2011-06-01AppArmor: fix oops in apparmor_setprocattrKees Cook
When invalid parameters are passed to apparmor_setprocattr a NULL deref oops occurs when it tries to record an audit message. This is because it is passing NULL for the profile parameter for aa_audit. But aa_audit now requires that the profile passed is not NULL. Fix this by passing the current profile on the task that is trying to setprocattr.

2011-05-31ip_options_compile: properly handle unaligned pointerChris Metcalf
The current code takes an unaligned pointer and does htonl() on it to make it big-endian, then does a memcpy(). The problem is that the compiler decides that since the pointer is to a __be32, it is legal to optimize the copy into a processor word store. However, on an architecture that does not handled unaligned writes in kernel space, this produces an unaligned exception fault. The solution is to track the pointer as a "char *" (which removes a bunch of unpleasant casts in any case), and then just use put_unaligned_be32() to write the value to memory.

Problem here is that usb_bulk_msg() on interrupt endpoint selfcorrects the call and changes requested pipe to interrupt type (see usb_bulk_msg). However with usb_interrupt_msg() on bulk endpoint does not correct the pipe type to bulk, but instead URB is submitted with interrupt type pipe. So pre-2.6.39 used usb_bulk_msg() and therefore worked with both endpoint types, however in 2.6.39 usb_interrupt_msg() with bulk endpoint causes ohci_hcd to fail submitted URB instantly with -ENOSPC and preventing zd1211rw from working with OHCI. Fix this by detecting endpoint type and using correct endpoint/pipe types for URB. Also fix asynchronous zd_usb_iowrite16v_async() to use right URB type on 'EP 4 OUT'.

2011-05-31wl12xx: fix oops in sched_scan when forcing a passive scanLuciano Coelho
Fix kernel oops when trying to use passive scheduled scans. The reason was that in passive scans there are no SSIDs, so there was a NULL pointer dereference. To solve the problem, we now check the number of SSIDs provided in the sched_scan request and only access the list if there's one or more (ie. passive scan is not forced). We also force all the channels to be passive by adding the IEEE80211_CHAN_PASSIVE_SCAN flag locally before the checks in the wl1271_scan_get_sched_scan_channels() function.

2011-05-31wl12xx: add separate config value for DFS dwell time on sched scanLuciano Coelho
Use a different value for DFS dwell time when performing a scheduled scan. Previously we were using the same value as for normal passive scans.

2011-05-31wl12xx: fix DFS channels handling in scheduled scanLuciano Coelho
DFS channels were never getting included in the scheduled scans, because they always contain the passive flag as well and the call was asking for DFS and active channels. Fix this by ignoring the passive flag when collecting DFS channels. Also, move the DFS channels in the channel list before the 5GHz active channels (this was implemented in the FW differently than specified).

2011-05-31libertas: Set command sequence number later to ensure consistencyDaniel Drake
Before this patch, the command sequence number is being set before lbs_queue_cmd() adds the command to the queue. However, lbs_queue_cmd() sometimes forces commands to queue-jump (e.g. CMD_802_11_WAKEUP_CONFIRM). It currently does this without considering that sequence numbers might need adjusting to keep things running in order. Fix this by setting the sequence number at a later stage, just before we're actually submitting the command to the hardware. Also fixes a possible race where seqnum was being modified outside of the driver lock. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Acked-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-05-31rcu: Cure load woesPeter Zijlstra
Commit cc3ce5176d83 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation. The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung task detector due to on-demand wake-ups. Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE wait state. [ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ] Reported-by: Damien Wyart <damien.wyart@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul E.

There is a fundamental ordering race between the early and late probe paths and the runtime PM tie-in that results in __pm_runtime_resume() attempting to take a lock that hasn't been initialized yet (which by proxy also suggests that pm_runtime_init() hasn't yet been run on the device either, making the entire thing unsafe) -- resulting in instant death on SMP or on UP with spinlock debugging enabled: sh_tmu.0: used for clock events sh_tmu.0: used for periodic clock events BUG: spinlock trylock failure on UP on CPU#0, swapper/0 lock: 804db198, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0 ...

2011-05-30virtio balloon: kill tell-host-first logicDave Hansen
The virtio balloon driver has a VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST feature bit. Whenever the bit is set, the guest kernel must always tell the host before we free pages back to the allocator. Without this feature, we might free a page (and have another user touch it) while the hypervisor is unprepared for it. But, if the bit is _not_ set, we are under no obligation to reverse the order; we're under no obligation to do _anything_. As of now, qemu-kvm defines the bit, but doesn't set it. This patch makes the "tell host first" logic the only case. This should make everybody happy, and reduce the amount of untested or untestable code in the kernel. This _also_ means that we don't have to preserve a pfn list after the pages are freed, which should let us get rid of some temporary storage (vb->pfns) eventually.

2011-05-30virtio_blk: allow re-reading config space at runtimeChristoph Hellwig
Wire up the virtio_driver config_changed method to get notified about config changes raised by the host. For now we just re-read the device size to support online resizing of devices, but once we add more attributes that might be changeable they could be added as well. Note that the config_changed method is called from irq context, so we'll have to use the workqueue infrastructure to provide us a proper user context for our changes.
