[ Upstream commit 51f3a478892873337c54068d1185bcd797000a52 ]

The 'request' member of struct scsi_cmnd is superfluous. The struct request
and struct scsi_cmnd data structures are adjacent and hence the request
pointer can be derived easily from a scsi_cmnd pointer. Introduce a helper
function that performs that conversion in a type-safe way. This patch is
the first step towards removing the request member from struct
scsi_cmnd. Making that change has the following advantages:

 - This is a performance optimization since adding an offset to a pointer
   takes less time than dereferencing a pointer.

 - struct scsi_cmnd becomes smaller.

[ Upstream commit 32b1924b210a70dcacdf65abd687c5ef86a67541 ]

Stacked filesystems like overlayfs has no own writeback, but they have to
forward syncfs() requests to backend for keeping data integrity.

During global sync() each overlayfs instance calls method -&gt;sync_fs() for
backend although it itself is in global list of superblocks too.  As a
result one syscall sync() could write one superblock several times and send
multiple disk barriers.

This patch adds flag SB_I_SKIP_SYNC into sb-&gt;sb_iflags to avoid that.

hid_debug_events_release releases resources bound to the HID device instance.
hid_device_release releases the underlying HID device instance potentially
before hid_debug_events_release has completed releasing debug resources bound
to the same HID device instance.

Reference count to prevent the HID device instance from being torn down
preemptively when HID debugging support is used. When count reaches zero,
release core resources of HID device instance using hiddev_free.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: fix table flag updates</title>

commit 179d9ba5559a756f4322583388b3213fe4e391b0 upstream.

The dormant flag need to be updated from the preparation phase,
otherwise, two consecutive requests to dorm a table in the same batch
might try to remove the same hooks twice, resulting in the following
warning:

 hook not found, pf 3 num 0
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 334 at net/netfilter/core.c:480 __nf_unregister_net_hook+0x1eb/0x610 net/netfilter/core.c:480
 Modules linked in:
 CPU: 0 PID: 334 Comm: kworker/u4:5 Not tainted 5.12.0-syzkaller #0
 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011
 Workqueue: netns cleanup_net
 RIP: 0010:__nf_unregister_net_hook+0x1eb/0x610 net/netfilter/core.c:480

This patch is a partial revert of 0ce7cf4127f1 ("netfilter: nftables:
update table flags from the commit phase") to restore the previous
behaviour.

However, there is still another problem: A batch containing a series of
dorm-wakeup-dorm table and vice-versa also trigger the warning above
since hook unregistration happens from the preparation phase, while hook
registration occurs from the commit phase.

To fix this problem, this patch adds two internal flags to annotate the
original dormant flag status which are __NFT_TABLE_F_WAS_DORMANT and
__NFT_TABLE_F_WAS_AWAKEN, to restore it from the abort path.

The __NFT_TABLE_F_UPDATE bitmask allows to handle the dormant flag update
with one single transaction.

commit 179d9ba5559a756f4322583388b3213fe4e391b0 upstream.

The dormant flag need to be updated from the preparation phase,
otherwise, two consecutive requests to dorm a table in the same batch
might try to remove the same hooks twice, resulting in the following
warning:

 hook not found, pf 3 num 0
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 334 at net/netfilter/core.c:480 __nf_unregister_net_hook+0x1eb/0x610 net/netfilter/core.c:480

 Workqueue: netns cleanup_net
 RIP: 0010:__nf_unregister_net_hook+0x1eb/0x610 net/netfilter/core.c:480

This patch is a partial revert of 0ce7cf4127f1 ("netfilter: nftables:
update table flags from the commit phase") to restore the previous
behaviour.

However, there is still another problem: A batch containing a series of
dorm-wakeup-dorm table and vice-versa also trigger the warning above
since hook unregistration happens from the preparation phase, while hook
registration occurs from the commit phase.

