rbd: fixes in rbd_header_from_disk()
This fixes a few issues in rbd_header_from_disk():
- There is a check intended to catch overflow, but it's wrong in
two ways.
- First, the type we don't want to overflow is size_t, not
unsigned int, and there is now a SIZE_MAX we can use for
use with that type.
- Second, we're allocating the snapshot ids and snapshot
image sizes separately (each has type u64; on disk they
grouped together as a rbd_image_header_ondisk structure).
So we can use the size of u64 in this overflow check.
- If there are no snapshots, then there should be no snapshot
names. Enforce this, and issue a warning if we encounter a
header with no snapshots but a non-zero snap_names_len.
- When saving the snapshot names into the header, be more direct
in defining the offset in the on-disk structure from which
they're being copied by using "snap_count" rather than "i"
in the array index.
- If an error occurs, the "snapc" and "snap_names" fields are
freed at the end of the function. Make those fields be null
pointers after they're freed, to be explicit that they are
no longer valid.
- Finally, move the definition of the local variable "i" to the
innermost scope in which it's needed.

libceph: (re)initialize bio_iter on start of message receive
Previously, we were opportunistically initializing the bio_iter if it
appeared to be uninitialized in the middle of the read path. The problem
is that a sequence like:
- start reading message
- initialize bio_iter
- read half a message
- messenger fault, reconnect
- restart reading message
- ** bio_iter now non-NULL, not reinitialized **
- read past end of bio, crash
Instead, initialize the bio_iter unconditionally when we allocate/claim
the message for read.

libceph: resubmit linger ops when pg mapping changes
The linger op registration (i.e., watch) modifies the object state. As
such, the OSD will reply with success if it has already applied without
doing the associated side-effects (setting up the watch session state).
If we lose the ACK and resubmit, we will see success but the watch will not
be correctly registered and we won't get notifies.
To fix this, always resubmit the linger op with a new tid. We accomplish
this by re-registering as a linger (i.e., 'registered') if we are not yet
registered. Then the second loop will treat this just like a normal
case of re-registering.
This mirrors a similar fix on the userland ceph.git, commit 5dd68b95, and
ceph bug #2796.

resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range
When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which will
overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow.
This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the
(100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff). In
this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as
conflict range (i.e. 0-ffffffff). Then, the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting the
new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this case
equals the originally requested range.
This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does not
intersect with the root range. When the request partially overlaps with
the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range and then
continues with the new request.
When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are
logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.

For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal

compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling

kdump: append newline to the last lien of vmcoreinfo note
The last line of vmcoreinfo note does not end with \n. Parsing all the
lines in note becomes easier if all lines end with \n instead of trying to
special case the last line.
I know at least one tool, vmcore-dmesg in kexec-tools tree which made the
assumption that all lines end with \n. I think it is a good idea to fix
it.
Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return. But error by 1) requires
releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns. Likewise, error
by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and
1).
The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and
free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info,
but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info().
The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized
yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info() are called with them.
For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases
a task_xstate. If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(),
arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just
allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling.
This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh
In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to
call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call
arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed.
Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are
defined as empty by default. So this change only affects the
architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or
arch_release_thread_info() as listed below.

proc: do not allow negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ
__mem_open() which is called by both /proc/<pid>/environ and
/proc/<pid>/mem ->open() handlers will allow the use of negative offsets.
/proc/<pid>/mem has negative offsets but not /proc/<pid>/environ.
Clean this by moving the 'force FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET flag' to mem_open()
to allow negative offsets only on /proc/<pid>/mem.
proc: environ_read() make sure offset points to environment address range
Currently the following offset and environment address range check in
environ_read() of /proc/<pid>/environ is buggy:
int this_len = mm->env_end - (mm->env_start + src);
if (this_len <= 0)
break;
Large or negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ converted to 'unsigned
long' may pass this check since '(mm->env_start + src)' can overflow and
'this_len' will be positive.
This can turn /proc/<pid>/environ to act like /proc/<pid>/mem since
(mm->env_start + src) will point and read from another VMA.
There are two fixes here plus some code cleaning:
1) Fix the overflow by checking if the offset that was converted to
unsigned long will always point to the [mm->env_start, mm->env_end]
address range.
2) Remove the truncation that was made to the result of the check,
storing the result in 'int this_len' will alter its value and we can
not depend on it.
For kernels that have commit b409e578d ("proc: clean up
/proc/<pid>/environ handling") which adds the appropriate ptrace check and
saves the 'mm' at ->open() time, this is not a security issue.
This patch is taken from the grsecurity patch since it was just made
available.

The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggers
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request.
This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at
wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created
with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete()
because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper
thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper
thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in
do_fork()".
The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted
/sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below).
call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from
kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a
module. do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to
request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn
calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC).
In order to avoid deadlock, as a for-now and easy-to-backport solution, do
not try to call wait_for_completion() in call_usermodehelper_exec() if the
worker thread was created by khelper thread with CLONE_VFORK flag. Future
and fundamental solution might be replacing singleton khelper thread with
some workqueue so that recursive calls up to max_active dependency loop
can be handled without deadlock.
