[PATCH 1/2] drm/xe: Silence allocation warnings for sync arrays

by Shuicheng Lin

args->num_syncs comes from userspace and may be large or fuzzed. When kcalloc() attempts a large allocation, the allocator may emit warning like below, even though the driver already returns -ENOMEM safely. Suppress it by using __GFP_NOWARN when allocating the sync array. " WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1217 at mm/page_alloc.c:5124 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0x2f8/0x2180 mm/page_alloc.c:5124 ...

It checks whether LBRV enablement needs to be changed in the current VMCB, and if it does, it also recalculate intercepts to LBR MSRs. However, there are cases where intercepts need to be updated even when LBRV enablement doesn't. Example scenario: - L1 has MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR cleared. - L1 runs L2 without LBR_CTL_ENABLE (no LBRV). - L2 sets DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR, svm_update_lbrv() sets LBR_CTL_ENABLE in VMCB02 and disables intercepts to LBR MSRs. - L2 exits to L1, svm_update_lbrv() is not called on this transition. - L1 clears MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR, svm_update_lbrv() finds that LBR_CTL_ENABLE is already cleared in VMCB01 and does nothing. - Intercepts remain disabled, L1 reads to LBR MSRs read the host MSRs. Fix it by always recalculating intercepts in svm_update_lbrv().

[for-next][PATCH 04/16] rtla/timerlat_bpf: Stop tracing on user latency

by Steven Rostedt

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar(a)redhat.com> rtla-timerlat allows a *thread* latency threshold to be set via the -T/--thread option. However, the timerlat tracer calls this *total* latency (stop_tracing_total_us), and stops tracing also when the return-to-user latency is over the threshold. Change the behavior of the timerlat BPF program to reflect what the timerlat tracer is doing, to avoid discrepancy between stopping collecting data in the BPF program and stopping tracing in the timerlat tracer.

[PATCH] x86/mce: Handle AMD threshold interrupt storms

by Avadhut Naik

From: Smita Koralahalli <Smita.KoralahalliChannabasappa(a)amd.com> Extend the logic of handling CMCI storms to AMD threshold interrupts. Rely on the similar approach as of Intel's CMCI to mitigate storms per CPU and per bank. But, unlike CMCI, do not set thresholds and reduce interrupt rate on a storm. Rather, disable the interrupt on the corresponding CPU and bank. Re-enable back the interrupts if enough consecutive polls of the bank show no corrected errors (30, as programmed by Intel). Turning off the threshold interrupts would be a better solution on AMD systems as other error severities will still be handled even if the threshold interrupts are disabled. Also, AMD systems currently allow banks to be managed by both polling and interrupts. So don't modify the polling banks set after a storm ends. [Tony: Small tweak because mce_handle_storm() isn't a pointer now] [Yazen: Rebase and simplify] Stable backport notes: 1. Currently, when a Machine check interrupt storm is detected, the bank's corresponding bit in mce_poll_banks per-CPU variable is cleared by cmci_storm_end(). As a result, on AMD's SMCA systems, errors injected or encountered after the storm subsides are not logged since polling on that bank has been disabled. Polling banks set on AMD systems should not be modified when a storm subsides. 2. This patch is a snippet from the CMCI storm handling patch (link below) that has been accepted into tip for v6.19. While backporting the patch would have been the preferred way, the same cannot be undertaken since its part of a larger set. As such, this fix will be temporary. When the original patch and its set is integrated into stable, this patch should be reverted.

[PATCH v1 0/2] mm: skip wait in wait_sb_inodes() for hangable-writeback mappings

by Joanne Koong

As reported by Athul upstream in [1], there is a userspace regression caused by commit 0c58a97f919c ("fuse: remove tmp folio for writebacks and internal rb tree") where if there is a bug in a fuse server that causes the server to never complete writeback, it will make wait_sb_inodes() wait forever, causing sync paths to hang. This is a resubmission of this patch [2] that was dropped from the original series due to a buggy/malicious server still being able to hold up sync() / the system in other ways if they wanted to, but the wait_sb_inodes() path is particularly common and easier to hit for malfunctioning servers.

We found an uaf issue while using stress-ng testing, need to run testcase getdent and tun in the same time. The steps of the issue is as follows: 1) use getdent to traverse dir /proc/pid/net/dev_snmp6/, and current pde is tun3; 2) in the [time windows] unregister netdevice tun3 and tun2, and erase them from rbtree. erase tun3 first, and then erase tun2. the pde(tun2) will be released to slab; 3) continue to getdent process, then pde_subdir_next() will return pde(tun2) which is released, it will case uaf access.

Scenario causing lack of proper cleanup: 1) A netpoll is associated with a NIC (e.g., eth0) and netdev->npinfo is allocated, and refcnt = 1 - Keep in mind that npinfo is shared among all netpoll instances. In this case, there is just one. 2) Another netpoll is also associated with the same NIC and npinfo->refcnt += 1. - Now dev->npinfo->refcnt = 2; - There is just one npinfo associated to the netdev. 3) When the first netpolls goes to clean up: - The first cleanup succeeds and clears np->dev->npinfo, ignoring refcnt. - It basically calls `RCU_INIT_POINTER(np->dev->npinfo, NULL);` - Set dev->npinfo = NULL, without proper cleanup - No ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is either called 4) Now the second target tries to clean up - The second cleanup fails because np->dev->npinfo is already NULL. * In this case, ops->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() was never called, and the skb pool is not cleaned as well (for the second netpoll instance) - This leaks npinfo and skbpool skbs, which is clearly reported by kmemleak. Revert commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") and adds clarifying comments emphasizing that npinfo cleanup should only happen once the refcount reaches zero, ensuring stable and correct netpoll behavior.

Scan all pages in a to-be-split folio to determine which after-split folios need the flag. An alternatives is to change PG_has_hwpoisoned to PG_maybe_hwpoisoned to avoid the scan and set it on all after-split folios, but resulting false positive has undesirable negative impact. To remove false positive, caller of folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() and folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() needs to do the scan. That might be causing a hassle for current and future callers and more costly than doing the scan in the split code. More details are discussed in [1]. This issue can be exposed via: 1. splitting a has_hwpoisoned folio to >0 order from debugfs interface; 2. truncating part of a has_hwpoisoned folio in truncate_inode_partial_folio(). And later accesses to a hwpoisoned page could be possible due to the missing has_hwpoisoned folio flag. This will lead to MCE errors.
