There was a silly bug in the initial implementation where a loop
variable was not incremented. This commit increments the loop variable.

This bug is somewhat tricky to catch because it can only happen on loops
of two or more. If it is hit, it locks up a kernel thread in an infinite
loop.

tianshuo han reported a remotely-triggerable crash if the client sends a
kernel RPC server a specially crafted packet. If decoding the RPC reply
fails in such a way that SVC_GARBAGE is returned without setting the
rq_accept_statp pointer, then that pointer can be dereferenced and a
value stored there.

If it's the first time the thread has processed an RPC, then that
pointer will be set to NULL and the kernel will crash. In other cases,
it could create a memory scribble.

The server sunrpc code treats a SVC_GARBAGE return from svc_authenticate
or pg_authenticate as if it should send a GARBAGE_ARGS reply. RFC 5531
says that if authentication fails that the RPC should be rejected
instead with a status of AUTH_ERR.

Handle a SVC_GARBAGE return as an AUTH_ERROR, with a reason of
AUTH_BADCRED instead of returning GARBAGE_ARGS in that case. This
sidesteps the whole problem of touching the rpc_accept_statp pointer in
this situation and avoids the crash.

While investigating some reports of memory-constrained NUMA machines
failing to mount v3 and v4.0 nfs mounts, we found that svc_init_buffer()
was not attempting to retry allocations from the bulk page allocator.
Typically, this results in a single page allocation being returned and
the mount attempt fails with -ENOMEM.  A retry would have allowed the mount
to succeed.

Additionally, it seems that the bulk allocation in svc_init_buffer() is
redundant because svc_alloc_arg() will perform the required allocation and
does the correct thing to retry the allocations.

The call to allocate memory in svc_alloc_arg() drops the preferred node
argument, but I expect we'll still allocate on the preferred node because
the allocation call happens within the svc thread context, which chooses
the node with memory closest to the current thread's execution.

This patch cleans out the bulk allocation in svc_init_buffer() to allow
svc_alloc_arg() to handle the allocation/retry logic for rq_pages.

Engineers at Hammerspace noticed that sometimes mounting with
"xprtsec=tls" hangs for a minute or so, and then times out, even
when the NFS server is reachable and responsive.

kTLS shuts off data_ready callbacks if strp-&gt;msg_ready is set to
mitigate data_ready callbacks when a full TLS record is not yet
ready to be read from the socket.

Normally msg_ready is clear when the first TLS record arrives on
a socket. However, I observed that sometimes tls_setsockopt() sets
strp-&gt;msg_ready, and that prevents forward progress because
tls_data_ready() becomes a no-op.

Moreover, Jakub says: "If there's a full record queued at the time
when [tlshd] passes the socket back to the kernel, it's up to the
reader to read the already queued data out." So SunRPC cannot
expect a data_ready call when ingress data is already waiting.

Add an explicit poll after SunRPC's upper transport is set up to
pick up any data that arrived after the TLS handshake but before
transport set-up is complete.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "The marquee feature for this release is that the limit on the maximum
  rsize and wsize has been raised to 4MB. The default remains at 1MB,
  but risk-seeking administrators now have the ability to try larger I/O
  sizes with NFS clients that support them. Eventually the default
  setting will be increased when we have confidence that this change
  will not have negative impact.

  With v6.16, NFSD now has its own debugfs file system where we can add
  experimental features and make them available outside of our
  development community without impacting production deployments. The
  first experimental setting added is one that makes all NFS READ
  operations use vfs_iter_read() instead of the NFSD splice actor. The
  plan is to eventually retire the splice actor, as that will enable a
  number of new capabilities such as the use of struct bio_vec from the
  top to the bottom of the NFSD stack.

  Jeff Layton contributed a number of observability improvements. The
  use of dprintk() in a number of high-traffic code paths has been
  replaced with static trace points.

  This release sees the continuation of efforts to harden the NFSv4.2
  COPY operation. Soon, the restriction on async COPY operations can be
  lifted.

  Many thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters
  who participated during the v6.16 development cycle"

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "The marquee feature for this release is that the limit on the maximum
  rsize and wsize has been raised to 4MB. The default remains at 1MB,
  but risk-seeking administrators now have the ability to try larger I/O
  sizes with NFS clients that support them. Eventually the default
  setting will be increased when we have confidence that this change
  will not have negative impact.

  With v6.16, NFSD now has its own debugfs file system where we can add
  experimental features and make them available outside of our
  development community without impacting production deployments. The
  first experimental setting added is one that makes all NFS READ
  operations use vfs_iter_read() instead of the NFSD splice actor. The
  plan is to eventually retire the splice actor, as that will enable a

Pull vfs directory lookup updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.

  We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"
  and others without the "_len". This difference has nothing to do with
  "len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.

  The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
  in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
  which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
  filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
  here?".

  nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
  functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
  which have any other idmap.

  This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
  functions and to explictily pass &amp;nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
  with all other vfs interfaces used where &amp;nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
  passed.

  The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
  checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
  checking is removed.

  This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
  of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"
