[ Upstream commit 85a6a1aff08ec9f5b929d345d066e2830e8818e5 ]

The 'TAG 66 Packet Format' description is missing the cipher code and
checksum fields that are packed into the message packet. As a result,
the buffer allocated for the packet is 3 bytes too small and
write_tag_66_packet() will write up to 3 bytes past the end of the
buffer.

Fix this by increasing the size of the allocation so the whole packet
will always fit in the buffer.

This fixes the below kasan slab-out-of-bounds bug:

Even though it seems to be able to resolve some names of
case-insensitive directories, the lack of d_hash and d_compare means we
end up with a broken state in the d_cache.  Considering it was never a
goal to support these two together, and we are preparing to use
d_revalidate in case-insensitive filesystems, which would make the
combination even more broken, reject any attempt to get a casefolded
inode from ecryptfs.

... and fix the directory locking documentation and proof of correctness.
Holding -&gt;s_vfs_rename_mutex *almost* prevents -&gt;d_parent changes; the
case where we really don't want it is splicing the root of disconnected
tree to somewhere.

In other words, -&gt;s_vfs_rename_mutex is sufficient to stabilize "X is an
ancestor of Y" only if X and Y are already in the same tree.  Otherwise
it can go from false to true, and one can construct a deadlock on that.

Make lock_two_directories() report an error in such case and update the
callers of lock_rename()/lock_rename_child() to handle such errors.

And yes, such conditions are not impossible to create ;-/

<title>fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface function</title>

<id>8a924db2d7b5eb69ba08b1a0af46e9f1359a9bdf</id>
<content type='text'>
When vfs_getattr_nosec() calls a filesystem's getattr interface function
then the 'nosec' should propagate into this function so that
vfs_getattr_nosec() can again be called from the filesystem's gettattr
rather than vfs_getattr(). The latter would add unnecessary security
checks that the initial vfs_getattr_nosec() call wanted to avoid.
Therefore, introduce the getattr flag GETATTR_NOSEC and allow to pass
with the new getattr_flags parameter to the getattr interface function.
In overlayfs and ecryptfs use this flag to determine which one of the
two functions to call.

In a recent code change introduced to IMA vfs_getattr_nosec() ended up
calling vfs_getattr() in overlayfs, which in turn called
security_inode_getattr() on an exiting process that did not have
current-&gt;fs set anymore, which then caused a kernel NULL pointer
dereference. With this change the call to security_inode_getattr() can
be avoided, thus avoiding the NULL pointer dereference.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual filesystems.

  Features:

   - Block mode changes on symlinks and rectify our broken semantics

   - Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice

   - Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel
     command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
     always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up

   - Use synchronous fput for the close system call

  Cleanups:

   - Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
     and replace it all with a single consolidated helper

   - Simplify epoll allocation helper

   - Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio

   - Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio

   - Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking

   - Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus

   - Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api

   - Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code

   - Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
     vfs

   - Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()

  Fixes:

   - Fix various kernel-doc issues

   - Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE

   - Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts

   - Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs

   - Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec

   - Fix integer conversion issues in various functions

   - Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented
     NFS superblock sharing"
