commit b3b02ae5865c2dcd506322e0fc6def59a042e72f upstream.

If the call to svc_process_common() fails, then the request
needs to be freed before we can exit bc_svc_process.

<title>sunrpc: fix loss of task-&gt;tk_status after rpc_delay call in xprt_alloc_slot</title>

commit 1afeaf5c29aa07db25760d2fbed5c08a3aec3498 upstream.

xprt_alloc_slot will call rpc_delay() to make the task wait a bit before
retrying when it gets back an -ENOMEM error from xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot.
The problem is that rpc_delay will clear the task-&gt;tk_status, causing
call_reserveresult to abort the task.

The solution is simply to let call_reserveresult handle the ENOMEM error
directly.

commit 540a0f7584169651f485e8ab67461fcb06934e38 upstream.

The problem is that for the case of priority queues, we
have to assume that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority will move new
elements from the tk_wait.links lists into the queue-&gt;tasks[] list.
We therefore cannot use list_for_each_entry_safe() on queue-&gt;tasks[],
since that will skip these new tasks that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority
is adding.

Without this fix, rpc_wake_up and rpc_wake_up_status will both fail
to wake up all functions on priority wait queues, which can result
in some nasty hangs.

<title>svcrpc: avoid memory-corruption on pool shutdown</title>

commit b4f36f88b3ee7cf26bf0be84e6c7fc15f84dcb71 upstream.

Socket callbacks use svc_xprt_enqueue() to add an xprt to a
pool-&gt;sp_sockets list.  In normal operation a server thread will later
come along and take the xprt off that list.  On shutdown, after all the
threads have exited, we instead manually walk the sv_tempsocks and
sv_permsocks lists to find all the xprt's and delete them.

So the sp_sockets lists don't really matter any more.  As a result,
we've mostly just ignored them and hoped they would go away.

Which has gotten us into trouble; witness for example ebc63e531cc6
"svcrpc: fix list-corrupting race on nfsd shutdown", the result of Ben
Greear noticing that a still-running svc_xprt_enqueue() could re-add an
xprt to an sp_sockets list just before it was deleted.  The fix was to
remove it from the list at the end of svc_delete_xprt().  But that only
made corruption less likely--I can see nothing that prevents a
svc_xprt_enqueue() from adding another xprt to the list at the same
moment that we're removing this xprt from the list.  In fact, despite
the earlier xpo_detach(), I don't even see what guarantees that
svc_xprt_enqueue() couldn't still be running on this xprt.

So, instead, note that svc_xprt_enqueue() essentially does:
	lock sp_lock
		if XPT_BUSY unset
			add to sp_sockets
	unlock sp_lock

So, if we do:

	set XPT_BUSY on every xprt.
	Empty every sp_sockets list, under the sp_socks locks.

Then we're left knowing that the sp_sockets lists are all empty and will
stay that way, since any svc_xprt_enqueue() will check XPT_BUSY under
the sp_lock and see it set.

And *then* we can continue deleting the xprt's.

(Thanks to Jeff Layton for being correctly suspicious of this code....)

commit 61c8504c428edcebf23b97775a129c5b393a302b upstream.

The pool_to and to_pool fields of the global svc_pool_map are freed on
shutdown, but are initialized in nfsd startup only in the
SVC_POOL_PERCPU and SVC_POOL_PERNODE cases.

They *are* initialized to zero on kernel startup.  So as long as you use
only SVC_POOL_GLOBAL (the default), this will never be a problem.

You're also OK if you only ever use SVC_POOL_PERCPU or SVC_POOL_PERNODE.

However, the following sequence events leads to a double-free:

	1. set SVC_POOL_PERCPU or SVC_POOL_PERNODE
	2. start nfsd: both fields are initialized.
	3. shutdown nfsd: both fields are freed.
	4. set SVC_POOL_GLOBAL
	5. start nfsd: the fields are left untouched.
	6. shutdown nfsd: now we try to free them again.

Step 4 is actually unnecessary, since (for some bizarre reason), nfsd
automatically resets the pool mode to SVC_POOL_GLOBAL on shutdown.

commit bf118a342f10dafe44b14451a1392c3254629a1f upstream.

The NFSv4 bitmap size is unbounded: a server can return an arbitrary
sized bitmap in an FATTR4_WORD0_ACL request.  Replace using the
nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz as a guess to the maximum bitmask returned by a server
with the inclusion of the bitmap (xdr length plus bitmasks) and the acl data
xdr length to the (cached) acl page data.

This is a general solution to commit e5012d1f "NFSv4.1: update
nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz" and fixes hitting a BUG_ON in xdr_shrink_bufhead
when getting ACLs.

Fix a bug in decode_getacl that returned -EINVAL on ACLs &gt; page when getxattr
was called with a NULL buffer, preventing ACL &gt; PAGE_SIZE from being retrieved.
