It occurs because an skb with a fraglist was freed from the tcp
retransmit queue when it was acked, but a page on that fraglist had
PG_Slab set (indicating it was allocated from the Slab allocator (which
means the free path above can't safely free it via put_page.

We tracked this back to an nfsv4 setacl operation, in which the nfs code
attempted to fill convert the passed in buffer to an array of pages in
__nfs4_proc_set_acl, which gets used by the skb->frags list in
xs_sendpages.  __nfs4_proc_set_acl just converts each page in the buffer
to a page struct via virt_to_page, but the vfs allocates the buffer via
kmalloc, meaning the PG_slab bit is set.  We can't create a buffer with
kmalloc and free it later in the tcp ack path with put_page, so we need
to either:

1) ensure that when we create the list of pages, no page struct has
   PG_Slab set

 or

2) not use a page list to send this data

Given that these buffers can be multiple pages and arbitrarily sized, I
think (1) is the right way to go.  I've written the below patch to
allocate a page from the buddy allocator directly and copy the data over
to it.  This ensures that we have a put_page free-able page for every
entry that winds up on an skb frag list, so it can be safely freed when
the frame is acked.  We do a put page on each entry after the
rpc_call_sync call so as to drop our own reference count to the page,
leaving only the ref count taken by tcp_sendpages.  This way the data
will be properly freed when the ack comes in

Successfully tested by myself to solve the above oops.

Note, as this is the result of a setacl operation that exceeded a page
of data, I think this amounts to a local DOS triggerable by an
uprivlidged user, so I'm CCing security on this as well.

13 years agoDNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]
David Howells [Thu, 3 Mar 2011 11:28:58 +0000 (11:28 +0000)]
DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]

When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].

Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.

Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.

The buggy code was added in:

commit 4a2d789267e00b5a1175ecd2ddefcc78b83fbf09
Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]

This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <keyutils.h>
#include <err.h>
static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6";
int main()
{
key_serial_t key;
key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload),
      KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
if (key == -1)
err(1, "add_key");
if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1)
err(1, "read_key");
return 0;
}

What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:

dns-break: read_key: No such device or address

but instead the kernel oopses.

This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data.  Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.

The oops looks like:

For some time is known that ASPM is causing troubles on r8169, i.e. make
device randomly stop working without any errors in dmesg.

Currently Tomi Leppikangas reports that system with r8169 device hangs
with MCE errors when ASPM is enabled:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642861#c4

Lets disable ASPM for r8169 devices at all, to avoid problems with
r8169 PCIe devices at least for some users.

blktrace: Remove blk_fill_rwbs_rq.

If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use
blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions
in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits
from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write we get:
write_test-2409  [001]   160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + =
8 [write_test]

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and
blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
write_test-2417  [000]   226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 +=

Commit e2f2a93b, "of/promtree: add package-to-path support to pdt"
changed dp->name from using the 'name' property to using
package-to-path.  This fixed /proc/device-tree creation by eliminating
conflicts between names (the 'name' property provides names like
'battery', whereas package-to-path provides names like
'/foo/bar/battery@0', which we stripped to 'battery@0').  However, it
also breaks of_device_id table matching.

The fix that we _really_ wanted was to keep dp->name based upon
the name property ('battery'), but based dp->full_name upon
package-to-path ('battery@0').  This patch does just that.

This changes all users (except SPARC) of promtree to use the full
result from package-to-path for full_name, rather than stripping the
directory out.  In practice, the strings end up being exactly the
same; this change saves time, code, and memory.

SPARC continues to use the existing build_path_component() code.

block: blk-flush shouldn't call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()

blk-flush decomposes a flush into sequence of multiple requests.  On
completion of a request, the next one is queued; however, block layer
must not implicitly call into q->request_fn() directly from completion
path.  This makes the queue behave unexpectedly when seen from the
drivers and violates the assumption that q->request_fn() is called
with process context + queue_lock.

This patch makes blk-flush the following two changes to make sure
q->request_fn() is not called directly from request completion path.

- blk_flush_complete_seq_end_io() now asks __blk_run_queue() to always
  use kblockd instead of calling directly into q->request_fn().

- queue_next_fseq() uses ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE instead of
  ELEVATOR_INSERT_FRONT so that elv_insert() doesn't try to unplug the
  request queue directly.

ext2: Fix link count corruption under heavy link+rename load

vfs_rename_other() does not lock renamed inode with i_mutex. Thus changing
i_nlink in a non-atomic manner (which happens in ext2_rename()) can corrupt
it as reported and analyzed by Josh.

In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement
games with i_nlink which also fixes the corruption.

Unfortunately, one of the callers of that function passes the

According to the report from Jiro SEKIBA titled "regression in
2.6.37?"  (Message-Id: <8739n8vs1f.wl%jir@sekiba.com>), on 2.6.37 and
later kernels, lscp command no longer displays "i" flag on checkpoints
that snapshot operations or garbage collection created.

This is a regression of nilfs2 checkpointing function, and it's
critical since it broke behavior of a part of nilfs2 applications.
For instance, snapshot manager of TimeBrowse gets to create
meaningless snapshots continuously; snapshot creation triggers another
checkpoint, but applications cannot distinguish whether the new
checkpoint contains meaningful changes or not without the i-flag.

This patch fixes the regression and brings that application behavior
back to normal.

[CPUFREQ] fix BUG on cpufreq policy init failure

cpufreq_register_driver sets cpufreq_driver to a structure owned (and
placed) in the caller's memory. If cpufreq policy fails in its ->init
function, sysdev_driver_register returns nonzero in

without setting cpufreq_driver back to NULL.

Usually cpufreq policy modules are unloaded because they propagate the
error to the module init function and return that.

drm/i915: fix memory corruption with GM965 and >4GB RAM

On a Thinkpad x61s, I noticed some memory corruption when
plugging/unplugging the external VGA connection. The symptoms are that
4 bytes at the beginning of a page get overwritten by zeroes.
The address of the corruption varies when rebooting the machine, but
stays constant while it's running (so it's possible to repeatedly write
some data and then corrupt it again by plugging the cable).

Further investigation revealed that the corrupted address is
(dev_priv->status_page_dmah->busaddr & 0xffffffff), ie. the beginning of
the hardware status page of the i965 graphics card, cut to 32 bits.

So it seems that for some memory access, the hardware uses only 32 bit
addressing. If the hardware status page is located >4GB, this
corrupts unrelated memory.

o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as
  queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening

  finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request
  descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep.

o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and
  throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for
