David Howells 372ee16386 rxrpc: Fix races between skb free, ACK generation and replying
Inside the kafs filesystem it is possible to occasionally have a call
processed and terminated before we've had a chance to check whether we need
to clean up the rx queue for that call because afs_send_simple_reply() ends
the call when it is done, but this is done in a workqueue item that might
happen to run to completion before afs_deliver_to_call() completes.

Further, it is possible for rxrpc_kernel_send_data() to be called to send a
reply before the last request-phase data skb is released.  The rxrpc skb
destructor is where the ACK processing is done and the call state is
advanced upon release of the last skb.  ACK generation is also deferred to
a work item because it's possible that the skb destructor is not called in
a context where kernel_sendmsg() can be invoked.

To this end, the following changes are made:

 (1) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is added.  This should be called whenever
     an skb is emptied so as to crank the ACK and call states.  This does
     not release the skb, however.  kernel_rxrpc_free_skb() must now be
     called to achieve that.  These together replace
     rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered().

 (2) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is wrapped by afs_data_consumed().

     This makes afs_deliver_to_call() easier to work as the skb can simply
     be discarded unconditionally here without trying to work out what the
     return value of the ->deliver() function means.

     The ->deliver() functions can, via afs_data_complete(),
     afs_transfer_reply() and afs_extract_data() mark that an skb has been
     consumed (thereby cranking the state) without the need to
     conditionally free the skb to make sure the state is correct on an
     incoming call for when the call processor tries to send the reply.

 (3) rxrpc_recvmsg() now has to call kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() when it
     has finished with a packet and MSG_PEEK isn't set.

 (4) rxrpc_packet_destructor() no longer calls rxrpc_hard_ACK_data().

     Because of this, we no longer need to clear the destructor and put the
     call before we free the skb in cases where we don't want the ACK/call
     state to be cranked.

 (5) The ->deliver() call-type callbacks are made to return -EAGAIN rather
     than 0 if they expect more data (afs_extract_data() returns -EAGAIN to
     the delivery function already), and the caller is now responsible for
     producing an abort if that was the last packet.

 (6) There are many bits of unmarshalling code where:

 		ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...);
		switch (ret) {
		case 0:		break;
		case -EAGAIN:	return 0;
		default:	return ret;
		}

     is to be found.  As -EAGAIN can now be passed back to the caller, we
     now just return if ret < 0:

 		ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...);
		if (ret < 0)
			return ret;

 (7) Checks for trailing data and empty final data packets has been
     consolidated as afs_data_complete().  So:

		if (skb->len > 0)
			return -EBADMSG;
		if (!last)
			return 0;

     becomes:

		ret = afs_data_complete(call, skb, last);
		if (ret < 0)
			return ret;

 (8) afs_transfer_reply() now checks the amount of data it has against the
     amount of data desired and the amount of data in the skb and returns
     an error to induce an abort if we don't get exactly what we want.

Without these changes, the following oops can occasionally be observed,
particularly if some printks are inserted into the delivery path:

David Howells 0e119b41b7 rxrpc: Limit the listening backlog
Limit the socket incoming call backlog queue size so that a remote client
can't pump in sufficient new calls that the server runs out of memory.  Note
that this is partially theoretical at the moment since whilst the number of
calls is limited, the number of packets trying to set up new calls is not.
This will be addressed in a later patch.

If the caller of listen() specifies a backlog INT_MAX, then they get the
current maximum; anything else greater than max_backlog or anything
negative incurs EINVAL.

The limit on the maximum queue size can be set by:

	echo N >/proc/sys/net/rxrpc/max_backlog

where 4<=N<=32.

Further, set the default backlog to 0, requiring listen() to be called
before we start actually queueing new calls.  Whilst this kind of is a
change in the UAPI, the caller can't actually *accept* new calls anyway
unless they've first called listen() to put the socket into the LISTENING
state - thus the aforementioned new calls would otherwise just sit there,
eating up kernel memory.  (Note that sockets that don't have a non-zero
service ID bound don't get incoming calls anyway.)

Given that the default backlog is now 0, make the AFS filesystem call
kernel_listen() to set the maximum backlog for itself.

Possible improvements include:

 (1) Trimming a too-large backlog to max_backlog when listen is called.

 (2) Trimming the backlog value whenever the value is used so that changes
     to max_backlog are applied to an open socket automatically.  Note that
     the AFS filesystem opens one socket and keeps it open for extended
     periods, so would miss out on changes to max_backlog.

 (3) Having a separate setting for the AFS filesystem.

David Howells dc44b3a09a rxrpc: Differentiate local and remote abort codes in structs
In the rxrpc_connection and rxrpc_call structs, there's one field to hold
the abort code, no matter whether that value was generated locally to be
sent or was received from the peer via an abort packet.

Split the abort code fields in two for cleanliness sake and add an error
field to hold the Linux error number to the rxrpc_call struct too
(sometimes this is generated in a context where we can't return it to
userspace directly).

Furthermore, add a skb mark to indicate a packet that caused a local abort
to be generated so that recvmsg() can pick up the correct abort code.  A
future addition will need to be to indicate to userspace the difference
between aborts via a control message.

