When an afs_volume struct is put, its refcount is reduced to 0 before
the cell-&gt;volume_lock is taken and the volume removed from the
cell-&gt;volumes tree.

Unfortunately, this means that the lookup code can race and see a volume
with a zero ref in the tree, resulting in a use-after-free:

    refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Fix this by:

 (1) When putting, use a flag to indicate if the volume has been removed
     from the tree and skip the rb_erase if it has.

 (2) When looking up, use a conditional ref increment and if it fails
     because the refcount is 0, replace the node in the tree and set the
     removal flag.

In afs_update_cell(), ret is the result of the DNS lookup and the errors
are to be handled by a switch - however, the value gets clobbered in
between by setting it to -ENOMEM in case afs_alloc_vlserver_list()
fails.

Fix this by moving the setting of -ENOMEM into the error handling for
OOM failure.  Further, only do it if we don't have an alternative error
to return.

<title>afs: Fix dynamic root lookup DNS check</title>

<content type='text'>
In the afs dynamic root directory, the -&gt;lookup() function does a DNS check
on the cell being asked for and if the DNS upcall reports an error it will
report an error back to userspace (typically ENOENT).

However, if a failed DNS upcall returns a new-style result, it will return
a valid result, with the status field set appropriately to indicate the
type of failure - and in that case, dns_query() doesn't return an error and
we let stat() complete with no error - which can cause confusion in
userspace as subsequent calls that trigger d_automount then fail with
ENOENT.

Fix this by checking the status result from a valid dns_query() and
returning an error if it indicates a failure.

<title>afs: Fix refcount underflow from error handling race</title>
<updated>2023-12-11T23:40:41+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>
<email>dhowells@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2023-12-11T21:43:52+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=52bf9f6c09fca8c74388cd41cc24e5d1bff812a9'/>
<id>52bf9f6c09fca8c74388cd41cc24e5d1bff812a9</id>
<content type='text'>
If an AFS cell that has an unreachable (eg. ENETUNREACH) server listed (VL
server or fileserver), an asynchronous probe to one of its addresses may
fail immediately because sendmsg() returns an error.  When this happens, a
refcount underflow can happen if certain events hit a very small window.

The way this occurs is:

 (1) There are two levels of "call" object, the afs_call and the
     rxrpc_call.  Each of them can be transitioned to a "completed" state
     in the event of success or failure.

 (2) Asynchronous afs_calls are self-referential whilst they are active to
     prevent them from evaporating when they're not being processed.  This
     reference is disposed of when the afs_call is completed.

     Note that an afs_call may only be completed once; once completed
     completing it again will do nothing.

 (3) When a call transmission is made, the app-side rxrpc code queues a Tx
     buffer for the rxrpc I/O thread to transmit.  The I/O thread invokes
     sendmsg() to transmit it - and in the case of failure, it transitions
     the rxrpc_call to the completed state.

 (4) When an rxrpc_call is completed, the app layer is notified.  In this
     case, the app is kafs and it schedules a work item to process events
     pertaining to an afs_call.

 (5) When the afs_call event processor is run, it goes down through the
     RPC-specific handler to afs_extract_data() to retrieve data from rxrpc
     - and, in this case, it picks up the error from the rxrpc_call and
     returns it.

     The error is then propagated to the afs_call and that is completed
     too.  At this point the self-reference is released.

 (6) If the rxrpc I/O thread manages to complete the rxrpc_call within the
     window between rxrpc_send_data() queuing the request packet and
     checking for call completion on the way out, then
     rxrpc_kernel_send_data() will return the error from sendmsg() to the
     app.

 (7) Then afs_make_call() will see an error and will jump to the error
     handling path which will attempt to clean up the afs_call.

 (8) The problem comes when the error handling path in afs_make_call()
     tries to unconditionally drop an async afs_call's self-reference.
     This self-reference, however, may already have been dropped by
     afs_extract_data() completing the afs_call

 (9) The refcount underflows when we return to afs_do_probe_vlserver() and
     that tries to drop its reference on the afs_call.

Fix this by making afs_make_call() attempt to complete the afs_call rather
than unconditionally putting it.  That way, if afs_extract_data() manages
to complete the call first, afs_make_call() won't do anything.

The bug can be forced by making do_udp_sendmsg() return -ENETUNREACH and
sticking an msleep() in rxrpc_send_data() after the 'success:' label to
widen the race window.

The error message looks something like:

    refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

<title>afs: Fix file locking on R/O volumes to operate in local mode</title>

<content type='text'>
AFS doesn't really do locking on R/O volumes as fileservers don't maintain
state with each other and thus a lock on a R/O volume file on one
fileserver will not be be visible to someone looking at the same file on
another fileserver.

Further, the server may return an error if you try it.

Fix this by doing what other AFS clients do and handle filelocking on R/O
volume files entirely within the client and don't touch the server.

Make AFS return error ENOENT if no cell SRV or AFSDB DNS record (or
cellservdb config file record) can be found rather than returning
EDESTADDRREQ.

Also add cell name lookup info to the cursor dump.

<title>afs: Make error on cell lookup failure consistent with OpenAFS</title>

When kafs tries to look up a cell in the DNS or the local config, it will
translate a lookup failure into EDESTADDRREQ whereas OpenAFS translates it
into ENOENT.  Applications such as West expect the latter behaviour and
fail if they see the former.

This can be seen by trying to mount an unknown cell:

   # mount -t afs %example.com:cell.root /mnt
   mount: /mnt: mount(2) system call failed: Destination address required.

afs_server_list is accessed with the rcu_read_lock() held from
volume-&gt;servers, so it needs to be cleaned up correctly.

Fix this by using kfree_rcu() instead of kfree().
