There are a couple of places in this code where these values can wrap or
go negative, and that could potentially end up overflowing the buffer.
Ensure that that doesn't happen. Do all of the length calculation and
checks first, and only perform the memcpy after they pass.
Also, increase some stack variables to 32 bits to ensure that they don't
wrap without being detected.
Finally, change the error codes to be a bit more descriptive of any
problems detected. -EINVAL isn't very accurate.

It's possible that when we go to decode the string area in the
SESSION_SETUP response, that bytes_remaining will be 0. Decrementing it at
that point will mean that it can go "negative" and wrap. Check for a
bytes_remaining value of 0, and don't try to decode the string area if
that's the case.

The buffer length checks in this function depend on this value being a

Also, eliminate a problem with the null termination check in the same

already, and the existing check could potentially lead to a buffer

This is more or less the same patch as before, but with some merge
conflicts fixed up.
If a process has a dirty page mapped into its page tables, then it has
the ability to change it while the client is trying to write the data
out to the server. If that happens after the signature has been
calculated then that signature will then be wrong, and the server will
likely reset the TCP connection.
This patch adds a page_mkwrite handler for CIFS that simply takes the
page lock. Because the page lock is held over the life of writepage and
writepages, this prevents the page from becoming writeable until
the write call has completed.
With this, we can also remove the "sign_zero_copy" module option and
always inline the pages when writing.

When the TCP_Server_Info is first allocated and connected, tcpStatus ==
CifsGood means that the NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL request has completed and the
socket is ready for other calls. cifs_reconnect however sets tcpStatus
to CifsGood as soon as the socket is reconnected and the optional
RFC1001 session setup is done. We have no clear way to tell the
difference between these two states, and we need to know this in order
to know whether we can send an echo or not.
Resolve this by adding a new statusEnum value -- CifsNeedNegotiate. When
the socket has been connected but has not yet had a NEGOTIATE_PROTOCOL
request done, set it to this value. Once the NEGOTIATE is done,
cifs_negotiate_protocol will set tcpStatus to CifsGood.
This also fixes and cleans the logic in cifs_reconnect and
cifs_reconnect_tcon. The old code checked for specific states when what
it really wants to know is whether the state has actually changed from
CifsNeedReconnect.

While testing my patchset to fix asynchronous writes, I hit a bunch

to be that signature checks on receive can be running at the same
time as a process that is sending, or even that multiple receives can
be checking signatures at the same time, clobbering the same data
structures.
While we're at it, clean up the comments over cifs_calculate_signature

Commit 522440ed made cifs set backing_dev_info on the mapping attached
to new inodes. This change caused a fairly significant read performance
regression, as cifs started doing page-sized reads exclusively.
By virtue of the fact that they're allocated as part of cifs_sb_info by
kzalloc, the ra_pages on cifs BDIs get set to 0, which prevents any
readahead. This forces the normal read codepaths to use readpage instead
of readpages causing a four-fold increase in the number of read calls
with the default rsize.
Fix it by setting ra_pages in the BDI to the same value as that in the
default_backing_dev_info.

Currently, we skip doing the is_path_accessible check in cifs_mount if

so the is_path_accessible check was not triggered and the box later hit
a BUG() because we were chasing a DFS referral on the root dentry for
the mount.
This patch fixes this by removing the check for a zero-length

this situation and should allow the client to chase the DFS referral at

This flag currently only affects whether we allow "zero-copy" writes
with signing enabled. Typically we map pages in the pagecache directly
into the write request. If signing is enabled however and the contents
of the page change after the signature is calculated but before the
write is sent then the signature will be wrong. Servers typically
respond to this by closing down the socket.
Still, this can provide a performance benefit so the "Experimental" flag
was overloaded to allow this. That's really not a good place for this
option however since it's not clear what that flag does.
Move that flag instead to a new module parameter that better describes
its purpose. That's also better since it can be set at module insertion
time by configuring modprobe.d.

After receiving a packet, we currently check the header. If it's no
good, then we toss it out and continue the loop, leaving the caller
waiting on that response.
In cases where the packet has length inconsistencies, but the MID is
valid, this leads to unneeded delays. That's especially problematic now
that the client waits indefinitely for responses.
Instead, don't immediately discard the packet if checkSMB fails. Try to

When the socket to the server is disconnected, the client more or less
immediately calls cifs_reconnect to reconnect the socket. The NegProt
and SessSetup however are not done until an actual call needs to be
made.
With the addition of the SMB echo code, it's possible that the server
will initiate a disconnect on an idle socket. The client will then
reconnect the socket but no NegotiateProtocol request is done. The
SMBEcho workqueue job will then eventually pop, and an SMBEcho will be
sent on the socket. The server will then reject it since no NegProt was
done.
The ideal fix would be to either have the socket not be reconnected
until we plan to use it, or to immediately do a NegProt when the
reconnect occurs. The code is not structured for this however. For now
we must just settle for not sending any echoes until the NegProt is
done.

Prevent the reuse of mids by marking them as cancelled and keeping them

A container is a chroot on steroids that changes more than just the root
filesystem the new processes see. One thing containers can isolate is
"network namespaces", meaning each container can have its own set of
ethernet interfaces, each with its own own IP address and routing to the
outside world. And if you open a socket in _userspace_ from processes
within such a container, this works fine.
But sockets opened from within the kernel still use a single global
networking context in a lot of places, meaning the new socket's address
and routing are correct for PID 1 on the host, but are _not_ what
userspace processes in the container get to use.
So when you mount a network filesystem from within in a container, the
mount code in the CIFS driver uses the host's networking context and not
the container's networking context, so it gets the wrong address, uses
the wrong routing, and may even try to go out an interface that the
container can't even access... Bad stuff.
This patch copies the mount process's network context into the CIFS
structure that stores the rest of the server information for that mount
point, and changes the socket open code to use the saved network context
instead of the global network context. I.E. "when you attempt to use
these addresses, do so relative to THIS set of network interfaces and
routing rules, not the old global context from back before we supported
containers".
The big long HOWTO sets up a test environment on the assumption you've
never used ocntainers before. It basically says:
1) configure and build a new kernel that has container support
2) build a new root filesystem that includes the userspace container
control package (LXC)
3) package/run them under KVM (so you don't have to mess up your host
system in order to play with containers).
4) set up some containers under the KVM system
5) set up contradictory routing in the KVM system and the container so
that the host and the container see different things for the same address
6) try to mount a CIFS share from both contexts so you can both force it
to work and force it to fail.
