commit c27e360545373b7aee9862a5beef3b9fb3df0c25 upstream.

dibs-&gt;lock is initialised by dibs_dev_add(), but a dibs device can
already take interrupts before that call: ism_probe() runs
ism_dev_init(), and hence request_irq(), before it calls
dibs_dev_add(). No client can have registered a dmb at that point, so
no dmb interrupt can occur, but a GID event interrupt can, and
ism_handle_irq() takes dibs-&gt;lock unconditionally on entry, before it
inspects anything else.

Initialise the lock in dibs_dev_alloc() instead, so that it is valid as
soon as a driver can publish the device to its interrupt handler.

commit 9e6869be49064915edb6c8776b27c376cfdb0df5 upstream.

A dibs device interrupt handler can be active after dibs_dev_del() and
may still access dmb_clientid_arr. (UAF)

In case of a failure in dibs_dev_add() being called by dibs_lo_dev_probe()
dmb_clientid_arr is freed twice (double free).

Free dmb_clientid_arr in dibs_dev_release() after last reference is gone.
Note that allocating in dibs_dev_add() instead of dibs_dev_alloc() is ok
for now, because no dmbs can be registered before dibs_dev_add().

<title>dibs: fix use-after-free of dmb_node in loopback attach/detach/unregister</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c0837aeace96152d14b17fdd19d70102b6631a7d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a10ea943356b9d70c5616a0a06f6fa97cfdaccb1 upstream.

dibs_lo_attach_dmb(), dibs_lo_detach_dmb() and dibs_lo_unregister_dmb()
look up the dmb_node under dmb_ht_lock, drop the lock and only then
operate on the node's refcount. Nothing keeps the node alive across
that window: __dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() removes the node from the hash
table under the write lock and immediately frees it.

A concurrent final put can therefore free the node between the lookup
and the refcount operation:

CPU0 (attach)                     CPU1 (owner unregisters)

read_lock_bh(&amp;dmb_ht_lock)
find dmb_node (refcnt == 1)
read_unlock_bh(&amp;dmb_ht_lock)
                                  refcount_dec_and_test() 1 -&gt; 0
                                  write_lock_bh(&amp;dmb_ht_lock)
                                  hash_del(&amp;dmb_node-&gt;list)
                                  write_unlock_bh(&amp;dmb_ht_lock)
                                  kfree(dmb_node)
refcount_inc_not_zero(&amp;dmb_node-&gt;refcnt)  &lt;-- use-after-free

The same window exists for the refcount_dec_and_test() calls in the
detach and unregister paths.

Close the race structurally by making hash table membership and the
refcount transitions atomic with respect to each other:

- Perform the final refcount_dec_and_test() and hash_del() in a single
  dmb_ht_lock write-side critical section, in both the unregister and
  the detach path. Freeing the node still happens after the lock is
  dropped, which is safe because a node whose refcount reached zero has
  left the hash table and can no longer be found.

- This establishes the invariant that any node found in the hash table
  holds at least one reference, and that the final reference can only
  be dropped under the write lock. dibs_lo_attach_dmb() can thus take
  its reference with a plain refcount_inc() while still holding the
  read lock; refcount_inc_not_zero() is no longer needed.

__dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() no longer touches the hash table and is
renamed to dibs_lo_free_dmb() accordingly.

Note: commit cc21191b584c ("dibs: Move data path to dibs layer") moved
the code to its current location; the race was introduced earlier by
commit c3a910f2380f ("net/smc: implement DMB-merged operations of
loopback-ism").

Tested SMC-D via ISM and dibs loopback.

<content type='text'>
commit 78237e3c0720fcc6eb9b87e90fd70f63eeca886f upstream.

The loopback move_data() performs a memcpy into the registered DMB
without checking whether offset + size exceeds the DMB length.  Unlike
real ISM hardware, which enforces memory region bounds natively, the
software loopback has no such protection.

A peer-supplied out-of-bounds offset or oversized write would result in
an OOB write past the allocated kernel buffer.  Add an explicit bounds
check before the memcpy to reject such requests with -EINVAL.

Add defines for all event types and subtypes an ism device is known to
produce as it can be helpful for debugging purposes.

Introduces a generic 'struct dibs_event' and adopt ism device driver
and smc-d client accordingly. Tolerate and ignore other type and subtype
values to enable future device extensions.

SMC-D and ISM are now independent.
struct ism_dev can be moved to drivers/s390/net/ism.h.

Note that in smc, the term 'ism' is still used. Future patches could
replace that with 'dibs' or 'smc-d' as appropriate.

Use struct dibs_dmb instead of struct smc_dmb and move the corresponding
client tables to dibs_dev. Leave driver specific implementation details
like sba in the device drivers.

Register and unregister dmbs via dibs_dev_ops. A dmb is dedicated to a
single client, but a dibs device can have dmbs for more than one client.

Trigger dibs clients via dibs_client_ops-&gt;handle_irq(), when data is
received into a dmb. For dibs_loopback replace scheduling an smcd receive
tasklet with calling dibs_client_ops-&gt;handle_irq().

For loopback devices attach_dmb(), detach_dmb() and move_data() need to
access the dmb tables, so move those to dibs_dev_ops in this patch as well.

Remove remaining definitions of smc_loopback as they are no longer
required, now that everything is in dibs_loopback.

Note that struct ism_client and struct ism_dev are still required in smc
until a follow-on patch moves event handling to dibs. (Loopback does not
use events).

Define a uuid_t GID attribute to identify a dibs device.

SMC uses 64 Bit and 128 Bit Global Identifiers (GIDs) per device, that
need to be sent via the SMC protocol. Because the smc code uses integers,
network endianness and host endianness need to be considered. Avoid this
in the dibs layer by using uuid_t byte arrays. Future patches could change
SMC to use uuid_t. For now conversion helper functions are introduced.

ISM devices provide 64 Bit GIDs. Map them to dibs uuid_t GIDs like this:
 _________________________________________
| 64 Bit ISM-vPCI GID | 00000000_00000000 |
 -----------------------------------------
If interpreted as UUID [1], this would be interpreted as the UIID variant,
that is reserved for NCS backward compatibility. So it will not collide
with UUIDs that were generated according to the standard.

smc_loopback already uses version 4 UUIDs as 128 Bit GIDs, move that to
dibs loopback. A temporary change to smc_lo_query_rgid() is required,
that will be moved to dibs_loopback with a follow-on patch.

Provide gid of a dibs device as sysfs read-only attribute.
