There's a race between afs_make_call() and afs_wake_up_async_call() in the case that an error is returned from rxrpc_kernel_send_data() after it has queued the final packet. afs_make_call() will try and clean up the mess, but the call state may have been moved on thereby causing afs_process_async_call() to also try and to delete the call. Fix this by: (1) Getting an extra ref for an asynchronous call for the call itself to hold. This makes sure the call doesn't evaporate on us accidentally and will allow the call to be retained by the caller in a future patch. The ref is released on leaving afs_make_call() or afs_wait_for_call_to_complete(). (2) In the event of an error from rxrpc_kernel_send_data(): (a) Don't set the call state to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE until *after* the call has been aborted and ended. This prevents afs_deliver_to_call() from doing anything with any notifications it gets. (b) Explicitly end the call immediately to prevent further callbacks. (c) Cancel any queued async_work and wait for the work if it's executing. This allows us to be sure the race won't recur when we change the state. We put the work queue's ref on the call if we managed to cancel it. (d) Put the call's ref that we got in (1). This belongs to us as long as the call is in state AFS_CALL_CL_REQUESTING.

Fix the refcounting of the authentication keys in the file locking code. The vnode->lock_key member points to a key on which it expects to be holding a ref, but it isn't always given an extra ref, however. Fixes: 0fafdc9f ("afs: Fix file locking") Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

A cb_interest record is not necessarily attached to the vnode on entry to afs_validate(), which can cause an oops when we try to bring the vnode's cb_s_break up to date in the default case (ie. no current callback promise and the vnode has not been deleted). Fix this by simply removing the line, as vnode->cb_s_break will be set when needed by afs_register_server_cb_interest() when we next get a callback promise from RPC call. The oops looks something like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 ... RIP: 0010:afs_validate+0x66/0x250 [kafs] ...

A lock type of 0 is "LockRead", which makes the fileserver record an unintentional read lock on the new file. This will cause problems later on if the file is the subject of locking operations. The correct default value should be -1 ("LockNone"). Fix the operation marshalling code to set the value and provide an enum to symbolise the values whilst we're at it.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; }; instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

The commit 594cc251 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'") exposed incorrect implementations of access_ok() macro in several architectures. This change fixes 2 issues found in OpenRISC. OpenRISC was not properly using parenthesis for arguments and also using arguments twice. This patch fixes those 2 issues. I test booted this patch with v5.0-rc1 on qemu and it's working fine.

Nevertheless, the possibility exists and so it's best to avoid the problem. This patch flags a zone as needing a kswapd using the, surprisingly, unused zone flag field. The flag is read without the lock held to do the wakeup. It's possible that the flag setting context is not the same as the flag clearing context or for small races to occur. However, each race possibility is harmless and there is no visible degredation in fragmentation treatment. While zone->flag could have continued to be unused, there is potential for moving some existing fields into the flags field instead. Particularly read-mostly ones like zone->initialized and zone->contiguous.

LTP proc01 testcase has been observed to rarely trigger crashes on arm64: page_mapped+0x78/0xb4 stable_page_flags+0x27c/0x338 kpageflags_read+0xfc/0x164 proc_reg_read+0x7c/0xb8 __vfs_read+0x58/0x178 vfs_read+0x90/0x14c SyS_read+0x60/0xc0 The issue is that page_mapped() assumes that if compound page is not huge, then it must be THP. But if this is 'normal' compound page (COMPOUND_PAGE_DTOR), then following loop can keep running (for HPAGE_PMD_NR iterations) until it tries to read from memory that isn't mapped and triggers a panic: for (i = 0; i < hpage_nr_pages(page); i++) { if (atomic_read(&page[i]._mapcount) >= 0) return true; } I could replicate this on x86 (v4.20-rc4-98-g60b54823) only with a custom kernel module [1] which: - allocates compound page (PAGEC) of order 1 - allocates 2 normal pages (COPY), which are initialized to 0xff (to satisfy _mapcount >= 0) - 2 PAGEC page structs are copied to address of first COPY page - second page of COPY is marked as not present - call to page_mapped(COPY) now triggers fault on access to 2nd COPY page at offset 0x30 (_mapcount) [1] https://github.com/jstancek/reproducers/blob/master/kernel/page_mapped_crash/repro.c Fix the loop to iterate for "1 << compound_order" pages.

