Helen Chao <helen.chao@oracle.com> noticed that when a user traverses a referral on an NFS/RDMA mount, the resulting submount always uses TCP. This behavior does not match the vers= setting when traversing a referral (vers=4.1 is preserved). It also does not match the behavior of crossing from the pseudofs into a real filesystem (proto=rdma is preserved in that case). The Linux NFS client does not currently support the fs_locations_info attribute. The situation is similar for all NFSv4 servers I know of. Therefore until the community has broad support for fs_locations_info, when following a referral: - First try to connect with RPC-over-RDMA. This will fail quickly if the client has no RDMA-capable interfaces. - If connecting with RPC-over-RDMA fails, or the RPC-over-RDMA transport is not available, use TCP.

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_rqst.a_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.

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>): stap -v -g -e 'probe module("nfs_layout_nfsv41_files").function("nfs4_fl_prepare_ds").return { $return=NULL; exit(); }' Suggested-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com> Signed-off-by: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@redhat.com> Fixes: 1ca018d2 ("pNFS: Fix a memory leak when attempted pnfs fails") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pull char/misc fixes from Greg KH: "Here are two bugfixes for some driver bugs for 4.15-rc8 The first is a bluetooth security bug that has been ignored by the Bluetooth developers for months for no obvious reason at all, so I've taken it through my tree. The second is a simple double-free bug in the mux subsystem. Both have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'char-misc-4.15-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: mux: core: fix double get_device() Bluetooth: Prevent stack info leak from the EFS element.
