[ Upstream commit 74f6f5912693ce454384eaeec48705646a21c74f ]

As following backtrace, the struct file_lock request , in posix_lock_inode
is free before ftrace function using.
Replace the ftrace function ahead free flow could fix the use-after-free
issue.

<title>filelocks: use mount idmapping for setlease permission check</title>

commit 42d0c4bdf753063b6eec55415003184d3ca24f6e upstream.

A user should be allowed to take out a lease via an idmapped mount if
the fsuid matches the mapped uid of the inode. generic_setlease() is
checking the unmapped inode uid, causing these operations to be denied.

Fix this by comparing against the mapped inode uid instead of the
unmapped uid.

[ Upstream commit ab1ddef98a715eddb65309ffa83267e4e84a571e ]

Ceph has a need to know whether a particular inode has any locks set on
it. It's currently tracking that by a num_locks field in its
filp-&gt;private_data, but that's problematic as it tries to decrement this
field when releasing locks and that can race with the file being torn
down.

Add a new vfs_inode_has_locks helper that just returns whether any locks
are currently held on the inode.

<title>locks: Fix dropped call to -&gt;fl_release_private()</title>

<content type='text'>
Prior to commit 4149be7bda7e, sys_flock() would allocate the file_lock
struct it was going to use to pass parameters, call -&gt;flock() and then call
locks_free_lock() to get rid of it - which had the side effect of calling
locks_release_private() and thus -&gt;fl_release_private().

With commit 4149be7bda7e, however, this is no longer the case: the struct
is now allocated on the stack, and locks_free_lock() is no longer called -
and thus any remaining private data doesn't get cleaned up either.

This causes afs flock to cause oops.  Kasan catches this as a UAF by the
list_del_init() in afs_fl_release_private() for the file_lock record
produced by afs_fl_copy_lock() as the original record didn't get delisted.
It can be reproduced using the generic/504 xfstest.

Fix this by reinstating the locks_release_private() call in sys_flock().
I'm not sure if this would affect any other filesystems.  If not, then the
release could be done in afs_flock() instead.

Changes
=======
ver #2)
 - Don't need to call -&gt;fl_release_private() after calling the security
   hook, only after calling -&gt;flock().

<title>fs/lock: Rearrange ops in flock syscall.</title>

<content type='text'>
The previous patch added flock_translate_cmd() in flock syscall.
The test and the other one for LOCK_MAND do not depend on struct
fd and are cheaper, so we can put them at the top and defer
fdget() after that.

Also, we can remove the unlock variable and use type instead.
While at it, we fix this checkpatch error.

  CHECK: spaces preferred around that '|' (ctx:VxV)
  #45: FILE: fs/locks.c:2099:
  +	if (type != F_UNLCK &amp;&amp; !(f.file-&gt;f_mode &amp; (FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE)))
   	                                                     ^

Finally, we can move the can_sleep part just before we use it.

Two functions, flock syscall and locks_remove_flock(), call
flock_make_lock().  It allocates struct file_lock from slab
cache if its argument fl is NULL.

When we call flock syscall, we pass NULL to allocate memory
for struct file_lock.  However, we always free it at the end
by locks_free_lock().  We need not allocate it and instead
should use a local variable as locks_remove_flock() does.

Also, the validation for flock_translate_cmd() is not necessary
for locks_remove_flock().  So we move the part to flock syscall
and make flock_make_lock() return nothing.

<title>fs/lock: add 2 callbacks to lock_manager_operations to resolve conflict</title>

<id>2443da2259e97688f93d64d17ab69b15f466078a</id>
<content type='text'>
Add 2 new callbacks, lm_lock_expirable and lm_expire_lock, to
lock_manager_operations to allow the lock manager to take appropriate
action to resolve the lock conflict if possible.

A new field, lm_mod_owner, is also added to lock_manager_operations.
The lm_mod_owner is used by the fs/lock code to make sure the lock
manager module such as nfsd, is not freed while lock conflict is being
resolved.

lm_lock_expirable checks and returns true to indicate that the lock
conflict can be resolved else return false. This callback must be
called with the flc_lock held so it can not block.

lm_expire_lock is called to resolve the lock conflict if the returned
value from lm_lock_expirable is true. This callback is called without
the flc_lock held since it's allowed to block. Upon returning from
this callback, the lock conflict should be resolved and the caller is
expected to restart the conflict check from the beginnning of the list.

Lock manager, such as NFSv4 courteous server, uses this callback to
resolve conflict by destroying lock owner, or the NFSv4 courtesy client
(client that has expired but allowed to maintains its states) that owns
the lock.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

The locking fs sysctls are only used on fs/locks.c, so move them there.

This is only of historical interest, and anyone interested in the
history can dig out an old version of locks.c from from git.

Triggered by the observation that it references the now-removed
Documentation/filesystems/mandatory-locking.rst.
