      lockd: convert nlm_lockowner.count from atomic_t to refcount_t · 431f125b
      Elena Reshetova authored
      atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
      counters with the following properties:
       - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
       - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
       - once counter reaches zero, its further
         increments aren't allowed
       - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
         (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
      
      Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
      refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
      and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
      can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
      
      The variable nlm_lockowner.count is used as pure reference counter.
      Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
      
      **Important note for maintainers:
      
      Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
      have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
      counterparts.
      The full comparison can be seen in
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
      in state to be merged to the documentation tree.
      Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
      enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
      some rare cases it might matter.
      Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
      memory guarantees for this variable usage.
      
      For the nlm_lockowner.count it might make a difference
      in following places:
       - nlm_put_lockowner(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_lock() only
         provides RELEASE ordering, control dependency on success and
         holds a spin lock on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart.
         No changes in spin lock guarantees.

      nfs/pnfs: fix nfs_direct_req ref leak when i/o falls back to the mds · ba4a76f7
      Scott Mayhew authored
      Currently when falling back to doing I/O through the MDS (via
      pnfs_{read|write}_through_mds), the client frees the nfs_pgio_header
      without releasing the reference taken on the dreq
      via pnfs_generic_pg_{read|write}pages -> nfs_pgheader_init ->
      nfs_direct_pgio_init.  It then takes another reference on the dreq via
      nfs_generic_pg_pgios -> nfs_pgheader_init -> nfs_direct_pgio_init and
      as a result the requester will become stuck in inode_dio_wait.  Once
      that happens, other processes accessing the inode will become stuck as
      well.
      
      Ensure that pnfs_read_through_mds() and pnfs_write_through_mds() clean
      up correctly by calling hdr->completion_ops->completion() instead of
      calling hdr->release() directly.
      
      This can be reproduced (sometimes) by performing "storage failover
      takeover" commands on NetApp filer while doing direct I/O from a client.
      
      This can also be reproduced using SystemTap to simulate a failure while
      doing direct I/O from a client (from Dave Wysochanski
      <dwysocha@redhat.com>):

      pnfs/blocklayout: handle transient devices · b3dce6a2
      Benjamin Coddington authored
      PNFS block/SCSI layouts should gracefully handle cases where block devices
      are not available when a layout is retrieved, or the block devices are
      removed while the client holds a layout.
      
      While setting up a layout segment, keep a record of an unavailable or
      un-parsable block device in cache with a flag so that subsequent layouts do
      not spam the server with GETDEVINFO.  We can reuse the current
      NFS_DEVICEID_UNAVAILABLE handling with one variation: instead of reusing
      the device, we will discard it and send a fresh GETDEVINFO after the
      timeout, since the lookup and validation of the device occurs within the
      GETDEVINFO response handling.
      
      A lookup of a layout segment that references an unavailable device will
      return a segment with the NFS_LSEG_UNAVAILABLE flag set.  This will allow
      the pgio layer to mark the layout with the appropriate fail bit, which
      forces subsequent IO to the MDS, and prevents spamming the server with
      LAYOUTGET, LAYOUTRETURN.
      
      Finally, when IO to a block device fails, look up the block device(s)
      referenced by the pgio header, and mark them as unavailable.

      Benjamin Coddington authored
      If there's an error doing I/O to block device, and the client resends the
      I/O to the MDS, the MDS must recall the layout from the client before
      processing the I/O.  Let's preempt that exchange by returning the layout
      before falling back to the MDS when there's an error.

      NFSv4: always set NFS_LOCK_LOST when a lock is lost. · dce2630c
      NeilBrown authored
      There are 2 comments in the NFSv4 code which suggest that
      SIGLOST should possibly be sent to a process.  In these
      cases a lock has been lost.
      The current practice is to set NFS_LOCK_LOST so that
      read/write returns EIO when a lock is lost.
      So change these comments to code when sets NFS_LOCK_LOST.
      
