commit 7cb74be6fd827e314f81df3c5889b87e4c87c569 upstream.

Pages looked up by __hfs_bnode_create() (called by hfs_bnode_create() and
hfs_bnode_find() for finding or creating pages corresponding to an inode)
are immediately kmap()'ed and used (both read and write) and kunmap()'ed,
and should not be page_cache_release()'ed until hfs_bnode_free().

This patch fixes a problem I first saw in July 2012: merely running "du"
on a large hfsplus-mounted directory a few times on a reasonably loaded
system would get the hfsplus driver all confused and complaining about
B-tree inconsistencies, and generates a "BUG: Bad page state".  Most
recently, I can generate this problem on up-to-date Fedora 22 with shipped
kernel 4.0.5, by running "du /" (="/" + "/home" + "/mnt" + other smaller
mounts) and "du /mnt" simultaneously on two windows, where /mnt is a
lightly-used QEMU VM image of the full Mac OS X 10.9:

$ df -i / /home /mnt
Filesystem                  Inodes   IUsed      IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root    3276800  551665    2725135   17% /
/dev/mapper/fedora-home   52879360  716221   52163139    2% /home
/dev/nbd0p2             4294967295 1387818 4293579477    1% /mnt

After applying the patch, I was able to run "du /" (60+ times) and "du
/mnt" (150+ times) continuously and simultaneously for 6+ hours.

There are many reports of the hfsplus driver getting confused under load
and generating "BUG: Bad page state" or other similar issues over the
years.  [1]

The unpatched code [2] has always been wrong since it entered the kernel
tree.  The only reason why it gets away with it is that the
kmap/memcpy/kunmap follow very quickly after the page_cache_release() so
the kernel has not had a chance to reuse the memory for something else,
most of the time.

The current RW driver appears to have followed the design and development
of the earlier read-only hfsplus driver [3], where-by version 0.1 (Dec
2001) had a B-tree node-centric approach to
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put(),
migrating towards version 0.2 (June 2002) of caching and releasing pages
per inode extents.  When the current RW code first entered the kernel [2]
in 2005, there was an REF_PAGES conditional (and "//" commented out code)
to switch between B-node centric paging to inode-centric paging.  There
was a mistake with the direction of one of the REF_PAGES conditionals in
__hfs_bnode_create().  In a subsequent "remove debug code" commit [4], the
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put() were
removed, but a page_cache_release() was mistakenly left in (propagating
the "REF_PAGES &lt;-&gt; !REF_PAGE" mistake), and the commented-out
page_cache_release() in bnode_release() (which should be spanned by
!REF_PAGES) was never enabled.

commit b4cc0efea4f0bfa2477c56af406cfcf3d3e58680 upstream.

Fix B-tree corruption when a new record is inserted at position 0 in the
node in hfs_brec_insert().

This is an identical change to the corresponding hfs b-tree code to Sergei
Antonov's "hfsplus: fix B-tree corruption after insertion at position 0",
to keep similar code paths in the hfs and hfsplus drivers in sync, where
appropriate.

Use a more current logging style.

Add #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt
hfsplus now uses "hfsplus: " for all messages.
Coalesce formats.
Prefix debugging messages too.

hfs_find_init() may fail with ENOMEM, but there are places, where the
returned value is not checked.  The consequences can be very unpleasant,
e.g.  kfree uninitialized pointer and inappropriate mutex unlocking.

The patch adds checks for errors in hfs_find_init().

<title>fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.</title>

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.
