      GFS2: Issue discards in 512b sectors · b2c87cae
      Bob Peterson authored 
      

This patch changes GFS2's discard issuing code so that it calls
function sb_issue_discard rather than blkdev_issue_discard. The
code was calling blkdev_issue_discard and specifying the correct
sector offset and sector size, but blkdev_issue_discard expects
these values to be in terms of 512 byte sectors, even if the native
sector size for the device is different. Calling sb_issue_discard
with the BLOCK size instead ensures the correct block-to-512b-sector
translation. I verified that "minlen" is specified in blocks, so
comparing it to a number of blocks is correct.

      Pull ARM SoC bug fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "After a quiet set of fixes for 3.9-rc4, a lot of people woke up and
  sent urgent fixes for 3.9.  I pushed back on a number of them that got
  deferred to 3.10, but these are the ones that seemed important.

  Regression in 3.9:

   - Multiple regressions in OMAP2+ clock cleanup
   - SH-Mobile frame buffer bug fix that merged here because of
     maintainer MIA
   - ux500 prcmu changes broke DT booting
   - MMCI duplicated regulator setup on ux500
   - New ux500 clock driver broke ethernet on snowball
   - Local interrupt driver for mvebu broke ethernet
   - MVEBU GPIO driver did not get set up right on Orion DT
   - incorrect interrupt number on Orion crypto for DT

  Long-standing bugs, including candidates for stable:

   - Kirkwood MMC needs to disable invalid card detect pins
   - MV SDIO pinmux was wrong on Mirabox
   - GoFlex Net board file needs to set NAND chip delay
   - MSM timer restart race
   - ep93xx early debug code broke in 3.7
   - i.MX CPU hotplug race
   - Incorrect clock setup for OMAP1 USB
   - Workaround for bad clock setup by some old OMAP4 boot loaders
   - Static I/O mappings on cns3xxx since 3.2"

This tag includes Mac Lin's work to revive CNS3xxx booting:

 "Since commit 0536bdf3 (ARM: move iotable mappings within the vmalloc
 region), [...] the pre-defined iotable mappings is not in the vmalloc
 region. [...] move the iotable mappings into the vmalloc region, and
 merge the MPCore private memory region (containing the SCU, the GIC and
 the TWD) as a single region."

Plus there is a small cosmetic fix, also from Mac Lin.

      s390/mm: provide emtpy check_pgt_cache() function · 765a0cac
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      

All architectures need to provide a check_pgt_cache() function. The s390 one
got lost somewhere.
So reintroduce it to prevent future compile errors e.g. if Thomas Gleixner's
idle loop rework patches get merged.

      s390/uaccess: fix page table walk · ea81531d
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      

When translating user space addresses to kernel addresses the follow_table()
function had two bugs:

- PROT_NONE mappings could be read accessed via the kernel mapping. That is
  e.g. putting a filename into a user page, then protecting the page with
  PROT_NONE and afterwards issuing the "open" syscall with a pointer to
  the filename would incorrectly succeed.

- when walking the page tables it used the pgd/pud/pmd/pte primitives which
  with dynamic page tables give no indication which real level of page tables
  is being walked (region2, region3, segment or page table). So in case of an
  exception the translation exception code passed to __handle_fault() is not
  necessarily correct.
  This is not really an issue since __handle_fault() doesn't evaluate the code.
  Only in case of e.g. a SIGBUS this code gets passed to user space. If user
  space can do something sane with the value is a different question though.

To fix these issues don't use any Linux primitives. Only walk the page tables
like the hardware would do it, however we leave quite some checks away since
we know that we only have full size page tables and each index is within bounds.

In theory this should fix all issues...

      loop: prevent bdev freeing while device in use · c1681bf8
      Anatol Pomozov authored 
      

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".

But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
  bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0
  loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop]
  lo_ioctl+0x200/0x7e0 [loop]
  lo_compat_ioctl+0x47/0xe0 [loop]
  compat_blkdev_ioctl+0x341/0x1290
  do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0
  compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20
  do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0
  sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a

To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().

The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
  while [ true ]; do
    losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
    echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    losetup -d /dev/loop0
  done

[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
  time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
  Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
  it will get EBUSY.  And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
  device we'll get ENXIO.

  loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
  loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

Under some circumstances the PLLE needs to be retrained, in which case
access to the PMC registers is required. Fix this by passing a pointer
to the PMC registers instead of NULL when registering the PLLE clock.
