  • Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against
    revectoring user-triggerable function pointers.

    This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch
    because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.

  • Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
    pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
    of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage
    should instead be used as a basis here.

    Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory)
    should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

  • In cache_defer_req, 'dreq' is used for two significantly different
    values that happen to be of the same type.

    This is both confusing, and makes it hard to extend the range of one of
    the values as we will in the next patch.
    So introduce 'discard' to take one of the values.

  • iucv_sock_recvmsg() and iucv_process_message()/iucv_fragment_skb race
    for dequeuing an skb from the backlog queue.

    If iucv_sock_recvmsg() dequeues first, iucv_process_message() calls
    sock_queue_rcv_skb() with an skb that is NULL.

    This results in the following kernel panic:

  • For non-accepted sockets on the accept queue, iucv_sock_kill()
    is called twice (in iucv_sock_close() and iucv_sock_cleanup_listen()).
    This typically results in a kernel oops as shown below.

    Remove the duplicate call to iucv_sock_kill() and set the SOCK_ZAPPED
    flag in iucv_sock_close() only.

    The iucv_sock_kill() function frees a socket only if the socket is zapped
    and orphaned (sk->sk_socket == NULL):
    - Non-accepted sockets are always orphaned and, thus, iucv_sock_kill()
    frees the socket twice.
    - For accepted sockets or sockets created with iucv_sock_create(),
    sk->sk_socket is initialized. This caused the first call to
    iucv_sock_kill() to return immediately. To free these sockets,
    iucv_sock_release() uses sock_orphan() before calling iucv_sock_kill().

  • Prior to calling IUCV functions, the DECLARE BUFFER function must have been
    called for at least one CPU to receive IUCV interrupts.

    With commit "iucv: establish reboot notifier" (6c005961), a check has been
    introduced to avoid calling IUCV functions if the current CPU does not have
    an interrupt buffer declared.
    Because one interrupt buffer is sufficient, change the condition to ensure
    that one interrupt buffer is available.

    In addition, checking the buffer on the current CPU creates a race with
    CPU up/down notifications: before checking the buffer, the IUCV function
    might be interrupted by an smp_call_function() that retrieves the interrupt
    buffer for the current CPU.
    When the IUCV function continues, the check fails and -EIO is returned. If a
    buffer is available on any other CPU, the IUCV function call must be invoked
    (instead of failing with -EIO).

  • The contention window is supposed to be a power of two minus one, i.e.
    15, 31, 63, 127... minstrel_rate_init() forgets to subtract 1, so the
    sequence becomes 15, 32, 66, 134...

  • I have recently came across a preemption imbalance detected by:

    huh, entered ffffffff80644630 with preempt_count 00000102, exited with 00000101?
    ------------[ cut here ]------------
    kernel BUG at /usr/src/linux/kernel/timer.c:664!
    invalid opcode: 0000 [1] PREEMPT SMP

    with ffffffff80644630 being inet_twdr_hangman().

    This appeared after I enabled CONFIG_TCP_MD5SIG and played with it a
    bit, so I looked at what might have caused it.

    One thing that struck me as strange is tcp_twsk_destructor(), as it
    calls tcp_put_md5sig_pool() -- which entails a put_cpu(), causing the
    detected imbalance. Found on 2.6.23.9, but 2.6.31 is affected as well,
    as far as I can tell.

  • If qdisc_get_stab returns error in qdisc_create there is skipped qdisc
    ops->destroy, which is necessary because it's after ops->init at the
    moment, so memory leaks are quite probable.

  • Otherwise, the upcall is going to be synchronous, which may not be what the
    caller wants...

  • Let attribute group vectors be declared "const". We'd
    like to let most attribute metadata live in read-only
    sections... this is a start.
