(cherry pick from android-3.10 commit b58133100b38f2bf83cad2d7097417a3a196ed0b)
Removing a bounce buffer copy operation in the pmsg driver path is
always better. We also gain in overall performance by not requesting
a vmalloc on every write as this can cause precious RT tasks, such
as user facing media operation, to stall while memory is being
reclaimed. Added a write_buf_user to the pstore functions, a backup
platform write_buf_user that uses the small buffer that is part of
the instance, and implemented a ramoops write_buf_user that only
supports PSTORE_TYPE_PMSG.

First of all, trying to open them r/w is idiocy; it's guaranteed to fail.
Moreover, assigning ->f_pos and assuming that everything will work is
blatantly broken - try that with e.g. tmpfs as underlying layer and watch
the fireworks. There may be a non-trivial amount of state associated with
current IO position, well beyond the numeric offset. Using the single
struct file associated with underlying inode is really not a good idea;
we ought to open one for each ecryptfs directory struct file.
Additionally, file_operations both for directories and non-directories are
full of pointless methods; non-directories should *not* have ->iterate(),
directories should not have ->flush(), ->fasync() and ->splice_read().

In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS)
to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds
when p == current, but the CAP_SYS_NICE doesn't.
Thus while the previous commit was intended to loosen the needed
privledges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted
a task modifying its own timerslack via the proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns
(which is permitted also via the PR_SET_TIMERSLACK method).
This patch corrects this by checking if p == current before checking
the CAP_SYS_NICE value.

As requested, this patch checks the existing LSM hooks
task_getscheduler/task_setscheduler when reading or modifying
the task's timerslack value.
Previous versions added new get/settimerslack LSM hooks, but
since they checked the same PROCESS__SET/GETSCHED values as
existing hooks, it was suggested we just use the existing ones.

When an interface to allow a task to change another tasks
timerslack was first proposed, it was suggested that something
greater then CAP_SYS_NICE would be needed, as a task could be
delayed further then what normally could be done with nice
adjustments.
So CAP_SYS_PTRACE was adopted instead for what became the
/proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns interface. However, for Android (where
this feature originates), giving the system_server
CAP_SYS_PTRACE would allow it to observe and modify all tasks
memory. This is considered too high a privilege level for only
needing to change the timerslack.
After some discussion, it was realized that a CAP_SYS_NICE
process can set a task as SCHED_FIFO, so they could fork some
spinning processes and set them all SCHED_FIFO 99, in effect
delaying all other tasks for an infinite amount of time.
So as a CAP_SYS_NICE task can already cause trouble for other
tasks, using it as a required capability for accessing and
modifying /proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns seems sufficient.
Thus, this patch loosens the capability requirements to
CAP_SYS_NICE and removes CAP_SYS_PTRACE, simplifying some
of the code flow as well.
This is technically an ABI change, but as the feature just
landed in 4.6, I suspect no one is yet using it.

blocksize / sizeof(__u32) --- and then add a backup check in

to call ext4_should_journal_data() before superblock options and flags

Work around this problem by reordering the tests so we only call

commit 646caa9c8e196880b41cd3e3d33a2ebc752bdb85 upstream.
Commit 06bd3c36a733 (ext4: fix data exposure after a crash) uncovered a
deadlock in ext4_writepages() which was previously much harder to hit.
After this commit xfstest generic/130 reproduces the deadlock on small
filesystems.
The problem happens when ext4_do_update_inode() sets LARGE_FILE feature
and marks current inode handle as synchronous. That subsequently results
in ext4_journal_stop() called from ext4_writepages() to block waiting for
transaction commit while still holding page locks, reference to io_end,
and some prepared bio in mpd structure each of which can possibly block
transaction commit from completing and thus results in deadlock.
Fix the problem by releasing page locks, io_end reference, and
submitting prepared bio before calling ext4_journal_stop().

is synchronous. --tytso ]

commit f70749ca42943faa4d4dcce46dfdcaadb1d0c4b6 upstream.
An extent with lblock = 4294967295 and len = 1 will pass the

ext4_lblk_t last = lblock + len - 1;
if (len == 0 || lblock > last)
return 0;
since last = 4294967295 + 1 - 1 = 4294967295. This would later trigger
the BUG_ON(es->es_lblk + es->es_len < es->es_lblk) in ext4_es_end().
We can simplify it by removing the - 1 altogether and changing the test
to use lblock + len <= lblock, since now if len = 0, then lblock + 0 ==
lblock and it fails, and if len > 0 then lblock + len > lblock in order
to pass (i.e. it doesn't overflow).

commit 67245ff332064c01b760afa7a384ccda024bfd24 upstream.
This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that
struct inode *ptmx_inode
be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts.
By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner,
and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will
allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time,
and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode.
The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some
locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical:
- the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *"
instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now.
NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure
as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely
internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any
way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code.
- the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that
also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock.
So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get
ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op
(devpts_put_ref()).
- the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info,
not the ptmx inode.
- because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of
base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just
gets the ref on the superblock.
- the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so
that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although
quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having
to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more
straightforward.
In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really
be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're
associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time.
The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated
with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single
/dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own
instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane
in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time.
This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple
pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only
an internal binding model.

