* pipe: take allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutexAl Viro2013-04-092-21/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * new field - pipe->files; number of struct file over that pipe (all sharing the same inode, of course); protected by inode->i_lock. * pipe_release() decrements pipe->files, clears inode->i_pipe when if the counter has reached 0 (all under ->i_lock) and, in that case, frees pipe after having done pipe_unlock() * fifo_open() starts with grabbing ->i_lock, and either bumps pipe->files if ->i_pipe was non-NULL or allocates a new pipe (dropping and regaining ->i_lock) and rechecks ->i_pipe; if it's still NULL, inserts new pipe there, otherwise bumps ->i_pipe->files and frees the one we'd allocated. At that point we know that ->i_pipe is non-NULL and won't go away, so we can do pipe_lock() on it and proceed as we used to. If we end up failing, decrement pipe->files and if it reaches 0 clear ->i_pipe and free the sucker after pipe_unlock(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The thing is, wrt fairness lglocks are more similar to rwsems than to rwlocks; it is possible to have thread B spin on attempt to take lock shared while thread A is already holding it shared, if B is on lower-numbered CPU than A and there's a thread C spinning on attempt to take the same lock exclusive. As the result, we need consistent ordering between vfsmount_lock (lglock) and rename_lock (seq_lock), even though everything that takes both is going to take vfsmount_lock only shared.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | default_file_splice_from() ends up calling vfs_write() (via very convoluted callchain). It's an overkill, since we already have done rw_verify_area() in the caller by the time we call vfs_write() we are under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so access_ok() is also pointless.

However, if this value is passed to igb_ptp_adjfreq_82576, incvalue overflows out of INCVALUE_82576_MASK, resulting in setting of zero TIMINCA.incvalue, stopping the PHC (instead of going at twice the nominal speed). Fix the advertised max_adj value to the largest value hardware can handle. As there is no min_adj value available (-max_adj is used instead), this will also prevent stopping the clock intentionally. It's probably not a big deal, other igb MAC types don't support stopping the clock, either.

The failing path is: igb_probe igb_sw_init if (max_vfs > 7) { adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 7; ... igb_probe_vfs igb_enable_sriov(, max_vfs) if (num_vfs > 7) { err = -EPERM; ... This leaves vfs_allocated_count = 7 and vf_data = NULL, so we bomb out when igb_probe finally calls igb_reset. It seems like a really bad idea, and somewhat pointless, to set vfs_allocated_count separate from vf_data, but limiting max_vfs is enough to avoid the null pointer.

This can cause a problem with the LSM hook security_unix_may_send() if there is another socket attempting to write to this partially released socket in between when sock->sk is set to NULL and it is marked as dead/orphaned. This patch fixes this by only setting sock->sk to NULL after the socket has been marked as dead; I also take the opportunity to make unix_release_sock() a void function as it only ever returned 0/success. Dave, I think this one should go on the -stable pile. Special thanks to Jan for coming up with a reproducer for this problem.

| * | bridge: fix crash when set mac address of br interfaceHong zhi guo2013-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I tried to set mac address of a bridge interface to a mac address which already learned on this bridge, I got system hang. The cause is straight forward: function br_fdb_change_mac_address calls fdb_insert with NULL source nbp. Then an fdb lookup is performed. If an fdb entry is found and it's local, it's OK. But if it's not local, source is dereferenced for printk without NULL check. Signed-off-by: Hong Zhiguo <honkiko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vlan_vid_del() could possibly free ->vlan_info after a RCU grace period, however, we may still refer to the freed memory area by 'grp' pointer. Found by code inspection. This patch moves vlan_vid_del() as behind as possible. Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Cc: "David S.
