<id>9a307403d374b993061f5992a6e260c944920d0b</id>
<content type='text'>
if we receive a compound such that:

	- the sessionid, slot, and sequence number in the SEQUENCE op
	  match a cached succesful reply with N ops, and
	- the Nth operation of the compound is a PUTFH, PUTPUBFH,
	  PUTROOTFH, or RESTOREFH,

then nfsd4_sequence will return 0 and set cstate-&gt;status to
nfserr_replay_cache.  The current filehandle will not be set.  This will
cause us to call check_nfsd_access with first argument NULL.

To nfsd4_compound it looks like we just succesfully executed an
operation that set a filehandle, but the current filehandle is not set.

Fix this by moving the nfserr_replay_cache earlier.  There was never any
reason to have it after the encode_op label, since the only case where
he hit that is when opdesc-&gt;op_func sets it.

Note that there are two ways we could hit this case:

	- a client is resending a previously sent compound that ended
	  with one of the four PUTFH-like operations, or
	- a client is sending a *new* compound that (incorrectly) shares
	  sessionid, slot, and sequence number with a previously sent
	  compound, and the length of the previously sent compound
	  happens to match the position of a PUTFH-like operation in the
	  new compound.

The second is obviously incorrect client behavior.  The first is also
very strange--the only purpose of a PUTFH-like operation is to set the
current filehandle to be used by the following operation, so there's no
point in having it as the last in a compound.

So it's likely this requires a buggy or malicious client to reproduce.

This reverts commit 51f567777799 "nfsd: check for oversized NFSv2/v3
arguments", which breaks support for NFSv3 ACLs.

That patch was actually an earlier draft of a fix for the problem that
was eventually fixed by e6838a29ecb "nfsd: check for oversized NFSv2/v3
arguments".  But somehow I accidentally left this earlier draft in the
branch that was part of my 2.12 pull request.

In error cases, lgp-&gt;lg_layout_type may be out of bounds; so we
shouldn't be using it until after the check of nfserr.

This was seen to crash nfsd threads when the server receives a LAYOUTGET
request with a large layout type.

GETDEVICEINFO has the same problem.

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c:1262:34
  shift exponent 128 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'

Depending on compiler+architecture, this may cause the check for
layout_type to succeed for overly large values (which seems to be the
case with amd64). The large value will be later used in de-referencing
nfsd4_layout_ops for function pointers.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
   was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
   fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
   to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
   From Paolo.

 - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
   using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
   live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.

 - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
   devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
   times, solving various problems with hot removal.

 - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
   'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
   device.

 - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.

 - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
   legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
   queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
   more than a decade.

 - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
   windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
   register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.

 - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
   framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
   blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
   marked experimental for now.

 - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
   efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
   IO.

 - A few fixes for opal, from Scott.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
   was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
   fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
   to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
   From Paolo.

 - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
   using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
   live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.

 - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
   devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
   times, solving various problems with hot removal.

 - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
   'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
   device.

 - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.

 - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
   legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
   queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
   more than a decade.

 - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
   windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
   register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.

 - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
   framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
   blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
   marked experimental for now.

 - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
   efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
   IO.

 - A few fixes for opal, from Scott.

 - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
   From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.

<title>fs: constify tree_descr arrays passed to simple_fill_super()</title>

simple_fill_super() is passed an array of tree_descr structures which
describe the files to create in the filesystem's root directory.  Since
these arrays are never modified intentionally, they should be 'const' so
that they are placed in .rodata and benefit from memory protection.
This patch updates the function signature and all users, and also
constifies tree_descr.name.
