[ Upstream commit ed0360bbab72b829437b67ebb2f9cfac19f59dfe ]

aio, io_uring, cachefiles and overlayfs, all open code an ugly variant
of file_{start,end}_write() to silence lockdep warnings.

Create helpers for this lockdep dance so we can use the helpers in all
the callers.

commit 2a0629834cd82f05d424bbc193374f9a43d1f87d upstream.

The inode reclaiming process(See function prune_icache_sb) collects all
reclaimable inodes and mark them with I_FREEING flag at first, at that
time, other processes will be stuck if they try getting these inodes
(See function find_inode_fast), then the reclaiming process destroy the
inodes by function dispose_list(). Some filesystems(eg. ext4 with
ea_inode feature, ubifs with xattr) may do inode lookup in the inode
evicting callback function, if the inode lookup is operated under the
inode lru traversing context, deadlock problems may happen.

Case 1: In function ext4_evict_inode(), the ea inode lookup could happen
        if ea_inode feature is enabled, the lookup process will be stuck
	under the evicting context like this:

 1. File A has inode i_reg and an ea inode i_ea
 2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // i_ea is added into lru // lru-&gt;i_ea
 3. Then, following three processes running like this:

    PA                              PB
 echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  shrink_slab
   prune_dcache_sb
   // i_reg is added into lru, lru-&gt;i_ea-&gt;i_reg
   prune_icache_sb
    list_lru_walk_one
     inode_lru_isolate
      i_ea-&gt;i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
     inode_lru_isolate
      __iget(i_reg)
      spin_unlock(&amp;i_reg-&gt;i_lock)
      spin_unlock(lru_lock)
                                     rm file A
                                      i_reg-&gt;nlink = 0
      iput(i_reg) // i_reg-&gt;nlink is 0, do evict
       ext4_evict_inode
        ext4_xattr_delete_inode
         ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all
          ext4_xattr_inode_iget
           ext4_iget(i_ea-&gt;i_ino)
            iget_locked
             find_inode_fast
              __wait_on_freeing_inode(i_ea) ----→ AA deadlock
    dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
     wake_up_bit(&amp;i_ea-&gt;i_state)

Case 2: In deleted inode writing function ubifs_jnl_write_inode(), file
        deleting process holds BASEHD's wbuf-&gt;io_mutex while getting the
	xattr inode, which could race with inode reclaiming process(The
        reclaiming process could try locking BASEHD's wbuf-&gt;io_mutex in
	inode evicting function), then an ABBA deadlock problem would
	happen as following:

 1. File A has inode ia and a xattr(with inode ixa), regular file B has
    inode ib and a xattr.
 2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // ixa is added into lru // lru-&gt;ixa
 3. Then, following three processes running like this:

        PA                PB                        PC
                echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
                 shrink_slab
                  prune_dcache_sb
                  // ib and ia are added into lru, lru-&gt;ixa-&gt;ib-&gt;ia
                  prune_icache_sb
                   list_lru_walk_one
                    inode_lru_isolate
                     ixa-&gt;i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
                    inode_lru_isolate
                     __iget(ib)
                     spin_unlock(&amp;ib-&gt;i_lock)
                     spin_unlock(lru_lock)
                                                   rm file B
                                                    ib-&gt;nlink = 0
 rm file A
  iput(ia)
   ubifs_evict_inode(ia)
    ubifs_jnl_delete_inode(ia)
     ubifs_jnl_write_inode(ia)
      make_reservation(BASEHD) // Lock wbuf-&gt;io_mutex
      ubifs_iget(ixa-&gt;i_ino)
       iget_locked
        find_inode_fast
         __wait_on_freeing_inode(ixa)
          |          iput(ib) // ib-&gt;nlink is 0, do evict
          |           ubifs_evict_inode
          |            ubifs_jnl_delete_inode(ib)
          ↓             ubifs_jnl_write_inode
     ABBA deadlock ←-----make_reservation(BASEHD)
                   dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
                    wake_up_bit(&amp;ixa-&gt;i_state)

Fix the possible deadlock by using new inode state flag I_LRU_ISOLATING
to pin the inode in memory while inode_lru_isolate() reclaims its pages
instead of using ordinary inode reference. This way inode deletion
cannot be triggered from inode_lru_isolate() thus avoiding the deadlock.
evict() is made to wait for I_LRU_ISOLATING to be cleared before
proceeding with inode cleanup.

