net: Fix use after free in the recvmmsg exit path

2016-10-26T15:15:47Z

commit 34b88a68f26a75e4fded796f1a49c40f82234b7d upstream. The syzkaller fuzzer hit the following use-after-free: Call Trace: [] __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x3e/0x40 mm/kasan/report.c:295 [] __sys_recvmmsg+0x6fa/0x7f0 net/socket.c:2261 [< inline >] SYSC_recvmmsg net/socket.c:2281 [] SyS_recvmmsg+0x16f/0x180 net/socket.c:2270 [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x16/0x7a arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:185 And, as Dmitry rightly assessed, that is because we can drop the reference and then touch it when the underlying recvmsg calls return some packets and then hit an error, which will make recvmmsg to set sock->sk->sk_err, oops, fix it.

mm, gup: close FOLL MAP_PRIVATE race

2016-10-26T15:15:46Z

commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 upstream. faultin_page drops FOLL_WRITE after the page fault handler did the CoW and then we retry follow_page_mask to get our CoWed page. This is racy, however because the page might have been unmapped by that time and so we would have to do a page fault again, this time without CoW. This would cause the page cache corruption for FOLL_FORCE on MAP_PRIVATE read only mappings with obvious consequences. This is an ancient bug that was actually already fixed once by Linus eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug") because s390 didn't have proper dirty pte tracking until abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits"). This wasn't a problem at the time as pointed out by Hugh Dickins because madvise relied on mmap_sem for write up until 0a27a14a6292 ("mm: madvise avoid exclusive mmap_sem") but since then we can race with madvise which can unmap the fresh COWed page or with KSM and corrupt the content of the shared page. This patch is based on the Linus' approach to not clear FOLL_WRITE after the CoW page fault (aka VM_FAULT_WRITE) but instead introduces FOLL_COW to note this fact. The flag is then rechecked during follow_pfn_pte to enforce the page fault again if we do not see the CoWed page. Linus was suggesting to check pte_dirty again as s390 is OK now. But that would make backporting to some old kernels harder. So instead let's just make sure that vm_normal_page sees a pure anonymous page. This would guarantee we are seeing a real CoW page. Introduce can_follow_write_pte which checks both pte_write and falls back to PageAnon on forced write faults which passed CoW already. Thanks to Hugh to point out that a special care has to be taken for KSM pages because our COWed page might have been merged with a KSM one and keep its PageAnon flag.

net/core: revert "net: fix __netdev_update_features return.." and add comment

2016-10-26T15:15:46Z

commit 17b85d29e82cc3c874a497a8bc5764d6a2b043e2 upstream. This reverts commit 00ee59271777 ("net: fix __netdev_update_features return on ndo_set_features failure") and adds a comment explaining why it's okay to return a value other than 0 upon error. Some drivers might actually change flags and return an error so it's better to fire a spurious notification rather than miss these.

ser_gigaset: use container_of() instead of detour

2016-10-26T15:15:46Z

commit 8d2c3ab4445640957d136caa3629857d63544a2a upstream. The purpose of gigaset_device_release() is to kfree() the struct ser_cardstate that contains our struct device. This is done via a bit of a detour. First we make our struct device's driver_data point to the container of our struct ser_cardstate (which is a struct cardstate). In gigaset_device_release() we then retrieve that driver_data again. And after that we finally kfree() the struct ser_cardstate that was saved in the struct cardstate. All of this can be achieved much easier by using container_of() to get from our struct device to its container, struct ser_cardstate. Do so. Note that at the time the detour was implemented commit b8b2c7d845d5 ("base/platform: assert that dev_pm_domain callbacks are called unconditionally") had just entered the tree. That commit disconnected our platform_device and our platform_driver. These were reconnected again in v4.5-rc2 through commit 25cad69f21f5 ("base/platform: Fix platform drivers with no probe callback"). And one of the consequences of that fix was that it broke the detour via driver_data. That's because it made __device_release_driver() stop being a NOP for our struct device and actually do stuff again. One of the things it now does, is setting our driver_data to NULL. That, in turn, makes it impossible for gigaset_device_release() to get to our struct cardstate. Which has the net effect of leaking a struct ser_cardstate at every call of this driver's tty close() operation. So using container_of() has the additional benefit of actually working.

xen/pciback: Save the number of MSI-X entries to be copied later.

2016-10-26T15:15:45Z

commit d159457b84395927b5a52adb72f748dd089ad5e5 upstream. Commit 8135cf8b092723dbfcc611fe6fdcb3a36c9951c5 (xen/pciback: Save xen_pci_op commands before processing it) broke enabling MSI-X because it would never copy the resulting vectors into the response. The number of vectors requested was being overwritten by the return value (typically zero for success). Save the number of vectors before processing the op, so the correct number of vectors are copied afterwards.

mm, vmstat: fix wrong WQ sleep when memory reclaim doesn't make any progress

2016-10-26T15:15:45Z

commit 564e81a57f9788b1475127012e0fd44e9049e342 upstream. Jan Stancek has reported that system occasionally hanging after "oom01" testcase from LTP triggers OOM. Guessing from a result that there is a kworker thread doing memory allocation and the values between "Node 0 Normal free:" and "Node 0 Normal:" differs when hanging, vmstat is not up-to-date for some reason. According to commit 373ccbe59270 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress"), it meant to force the kworker thread to take a short sleep, but it by error used schedule_timeout(1). We missed that schedule_timeout() in state TASK_RUNNING doesn't do anything. Fix it by using schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) which forces the kworker thread to take a short sleep in order to make sure that vmstat is up-to-date.

time: Prevent early expiry of hrtimers[CLOCK_REALTIME] at the leap second edge

2016-10-26T15:15:45Z

commit 833f32d763028c1bb371c64f457788b933773b3e upstream. Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result, the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the second edge. This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based, but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance overhead. However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early, since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping timer, which then applies the leapsecond. This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful, since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.) However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing. So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early, this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer core from expiring timers too early. This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths. Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance overhead. While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually.

tcp: make challenge acks less predictable

2016-10-26T15:15:44Z

commit 75ff39ccc1bd5d3c455b6822ab09e533c551f758 upstream. Yue Cao claims that current host rate limiting of challenge ACKS (RFC 5961) could leak enough information to allow a patient attacker to hijack TCP sessions. He will soon provide details in an academic paper. This patch increases the default limit from 100 to 1000, and adds some randomization so that the attacker can no longer hijack sessions without spending a considerable amount of probes. Based on initial analysis and patch from Linus. Note that we also have per socket rate limiting, so it is tempting to remove the host limit in the future. v2: randomize the count of challenge acks per second, not the period.
