net_hash_mix() currently uses kernel address of a struct net,
and is used in many places that could be used to reveal this
address to a patient attacker, thus defeating KASLR, for
the typical case (initial net namespace, &init_net is
not dynamically allocated)I believe the original implementation tried to avoid spending
too many cycles in this function, but security comes first.Also provide entropy regardless of CONFIG_NET_NS.

Steven Rostedt reports that it causes a hang at bootup and bisected it
to this commit.The troigger is apparently a module alias for "parport_lowlevel" that
points to "parport_pc", which causes a hang withmodprobe -q -- parport_lowlevel

"Due to the new device model daisy driver will now try to find the
parallel ports while trying to register its driver so that it can bind
with them. Now, since daisy driver is loaded while parport bus is
initialising the list of parport is still empty and it tries to load
the lowlevel driver, which has an alias set to parport_pc, now causes
a deadlock"But I don't think the daisy driver should be loaded by the parport
initialization in the first place, so let's revert the whole change.If the daisy driver can just initialize separately on its own (like a
driver should), instead of hooking into the parport init sequence
directly, this issue probably would go away.Reported-and-bisected-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

On machines where the GART aperture is mapped over physical RAM,
/proc/kcore contains the GART aperture range. Accessing the GART range via
/proc/kcore results in a kernel crash.vmcore used to have the same issue, until it was fixed with commit
2a3e83c6f96c ("x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from vmcore")', leveraging
existing hook infrastructure in vmcore to let /proc/vmcore return zeroes
when attempting to read the aperture region, and so it won't read from the
actual memory.Apply the same workaround for kcore. First implement the same hook
infrastructure for kcore, then reuse the hook functions introduced in the
previous vmcore fix. Just with some minor adjustment, rename some functions
for more general usage, and simplify the hook infrastructure a bit as there
is no module usage yet.Suggested-by: Baoquan He

use RCU when accessing the action chain, to avoid use after free in the
traffic path when 'goto chain' is replaced on existing TC actions (see
script below). Since the control action is read in the traffic path
without holding the action spinlock, we need to explicitly ensure that
a->goto_chain is not NULL before dereferencing (i.e it's not sufficient
to rely on the value of TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN bits). Not doing so caused NULL
dereferences in tcf_action_goto_chain_exec() when the following script:# tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \
> ip_proto udp action pass index 4
# tc filter add dev dd0 ingress protocol ip flower \
> ip_proto udp action csum udp goto chain 42 index 66
# tc chain del dev dd0 chain 42 ingress

callers of tcf_gact_goto_chain_index() can potentially read an old value
of the chain index, or even dereference a NULL 'goto_chain' pointer,
because 'goto_chain' and 'tcfa_action' are read in the traffic path
without caring of concurrent write in the control path. The most recent
value of chain index can be read also from a->tcfa_action (it's encoded
there together with TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN bits), so we don't really need to
dereference 'goto_chain': just read the chain id from the control action.Fixes: e457d86ada27 ("net: sched: add couple of goto_chain helpers")

- pass a pointer to struct tcf_proto in each actions's init() handler,
to allow validating the control action, checking whether the chain
exists and (eventually) refcounting it.
- remove code that validates the control action after a successful call
to the action's init() handler, and replace it with a test that forbids
addition of actions having 'goto_chain' and NULL goto_chain pointer at
the same time.
- add tcf_action_check_ctrlact(), that will validate the control action
and eventually allocate the action 'goto_chain' within the init()
handler.
- add tcf_action_set_ctrlact(), that will assign the control action and
swap the current 'goto_chain' pointer with the new given one.This disallows 'goto_chain' on actions that don't initialize it properly
in their init() handler, i.e. calling tcf_action_check_ctrlact() after
successful IDR reservation and then calling tcf_action_set_ctrlact()
to assign 'goto_chain' and 'tcf_action' consistently.By doing this, the kernel does not leak anymore refcounts when a valid
'goto chain' handle is replaced in TC actions, causing kmemleak splats
like the following one:# tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \
> ip_proto tcp action drop
# tc chain add dev dd0 chain 43 ingress protocol ip flower \

Because map updates are distributed lazily, an OSD may not know about
the new blacklist for quite some time after "osd blacklist add" command
is completed. This makes it possible for a blacklisted but still alive
client to overwrite a post-blacklist update, resulting in data
corruption.Waiting for latest osdmap in ceph_monc_blacklist_add() and thus using
the post-blacklist epoch for all post-blacklist requests ensures that
all such requests "wait" for the blacklist to come into force on their

When using fanouts with AF_PACKET, the demux functions such as
fanout_demux_cpu will return an index in the fanout socket array, which
corresponds to the selected socket.The ordering of this array depends on the order the sockets were added
to a given fanout group, so for FANOUT_CPU this means sockets are bound
to cpus in the order they are configured, which is OK.However, when stopping then restarting the interface these sockets are
bound to, the sockets are reassigned to the fanout group in the reverse
order, due to the fact that they were inserted at the head of the
interface's AF_PACKET socket list.This means that traffic that was directed to the first socket in the
fanout group is now directed to the last one after an interface restart.In the case of FANOUT_CPU, traffic from CPU0 will be directed to the
socket that used to receive traffic from the last CPU after an interface
restart.This commit introduces a helper to add a socket at the tail of a list,
then uses it to register AF_PACKET sockets.Note that this changes the order in which sockets are listed in /proc and
with sock_diag.Fixes: dc99f600698d ("packet: Add fanout support")

For ITER_BVEC, if we're holding on to kernel pages, the caller
doesn't need to grab a reference to the bvec pages, and drop that
same reference on IO completion. This is essentially safe for any
ITER_BVEC, but some use cases end up reusing pages and uncondtionally
dropping a page reference on completion. And example of that is
sendfile(2), that ends up being a splice_in + splice_out on the
pipe pages.Add a flag that tells us it's fine to not grab a page reference
to the bvec pages, since that caller knows not to drop a reference
when it's done with the pages.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc//
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.With the ability to use /proc/ fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active

When the umem is cleaned up, the task that created it might already be
gone. If the task was gone, the xdp_umem_release function did not free
the pages member of struct xdp_umem.It turned out that the task lookup was not needed at all; The code was
a left-over when we moved from task accounting to user accounting [1].This patch fixes the memory leak by removing the task lookup logic
completely.[1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20180131135356.19134-3-bjorn.topel@gmail.com/
