[ Upstream commit 1f2740150f904bfa60e4bad74d65add3ccb5e7f8 ]

If skb_unshare() fails to unshare a packet due to allocation failure in
rxrpc_input_packet(), the skb pointer in the parent (rxrpc_io_thread())
will be NULL'd out.  This will likely cause the call to
trace_rxrpc_rx_done() to oops.

Fix this by moving the unsharing down to where rxrpc_input_call_event()
calls rxrpc_input_call_packet().  There are a number of places prior to
that where we ignore DATA packets for a variety of reasons (such as the
call already being complete) for which an unshare is then avoided.

And with that, rxrpc_input_packet() doesn't need to take a pointer to the
pointer to the packet, so change that to just a pointer.

<title>rxrpc: Fix re-decryption of RESPONSE packets</title>

commit 0422e7a4883f25101903f3e8105c0808aa5f4ce9 upstream.

If a RESPONSE packet gets a temporary failure during processing, it may end
up in a partially decrypted state - and then get requeued for a retry.

Fix this by just discarding the packet; we will send another CHALLENGE
packet and thereby elicit a further response.  Similarly, discard an
incoming CHALLENGE packet if we get an error whilst generating a RESPONSE;
the server will send another CHALLENGE.

commit def304aae2edf321d2671fd6ca766a93c21f877e upstream.

Fix handling of a packet with a misaligned crypto length.  Also handle
non-ENOMEM errors from decryption by aborting.  Further, remove the
WARN_ON_ONCE() so that it can't be remotely triggered (a trace line can
still be emitted).

commit 146d4ab94cf129ee06cd467cb5c71368a6b5bad6 upstream.

Fix rxrpc call removal from the rxnet-&gt;calls list to use list_del_rcu()
rather than list_del_init() to prevent stuffing up reading
/proc/net/rxrpc/calls from potentially getting into an infinite loop.

This, however, means that list_empty() no longer works on an entry that's
been deleted from the list, making it harder to detect prior deletion.  Fix
this by:

Firstly, make rxrpc_destroy_all_calls() only dump the first ten calls that
are unexpectedly still on the list.  Limiting the number of steps means
there's no need to call cond_resched() or to remove calls from the list
here, thereby eliminating the need for rxrpc_put_call() to check for that.

rxrpc_put_call() can then be fixed to unconditionally delete the call from
the list as it is the only place that the deletion occurs.

[ Upstream commit 2c28769a51deb6022d7fbd499987e237a01dd63a ]

If rxrpc_recvmsg() fails because MSG_DONTWAIT was specified but the call at
the front of the recvmsg queue already has its mutex locked, it requeues
the call - whether or not the call is already queued.  The call may be on
the queue because MSG_PEEK was also passed and so the call was not dequeued
or because the I/O thread requeued it.

The unconditional requeue may then corrupt the recvmsg queue, leading to
things like UAFs or refcount underruns.

Fix this by only requeuing the call if it isn't already on the queue - and
moving it to the front if it is already queued.  If we don't queue it, we
have to put the ref we obtained by dequeuing it.

Also, MSG_PEEK doesn't dequeue the call so shouldn't call
rxrpc_notify_socket() for the call if we didn't use up all the data on the
queue, so fix that also.

<title>mm/tracing: rss_stat: ensure curr is false from kthread context</title>

<id>b07fc09a226c7f059e27e7263a59bba47682d095</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 079c24d5690262e83ee476e2a548e416f3237511 upstream.

The rss_stat trace event allows userspace tools, like Perfetto [1], to
inspect per-process RSS metric changes over time.

The curr field was introduced to rss_stat in commit e4dcad204d3a
("rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm").  Its
intent is to indicate whether the RSS update is for the mm_struct of the
current execution context; and is set to false when operating on a remote
mm_struct (e.g., via kswapd or a direct reclaimer).

However, an issue arises when a kernel thread temporarily adopts a user
process's mm_struct.  Kernel threads do not have their own mm_struct and
normally have current-&gt;mm set to NULL.  To operate on user memory, they
can "borrow" a memory context using kthread_use_mm(), which sets
current-&gt;mm to the user process's mm.

