bttv: Fix a deadlock in the bttv driver
commit 81b2dbcad86732ffc02bad87aa25c4651199fc77 in mainline.
vidiocgmbuf() does this:
mutex_lock(&fh->cap.vb_lock);
retval = videobuf_mmap_setup(&fh->cap, gbuffers, gbufsize,
V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP);
and videobuf_mmap_setup() then just does
mutex_lock(&q->vb_lock);
ret = __videobuf_mmap_setup(q, bcount, bsize, memory);
mutex_unlock(&q->vb_lock);
which is an obvious double-take deadlock.
This patch fixes this by having vidiocgmbuf() just call the
__videobuf_mmap_setup function instead.

IB/umem: Avoid sign problems when demoting npages to integer
commit 8079ffa0e18baaf2940e52e0c118eef420a473a4 upstream
On a 64-bit architecture, if ib_umem_get() is called with a size value
that is so big that npages is negative when cast to int, then the
length of the page list passed to get_user_pages(), namely
min_t(int, npages, PAGE_SIZE / sizeof (struct page *))
will be negative, and get_user_pages() will immediately return 0 (at
least since 900cf086, "Be more robust about bad arguments in
get_user_pages()"). This leads to an infinite loop in ib_umem_get(),
since the code boils down to:
while (npages) {
ret = get_user_pages(...);
npages -= ret;
}
Fix this by taking the minimum as unsigned longs, so that the value of
npages is never truncated.
The impact of this bug isn't too severe, since the value of npages is
checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, so a process would need to have an
astronomical limit or have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to trigger this,
and such a process could already cause lots of mischief. But it does
let buggy userspace code cause a kernel lock-up; for example I hit
this with code that passes a negative value into a memory registartion
function where it is promoted to a huge u64 value.

tcp: Fix inconsistency source (CA_Open only when !tcp_left_out(tp))
[ upstream commit: 8aca6cb1179ed9bef9351028c8d8af852903eae2 ]
It is possible that this skip path causes TCP to end up into an
invalid state where ca_state was left to CA_Open while some
segments already came into sacked_out. If next valid ACK doesn't
contain new SACK information TCP fails to enter into
tcp_fastretrans_alert(). Thus at least high_seq is set
incorrectly to a too high seqno because some new data segments
could be sent in between (and also, limited transmit is not
being correctly invoked there). Reordering in both directions
can easily cause this situation to occur.
I guess we would want to use tcp_moderate_cwnd(tp) there as well
as it may be possible to use this to trigger oversized burst to
network by sending an old ACK with huge amount of SACK info, but
I'm a bit unsure about its effects (mainly to FlightSize), so to
be on the safe side I just currently fixed it minimally to keep
TCP's state consistent (obviously, such nasty ACKs have been
possible this far). Though it seems that FlightSize is already
underestimated by some amount, so probably on the long term we
might want to trigger recovery there too, if appropriate, to make
FlightSize calculation to resemble reality at the time when the
losses where discovered (but such change scares me too much now
and requires some more thinking anyway how to do that as it
likely involves some code shuffling).
This bug was found by Brian Vowell while running my TCP debug
patch to find cause of another TCP issue (fackets_out
miscount).

tcp FRTO: work-around inorder receivers
[ upstream commit: 79d44516b4b178ffb6e2159c75584cfcfc097914 ]
If receiver consumes segments successfully only in-order, FRTO
fallback to conventional recovery produces RTO loop because
FRTO's forward transmissions will always get dropped and need to
be resent, yet by default they're not marked as lost (which are
the only segments we will retransmit in CA_Loss).
Price to pay about this is occassionally unnecessarily
retransmitting the forward transmission(s). SACK blocks help
a bit to avoid this, so it's mainly a concern for NewReno case
though SACK is not fully immune either.
This change has a side-effect of fixing SACKFRTO problem where
it didn't have snd_nxt of the RTO time available anymore when
fallback become necessary (this problem would have only occured
when RTO would occur for two or more segments and ECE arrives
in step 3; no need to figure out how to fix that unless the
TODO item of selective behavior is considered in future).

