Subject: ext4: add missing error check in __ext4_new_inode()
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso(a)mit.edu>
commit 996fc4477a0ea28226b30d175f053fb6f9a4fa36 upstream.
It's possible for ext4_get_acl() to return an ERR_PTR. So we need to
add a check for this case in __ext4_new_inode(). Otherwise on an
error we can end up oops the kernel.
This was getting triggered by xfstests generic/388, which is a test
which exercises the shutdown code path.

Trying to read the MAC address from an eeprom that has an offset that
is not a multiple of 4 causes an error currently.
Fix it by changing the nvmem stride to 1.

Subject: dmaengine: dmatest: move callback wait queue to thread context
From: Adam Wallis <awallis(a)codeaurora.org>
commit 6f6a23a213be51728502b88741ba6a10cda2441d upstream.
Commit adfa543e7314 ("dmatest: don't use set_freezable_with_signal()")
introduced a bug (that is in fact documented by the patch commit text)
that leaves behind a dangling pointer. Since the done_wait structure is
allocated on the stack, future invocations to the DMATEST can produce
undesirable results (e.g., corrupted spinlocks).
Commit a9df21e34b42 ("dmaengine: dmatest: warn user when dma test times
out") attempted to WARN the user that the stack was likely corrupted but
did not fix the actual issue.
This patch fixes the issue by pushing the wait queue and callback
structs into the the thread structure. If a failure occurs due to time,
dmaengine_terminate_all will force the callback to safely call
wake_up_all() without possibility of using a freed pointer.
Bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197605

Subject: arm64: mm: Fix pte_mkclean, pte_mkdirty semantics
From: Steve Capper <steve.capper(a)arm.com>
commit 8781bcbc5e69d7da69e84c7044ca0284848d5d01 upstream.
On systems with hardware dirty bit management, the ltp madvise09 unit
test fails due to dirty bit information being lost and pages being
incorrectly freed.
This was bisected to:
arm64: Ignore hardware dirty bit updates in ptep_set_wrprotect()
Reverting this commit leads to a separate problem, that the unit test
retains pages that should have been dropped due to the function
madvise_free_pte_range(.) not cleaning pte's properly.
Currently pte_mkclean only clears the software dirty bit, thus the
following code sequence can appear:
pte = pte_mkclean(pte);
if (pte_dirty(pte))
// this condition can return true with HW DBM!
This patch also adjusts pte_mkclean to set PTE_RDONLY thus effectively
clearing both the SW and HW dirty information.
In order for this to function on systems without HW DBM, we need to
also adjust pte_mkdirty to remove the read only bit from writable pte's
to avoid infinite fault loops.

commit f24e5834a2c3f6c5f814a417f858226f0a010ade upstream.
The high_memory global variable is used by
cma_declare_contiguous(.) before it is defined.
We don't notice this as we compute __pa(high_memory - 1), and it looks
like we're processing a VA from the direct linear map.
This problem becomes apparent when we flip the kernel virtual address
space and the linear map is moved to the bottom of the kernel VA space.
This patch moves the initialisation of high_memory before it used.

Subject: arm64: fix CONFIG_DEBUG_WX address reporting
From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland(a)arm.com>
commit 1d08a044cf12aee37dfd54837558e3295287b343 upstream.
In ptdump_check_wx(), we pass walk_pgd() a start address of 0 (rather
than VA_START) for the init_mm. This means that any reported W&X
addresses are offset by VA_START, which is clearly wrong and can make
them appear like userspace addresses.
Fix this by telling the ptdump code that we're walking init_mm starting
at VA_START. We don't need to update the addr_markers, since these are
still valid bounds regardless.

From: Shuah Khan <shuahkh(a)osg.samsung.com>
commit be6123df1ea8f01ee2f896a16c2b7be3e4557a5a upstream.
stub_send_ret_submit() handles urb with a potential null transfer_buffer,
when it replays a packet with potential malicious data that could contain
a null buffer. Add a check for the condition when actual_length > 0 and
transfer_buffer is null.
