<id>292a089d78d3e2f7944e60bb897c977785a321e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    )
      ... when strict
          when != ptr-&gt;timer
    (
            kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield);
    |
            kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr);
    |
            kfree(ptr);
    )

    $ spatch timer.cocci . &gt; /tmp/t.patch
    $ patch -p1 &lt; /tmp/t.patch

<content type='text'>
Since moving to memalloc_nofs_save/restore, SUNRPC has stopped setting the
GFP_NOIO flag on sk_allocation which the networking system uses to decide
when it is safe to use current-&gt;task_frag.  The results of this are
unexpected corruption in task_frag when SUNRPC is involved in memory
reclaim.

The corruption can be seen in crashes, but the root cause is often
difficult to ascertain as a crashing machine's stack trace will have no
evidence of being near NFS or SUNRPC code.  I believe this problem to
be much more pervasive than reports to the community may indicate.

Fix this by having kernel users of sockets that may corrupt task_frag due
to reclaim set sk_use_task_frag = false.  Preemptively correcting this
situation for users that still set sk_allocation allows them to convert to
memalloc_nofs_save/restore without the same unexpected corruptions that are
sure to follow, unlikely to show up in testing, and difficult to bisect.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

  firmware_loader: fix up to_fw_sysfs() to preserve const
  usb.h: take advantage of container_of_const()

  container_of: add container_of_const() that preserves const-ness of the pointer
  driver core: fix up missed drivers/s390/char/hmcdrv_dev.c class.devnode() conversion.
  driver core: fix up missed scsi/cxlflash class.devnode() conversion.

  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "This release introduces support for the CB_RECALL_ANY operation. NFSD
  can send this operation to request that clients return any delegations
  they choose. The server uses this operation to handle low memory
  scenarios or indicate to a client when that client has reached the
  maximum number of delegations the server supports.

  The NFSv4.2 READ_PLUS operation has been simplified temporarily whilst
  support for sparse files in local filesystems and the VFS is improved.

  Two major data structure fixes appear in this release:

   - The nfs4_file hash table is replaced with a resizable hash table to
     reduce the latency of NFSv4 OPEN operations.

   - Reference counting in the NFSD filecache has been hardened against
     races.

  In furtherance of removing support for NFSv2 in a subsequent kernel
  release, a new Kconfig option enables server-side support for NFSv2 to
  be left out of a kernel build.

  MAINTAINERS has been updated to indicate that changes to fs/exportfs
  should go through the NFSD tree"

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
   there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
   sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
   interval:

       get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
       get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
       get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]

   Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
   prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
   improvements throughout the tree.

   I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
   prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
   use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
   there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
   that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
   conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
   second week.

   This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.

 - More consistent use of get_random_canary().

 - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
   simplification in configuration.

 - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
   wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
   in all relevant contexts.

 - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
   variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
   initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
   prevent accidental leakage.

   These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
   EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
   EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
   functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.

 - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
   an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
   replacing an sleep loop wart.

 - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
   input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
   going through helpers better suited for other cases.

 - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
   handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
   used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.

   But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
   in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
   gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
   to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
   without the absent latent entropy variable.

 - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
   when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
   CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
   do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
   more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
   transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
   vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).

 - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
   CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
   and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
   when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
   main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
   firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
   line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
   cause latencies.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for timers, timekeeping and drivers:

  Core:

   - The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:

     Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
     dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
     example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and
     the work arms the timer.

     What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
     destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown timer.
     Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
     functional.

     The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync()
     should be:
	- timer is not enqueued
    	- timer callback is not running
    	- timer cannot be rearmed

     Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding
     rearm attempts silently.

     A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a shutdown timer is
     detected would not be really helpful because it's entirely unclear
     how it should be acted upon. The only way to address such a case is
     to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the place. This is
     error prone and in most cases of teardown not required all.

   - The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
     timer_shutdown_sync().

     A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
     progress.

   - Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions

   - Small fixes for timer and timerqueue

  Drivers:

   - Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
     an never ending interrupt storm.

   - The usual set of new device tree bindings

   - Small fixes and improvements all over the place"

If a zero length is passed to kmalloc() it returns 0x10, which is
not a valid address. gss_verify_mic() subsequently crashes when it
attempts to dereference that pointer.

Instead of allocating this memory on every call based on an
untrusted size value, use a piece of dynamically-allocated scratch
memory that is always available.
