fd* files are restricted to the task's owner, and other users may not get
direct access to them. But one may open any of these files and run any
setuid program, keeping opened file descriptors. As there are permission
checks on open(), but not on readdir() and read(), operations on the kept
file descriptors will not be checked. It makes it possible to violate
procfs permission model.
Reading fdinfo/* may disclosure current fds' position and flags, reading
directory contents of fdinfo/ and fd/ may disclosure the number of opened
files by the target task. This information is not sensible per se, but it
can reveal some private information (like length of a password stored in a
file) under certain conditions.
Used existing (un)lock_trace functions to check for ptrace_may_access(),
but instead of using EPERM return code from it use EACCES to be consistent
with existing proc_pid_follow_link()/proc_pid_readlink() return code. If
they differ, attacker can guess what fds exist by analyzing stat() return
code. Patched handlers: stat() for fd/*, stat() and read() for fdindo/*,
readdir() and lookup() for fd/ and fdinfo/.

{get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly
access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a
concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations
where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG.
This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory
conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires
get_mems_allowed() itself. It is not atypical to see writes to
cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example. In low memory
conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant
times to change cpuset.mems in the first place!
The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets
by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is
not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and
then clearing all the old nodes. This prevents the possibility that a
reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a
new nodemask.
If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply
set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes. Changing a task's
nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads
are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the
nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and
determines whether a node remains set or not.

Various code in memcontrol.c () calls this_cpu_read() on the calculations
to be done from two different percpu variables, or does an open-coded
read-modify-write on a single percpu variable.
Disable preemption throughout these operations so that the writes go to

There is a potential race between a thread charging a page and another
thread putting it back to the LRU list:
charge: putback:
SetPageCgroupUsed SetPageLRU
PageLRU && add to memcg LRU PageCgroupUsed && add to memcg LRU
The order of setting one flag and checking the other is crucial, otherwise
the charge may observe !PageLRU while the putback observes !PageCgroupUsed
and the page is not linked to the memcg LRU at all.
Global memory pressure may fix this by trying to isolate and putback the
page for reclaim, where that putback would link it to the memcg LRU again.
Without that, the memory cgroup is undeletable due to a charge whose
physical page can not be found and moved out.

Reclaim decides to skip scanning an active list when the corresponding
inactive list is above a certain size in comparison to leave the assumed
working set alone while there are still enough reclaim candidates around.
The memcg implementation of comparing those lists instead reports whether
the whole memcg is low on the requested type of inactive pages,
considering all nodes and zones.
This can lead to an oversized active list not being scanned because of the
state of the other lists in the memcg, as well as an active list being
scanned while its corresponding inactive list has enough pages.
Not only is this wrong, it's also a scalability hazard, because the global
memory state over all nodes and zones has to be gathered for each memcg
and zone scanned.
Make these calculations purely based on the size of the two LRU lists
that are actually affected by the outcome of the decision.

When the cgroup base was allocated with kmalloc, it was necessary to
annotate the variable with kmemleak_not_leak(). But because it has
recently been changed to be allocated with alloc_page() (which skips
kmemleak checks) causes a warning on boot up.
I was triggering this output:
allocated 8388608 bytes of page_cgroup
please try 'cgroup_disable=memory' option if you don't want memory cgroups
kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xf5840000 as Grey
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0-test #12

[<c1cbf0aa>] i386_start_kernel+0xaa/0xb0
After a bit of debugging I tracked the object 0xf840000 (and others) down
to the cgroup code. The change from allocating base with kmalloc to
alloc_page() has the base not calling kmemleak_alloc() which adds the
pointer to the object_tree_root, but kmemleak_not_leak() adds it to the
crt_early_log[] table. On kmemleak_init(), the entry is found in the
early_log[] but not the object_tree_root, and this error message is
displayed.
If alloc_page() fails then it defaults back to vmalloc() which still uses
the kmemleak_alloc() which makes us still need the kmemleak_not_leak()
call. The solution is to call the kmemleak_alloc() directly if the
alloc_page() succeeds.

If a task has exited to the point it has called cgroup_exit() already,
then we can't migrate it to another cgroup anymore.
This can happen when we are attaching a task to a new cgroup between the
call to ->can_attach_task() on subsystems and the migration that is
eventually tried in cgroup_task_migrate().
In this case cgroup_task_migrate() returns -ESRCH and we don't want to
attach the task to the subsystems because the attachment to the new cgroup
itself failed.
Fix this by only calling ->attach_task() on the subsystems if the cgroup
migration succeeded.

Fix unstable tasklist locking in cgroup_attach_proc.
According to this thread - https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/27/243 - RCU is
not sufficient to guarantee the tasklist is stable w.r.t. de_thread and
exit. Taking tasklist_lock for reading, instead of rcu_read_lock, ensures
proper exclusion.

