Commit abbbdf12497d ("replace kill_bdev() with __invalidate_device()")
once did this, but 29eaadc03649 ("nbd: stop using the bdev everywhere")
resurrected kill_bdev() and it has been there since then. So buffer_head
mappings still get killed on a server disconnection, and we can still
hit the BUG_ON on a filesystem on the top of the nbd device.

If the device is setup with ioctl we can resize the device after the
initial setup, but if the device is setup with netlink we cannot use the
resize related ioctls and there is no netlink reconfigure size ATTR
handling code.

This patch adds netlink reconfigure resize support to match the ioctl
interface.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-28

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Introduce BPF socket local storage map so that BPF programs can store
   private data they associate with a socket (instead of e.g. separate hash
   table), from Martin.

2) Add support for bpftool to dump BTF types. This is done through a new
   `bpftool btf dump` sub-command, from Andrii.

3) Enable BPF-based flow dissector for skb-less eth_get_headlen() calls which
   was currently not supported since skb was used to lookup netns, from Stanislav.

4) Add an opt-in interface for tracepoints to expose a writable context
   for attached BPF programs, used here for NBD sockets, from Matt.

5) BPF xadd related arm64 JIT fixes and scalability improvements, from Daniel.

6) Change the skb-&gt;protocol for bpf_skb_adjust_room() helper in order to
   support tunnels such as sit. Add selftests as well, from Willem.

7) Various smaller misc fixes.

Add options to strictly validate messages and dump messages,
sometimes perhaps validating dump messages non-strictly may
be required, so add an option for that as well.

Since none of this can really be applied to existing commands,
set the options everwhere using the following spatch:

    @@
    identifier ops;
    expression X;
    @@
    struct genl_ops ops[] = {
    ...,
     {
            .cmd = X,
    +       .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT | GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_DUMP,
            ...
     },
    ...
    };

For new commands one should just not copy the .validate 'opt-out'
flags and thus get strict validation.

<title>netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness</title>
<updated>2019-04-27T21:07:21+00:00</updated>

<name>Johannes Berg</name>
<email>johannes.berg@intel.com</email>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c'/>
<id>8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:
    @@
    expression TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT;
    @@
    -nla_parse(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT)
    +nla_parse_deprecated(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT)

    expression NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT;

    @@
    -nlmsg_parse_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT)
    +nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT)

    @@
    expression TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT;
    @@
    -nla_parse_nested(TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT)

    expression START, MAX, POL, EXT;
    @@
    -nla_validate_nested(START, MAX, POL, EXT)
    +nla_validate_nested_deprecated(START, MAX, POL, EXT)

    @@
    -nlmsg_validate(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT)
    +nlmsg_validate_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT)

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

<title>netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag</title>

Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.

Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
this semantic patch:

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start(E1, E2)
+nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2)

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2 | NLA_F_NESTED)

<title>nbd: add tracepoints for send/receive timing</title>

This adds four tracepoints to nbd, enabling separate tracing of payload
and header sending/receipt.

In the send path for headers that have already been sent, we also
explicitly initialize the handle so it can be referenced by the later
tracepoint.

This adds a tracepoint that can both observe the nbd request being sent
to the server, as well as modify that request , e.g., setting a flag in
the request that will cause the server to collect detailed tracing data.

The struct request * being handled is included to permit correlation
with the block tracepoints.
