In __alloc_pages_slowpath() we reset zonelist and preferred_zoneref for
allocations that can ignore memory policies. The zonelist is obtained
from current CPU's node. This is a problem for __GFP_THISNODE
allocations that want to allocate on a different node, e.g. because the
allocating thread has been migrated to a different CPU.
This has been observed to break SLAB in our 4.4-based kernel, because
there it relies on __GFP_THISNODE working as intended. If a slab page
is put on wrong node's list, then further list manipulations may corrupt
the list because page_to_nid() is used to determine which node's
list_lock should be locked and thus we may take a wrong lock and race.
Current SLAB implementation seems to be immune by luck thanks to commit
511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on
arbitrary node") but there may be others assuming that __GFP_THISNODE
works as promised.
We can fix it by simply removing the zonelist reset completely. There
is actually no reason to reset it, because memory policies and cpusets
don't affect the zonelist choice in the first place. This was different
when commit 183f6371aac2 ("mm: ignore mempolicies when using
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK") introduced the code, as mempolicies provided their
own restricted zonelists.
We might consider this for 4.17 although I don't know if there's
anything currently broken.
SLAB is currently not affected, but in kernels older than 4.7 that don't
yet have 511e3a058812 ("mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page
allocated on arbitrary node") it is. That's at least 4.4 LTS. Older
ones I'll have to check.
So stable backports should be more important, but will have to be
reviewed carefully, as the code went through many changes. BTW I think
that also the ac->preferred_zoneref reset is currently useless if we
don't also reset ac->nodemask from a mempolicy to NULL first (which we
probably should for the OOM victims etc?), but I would leave that for a
separate patch.
WHen registering a new binfmt_misc handler, it is possible to overflow
the offset to get a negative value, which might crash the system, or
possibly leak kernel data.
Here is a crash log when 2500000000 was used as an offset:
Use kstrtoint instead of simple_strtoul. It will work as the code
already set the delimiter byte to '\0' and we only do it when the field
is not empty.
Tested with offsets -1, 2500000000, UINT_MAX and INT_MAX. Also tested
with examples documented at Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst
and other registrations from packages on Ubuntu.

struct vhost_msg within struct vhost_msg_node is copied to userspace.
Unfortunately it turns out on 64 bit systems vhost_msg has padding after
type which gcc doesn't initialize, leaking 4 uninitialized bytes to
userspace.
This padding also unfortunately means 32 bit users of this interface are
broken on a 64 bit kernel which will need to be fixed separately.

The HID descriptor for the 2nd-gen Intuos Pro large (PTH-860) contains
a typo which defines an incorrect logical maximum Y value. This causes
a small portion of the bottom of the tablet to become unusable (both
because the area is below the "bottom" of the tablet and because
'wacom_wac_event' ignores out-of-range values). It also results in a
skewed aspect ratio.
To fix this, we add a quirk to 'wacom_usage_mapping' which overwrites
the data with the correct value.
Current ISH driver only registers suspend/resume PM callbacks which don't
support hibernation (suspend to disk). Basically after hiberation, the ISH
can't resume properly and user may not see sensor events (for example: screen
rotation may not work).
User will not see a crash or panic or anything except the following message
in log:
hid-sensor-hub 001F:8086:22D8.0001: timeout waiting for response from ISHTP device
So this patch adds support for S4/hiberbation to ISH by using the
SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() MACRO instead of struct dev_pm_ops directly. The suspend
and resume functions will now be used for both suspend to RAM and hibernation.
If power management is disabled, SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS will do nothing, the suspend
and resume related functions won't be used, so mark them as __maybe_unused to
clarify that this is the intended behavior, and remove #ifdefs for power
management.
As long as a symlink inode remains in-core, the destination (and
therefore size) will not be re-fetched from the server, as it cannot
change. The original implementation of the attribute cache assumed that
setting the expiry time in the past was sufficient to cause a re-fetch
of all attributes on the next getattr. That does not work in this case.
The bug manifested itself as follows. When the command sequence
The page loading code trusts the data provided in the firmware images
a bit too much and may cause a buffer overflow or copy unknown data if
the block sizes don't match what we expect.
To prevent potential problems, harden the code by checking if the
sizes we are copying are what we expect.