To fix this problem, this patch adds two internal flags to annotate the
original dormant flag status which are __NFT_TABLE_F_WAS_DORMANT and
__NFT_TABLE_F_WAS_AWAKEN, to restore it from the abort path.

The __NFT_TABLE_F_UPDATE bitmask allows to handle the dormant flag update
with one single transaction.

commit cf5000a7787cbc10341091d37245a42c119d26c5 upstream.

When more than 255 elements expired we're supposed to switch to a new gc
container structure.

This never happens: u8 type will wrap before reaching the boundary
and nft_trans_gc_space() always returns true.

This means we recycle the initial gc container structure and
lose track of the elements that came before.

While at it, don't deref 'gc' after we've passed it to call_rcu.

commit 8e51830e29e12670b4c10df070a4ea4c9593e961 upstream.

Don't queue more gc work, else we may queue the same elements multiple
times.

If an element is flagged as dead, this can mean that either the previous
gc request was invalidated/discarded by a transaction or that the previous
request is still pending in the system work queue.

The latter will happen if the gc interval is set to a very low value,
e.g. 1ms, and system work queue is backlogged.

The sets refcount is 1 if no previous gc requeusts are queued, so add
a helper for this and skip gc run if old requests are pending.

Add a helper for this and skip the gc run in this case.

commit 5f68718b34a531a556f2f50300ead2862278da26 upstream.

The set types rhashtable and rbtree use a GC worker to reclaim memory.
&gt;From system work queue, in periodic intervals, a scan of the table is
done.

The major caveat here is that the nft transaction mutex is not held.
This causes a race between control plane and GC when they attempt to
delete the same element.

We cannot grab the netlink mutex from the work queue, because the
control plane has to wait for the GC work queue in case the set is to be
removed, so we get following deadlock:

   cpu 1                                cpu2
     GC work                            transaction comes in , lock nft mutex
       `acquire nft mutex // BLOCKS
                                        transaction asks to remove the set
                                        set destruction calls cancel_work_sync()

cancel_work_sync will now block forever, because it is waiting for the
mutex the caller already owns.

This patch adds a new API that deals with garbage collection in two
steps:

1) Lockless GC of expired elements sets on the NFT_SET_ELEM_DEAD_BIT
   so they are not visible via lookup. Annotate current GC sequence in
   the GC transaction. Enqueue GC transaction work as soon as it is
   full. If ruleset is updated, then GC transaction is aborted and
   retried later.

2) GC work grabs the mutex. If GC sequence has changed then this GC
   transaction lost race with control plane, abort it as it contains
   stale references to objects and let GC try again later. If the
   ruleset is intact, then this GC transaction deactivates and removes
   the elements and it uses call_rcu() to destroy elements.

Note that no elements are removed from GC lockless path, the _DEAD bit
is set and pointers are collected. GC catchall does not remove the
elements anymore too. There is a new set-&gt;dead flag that is set on to
abort the GC transaction to deal with set-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy() path which
removes the remaining elements in the set from commit_release, where no
mutex is held.

To deal with GC when mutex is held, which allows safe deactivate and
removal, add sync GC API which releases the set element object via
call_rcu(). This is used by rbtree and pipapo backends which also
perform garbage collection from control plane path.

Since element removal from sets can happen from control plane and
element garbage collection/timeout, it is necessary to keep the set
structure alive until all elements have been deactivated and destroyed.

We cannot do a cancel_work_sync or flush_work in nft_set_destroy because
its called with the transaction mutex held, but the aforementioned async
work queue might be blocked on the very mutex that nft_set_destroy()
callchain is sitting on.

This gives us the choice of ABBA deadlock or UaF.

To avoid both, add set-&gt;refs refcount_t member. The GC API can then
increment the set refcount and release it once the elements have been
free'd.

Set backends are adapted to use the GC transaction API in a follow up
patch entitled:

  ("netfilter: nf_tables: use gc transaction API in set backends")

This is joint work with Florian Westphal.
