commit 473441720c8616dfaf4451f9c7ea14f0eb5e5d65 upstream.

Checking buf-&gt;flags should be done before the pipe_buf_release() is called
on the pipe buffer, since releasing the buffer might modify the flags.

This is exactly what page_cache_pipe_buf_release() does, and which results
in the same VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageLRU(page)) that the original patch was
trying to fix.

commit 712a951025c0667ff00b25afc360f74e639dfabe upstream.

It is possible to trigger a crash by splicing anon pipe bufs to the fuse
device.

The reason for this is that anon_pipe_buf_release() will reuse buf-&gt;page if
the refcount is 1, but that page might have already been stolen and its
flags modified (e.g. PG_lru added).

This happens in the unlikely case of fuse_dev_splice_write() getting around
to calling pipe_buf_release() after a page has been stolen, added to the
page cache and removed from the page cache.

Fix by calling pipe_buf_release() right after the page was inserted into
the page cache.  In this case the page has an elevated refcount so any
release function will know that the page isn't reusable.

[ Upstream commit e1e71c168813564be0f6ea3d6740a059ca42d177 ]

There is a potential race between fuse_read_interrupt() and
fuse_request_end().

TASK1
  in fuse_read_interrupt(): delete req-&gt;intr_entry (while holding
  fiq-&gt;lock)

TASK2
  in fuse_request_end(): req-&gt;intr_entry is empty -&gt; skip fiq-&gt;lock
  wake up TASK3

TASK3
  request is freed

TASK1
  in fuse_read_interrupt(): dereference req-&gt;in.h.unique ***BAM***

Fix by always grabbing fiq-&gt;lock if the request was ever interrupted
(FR_INTERRUPTED set) thereby serializing with concurrent
fuse_read_interrupt() calls.

FR_INTERRUPTED is set before the request is queued on fiq-&gt;interrupts.
Dequeing the request is done with list_del_init() but FR_INTERRUPTED is not
cleared in this case.

commit 59bda8ecee2ffc6a602b7bf2b9e43ca669cdbdcd upstream.

Callers of fuse_writeback_range() assume that the file is ready for
modification by the server in the supplied byte range after the call
returns.

If there's a write that extends the file beyond the end of the supplied
range, then the file needs to be extended to at least the end of the range,
but currently that's not done.

There are at least two cases where this can cause problems:

 - copy_file_range() will return short count if the file is not extended
   up to end of the source range.

 - FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE will not extend the file,
   hence the region may not be fully allocated.

Fix by flushing writes from the start of the range up to the end of the
file.  This could be optimized if the writes are non-extending, etc, but
it's probably not worth the trouble.

commit 76224355db7570cbe6b6f75c8929a1558828dd55 upstream.

fuse_finish_open() will be called with FUSE_NOWRITE in case of atomic
O_TRUNC.  This can deadlock with fuse_wait_on_page_writeback() in
fuse_launder_page() triggered by invalidate_inode_pages2().

Fix by replacing invalidate_inode_pages2() in fuse_finish_open() with a
truncate_pagecache() call.  This makes sense regardless of FOPEN_KEEP_CACHE
or fc-&gt;writeback cache, so do it unconditionally.

commit 80ef08670d4c28a06a3de954bd350368780bcfef upstream.

A request could end up on the fpq-&gt;io list after fuse_abort_conn() has
reset fpq-&gt;connected and aborted requests on that list:

Thread-1			  Thread-2
========			  ========
-&gt;fuse_simple_request()           -&gt;shutdown
  -&gt;__fuse_request_send()
    -&gt;queue_request()		-&gt;fuse_abort_conn()
-&gt;fuse_dev_do_read()                -&gt;acquire(fpq-&gt;lock)
  -&gt;wait_for(fpq-&gt;lock) 	  -&gt;set err to all req's in fpq-&gt;io
				  -&gt;release(fpq-&gt;lock)
  -&gt;acquire(fpq-&gt;lock)
  -&gt;add req to fpq-&gt;io

After the userspace copy is done the request will be ended, but
req-&gt;out.h.error will remain uninitialized.  Also the copy might block
despite being already aborted.

Fix both issues by not allowing the request to be queued on the fpq-&gt;io
list after fuse_abort_conn() has processed this list.

commit b89ecd60d38ec042d63bdb376c722a16f92bcb88 upstream.

Fix the "fuse: trying to steal weird page" warning.

Description from Johannes Weiner:

  "Think of it as similar to PG_active. It's just another usage/heat
   indicator of file and anon pages on the reclaim LRU that, unlike
   PG_active, persists across deactivation and even reclaim (we store it in
   the page cache / swapper cache tree until the page refaults).

   So if fuse accepts pages that can legally have PG_active set,
   PG_workingset is fine too."

[ Upstream commit 8217673d07256b22881127bf50dce874d0e51653 ]

For cloned connections cuse_channel_release() will be called more than
once, resulting in use after free.

Prevent device cloning for CUSE, which does not make sense at this point,
and highly unlikely to be used in real life.

commit 4f06dd92b5d0a6f8eec6a34b8d6ef3e1f4ac1e10 upstream.

There are two modes for write(2) and friends in fuse:

a) write through (update page cache, send sync WRITE request to userspace)

b) buffered write (update page cache, async writeout later)

The write through method kept all the page cache pages locked that were
used for the request.  Keeping more than one page locked is deadlock prone
and Qian Cai demonstrated this with trinity fuzzing.

The reason for keeping the pages locked is that concurrent mapped reads
shouldn't try to pull possibly stale data into the page cache.

For full page writes, the easy way to fix this is to make the cached page
be the authoritative source by marking the page PG_uptodate immediately.
After this the page can be safely unlocked, since mapped/cached reads will
take the written data from the cache.

Concurrent mapped writes will now cause data in the original WRITE request
to be updated; this however doesn't cause any data inconsistency and this
scenario should be exceedingly rare anyway.

If the WRITE request returns with an error in the above case, currently the
page is not marked uptodate; this means that a concurrent read will always
read consistent data.  After this patch the page is uptodate between
writing to the cache and receiving the error: there's window where a cached
read will read the wrong data.  While theoretically this could be a
regression, it is unlikely to be one in practice, since this is normal for
buffered writes.

In case of a partial page write to an already uptodate page the locking is
also unnecessary, with the above caveats.

Partial write of a not uptodate page still needs to be handled.  One way
would be to read the complete page before doing the write.  This is not
possible, since it might break filesystems that don't expect any READ
requests when the file was opened O_WRONLY.

The other solution is to serialize the synchronous write with reads from
the partial pages.  The easiest way to do this is to keep the partial pages
locked.  The problem is that a write() may involve two such pages (one head
and one tail).  This patch fixes it by only locking the partial tail page.
If there's a partial head page as well, then split that off as a separate
WRITE request.
