dc107402ae SUNRPC: make AF_LOCAL connect synchronous
It doesn't appear that anyone actually needs to connect asynchronously.

Also, using a workqueue for the connect means we lose the namespace
information from the original process.  This is a problem since there's
no way to explicitly pass in a filesystem namespace for resolution of an
AF_LOCAL address.

cc630d9f47 svcrpc: fix rpc server shutdown races
Rewrite server shutdown to remove the assumption that there are no
longer any threads running (no longer true, for example, when shutting
down the service in one network namespace while it's still running in
others).

Do that by doing what we'd do in normal circumstances: just CLOSE each
socket, then enqueue it.

Since there may not be threads to handle the resulting queued xprts,
also run a simplified version of the svc_recv() loop run by a server to
clean up any closed xprts afterwards.

e75bafbff2 svcrpc: make svc_age_temp_xprts enqueue under sv_lock
svc_age_temp_xprts expires xprts in a two-step process: first it takes
the sv_lock and moves the xprts to expire off their server-wide list
(sv_tempsocks or sv_permsocks) to a local list.  Then it drops the
sv_lock and enqueues and puts each one.

I see no reason for this: svc_xprt_enqueue() will take sp_lock, but the
sv_lock and sp_lock are not otherwise nested anywhere (and documentation
at the top of this file claims it's correct to nest these with sp_lock
inside.)

d94af6dea9 SUNRPC: move cache_detail->cache_request callback call to cache_read()
The reason to move cache_request() callback call from
sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() to cache_read() is that this garantees, that cache
access will be done userspace process context (only userspace process have
proper root context).
This is required for NFSd support in container: svc_export_request() (which is
cache_request callback) calls d_path(), which, in turn, traverse dentry up to
current->fs->root. Kernel threads always have global root, while container
have be in "root jail" - i.e. have it's own nested root.

2d4383383b SUNRPC: rework cache upcall logic
For most of SUNRPC caches (except NFS DNS cache) cache_detail->cache_upcall is
redundant since all that it's implementations are doing is calling
sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() with proper function address argument.
Cache request function address is now stored on cache_detail structure and
thus all the code can be simplified.
Now, for those cache details, which doesn't have cache_upcall callback (the
only one, which still has is nfs_dns_resolve_template)
sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall will be called instead.

4c190e2f91 sunrpc: trim off trailing checksum before returning decrypted or integrity authenticated buffer
When GSSAPI integrity signatures are in use, or when we're using GSSAPI
privacy with the v2 token format, there is a trailing checksum on the
xdr_buf that is returned.

It's checked during the authentication stage, and afterward nothing
cares about it. Ordinarily, it's not a problem since the XDR code
generally ignores it, but it will be when we try to compute a checksum
over the buffer to help prevent XID collisions in the duplicate reply
cache.

Fix the code to trim off the checksums after verifying them. Note that
in unwrap_integ_data, we must avoid trying to reverify the checksum if
the request was deferred since it will no longer be present when it's
revisited.

0fa6ebc600 libceph: fix protocol feature mismatch failure path
We should not set con->state to CLOSED here; that happens in
ceph_fault() in the caller, where it first asserts that the state
is not yet CLOSED.  Avoids a BUG when the features don't match.

Since the fail_protocol() has become a trivial wrapper, replace
calls to it with direct calls to reset_connection().

122070a2ff libceph: WARN, don't BUG on unexpected connection states
A number of assertions in the ceph messenger are implemented with
BUG_ON(), killing the system if connection's state doesn't match
what's expected.  At this point our state model is (evidently) not
well understood enough for these assertions to trigger a BUG().
Convert all BUG_ON(con->state...) calls to be WARN_ON(con->state...)
so we learn about these issues without killing the machine.

We now recognize that a connection fault can occur due to a socket
closure at any time, regardless of the state of the connection.  So
there is really nothing we can assert about the state of the
connection at that point so eliminate that assertion.

e6d50f67a6 libceph: always reset osds when kicking
When ceph_osdc_handle_map() is called to process a new osd map,
kick_requests() is called to ensure all affected requests are
updated if necessary to reflect changes in the osd map.  This
happens in two cases:  whenever an incremental map update is
processed; and when a full map update (or the last one if there is
more than one) gets processed.

In the former case, the kick_requests() call is followed immediately
by a call to reset_changed_osds() to ensure any connections to osds
affected by the map change are reset.  But for full map updates
this isn't done.

Both cases should be doing this osd reset.

Rather than duplicating the reset_changed_osds() call, move it into
the end of kick_requests().

ab60b16d3c libceph: move linger requests sooner in kick_requests()
The kick_requests() function is called by ceph_osdc_handle_map()
when an osd map change has been indicated.  Its purpose is to
re-queue any request whose target osd is different from what it
was when it was originally sent.

It is structured as two loops, one for incomplete but registered
requests, and a second for handling completed linger requests.
As a special case, in the first loop if a request marked to linger
has not yet completed, it is moved from the request list to the
linger list.  This is as a quick and dirty way to have the second
loop handle sending the request along with all the other linger
requests.

