      <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h>: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string() · 917ea166
      George Spelvin authored 
      
Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the
separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code.

Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is
likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash().

Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which
is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash().
(Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!)

This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for
more than 32 bits of output.

The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash()
is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now,
but will be improved greatly later in the series.

      fs/namei.c: Add hashlen_string() function · fcfd2fbf
      George Spelvin authored 
      
We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions
throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own,
and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required
for that.

(The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.)

It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name().
Other uses in the next patch.

full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful:
1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to
   be consistent with hash_name().
2) Handle zero-length inputs.  If we want more callers, we don't want
   to make them worry about corner cases.

      Original implementation commit e54bcde3 ("arm64: eBPF JIT compiler")

As a result, we had been falling back to BPF interpreter whenever a BPF
program has JMP_JSET_{X,K} instructions.

With this fix, we confirm that the corresponding tests in lib/test_bpf
continue to pass, and also jited.

      net/route: enforce hoplimit max value · 626abd59
      Paolo Abeni authored 
      
Currently, when creating or updating a route, no check is performed
in both ipv4 and ipv6 code to the hoplimit value.

The caller can i.e. set hoplimit to 256, and when such route will
 be used, packets will be sent with hoplimit/ttl equal to 0.

This commit adds checks for the RTAX_HOPLIMIT value, in both ipv4
ipv6 route code, substituting any value greater than 255 with 255.

This is consistent with what is currently done for ADVMSS and MTU
in the ipv4 code.

      nf_conntrack: avoid kernel pointer value leak in slab name · 31b0b385
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The slab name ends up being visible in the directory structure under
/sys, and even if you don't have access rights to the file you can see
the filenames.

Just use a 64-bit counter instead of the pointer to the 'net' structure
to generate a unique name.

This code will go away in 4.7 when the conntrack code moves to a single
kmemcache, but this is the backportable simple solution to avoiding
leaking kernel pointers to user space.

      mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults · 6d0a07ed
      Andrea Arcangeli authored 
      This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range...

      ksm: fix conflict between mmput and scan_get_next_rmap_item · 7496fea9
      Zhou Chengming authored 
      A concurrency issue about KSM in the function scan_get_next_rmap_item.

task A (ksmd):				|task B (the mm's task):
					|
mm = slot->mm;				|
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);		|
					|
...					|
					|
spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
					|
ksm_scan.mm_slot go to the next slot;	|
					|
spin_unlock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
					|mmput() ->
					|	ksm_exit():
					|
					|spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);
					|if (mm_slot && ksm_scan.mm_slot != mm_slot) {
					|	if (!mm_slot->rmap_list) {
					|		easy_to_free = 1;
					|		...
					|
					|if (easy_to_free) {
					|	mmdrop(mm);
					|	...
					|
					|So this mm_struct may be freed in the mmput().
					|
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);			|

As we can see above, the ksmd thread may access a mm_struct that already
been freed to the kmem_cache.  Suppose a fork will get this mm_struct from
the kmem_cache, the ksmd thread then call up_read(&mm->mmap_sem), will
cause mmap_sem.count to become -1.

As suggested by Andrea Arcangeli, unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items has
the same SMP race condition, so fix it too.  My prev fix in function
scan_get_next_rmap_item will introduce a different SMP race condition, so
just invert the up_read/spin_unlock order as Andrea Arcangeli said.

      ocfs2: fix posix_acl_create deadlock · c25a1e06
      Junxiao Bi authored 
      Commit 702e5bc6 ("ocfs2: use generic posix ACL infrastructure")
refactored code to use posix_acl_create.  The problem with this function
is that it is not mindful of the cluster wide inode lock making it
unsuitable for use with ocfs2 inode creation with ACLs.  For example,
when used in ocfs2_mknod, this function can cause deadlock as follows.
The parent dir inode lock is taken when calling posix_acl_create ->
get_acl -> ocfs2_iop_get_acl which takes the inode lock again.  This can
cause deadlock if there is a blocked remote lock request waiting for the
lock to be downconverted.  And same deadlock happened in ocfs2_reflink.
This fix is to revert back using ocfs2_init_acl.

Fixes: 702e5bc6

      ocfs2: revert using ocfs2_acl_chmod to avoid inode cluster lock hang · 5ee0fbd5
      Junxiao Bi authored 
      Commit 743b5f14 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()")
introduced this issue.  ocfs2_setattr called by chmod command holds
cluster wide inode lock when calling posix_acl_chmod.  This latter
function in turn calls ocfs2_iop_get_acl and ocfs2_iop_set_acl.  These
two are also called directly from vfs layer for getfacl/setfacl commands
and therefore acquire the cluster wide inode lock.  If a remote
conversion request comes after the first inode lock in ocfs2_setattr,
OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED will be set.  And this will cause the second call to
inode lock from the ocfs2_iop_get_acl() to block indefinetly.

The deleted version of ocfs2_acl_chmod() calls __posix_acl_chmod() which
does not call back into the filesystem.  Therefore, we restore
ocfs2_acl_chmod(), modify it slightly for locking as needed, and use that
instead.

I tried to fix this before, but my previous fix was incomplete
and we can still get the same link error in randconfig builds
because of the way that Kconfig treats the

	default y if MVNETA=y && MVNETA_BM_ENABLE

line that does not actually trigger when MVNETA_BM_ENABLE=m,
unlike I intended.
Changing the line to use MVNETA_BM_ENABLE!=n however has
the desired effect and hopefully makes all configurations
work as expected.