Before 4bacc9c923 ("overlayfs: Make f_path...") file->f_path pointed to

After that patch file->f_path pointed to the overlay file, and the file
mode bits weren't copied to overlay_inode->i_mode. So the suid/sgid
removal simply stopped working.
The fix is to copy the mode bits, but then ovl_setattr() needs to clear
ATTR_MODE to avoid the BUG() in notify_change(). So do this first, then in
the next patch copy the mode.

commit e06b933e6ded42384164d28a2060b7f89243b895 upstream.
- m_start() in fs/namespace.c expects that ns->event is incremented each
time a mount added or removed from ns->list.
- umount_tree() removes items from the list but does not increment event
counter, expecting that it's done before the function is called.
- There are some codepaths that call umount_tree() without updating
"event" counter. e.g. from __detach_mounts().
- When this happens m_start may reuse a cached mount structure that no
longer belongs to ns->list (i.e. use after free which usually leads
to infinite loop).
This change fixes the above problem by incrementing global event counter
before invoking umount_tree().

Although the extent tree depth of 5 should enough be for the worst
case of 2*32 extents of length 1, the extent tree code does not
currently to merge nodes which are less than half-full with a sibling
node, or to shrink the tree depth if possible. So it's possible, at
least in theory, for the tree depth to be greater than 5. However,
even in the worst case, a tree depth of 32 is highly unlikely, and if
the file system is maliciously corrupted, an insanely large eh_depth
can cause memory allocation failures that will trigger kernel warnings
(here, eh_depth = 65280):

There are legitimate reasons to disallow mmap on certain files, notably
in sysfs or procfs. We shouldn't emulate mmap support on file systems

This reverts commit 2f36db71009304b3f0b95afacd8eba1f9f046b87.
It fixed a local root exploit but also introduced a dependency on
the lower file system implementing an mmap operation just to open a file,
which is a bit of a heavy hammer. The right fix is to have mmap depend
on the existence of the mmap handler instead.

commit 6343a2120862f7023006c8091ad95c1f16a32077 upstream.
(Another one for the f_path debacle.)
ltp fcntl33 testcase caused an Oops in selinux_file_send_sigiotask.
The reason is that generic_add_lease() used filp->f_path.dentry->inode
while all the others use file_inode(). This makes a difference for files
opened on overlayfs since the former will point to the overlay inode the
latter to the underlying inode.
So generic_add_lease() added the lease to the overlay inode and
generic_delete_lease() removed it from the underlying inode. When the file
was released the lease remained on the overlay inode's lock list, resulting
in use after free.

commit 63d2f95d63396059200c391ca87161897b99e74a upstream.
The value `bytes' comes from the filesystem which is about to be
mounted. We cannot trust that the value is always in the range we
expect it to be.
Check its value before using it to calculate the length for the crc32_le
call. It value must be larger (or equal) sumoff + 4.
This fixes a kernel bug when accidentially mounting an image file which
had the nilfs2 magic value 0x3434 at the right offset 0x406 by chance.
The bytes 0x01 0x00 were stored at 0x408 and were interpreted as a
s_bytes value of 1. This caused an underflow when substracting sumoff +
4 (20) in the call to crc32_le.

commit 11f3710417d026ea2f4fcf362d866342c5274185 upstream.
Unlink and rename in overlayfs checked the upper dentry for staleness by
verifying upper->d_parent against upperdir. However the dentry can go
stale also by being unhashed, for example.
Expand the verification to actually look up the name again (under parent
lock) and check if it matches the upper dentry. This matches what the VFS
does before passing the dentry to filesytem's unlink/rename methods, which
excludes any inconsistency caused by overlayfs.

commit b8da344b74c822e966c6d19d6b2321efe82c5d97 upstream.
In sess_auth_rawntlmssp_authenticate(), the ntlmssp blob is allocated
statically and its size is an "empirical" 5*sizeof(struct
_AUTHENTICATE_MESSAGE) (320B on x86_64). I don't know where this value
comes from or if it was ever appropriate, but it is currently
insufficient: the user and domain name in UTF16 could take 1kB by
themselves. Because of that, build_ntlmssp_auth_blob() might corrupt
memory (out-of-bounds write). The size of ntlmssp_blob in
SMB2_sess_setup() is too small too (sizeof(struct _NEGOTIATE_MESSAGE)
+ 500).
This patch allocates the blob dynamically in
build_ntlmssp_auth_blob().