Because of the way it's done now, however, this quick and dirty
solution can result in these incomplete linger requests never
getting re-sent as desired.  The problem lies in the fact that
the second loop only arranges for a linger request to be sent
if it appears its target osd has changed.  This is the proper
handling for *completed* linger requests (it avoids issuing
the same linger request twice to the same osd).

But although the linger requests added to the list in the first loop
may have been sent, they have not yet completed, so they need to be
re-sent regardless of whether their target osd has changed.

The first required fix is we need to avoid calling __map_request()
on any incomplete linger request.  Otherwise the subsequent
__map_request() call in the second loop will find the target osd
has not changed and will therefore not re-send the request.

Second, we need to be sure that a sent but incomplete linger request
gets re-sent.  If the target osd is the same with the new osd map as
it was when the request was originally sent, this won't happen.
This can be fixed through careful handling when we move these
requests from the request list to the linger list, by unregistering
the request *before* it is registered as a linger request.  This
works because a side-effect of unregistering the request is to make
the request's r_osd pointer be NULL, and *that* will ensure the
second loop actually re-sends the linger request.

Processing of such a request is done at that point, so continue with
the next one once it's been moved.

(In ipip case the transport header is the inner ip header, so that's

Found by inspection. In practice the incorrect transport header
doesn't matter because the skb usually is sent to another net_device

c3ae62af8e tcp: should drop incoming frames without ACK flag set
In commit 96e0bf4b51 (tcp: Discard segments that ack data not yet
sent) John Dykstra enforced a check against ack sequences.

In commit 354e4aa391 (tcp: RFC 5961 5.2 Blind Data Injection Attack
Mitigation) I added more safety tests.

But we missed fact that these tests are not performed if ACK bit is
not set.

RFC 793 3.9 mandates TCP should drop a frame without ACK flag set.

" fifth check the ACK field,
      if the ACK bit is off drop the segment and return"

Not doing so permits an attacker to only guess an acceptable sequence
number, evading stronger checks.

Many thanks to Zhiyun Qian for bringing this issue to our attention.

143cdd8f33 batman-adv: fix random jitter calculation
batadv_iv_ogm_emit_send_time() attempts to calculates a random integer
in the range of 'orig_interval +- BATADV_JITTER' by the below lines.

        msecs = atomic_read(&bat_priv->orig_interval) - BATADV_JITTER;
        msecs += (random32() % 2 * BATADV_JITTER);

But it actually gets 'orig_interval' or 'orig_interval - BATADV_JITTER'
because '%' and '*' have same precedence and associativity is
left-to-right.

This adds the parentheses at the appropriate position so that it matches
original intension.

Bug is from arp_solicit(), releasing the neigh lock after arp_send()
In case of vxlan, we eventually need to write lock a neigh lock later.

Its a false positive, but we can get rid of it without lockdep
annotations.

We can instead use neigh_ha_snapshot() helper.

30e6c9fa93 net: devnet_rename_seq should be a seqcount
Using a seqlock for devnet_rename_seq is not a good idea,
as device_rename() can sleep.

As we hold RTNL, we dont need a protection for writers,
and only need a seqcount so that readers can catch a change done
by a writer.

 "Included this time:

   - NFSv4.1 progress: implementation of basic backchannel security

       http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues

     for remaining TODO's

   - Fixes for some bugs that could be triggered by unusual compounds.
     Our xdr code wasn't designed with v4 compounds in mind, and it
     shows.  A more thorough rewrite is still a todo.

   - If you've ever seen "RPC: multiple fragments per record not
     supported" logged while using some sort of odd userland NFS client,
     that should now be fixed.

   - Further work from Jeff Layton on our mechanism for storing
     information about NFSv4 clients across reboots.

   - Further work from Bryan Schumaker on his fault-injection mechanism
     (which allows us to discard selective NFSv4 state, to excercise
     rarely-taken recovery code paths in the client.)

   - The usual mix of miscellaneous bugs and cleanup.

  Thanks to everyone who tested or contributed this cycle."

a978fa20fb libceph: don't use rb_init_node() in ceph_osdc_alloc_request()
The red-black node in the ceph osd request structure is initialized
in ceph_osdc_alloc_request() using rbd_init_node().  We do need to
initialize this, because in __unregister_request() we call
RB_EMPTY_NODE(), which expects the node it's checking to have
been initialized.  But rb_init_node() is apparently overkill, and
may in fact be on its way out.  So use RB_CLEAR_NODE() instead.

28362986f8 libceph: report connection fault with warning
When a connection's socket disconnects, or if there's a protocol
error of some kind on the connection, a fault is signaled and
the connection is reset (closed and reopened, basically).  We
currently get an error message on the log whenever this occurs.

A ceph connection will attempt to reestablish a socket connection
repeatedly if a fault occurs.  This means that these error messages
will get repeatedly added to the log, which is undesirable.

Change the error message to be a warning, so they don't get
logged by default.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."
