Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

In commit 6afaf8a484cb ("UBI: flush wl before clearing update marker") I
managed to trigger and fix a similar bug. Now here is another version of
which I assumed it wouldn't matter back then but it turns out UBI has a
check for it and will error out like this:
|ubi0 warning: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent used_ebs
|ubi0 error: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent VID header at PEB 592
All you need to trigger this is? "ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 file" + a
powercut in the middle of the operation.
ubi_start_update() sets the update-marker and puts all EBs on the erase
list. After that userland can proceed to write new data while the old EB
aren't erased completely. A powercut at this point is usually not that
much of a tragedy. UBI won't give read access to the static volume
because it has the update marker. It will most likely set the corrupted
flag because it misses some EBs.
So we are all good. Unless the size of the image that has been written
differs from the old image in the magnitude of at least one EB. In that
case UBI will find two different values for `used_ebs' and refuse to
attach the image with the error message mentioned above.
So in order not to get in the situation, the patch will ensure that we
wait until everything is removed before it tries to write any data.
The alternative would be to detect such a case and remove all EBs at the
attached time after we processed the volume-table and see the
update-marker set. The patch looks bigger and I doubt it is worth it
since usually the write() will wait from time to time for a new EB since
usually there not that many spare EB that can be used.

Pull thermal management fixes from Zhang Rui:
- Fix a potential deadlock in cpu_cooling driver, which was introduced
in 4.11-rc1. (Matthew Wilcox)
- Fix the cpu_cooling and devfreq_cooling code to handle possible error
return value from OPP calls, together with three minor fixes in the
same patch series. (Viresh Kumar)
* 'for-rc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux:
thermal: cpu_cooling: Check OPP for errors
thermal: cpu_cooling: Replace dev_warn with dev_err
thermal: devfreq: Check OPP for errors
thermal: devfreq_cooling: Replace dev_warn with dev_err
thermal: devfreq: Simplify expression
thermal: Fix potential deadlock in cpu_cooling
Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"Five fixes for this series:
- a fix from me to ensure that blk-mq drivers that terminate IO in
their ->queue_rq() handler by returning QUEUE_ERROR don't stall
with a scheduler enabled.
- four nbd fixes from Josef and Ratna, fixing various problems that
are critical enough to go in for this cycle. They have been well
tested"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
nbd: replace kill_bdev() with __invalidate_device()
nbd: set queue timeout properly
nbd: set rq->errors to actual error code
nbd: handle ERESTARTSYS properly
blk-mq: include errors in did_work calculation
It is possible for dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact() to return errors. It was
all fine earlier as dev_pm_opp_get_voltage() had a check within it to
check for invalid OPPs, but dev_pm_opp_put() doesn't have any similar
checks and the callers need to make sure OPP is valid before calling
them.
Also update the later dev_warn_ratelimited() to not print the error
message as the OPP is guaranteed to be valid now.

Merge xfrm_user validation fixes from Andy Whitcroft:
"Two patches we are applying to Ubuntu for XFRM_MSG_NEWAE validation
issue reported by ZDI.
The first of these is the primary fix, and the second is for a more
theoretical issue that Kees pointed out when reviewing the first"

xfrm_user: validate XFRM_MSG_NEWAE incoming ESN size harder

When a filesystem is mounted on a nbd device and on a disconnect, because
of kill_bdev(), and resetting bdev size to zero, buffer_head mappings are
getting destroyed under mounted filesystem.
After a bdev size reset(i.e bdev->bd_inode->i_size = 0) on a disconnect,
followed by a sys_umount(),
generic_shutdown_super()->...
->__sync_blockdev()->...
-blkdev_writepages()->...
->do_invalidatepage()->...
-discard_buffer() is discarding superblock buffer_head assumed
to be in mapped state by ext4_commit_super().

Merge PTRACE_SETREGSET leakage fixes from Dave Martin:
"This series is the collection of fixes I proposed on this topic, that
have not yet appeared upstream or in the stable branches,
The issue can leak kernel stack, but doesn't appear to allow userspace
to attack the kernel directly. The affected architectures are c6x,
h8300, metag, mips and sparc.
[ Mark Salter points out that c6x has no MMU or other mechanism to
prevent userspace access to kernel code or data on c6x, but it
doesn't hurt to clean that case up too. ]
The bugs arise from use of user_regset_copyin(). Users of
user_regset_copyin() can work in one of two ways:
1) Copy directly to thread_struct or equivalent. (This seems to be
the design assumption of the regset API, and is the most common
approach.)
2) Copy to a local variable and then transfer to thread_struct. (A
significant minority of cases.)
Buggy code typically involves approach 2"
* emailed patches from Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>:
sparc/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes
metag/ptrace: Provide default TXSTATUS for short NT_PRSTATUS
metag/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
h8300/ptrace: Fix incorrect register transfer count
c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation
Kees Cook has pointed out that xfrm_replay_state_esn_len() is subject to
wrapping issues. To ensure we are correctly ensuring that the two ESN
structures are the same size compare both the overall size as reported
by xfrm_replay_state_esn_len() and the internal length are the same.