Right now tag-based KASAN can retag the memory that is reallocated via krealloc and return a differently tagged pointer even if the same slab object gets used and no reallocated technically happens. There are a few issues with this approach. One is that krealloc callers can't rely on comparing the return value with the passed argument to check whether reallocation happened. Another is that if a caller knows that no reallocation happened, that it can access object memory through the old pointer, which leads to false positives. Look at nf_ct_ext_add() to see an example. Fix this by keeping the same tag if the memory don't actually gets reallocated during krealloc.

That in turn hits a memory limit reclaim and the memcg reclaim for legacy controller is waiting on the writeback but that is never going to finish because the writeback itself is waiting for the page locked in the #PF path. So this is essentially ABBA deadlock: lock_page(A) SetPageWriteback(A) unlock_page(A) lock_page(B) lock_page(B) pte_alloc_pne shrink_page_list wait_on_page_writeback(A) SetPageWriteback(B) unlock_page(B) # flush A, B to clear the writeback This accumulating of more pages to flush is used by several filesystems to generate a more optimal IO patterns. Waiting for the writeback in legacy memcg controller is a workaround for pre-mature OOM killer invocations because there is no dirty IO throttling available for the controller. There is no easy way around that unfortunately. Therefore fix this specific issue by pre-allocating the page table outside of the page lock. We have that handy infrastructure for that already so simply reuse the fault-around pattern which already does this. There are probably other hidden __GFP_ACCOUNT | GFP_KERNEL allocations from under a fs page locked but they should be really rare. I am not aware of a better solution unfortunately.

It is easy to trigger this with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN=y, usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to spans multiple pages (offset 0, size 23)! kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!

Commit 5eed6f1d ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge fail") fixes a crash caused due to failed memcg charge of the kernel stack. However the fix misses the cached_stacks case which this patch fixes. So, the same crash can happen if the memcg charge of a cached stack is failed.

This patch includes some fixes and cleanup for idle-page writeback. 1. writeback_limit interface Now writeback_limit interface is rather conusing. For example, once writeback limit budget is exausted, admin can see 0 from /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit which is same semantic with disable writeback_limit at this moment. IOW, admin cannot tell that zero came from disable writeback limit or exausted writeback limit. To make the interface clear, let's sepatate enable of writeback limit to another knob - /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit_enable * before: while true : # to re-enable writeback limit once previous one is used up echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit .. .. # used up the writeback limit budget * new # To enable writeback limit, from the beginning, admin should # enable it. echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit echo 1 > /sys/block/zram/0/writeback_limit_enable while true : echo $((200<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit .. .. # used up the writeback limit budget It's much strightforward. 2. fix condition check idle/huge writeback mode check The mode in writeback_store is not bit opeartion any more so no need to use bit operations. Furthermore, current condition check is broken in that it does writeback every pages regardless of huge/idle. 3. clean up idle_store No need to use goto.

This changes the fork(2) syscall to record the process start_time after initializing the basic task structure but still before making the new process visible to user-space. Technically, we could record the start_time anytime during fork(2). But this might lead to scenarios where a start_time is recorded long before a process becomes visible to user-space. For instance, with userfaultfd(2) and TLS, user-space can delay the execution of fork(2) for an indefinite amount of time (and will, if this causes network access, or similar). By recording the start_time late, it much closer reflects the point in time where the process becomes live and can be observed by other processes. Lastly, this makes it much harder for user-space to predict and control the start_time they get assigned. Previously, user-space could fork a process and stall it in copy_thread_tls() before its pid is allocated, but after its start_time is recorded. This can be misused to later-on cycle through PIDs and resume the stalled fork(2) yielding a process that has the same pid and start_time as a process that existed before. This can be used to circumvent security systems that identify processes by their pid+start_time combination. Even though user-space was always aware that start_time recording is flaky (but several projects are known to still rely on start_time-based identification), changing the start_time to be recorded late will help mitigate existing attacks and make it much harder for user-space to control the start_time a process gets assigned.

