[ Upstream commit 78385c7299f7514697d196b3233a91bd5e485591 ]

The struct io_uring_buf elements in a buffer ring are in a memory region
accessible from userspace. A malicious/buggy userspace program could
therefore write to them at any time, so they should be accessed with
READ_ONCE() in the kernel. Commit 98b6fa62c84f ("io_uring/kbuf: always
use READ_ONCE() to read ring provided buffer lengths") already switched
the reads of the len field to READ_ONCE(). Do the same for bid and addr.

<title>io_uring/zcrx: call netdev_queue_get_dma_dev() under instance lock</title>

[ Upstream commit b6c5f9454ef34fd2753ba7843ef4d9a295c43eee ]

netdev ops must be called under instance lock or rtnl_lock, but
io_register_zcrx_ifq() isn't doing this for netdev_queue_get_dma_dev().
Fix this by taking the instance lock using netdev_get_by_index_lock().

Extended the instance lock section to include attaching a memory
provider. Could not move io_zcrx_create_area() outside, since the dmabuf
codepath IORING_ZCRX_AREA_DMABUF requires ifq-&gt;dev.

<title>io_uring: fix mixed cqe overflow handling</title>

I started to see zcrx data corruptions. That turned out to be due
to CQ tail pointing to a stale entry which happened to be from
a zcrx request. I.e. the tail is incremented without the CQE
memory being changed.

The culprit is __io_cqring_overflow_flush() passing "cqe32=true"
to io_get_cqe_overflow() for non-mixed CQE32 setups, which only
expects it to be set for mixed 32B CQEs and not for SETUP_CQE32.

The fix is slightly hacky, long term it's better to unify mixed and
CQE32 handling.

<title>io_uring/net: ensure vectored buffer node import is tied to notification</title>

When support for vectored registered buffers was added, the import
itself is using 'req' rather than the notification io_kiocb, sr-&gt;notif.
For non-vectored imports, sr-&gt;notif is correctly used. This is important
as the lifetime of the two may be different. Use the correct io_kiocb
for the vectored buffer import.

If timestamp retriving needs to be retried and the local list of
SKB's already has entries, then it's spliced back into the socket
queue. However, the arguments for the splice helper are transposed,
causing exactly the wrong direction of splicing into the on-stack
list. Fix that up.

<title>io_uring/rsrc: don't use blk_rq_nr_phys_segments() as number of bvecs</title>

io_buffer_register_bvec() currently uses blk_rq_nr_phys_segments() as
the number of bvecs in the request. However, bvecs may be split into
multiple segments depending on the queue limits. Thus, the number of
segments may overestimate the number of bvecs. For ublk devices, the
only current users of io_buffer_register_bvec(), virt_boundary_mask,
seg_boundary_mask, max_segments, and max_segment_size can all be set
arbitrarily by the ublk server process.
Set imu-&gt;nr_bvecs based on the number of bvecs the rq_for_each_bvec()
loop actually yields. However, continue using blk_rq_nr_phys_segments()
as an upper bound on the number of bvecs when allocating imu to avoid
needing to iterate the bvecs a second time.

It's useful to know which query opcodes are available. Extend the
structure and return that. It's a trivial change, and even though it can
be painlessly extended later, it'd still require adding a v2 of the
structure.

A previous commit reused the recyling infrastructure for early cleanup,
but this is not enough for the case where our internal caches have
overflowed. If this happens, then the allocated iovec can get leaked if
the request is also aborted early.

Reinstate the previous forced free of the iovec for that situation.
