Commit ae78eb497868 ("xdrgen: Implement short (16-bit) integer
types") taught the generator to emit XDR_short and
XDR_unsigned_short in the computed maxsize macros and added the
matching encode and decode primitives to _builtins.h, but it left
the two width macros themselves undefined in _defs.h.

Define XDR_short and XDR_unsigned_short, each one XDR unit wide, to
match the width the generator's maxsize table assigns them.

[ Upstream commit ec5a7c2dceb09caf36262ecbd633eb7d4f9e4d3d ]

Clean up.

The declaration templates for structs, pointers, and typedefs each
begin with a blank line, which keeps successive declarations and the
include block above them visually separated. The enum declaration
template omits that blank line. trim_blocks collapses the template's
lone comment line to nothing, so the omission stayed invisible as
long as every generated header happened to lead with a non-enum
declaration.

<title>lockd: Regenerate NLMv4 XDR code</title>

[ Upstream commit e1d6e968ee26eee9654e35cd8141e38cefe307a4 ]

The checked-in NLMv4 xdrgen output predates the addition of enum
value validation to generated decoders. As a result the decoders for
fsh4_mode, fsh4_access, and nlm4_stats still accept any 32-bit value,
while the current generator rejects values outside the enumeration.
Resync the generated files with the in-tree xdrgen by regenerating
from the unchanged nlm4.x specification.

This is a plain regeneration with no specification change; it also
refreshes the recorded specification modification time to show that
all existing enum decoders have picked up the xdrgen tool fix.

[ Upstream commit a0ac2a63d4b21455985436fbc70192da14a163fd ]

Add the necessary bits to nfs4_1.x and remove the duplicate definitions
from nfs4.h and the uapi nfs4 header. Regenerate the xdr files.

Note that regenerating these files caused conflicts with the definitions
of NFS4_VERIFIER_SIZE and NFS4_FHSIZE in include/uapi/linux/nfs4.h.
These constants are defined by the RFC, and are not part of the kernel
API. They have been removed. Userspace consumers who require those
constants should plan to get them from more authoritative sources.

The nfsstat4 enum defined in the .x is fed to the xdrgen-generated wire
encoder and decoder, which treat every enumerated value as legal on the
wire. Do not carry the NFS4ERR_FIRST_FREE sentinel (which is not a
protocol error code) into the .x; keeping it would make 10097 a value
that could leak onto the wire. Instead base nfsd's internal error codes
(NFSERR_EOF and friends) at an impossible nfsstat4 value, as lockd does
for its nlm__int__* status codes.

<title>svcrdma: Fix pcl_for_each_segment for empty chunks</title>

<id>6d33a7e6bf6c6b293a266a617201285a1ad32c56</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b7713a784c59515d0aba558c8f5df6a0164dd3a9 upstream.

When a parsed chunk list contains a chunk whose ch_segcount is zero,
pcl_for_each_segment computes its inclusive upper bound as
&amp;chunk-&gt;ch_segments[ch_segcount - 1]. ch_segcount is u32, so the
subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF and the bound lands far past the
ch_segments flex array. The loop body then walks unrelated memory at
sizeof(struct svc_rdma_segment) stride until it faults.

A zero-segcount chunk is reachable from the wire:
xdr_check_write_chunk() only rejects segcount values greater than
rc_maxpages, and pcl_alloc_write() links a freshly allocated chunk
onto rc_write_pcl/rc_reply_pcl before its segment-fill loop runs,
so a Write or Reply chunk advertising zero segments leaves
ch_segcount == 0 on the list. When the transport has negotiated
Send-With-Invalidate, svc_rdma_get_inv_rkey() iterates all four
PCLs with pcl_for_each_segment and dereferences segment-&gt;rs_handle
on each iteration, turning the underflow into an out-of-bounds read
and a general protection fault.

    xdr_check_write_list / xdr_check_reply_chunk
      pcl_alloc_write()
        chunk = pcl_alloc_chunk(...)  /* ch_segcount = 0 */
        list_add_tail(&amp;chunk-&gt;ch_list, &amp;pcl-&gt;cl_chunks)
        /* fill loop iterates zero times for wire segcount 0 */

    svc_rdma_get_inv_rkey()
      pcl_for_each_chunk(rc_write_pcl)
        pcl_for_each_segment(segment, chunk)
          pos &lt;= &amp;ch_segments[0u - 1u]  /* 0xFFFFFFFF */
          segment-&gt;rs_handle            /* OOB read -&gt; GPF */

Fix by switching the macro to a half-open upper bound that uses
ch_segcount directly. For ch_segcount == 0 the loop start equals the
loop end and the body is skipped; for ch_segcount &gt; 0 the iteration
range is unchanged. All six existing call sites in
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_recvfrom.c and
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_rw.c remain correct under the new bound,
so no caller changes are needed.

commit 3674f780f47d2906b5a0f7199b66973067bdfeca upstream.

