The purpose of the locking is to prevent removal and additions
of nodes when statistics are gathered for a slab cache. So we
need to avoid racing with memory hotplug functionality.
It is enough to take the memory hotplug locks there instead
of the slub_lock.
online_pages() currently does not acquire the memory_hotplug
lock. Another patch will be submitted by the memory hotplug
authors to take the memory hotplug lock and describe the
uses of the memory hotplug lock to protect against
adding and removal of nodes from non hotplug data structures.

Now, memory_hotplug_(un)lock() is used for add/remove/offline pages
for avoiding races with hibernation. But this should be held in
online_pages(), too. It seems asymmetric.
There are cases where one has to avoid a race with memory hotplug
notifier and his own local code, and hotplug v.s. hotplug.
This will add a generic solution for avoiding races. In other view,
having lock here has no big impacts. online pages is tend to be
done by udev script at el against each memory section one by one.
Then, it's better to have lock here, too.

The preferred source address is currently ignored for local routes,
which results in all local connections having a src address that is the
same as the local dst address. Fix this by respecting the preferred source
address when it is provided for local routes.
This bug can be demonstrated as follows:
# ifconfig dummy0 192.168.0.1
# ip route show table local | grep local.*dummy0
local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0 proto kernel scope host src 192.168.0.1
# ip route change table local local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0 \
proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1
# ip route show table local | grep local.*dummy0
local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0 proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1
We now establish a local connection and verify the source IP
address selection:
# nc -l 192.168.0.1 3128 &
# nc 192.168.0.1 3128 &
# netstat -ant | grep 192.168.0.1:3128.*EST

If security_filter_rule_init() doesn't return a rule, then not everything
is as fine as the return code implies.
This bug only occurs when the LSM (eg. SELinux) is disabled at runtime.
Adding an empty LSM rule causes ima_match_rules() to always succeed,
ignoring any remaining rules.
default IMA TCB policy:
# PROC_SUPER_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x9fa0
# SYSFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x62656572
# DEBUGFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x64626720
# TMPFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x01021994
# SECURITYFS_MAGIC
dont_measure fsmagic=0x73636673
< LSM specific rule >
dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t
measure func=BPRM_CHECK
measure func=FILE_MMAP mask=MAY_EXEC
measure func=FILE_CHECK mask=MAY_READ uid=0
Thus without the patch, with the boot parameters 'tcb selinux=0', adding
the above 'dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t' rule to the default IMA TCB
measurement policy, would result in nothing being measured. The patch
prevents the default TCB policy from being replaced.

Commit 3f5a2a713a zeroes out the statistics

the commit leads to an oops when atl1_set_ringparam() attempts to alter
the number of rx or tx elements in the ring buffer (by using ethtool
-G, for example). We don't want SMB or CMB to change during this

Before this patch, the following error would sometimes occur after a
resume on pxa3xx:
/path/to/mm/memory.c:144: bad pmd 8040542e.
The problem was that a temporary page table mapping was being improperly
restored.
The PXA3xx resume code creates a temporary mapping of resume_turn_on_mmu
to avoid a prefetch abort. The pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu code requires
that the r1 register holding the address of this mapping not be
modified, however, resume_turn_on_mmu does modify it. It is mostly
correct in that r1 receives the base table address, but it may also
get other bits in 13:0. This results in pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu
restoring the original mapping to the wrong place, corrupting memory
and leaving the temporary mapping in place.

Hi,
In drivers/isdn/gigaset/capi.c::do_disconnect_req() we will leak the
memory allocated (with kmalloc) to 'b3cmsg' if the call to alloc_skb()
fails.
...
b3cmsg = kmalloc(sizeof(*b3cmsg), GFP_KERNEL);

if (!b3cmsg) {
dev_err(cs->dev, "%s: out of memory\n", __func__);
send_conf(iif, ap, skb, CAPI_MSGOSRESOURCEERR);
return;
}
capi_cmsg_header(b3cmsg, ap->id, CAPI_DISCONNECT_B3, CAPI_IND,
ap->nextMessageNumber++,
cmsg->adr.adrPLCI | (1 << 16));
b3cmsg->Reason_B3 = CapiProtocolErrorLayer1;
b3skb = alloc_skb(CAPI_DISCONNECT_B3_IND_BASELEN, GFP_KERNEL);
if (b3skb == NULL) {
dev_err(cs->dev, "%s: out of memory\n", __func__);
send_conf(iif, ap, skb, CAPI_MSGOSRESOURCEERR);

This leak is easily fixed by just kfree()'ing the memory allocated to

Do not check for init flag before starting I/O - zram module is unusable

The oops mentioned in the reverted commit message was actually a problem
only with the zram version as present in project's own repository where
we allocate struct zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In
mainline/staging version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so
this oops cannot happen in mainline version.
Checking for init_done flag in zram_make_request() results in a *no-op*
for any I/O operation since we simply always return success. This flag
is actually set when the first write occurs on a zram disk which
triggers its initialization.
