2013-03-06nfsd: fix krb5 handling of anonymous principalsJ. Bruce Fields
krb5 mounts started failing as of 683428fae8c73d7d7da0fa2e0b6beb4d8df4e808 "sunrpc: Update svcgss xdr handle to rpsec_contect cache". The problem is that mounts are usually done with some host principal which isn't normally mapped to any user, in which case svcgssd passes down uid -1, which the kernel is then expected to map to the export-specific anonymous uid or gid. The new uid_valid/gid_valid checks were therefore causing that downcall to fail.

2013-03-06net/ipv4: Timestamp option cannot overflow with prespecified addressesDavid Ward
When a router forwards a packet that contains the IPv4 timestamp option, if there is no space left in the option for the router to add its own timestamp, then the router increments the Overflow value in the option. However, if the addresses of the routers are prespecified in the option, then the overflow condition cannot happen: the option is structured so that each prespecified router has a place to write its timestamp. Other routers do not add a timestamp, so there will never be a lack of space. This fix ensures that the Overflow value in the IPv4 timestamp option is not incremented when the addresses of the routers are prespecified, even if the Pointer value is greater than the Length value.

2013-03-06pkt_sched: sch_qfq: remove a useless invocation of qfq_update_eligiblePaolo Valente
QFQ+ can select for service only 'eligible' aggregates, i.e., aggregates that would have started to be served also in the emulated ideal system. As a consequence, for QFQ+ to be work conserving, at least one of the active aggregates must be eligible when it is time to choose the next aggregate to serve. The set of eligible aggregates is updated through the function qfq_update_eligible(), which does guarantee that, after its invocation, at least one of the active aggregates is eligible. Because of this property, this function is invoked in qfq_deactivate_agg() to guarantee that at least one of the active aggregates is still eligible after an aggregate has been deactivated. In particular, the critical case is when there are other active aggregates, but the aggregate being deactivated happens to be the only one eligible. However, this precaution is not needed for QFQ+ to be work conserving, because update_eligible() is always invoked also at the beginning of qfq_choose_next_agg(). This patch removes the additional invocation of update_eligible() in qfq_deactivate_agg().

2013-03-06pkt_sched: sch_qfq: prevent budget from wrapping around after a dequeuePaolo Valente
Aggregate budgets are computed so as to guarantee that, after an aggregate has been selected for service, that aggregate has enough budget to serve at least one maximum-size packet for the classes it contains. For this reason, after a new aggregate has been selected for service, its next packet is immediately dequeued, without any further control. The maximum packet size for a class, lmax, can be changed through qfq_change_class(). In case the user sets lmax to a lower value than the the size of some of the still-to-arrive packets, QFQ+ will automatically push up lmax as it enqueues these packets. This automatic push up is likely to happen with TSO/GSO. In any case, if lmax is assigned a lower value than the size of some of the packets already enqueued for the class, then the following problem may occur: the size of the next packet to dequeue for the class may happen to be larger than lmax, after the aggregate to which the class belongs has been just selected for service. In this case, even the budget of the aggregate, which is an unsigned value, may be lower than the size of the next packet to dequeue. After dequeueing this packet and subtracting its size from the budget, the latter would wrap around. This fix prevents the budget from wrapping around after any packet dequeue.

2013-03-06pkt_sched: sch_qfq: serve activated aggregates immediately if the scheduler ↵Paolo Valente
is empty If no aggregate is in service, then the function qfq_dequeue() does not dequeue any packet. For this reason, to guarantee QFQ+ to be work conserving, a just-activated aggregate must be set as in service immediately if it happens to be the only active aggregate. This is done by the function qfq_enqueue(). Unfortunately, the function qfq_add_to_agg(), used to add a class to an aggregate, does not perform this important additional operation. In particular, if: 1) qfq_add_to_agg() is invoked to complete the move of a class from a source aggregate, becoming, for this move, inactive, to a destination aggregate, becoming instead active, and 2) the destination aggregate becomes the only active aggregate, then this aggregate is not however set as in service. QFQ+ remains then in a non-work-conserving state until a new invocation of qfq_enqueue() recovers the situation. This fix solves the problem by moving the logic for setting an aggregate as in service directly into the function qfq_activate_agg(). Hence, from whatever point qfq_activate_aggregate() is invoked, QFQ+ remains work conserving. Since the more-complex logic of this new version of activate_aggregate() is not necessary, in qfq_dequeue(), to reschedule an aggregate that finishes its budget, then the aggregate is now rescheduled by invoking directly the functions needed.

2013-03-06pkt_sched: sch_qfq: fix the update of eligible-group setsPaolo Valente
Between two invocations of make_eligible, the system virtual time may happen to grow enough that, in its binary representation, a bit with higher order than 31 flips. This happens especially with TSO/GSO. Before this fix, the mask used in make_eligible was computed as (1UL<<index_of_last_flipped_bit)-1, whose value is well defined on a 64-bit architecture, because index_of_flipped_bit <= 63, but is in general undefined on a 32-bit architecture if index_of_flipped_bit > 31.