A backchannel receive can complete a request while the NFS callback
service is being torn down.  xprt_complete_bc_request() removes the
request from bc_pa_list, drops bc_alloc_count, marks the request in use,
and then asks xprt_enqueue_bc_request() to hand it to the callback
service.

If teardown has already cleared xprt-&gt;bc_serv, xprt_enqueue_bc_request()
currently returns without enqueueing or freeing the committed request.
The xprt_get() taken on entry is leaked as well.  If the producer wins
the race before bc_serv is cleared, it can also enqueue onto sv_cb_list
after nfs_callback_down() has stopped the callback threads, leaving the
request linked to a svc_serv that is about to be freed.

Close the producer side before callback threads are stopped.  Add
xprt_svc_shutdown_bc() to clear xprt-&gt;bc_serv under bc_pa_lock, and call
it on callback shutdown and callback-start failure before stopping the
service threads.  Requests that lose the NULL transition in
xprt_enqueue_bc_request() are released through the normal backchannel
free path after balancing bc_slot_count.  Finally, drain any remaining
sv_cb_list requests after the callback threads have stopped and before
svc_destroy() frees the service.

<title>SUNRPC: pin upper rpc_clnt across the TLS connect_worker</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=46bc86c833956219bbfd246c1ffd832a479c5199'/>
<id>46bc86c833956219bbfd246c1ffd832a479c5199</id>
<content type='text'>
The TLS connect path has a use-after-free: nothing pins the
upper rpc_clnt across the delayed connect_worker. xs_connect()
stores task-&gt;tk_client in sock_xprt::clnt as a raw pointer
and queues the worker; for TLS-secured transports that worker
is xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(), which reads several fields out
of the saved pointer (cl_timeout, cl_program, cl_prog,
cl_vers, cl_cred, cl_stats) to construct the args for the
inner handshake rpc_clnt.

The xprt does not reference the rpc_clnt; the rpc_clnt
references the xprt. xs_destroy() does cancel the
connect_worker, but it runs only when the xprt's refcount
drops to zero, which cannot happen until the rpc_clnt
releases its cl_xprt reference in rpc_free_client_work().
When a TLS handshake fails fatally (for example, an mTLS
mount whose client cert does not match the server), the
connecting task is woken with -EACCES and exits, the mount
caller invokes rpc_shutdown_client(), and the upper rpc_clnt
is freed before the queued connect_worker fires.
xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket() then dereferences the freed clnt,
producing the refcount_t underflow Michael Nemanov reported.

Take a reference on the upper rpc_clnt in xs_connect() for
TLS transports via a new rpc_hold_client() helper, and drop
it in the connect_worker's exit path with rpc_release_client().
The xprt_lock_connect() / xprt_unlock_connect() pairing
already serialises xs_connect() with xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(),
so the take and release are balanced one-for-one.

The non-TLS connect worker (xs_tcp_setup_socket) never reads
sock_xprt::clnt, so leave that path alone and avoid the
clnt-holds-xprt-holds-clnt cycle that would otherwise prevent
xprt destruction.

<pre>
The TLS connect path has a use-after-free: nothing pins the
upper rpc_clnt across the delayed connect_worker. xs_connect()
stores task-&gt;tk_client in sock_xprt::clnt as a raw pointer
and queues the worker; for TLS-secured transports that worker
is xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(), which reads several fields out
of the saved pointer (cl_timeout, cl_program, cl_prog,
cl_vers, cl_cred, cl_stats) to construct the args for the
inner handshake rpc_clnt.

The xprt does not reference the rpc_clnt; the rpc_clnt
references the xprt. xs_destroy() does cancel the
connect_worker, but it runs only when the xprt's refcount
drops to zero, which cannot happen until the rpc_clnt
releases its cl_xprt reference in rpc_free_client_work().
When a TLS handshake fails fatally (for example, an mTLS
mount whose client cert does not match the server), the
connecting task is woken with -EACCES and exits, the mount
caller invokes rpc_shutdown_client(), and the upper rpc_clnt
is freed before the queued connect_worker fires.
xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket() then dereferences the freed clnt,
producing the refcount_t underflow Michael Nemanov reported.

