[ Upstream commit 0453c682459583910d611a96de928f4442205493 ]

This patch adds a limit on the number of skbs that fuzzers can queue
into loopback_queue. 1000 packets for rose loopback seems more than enough.

Then, since we now have multiple cpus in most linux hosts,
we also need to limit the number of skbs rose_loopback_timer()
can dequeue at each round.

rose_loopback_queue() can be drop-monitor friendly, calling
consume_skb() or kfree_skb() appropriately.

Finally, use mod_timer() instead of del_timer() + add_timer()

[ Upstream commit e5dcc0c3223c45c94100f05f28d8ef814db3d82c ]

rose_write_internal() uses a temp buffer of 100 bytes, but a manual
inspection showed that given arbitrary input, rose_create_facilities()
can fill up to 110 bytes.

Lets use a tailroom of 256 bytes for peace of mind, and remove
the bounce buffer : we can simply allocate a big enough skb
and adjust its length as needed.

<title>net/rose: fix NULL ax25_cb kernel panic</title>

<id>b0cf029234f9b18e10703ba5147f0389c382bccc</id>
<content type='text'>
When an internally generated frame is handled by rose_xmit(),
rose_route_frame() is called:

        if (!rose_route_frame(skb, NULL)) {
                dev_kfree_skb(skb);
                stats-&gt;tx_errors++;
                return NETDEV_TX_OK;
        }

We have the same code sequence in Net/Rom where an internally generated
frame is handled by nr_xmit() calling nr_route_frame(skb, NULL).
However, in this function NULL argument is tested while it is not in
rose_route_frame().
Then kernel panic occurs later on when calling ax25cmp() with a NULL
ax25_cb argument as reported many times and recently with syzbot.

We need to test if ax25 is NULL before using it.

Testing:
Built kernel with CONFIG_ROSE=y.

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

<content type='text'>
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 ]

<id>6396bb221514d2876fd6dc0aa2a1f240d99b37bb</id>
<content type='text'>
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kcalloc(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

// Fix redundant parens around sizeof().

Variants of proc_create{,_data} that directly take a struct seq_operations
argument and drastically reduces the boilerplate code in the callers.

All trivial callers converted over.

Prefer the direct use of octal for permissions.

Done with checkpatch -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace
and some typing.

Miscellanea:

o Whitespace neatening around these conversions.

<title>net: make getname() functions return length rather than use int* parameter</title>

<id>9b2c45d479d0fb8647c9e83359df69162b5fbe5f</id>

Changes since v1:
Added changes in these files:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/usnic/usnic_transport.c
    drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c
    drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_login.c
    drivers/vhost/net.c
    fs/dlm/lowcomms.c
    fs/ocfs2/cluster/tcp.c
    security/tomoyo/network.c

Before:
All these functions either return a negative error indicator,
or store length of sockaddr into "int *socklen" parameter
and return zero on success.

"int *socklen" parameter is awkward. For example, if caller does not
care, it still needs to provide on-stack storage for the value
it does not need.

None of the many FOO_getname() functions of various protocols
ever used old value of *socklen. They always just overwrite it.

This change drops this parameter, and makes all these functions, on success,
return length of sockaddr. It's always &gt;= 0 and can be differentiated
from an error.

Tests in callers are changed from "if (err)" to "if (err &lt; 0)", where needed.

rpc_sockname() lost "int buflen" parameter, since its only use was
to be passed to kernel_getsockname() as &amp;buflen and subsequently
not used in any way.

Userspace API is not changed.
