<title>net: mscc: ocelot: allow unregistered IP multicast flooding</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2d10984d99ac2b652b4f31efd2e059957f1fa51f</id>
<content type='text'>
Flooding of unregistered IP multicast has been broken (both to other
switch ports and to the CPU) since the ocelot driver introduction, and
up until commit 4cf35a2b627a ("net: mscc: ocelot: fix broken IP
multicast flooding"), a bug fix for commit 421741ea5672 ("net: mscc:
ocelot: offload bridge port flags to device") from v5.12.

The driver used to set PGID_MCIPV4 and PGID_MCIPV6 to the empty port
mask (0), which made unregistered IPv4/IPv6 multicast go nowhere, and
without ever modifying that port mask at runtime.

The expectation is that such packets are treated as broadcast, and
flooded according to the forwarding domain (to the CPU if the port is
standalone, or to the CPU and other bridged ports, if under a bridge).

Since the aforementioned commit, the limitation has been lifted by
responding to SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS events emitted by the
bridge. As for host flooding, DSA synthesizes another call to
ocelot_port_bridge_flags() on the NPI port which ensures that the CPU
gets the unregistered multicast traffic it might need, for example for
smcroute to work between standalone ports.

But between v4.18 and v5.12, IP multicast flooding has remained unfixed.

Delete the inexplicable premature optimization of clearing PGID_MCIPV4
and PGID_MCIPV6 as part of the init sequence, and allow unregistered IP
multicast to be flooded freely according to the forwarding domain
established by PGID_SRC, by explicitly programming PGID_MCIPV4 and
PGID_MCIPV6 towards all physical ports plus the CPU port module.

commit 09654ed8a18cfd45027a67d6cbca45c9ea54feab upstream.

Got a report that a repeated crash test of a container host would

mounting the root filesystem. It manifested as a directory leaf node
corruption on writeback like so:

 XFS (loop0): log mount/recovery failed: error -117
 XFS (loop0): log mount failed

Tracing indicated that we were recovering changes from a transaction
at LSN 0x29/0x1c16 into a buffer that had an LSN of 0x29/0x1d57.
That is, log recovery was overwriting a buffer with newer changes on
disk than was in the transaction. Tracing indicated that we were
hitting the "recovery immediately" case in
xfs_buf_log_recovery_lsn(), and hence it was ignoring the LSN in the
buffer.

The code was extracting the LSN correctly, then ignoring it because
the UUID in the buffer did not match the superblock UUID. The
problem arises because the UUID check uses the wrong UUID - it
should be checking the sb_meta_uuid, not sb_uuid. This filesystem
has sb_uuid != sb_meta_uuid (which is fine), and the buffer has the
correct matching sb_meta_uuid in it, it's just the code checked it
against the wrong superblock uuid.

The is no corruption in the filesystem, and failing to recover the
buffer due to a write verifier failure means the recovery bug did
not propagate the corruption to disk. Hence there is no corruption
before or after this bug has manifested, the impact is limited
simply to an unmountable filesystem....

This was missed back in 2015 during an audit of incorrect sb_uuid
usage that resulted in commit fcfbe2c4ef42 ("xfs: log recovery needs
to validate against sb_meta_uuid") that fixed the magic32 buffers to
validate against sb_meta_uuid instead of sb_uuid. It missed the
magicda buffers....

<title>xfs: remove all COW fork extents when remounting readonly</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 089558bc7ba785c03815a49c89e28ad9b8de51f9 upstream.

[backport xfs_icwalk -&gt; xfs_eofblocks for 5.10.y]

As part of multiple customer escalations due to file data corruption
after copy on write operations, I wrote some fstests that use fsstress
to hammer on COW to shake things loose.  Regrettably, I caught some
filesystem shutdowns due to incorrect rmap operations with the following
loop:

mount &lt;filesystem&gt;				# (0)
fsstress &lt;run only readonly ops&gt; &amp;		# (1)
while true; do
	fsstress &lt;run all ops&gt;
	mount -o remount,ro			# (2)
	fsstress &lt;run only readonly ops&gt;
	mount -o remount,rw			# (3)
done

When (2) happens, notice that (1) is still running.  xfs_remount_ro will
call xfs_blockgc_stop to walk the inode cache to free all the COW
extents, but the blockgc mechanism races with (1)'s reader threads to
take IOLOCKs and loses, which means that it doesn't clean them all out.
Call such a file (A).

