<title>Treewide: Stop corrupting socket's task_frag</title>

<id>98123866fcf3fe95a0c1b198ef122dfdbd351916</id>
<content type='text'>
Since moving to memalloc_nofs_save/restore, SUNRPC has stopped setting the
GFP_NOIO flag on sk_allocation which the networking system uses to decide
when it is safe to use current-&gt;task_frag.  The results of this are
unexpected corruption in task_frag when SUNRPC is involved in memory
reclaim.

The corruption can be seen in crashes, but the root cause is often
difficult to ascertain as a crashing machine's stack trace will have no
evidence of being near NFS or SUNRPC code.  I believe this problem to
be much more pervasive than reports to the community may indicate.

Fix this by having kernel users of sockets that may corrupt task_frag due
to reclaim set sk_use_task_frag = false.  Preemptively correcting this
situation for users that still set sk_allocation allows them to convert to
memalloc_nofs_save/restore without the same unexpected corruptions that are
sure to follow, unlikely to show up in testing, and difficult to bisect.

Since commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void")
forces bus_type::remove be void-returned, it doesn't make much sense for
any bus based driver implementing remove callbalk to return non-void to
its caller.

This change is for xen bus based drivers.

KCSAN reported a race between writing req-&gt;status in p9_client_cb and
accessing it in p9_client_rpc's wait_event.

Accesses to req itself is protected by the data barrier (writing req
fields, write barrier, writing status // reading status, read barrier,
reading other req fields), but status accesses themselves apparently
also must be annotated properly with WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE when we
access it without locks.

Follows:
 - error paths writing status in various threads all can notify
p9_client_rpc, so these all also need WRITE_ONCE
 - there's a similar read loop in trans_virtio for zc case that also
needs READ_ONCE
 - other reads in trans_fd should be protected by the trans_fd lock and
lists state machine, as corresponding writers all are within trans_fd
and should be under the same lock. If KCSAN complains on them we likely
will have something else to fix as well, so it's better to leave them
unmarked and look again if required.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 60ece0833b6c ("net/9p: allocate appropriate reduced message
buffers") it is no longer appropriate to check server's response size
against msize. Check against the previously allocated buffer capacity
instead.

- Omit this size check entirely for zero-copy messages, as those always
  allocate 4k (P9_ZC_HDR_SZ) linear buffers which are not used for actual
  payload and can be much bigger than 4k.

- Replace p9_debug() by pr_err() to make sure this message is always
  printed in case this error is triggered.

- Add 9p message type to error message to ease investigation.

<content type='text'>
Add boolean `zc` member to struct p9_fcall to distinguish zero-copy
messages (not using the linear `sdata` buffer for message payload) from
regular messages (which do copy message payload to `sdata` before being
further processed).

This new member is appended to end of structure to avoid inserting huge
padding in generated layout.

Add boolean `zc` member to struct p9_fcall to distinguish zero-copy
messages (not using the linear `sdata` buffer for message payload) from
regular messages (which do copy message payload to `sdata` before being
further processed).

This new member is appended to end of structure to avoid inserting huge
padding in generated layout.

while 'h' is packed and can be assumed to match the request payload,
req-&gt;rc is a struct p9_fcall which is not packed and that memcpy
could be wrong.

Fix this by copying each fields individually instead.

When a new request is allocated, the refcount will be zero if it is
reused, but if the request is newly allocated from slab, it is not fully
initialized before being added to idr.

If the p9_read_work got a response before the refcount initiated. It will
use a uninitialized req, which will result in a bad request data struct.

Here is the logs from syzbot.

                              /* increments uninitalized refcount */

        refcount_set(&amp;req-&gt;refcount, 2);
                            /* cb drops one ref */
                            p9_client_cb(req)

    /* use after free and ref underflow */
    p9_req_put(req)

To fix it, we can initialize the refcount to zero before add to idr.
