commit 135dd002c23054aaa056ea3162c1e0356905c195 upstream.

Commit f895b252d4edf ("sunrpc: eliminate RPC_DEBUG") introduced
use of IS_ENABLED() in a uapi header which leads to a build
failure for userspace apps trying to use &lt;linux/nfsd/debug.h&gt;:

   linux/nfsd/debug.h:18:15: error: missing binary operator before token "("
  #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG)
                ^

Since this was only used to define NFSD_DEBUG if CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG
is enabled, replace instances of NFSD_DEBUG with CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG.

If the client uses a special stateid then we'll pass a NULL file to

commit 6e4891dc289cd191d46ab7ba1dcb29646644f9ca upstream.

In the case we already have a struct file (derived from a stateid), we
still need to do permission-checking; otherwise an unauthorized user
could gain access to a file by sniffing or guessing somebody else's
stateid.

commit 5ba4a25ab7b13be528b23f85182f4d09cf7f71ad upstream.

vfs_fallocate will hit a NULL dereference if the client tries an
ALLOCATE or DEALLOCATE with a special stateid.  Fix that.  (We also
depend on the open to have broken any conflicting leases or delegations
for us.)

(If it turns out we need to allow special stateid's then we could do a
temporary open here in the special-stateid case, as we do for read and
write.  For now I'm assuming it's not necessary.)

commit 340f0ba1c6c8412aa35fd6476044836b84361ea6 upstream.

alloc_init_lock_stateowner can return an already freed entry if there is
a race to put openowners in the hashtable.

Noticed by inspection after Jeff Layton fixed the same bug for open
owners.  Depending on client behavior, this one may be trickier to
trigger in practice.

commit c5952338bfc234e54deda45b7228f610a545e28a upstream.

alloc_init_open_stateowner can return an already freed entry if there is
a race to put openowners in the hashtable.

In commit 7ffb588086e9, we changed it so that we allocate and initialize
an openowner, and then check to see if a matching one got stuffed into
the hashtable in the meantime. If it did, then we free the one we just
allocated and take a reference on the one already there. There is a bug
here though. The code will then return the pointer to the one that was
allocated (and has now been freed).

This wasn't evident before as this race almost never occurred. The Linux
kernel client used to serialize requests for a single openowner.  That
has changed now with v4.0 kernels, and this race can now easily occur.

Currently, nfs4_set_delegation takes a reference to an existing
delegation and then checks to see if there is a conflict. If there is
one, then it doesn't release that reference.

Change the code to take the reference after the check and only if there
is no conflict.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
    offloading of switching and routing to hardware.

    This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
    limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
    Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu

 2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
    modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers.  Thanks to Al Viro
    and Herbert Xu.

 3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
    Alpe.

 4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
    KaFai Lau.

 5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
    Pavaluca.

 6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
    achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
    interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.

 8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
    Nicolas Dichtel.

 9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
    programs to actually be attached to sockets.  From Alexei
    Starovoitov.

10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.

11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
    Westphal.

12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.

13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
    driver, from Thomas Lendacky.

14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.

15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
    Klassert.

16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
    Dumazet.  This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
    desired handling of bulk vs.  RPC-like traffic.

17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
    received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU.  From Eric Dumazet.

18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
    Dumazet.

19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
    consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.

20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
    Varadarajan.

21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

22) Support configurable RSS hash functions via ethtool, from Eyal
    Perry.