David Howells 2f02f7aea7 afs: Wait for outstanding async calls before closing rxrpc socket
The afs filesystem needs to wait for any outstanding asynchronous calls

Nathaniel Wesley Filardo 150a6b4789 AFS: Fix kafs module unloading
At present, it is not possible to successfully unload the kafs module if there
are outstanding async outgoing calls (those made with afs_make_call()).  This
appears to be due to the changes introduced by:

	commit 059499453a
	Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
	Date:   Fri Mar 7 10:24:50 2014 -0500
	Subject: afs: don't use PREPARE_WORK

which didn't go far enough.  The problem is due to:

 (1) The aforementioned commit introduced a separate handler function pointer
     in the call, call->async_workfn, in addition to the original workqueue
     item, call->async_work, for asynchronous operations because workqueues
     subsystem cannot handle the workqueue item pointer being changed whilst
     the item is queued or being processed.

 (2) afs_async_workfn() was introduced in that commit to be the callback for
     call->async_work.  Its sole purpose is to run whatever call->async_workfn
     points to.

 (3) call->async_workfn is only used from afs_async_workfn(), which is only
     set on async_work by afs_collect_incoming_call() - ie. for incoming
     calls.

 (4) call->async_workfn is *not* set by afs_make_call() when outgoing calls are
     made, and call->async_work is set afs_process_async_call() - and not
     afs_async_workfn().

 (5) afs_process_async_call() now changes call->async_workfn rather than
     call->async_work to point to afs_delete_async_call() to clean up, but this
     is only effective for incoming calls because call->async_work does not
     point to afs_async_workfn() for outgoing calls.

 (6) Because, for incoming calls, call->async_work remains pointing to
     afs_process_async_call() this results in an infinite loop.

Instead, make the workqueue uniformly vector through call->async_workfn, via
afs_async_workfn() and simply initialise call->async_workfn to point to
afs_process_async_call() in afs_make_call().

Tejun Heo 059499453a afs: don't use PREPARE_WORK
PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() are being phased out.  They have few users
and a nasty surprise in terms of reentrancy guarantee as workqueue
considers work items to be different if they don't have the same work
function.

afs_call->async_work is multiplexed with multiple work functions.
Introduce afs_async_workfn() which invokes afs_call->async_workfn and
always use it as the work function and update the users to set the
->async_workfn field instead of overriding the work function using
PREPARE_WORK().

It would probably be best to route this with other related updates
through the workqueue tree.

Compile tested.

Anton Blanchard c017386352 afs: Remote abort can cause BUG in rxrpc code
When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG:

kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179!

With a backtrace of:

	afs_free_call
	afs_make_call
	afs_fs_store_data
	afs_vnode_store_data
	afs_write_back_from_locked_page
	afs_writepages_region
	afs_writepages

The cause is:

	ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue));

Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we
are exceeding our disk quota:

	rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32)

So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't
freed all the resources for the call.

By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call
we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

David Howells bd6dc742a4 AFS: Use patched rxrpc_kernel_send_data() correctly
Fix afs_send_simple_reply() to accept a greater-than-zero return value from
rxrpc_kernel_send_data() as being a successful return rather than thinking it
an error and aborting the call.

rxrpc_kernel_send_data() previously returned zero incorrectly when it worked
successfully, but has been patched to return the number of bytes it
transmitted.

David Howells 5bbf5d39f8 AFS: further write support fixes
Further fixes for AFS write support:

 (1) The afs_send_pages() outer loop must do an extra iteration if it ends
     with 'first == last' because 'last' is inclusive in the page set
     otherwise it fails to send the last page and complete the RxRPC op under
     some circumstances.

 (2) Similarly, the outer loop in afs_pages_written_back() must also do an
     extra iteration if it ends with 'first == last', otherwise it fails to
     clear PG_writeback on the last page under some circumstances.

David Howells 31143d5d51 AFS: implement basic file write support
Implement support for writing to regular AFS files, including:

 (1) write

 (2) truncate

 (3) fsync, fdatasync

 (4) chmod, chown, chgrp, utime.

AFS writeback attempts to batch writes into as chunks as large as it can manage
up to the point that it writes back 65535 pages in one chunk or it meets a
locked page.

Furthermore, if a page has been written to using a particular key, then should
another write to that page use some other key, the first write will be flushed
before the second is allowed to take place.  If the first write fails due to a
security error, then the page will be scrapped and reread before the second
write takes place.

If a page is dirty and the callback on it is broken by the server, then the
dirty data is not discarded (same behaviour as NFS).

Shared-writable mappings are not supported by this patch.

David Howells b908fe6b2d [AFS]: Add support for the CB.GetCapabilities operation.
Add support for the CB.GetCapabilities operation with which the fileserver can
ask the client for the following information:

 (1) The list of network interfaces it has available as IPv4 address + netmask
     plus the MTUs.

 (2) The client's UUID.

 (3) The extended capabilities of the client, for which the only current one
     is unified error mapping (abort code interpretation).

To support this, the patch adds the following routines to AFS:

 (1) A function to iterate through all the network interfaces using RTNETLINK
     to extract IPv4 addresses and MTUs.

 (2) A function to iterate through all the network interfaces using RTNETLINK
     to pull out the MAC address of the lowest index interface to use in UUID
     construction.

David Howells 00d3b7a453 [AFS]: Add security support.
Add security support to the AFS filesystem.  Kerberos IV tickets are added as
RxRPC keys are added to the session keyring with the klog program.  open() and
other VFS operations then find this ticket with request_key() and either use
it immediately (eg: mkdir, unlink) or attach it to a file descriptor (open).
