commit d4b09acf924b84bae77cad090a9d108e70b43643 upstream.

if node have NFSv41+ mounts inside several net namespaces
it can lead to use-after-free in svc_process_common()

svc_process_common()
        /* Setup reply header */
        rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt-&gt;xpt_ops-&gt;xpo_prep_reply_hdr(rqstp); &lt;&lt;&lt; HERE

svc_process_common() can use incorrect rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt,
its caller function bc_svc_process() takes it from serv-&gt;sv_bc_xprt.
The problem is that serv is global structure but sv_bc_xprt
is assigned per-netnamespace.

According to Trond, the whole "let's set up rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt
for the back channel" is nothing but a giant hack in order
to work around the fact that svc_process_common() uses it
to find the xpt_ops, and perform a couple of (meaningless
for the back channel) tests of xpt_flags.

All we really need in svc_process_common() is to be able to run
rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt-&gt;xpt_ops-&gt;xpo_prep_reply_hdr()

Bruce J Fields points that this xpo_prep_reply_hdr() call
is an awfully roundabout way just to do "svc_putnl(resv, 0);"
in the tcp case.

This patch does not initialiuze rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt in bc_svc_process(),
now it calls svc_process_common() with rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt = NULL.

To adjust reply header svc_process_common() just check
rqstp-&gt;rq_prot and calls svc_tcp_prep_reply_hdr() for tcp case.

To handle rqstp-&gt;rq_xprt = NULL case in functions called from
svc_process_common() patch intruduces net namespace pointer
svc_rqst-&gt;rq_bc_net and adjust SVC_NET() definition.
Some other function was also adopted to properly handle described case.

commit 574d356b7a02c7e1b01a1d9cba8a26b3c2888f45 upstream.

If the requested msize is too small (either from command line argument
or from the server version reply), we won't get any work done.
If it's *really* too small, nothing will work, and this got caught by
syzbot recently (on a new kmem_cache_create_usercopy() call)

Just set a minimum msize to 4k in both code paths, until someone
complains they have a use-case for a smaller msize.

We need to check in both mount option and server reply individually
because the msize for the first version request would be unchecked
with just a global check on clnt-&gt;msize.

commit 4ecd55ea074217473f94cfee21bb72864d39f8d7 upstream.

After commit d202cce8963d, an expired cache_head can be removed from the
cache_detail's hash.

However, the expired cache_head may be waiting for a reply from a
previously submitted request. Such a cache_head has an increased
refcounter and therefore it won't be freed after cache_put(freeme).

Because the cache_head was removed from the hash it cannot be found
during cache_clean() and can be leaked forever, together with stalled
cache_request and other taken resources.

In our case we noticed it because an entry in the export cache was
holding a reference on a filesystem.

When adjusting sack block sequence numbers, skb_make_writable() gets
called to make sure tcp options are all in the linear area, and buffer
is not shared.

This can cause tcp header pointer to get reallocated, so we must
reaload it to avoid memory corruption.

[ Upstream commit 3a0ed3e9619738067214871e9cb826fa23b2ddb9 ]

Al Viro mentioned (Message-ID
&lt;20170626041334.GZ10672@ZenIV.linux.org.uk&gt;)
that there is probably a race condition
lurking in accesses of sk_stamp on 32-bit machines.

sock-&gt;sk_stamp is of type ktime_t which is always an s64.
On a 32 bit architecture, we might run into situations of
unsafe access as the access to the field becomes non atomic.

Use seqlocks for synchronization.
This allows us to avoid using spinlocks for readers as
readers do not need mutual exclusion.

Another approach to solve this is to require sk_lock for all
modifications of the timestamps. The current approach allows
for timestamps to have their own lock: sk_stamp_lock.
This allows for the patch to not compete with already
existing critical sections, and side effects are limited
to the paths in the patch.

The addition of the new field maintains the data locality
optimizations from
commit 9115e8cd2a0c ("net: reorganize struct sock for better data
locality")

Note that all the instances of the sk_stamp accesses
are either through the ioctl or the syscall recvmsg.