Take a reference on the upper rpc_clnt in xs_connect() for
TLS transports via a new rpc_hold_client() helper, and drop
it in the connect_worker's exit path with rpc_release_client().
The xprt_lock_connect() / xprt_unlock_connect() pairing
already serialises xs_connect() with xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(),
so the take and release are balanced one-for-one.

The non-TLS connect worker (xs_tcp_setup_socket) never reads

<title>svcrdma: wake sq waiters when the transport closes</title>

Threads parked in svc_rdma_sq_wait() on sc_sq_ticket_wait or
sc_send_wait can hang indefinitely in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
across transport teardown, pinning svc_xprt references and
blocking svc_rdma_free().

The close path sets XPT_CLOSE before invoking xpo_detach and both
wait_event predicates include an XPT_CLOSE term, but the
predicates are re-evaluated only on wakeup. sc_sq_ticket_wait has
no completion-driven wake path; it is advanced solely by the
chained ticket handoff inside svc_rdma_sq_wait() itself. Without
an explicit wake at close, parked threads never observe
XPT_CLOSE, hold their svc_xprt_get reference forever, and
svc_rdma_free() blocks on xpt_ref dropping to zero.

Two close entry points reach this transport. Local teardown runs
svc_rdma_detach() from svc_handle_xprt() -&gt; svc_delete_xprt() -&gt;
xpo_detach() on a worker thread. A remote disconnect arrives at
svc_rdma_cma_handler(), which calls svc_xprt_deferred_close():
that sets XPT_CLOSE and enqueues the transport but does not
access either RDMA waitqueue, so a worker already parked in
svc_rdma_sq_wait() never re-evaluates its predicate. With every
worker parked on this transport, no thread is available to run
the local teardown either, and the wake site there is
unreachable.

Introduce svc_rdma_xprt_deferred_close(), a thin svcrdma wrapper
that calls svc_xprt_deferred_close() and then wakes both
sc_sq_ticket_wait and sc_send_wait. Convert the svcrdma producers
that called svc_xprt_deferred_close() directly:
svc_rdma_cma_handler(), qp_event_handler(),
svc_rdma_post_send_err(), svc_rdma_wc_send(), the sendto drop
path, the rw completion error paths, and the recvfrom flush and
read-list error paths.

Wake both waitqueues from svc_rdma_detach() as well. The
synchronous svc_xprt_close() path (backchannel ENOTCONN, device
removal via svc_rdma_xprt_done) reaches detach without flowing
through svc_xprt_deferred_close() and therefore does not invoke
the new helper.

<title>SUNRPC: Return an error from xdr_buf_to_bvec() on overflow</title>

xdr_buf_to_bvec() returns a slot count even when the caller's bvec
budget is exhausted partway through the xdr_buf. Callers feed that
count into iov_iter_bvec() and continue as if the conversion had
succeeded, silently sending or writing fewer bytes than the data
length declares. For an NFS WRITE the server reports the truncated
transfer to the client as full success.

The overflow represents an internal invariant violation: a higher
layer reserved a bvec budget too small for the xdr_buf it then
asked the encoder to convert. That is a server-side fault, not a
media I/O failure and not a malformed client argument.

Change xdr_buf_to_bvec() to return a signed int and have the
overflow label return -ESERVERFAULT. Update the three callers to
detect the negative return and fail the request: nfsd_vfs_write()
folds the error into host_err, which nfserrno() translates to
nfserr_serverfault for the WRITE reply; svc_udp_sendto() and
svc_tcp_sendmsg() propagate the error out of the send path.

<title>Documentation: Add the RPC language description of NLM version 3</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to generate source code to encode and decode NLMv3 protocol
elements, include a copy of the RPC language description of NLMv3
for xdrgen to process. The language description is derived from the
Open Group's XNFS specification:

  https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629799/chap10.htm#tagcjh_11_03

The C code committed here was generated from the new nlm3.x file
using tools/net/sunrpc/xdrgen/xdrgen.

The goals of replacing hand-written XDR functions with ones that
are tool-generated are to improve memory safety and make XDR
encoding and decoding less brittle to maintain. Parts of the
NFSv4 protocol are still being extended actively. Tool-generated
XDR code reduces the time it takes to get a working implementation
of new protocol elements.

The xdrgen utility derives both the type definitions and the
encode/decode functions directly from protocol specifications,
using names and symbols familiar to anyone who knows those specs.
Unlike hand-written code that can inadvertently diverge from the
specification, xdrgen guarantees that the generated code matches
the specification exactly.

We would eventually like xdrgen to generate Rust code as well,
making the conversion of the kernel's NFS stacks to use Rust just
a little easier for us.
