commit 721fb6fbfd2132164c2e8777cc837f9b2c1794dc upstream.

Detaching of mark connector from fsnotify_put_mark() can race with
unmounting of the filesystem like:

  CPU1				CPU2
fsnotify_put_mark()
  spin_lock(&amp;conn-&gt;lock);
  ...
  inode = fsnotify_detach_connector_from_object(conn)
  spin_unlock(&amp;conn-&gt;lock);
				generic_shutdown_super()
				  fsnotify_unmount_inodes()
				    sees connector detached for inode
				      -&gt; nothing to do
				  evict_inode()
				    barfs on pending inode reference
  iput(inode);

Resulting in "Busy inodes after unmount" message and possible kernel
oops. Make fsnotify_unmount_inodes() properly wait for outstanding inode
references from detached connectors.

Note that the accounting of outstanding inode references in the
superblock can cause some cacheline contention on the counter. OTOH it
happens only during deletion of the last notification mark from an inode
(or during unlinking of watched inode) and that is not too bad. I have
measured time to create &amp; delete inotify watch 100000 times from 64
processes in parallel (each process having its own inotify group and its
own file on a shared superblock) on a 64 CPU machine. Average and
standard deviation of 15 runs look like:

	Avg		Stddev
Vanilla	9.817400	0.276165
Fixed	9.710467	0.228294

So there's no statistically significant difference.

<title>vfs: swap names of {do,vfs}_clone_file_range()</title>

Commit 031a072a0b8a ("vfs: call vfs_clone_file_range() under freeze
protection") created a wrapper do_clone_file_range() around
vfs_clone_file_range() moving the freeze protection to former, so
overlayfs could call the latter.

The more common vfs practice is to call do_xxx helpers from vfs_xxx
helpers, where freeze protecction is taken in the vfs_xxx helper, so
this anomality could be a source of confusion.

It seems that commit 8ede205541ff ("ovl: add reflink/copyfile/dedup
support") may have fallen a victim to this confusion -
ovl_clone_file_range() calls the vfs_clone_file_range() helper in the
hope of getting freeze protection on upper fs, but in fact results in
overlayfs allowing to bypass upper fs freeze protection.

Swap the names of the two helpers to conform to common vfs practice
and call the correct helpers from overlayfs and nfsd.

<title>namei: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular files</title>
<updated>2018-08-24T01:48:43+00:00</updated>

<id>30aba6656f61ed44cba445a3c0d38b296fa9e8f5</id>
<content type='text'>
Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world
writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the
directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag.  The purpose
is to make data spoofing attacks harder.  This protection can be turned
on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like
the symlinks/hardlinks protection.  This patch is based on Openwall's
"HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer.

This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented
by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation:

CVE-2000-1134
CVE-2007-3852
CVE-2008-0525
CVE-2009-0416
CVE-2011-4834
CVE-2015-1838
CVE-2015-7442
CVE-2016-7489

This list is not meant to be complete.  It's difficult to track down all
vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any
mention of this particular attack vector.  In fact, before
hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite
vehicle to exploit them.

a_ops-&gt;readpages() is only ever used for read-ahead, yet we don't flag
the IO being submitted as such.  Fix that up.  Any file system that uses
mpage_readpages() as its -&gt;readpages() implementation will now get this
right.

Since we're passing in whether the IO is read-ahead or not, we don't
need to pass in the 'gfp' separately, as it is dependent on the IO being
read-ahead.  Kill off that member.

Add some documentation notes on -&gt;readpages() being purely for
read-ahead.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Misc cleanups from various folks all over the place

  I expected more fs/dcache.c cleanups this cycle, so that went into a
  separate branch. Said cleanups have missed the window, so in the
  hindsight it could've gone into work.misc instead. Decided not to
  cherry-pick, thus the 'work.dcache' branch"

* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  fs: dcache: Use true and false for boolean values
  fold generic_readlink() into its only caller
  fs: shave 8 bytes off of struct inode
  fs: Add more kernel-doc to the produced documentation
  fs: Fix attr.c kernel-doc
  removed extra extern file_fdatawait_range

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Misc cleanups from various folks all over the place

  I expected more fs/dcache.c cleanups this cycle, so that went into a
  separate branch. Said cleanups have missed the window, so in the
  hindsight it could've gone into work.misc instead. Decided not to
  cherry-pick, thus the 'work.dcache' branch"

* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  fs: dcache: Use true and false for boolean values
  fold generic_readlink() into its only caller
  fs: shave 8 bytes off of struct inode
  fs: Add more kernel-doc to the produced documentation
  fs: Fix attr.c kernel-doc
  removed extra extern file_fdatawait_range

* 'work.dcache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  kill dentry_update_name_case()

Pull vfs icache updates from Al Viro:

 - NFS mkdir/open_by_handle race fix

 - analogous solution for FUSE, replacing the one currently in mainline

 - new primitive to be used when discarding halfway set up inodes on
   failed object creation; gives sane warranties re icache lookups not
   returning such doomed by still not freed inodes. A bunch of
   filesystems switched to that animal.

 - Miklos' fix for last cycle regression in iget5_locked(); -stable will
   need a slightly different variant, unfortunately.

 - misc bits and pieces around things icache-related (in adfs and jfs).

* 'work.mkdir' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  jfs: don't bother with make_bad_inode() in ialloc()
  adfs: don't put inodes into icache
  new helper: inode_fake_hash()
  vfs: don't evict uninitialized inode
  jfs: switch to discard_new_inode()
  ext2: make sure that partially set up inodes won't be returned by ext2_iget()
  udf: switch to discard_new_inode()
  ufs: switch to discard_new_inode()
  btrfs: switch to discard_new_inode()
  new primitive: discard_new_inode()
  kill d_instantiate_no_diralias()
  nfs_instantiate(): prevent multiple aliases for directory inode

Pull vfs open-related updates from Al Viro:

 - "do we need fput() or put_filp()" rules are gone - it's always fput()
   now. We keep track of that state where it belongs - in -&gt;f_mode.

 - int *opened mess killed - in finish_open(), in -&gt;atomic_open()
   instances and in fs/namei.c code around do_last()/lookup_open()/atomic_open().

 - alloc_file() wrappers with saner calling conventions are introduced
   (alloc_file_clone() and alloc_file_pseudo()); callers converted, with
   much simplification.

 - while we are at it, saner calling conventions for path_init() and
   link_path_walk(), simplifying things inside fs/namei.c (both on
   open-related paths and elsewhere).

* 'work.open3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (40 commits)
  few more cleanups of link_path_walk() callers
  allow link_path_walk() to take ERR_PTR()
  make path_init() unconditionally paired with terminate_walk()
  document alloc_file() changes
  make alloc_file() static
  do_shmat(): grab shp-&gt;shm_file earlier, switch to alloc_file_clone()
  new helper: alloc_file_clone()
  create_pipe_files(): switch the first allocation to alloc_file_pseudo()
  anon_inode_getfile(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  hugetlb_file_setup(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  ocxlflash_getfile(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  cxl_getfile(): switch to alloc_file_pseudo()
  ... and switch shmem_file_setup() to alloc_file_pseudo()
  __shmem_file_setup(): reorder allocations
  new wrapper: alloc_file_pseudo()
  kill FILE_{CREATED,OPENED}
  switch atomic_open() and lookup_open() to returning 0 in all success cases
  document -&gt;atomic_open() changes
  -&gt;atomic_open(): return 0 in all success cases
  get rid of 'opened' in path_openat() and the helpers downstream
