         */
        static inline int nla_ok(const struct nlattr *nla, int remaining)
        {
                return remaining >= sizeof(*nla) &&
                       nla->nla_len >= sizeof(*nla) &&
                       nla->nla_len <= remaining;
        }
      
      It turns out that remaining can become negative due to alignment in
      nla_next(). But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test
      against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the
      nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer.
      
      A short example illustrating this point is here:
      
        #include <stdio.h>
      
        main(void)
        {
                printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int));
        }
      
      ...which prints "1".
      
      This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make
      a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the
      patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report.

      [Bluetooth] Fix regression from using default link policy · 7c6a329e
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      To speed up the Simple Pairing connection setup, the support for the
      default link policy has been enabled. This is in contrast to settings
      the link policy on every connection setup. Using the default link policy
      is the preferred way since there is no need to dynamically change it for
      every connection.
      
      For backward compatibility reason and to support old userspace the
      HCISETLINKPOL ioctl has been switched over to using hci_request() to
      issue the HCI command for setting the default link policy instead of
      just storing it in the HCI device structure.
      
      However the hci_request() can only be issued when the device is
      brought up. If used on a device that is registered, but still down
      it will timeout and fail. This is problematic since the command is
      put on the TX queue and the Bluetooth core tries to submit it to
      hardware that is not ready yet. The timeout for these requests is
      10 seconds and this causes a significant regression when setting up
      a new device.
      
      The userspace can perfectly handle a failure of the HCISETLINKPOL
      ioctl and will re-submit it later, but the 10 seconds delay causes
      a problem. So in case hci_request() is called on a device that is
      still down, just fail it with ENETDOWN to indicate what happens.

      [Bluetooth] Reject L2CAP connections on an insecure ACL link · e7c29cb1
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      The Security Mode 4 of the Bluetooth 2.1 specification has strict
      authentication and encryption requirements. It is the initiators job
      to create a secure ACL link. However in case of malicious devices, the
      acceptor has to make sure that the ACL is encrypted before allowing
      any kind of L2CAP connection. The only exception here is the PSM 1 for
      the service discovery protocol, because that is allowed to run on an
      insecure ACL link.
      
      Previously it was enough to reject a L2CAP connection during the
      connection setup phase, but with Bluetooth 2.1 it is forbidden to
      do any L2CAP protocol exchange on an insecure link (except SDP).
      
      The new hci_conn_check_link_mode() function can be used to check the
      integrity of an ACL link. This functions also takes care of the cases
      where Security Mode 4 is disabled or one of the devices is based on
      an older specification.

      [Bluetooth] Enforce correct authentication requirements · 09ab6f4c
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      With the introduction of Security Mode 4 and Simple Pairing from the
      Bluetooth 2.1 specification it became mandatory that the initiator
      requires authentication and encryption before any L2CAP channel can
      be established. The only exception here is PSM 1 for the service
      discovery protocol (SDP). It is meant to be used without any encryption
      since it contains only public information. This is how Bluetooth 2.0
      and before handle connections on PSM 1.
      
      For Bluetooth 2.1 devices the pairing procedure differentiates between
      no bonding, general bonding and dedicated bonding. The L2CAP layer
      wrongly uses always general bonding when creating new connections, but it
      should not do this for SDP connections. In this case the authentication
      requirement should be no bonding and the just-works model should be used,
      but in case of non-SDP connection it is required to use general bonding.
      
      If the new connection requires man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection, it
      also first wrongly creates an unauthenticated link key and then later on
      requests an upgrade to an authenticated link key to provide full MITM
      protection. With Simple Pairing the link key generation is an expensive
      operation (compared to Bluetooth 2.0 and before) and doing this twice
      during a connection setup causes a noticeable delay when establishing
      a new connection. This should be avoided to not regress from the expected
      Bluetooth 2.0 connection times. The authentication requirements are known
      up-front and so enforce them.
      
      To fulfill these requirements the hci_connect() function has been extended
      with an authentication requirement parameter that will be stored inside
      the connection information and can be retrieved by userspace at any
      time. This allows the correct IO capabilities exchange and results in
      the expected behavior.

