      wait: using uninitialized member of wait queue · 231d0aef
      Evgeny Kuznetsov 提交于
      The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in
      the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait().  "flags" is
      used in bitwise operations.
      
      If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place.
      Incorrect flags might used later in code.
      
      Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into
      "init_wait".

      [ The bit we care about does end up being initialized by both
         prepare_to_wait() and add_to_wait_queue(), so this doesn't seem to
         cause actual bugs, but is definitely the right thing to do -Linus ]

      modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race · 5336377d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
      that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
      possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
      
      However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
      that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
      doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
      dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
      "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
      
      Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
      with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
      module loading lock any more.
      
      So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
      from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
      process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
      are now safe.
      
      Future fixups:
       - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
         belongs.
       - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
         (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
         for other reasons.

      xfrm: Allow different selector family in temporary state · 8444cf71
      Thomas Egerer 提交于
      The family parameter xfrm_state_find is used to find a state matching a
      certain policy. This value is set to the template's family
      (encap_family) right before xfrm_state_find is called.
      The family parameter is however also used to construct a temporary state
      in xfrm_state_find itself which is wrong for inter-family scenarios
      because it produces a selector for the wrong family. Since this selector
      is included in the xfrm_user_acquire structure, user space programs
      misinterpret IPv6 addresses as IPv4 and vice versa.
      This patch splits up the original init_tempsel function into a part that
      initializes the selector respectively the props and id of the temporary
      state, to allow for differing ip address families whithin the state.

      compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok() · c41d68a5
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
      access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
      introduce problems on some architectures.
      
      This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
      compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
      The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
      arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
      implementation of the new global function.
      
      This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
      fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
      followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
      for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
      can also be removed.

      dquot: do full inode dirty in allocating space · d530148a
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      Alex Shi found a regression when doing ffsb test. The test has several threads,
      and each thread creates a small file, write to it and then delete it. ffsb
      reports about 20% regression and Alex bisected it to 43d2932d. The test
      will call __mark_inode_dirty 3 times. without this commit, we only take
      inode_lock one time, while with it, we take the lock 3 times with flags (
      I_DIRTY_SYNC,I_DIRTY_PAGES,I_DIRTY). Perf shows the lock contention increased
      too much. Below proposed patch fixes it.
      
      fs is allocating blocks, which usually means file writes and the inode
      will be dirtied soon. We fully dirty the inode to reduce some inode_lock
      contention in several calls of __mark_inode_dirty.
