2011-03-18ethtool: Compat handling for struct ethtool_rxnfcBen Hutchings
This structure was accidentally defined such that its layout can differ between 32-bit and 64-bit processes. Add compat structure definitions and an ioctl wrapper function.

struct aunhdr has 4 padding bytes between 'pad' and 'handle' fields on x86_64. These bytes are not initialized in the variable 'ah' before sending 'ah' to the network. This leads to 4 bytes kernel stack infoleak. This bug was introduced before the git epoch.

2011-03-17RPC: killing RPC tasks races fixedStanislav Kinsbursky
RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to NULL). Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking tk_waitqueue to NULL) allows us to "optimise away the call to rpc_wake_up_queued_task() altogether for those tasks that aren't queued". Here is an example of dereferencing of tk_waitqueue equal to NULL: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 -------------------- --------------------- -------------------------- nfs4_run_open_task rpc_run_task rpc_execute rpc_set_active rpc_make_runnable (waiting) rpc_async_schedule nfs4_open_prepare nfs_wait_on_sequence nfs_umount_begin rpc_killall_tasks rpc_wake_up_task rpc_wake_up_queued_task spin_lock(tk_waitqueue == NULL) BUG() rpc_sleep_on spin_lock(&q->lock) __rpc_sleep_on task->tk_waitqueue = q Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@openvz.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER (1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0) This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop probabilities.

2011-03-15[net/9p] Small non-IO PDUs for zero-copy supporting transports.Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
If a transport prefers payload to be sent separate from the PDU (P9_TRANS_PREF_PAYLOAD_SEP), there is no need to allocate msize PDU buffers(struct p9_fcall). This patch allocates only upto 4k buffers for this kind of transports and there won't be any change to the legacy transports. Hence, this patch on top of zero copy changes allows user to specify higher msizes through the mount option without hogging the kernel heap.

2011-03-15[net/9p] Handle Zero Copy TREAD/RERROR case in !dotl case.Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
This takes care of copying out error buffers from user buffer payloads when we are using zero copy. This happens because the only payload buffer the server has to respond to the request is the user buffer given for the zero copy read. Because we only use zerocopy when the amount of data to transfer is greater than a certain size (currently 4K) and error strings are limited to ERRMAX (currently 128) we don't need to worry about there being sufficient space for the error to fit in the payload.

Structures ip6t_replace, compat_ip6t_replace, and xt_get_revision are copied from userspace. Fields of these structs that are zero-terminated strings are not checked. When they are used as argument to a format string containing "%s" in request_module(), some sensitive information is leaked to userspace via argument of spawned modprobe process. The first bug was introduced before the git epoch; the second was introduced in 3bc3fe5e (v2.6.25-rc1); the third is introduced by 6b7d31fc (v2.6.15-rc1). To trigger the bug one should have CAP_NET_ADMIN. Signed-off-by: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