The semantics of what "in core" means for the mincore() system call are somewhat unclear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page cache" rather than "page is mapped in the mapping". The problem with that traditional semantic is that it exposes a lot of system cache state that it really probably shouldn't, and that users shouldn't really even care about. So let's try to avoid that information leak by simply changing the semantics to be that mincore() counts actual mapped pages, not pages that might be cheaply mapped if they were faulted (note the "might be" part of the old semantics: being in the cache doesn't actually guarantee that you can access them without IO anyway, since things like network filesystems may have to revalidate the cache before use). In many ways the old semantics were somewhat insane even aside from the information leak issue. From the very beginning (and that beginning is a long time ago: 2.3.52 was released in March 2000, I think), the code had a comment saying Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely. and this is that "later". Admittedly it is much later than is really comfortable. NOTE! This is a real semantic change, and it is for example known to change the output of "fincore", since that program literally does a mmmap without populating it, and then doing "mincore()" on that mapping that doesn't actually have any pages in it. I'm hoping that nobody actually has any workflow that cares, and the info leak is real. We may have to do something different if it turns out that people have valid reasons to want the old semantics, and if we can limit the information leak sanely.

Commit 594cc251 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'") broke both alpha and SH booting in qemu, as noticed by Guenter Roeck. It turns out that the bug wasn't actually in that commit itself (which would have been surprising: it was mostly a no-op), but in how the addition of access_ok() to the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() functions now triggered the case where those functions would test the access of the very last byte of the user address space. The string functions actually did that user range test before too, but they did it manually by just comparing against user_addr_max(). But with user_access_begin() doing the check (using "access_ok()"), it now exposed problems in the architecture implementations of that function. For example, on alpha, the access_ok() helper macro looked like this: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ ((get_fs().seg & (addr | size | (addr+size))) == 0) and what it basically tests is of any of the high bits get set (the USER_DS masking value is 0xfffffc0000000000). And that's completely wrong for the "addr+size" check. Because it's off-by-one for the case where we check to the very end of the user address space, which is exactly what the strn*_user() functions do. Why? Because "addr+size" will be exactly the size of the address space, so trying to access the last byte of the user address space will fail the __access_ok() check, even though it shouldn't. As a result, the user string accessor functions failed consistently - because they literally don't know how long the string is going to be, and the max access is going to be that last byte of the user address space. Side note: that alpha macro is buggy for another reason too - it re-uses the arguments twice. And SH has another version of almost the exact same bug: #define __addr_ok(addr) \ ((unsigned long __force)(addr) < current_thread_info()->addr_limit.seg) so far so good: yes, a user address must be below the limit. But then: #define __access_ok(addr, size) \ (__addr_ok((addr) + (size))) is wrong with the exact same off-by-one case: the case when "addr+size" is exactly _equal_ to the limit is actually perfectly fine (think "one byte access at the last address of the user address space") The SH version is actually seriously buggy in another way: it doesn't actually check for overflow, even though it did copy the _comment_ that talks about overflow. So it turns out that both SH and alpha actually have completely buggy implementations of access_ok(), but they happened to work in practice (although the SH overflow one is a serious serious security bug, not that anybody likely cares about SH security). This fixes the problems by using a similar macro on both alpha and SH. It isn't trying to be clever, the end address is based on this logic: unsigned long __ao_end = __ao_a + __ao_b - !!__ao_b; which basically says "add start and length, and then subtract one unless the length was zero". We can't subtract one for a zero length, or we'd just hit an underflow instead. For a lot of access_ok() users the length is a constant, so this isn't actually as expensive as it initially looks.

Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt. Adiantum is a tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound. It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS. See the paper "Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors" (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details. Also see commit 059c2a4d ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support"). On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and the NH hash function. These algorithms are fast even on processors without dedicated crypto instructions. Adiantum makes it feasible to enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted. On ARM Cortex-A7, on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster. In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and names. With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in a directory share a common prefix of >= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information. Adiantum does not have this problem. Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode. This configuration saves memory and improves performance. A new fscrypt policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration.
