2011-03-10nfs: close NFSv4 COMMIT vs. CLOSE raceJeff Layton
I've been adding in more artificial delays in the NFSv4 commit and close codepaths to uncover races. The kernel I'm testing has the patch to close the race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task that's in Trond's cthon2011 branch. The reproducer I've been using does this in a loop: mkdir("DIR"); fd = open("DIR/FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644); write(fd, "abcdefg", 7); close(fd); unlink("DIR/FILE"); rmdir("DIR"); The above reproducer shouldn't result in any silly-renaming. However, when I add a "msleep(100)" just after the nfs_commit_clear_lock call in nfs_commit_release, I can almost always force one to occur. If I can force it to occur with that, then it can happen without that delay given the right timing. nfs_commit_inode waits for the NFS_INO_COMMIT bit to clear when called with FLUSH_SYNC set. nfs_commit_rpcsetup on the other hand does not wait for the task to complete before putting its reference to it, so the last reference get put in rpc_release task and gets queued to a workqueue. In this situation, the last open context reference may be put by the COMMIT release instead of the close() syscall. The close() syscall returns too quickly and the unlink runs while the d_count is still high since the COMMIT release hasn't put its dentry reference yet. Fix this by having rpc_commit_rpcsetup wait for the RPC call to complete before putting the task reference when FLUSH_SYNC is set. With this, the last reference is put by the process that's initiating the FLUSH_SYNC commit and the race is closed.

2011-03-10SUNRPC: Close a race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()Trond Myklebust
Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation (i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck() and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released. For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(), followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously. This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically. In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between the waiting process and rpciod. The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock, and immediately free up the rpc_task. Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new helper: rpc_put_task_async().

2011-03-10fs/dcache: allow d_obtain_alias() to return unhashed dentriesJ. Bruce Fields
Without this patch, inodes are not promptly freed on last close of an unlinked file by an nfs client: client$ mount -tnfs4 server:/export/ /mnt/ client$ tail -f /mnt/FOO ... server$ df -i /export server$ rm /export/FOO (^C the tail -f) server$ df -i /export server$ echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches server$ df -i /export the df's will show that the inode is not freed on the filesystem until the last step, when it could have been freed after killing the client's tail -f. On-disk data won't be deallocated either, leading to possible spurious ENOSPC. This occurs because when the client does the close, it arrives in a compound with a putfh and a close, processed like: - putfh: look up the filehandle.  The only alias found for the inode will be DCACHE_UNHASHED alias referenced by the filp this, so it creates a new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry and returns that instead. - close: closes the existing filp, which is destroyed immediately by dput() since it's DCACHE_UNHASHED. - end of the compound: release the reference to the current filehandle, and dput() the new DCACHE_DISCONECTED dentry, which gets put on the unused list instead of being destroyed immediately. Nick Piggin suggested fixing this by allowing d_obtain_alias to return the unhashed dentry that is referenced by the filp, instead of making it create a new dentry. Leave __d_find_alias() alone to avoid changing behavior of other callers. Also nfsd doesn't need all the checks of __d_find_alias(); any dentry, hashed or unhashed, disconnected or not, should work.

2011-03-10Check for immutable/append flag in fallocate pathMarco Stornelli
In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.

2011-03-09ipv6: Don't create clones of host routes.David S. Miller
Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29252 Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30462 In commit d80bc0fd262ef840ed4e82593ad6416fa1ba3fc4 ("ipv6: Always clone offlink routes.") we forced the kernel to always clone offlink routes. The reason we do that is to make sure we never bind an inetpeer to a prefixed route. The logic turned on here has existed in the tree for many years, but was always off due to a protecting CPP define. So perhaps it's no surprise that there is a logic bug here. The problem is that we canot clone a route that is already a host route (ie. has DST_HOST set). Because if we do, an identical entry already exists in the routing tree and therefore the ip6_rt_ins() call is going to fail. This sets off a series of failures and high cpu usage, because when ip6_rt_ins() fails we loop retrying this operation a few times in order to handle a race between two threads trying to clone and insert the same host route at the same time. Fix this by simply using the route as-is when DST_HOST is set. Reported-by: slash@ac.auone-net.jp Reported-by: Ernst Sjöstrand <ernstp@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-03-10net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modulesVasiliy Kulikov
Since a8f80e8ff94ecba629542d9b4b5f5a8ee3eb565c any process with CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/. This doesn't mean that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are limited to /lib/modules/**. However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't allow anybody load any module not related to networking. This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules with explicit aliases. This fixes CVE-2011-1019. Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

This feature triggers nasty races in the scheduler between the rebuilding of the topology and the load balancing code, causing the machine to hang. Disable it for now until the races are fixed. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-03-10powerpc/iseries: Fix early init access to lppacaBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The combination of commit 8154c5d22d91cd16bd9985b0638c8957e4688d0e and 93c22703efa72c7527dbd586d1951c1f4a85fd70 Broke boot on iSeries. The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage). However, the first patch above makes that code use the new llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to use the PACA array. We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines. Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized in our early startup code. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