Clement Lecigne reports a filesystem which causes a kernel oops in
hfs_find_init() trying to dereference sb->ext_tree which is NULL.
This proves to be because the filesystem has a corrupted MDB extent
record, where the extents file does not fit into the first three extents
in the file record (the first blocks).
In hfs_get_block() when looking up the blocks for the extent file
(HFS_EXT_CNID), it fails the first blocks special case, and falls
through to the extent code (which ultimately calls hfs_find_init())
which is in the process of being initialised.
Hfs avoids this scenario by always having the extents b-tree fitting
into the first blocks (the extents B-tree can't have overflow extents).
The fix is to check at mount time that the B-tree fits into first
blocks, i.e. fail if HFS_I(inode)->alloc_blocks >=
HFS_I(inode)->first_blocks
Note, the existing commit 47f365eb57573 ("hfs: fix oops on mount with
corrupted btree extent records") becomes subsumed into this as a special
case, but only for the extents B-tree (HFS_EXT_CNID), it is perfectly
acceptable for the catalog B-Tree file to grow beyond three extents,
with the remaining extent descriptors in the extents overfow.
This fixes CVE-2011-2203

"page" may have changed to point to the next hugepage after the loop
completed, The references have been taken on the head page, so the
put_page must happen there too.
This is a longstanding issue pre-thp inclusion.
It's totally unclear how these page_cache_add_speculative and
pte_val(pte) != pte_val(*ptep) checks are necessary across all the
powerpc gup_fast code, when x86 doesn't need any of that: there's no way
the page can be freed with irq disabled so we're guaranteed the
atomic_inc will happen on a page with page_count > 0 (so not needing the
speculative check).
The pte check is also meaningless on x86: no need to rollback on x86 if
the pte changed, because the pte can still change a CPU tick after the
check succeeded and it won't be rolled back in that case. The important
thing is we got a reference on a valid page that was mapped there a CPU
tick ago. So not knowing the soft tlb refill code of ppc64 in great
detail I'm not removing the "speculative" page_count increase and the
pte checks across all the code, but unless there's a strong reason for
it they should be later cleaned up too.
If a pte can change from huge to non-huge (like it could happen with
THP) passing a pte_t *ptep to gup_hugepte() would also require to repeat
the is_hugepd in gup_hugepte(), but that shouldn't happen with hugetlbfs
only so I'm not altering that.

This part of gup_fast doesn't seem capable of handling hugetlbfs ptes,
those should be handled by gup_hugepd only, so these checks are
superfluous.
Plus if this wasn't a noop, it would have oopsed because, the insistence
of using the speculative refcounting would trigger a VM_BUG_ON if a tail
page was encountered in the page_cache_get_speculative().

Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that
calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn)
wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent
hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount().
He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with
page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups
that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed
and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before
page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero().
So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at
all times. This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never
succeed on any tail page. page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and
is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply
account the tail page references there and transfer them to
tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the
head_page->_mapcount).
While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is
called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages. That wasn't
entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic. As
opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to
establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page
after get_user_page returns. It's safer to make get_page universally safe
for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside
get_user_pages()). get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail
pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected
critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for
pmd_trans_huge).
The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take
the compound_lock but still only for tail pages. The direct-io paths
are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very
finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it. A simple
direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock
debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no
overhead. So it's worth it. Ideally direct-io should stop calling
get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages(). The spinlock in
get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing
get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation
and usually only run in I/O paths.
This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new
RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to
work without any further complexity associated to the tail page
refcounting with THP.

When the driver finds multiple ADCs, it tries to create an alternative
capture PCM stream. However, these secondary ADCs might be useless or
in uncontrolled paths in some cases, e.g. when auto-mic or dynamic
ADC-switching is enabled. Also, when only a single capture source is
available, the multi-streams don't make sense, too.
With this patch, the driver checks such condition and skips the alt
stream appropriately.

Basically what is happening is in xhci_stop_endpoint_command_watchdog()
the xhci->lock is grabbed with just spin_lock. What lockdep deduces is
that if an interrupt occurred while in this function it would deadlock
with xhci_irq because that function also grabs the xhci->lock.
Fixing it is trivial by using spin_lock_irqsave instead.
This should be queued to stable kernels as far back as 2.6.33.

Commit 2e30168b ("libertas: terminate scan when stopping interface")
adds cleanup code to lbs_eth_stop to call cfg80211_scan_done if there's
an outstanding cfg80211_scan_request. However, it assumes that the
scan request was allocated via the cfg80211 stack. Libertas has
its own internal allocation method, kept track of with
priv->internal_scan. This doesn't set scan_req->wiphy, amongst other
things, which results in hitting a BUG() when we call cfg80211_scan_done
on the request.
This provides a function to take care of the low-level scan_req cleanup
details. We simply call that to deal with finishing up scan requests.
The bug we were hitting was:

During the fast channel change noise floor values are being loaded
twice at init_cal and after channel_change. The commit "ath9k_hw:
Improve fast channel change for AR9003 chips" overlooked it that
caused failure to load nf while doing bgscan. This patch performs noise
floor calibration after the fast and full reset.

We need to verify whether the command is successful before allocating
the station entry to avoid extra processing. This also fixes a memory
leak on the error path.

Previously the driver did not care if TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS
was set on aggregated frames or not and it would silently
drop successfully sent frames if possible [much like:
"no news is good news!"].
But, TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS was invented for a reason and
no tx status report should ever be dropped if it is set.

The commit ce407afc10 introduced regression for AR9330/AR9340
register offsets. Some of the register offsets are common
for AR9330/AR9340/AR9485 except AR9380. Fix that.

When going back on-channel, we should reconfigure
the hw iff the hardware is not already configured
to the operational channel.

The offchannel code is currently broken - we should
remain_off_channel if the work was started, and
the work's channel and channel_type are the same
as local->tmp_channel and local->tmp_channel_type.
However, if wk->chan_type and local->tmp_channel_type
coexist (e.g. have the same channel type), we won't
remain_off_channel.
This behavior was introduced by commit da2fd1f
("mac80211: Allow work items to use existing
channel type.")