[ Upstream commit 401a8b8fd5acd51582b15238d72a8d0edd580e9f ]

There are a number of places in the kernel that are accessing the
inode-&gt;i_flctx field without smp_load_acquire. This is required to
ensure that the caller doesn't see a partially-initialized structure.

Add a new accessor function for it to make this clear and convert all of
the relevant accesses in locks.c to use it. Also, convert
locks_free_lock_context to use the helper as well instead of just doing
a "bare" assignment.

<title>splice, net: Add a splice_eof op to file-ops and socket-ops</title>

[ Upstream commit 2bfc66850952b6921b2033b09729ec59eabbc81d ]

Add an optional method, -&gt;splice_eof(), to allow splice to indicate the
premature termination of a splice to struct file_operations and struct
proto_ops.

This is called if sendfile() or splice() encounters all of the following
conditions inside splice_direct_to_actor():

 (1) the user did not set SPLICE_F_MORE (splice only), and

 (2) an EOF condition occurred (-&gt;splice_read() returned 0), and

 (3) we haven't read enough to fulfill the request (ie. len &gt; 0 still), and

 (4) we have already spliced at least one byte.

A further patch will modify the behaviour of SPLICE_F_MORE to always be
passed to the actor if either the user set it or we haven't yet read
sufficient data to fulfill the request.

commit 9b6304c1d53745c300b86f202d0dcff395e2d2db upstream.

struct timespec64 has unused bits in the tv_nsec field that can be used
for other purposes. In future patches, we're going to change how the
inode-&gt;i_ctime is accessed in certain inodes in order to make use of
them. In order to do that safely though, we'll need to eradicate raw
accesses of the inode-&gt;i_ctime field from the kernel.

Add new accessor functions for the ctime that we use to replace them.

<title>audit,io_uring: io_uring openat triggers audit reference count underflow</title>

commit 03adc61edad49e1bbecfb53f7ea5d78f398fe368 upstream.

An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count
from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below.

A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of
IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates.

These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race.

do_syscall_64()
  __do_sys_io_uring_enter()
    io_submit_sqes()
      io_openat_prep()
        __io_openat_prep()
          getname()
            getname_flags()       /* update 1 (increment) */
              __audit_getname()   /* update 2 (increment) */

The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the
opportunity for a race.  The system call exit performs one decrement.

do_syscall_64()
  syscall_exit_to_user_mode()
    syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
      __audit_syscall_exit()
        audit_reset_context()
           putname()              /* update 3 (decrement) */

The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements.
These updates can race with the system call decrement.

io_wqe_worker()
  io_worker_handle_work()
    io_wq_submit_work()
      io_issue_sqe()
        io_openat()
          io_openat2()
            do_filp_open()
              path_openat()
                __audit_inode()   /* update 4 (increment) */
            putname()             /* update 5 (decrement) */
        __audit_uring_exit()
          audit_reset_context()
            putname()             /* update 6 (decrement) */

The fix is to change the refcnt member of struct audit_names
from int to atomic_t.

commit 4f704d9a8352f5c0a8fcdb6213b934630342bd44 upstream.

We've aligned setgid behavior over multiple kernel releases. The details
can be found in the following two merge messages:
cf619f891971 ("Merge tag 'fs.ovl.setgid.v6.2')
426b4ca2d6a5 ("Merge tag 'fs.setgid.v6.0')
Consistent setgid stripping behavior is now encapsulated in the
setattr_should_drop_sgid() helper which is used by all filesystems that
strip setgid bits outside of vfs proper. Switch nfs to rely on this
helper as well. Without this patch the setgid stripping tests in
xfstests will fail.

commit f15afbd34d8fadbd375f1212e97837e32bc170cc upstream.

Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing
significant bit to unsigned. It was spotted by UBSAN.

So let's just fix this by using the BIT() helper for all SB_* flags.