tcp FRTO: SACK variant is errorneously used with NewReno
[ upstream commit: 62ab22278308a40bcb7f4079e9719ab8b7fe11b5 ]
Note: there's actually another bug in FRTO's SACK variant, which
is the causing failure in NewReno case because of the error
that's fixed here. I'll fix the SACK case separately (it's
a separate bug really, though related, but in order to fix that
I need to audit tp->snd_nxt usage a bit).
There were two places where SACK variant of FRTO is getting
incorrectly used even if SACK wasn't negotiated by the TCP flow.
This leads to incorrect setting of frto_highmark with NewReno
if a previous recovery was interrupted by another RTO.
An eventual fallback to conventional recovery then incorrectly
considers one or couple of segments as forward transmissions
though they weren't, which then are not LOST marked during
fallback making them "non-retransmittable" until the next RTO.
In a bad case, those segments are really lost and are the only
one left in the window. Thus TCP needs another RTO to continue.
The next FRTO, however, could again repeat the same events
making the progress of the TCP flow extremely slow.
In order for these events to occur at all, FRTO must occur
again in FRTOs step 3 while the key segments must be lost as
well, which is not too likely in practice. It seems to most
frequently with some small devices such as network printers
that *seem* to accept TCP segments only in-order. In cases
were key segments weren't lost, things get automatically
resolved because those wrongly marked segments don't need to be
retransmitted in order to continue.
I found a reproducer after digging up relevant reports (few
reports in total, none at netdev or lkml I know of), some
cases seemed to indicate middlebox issues which seems now
to be a false assumption some people had made. Bugzilla
#10063 _might_ be related. Damon L. Chesser <damon@damtek.com>
had a reproducable case and was kind enough to tcpdump it
for me. With the tcpdump log it was quite trivial to figure

tcp FRTO: Fix fallback to conventional recovery
[ upstream commit: a1c1f281b84a751fdb5ff919da3b09df7297619f ]
It seems that commit 009a2e3e4ec ("[TCP] FRTO: Improve
interoperability with other undo_marker users") run into
another land-mine which caused fallback to conventional
recovery to break:
1. Cumulative ACK arrives after FRTO retransmission
2. tcp_try_to_open sees zero retrans_out, clears retrans_stamp
which should be kept like in CA_Loss state it would be
3. undo_marker change allowed tcp_packet_delayed to return
true because of the cleared retrans_stamp once FRTO is
terminated causing LossUndo to occur, which means all loss
markings FRTO made are reverted.
This means that the conventional recovery basically recovered
one loss per RTT, which is not that efficient. It was quite
unobvious that the undo_marker change broken something like
this, I had a quite long session to track it down because of
the non-intuitiviness of the bug (luckily I had a trivial
reproducer at hand and I was also able to learn to use kprobes
in the process as well :-)).
This together with the NewReno+FRTO fix and FRTO in-order
workaround this fixes Damon's problems, this and the first
mentioned are enough to fix Bugzilla #10063.

tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync condition
[ upstream commit: a6604471db5e7a33474a7f16c64d6b118fae3e74 ]
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
in cache in the first place.
3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.
It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.
Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).
This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.
This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing &
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.

l2tp: Fix possible oops if transmitting or receiving when tunnel goes down

Some problems have been experienced in the field which cause an oops
in the pppol2tp driver if L2TP tunnels fail while passing data.
The pppol2tp driver uses private data that is referenced via the
sk->sk_user_data of its UDP and PPPoL2TP sockets. This patch makes
sure that the driver uses sock_hold() when it holds a reference to the
sk pointer. This affects its sendmsg(), recvmsg(), getname(),
[gs]etsockopt() and ioctl() handlers.
Tested by ISP where problem was seen. System has been up 10 days with
no oops since running this patch. Without the patch, an oops would
occur every 1-2 days.

tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
[ upstream commit: 7d227cd235c809c36c847d6a597956ad9e9d2bae ]
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

l2tp: avoid skb truesize bug if headroom is increased
[ upstream commit: 090c48d3dd5ea90b37350334aaed9a93b0c1e0a1 ]
A user reported seeing occasional bugs such as the following when
using the L2TP driver.
SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (272) len=72, sizeof(sk_buff)=208
When L2TP adds its header in the transmit path, it might need to
increase the headroom of the skb. In some cases, the increased
headroom trips a kernel bug when the skb is freed because the skb has
grown beyond its truesize value. The fix is to increase the truesize
by the amount of headroom added, after orphaning the skb.
While here, fix a misleading comment.

report and testing the fix.