2013-03-06pkt_sched: sch_qfq: properly cap timestamps in charge_actual_servicePaolo Valente
QFQ+ schedules the active aggregates in a group using a bucket list (one list per group). The bucket in which each aggregate is inserted depends on the aggregate's timestamps, and the number of buckets in a group is enough to accomodate the possible (range of) values of the timestamps of all the aggregates in the group. For this property to hold, timestamps must however be computed correctly. One necessary condition for computing timestamps correctly is that the number of bits dequeued for each aggregate, while the aggregate is in service, does not exceed the maximum budget budgetmax assigned to the aggregate. For each aggregate, budgetmax is proportional to the number of classes in the aggregate. If the number of classes of the aggregate is decreased through qfq_change_class(), then budgetmax is decreased automatically as well. Problems may occur if the aggregate is in service when budgetmax is decreased, because the current remaining budget of the aggregate and/or the service already received by the aggregate may happen to be larger than the new value of budgetmax. In this case, when the aggregate is eventually deselected and its timestamps are updated, the aggregate may happen to have received an amount of service larger than budgetmax. This may cause the aggregate to be assigned a higher virtual finish time than the maximum acceptable value for the last bucket in the bucket list of the group. This fix introduces a cap that addresses this issue. Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@unimore.it> Reviewed-by: Fabio Checconi <fchecconi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-03-03fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.Eric W. Biederman
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-" and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules to match. A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel. Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially making things safer with no real cost. Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known problematic software. This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module autofs4. This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module. After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module() without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep. Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which most filesystems do not set today.

2013-03-01ipv[4|6]: correct dropwatch false positive in local_deliver_finishNeil Horman
I had a report recently of a user trying to use dropwatch to localise some frame loss, and they were getting false positives. Turned out they were using a user space SCTP stack that used raw sockets to grab frames. When we don't have a registered protocol for a given packet, we record it as a drop, even if a raw socket receieves the frame. We should only record the drop in the event a raw socket doesnt exist to receive the frames Tested by the reported successfully Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Reported-by: William Reich <reich@ulticom.com> Tested-by: William Reich <reich@ulticom.com> CC: "David S.

A mac80211 pull from Johannes: "Seth fixes a stupid bug I introduced into one of his earlier patches, Chun-Yeow fixes mesh forwarding and Felix fixes monitor mode. I myself fixed a small locking issue and, the biggest change here, removed some nl80211 information with which sometimes the per wiphy information was getting too large for the typical 4k-minus-overhead. In my -next tree I have a patch to allow splitting that and add back the information removed now." An iwlwifi pull from Johannes: "I have a fix for a pretty important bug regarding DMA mapping, that could cause the DMA engine to overwrite data we wanted to send to it, so that the next time we send it it would be bad. This particularly affects calibration results. Other than that, three little fixes for the MVM driver." But wait, there's more! Avinash Patil fixes an incorrectly timed delay in mwifiex. Bing Zhao prevents a crash in SD8688 caused by failing to properly set a flag before issuing a command. Felix Fietkau is the big here this time, providing a trio of minor ath9k fixes and correcting the advertised interface combinations for rt2x00 when mesh support is disabled. Finally, Hauke Mehrtens gives us a patch that correctlin initializes a spin lock in the bcma code. Please let me know if there are problems! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-03-01l2tp: Restore socket refcount when sendmsg succeedsGuillaume Nault
The sendmsg() syscall handler for PPPoL2TP doesn't decrease the socket reference counter after successful transmissions. Any successful sendmsg() call from userspace will then increase the reference counter forever, thus preventing the kernel's session and tunnel data from being freed later on. The problem only happens when writing directly on L2TP sockets. PPP sockets attached to L2TP are unaffected as the PPP subsystem uses pppol2tp_xmit() which symmetrically increase/decrease reference counters. This patch adds the missing call to sock_put() before returning from pppol2tp_sendmsg(). Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The VHT MCSes we advertise to the AP were supposed to be restricted to the AP, but due to a bug in the logic mac80211 will advertise rates to the AP that aren't even supported by the local device.

2013-03-01nl80211: increase wiphy dump size dynamicallyJohannes Berg
Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy information can still overflow even though its size in 3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump" protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy. For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase the size only when needed, as described in the comments. As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we can only use 4k. Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Pull nfsd changes from J Bruce Fields: "Miscellaneous bugfixes, plus: - An overhaul of the DRC cache by Jeff Layton. The main effect is just to make it larger. This decreases the chances of intermittent errors especially in the UDP case. But we'll need to watch for any reports of performance regressions. - Containerized nfsd: with some limitations, we now support per-container nfs-service, thanks to extensive work from Stanislav Kinsbursky over the last year." Some notes about conflicts, since there were *two* non-data semantic conflicts here: - idr_remove_all() had been added by a memory leak fix, but has since become deprecated since idr_destroy() does it for us now. - xs_local_connect() had been added by this branch to make AF_LOCAL connections be synchronous, but in the meantime Trond had changed the calling convention in order to avoid a RCU dereference. There were a couple of more obvious actual source-level conflicts due to the hlist traversal changes and one just due to code changes next to each other, but those were trivial. * 'for-3.9' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (49 commits) SUNRPC: make AF_LOCAL connect synchronous nfsd: fix compiler warning about ambiguous types in nfsd_cache_csum svcrpc: fix rpc server shutdown races svcrpc: make svc_age_temp_xprts enqueue under sv_lock lockd: nlmclnt_reclaim(): avoid stack overflow nfsd: enable NFSv4 state in containers nfsd: disable usermode helper client tracker in container nfsd: use proper net while reading "exports" file nfsd: containerize NFSd filesystem nfsd: fix comments on nfsd_cache_lookup SUNRPC: move cache_detail->cache_request callback call to cache_read() SUNRPC: remove "cache_request" argument in sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() function SUNRPC: rework cache upcall logic SUNRPC: introduce cache_detail->cache_request callback NFS: simplify and clean cache library NFS: use SUNRPC cache creation and destruction helper for DNS cache nfsd4: free_stid can be static nfsd: keep a checksum of the first 256 bytes of request sunrpc: trim off trailing checksum before returning decrypted or integrity authenticated buffer sunrpc: fix comment in struct xdr_buf definition ...
