nfsd_info.mutex can be dereferenced by svc_pool_stats_start()
immediately after the new netns is created.  Currently this can
trigger an oops.

Move the initialisation earlier before it can possibly be dereferenced.

Fixes: 7b207ccd9833 ("svc: don't hold reference for poolstats, only mutex.")

<title>tracing/treewide: Remove second parameter of __assign_str()</title>
<updated>2024-05-23T00:14:47+00:00</updated>

<id>2c92ca849fcc6ee7d0c358e9959abc9f58661aea</id>
<content type='text'>
With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.

This means that with:

  __string(field, mystring)

Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.

There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:

  git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
      sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a &gt; /tmp/test-file;
      mv /tmp/test-file $a;
  done

I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.

Note, the same updates will need to be done for:

  __assign_str_len()
  __assign_rel_str()
  __assign_rel_str_len()

I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

<title>NFSD: Force all NFSv4.2 COPY requests to be synchronous</title>
<updated>2024-05-09T13:10:48+00:00</updated>

<id>8d915bbf39266bb66082c1e4980e123883f19830</id>
<content type='text'>
We've discovered that delivering a CB_OFFLOAD operation can be
unreliable in some pretty unremarkable situations. Examples
include:

 - The server dropped the connection because it lost a forechannel
   NFSv4 request and wishes to force the client to retransmit
 - The GSS sequence number window under-flowed
 - A network partition occurred

When that happens, all pending callback operations, including
CB_OFFLOAD, are lost. NFSD does not retransmit them.

Moreover, the Linux NFS client does not yet support sending an
OFFLOAD_STATUS operation to probe whether an asynchronous COPY
operation has finished. Thus, on Linux NFS clients, when a
CB_OFFLOAD is lost, asynchronous COPY can hang until manually
interrupted.

I've tried a couple of remedies, but so far the side-effects are
worse than the disease and they have had to be reverted. So
temporarily force COPY operations to be synchronous so that the use
of CB_OFFLOAD is avoided entirely. This is a fix that can easily be
backported to LTS kernels. I am working on client patches that
introduce an implementation of OFFLOAD_STATUS.

Note that NFSD arbitrarily limits the size of a copy_file_range
to 4MB to avoid indefinitely blocking an nfsd thread. A short
COPY result is returned in that case, and the client can present
a fresh COPY request for the remainder.

We've discovered that delivering a CB_OFFLOAD operation can be
unreliable in some pretty unremarkable situations. Examples
include:

 - The server dropped the connection because it lost a forechannel
   NFSv4 request and wishes to force the client to retransmit
 - The GSS sequence number window under-flowed
 - A network partition occurred

When that happens, all pending callback operations, including
CB_OFFLOAD, are lost. NFSD does not retransmit them.

Moreover, the Linux NFS client does not yet support sending an
OFFLOAD_STATUS operation to probe whether an asynchronous COPY
operation has finished. Thus, on Linux NFS clients, when a
CB_OFFLOAD is lost, asynchronous COPY can hang until manually
interrupted.

The 'NFS error' NFSERR_OPNOTSUPP is not described by any of the official
NFS related RFCs, but appears to have snuck into some older .x files for
NFSv2.
Either way, it is not in RFC1094, RFC1813 or any of the NFSv4 RFCs, so
should not be returned by the knfsd server, and particularly not by the
"LOOKUP" operation.

Instead, let's return NFSERR_STALE, which is more appropriate if the
filesystem encodes the filehandle as FILEID_INVALID.

<title>nfsd: set security label during create operations</title>

When security labeling is enabled, the client can pass a file security
label as part of a create operation for the new file, similar to mode
and other attributes. At present, the security label is received by nfsd
and passed down to nfsd_create_setattr(), but nfsd_setattr() is never
called and therefore the label is never set on the new file. This bug
may have been introduced on or around commit d6a97d3f589a ("NFSD:
add security label to struct nfsd_attrs"). Looking at nfsd_setattr()
I am uncertain as to whether the same issue presents for
file ACLs and therefore requires a similar fix for those.

An alternative approach would be to introduce a new LSM hook to set the
"create SID" of the current task prior to the actual file creation, which
would atomically label the new inode at creation time. This would be better
for SELinux and a similar approach has been used previously
(see security_dentry_create_files_as) but perhaps not usable by other LSMs.

Reproducer:
1. Install a Linux distro with SELinux - Fedora is easiest
2. git clone https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-testsuite
3. Install the requisite dependencies per selinux-testsuite/README.md
4. Run something like the following script:
MOUNT=$HOME/selinux-testsuite
sudo systemctl start nfs-server
sudo exportfs -o rw,no_root_squash,security_label localhost:$MOUNT
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/selinux-testsuite
sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4.2 localhost:$MOUNT /mnt/selinux-testsuite
pushd /mnt/selinux-testsuite/
sudo make -C policy load
pushd tests/filesystem
sudo runcon -t test_filesystem_t ./create_file -f trans_test_file \
	-e test_filesystem_filetranscon_t -v
sudo rm -f trans_test_file
popd
sudo make -C policy unload
popd
sudo umount /mnt/selinux-testsuite
sudo exportfs -u localhost:$MOUNT
sudo rmdir /mnt/selinux-testsuite
sudo systemctl stop nfs-server

Expected output:
&lt;eliding noise from commands run prior to or after the test itself&gt;
Process context:
	unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_filesystem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
Created file: trans_test_file
File context: unconfined_u:object_r:test_filesystem_filetranscon_t:s0
File context is correct

Actual output:
&lt;eliding noise from commands run prior to or after the test itself&gt;
Process context:
	unconfined_u:unconfined_r:test_filesystem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
Created file: trans_test_file
File context: system_u:object_r:test_file_t:s0
File context error, expected:
	test_filesystem_filetranscon_t
got:
	test_file_t
