commit ccb820dc7d2236b1af0d54ae038a27b5b6d5ae5a upstream.

fscrypt_destroy_keyring() must be called after all potentially-encrypted
inodes were evicted; otherwise it cannot safely destroy the keyring.
Since inodes that are in-use by the Landlock LSM don't get evicted until
security_sb_delete(), this means that fscrypt_destroy_keyring() must be
called *after* security_sb_delete().

This fixes a WARN_ON followed by a NULL dereference, only possible if
Landlock was being used on encrypted files.

<title>fs: Use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() when kernel bugs are detected</title>

[ Upstream commit 47d586913f2abec4d240bae33417f537fda987ec ]

Currently, filp_close() and generic_shutdown_super() use printk() to log
messages when bugs are detected. This is problematic because infrastructure
like syzkaller has no idea that this message indicates a bug.
In addition, some people explicitly want their kernels to BUG() when kernel
data corruption has been detected (CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION).
And finally, when generic_shutdown_super() detects remaining inodes on a
system without CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION, it would be nice if later
accesses to a busy inode would at least crash somewhat cleanly rather than
walking through freed memory.

To address all three, use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() when kernel bugs are
detected.

Commit d7e7b9af104c ("fscrypt: stop using keyrings subsystem for
fscrypt_master_key") moved the keyring destruction from __put_super() to
generic_shutdown_super() so that the filesystem's block device(s) are
still available.  Unfortunately, this causes a memory leak in the case
where a mount is attempted with the test_dummy_encryption mount option,
but the mount fails after the option has already been processed.

To fix this, attempt the keyring destruction in both places.

<id>d7e7b9af104c7b389a0c21eb26532511bce4b510</id>
<content type='text'>
The approach of fs/crypto/ internally managing the fscrypt_master_key
structs as the payloads of "struct key" objects contained in a
"struct key" keyring has outlived its usefulness.  The original idea was
to simplify the code by reusing code from the keyrings subsystem.
However, several issues have arisen that can't easily be resolved:

- When a master key struct is destroyed, blk_crypto_evict_key() must be
  called on any per-mode keys embedded in it.  (This started being the
  case when inline encryption support was added.)  Yet, the keyrings
  subsystem can arbitrarily delay the destruction of keys, even past the
  time the filesystem was unmounted.  Therefore, currently there is no
  easy way to call blk_crypto_evict_key() when a master key is
  destroyed.  Currently, this is worked around by holding an extra
  reference to the filesystem's request_queue(s).  But it was overlooked
  that the request_queue reference is *not* guaranteed to pin the
  corresponding blk_crypto_profile too; for device-mapper devices that
  support inline crypto, it doesn't.  This can cause a use-after-free.

- When the last inode that was using an incompletely-removed master key
  is evicted, the master key removal is completed by removing the key
  struct from the keyring.  Currently this is done via key_invalidate().
  Yet, key_invalidate() takes the key semaphore.  This can deadlock when
  called from the shrinker, since in fscrypt_ioctl_add_key(), memory is
  allocated with GFP_KERNEL under the same semaphore.

- More generally, the fact that the keyrings subsystem can arbitrarily
  delay the destruction of keys (via garbage collection delay, or via
  random processes getting temporary key references) is undesirable, as
  it means we can't strictly guarantee that all secrets are ever wiped.

- Doing the master key lookups via the keyrings subsystem results in the
  key_permission LSM hook being called.  fscrypt doesn't want this, as
  all access control for encrypted files is designed to happen via the
  files themselves, like any other files.  The workaround which SELinux
  users are using is to change their SELinux policy to grant key search
  access to all domains.  This works, but it is an odd extra step that
  shouldn't really have to be done.

The fix for all these issues is to change the implementation to what I
should have done originally: don't use the keyrings subsystem to keep
track of the filesystem's fscrypt_master_key structs.  Instead, just
store them in a regular kernel data structure, and rework the reference
counting, locking, and lifetime accordingly.  Retain support for
RCU-mode key lookups by using a hash table.  Replace fscrypt_sb_free()
with fscrypt_sb_delete(), which releases the keys synchronously and runs
a bit earlier during unmount, so that block devices are still available.

A side effect of this patch is that neither the master keys themselves
nor the filesystem keyrings will be listed in /proc/keys anymore.
("Master key users" and the master key users keyrings will still be
listed.)  However, this was mostly an implementation detail, and it was
intended just for debugging purposes.  I don't know of anyone using it.

This patch does *not* change how "master key users" (-&gt;mk_users) works;
that still uses the keyrings subsystem.  That is still needed for key
quotas, and changing that isn't necessary to solve the issues listed
above.  If we decide to change that too, it would be a separate patch.

I've marked this as fixing the original commit that added the fscrypt
keyring, but as noted above the most important issue that this patch
fixes wasn't introduced until the addition of inline encryption support.

The function is to be called from filesystem-specific code to mark a
superblock to be ignored by superblock test and thus never re-used.  The
function also unregisters bdi if the bdi is per-superblock to avoid
collision if a new superblock is created to represent the filesystem.
generic_shutdown_super() skips unregistering bdi for a retired superlock as
it assumes retire function has already done it.

This patch adds the functionality only for the block-device-based supers,
since the primary use case of the feature is to gracefully handle force
unmount of external devices, mounted with FUSE.  This can be further
extended to cover all superblocks, if the need arises.

<title>mm: shrinkers: provide shrinkers with names</title>

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects.  For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g.  for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.

This commit adds names to shrinkers.  register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.

In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated.  For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.

The expected format is:
    &lt;subsystem&gt;-&lt;shrinker_type&gt;[:&lt;instance&gt;]-&lt;id&gt;
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.

After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:
  $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
  $ ls
    dquota-cache-16     sb-devpts-28     sb-proc-47       sb-tmpfs-42
    mm-shadow-18        sb-devtmpfs-5    sb-proc-48       sb-tmpfs-43

Add a helper to check the stable writes flag based on the block_device
instead of having to poke into the block layer internal request_queue.
