<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

pppol2tp_tunnel_ioctl() can act on an L2TPv3 tunnel, in which case
'session' may be an Ethernet pseudo-wire.

However, pppol2tp_session_ioctl() expects a PPP pseudo-wire, as it
assumes l2tp_session_priv() points to a pppol2tp_session structure. For
an Ethernet pseudo-wire l2tp_session_priv() points to an l2tp_eth_sess
structure instead, making pppol2tp_session_ioctl() access invalid
memory.

The /proc/net/pppol2tp handlers (pppol2tp_seq_*()) iterate over all
L2TPv2 tunnels, and rightfully expect that only PPP sessions can be
found there. However, l2tp_netlink accepts creating Ethernet sessions
regardless of the underlying tunnel version.

This confuses pppol2tp_seq_session_show(), which expects that
l2tp_session_priv() returns a pppol2tp_session structure. When the
session is an Ethernet pseudo-wire, a struct l2tp_eth_sess is returned
instead. This leads to invalid memory access when
pppol2tp_session_get_sock() later tries to dereference ps-&gt;sk.

If 'fd' is negative, l2tp_tunnel_create() creates a tunnel socket using
the configuration passed in 'tcfg'. Currently, pppol2tp_connect() sets
the relevant fields to zero, tricking l2tp_tunnel_create() into setting
up an unusable kernel socket.

We can't set 'tcfg' with the required fields because there's no way to
get them from the current connect() parameters. So let's restrict
kernel sockets creation to the netlink API, which is the original use
case.

l2tp_session_priv() returns a struct pppol2tp_session pointer only for
PPPoL2TP sessions. In particular, if the session is an L2TP_PWTYPE_ETH
pseudo-wire, l2tp_session_priv() returns a pointer to an l2tp_eth_sess
structure, which is much smaller than struct pppol2tp_session. This
leads to invalid memory dereference when trying to lock ps-&gt;sk_lock.

Define cfg.pw_type so that the new session is created with its .pwtype
field properly set (L2TP_PWTYPE_PPP).

Not setting the pseudo-wire type had several annoying effects:

  * Invalid value returned in the L2TP_ATTR_PW_TYPE attribute when
    dumping sessions with the netlink API.

  * Impossibility to delete the session using the netlink API (because
    l2tp_nl_cmd_session_delete() gets the deletion callback function
    from an array indexed by the session's pseudo-wire type).

Also, there are several cases where we should check a session's
pseudo-wire type. For example, pppol2tp_connect() should refuse to
connect a session that is not PPPoL2TP, but that requires the session's
.pwtype field to be properly set.

Commit d02ba2a6110c ("l2tp: fix race in pppol2tp_release with session
object destroy") tried to fix a race condition where a PPPoL2TP socket
would disappear while the L2TP session was still using it. However, it
missed the root issue which is that an L2TP session may accept to be
reconnected if its associated socket has entered the release process.

The tentative fix makes the session hold the socket it is connected to.
That saves the kernel from crashing, but introduces refcount leakage,
preventing the socket from completing the release process. Once stalled,
everything the socket depends on can't be released anymore, including
the L2TP session and the l2tp_ppp module.

The root issue is that, when releasing a connected PPPoL2TP socket, the
session's -&gt;sk pointer (RCU-protected) is reset to NULL and we have to
wait for a grace period before destroying the socket. The socket drops
the session in its -&gt;sk_destruct callback function, so the session
will exist until the last reference on the socket is dropped.
Therefore, there is a time frame where pppol2tp_connect() may accept
reconnecting a session, as it only checks -&gt;sk to figure out if the
session is connected. This time frame is shortened by the fact that
pppol2tp_release() calls l2tp_session_delete(), making the session
unreachable before resetting -&gt;sk. However, pppol2tp_connect() may
grab the session before it gets unhashed by l2tp_session_delete(), but
it may test -&gt;sk after the later got reset. The race is not so hard to
trigger and syzbot found a pretty reliable reproducer:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=418578d2a4389074524e04d641eacb091961b2cf

Before d02ba2a6110c, another race could let pppol2tp_release()
overwrite the -&gt;__sk pointer of an L2TP session, thus tricking
pppol2tp_put_sk() into calling sock_put() on a socket that is different
than the one for which pppol2tp_release() was originally called. To get
there, we had to trigger the race described above, therefore having one
PPPoL2TP socket being released, while the session it is connected to is
reconnecting to a different PPPoL2TP socket. When releasing this new
socket fast enough, pppol2tp_release() overwrites the session's
-&gt;__sk pointer with the address of the new socket, before the first
pppol2tp_put_sk() call gets scheduled. Then the pppol2tp_put_sk() call
invoked by the original socket will sock_put() the new socket,
potentially dropping its last reference. When the second
pppol2tp_put_sk() finally runs, its socket has already been freed.

With d02ba2a6110c, the session takes a reference on both sockets.
Furthermore, the session's -&gt;sk pointer is reset in the
pppol2tp_session_close() callback function rather than in
pppol2tp_release(). Therefore, -&gt;__sk can't be overwritten and
pppol2tp_put_sk() is called only once (l2tp_session_delete() will only
run pppol2tp_session_close() once, to protect the session against
concurrent deletion requests). Now pppol2tp_put_sk() will properly
sock_put() the original socket, but the new socket will remain, as
l2tp_session_delete() prevented the release process from completing.
Here, we don't depend on the -&gt;__sk race to trigger the bug. Getting
into the pppol2tp_connect() race is enough to leak the reference, no
matter when new socket is released.

So it all boils down to pppol2tp_connect() failing to realise that the
session has already been connected. This patch drops the unneeded extra
reference counting (mostly reverting d02ba2a6110c) and checks that
neither -&gt;sk nor -&gt;__sk is set before allowing a session to be
connected.
