commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 upstream.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed -&gt;numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make -&gt;numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

commit effa467870c7612012885df4e246bdb8ffd8e44c upstream.

Intel VT-d driver was reworked to use common deferred flushing
implementation. Previously there was one global per-cpu flush queue,
afterwards - one per domain.

Before deferring a flush, the queue should be allocated and initialized.

Currently only domains with IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA type initialize their flush
queue. It's probably worth to init it for static or unmanaged domains
too, but it may be arguable - I'm leaving it to iommu folks.

Prevent queuing an iova flush if the domain doesn't have a queue.
The defensive check seems to be worth to keep even if queue would be
initialized for all kinds of domains. And is easy backportable.

On 4.19.43 stable kernel it has a user-visible effect: previously for
devices in si domain there were crashes, on sata devices:

commit 3b4477d2dcf2709d0be89e2a8dced3d0f4a017f2 upstream.

There are two state fields: socket-&gt;state and sock-&gt;sk_state.  The
socket-&gt;state field uses SS_UNCONNECTED, SS_CONNECTED, etc while the
sock-&gt;sk_state typically uses values that match TCP state constants
(TCP_CLOSE, TCP_ESTABLISHED).  AF_VSOCK does not follow this convention
and instead uses SS_* constants for both fields.

The sk_state field will be exposed to userspace through the vsock_diag
interface for ss(8), netstat(8), and other programs.

This patch switches sk_state to TCP state constants so that the meaning
of this field is consistent with other address families.  Not just
AF_INET and AF_INET6 use the TCP constants, AF_UNIX and others do too.

The following mapping was used to convert the code:

  SS_FREE -&gt; TCP_CLOSE
  SS_UNCONNECTED -&gt; TCP_CLOSE
  SS_CONNECTING -&gt; TCP_SYN_SENT
  SS_CONNECTED -&gt; TCP_ESTABLISHED
  SS_DISCONNECTING -&gt; TCP_CLOSING
  VSOCK_SS_LISTEN -&gt; TCP_LISTEN

In __vsock_create() the sk_state initialization was dropped because
sock_init_data() already initializes sk_state to TCP_CLOSE.

<title>access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentials</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d7852fbd0f0423937fa287a598bfde188bb68c22 upstream.

It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU
work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and
freed for each system call.

The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because
credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing
involves a RCU grace period.

Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access()
calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a
nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have
all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores,
the RCU overhead can end up being enormous.

But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary.  Exactly
because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local
subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need
to be RCU free'd at all.  Once we're done using it, we can just free it
synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead.

So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that
know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential
users for this).  We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head
that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage.

Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu
flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the
cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards.  It's not
entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics:
the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it
synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as
a generic cred if you want to.

It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for
-&gt;cred entirely.  Only -&gt;real_cred is really supposed to be accessed
through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to
explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have
get_current_cred() do it implicitly.

But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate
problem.

commit d7852fbd0f0423937fa287a598bfde188bb68c22 upstream.

It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU
work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and
freed for each system call.

The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because
credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing
involves a RCU grace period.

Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access()
calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a
nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have
all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores,
the RCU overhead can end up being enormous.

But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary.  Exactly
because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local
subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need
to be RCU free'd at all.  Once we're done using it, we can just free it
synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead.

So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that
know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential
users for this).  We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head
that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage.

Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu
flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the
cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards.  It's not
entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics:
the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it
synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as
a generic cred if you want to.

It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for
-&gt;cred entirely.  Only -&gt;real_cred is really supposed to be accessed
through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to
explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have
get_current_cred() do it implicitly.

But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate
problem.

<title>jbd2: introduce jbd2_inode dirty range scoping</title>

commit 6ba0e7dc64a5adcda2fbe65adc466891795d639e upstream.

Currently both journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and
journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() operate on the entire address space
of each of the inodes associated with a given journal entry.  The
consequence of this is that if we have an inode where we are constantly
appending dirty pages we can end up waiting for an indefinite amount of
time in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() while we wait for all the
pages under writeback to be written out.

The easiest way to cause this type of workload is do just dd from
/dev/zero to a file until it fills the entire filesystem.  This can
cause journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() to wait for the duration of
the entire dd operation.

We can improve this situation by scoping each of the inode dirty ranges
associated with a given transaction.  We do this via the jbd2_inode
structure so that the scoping is contained within jbd2 and so that it
follows the lifetime and locking rules for that structure.

This allows us to limit the writeback &amp; wait in
journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and
journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() respectively to the dirty range for
a given struct jdb2_inode, keeping us from waiting forever if the inode
in question is still being appended to.

[ Upstream commit 8d650cdedaabb33e85e9b7c517c0c71fcecc1de9 ]

Neal reported incorrect use of ns_capable() from bpf hook.

bpf_setsockopt(...TCP_CONGESTION...)
  -&gt; tcp_set_congestion_control()
   -&gt; ns_capable(sock_net(sk)-&gt;user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)
    -&gt; ns_capable_common()
     -&gt; current_cred()
      -&gt; rcu_dereference_protected(current-&gt;cred, 1)

Accessing 'current' in bpf context makes no sense, since packets
are processed from softirq context.

As Neal stated : The capability check in tcp_set_congestion_control()
was written assuming a system call context, and then was reused from
a BPF call site.

The fix is to add a new parameter to tcp_set_congestion_control(),
so that the ns_capable() call is only performed under the right
context.

[ Upstream commit b60a77386b1d4868f72f6353d35dabe5fbe981f2 ]

netfilter did not expect that skb_dst_force() can cause skb to lose its
dst entry.

I got a bug report with a skb-&gt;dst NULL dereference in netfilter
output path.  The backtrace contains nf_reinject(), so the dst might have
been cleared when skb got queued to userspace.

Other users were fixed via
if (skb_dst(skb)) {
	skb_dst_force(skb);
	if (!skb_dst(skb))
		goto handle_err;
}

But I think its preferable to make the 'dst might be cleared' part
of the function explicit.

In netfilter case, skb with a null dst is expected when queueing in
prerouting hook, so drop skb for the other hooks.

v2:
 v1 of this patch returned true in case skb had no dst entry.
 Eric said:
   Say if we have two skb_dst_force() calls for some reason
   on the same skb, only the first one will return false.

 This now returns false even when skb had no dst, as per Erics
 suggestion, so callers might need to check skb_dst() first before
 skb_dst_force().
