The struct nfs_server gets put on the cl_superblocks list before the server->super field has been initialised, in which case the call to nfs_sb_active() will Oops. Add a check to ensure that we skip such a list entry. Fixes: 3c9e502b ("NFS: Add a helper nfs_client_for_each_server()") Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

NFSoRDMA Client Fixes for Linux 5.7 Bugfixes: - Restore wake-up-all to rpcrdma_cm_event_handler() - Otherwise the client won't respond to server disconnect requests - Fix tracepoint use-after-free race - Fix usage of xdr_stream_encode_item_{present, absent} - These functions return a size on success, and not 0 Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

Currently, if the client sends BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION with NFS4_CDFC4_FORE_OR_BOTH but only gets NFS4_CDFS4_FORE back it ignores that it wasn't able to enable a backchannel. To make sure, the client sends BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION as the first operation on the connections (ie., no other session compounds haven't been sent before), and if the client's request to bind the backchannel is not satisfied, then reset the connection and retry.

The rpciod workqueue is on the write-out path for freeing dirty memory, so it is important that it never block waiting for memory to be allocated - this can lead to a deadlock. rpc_execute() - which is often called by an rpciod work item - calls rcp_task_release_client() which can lead to rpc_free_client(). rpc_free_client() makes two calls which could potentially block wating for memory allocation. rpc_clnt_debugfs_unregister() calls into debugfs and will block while any of the debugfs files are being accessed. In particular it can block while any of the 'open' methods are being called and all of these use malloc for one thing or another. So this can deadlock if the memory allocation waits for NFS to complete some writes via rpciod. rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir() can take the inode_lock() and while it isn't obvious that memory allocations can happen while the lock it held, it is safer to assume they might and to not let rpciod call rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir(). So this patch moves these two calls (together with the final kfree() and rpciod_down()) into a work-item to be run from the system work-queue. rpciod can continue its important work, and the final stages of the free can happen whenever they happen. I have seen this deadlock on a 4.12 based kernel where debugfs used synchronize_srcu() when removing objects. synchronize_srcu() requires a workqueue and there were no free workther threads and none could be allocated. While debugsfs no longer uses SRCU, I believe the deadlock is still possible. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

nfs4_proc_layoutget() invokes rpc_run_task(), which return the value to "task".

It's not safe to use resources pointed to by the @send_wr of ib_post_send() _after_ that function returns. Those resources are typically freed by the Send completion handler, which can run before ib_post_send() returns. Thus the trace points currently around ib_post_send() in the client's RPC/RDMA transport are a hazard, even when they are disabled. Rearrange them so that they touch the Work Request only _before_ ib_post_send() is invoked.

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to become split again. However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted, and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment. There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong. We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of the munmap at the start of the mremap. A really simple repro can be seen in: https://gist.github.com/bgaff/e101ce99da7d9a8c60acc641d07f312c Fixes: e346b381 ("mm/mremap: add MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to mremap()") Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
