When mounting a user-space filesystem using io_uring, the initialization
of the rings is done separately in the server side.  If for some reason
(e.g. a server bug) this step is not performed it will be impossible to
unmount the filesystem if there are already requests waiting.

This issue is easily reproduced with the libfuse passthrough_ll example,
if the queue depth is set to '0' and a request is queued before trying to
unmount the filesystem.  When trying to force the unmount, fuse_abort_conn()
will try to wake up all tasks waiting in fc-&gt;blocked_waitq, but because the
rings were never initialized, fuse_uring_ready() will never return 'true'.

<title>fuse: fix uring race condition for null dereference of fc</title>

<id>d9ecc77193cad25402ff5517fb26fb22b4db0e10</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a race condition leading to a kernel crash from a null
dereference when attemping to access fc-&gt;lock in
fuse_uring_create_queue(). fc may be NULL in the case where another
thread is creating the uring in fuse_uring_create() and has set
fc-&gt;ring but has not yet set ring-&gt;fc when fuse_uring_create_queue()
reads ring-&gt;fc. There is another race condition as well where in
fuse_uring_register(), ring-&gt;nr_queues may still be 0 and not yet set
to the new value when we compare qid against it.

This fix sets fc-&gt;ring only after ring-&gt;fc and ring-&gt;nr_queues have been
set, which guarantees now that ring-&gt;fc is a proper pointer when any
queues are created and ring-&gt;nr_queues reflects the right number of
queues if ring is not NULL. We must use smp_store_release() and
smp_load_acquire() semantics to ensure the ordering will remain correct
where fc-&gt;ring is assigned only after ring-&gt;fc and ring-&gt;nr_queues have
been assigned.

<title>fs/pipe: add simpler helpers for common cases</title>

The fix to atomically read the pipe head and tail state when not holding
the pipe mutex has caused a number of headaches due to the size change
of the involved types.

It turns out that we don't have _that_ many places that access these
fields directly and were affected, but we have more than we strictly
should have, because our low-level helper functions have been designed
to have intimate knowledge of how the pipes work.

And as a result, that random noise of direct 'pipe-&gt;head' and
'pipe-&gt;tail' accesses makes it harder to pinpoint any actual potential
problem spots remaining.

For example, we didn't have a "is the pipe full" helper function, but
instead had a "given these pipe buffer indexes and this pipe size, is
the pipe full".  That's because some low-level pipe code does actually
want that much more complicated interface.

But most other places literally just want a "is the pipe full" helper,
and not having it meant that those places ended up being unnecessarily
much too aware of this all.

It would have been much better if only the very core pipe code that
cared had been the one aware of this all.

So let's fix it - better late than never.  This just introduces the
trivial wrappers for "is this pipe full or empty" and to get how many
pipe buffers are used, so that instead of writing

        if (pipe_full(pipe-&gt;head, pipe-&gt;tail, pipe-&gt;max_usage))

the places that literally just want to know if a pipe is full can just
say

        if (pipe_is_full(pipe))

instead.  The existing trivial cases were converted with a 'sed' script.

This cuts down on the places that access pipe-&gt;head and pipe-&gt;tail
directly outside of the pipe code (and core splice code) quite a lot.

The splice code in particular still revels in doing the direct low-level
accesses, and the fuse fuse_dev_splice_write() code also seems a bit
unnecessarily eager to go very low-level, but it's at least a bit better
than it used to be.

This was another case that Rasmus pointed out where the direct access to
the pipe head and tail pointers broke on 32-bit configurations due to
the type changes.

As with the pipe FIONREAD case, fix it by using the appropriate helper
functions that deal with the right pipe index sizing.

<title>fuse: don't truncate cached, mutated symlink</title>

<id>b4c173dfbb6c78568578ff18f9e8822d7bd0e31b</id>
<content type='text'>
Fuse allows the value of a symlink to change and this property is exploited
by some filesystems (e.g. CVMFS).

It has been observed, that sometimes after changing the symlink contents,
the value is truncated to the old size.

This is caused by fuse_getattr() racing with fuse_reverse_inval_inode().
fuse_reverse_inval_inode() updates the fuse_inode's attr_version, which
results in fuse_change_attributes() exiting before updating the cached
attributes

This is okay, as the cached attributes remain invalid and the next call to
fuse_change_attributes() will likely update the inode with the correct
values.

The reason this causes problems is that cached symlinks will be
returned through page_get_link(), which truncates the symlink to
inode-&gt;i_size.  This is correct for filesystems that don't mutate
symlinks, but in this case it causes bad behavior.

The solution is to just remove this truncation.  This can cause a
regression in a filesystem that relies on supplying a symlink larger than
the file size, but this is unlikely.  If that happens we'd need to make
this behavior conditional.

<title>fuse: revert back to __readahead_folio() for readahead</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 3eab9d7bc2f4 ("fuse: convert readahead to use folios"), the
logic was converted to using the new folio readahead code, which drops
the reference on the folio once it is locked, using an inferred
reference on the folio. Previously we held a reference on the folio for
the entire duration of the readpages call.

This is fine, however for the case for splice pipe responses where we
will remove the old folio and splice in the new folio (see
fuse_try_move_page()), we assume that there is a reference held on the
folio for ap-&gt;folios, which is no longer the case.

To fix this, revert back to __readahead_folio() which allows us to hold
the reference on the folio for the duration of readpages until either we
drop the reference ourselves in fuse_readpages_end() or the reference is
dropped after it's replaced in the page cache in the splice case.
This will fix the UAF bug that was reported.

  It's easy enough for callers to supply stable values for expected name
  and expected parent of the dentry being validated. That kills quite a

 "Provide stable parent and name to -&gt;d_revalidate() instances

  Most of the filesystem methods where we care about dentry name and
  parent have their stability guaranteed by the callers;
  -&gt;d_revalidate() is the major exception.

  It's easy enough for callers to supply stable values for expected name
  and expected parent of the dentry being validated. That kills quite a
  bit of boilerplate in -&gt;d_revalidate() instances, along with a bunch
  of races where they used to access -&gt;d_name without sufficient
  precautions"

Pull sysctl table constification from Joel Granados:
 "All ctl_table declared outside of functions and that remain unmodified
  after initialization are const qualified.

  This prevents unintended modifications to proc_handler function
  pointers by placing them in the .rodata section.

  This is a continuation of the tree-wide effort started a few releases
  ago with the constification of the ctl_table struct arguments in the
  sysctl API done in 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the
  ctl_table argument of proc_handlers")"

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.
