Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

When dlm_release_lockspace(ls, 1) is invoked on a busy system
immediately after the last dlm_unlock() AST has finished it can occur
that lkb_idr_is_local() is invoked for the unlocked LKB since removal
from ls_lkbidr only occurs after the AST has returned. If that happens
dlm_release_lockspace(ls, 1) will return -EBUSY instead of releasing
the lockspace. Fix this race condition by changing lkb_idr_is_local()

Currently if a SCTP send fails, we lose the data we were trying
to send because the writequeue_entry is released when we do the send.
When this happens other nodes will then hang waiting for a reply.This adds support for SCTP to retry the send operation.
I also removed the retry limit for SCTP use, because we want
to make sure we try every path during init time and for longer
failures we want to continually retry in case paths come back up
while trying other paths. We will do this until userspace tells us
to stop.Signed-off-by: Mike Christie

This patch introduces an UAPI header for the SCTP protocol,
so that we can facilitate the maintenance and development of
user land applications or libraries, in particular in terms
of header synchronization.To not break compatibility, some fragments from lksctp-tools'
netinet/sctp.h have been carefully included, while taking care
that neither kernel nor user land breaks, so both compile fine
with this change (for lksctp-tools I tested with the old
netinet/sctp.h header and with a newly adapted one that includes
the uapi sctp header). lksctp-tools smoke test run through
successfully as well in both cases.Suggested-by: Neil Horman

When the kernel clears flocks/plocks during close, it calls posix
unlock when there are flocks but no posix locks. Without this
patch, that unnecessary posix unlock is passed to userland
(dlm_controld), across the cluster, and back to the kernel.
This can create a lot of plock activity, even when no posix
locks had been used.This patch copies the nfs approach, and skips the full posix
unlock if there is no plock found during the vfs unlock phase.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

When a node is removed that held a PW/EX lock, the
existing master node should invalidate the lvb on the
resource due to the purged lock.Previously, the existing master node was invalidating
the lvb if it found only NL/CR locks on the resource
during recovery for the removed node. This could lead
to cases where it invalidated the lvb and shouldn't
have, or cases where it should have invalidated and
didn't.When recovery selects a *new* master node for a
resource, and that new master finds only NL/CR locks
on the resource after lock recovery, it should
invalidate the lvb. This case was handled correctly
(but was incorrectly applied to the existing master
case also.)When a process exits while holding a PW/EX lock,
the lvb on the resource should be invalidated.
This was not happening.The lvb contents and VALNOTVALID flag should be
recovered before granting locks in recovery so that
the recovered lvb state is provided in the callback.
The lvb was being recovered after the lock was granted.Signed-off-by: David Teigland

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

device_write only checks whether the request size is big enough, but it doesn't
check if the size is too big.At that point, it also tries to allocate as much memory as the user has requested
even if it's too much. This can lead to OOM killer kicking in, or memory corruption
if (count + 1) overflows.Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
