PCI/ASPM: Fix deadlock when enabling ASPM
A last minute revert in 6.7-final introduced a potential deadlock when
enabling ASPM during probe of Qualcomm PCIe controllers as reported by
lockdep:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.7.0 #40 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
kworker/u16:5/90 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
ffffacfa78ced000 (pci_bus_sem){++++}-{3:3}, at: pci_walk_bus+0x34/0xbc
other info that might help us debug this:

The deadlock can easily be reproduced on machines like the Lenovo ThinkPad
X13s by adding a delay to increase the race window during asynchronous
probe where another thread can take a write lock.
Add a new pci_set_power_state_locked() and associated helper functions that
can be called with the PCI bus semaphore held to avoid taking the read lock
twice. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qcom-rng - fix infinite loop on requests not multiple of WORD_SZ
The commit referenced in the Fixes tag removed the 'break' from the else
branch in qcom_rng_read(), causing an infinite loop whenever 'max' is
not a multiple of WORD_SZ. This can be reproduced e.g. by running:
kcapi-rng -b 67 >/dev/null
There are many ways to fix this without adding back the 'break', but
they all seem more awkward than simply adding it back, so do just that.
Tested on a machine with Qualcomm Amberwing processor. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: improve robustness of the audit queue handling
If the audit daemon were ever to get stuck in a stopped state the
kernel's kauditd_thread() could get blocked attempting to send audit
records to the userspace audit daemon. With the kernel thread
blocked it is possible that the audit queue could grow unbounded as
certain audit record generating events must be exempt from the queue
limits else the system enter a deadlock state.
This patch resolves this problem by lowering the kernel thread's
socket sending timeout from MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT to HZ/10 and tweaks
the kauditd_send_queue() function to better manage the various audit
queues when connection problems occur between the kernel and the
audit daemon. With this patch, the backlog may temporarily grow
beyond the defined limits when the audit daemon is stopped and the
system is under heavy audit pressure, but kauditd_thread() will
continue to make progress and drain the queues as it would for other
connection problems. For example, with the audit daemon put into a
stopped state and the system configured to audit every syscall it
was still possible to shutdown the system without a kernel panic,
deadlock, etc.; granted, the system was slow to shutdown but that is
to be expected given the extreme pressure of recording every syscall.
The timeout value of HZ/10 was chosen primarily through
experimentation and this developer's "gut feeling". There is likely
no one perfect value, but as this scenario is limited in scope (root
privileges would be needed to send SIGSTOP to the audit daemon), it
is likely not worth exposing this as a tunable at present. This can
always be done at a later date if it proves necessary. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/qeth: fix deadlock during failing recovery
Commit 0b9902c1fcc5 ("s390/qeth: fix deadlock during recovery") removed
taking discipline_mutex inside qeth_do_reset(), fixing potential
deadlocks. An error path was missed though, that still takes
discipline_mutex and thus has the original deadlock potential.
Intermittent deadlocks were seen when a qeth channel path is configured
offline, causing a race between qeth_do_reset and ccwgroup_remove.
Call qeth_set_offline() directly in the qeth_do_reset() error case and
then a new variant of ccwgroup_set_offline(), without taking
discipline_mutex. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: sysfs: Fix hang when device state is set via sysfs
This fixes a regression added with:
commit f0f82e2476f6 ("scsi: core: Fix capacity set to zero after
offlinining device")
The problem is that after iSCSI recovery, iscsid will call into the kernel
to set the dev's state to running, and with that patch we now call
scsi_rescan_device() with the state_mutex held. If the SCSI error handler
thread is just starting to test the device in scsi_send_eh_cmnd() then it's
going to try to grab the state_mutex.
We are then stuck, because when scsi_rescan_device() tries to send its I/O
scsi_queue_rq() calls -> scsi_host_queue_ready() -> scsi_host_in_recovery()
which will return true (the host state is still in recovery) and I/O will
just be requeued. scsi_send_eh_cmnd() will then never be able to grab the
state_mutex to finish error handling.
To prevent the deadlock move the rescan-related code to after we drop the
state_mutex.
This also adds a check for if we are already in the running state. This
prevents extra scans and helps the iscsid case where if the transport class
has already onlined the device during its recovery process then we don't
need userspace to do it again plus possibly block that daemon. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Prevent a bad reference count on CPU nodes
When populating cache leaves we previously fetched the CPU device node
at the very beginning. But when ACPI is enabled we go through a
specific branch which returns early and does not call 'of_node_put' for
the node that was acquired.
Since we are not using a CPU device node for the ACPI code anyways, we
can simply move the initialization of it just passed the ACPI block, and
we are guaranteed to have an 'of_node_put' call for the acquired node.
This prevents a bad reference count of the CPU device node.
Moreover, the previous function did not check for errors when acquiring
the device node, so a return -ENOENT has been added for that case. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: soc-acpi-intel-rpl-match: add missing empty item
There is no links_num in struct snd_soc_acpi_mach {}, and we test
!link->num_adr as a condition to end the loop in hda_sdw_machine_select().
So an empty item in struct snd_soc_acpi_link_adr array is required. |

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986
mt7915_band_config() sets band_idx = 1 on the main phy for mt7986