netlink: Fix nla_parse_nested_compat() to call nla_parse() directly
[ upstream commit: b9a2f2e450b0f770bb4347ae8d48eb2dea701e24 ]
The purpose of nla_parse_nested_compat() is to parse attributes which
contain a struct followed by a stream of nested attributes. So far,
it called nla_parse_nested() to parse the stream of nested attributes
which was wrong, as nla_parse_nested() expects a container attribute
as data which holds the attribute stream. It needs to call
nla_parse() directly while pointing at the next possible alignment
point after the struct in the beginning of the attribute.
With this patch, I can no longer reproduce the reported leftover
warnings.

ipsec: Use the correct ip_local_out function
[ upstream commit: 1ac06e0306d0192a7a4d9ea1c9e06d355ce7e7d3 ]
Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its
own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output
instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output
directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output
may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes.
When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after
it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the
offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs
such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible.
Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this
down.

bluetooth: rfcomm_dev_state_change deadlock fix
commit 537d59af73d894750cff14f90fe2b6d77fbab15b in mainline
There's logic in __rfcomm_dlc_close:
rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
d->state = BT_CLOSED;
d->state_changed(d, err);
rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
In rfcomm_dev_state_change, it's possible that rfcomm_dev_put try to
take the dlc lock, then we will deadlock.
Here fixed it by unlock dlc before rfcomm_dev_get in
rfcomm_dev_state_change.
why not unlock just before rfcomm_dev_put? it's because there's
another problem. rfcomm_dev_get/rfcomm_dev_del will take
rfcomm_dev_lock, but in rfcomm_dev_add the lock order is :
rfcomm_dev_lock --> dlc lock
so I unlock dlc before the taken of rfcomm_dev_lock.
Actually it's a regression caused by commit
1905f6c736cb618e07eca0c96e60e3c024023428 ("bluetooth :
__rfcomm_dlc_close lock fix"), the dlc state_change could be two
callbacks : rfcomm_sk_state_change and rfcomm_dev_state_change. I
missed the rfcomm_sk_state_change that time.
Thanks Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for the effort in
commit 4c8411f8c115def968820a4df6658ccfd55d7f1a ("bluetooth: fix

bluetooth: fix locking bug in the rfcomm socket cleanup handling
[ Upstream commit: 7dccf1f4e1696c79bff064c3770867cc53cbc71c ]
in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c, rfcomm_sk_state_change() does the
following operation:
if (parent && sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED)) {
/* We have to drop DLC lock here, otherwise
* rfcomm_sock_destruct() will dead lock. */
rfcomm_dlc_unlock(d);
rfcomm_sock_kill(sk);
rfcomm_dlc_lock(d);
}
}
which is fine, since rfcomm_sock_kill() will call sk_free() which will call
rfcomm_sock_destruct() which takes the rfcomm_dlc_lock()... so far so good.
HOWEVER, this assumes that the rfcomm_sk_state_change() function always gets
called with the rfcomm_dlc_lock() taken. This is the case for all but one
case, and in that case where we don't have the lock, we do a double unlock
followed by an attempt to take the lock, which due to underflow isn't
going anywhere fast.
This patch fixes this by moving the stragling case inside the lock, like
the other usages of the same call are doing in this code.
This was found with the help of the project, where this
deadlock was observed 51 times at this point in time:

sound: emu10k1 - fix system hang with Audigy2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA card
upstream commit: 868e15dbd2940f9453b4399117686f408dc77299
When the Linux kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ=y,
the Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA card causes the
system hang during boot (udev stage) or when the card is hot-plug.
The CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ flag is by default 'y' with all Fedora
kernels since 2.6.23. The problem was reported as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=326411
The issue was hunted down to the snd_emu10k1_create() routine:
/* pseudo-code */
snd_emu10k1_create(...) {
...
request_irq(... IRQF_SHARED ...) {
register the irq handler
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ
call the irq handler: snd_emu10k1_interrupt() {
poll I/O port // <---- !! system hangs
...
}
#endif
}
...
snd_emu10k1_cardbus_init(...) {
initialize I/O ports
}
...
}
The early access to I/O port in the interrupt handler causes
the freeze. Obviously it is necessary to init the I/O ports
before accessing them. This patch moves the registration of
the irq handler after the initialization of the I/O ports.

ipwireless: Fix blocked sending
upstream commit: eb4e545d4ac82d9018487edb4419b33b9930c857
Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued.
It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and
hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not.
The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else
first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be
pending packets which do not get sent.
New semantics:
tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being
transferred right now
set the flag right at the place where data are copied
into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it
was succesful
tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments
