commit dbc0d3caff5b7591e0cf8e34ca686ca6f4479ee1 upstream.

ceph_msg_footer is 21 bytes long, while ceph_msg_footer_old is only 13.
Don't skip too much when CEPH_FEATURE_MSG_AUTH isn't negotiated.

commit e7a88e82fe380459b864e05b372638aeacb0f52d upstream.

The contract between try_read() and try_write() is that when called
each processes as much data as possible.  When instructed by osd_client
to skip a message, try_read() is violating this contract by returning
after receiving and discarding a single message instead of checking for
more.  try_write() then gets a chance to write out more requests,
generating more replies/skips for try_read() to handle, forcing the
messenger into a starvation loop.

<title>libceph: fix ceph_msg_revoke()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ee834473805f5fd77a3d2625a40552159641029e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 67645d7619738e51c668ca69f097cb90b5470422 upstream.

There are a number of problems with revoking a "was sending" message:

(1) We never make any attempt to revoke data - only kvecs contibute to
con-&gt;out_skip.  However, once the header (envelope) is written to the
socket, our peer learns data_len and sets itself to expect at least
data_len bytes to follow front or front+middle.  If ceph_msg_revoke()
is called while the messenger is sending message's data portion,
anything we send after that call is counted by the OSD towards the now
revoked message's data portion.  The effects vary, the most common one
is the eventual hang - higher layers get stuck waiting for the reply to
the message that was sent out after ceph_msg_revoke() returned and
treated by the OSD as a bunch of data bytes.  This is what Matt ran
into.

(2) Flat out zeroing con-&gt;out_kvec_bytes worth of bytes to handle kvecs
is wrong.  If ceph_msg_revoke() is called before the tag is sent out or
while the messenger is sending the header, we will get a connection
reset, either due to a bad tag (0 is not a valid tag) or a bad header
CRC, which kind of defeats the purpose of revoke.  Currently the kernel
client refuses to work with header CRCs disabled, but that will likely
change in the future, making this even worse.

(3) con-&gt;out_skip is not reset on connection reset, leading to one or
more spurious connection resets if we happen to get a real one between
con-&gt;out_skip is set in ceph_msg_revoke() and before it's cleared in
write_partial_skip().

Fixing (1) and (3) is trivial.  The idea behind fixing (2) is to never
zero the tag or the header, i.e. send out tag+header regardless of when
ceph_msg_revoke() is called.  That way the header is always correct, no
unnecessary resets are induced and revoke stands ready for disabled
CRCs.  Since ceph_msg_revoke() rips out con-&gt;out_msg, introduce a new
"message out temp" and copy the header into it before sending.

<title>libceph: clear msg-&gt;con in ceph_msg_release() only</title>

<id>urn:sha1:583d0fef756a7615e50f0f68ea0892a497d03971</id>
<content type='text'>
The following bit in ceph_msg_revoke_incoming() is unsafe:

    struct ceph_connection *con = msg-&gt;con;
    if (!con)
            return;
    mutex_lock(&amp;con-&gt;mutex);
    &lt;more msg-&gt;con use&gt;

There is nothing preventing con from getting destroyed right after
msg-&gt;con test.  One easy way to reproduce this is to disable message
signing only on the server side and try to map an image.  The system
will go into a

    libceph: read_partial_message ffff880073f0ab68 signature check failed
    libceph: osd0 192.168.255.155:6801 bad crc/signature
    libceph: read_partial_message ffff880073f0ab68 signature check failed
    libceph: osd0 192.168.255.155:6801 bad crc/signature

loop which has to be interrupted with Ctrl-C.  Hit Ctrl-C and you are
likely to end up with a random GP fault if the reset handler executes
"within" ceph_msg_revoke_incoming():

                     &lt;yet another reply w/o a signature&gt;
                                   ...
          &lt;Ctrl-C&gt;
    rbd_obj_request_end
      ceph_osdc_cancel_request
        __unregister_request
          ceph_osdc_put_request
            ceph_msg_revoke_incoming
                                   ...
                                osd_reset
                                  __kick_osd_requests
                                    __reset_osd
                                      remove_osd
                                        ceph_con_close
                                          reset_connection
                                            &lt;clear con-&gt;in_msg-&gt;con&gt;
                                            &lt;put con ref&gt;
                                              put_osd
                                                &lt;free osd/con&gt;
              &lt;msg-&gt;con use&gt; &lt;-- !!!

