config REISERFS_FS tristate "Reiserfs support" select CRC32 help Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced tree. Uses journalling. Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system architectural foundations. In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed for NFS and quotas, please see for links. It is more easily extended to have features currently found in database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to make source code open.'' Read to learn more about reiserfs.

firmware: fix NULL pointer dereference in __fw_load_abort()
Since commit 5d47ec02c37ea6 ("firmware: Correct handling of fw_state_wait() return value") fw_load_abort() could be called twice and lead us to a kernel crash. This happens only when the firmware fallback mechanism (regular or custom) is used. The fallback mechanism exposes a sysfs interface for userspace to upload a file and notify the kernel when the file is loaded and ready, or to cancel an upload by echo'ing -1 into on the loading file: echo -n "-1" > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading This will call fw_load_abort(). Some distributions actually have a udev rule in place to *always* immediately cancel all firmware fallback mechanism requests (Debian), they have: $ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules # stub for immediately telling the kernel that userspace firmware loading # failed; necessary to avoid long timeouts with CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", ATTR{loading}="-1 Distributions with this udev rule would run into this crash only if the fallback mechanism is used. Since most distributions disable by default using the fallback mechanism (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK), this would typicaly mean only 2 drivers which *require* the fallback mechanism could typically incur a crash: drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c and the drivers/leds/leds-lp55xx-common.c driver. Distributions enabling CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK by default are obviously more exposed to this crash. The crash happens because after commit 5b029624948d ("firmware: do not use fw_lock for fw_state protection") and subsequent fix commit 5d47ec02c37ea6 ("firmware: Correct handling of fw_state_wait() return value") a race can happen between this cancelation and the firmware fw_state_wait_timeout() being woken up after a state change with which fw_load_abort() as that calls swake_up(). Upon error fw_state_wait_timeout() will also again call fw_load_abort() and trigger a null reference. At first glance we could just fix this with a !buf check on fw_load_abort() before accessing buf->fw_st, however there is a logical issue in having a state machine used for the fallback mechanism and preventing access from it once we abort as its inside the buf (buf->fw_st). The firmware_class.c code is setting the buf to NULL to annotate an abort has occurred. Replace this mechanism by simply using the state check instead. All the other code in place already uses similar checks for aborting as well so no further changes are needed. An oops can be reproduced with the new fw_fallback.sh fallback mechanism cancellation test. Either cancelling the fallback mechanism or the custom fallback mechanism triggers a crash. mcgrof@piggy ~/linux-next/tools/testing/selftests/firmware (git::20170111-fw-fixes)$ sudo ./fw_fallback.sh ./fw_fallback.sh: timeout works ./fw_fallback.sh: firmware comparison works ./fw_fallback.sh: fallback mechanism works [ this then sits here when it is trying the cancellation test ] Kernel log: test_firmware: loading 'nope-test-firmware.bin' misc test_firmware: Direct firmware load for nope-test-firmware.bin failed with error -2 misc test_firmware: Falling back to user helper BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038 IP: _request_firmware+0xa27/0xad0 PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: test_firmware(E) ... etc ...
