commit e7c0c3fa upstream. When a replacement operation completes there is a small window when the original device is marked 'faulty' and the replacement still looks like a replacement. The faulty should be removed and the replacement moved in place very quickly, bit it isn't instant. So the code write out to the array must handle the possibility that the only working device for some slot in the replacement - but it doesn't. If the primary device is faulty it just gives up. This can lead to corruption. So make the code more robust: if either the primary or the replacement is present and working, write to them. Only when neither are present do we give up. This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in 3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then. Reported-by:

commit feadf7c0 upstream. The EEH core is talking with the PCI device driver to determine the action (purely reset, or PCI device removal).

commit bef53b01 upstream. The update_backups() function is used to backup all the metadata blocks, so we should not take it for granted that 'data' is pointed to a super block and use ext4_superblock_csum_set to calculate the checksum there. In case where the data is a group descriptor block, it will corrupt the last group descriptor, and then e2fsck will complain about it it. As all the metadata checksums should already be OK when we do the backup, remove the wrong ext4_superblock_csum_set and it should be just fine. Reported-by:

commit 50694c28 upstream. Commit 5515061d ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making forward progress and can effectively deadlock. This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process exit quickly. If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate for 3.6. Signed-off-by:

commit 4eff96dd upstream. Commit 169ebd90 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread") removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU (iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again. The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the problem: for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do mkdir $i for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do touch $i/$j echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches done done then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again. We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete(). Signed-off-by:

commit a7227a0f upstream. dev_pm_qos_add_request() can return 0, 1, or a negative error code, therefore the correct error test is "if (error < 0)." Checking just for non-zero return code leads to erroneous setting of the req->dev pointer to NULL, which then leads to a repeated call to dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request() in st1232_ts_irq_handler(). This in turn leads to an Oops, when the I2C host adapter is unloaded and reloaded again because of the inconsistent state of its QoS request list. Signed-off-by:

It's perfectly OK, since we are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics we are using on other architectures.

Commit 09e05d48 introduced a wait for transaction commit into journal_unmap_buffer() in the case we are truncating a buffer undergoing commit in the page stradding i_size on a filesystem with blocksize < pagesize. Sadly we forgot to drop buffer lock before waiting for transaction commit and thus deadlock is possible when kjournald wants to lock the buffer. Fix the problem by dropping the buffer lock before waiting for transaction commit. Since we are still holding page lock (and that is OK), buffer cannot disappear under us. Signed-off-by:

commit aa10990e upstream. Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test exposed. Sometime between queue_me() and taking the q.lock_ptr, the lock_ptr became NULL, resulting in a crash. While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() do not perform the same test. Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition is true. This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

commit 893d290f upstream. After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed immediately. Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone. Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary. This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated is so small.

commit 884162df upstream. When a write to a replacement device completes, we carefully and correctly found the rdev that the write actually went to and the blithely called rdev_dec_pending on the primary rdev, even if this write was to the replacement. This means that any writes to an array while a replacement was ongoing would cause the nr_pending count for the primary device to go negative, so it could never be removed. This bug has been present since replacement was introduced in 3.3, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel since then. Reported-by:

commit 5a6ea4af upstream. The pointer returned by kzalloc should be tested for NULL to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference later. Incorrect pointer was being tested for NULL. Bug introduced by commit fbcf62a3 (mtd: physmap_of: move parse_obsolete_partitions to become separate parser). This patch fixes this bug. Signed-off-by:

commit 441a179d upstream. int sys32_rt_sigprocmask(int how, compat_sigset_t __user *set, compat_sigset_t __user *oset, unsigned int sigsetsize) { sigset_t old_set, new_set; int ret; if (set && get_sigset32(set, &new_set, sigsetsize)) ... static int get_sigset32(compat_sigset_t __user *up, sigset_t *set, size_t sz) { compat_sigset_t s; int r; if (sz != sizeof *set) panic("put_sigset32()"); In other words, rt_sigprocmask(69, (void *)69, 69) done by 32bit process will promptly panic the box.