If ceph_msg_revoke_incoming() executes "before" the reset handler,
osd/con will be leaked because ceph_msg_revoke_incoming() clears
con-&gt;in_msg but doesn't put con ref, while reset_connection() only puts
con ref if con-&gt;in_msg != NULL.

The current msg-&gt;con scheme was introduced by commits 38941f8031bf
("libceph: have messages point to their connection") and 92ce034b5a74
("libceph: have messages take a connection reference"), which defined
when messages get associated with a connection and when that
association goes away.  Part of the problem is that this association is
supposed to go away in much too many places; closing this race entirely
requires either a rework of the existing or an addition of a new layer
of synchronization.

In lieu of that, we can make it *much* less likely to hit by
disassociating messages only on their destruction and resend through
a different connection.  This makes the code simpler and is probably
a good thing to do regardless - this patch adds a msg_con_set() helper
which is is called from only three places: ceph_con_send() and
ceph_con_in_msg_alloc() to set msg-&gt;con and ceph_msg_release() to clear
it.

Support for message signing was merged into 3.19, along with
nocephx_require_signatures option.  But, all that option does is allow
the kernel client to talk to clusters that don't support MSG_AUTH
feature bit.  That's pretty useless, given that it's been supported
since bobtail.

Meanwhile, if one disables message signing on the server side with
"cephx sign messages = false", it becomes impossible to use the kernel
client since it expects messages to be signed if MSG_AUTH was
negotiated.  Add nocephx_sign_messages option to support this use case.

We can use msg-&gt;con instead - at the point we sign an outgoing message
or check the signature on the incoming one, msg-&gt;con is always set.  We
wouldn't know how to sign a message without an associated session (i.e.
msg-&gt;con == NULL) and being able to sign a message using an explicitly
provided authorizer is of no use.

This

    struct ceph_timespec ceph_ts;
    ...
    con_out_kvec_add(con, sizeof(ceph_ts), &amp;ceph_ts);

wraps ceph_ts into a kvec and adds it to con-&gt;out_kvec array, yet
ceph_ts becomes invalid on return from prepare_write_keepalive().  As
a result, we send out bogus keepalive2 stamps.  Fix this by encoding
into a ceph_timespec member, similar to how acks are read and written.

<title>libceph: check data_len in -&gt;alloc_msg()</title>

Only -&gt;alloc_msg() should check data_len of the incoming message
against the preallocated ceph_msg, doing it in the messenger is not
right.  The contract is that either -&gt;alloc_msg() returns a ceph_msg
which will fit all of the portions of the incoming message, or it
returns NULL and possibly sets skip, signaling whether NULL is due to
an -ENOMEM.  -&gt;alloc_msg() should be the only place where we make the
skip/no-skip decision.

I stumbled upon this while looking at con/osd ref counting.  Right now,
if we get a non-extent message with a larger data portion than we are
prepared for, -&gt;alloc_msg() returns a ceph_msg, and then, when we skip
it in the messenger, we don't put the con/osd ref acquired in
ceph_con_in_msg_alloc() (which is normally put in process_message()),
so this also fixes a memory leak.

An existing BUG_ON in ceph_msg_data_cursor_init() ensures we don't
corrupt random memory should a buggy -&gt;alloc_msg() return an unfit
ceph_msg.

While at it, I changed the "unknown tid" dout() to a pr_warn() to make
sure all skips are seen and unified format strings.
