test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? vm_stack_flags32 : vm_stack_flags)
#define VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS vm_stack_flags
(yes, seriously: two different #define's for that thing, with the first
one being inside an "#ifdef TIF_IA32")
It's possible that it is UML that should just be fixed in this area, but
for now let's just undo the (very small) optimization.

Instead of listing the architectures that are supported by
kmemleak in Documentation/kmemleak.txt, just refer people to
the list of supported architecutures in lib/Kconfig.debug so
that Documentation/kmemleak.txt does not need more updates
for this.

Fix several security issues in Alpha-specific syscalls. Untested, but
mostly trivial.
1. Signedness issue in osf_getdomainname allows copying out-of-bounds
kernel memory to userland.
2. Signedness issue in osf_sysinfo allows copying large amounts of
kernel memory to userland.
3. Typo (?) in osf_getsysinfo bounds minimum instead of maximum copy
size, allowing copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland.
4. Usage of user pointer in osf_wait4 while under KERNEL_DS allows
privilege escalation via writing return value of sys_wait4 to kernel
memory.

Andrea Righi reported a case where an exiting task can race against
ksmd::scan_get_next_rmap_item (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/1/742) easily
triggering a NULL pointer dereference in ksmd.
ksm_scan.mm_slot == &ksm_mm_head with only one registered mm
CPU 1 (__ksm_exit) CPU 2 (scan_get_next_rmap_item)
list_empty() is false
lock slot == &ksm_mm_head
list_del(slot->mm_list)
(list now empty)
unlock
lock
slot = list_entry(slot->mm_list.next)
(list is empty, so slot is still ksm_mm_head)
unlock
slot->mm == NULL ... Oops
Close this race by revalidating that the new slot is not simply the list
head again.
Andrea's test case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define BUFSIZE getpagesize()
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
void *ptr;
if (posix_memalign(&ptr, getpagesize(), BUFSIZE) < 0) {
perror("posix_memalign");
exit(1);
}
if (madvise(ptr, BUFSIZE, MADV_MERGEABLE) < 0) {
perror("madvise");
exit(1);
}
*(char *)NULL = 0;
return 0;
}

If dmi_get_system_info() returns NULL, pch_uart_init_port() will
dereferencea a zero pointer.
This oops was observed on an Atom based board which has no BIOS, but
a bootloder which doesn't provide DMI data.
