      audit: fix auditd/kernel connection state tracking · 5b52330b
      Paul Moore 提交于
      What started as a rather straightforward race condition reported by
      Dmitry using the syzkaller fuzzer ended up revealing some major
      problems with how the audit subsystem managed its netlink sockets and
      its connection with the userspace audit daemon.  Fixing this properly
      had quite the cascading effect and what we are left with is this rather
      large and complicated patch.  My initial goal was to try and decompose
      this patch into multiple smaller patches, but the way these changes
      are intertwined makes it difficult to split these changes into
      meaningful pieces that don't break or somehow make things worse for
      the intermediate states.
      
      The patch makes a number of changes, but the most significant are
      highlighted below:
      
      * The auditd tracking variables, e.g. audit_sock, are now gone and
      replaced by a RCU/spin_lock protected variable auditd_conn which is
      a structure containing all of the auditd tracking information.
      
      * We no longer track the auditd sock directly, instead we track it
      via the network namespace in which it resides and we use the audit
      socket associated with that namespace.  In spirit, this is what the
      code was trying to do prior to this patch (at least I think that is
      what the original authors intended), but it was done rather poorly
      and added a layer of obfuscation that only masked the underlying
      problems.
      
      * Big backlog queue cleanup, again.  In v4.10 we made some pretty big
      changes to how the audit backlog queues work, here we haven't changed
      the queue design so much as cleaned up the implementation.  Brought
      about by the locking changes, we've simplified kauditd_thread() quite
      a bit by consolidating the queue handling into a new helper function,
      kauditd_send_queue(), which allows us to eliminate a lot of very
      similar code and makes the looping logic in kauditd_thread() clearer.
      
      * All netlink messages sent to auditd are now sent via
      auditd_send_unicast_skb().  Other than just making sense, this makes
      the lock handling easier.
      
      * Change the audit_log_start() sleep behavior so that we never sleep
      on auditd events (unchanged) or if the caller is holding the
      audit_cmd_mutex (changed).  Previously we didn't sleep if the caller
      was auditd or if the message type fell between a certain range; the
      type check was a poor effort of doing what the cmd_mutex check now
      does.  Richard Guy Briggs originally proposed not sleeping the
      cmd_mutex owner several years ago but his patch wasn't acceptable
      at the time.  At least the idea lives on here.
      
      * A problem with the lost record counter has been resolved.  Steve
      Grubb and I both happened to notice this problem and according to
      some quick testing by Steve, this problem goes back quite some time.
      It's largely a harmless problem, although it may have left some
      careful sysadmins quite puzzled.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.

       "The device-dax driver was not being careful to handle falling back to

        The driver already fails fault attempts that are smaller than the
        device's alignment, but it also needs to handle the cases where a
        larger page mapping could be established. For simplicity of the
        immediate fix the implementation just signals VM_FAULT_FALLBACK until
        fault-size == device-alignment.
      
        One fix is for -stable to address pmd-to-pte fallback from the
        original implementation, another fix is for the new (introduced in
        4.11-rc1) pud-to-pmd regression, and a typo fix comes along for the
