val is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a
potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

drivers/misc/hmc6352.c:54 compass_store() warn: potential spectre issue
'map' [r]

Fix this by sanitizing val before using it to index map

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

<content type='text'>
In case a client fails to connect in mei_cldev_enable(), the
caller won't call the mei_cldev_disable leaving the client
in a linked stated. Upon driver unload the client structure
will be freed in  mei_cl_bus_dev_release(), leaving a stale pointer
on a fail_list.  This will eventually end up in crash
during power down flow in mei_cl_set_disonnected().

In case the device is not connected it doesn't 'get'

KASAN reports a use-after-free during startup, in mei_cl_write:

    BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mei_cl_write+0x601/0x870 [mei]
       (drivers/misc/mei/client.c:1770)

This is caused by commit 98e70866aacb ("mei: add support for variable
length mei headers."), which changed the return value from len, to
buf-&gt;size. That ends up using a stale buf pointer, because blocking
call, the cb (callback) is deleted in me_cl_complete() function.

However, fortunately, len remains unchanged throughout the function
(and I don't see anything else that would require re-reading buf-&gt;size
either), so the fix is to simply revert the change, and return len, as
before.

Fixes: 98e70866aacb ("mei: add support for variable length mei headers.")

<title>mei: ignore not found client in the enumeration</title>

<content type='text'>
Some of the ME clients are available only for BIOS operation and are
removed during hand off to an OS. However the removal is not instant.
A client may be visible on the client list when the mei driver requests
for enumeration, while the subsequent request for properties will be
answered with client not found error value. The default behavior
for an error is to perform client reset while this error is harmless and
the link reset should be prevented. This issue started to be visible due to
suspend/resume timing changes. Currently reported only on the Haswell
based system.

Pull IDA updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "A better IDA API:

      id = ida_alloc(ida, GFP_xxx);
      ida_free(ida, id);

  rather than the cumbersome ida_simple_get(), ida_simple_remove().

  The new IDA API is similar to ida_simple_get() but better named.  The
  internal restructuring of the IDA code removes the bitmap
  preallocation nonsense.

  I hope the net -200 lines of code is convincing"

<title>mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:93065ac753e4443840a057bfef4be71ec766fde9</id>
<content type='text'>
There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.

Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep.  That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.

We can do much better though.  Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held.  Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range.  Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.

This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false.  This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.

I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that.  The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.

The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode.  A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.

The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom.  This can be done e.g.  after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small.  Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.
