[ Upstream commit aadb22ba2f656581b2f733deb3a467c48cc618f6 ]

In get_initial_state, it calls notify_initial_state_done(skb,..) if
cb->args[5]==1. If genlmsg_put() failed in notify_initial_state_done(),
the skb will be freed by nlmsg_free(skb).
Then get_initial_state will goto out and the freed skb will be used by
return value skb->len, which is a uaf bug.

What's worse, the same problem goes even further: skb can also be
freed in the notify_*_state_change -> notify_*_state calls below.
Thus 4 additional uaf bugs happened.

My patch lets the problem callee functions: notify_initial_state_done
and notify_*_state_change return an error code if errors happen.
So that the error codes could be propagated and the uaf bugs can be avoid.

v2 reports a compilation warning. This v3 fixed this warning and built
successfully in my local environment with no additional warnings.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1435218/

drbd: fix potential silent data corruption 2022-04-15T12:18:01+00:00 Lars Ellenberg lars.ellenberg@linbit.com 2022-03-30T18:55:51+00:00 ded62776302663332a1e7a561649cfb39632cb72 commit f4329d1f848ac35757d9cc5487669d19dfc5979c upstream. Scenario: --------- bio chain generated by blk_queue_split(). Some split bio fails and propagates its error status to the "parent" bio.

commit f4329d1f848ac35757d9cc5487669d19dfc5979c upstream.

Scenario:
---------

bio chain generated by blk_queue_split().
Some split bio fails and propagates its error status to the "parent" bio.
But then the (last part of the) parent bio itself completes without error.

We would clobber the already recorded error status with BLK_STS_OK,
causing silent data corruption.

Reproducer:
-----------

How to trigger this in the real world within seconds:

DRBD on top of degraded parity raid,
small stripe_cache_size, large read_ahead setting.
Drop page cache (sysctl vm.drop_caches=1, fadvise "DONTNEED",
umount and mount again, "reboot").

Cause significant read ahead.

Large read ahead request is split by blk_queue_split().
Parts of the read ahead that are already in the stripe cache,
or find an available stripe cache to use, can be serviced.
Parts of the read ahead that would need "too much work",
would need to wait for a "stripe_head" to become available,
are rejected immediately.

For larger read ahead requests that are split in many pieces, it is very
likely that some "splits" will be serviced, but then the stripe cache is
exhausted/busy, and the remaining ones will be rejected.

signal: Allow cifs and drbd to receive their terminating signals 2019-08-19T11:34:13+00:00 Eric W.

I had overlooked the fact that by default kthreads start out with all signals set to SIG_IGN.

Reverting the work on force_sig is a bad idea because what the code was doing was very much a misuse of force_sig.

So correct this problem by adding allow_kernel_signal that will allow signals whose siginfo reports they were sent by the kernel through, but will not allow userspace generated signals, and update cifs and drbd to call allow_kernel_signal in an appropriate place so that their thread can receive this signal. Fixing things this way ensures that userspace won't be able to send signals and cause problems, that it is clear which signals the threads are expecting to receive, and it guarantees that nothing else in the system will be affected.

My recent to change to only use force_sig for a synchronous events
wound up breaking signal reception cifs and drbd.  I had overlooked
the fact that by default kthreads start out with all signals set to
SIG_IGN.  So a change I thought was safe turned out to have made it
impossible for those kernel thread to catch their signals.

Reverting the work on force_sig is a bad idea because what the code
was doing was very much a misuse of force_sig.  As the way force_sig
ultimately allowed the signal to happen was to change the signal
handler to SIG_DFL.  Which after the first signal will allow userspace
to send signals to these kernel threads.  At least for
wake_ack_receiver in drbd that does not appear actively wrong.

So correct this problem by adding allow_kernel_signal that will allow
signals whose siginfo reports they were sent by the kernel through,
but will not allow userspace generated signals, and update cifs and
drbd to call allow_kernel_signal in an appropriate place so that their
thread can receive this signal.

Fixing things this way ensures that userspace won't be able to send
signals and cause problems, that it is clear which signals the
threads are expecting to receive, and it guarantees that nothing
else in the system will be affected.

block: drbd: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions 2019-06-20T09:28:16+00:00 Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org 2019-06-18T15:45:49+00:00 d27e84a305980ac61df0a6841059d0eb09b8283d When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this.

signal/drbd: Use send_sig not force_sig 2019-05-27T14:36:28+00:00 Eric W. Biederman ebiederm@xmission.com 2019-02-05T23:25:02+00:00 fee109901f392a96189bd84a41845535a52bd94d The drbd module exclusively sends signals to kernel threads it creates with kthread_create. These kernel threads do not block or ignore signals (only flush signals after they have been delivered), nor can drbd threads possibly be pid namespace init processes so the extra work that force_sig performs that send_sig does not is unnecessary. Further force_sig is for delivering synchronous signals (aka exceptions). The locking in force_sig is not prepared to deal with running processes, as tsk->sighand may change during exec for a running process. In short it is not only unnecessary for drbd to use force_sig it is semantically wrong. With drbd using send_sig it becomes easier to maintain force_sig as only synchronous signals need to be considered.
