[ Upstream commit 3595c559326d0b660bb088a88e22e0ca630a0e35 ]

The warning added in commit 3b0e761ba83
  "dlm: print log message when cluster name is not set"

did not account for the fact that lockspaces created
from userland do not supply a cluster name, so bogus
warnings are printed every time a userland lockspace
is created.

[ Upstream commit 9de30f3f7f4d31037cfbb7c787e1089c1944b3a7 ]

In copy_result_to_user(), we first create a struct dlm_lock_result, which
contains a struct dlm_lksb, the last member of which is a pointer to the
lvb. Unfortunately, we copy the entire struct dlm_lksb to the result
struct, which is then copied to userspace at the end of the function,
leaking the contents of sb_lvbptr, which is a valid kernel pointer in some
cases (indeed, later in the same function the data it points to is copied
to userspace).

It is an error to leak kernel pointers to userspace, as it undermines KASLR
protections (see e.g. 65eea8edc31 ("floppy: Do not copy a kernel pointer to
user memory in FDGETPRM ioctl") for another example of this).

<title>dlm: avoid double-free on error path in dlm_device_{register,unregister}</title>

commit 55acdd926f6b21a5cdba23da98a48aedf19ac9c3 upstream.

Can be reproduced when running dlm_controld (tested on 4.4.x, 4.12.4):
 # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool join
 # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool leave

misc_register fails due to duplicate sysfs entry, which causes
dlm_device_register to free ls-&gt;ls_device.name.
In dlm_device_deregister the name was freed again, causing memory
corruption.

According to the comment in dlm_device_deregister the name should've been
set to NULL when registration fails,
so this patch does that.

commit 55acdd926f6b21a5cdba23da98a48aedf19ac9c3 upstream.

Can be reproduced when running dlm_controld (tested on 4.4.x, 4.12.4):

misc_register fails due to duplicate sysfs entry, which causes
dlm_device_register to free ls-&gt;ls_device.name.
In dlm_device_deregister the name was freed again, causing memory
corruption.

According to the comment in dlm_device_deregister the name should've been
set to NULL when registration fails,
so this patch does that.

For a userland lock request, the previous and current
lock modes are used to decide when the lvb should be
copied back to the user.  The wrong previous value was
used, so that it always matched the current value.
This caused the lvb to be copied back to the user in
the wrong cases.

<title>char: make misc_deregister a void function</title>

With well over 200+ users of this api, there are a mere 12 users that
actually checked the return value of this function.  And all of them
really didn't do anything with that information as the system or module
was shutting down no matter what.

So stop pretending like it matters, and just return void from
misc_deregister().  If something goes wrong in the call, you will get a
WARNING splat in the syslog so you know how to fix up your driver.
Other than that, there's nothing that can go wrong.

<title>dlm: adopt orphan locks</title>

<content type='text'>
A process may exit, leaving an orphan lock in the lockspace.
This adds the capability for another process to acquire the
orphan lock.  Acquiring the orphan just moves the lock from
the orphan list onto the acquiring process's list of locks.

An adopting process must specify the resource name and mode
of the lock it wants to adopt.  If a matching lock is found,
the lock is moved to the caller's 's list of locks, and the
lkid of the lock is returned like the lkid of a new lock.

If an orphan with a different mode is found, then -EAGAIN is
returned.  If no orphan lock is found on the resource, then
-ENOENT is returned.  No async completion is used because
the result is immediately available.

Also, when orphans are purged, allow a zero nodeid to refer
to the local nodeid so the caller does not need to look up
the local nodeid.