Azure server blocks clients that open a socket and don't do anything on it.
In our reconnect scenarios, we can reconnect the tcp session and
detect the socket is available but we defer the negprot and SMB3 session
setup and tree connect reconnection until the next i/o is requested, but
this looks suspicous to some servers who expect SMB3 negprog and session
setup soon after a socket is created.
In the echo thread, reconnect SMB3 sessions and tree connections
that are disconnected. A later patch will replay persistent (and

The upper dentry may become stale before we call ovl_lock_rename_workdir.
For example, someone could (mistakenly or maliciously) manually unlink(2)
it directly from upperdir.
To ensure it is not stale, let's lookup it after ovl_lock_rename_workdir
and and check if it matches the upper dentry.
Essentially, it is the same problem and similar solution as in

Right now when a new overlay inode is created, we initialize overlay
inode's ->i_mode from underlying inode ->i_mode but we retain only

This patch changes it and retains permission bits too. This should allow
overlay to do permission checks on overlay inode itself in task context.

commit 64c12921e11b3a0c10d088606e328c58e29274d8 upstream.
The test for !trans->blocks_used in btrfs_abort_transaction is
insufficient to determine whether it's safe to drop the transaction
handle on the floor. btrfs_cow_block, informed by should_cow_block,
can return blocks that have already been CoW'd in the current
transaction. trans->blocks_used is only incremented for new block
allocations. If an operation overlaps the blocks in the current
transaction entirely and must abort the transaction, we'll happily
let it clean up the trans handle even though it may have modified
the blocks and will commit an incomplete operation.
In the long-term, I'd like to do closer tracking of when the fs
is actually modified so we can still recover as gracefully as possible,
but that approach will need some discussion. In the short term,
since this is the only code using trans->blocks_used, let's just
switch it to a bool indicating whether any blocks were used and set
it when should_cow_block returns false.

UBIFS is using PagePrivate() which can have different meanings across
filesystems. Therefore the generic page migration code cannot handle this
case correctly.
We have to implement our own migration function which basically does a
plain copy but also duplicates the page private flag.
UBIFS is not a block device filesystem and cannot use buffer_migrate_page().

commit e547f2628327fec6afd2e03b46f113f614cca05b upstream.
Olga Kornievskaia reports that the following test fails to trigger
an OPEN_DOWNGRADE on the wire, and only triggers the final CLOSE.
fd0 = open(foo, RDRW) -- should be open on the wire for "both"
fd1 = open(foo, RDONLY) -- should be open on the wire for "read"
close(fd0) -- should trigger an open_downgrade
read(fd1)
close(fd1)
The issue is that we're missing a check for whether or not the current
state transitioned from an O_RDWR state as opposed to having transitioned
from a combination of O_RDONLY and O_WRONLY.

In "NFSv4: Move dentry instantiation into the NFSv4-specific atomic open code"
unconditional d_drop() after the ->open_context() had been removed. It had
been correct for success cases (there ->open_context() itself had been doing
dcache manipulations), but not for error ones. Only one of those (ENOENT)
got a compensatory d_drop() added in that commit, but in fact it should've
been done for all errors. As it is, the case of O_CREAT non-exclusive open
on a hashed negative dentry racing with e.g. symlink creation from another
client ended up with ->open_context() getting an error and proceeding to
call nfs_lookup(). On a hashed dentry, which would've instantly triggered
BUG_ON() in d_materialise_unique() (or, these days, its equivalent in
d_splice_alias()).

commit 999653786df6954a31044528ac3f7a5dadca08f4 upstream.
Use set_posix_acl, which includes proper permission checks, instead of
calling ->set_acl directly. Without this anyone may be able to grant
themselves permissions to a file by setting the ACL.
Lock the inode to make the new checks atomic with respect to set_acl.
(Also, nfsd was the only caller of set_acl not locking the inode, so I
suspect this may fix other races.)
This also simplifies the code, and ensures our ACLs are checked by
posix_acl_valid.
The permission checks and the inode locking were lost with commit
4ac7249e, which changed nfsd to use the set_acl inode operation directly
instead of going through xattr handlers.

It used to be the case that state had an rwlock that was locked for write
by downgrades, but for read for upgrades (opens). Well, the problem is
if there are two competing opens for the same state, they step on
each other toes potentially leading to leaking file descriptors
from the state structure, since access mode is a bitmap only set once.

In rare cases it is possible for s_flags & MS_RDONLY to be set but
MNT_READONLY to be clear. This starting combination can cause
fs_fully_visible to fail to ensure that the new mount is readonly.
Therefore force MNT_LOCK_READONLY in the new mount if MS_RDONLY
is set on the source filesystem of the mount.
In general both MS_RDONLY and MNT_READONLY are set at the same for
mounts so I don't expect any programs to care. Nor do I expect
MS_RDONLY to be set on proc or sysfs in the initial user namespace,
which further decreases the likelyhood of problems.
Which means this change should only affect system configurations by
paranoid sysadmins who should welcome the additional protection
as it keeps people from wriggling out of their policies.

This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a
task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed.
This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for
other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the
thread is designated foreground vs. background activity)
If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise
sets it to the default for the thread.
This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use
PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure
arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

This backports da8b44d5a9f8bf26da637b7336508ca534d6b319 from upstream.
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which
would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value
on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something
Android currently does via out-of-tree patches).
The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was
defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit
systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically
unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines.
The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface
which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on
both 32bit and 64bit machines.
With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on
bash to 10 seconds:
$ time sleep 1
real 0m10.747s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.005s
The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta
arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me
know if it makes sense to break that up more or not.
Other than that things are fairly straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned
long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just
over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500
years).
This disparity could make application development a little (as well as
the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems
have the same effective internal slack range.
Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify
the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on
32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned
long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is
actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long.
This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack
delta as a unsigned long.
