[PATCH 5.10.y 0/3] v5.10: fix build with GCC 15

by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)

This kernel version doesn't build with GCC 15: In file included from include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5, from include/uapi/linux/types.h:14, from include/linux/types.h:6, from arch/x86/realmode/rm/wakeup.h:11, from arch/x86/realmode/rm/wakemain.c:2: include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: cannot use keyword 'false' as enumeration constant 11 | false = 0, | ^~~~~ include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: note: 'false' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards include/linux/types.h:30:33: error: 'bool' cannot be defined via 'typedef' 30 | typedef _Bool bool; | ^~~~ include/linux/types.h:30:33: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards include/linux/types.h:30:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration 30 | typedef _Bool bool; | ^~~~~~~ I initially fixed this by adding -std=gnu11 in arch/x86/Makefile, then I realised this fix was already done in an upstream commit, created before the GCC 15 release and not mentioning the error I had. This is the first patch. When I was investigating my error, I noticed other commits were already backported to stable versions. They were all adding -std=gnu11 in different Makefiles. In their commit message, they were mentioning 'gnu11' was picked to use the same as the one from the main Makefile. But this is not the case in this kernel version. Patch 2 fixes that. Finally, I noticed an extra warning that I didn't have in v5.15. Patch 3 fixes that.

Because the thread sc_task main function nilfs_segctor_thread() returns 0 when it succeeds, when the return value of kthread_stop() is not 0 in nilfs_segctor_destroy(), we believe that it has not properly closed sc_timer. We use timer_shutdown_sync() to sync wait for sc_timer to shutdown, and set the value of sc_task to NULL under the protection of lock sc_state_lock, so as to avoid the issue caused by sc_timer not being properly shutdowned.

[PATCH v2] usb: storage: Fix memory leak in USB bulk transport

by Desnes Nunes

A kernel memory leak was identified by the 'ioctl_sg01' test from Linux Test Project (LTP). The following bytes were mainly observed: 0x53425355. When USB storage devices incorrectly skip the data phase with status data, the code extracts/validates the CSW from the sg buffer, but fails to clear it afterwards. This leaves status protocol data in srb's transfer buffer, such as the US_BULK_CS_SIGN 'USBS' signature observed here. Thus, this can lead to USB protocols leaks to user space through SCSI generic (/dev/sg*) interfaces, such as the one seen here when the LTP test requested 512 KiB. Fix the leak by zeroing the CSW data in srb's transfer buffer immediately after the validation of devices that skip data phase. Note: Differently from CVE-2018-1000204, which fixed a big leak by zero- ing pages at allocation time, this leak occurs after allocation, when USB protocol data is written to already-allocated sg pages. v2: Use the same code style found on usb_stor_Bulk_transport() Fixes: a45b599ad808 ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in sg_build_indirect()") Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Desnes Nunes <desnesn(a)redhat.com> --- drivers/usb/storage/transport.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/usb/storage/transport.c b/drivers/usb/storage/transport.c index 1aa1bd26c81f..ee6b89f7f9ac 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/storage/transport.c +++ b/drivers/usb/storage/transport.c @@ -1200,7 +1200,19 @@ int usb_stor_Bulk_transport(struct scsi_cmnd *srb, struct us_data *us) US_BULK_CS_WRAP_LEN && bcs->Signature == cpu_to_le32(US_BULK_CS_SIGN)) { + unsigned char buf[US_BULK_CS_WRAP_LEN]; + + sg = NULL; + offset = 0; + memset(buf, 0, US_BULK_CS_WRAP_LEN); usb_stor_dbg(us, "Device skipped data phase\n"); + + if (usb_stor_access_xfer_buf(buf, + US_BULK_CS_WRAP_LEN, srb, &sg, + &offset, TO_XFER_BUF) != + US_BULK_CS_WRAP_LEN) + usb_stor_dbg(us, "Failed to clear CSW data\n"); + scsi_set_resid(srb, transfer_length); goto skipped_data_phase; } -- 2.51.0

On 32-bit systems, the kernel initializes jiffies to "-5 minutes" to make jiffies wrap bugs appear earlier. However, this causes time_before() in damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() to unexpectedly return true during the first 5 minutes after boot on 32-bit systems (see [1] for more explanation, which fixes another jiffies-related issue before). As a result, DAMON does not update sysfs files during that period. There is also an issue unrelated to the system's word size[2]: if the user stops DAMON just after next_update_jiffies is updated and restarts it after 'refresh_ms' or a longer delay, next_update_jiffies will retain an older value, causing time_before() to return false and the update to happen earlier than expected. Fix these issues by making next_update_jiffies a global variable and initializing it each time DAMON is started.

However, this may cause the time_before() series of functions to return unexpected values, resulting in DAMON not functioning as intended. Meanwhile, similar issues exist in some specific user operation scenarios. This patchset addresses these issues. The first patch is about the DAMON_STAT module, and the second patch is about the core layer's sysfs. This patch (of 2): In DAMON_STAT's damon_stat_damon_call_fn(), time_before_eq() is used to avoid unnecessarily frequent stat update. On 32-bit systems, the kernel initializes jiffies to "-5 minutes" to make jiffies wrap bugs appear earlier. However, this causes time_before_eq() in DAMON_STAT to unexpectedly return true during the first 5 minutes after boot on 32-bit systems (see [1] for more explanation, which fixes another jiffies-related issue before). As a result, DAMON_STAT does not update any monitoring results during that period, which becomes more confusing when DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT is enabled. There is also an issue unrelated to the system's word size[2]: if the user stops DAMON_STAT just after last_refresh_jiffies is updated and restarts it after 5 seconds or a longer delay, last_refresh_jiffies will retain an older value, causing time_before_eq() to return false and the update to happen earlier than expected. Fix these issues by making last_refresh_jiffies a global variable and initializing it each time DAMON_STAT is started.

The quilt patch titled Subject: s390: fix HugeTLB vmemmap optimization crash has been removed from the -mm tree.

Before that change, the HVO implementation called flush_tlb_kernel_range() each time a vmemmap PMD split and remapping was performed. The mentioned commit changed this to issue a few flush_tlb_all() calls after performing all remappings. However, on s390, flush_tlb_kernel_range() expands to __tlb_flush_kernel() while flush_tlb_all() is not implemented. As a result, we went from flushing the TLB for every remapping to no flushing at all. This commit fixes this by implementing flush_tlb_all() on s390 as an alias to __tlb_flush_global(). This should cause a flush on all TLB entries on all CPUs as expected by the flush_tlb_all() semantics.

[PATCH v4] mm/huge_memory: preserve PG_has_hwpoisoned if a folio is split to >0 order

by Zi Yan

folio split clears PG_has_hwpoisoned, but the flag should be preserved in after-split folios containing pages with PG_hwpoisoned flag if the folio is split to >0 order folios. 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.