This can be observed, for example, in the USB Function Filesystem (FFS)
driver.  The ffs_user_copy_worker() handles AIO completions and uses
kthread_use_mm() to copy data to a user-space buffer.  If a page fault
occurs during this copy, the fault handler executes in the kthread's
context.

At this point, current is the kthread, but current-&gt;mm points to the user
process's mm.  Since the rss_stat event (from the page fault) is for that
same mm, the condition current-&gt;mm == mm becomes true, causing curr to be
incorrectly set to true when the trace event is emitted.

This is misleading because it suggests the mm belongs to the kthread,
confusing userspace tools that track per-process RSS changes and
corrupting their mm_id-to-process association.

commit 079c24d5690262e83ee476e2a548e416f3237511 upstream.

The rss_stat trace event allows userspace tools, like Perfetto [1], to
inspect per-process RSS metric changes over time.

The curr field was introduced to rss_stat in commit e4dcad204d3a
("rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm").  Its
intent is to indicate whether the RSS update is for the mm_struct of the
current execution context; and is set to false when operating on a remote
mm_struct (e.g., via kswapd or a direct reclaimer).

However, an issue arises when a kernel thread temporarily adopts a user
process's mm_struct.  Kernel threads do not have their own mm_struct and
normally have current-&gt;mm set to NULL.  To operate on user memory, they
can "borrow" a memory context using kthread_use_mm(), which sets
current-&gt;mm to the user process's mm.

This can be observed, for example, in the USB Function Filesystem (FFS)
driver.  The ffs_user_copy_worker() handles AIO completions and uses
kthread_use_mm() to copy data to a user-space buffer.  If a page fault
occurs during this copy, the fault handler executes in the kthread's
context.

At this point, current is the kthread, but current-&gt;mm points to the user
process's mm.  Since the rss_stat event (from the page fault) is for that
same mm, the condition current-&gt;mm == mm becomes true, causing curr to be
incorrectly set to true when the trace event is emitted.

This is misleading because it suggests the mm belongs to the kthread,
confusing userspace tools that track per-process RSS changes and
corrupting their mm_id-to-process association.

Fix this by ensuring curr is always false when the trace event is emitted
from a kthread context by checking for the PF_KTHREAD flag.

<title>tracing/dma: Cap dma_map_sg tracepoint arrays to prevent buffer overflow</title>

[ Upstream commit daafcc0ef0b358d9d622b6e3b7c43767aa3814ee ]

The dma_map_sg tracepoint can trigger a perf buffer overflow when
tracing large scatter-gather lists. With devices like virtio-gpu
creating large DRM buffers, nents can exceed 1000 entries, resulting
in:

  phys_addrs: 1000 * 8 bytes = 8,000 bytes
  dma_addrs:  1000 * 8 bytes = 8,000 bytes
  lengths:    1000 * 4 bytes = 4,000 bytes
  Total: ~20,000 bytes

This exceeds PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE (8192 bytes), causing:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5497 at kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c:405
  perf buffer not large enough, wanted 24620, have 8192

Cap all three dynamic arrays at 128 entries using min() in the array
size calculation. This ensures arrays are only as large as needed
(up to the cap), avoiding unnecessary memory allocation for small
operations while preventing overflow for large ones.

The tracepoint now records the full nents/ents counts and a truncated
flag so users can see when data has been capped.

Changes in v2:
- Use min(nents, DMA_TRACE_MAX_ENTRIES) for dynamic array sizing
  instead of fixed DMA_TRACE_MAX_ENTRIES allocation (feedback from
  Steven Rostedt)
- This allocates only what's needed up to the cap, avoiding waste
  for small operations

<title>btrfs: fix NULL dereference on root when tracing inode eviction</title>

[ Upstream commit f157dd661339fc6f5f2b574fe2429c43bd309534 ]

When evicting an inode the first thing we do is to setup tracing for it,
which implies fetching the root's id. But in btrfs_evict_inode() the
root might be NULL, as implied in the next check that we do in
btrfs_evict_inode().

Hence, we either should set the -&gt;root_objectid to 0 in case the root is
NULL, or we move tracing setup after checking that the root is not
NULL. Setting the rootid to 0 at least gives us the possibility to trace
this call even in the case when the root is NULL, so that's the solution
taken here.

Instead of open coding btrfs_root_id() to get the ID of a root, use the
helper in the trace points, which also makes the code less verbose.