When (3) happens, xfs_remount_rw calls xfs_reflink_recover_cow, which
walks the ondisk refcount btree and frees any COW extent that it finds.
This function does not check the inode cache, which means that incore
COW forks of inode (A) is now inconsistent with the ondisk metadata.  If
one of those former COW extents are allocated and mapped into another
file (B) and someone triggers a COW to the stale reservation in (A), A's
dirty data will be written into (B) and once that's done, those blocks
will be transferred to (A)'s data fork without bumping the refcount.

The results are catastrophic -- file (B) and the refcount btree are now
corrupt.  Solve this race by forcing the xfs_blockgc_free_space to run
synchronously, which causes xfs_icwalk to return to inodes that were
skipped because the blockgc code couldn't take the IOLOCK.  This is safe
to do here because the VFS has already prohibited new writer threads.

commit a1de97fe296c52eafc6590a3506f4bbd44ecb19a upstream.

When getxattr calls xfs_attr_node_get function, xfs_da3_node_lookup_int fails with EFSCORRUPTED in
xfs_attr_node_hasname because we have use blocktrash to random it in xfs/126. So it
free state in internal and xfs_attr_node_get doesn't do xfs_buf_trans release job.

Then subsequent removexattr will hang because of it.

This bug was introduced by kernel commit 07120f1abdff ("xfs: Add xfs_has_attr and subroutines").
It adds xfs_attr_node_hasname helper and said caller will be responsible for freeing the state
in this case. But xfs_attr_node_hasname will free state itself instead of caller if
xfs_da3_node_lookup_int fails.

Fix this bug by moving the step of free state into caller.

[amir: this text from original commit is not relevant for 5.10 backport:
Also, use "goto error/out" instead of returning error directly in xfs_attr_node_addname_find_attr and
xfs_attr_node_removename_setup function because we should free state ourselves.

<title>xfs: punch out data fork delalloc blocks on COW writeback failure</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 5ca5916b6bc93577c360c06cb7cdf71adb9b5faf upstream.

If writeback I/O to a COW extent fails, the COW fork blocks are
punched out and the data fork blocks left alone. It is possible for
COW fork blocks to overlap non-shared data fork blocks (due to
cowextsz hint prealloc), however, and writeback unconditionally maps
to the COW fork whenever blocks exist at the corresponding offset of
the page undergoing writeback. This means it's quite possible for a
COW fork extent to overlap delalloc data fork blocks, writeback to
convert and map to the COW fork blocks, writeback to fail, and
finally for ioend completion to cancel the COW fork blocks and leave
stale data fork delalloc blocks around in the inode. The blocks are
effectively stale because writeback failure also discards dirty page
state.

If this occurs, it is likely to trigger assert failures, free space
accounting corruption and failures in unrelated file operations. For
example, a subsequent reflink attempt of the affected file to a new
target file will trip over the stale delalloc in the source file and
fail. Several of these issues are occasionally reproduced by
generic/648, but are reproducible on demand with the right sequence
of operations and timely I/O error injection.

To fix this problem, update the ioend failure path to also punch out
underlying data fork delalloc blocks on I/O error. This is analogous
to the writeback submission failure path in xfs_discard_page() where
we might fail to map data fork delalloc blocks and consistent with
the successful COW writeback completion path, which is responsible
for unmapping from the data fork and remapping in COW fork blocks.

commit c30a0cbd07ecc0eec7b3cd568f7b1c7bb7913f93 upstream.

For kmalloc() allocations SLOB prepends the blocks with a 4-byte header,
and it puts the size of the allocated blocks in that header.
Blocks allocated with kmem_cache_alloc() allocations do not have that
header.

SLOB explodes when you allocate memory with kmem_cache_alloc() and then
try to free it with kfree() instead of kmem_cache_free().
SLOB will assume that there is a header when there is none, read some
garbage to size variable and corrupt the adjacent objects, which
eventually leads to hang or panic.

Let's make XFS work with SLOB by using proper free function.

commit 7d6b902ea0e02b2a25c480edf471cbaa4ebe6b3c upstream.

The local variables check_state (in bch_btree_check()) and state (in
bch_sectors_dirty_init()) should be fully filled by 0, because before
allocating them on stack, they were dynamically allocated by kzalloc().

commit 2390095113e98fc52fffe35c5206d30d9efe3f78 upstream.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.

modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.

Commit 28438794aba4 ("modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported
init/exit sections") fixed it so modpost started to warn it again, then
this showed up:

    MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(___ksymtab_gpl+tick_nohz_full_setup+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_tick_nohz_full_setup to the function .init.text:tick_nohz_full_setup()
  The symbol tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init
  Fix this by removing the __init annotation of tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export.

Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called from the
built-in code in kernel/sched/isolation.c.