Commit 0335c034e726 ("wifi: mt76: fix race condition related to

firmware: qcom: uefisecapp: Fix deadlock in qcuefi_acquire()
If the __qcuefi pointer is not set, then in the original code, we would
hold onto the lock. That means that if we tried to set it later, then
it would cause a deadlock. Drop the lock on the error path. That's
what all the callers are expecting. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/client: fix deadlock in show_meminfo()
There is a real deadlock as well as sleeping in atomic() bug in here, if
the bo put happens to be the last ref, since bo destruction wants to
grab the same spinlock and sleeping locks. Fix that by dropping the ref
using xe_bo_put_deferred(), and moving the final commit outside of the
lock. Dropping the lock around the put is tricky since the bo can go
out of scope and delete itself from the list, making it difficult to
navigate to the next list entry.

libfs: fix infinite directory reads for offset dir
After we switch tmpfs dir operations from simple_dir_operations to
simple_offset_dir_operations, every rename happened will fill new dentry
to dest dir's maple tree(&SHMEM_I(inode)->dir_offsets->mt) with a free
key starting with octx->newx_offset, and then set newx_offset equals to
free key + 1. This will lead to infinite readdir combine with rename
happened at the same time, which fail generic/736 in xfstests(detail show
as below).
1. create 5000 files(1 2 3...) under one dir
2. call readdir(man 3 readdir) once, and get one entry
3. rename(entry, "TEMPFILE"), then rename("TEMPFILE", entry)
4. loop 2~3, until readdir return nothing or we loop too many
times(tmpfs break test with the second condition)
We choose the same logic what commit 9b378f6ad48cf ("btrfs: fix infinite
directory reads") to fix it, record the last_index when we open dir, and
do not emit the entry which index >= last_index. The file->private_data
now used in offset dir can use directly to do this, and we also update
the last_index when we llseek the dir file.
[brauner: only update last_index after seek when offset is zero like Jan suggested] |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix may_goto with negative offset.
Zac's syzbot crafted a bpf prog that exposed two bugs in may_goto.
The 1st bug is the way may_goto is patched. When offset is negative
it should be patched differently.
The 2nd bug is in the verifier:
when current state may_goto_depth is equal to visited state may_goto_depth
it means there is an actual infinite loop. It's not correct to prune
exploration of the program at this point.
Note, that this check doesn't limit the program to only one may_goto insn,
since 2nd and any further may_goto will increment may_goto_depth only
in the queued state pushed for future exploration. The current state
will have may_goto_depth == 0 regardless of number of may_goto insns
and the verifier has to explore the program until bpf_exit. |

gem_poll_controller() disables interrupts, which may sleep.
We can't sleep in netpoll, it has interrupts disabled completely.
Strangely, gem_poll_controller() doesn't even poll the completions,
and instead acts as if an interrupt has fired so it just schedules
NAPI and exits. None of this has been necessary for years, since
netpoll invokes NAPI directly. |

[Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] CPU0 CPU1
[Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] ---- ----

[Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] lock(vivid_ctrls:1608:(hdl_user_vid)->_lock);
For now just revert. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Reapply "drm/qxl: simplify qxl_fence_wait"
This reverts commit 07ed11afb68d94eadd4ffc082b97c2331307c5ea.
Stephen Rostedt reports:
"I went to run my tests on my VMs and the tests hung on boot up.
Unfortunately, the most I ever got out was:
[ 93.607888] Testing event system initcall: OK
[ 93.667730] Running tests on all trace events:
[ 93.669757] Testing all events: OK
[ 95.631064] ------------[ cut here ]------------
Timed out after 60 seconds"
and further debugging points to a possible circular locking dependency
between the console_owner locking and the worker pool locking.
Reverting the commit allows Steve's VM to boot to completion again.
[ This may obviously result in the "[TTM] Buffer eviction failed"
messages again, which was the reason for that original revert. But at
this point this seems preferable to a non-booting system... ] |

See commit f2c817bed58d ("mm: use memalloc_nofs_save in readahead path"),
ensure that page_cache_ra_order() do not attempt to reclaim file-backed
pages too, or it leads to a deadlock, found issue when test ext4 large

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_net: Do not send RSS key if it is not supported
There is a bug when setting the RSS options in virtio_net that can break
the whole machine, getting the kernel into an infinite loop.
Running the following command in any QEMU virtual machine with virtionet
will reproduce this problem:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc toeplitz
This is how the problem happens:
1) ethtool_set_rxfh() calls virtnet_set_rxfh()
2) virtnet_set_rxfh() calls virtnet_commit_rss_command()
3) virtnet_commit_rss_command() populates 4 entries for the rss
scatter-gather
4) Since the command above does not have a key, then the last
scatter-gatter entry will be zeroed, since rss_key_size == 0.
sg_buf_size = vi->rss_key_size;
5) This buffer is passed to qemu, but qemu is not happy with a buffer
with zero length, and do the following in virtqueue_map_desc() (QEMU
function):
if (!sz) {
virtio_error(vdev, "virtio: zero sized buffers are not allowed");
6) virtio_error() (also QEMU function) set the device as broken
vdev->broken = true;
7) Qemu bails out, and do not repond this crazy kernel.
8) The kernel is waiting for the response to come back (function
virtnet_send_command())
9) The kernel is waiting doing the following :
while (!virtqueue_get_buf(vi->cvq, &tmp) &&
!virtqueue_is_broken(vi->cvq))
cpu_relax();
10) None of the following functions above is true, thus, the kernel
loops here forever. Keeping in mind that virtqueue_is_broken() does
not look at the qemu `vdev->broken`, so, it never realizes that the
vitio is broken at QEMU side.
Fix it by not sending RSS commands if the feature is not available in
the device. |