      [Bluetooth] Fix reference counting during ACL config stage · f1c08ca5
      Marcel Holtmann 提交于
      The ACL config stage keeps holding a reference count on incoming
      connections when requesting the extended features. This results in
      keeping an ACL link up without any users. The problem here is that
      the Bluetooth specification doesn't define an ownership of the ACL
      link and thus it can happen that the implementation on the initiator
      side doesn't care about disconnecting unused links. In this case the
      acceptor needs to take care of this.

      NFS: Restore missing hunk in NFS mount option parser · af904dea
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Automounter maps can contain mount options valid for other NFS
      implementations but not for Linux.  The Linux automounter uses the
      mount command's "-s" command line option ("s" for "sloppy") so that
      mount requests containing such options are not rejected.
      
      Commit f45663ce attempted to address a
      known regression with text-based NFS mount option parsing.  Unrecognized
      mount options would cause mount requests to fail, even if the "-s"
      option was used on the mount command line.
      
      Unfortunately, this commit was not complete as submitted.  It adds a
      new mount option, "sloppy".  But it is missing a hunk, so it now allows
      NFS mounts with unrecognized mount options, even if the "sloppy" option
      is not present.  This could be a problem if a required critical mount
      option such as "sync" is misspelled, for example, and is considered a
      regression from 2.6.26.
      
      This patch restores the missing hunk.  Now, the default behavior of
      text-based NFS mount options is as before: any unrecognized mount option
      will cause the mount to fail.
      
      Please include this in 2.6.27-rc.

      bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zero · 8d4698f7

      Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume
      between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per
      second.
      
      He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com:
      
      	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2
      
      and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface.
      In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts
      are specifying a hello timer interval of "0".
      
      The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1
      second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

      This patch provides a function to purge all timewait sockets related
      to a network namespace. The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with
      the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while
      the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to
      receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is
      freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets
      from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer
      on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead
      to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to 
      the namespace like for example in:
      	inet_twdr_do_twkill_work
      		-> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED);
      
      Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will:
       1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace
       2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction

      libata-sff: kill spurious WARN_ON() in ata_hsm_move() · 9c2676b6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      On HSM_ST_ERR, ata_hsm_move() triggers WARN_ON() if AC_ERR_DEV or
      AC_ERR_HSM is not set.  PHY events may trigger HSM_ST_ERR with other
      error codes and, with or without it, there just isn't much reason to
      do WARN_ON() on it.  Even if error code is not set there, core EH
      logic won't have any problem dealing with the error condition.

      sata_nv: disable hardreset for generic · 2fd673ec
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      of them being unifying probing, hotplug and EH reset paths uniform.
      Previously, broken hardreset could go unnoticed as it wasn't used
      during probing but when something goes wrong or after hotplug the
      problem will surface and bite hard.
      
      OSDL bug 11195 reports that sata_nv generic flavor falls into this
      category.  Hardreset itself succeeds but PHY stays offline after
      hardreset.  I tried longer debounce timing but the result was the
      same.
      
        http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11195
      
      So, it seems we'll have to drop hardreset from the generic flavor.

      ahci, pata_marvell: play nicely together · 5b66c829
      Alan Cox 提交于
      I've been chasing Jeff about this for months.  Jeff added the Marvell
      device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
      handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
      kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.
      
      This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
      for the 6145!!!
      
      This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
      to Jeff about this are ignored also.
      
      To quote Jeff in email
      
      > "Just switch the order of 'ahci' and 'pata_marvell' in
      > /etc/modprobe.conf, then use Fedora's tools regenerate the initrd.
      
      > See?  It's not rocket science, and the current configuration can be
      > easily made to work for Fedora users."
      
      (Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
      breaks at install time is in fact impossible)
      
      To quote Jeff in August 2007
      
      > "   mv-ahci-pata
      > Marvell 6121/6141 PATA support.  Needs fixing in the 'PATA controller
      > command' area before it is usable, and can go upstream."
      
      Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
      id in March causing more regresions.
      
      The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
      the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
      for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
      faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
      a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
      smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.
