      rbd: fix safety of rbd_put_client() · d23a4b3f
      Alex Elder authored 
      The rbd_client structure uses a kref to arrange for cleaning up and
freeing an instance when its last reference is dropped.  The cleanup
routine is rbd_client_release(), and one of the things it does is
delete the rbd_client from rbd_client_list.  It acquires node_lock
to do so, but the way it is done is still not safe.

The problem is that when attempting to reuse an existing rbd_client,
the structure found might already be in the process of getting
destroyed and cleaned up.

Here's the scenario, with "CLIENT" representing an existing
rbd_client that's involved in the race:

 Thread on CPU A                | Thread on CPU B
 ---------------                | ---------------
 rbd_put_client(CLIENT)         | rbd_get_client()
   kref_put()                   |   (acquires node_lock)
     kref->refcount becomes 0   |   __rbd_client_find() returns CLIENT
     calls rbd_client_release() |   kref_get(&CLIENT->kref);
                                |   (releases node_lock)
       (acquires node_lock)     |
       deletes CLIENT from list | ...and starts using CLIENT...
       (releases node_lock)     |
       and frees CLIENT         | <-- but CLIENT gets freed here

Fix this by having rbd_put_client() acquire node_lock.  The result
could still be improved, but at least it avoids this problem.

      Fix race in process_vm_rw_core · 8cdb878d
      Christopher Yeoh authored 
      This fixes the race in process_vm_core found by Oleg (see

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235667/

for details).

This has been updated since I last sent it as the creation of the new
mm_access() function did almost exactly the same thing as parts of the
previous version of this patch did.

In order to use mm_access() even when /proc isn't enabled, we move it to
kernel/fork.c where other related process mm access functions already
are.

      rbd: fix a memory leak in rbd_get_client() · 97bb59a0
      Alex Elder authored 
      If an existing rbd client is found to be suitable for use in
rbd_get_client(), the rbd_options structure is not being
freed as it should.  Fix that.

      ceph: create a new session lock to avoid lock inversion · d8fb02ab
      Alex Elder authored 
      Lockdep was reporting a possible circular lock dependency in
dentry_lease_is_valid().  That function needs to sample the
session's s_cap_gen and and s_cap_ttl fields coherently, but needs
to do so while holding a dentry lock.  The s_cap_lock field was
being used to protect the two fields, but that can't be taken while
holding a lock on a dentry within the session.

In most cases, the s_cap_gen and s_cap_ttl fields only get operated
on separately.  But in three cases they need to be updated together.
Implement a new lock to protect the spots updating both fields
atomically is required.

      ceph: fix length validation in parse_reply_info() · 32852a81
      Xi Wang authored 
      "len" is read from network and thus needs validation.  Otherwise, given
a bogus "len" value, p+len could be an out-of-bounds pointer, which is
used in further parsing.

      ceph: initialize client debugfs outside of monc->mutex · ab434b60
      Sage Weil authored 
      Initializing debufs under monc->mutex introduces a lock dependency for
sb->s_type->i_mutex_key, which (combined with several other dependencies)
leads to an annoying lockdep warning.  There's no particular reason to do
the debugfs setup under this lock, so move it out.

It used to be the case that our first monmap could come from the OSD; that
is no longer the case with recent servers, so we will reliably set up the
client entry during the initial authentication.

We don't have to worry about racing with debugfs teardown by
ceph_debugfs_client_cleanup() because ceph_destroy_client() calls
ceph_msgr_flush() first, which will wait for the message dispatch work
to complete (and the debugfs init to complete).

Fixes: #1940