      One case is when lock recovery after apparent server restart
      fails with NFS4ERR_DENIED, NFS4ERR_RECLAIM_BAD, or
      NFS4ERRO_RECLAIM_CONFLICT.  The other case is when a lock
      attempt as part of lease recovery fails with NFS4ERR_DENIED.
      
      In an ideal world, these should not happen.  However I have
      a packet trace showing an NFSv4.1 session getting
      NFS4ERR_BADSESSION after an extended network parition.  The
      NFSv4.1 client treats this like server reboot until/unless
      it get NFS4ERR_NO_GRACE, in which case it switches over to
      "nograce" recovery mode.  In this network trace, the client
      attempts to recover a lock and the server (incorrectly)
      reports NFS4ERR_DENIED rather than NFS4ERR_NO_GRACE.  This
      leads to the ineffective comment and the client then
      continues to write using the OPEN stateid.

      x86/retpoline: Remove compile time warning · b8b9ce4b
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Remove the compile time warning when CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and the compiler
      does not have retpoline support. Linus rationale for this is:
      
        It's wrong because it will just make people turn off RETPOLINE, and the
        asm updates - and return stack clearing - that are independent of the
        compiler are likely the most important parts because they are likely the
        ones easiest to target.
      
        And it's annoying because most people won't be able to do anything about
        it. The number of people building their own compiler? Very small. So if
        their distro hasn't got a compiler yet (and pretty much nobody does), the
        warning is just annoying crap.
      
        It is already properly reported as part of the sysfs interface. The
        compile-time warning only encourages bad things.

           and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.
      
         - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
           enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
           CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
           space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
           be worked on.
      
         - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
           space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared
      
         - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions
      
         - add PTI documentation
      
         - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
           implements what it advertises.
      
         - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
           information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
           status.
      
         - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:
      
            + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support
      
            + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
              code
      
            + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
              trap
      
            + The RSB fill after vmexit
      
         - initial objtool support for retpoline
      
        As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
        which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
        hold:
      
         - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs
      
         - the RSB fill after context switch
      
        Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
        covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

      x86,perf: Disable intel_bts when PTI · 99a9dc98
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      The intel_bts driver does not use the 'normal' BTS buffer which is exposed
      through the cpu_entry_area but instead uses the memory allocated for the
      perf AUX buffer.
      
      This obviously comes apart when using PTI because then the kernel mapping;
      which includes that AUX buffer memory; disappears. Fixing this requires to
      expose a mapping which is visible in all context and that's not trivial.
      
      As a quick fix disable this driver when PTI is enabled to prevent
      malfunction.

      security/Kconfig: Correct the Documentation reference for PTI · a237f762
      W. Trevor King authored
      When the config option for PTI was added a reference to documentation was
      added as well. But the documentation did not exist at that point. The final
      documentation has a different file name.
      
      Fix it up to point to the proper file.

      x86/pti: Fix !PCID and sanitize defines · f10ee3dc
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      The switch to the user space page tables in the low level ASM code sets
      unconditionally bit 12 and bit 11 of CR3. Bit 12 is switching the base
      address of the page directory to the user part, bit 11 is switching the
      PCID to the PCID associated with the user page tables.
      
      This fails on a machine which lacks PCID support because bit 11 is set in
      CR3. Bit 11 is reserved when PCID is inactive.
      
      While the Intel SDM claims that the reserved bits are ignored when PCID is
      disabled, the AMD APM states that they should be cleared.
      
      This went unnoticed as the AMD APM was not checked when the code was
      developed and reviewed and test systems with Intel CPUs never failed to
      boot. The report is against a Centos 6 host where the guest fails to boot,
      so it's not yet clear whether this is a virt issue or can happen on real
      hardware too, but thats irrelevant as the AMD APM clearly ask for clearing
      the reserved bits.
      
      Make sure that on non PCID machines bit 11 is not set by the page table
      switching code.
      
      Andy suggested to rename the related bits and masks so they are clearly
      describing what they should be used for, which is done as well for clarity.
      
      That split could have been done with alternatives but the macro hell is
      horrible and ugly. This can be done on top if someone cares to remove the
      extra orq. For now it's a straight forward fix.
