No work has been scheduled, and yet data are waiting.
Currently p9_read_work() checks if there is data to read,
and if not, it clears Rworksched.
I think it should clear Rworksched first, and then check if there is data to read.

While working on a modified server I had the Linux clients crash
a few times. This lead me to find this:
Some error codes are directly extracted from the server replies.
A malformed server reply could contain an invalid error code, with a
very large value. If this value is then passed to ERR_PTR() it will
not be properly detected as an error code by IS_ERR() and as a result
the kernel will dereference an invalid pointer.
This patch tries to avoid this.

multiple client instances are created (e.g., two clusters mounted, or

server subdirectory, and the last one fixes a divide by zero error
from unsanitized ioctl input that Dan Carpenter found."

ceph: avoid divide by zero in __validate_layout()
libceph: avoid truncation due to racing banners
ceph: tolerate (and warn on) extraneous dentry from mds
libceph: delay debugfs initialization until we learn global_id
Because the Ceph client messenger uses a non-blocking connect, it is
possible for the sending of the client banner to race with the
arrival of the banner sent by the peer.
When ceph_sock_state_change() notices the connect has completed, it
schedules work to process the socket via con_work(). During this
time the peer is writing its banner, and arrival of the peer banner
races with con_work().
If con_work() calls try_read() before the peer banner arrives, there
is nothing for it to do, after which con_work() calls try_write() to
send the client's banner. In this case Ceph's protocol negotiation
can complete succesfully.
The server-side messenger immediately sends its banner and addresses
after accepting a connect request, *before* actually attempting to
read or verify the banner from the client. As a result, it is
possible for the banner from the server to arrive before con_work()
calls try_read(). If that happens, try_read() will read the banner
and prepare protocol negotiation info via prepare_write_connect().
prepare_write_connect() calls con_out_kvec_reset(), which discards
the as-yet-unsent client banner. Next, con_work() calls
try_write(), which sends the protocol negotiation info rather than
the banner that the peer is expecting.
The result is that the peer sees an invalid banner, and the client
reports "negotiation failed".
Fix this by moving con_out_kvec_reset() out of
prepare_write_connect() to its callers at all locations except the
one where the banner might still need to be sent.

Pablo Neira Ayuso discovered that avahi and
potentially NetworkManager accept spoofed Netlink messages because of a
kernel bug. The kernel passes all-zero SCM_CREDENTIALS ancillary data
to the receiver if the sender did not provide such data, instead of not
including any such data at all or including the correct data from the
peer (as it is the case with AF_UNIX).
This bug was introduced in commit 16e5726269
(af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default)
This patch forces passing credentials for netlink, as
before the regression.
Another fix would be to not add SCM_CREDENTIALS in
netlink messages if not provided by the sender, but it
might break some programs.

However, after creating the child-sock in tcp/dccp_v4_syn_recv_sock(),
ireq->opt is set to NULL, before calling inet_csk_route_child_sock().
Thus, inside inet_csk_route_child_sock() opt is always NULL and the
SRR-options are not respected anymore.
Packets sent by the server won't have the correct destination-IP.

The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply
before it receives a request.
It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total
size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket.
Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it
checks whether there is space available. If it finds that there is not
space, it then subtracts the estimate back out.
This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is
space after all.
The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing
server threads to loop without doing any actual work.

svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply.
However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately. Meanwhile other
threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut
down. This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated
read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look
to the client like further read data.
Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging
something like

Examination of svc_tcp_clear_pages shows that it assumes sk_tcplen is
consistent with sk_pages[] (in particular, sk_pages[n] can't be NULL if
sk_tcplen would lead us to expect n pages of data).
svc_tcp_restore_pages zeroes out sk_pages[] while leaving sk_tcplen.
This is OK, since both functions are serialized by XPT_BUSY. However,
that means the inconsistency must be repaired before dropping XPT_BUSY.
Therefore we should be ensuring that svc_tcp_save_pages repairs the
problem before exiting svc_tcp_recv_record on error.

If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets,
it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets
of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which
generate packets when receiving one.
This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group
must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be
transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging
to the same fanout group.
This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to
take fanout group info account.

We drop packet unconditionally when we fail to mirror it. This is not intended
in some cases. Consdier for kvm guest, we may mirror the traffic of the bridge
to a tap device used by a VM. When kernel fails to mirror the packet in
conditions such as when qemu crashes or stop polling the tap, it's hard for the
management software to detect such condition and clean the the mirroring
before. This would lead all packets to the bridge to be dropped and break the
netowrk of other virtual machines.
To solve the issue, the patch does not drop packets when kernel fails to mirror
it, and only drop the redirected packets.

In __nf_ct_expect_check, the function refresh_timer returns 1
if a matching expectation is found and its timer is successfully
refreshed. This results in nf_ct_expect_related returning 0.
Note that at this point:
- the passed expectation is not inserted in the expectation table
and its timer was not initialized, since we have refreshed one
matching/existing expectation.
- nf_ct_expect_alloc uses kmem_cache_alloc, so the expectation
timer is in some undefined state just after the allocation,
until it is appropriately initialized.
This can be a problem for the SIP helper during the expectation
addition:
...
if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) == 0) {
if (nf_ct_expect_related(rtcp_exp) != 0)
nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp);
...
Note that nf_ct_expect_related(rtp_exp) may return 0 for the timer refresh
case that is detailed above. Then, if nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtcp_exp)
returns != 0, nf_ct_unexpect_related(rtp_exp) is called, which does:
spin_lock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock);
if (del_timer(&exp->timeout)) {
nf_ct_unlink_expect(exp);
nf_ct_expect_put(exp);
}
spin_unlock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock);
Note that del_timer always returns false if the timer has been
initialized. However, the timer was not initialized since setup_timer
was not called, therefore, the expectation timer remains in some
undefined state. If I'm not missing anything, this may lead to the
removal an unexistent expectation.
To fix this, the optimization that allows refreshing an expectation
is removed. Now nf_conntrack_expect_related looks more consistent
to me since it always add the expectation in case that it returns
success.
Thanks to Patrick McHardy for participating in the discussion of
this patch.
I think this may be the source of the problem described by:

Without this patch, I can't get netconsole logs remotely over
vlan. The reason is probably we don't handle vlan tags in either
netpoll tx or rx path.
I am not sure if I use these vlan functions correctly, at
least this patch works.
