[ Upstream commit 88a59bda3f3786107694a3f5fd7f9df421752c21 ]

Convert the passed page to a folio and use it
throughout ceph_page_mkwrite().  Removes the last call to
page_mkwrite_check_truncate(), the last call to offset_in_thp() and one
of the last calls to thp_size().  Saves a few calls to compound_head().

<title>ceph: fix hanging __ceph_get_caps() with stale mds_wanted</title>

[ Upstream commit 50958bb928bad3bdba9e5d1b7ff4bbadcf6951e6 ]

A reader can hang forever in __ceph_get_caps() when the client no
longer holds `FILE_RD`, but local cap state still says that the
capability is already wanted (via `mds_wanted`).

One way to trigger this is through MDS cap revocation.  If another
client performs a conflicting operation, the MDS can revoke `FILE_RD`
from the reader; the next read then has to reacquire `FILE_RD`.  If
the cap update that should request `FILE_RD` never reaches the MDS
after `cap-&gt;mds_wanted` was raised, the reader is left holding only
non-file caps while local `mds_wanted` still includes the file read
caps.

In that state, try_get_cap_refs() sees `need &lt;= mds_wanted` and
returns 0, so __ceph_get_caps() just waits on `i_cap_wq`.  If the cap
update that was supposed to request `FILE_RD never reaches the MDS
after `cap-&gt;mds_wanted was` raised, no further request is sent and the
waiter can sleep indefinitely until unrelated cap traffic happens to
wake it up.

The ordering issue is that `cap-&gt;mds_wanted` is updated in
__prep_cap() before the `CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_CAPS message` is actually
queued for send.  That makes one field serve two different meanings at
once: what this client wants, and what the client believes the MDS
already knows it wants.

A proper fix would be to split those states and track whether a cap
update is actually in flight or has been observed by the MDS.
However, simply moving the `cap-&gt;mds_wanted assignment` later would
not be sufficient: queueing the message in the messenger does not
guarantee that the MDS processed that specific wanted set, and
reconnect or message loss can still invalidate that assumption.
Fixing that properly would require a larger rework of the cap state
machine.

To allow simpler backports to stable kernels, this patch implements a
simpler workaround:

- stop waiting forever in __ceph_get_caps(); after a bounded wait,
  fall back to the renew path

- make ceph_renew_caps() issue a synchronous `OPEN` request whenever
  the inode still does not actually hold the wanted caps, instead of
  only calling ceph_check_caps()

The extra issued-vs-wanted check in ceph_renew_caps() is necessary
because the previous test only checked whether the inode still had any
real caps at all.  That is not enough after revocation: the client can
still hold something like `pLs` and yet be missing `FILE_RD`
completely.  In that case, falling back to ceph_check_caps() is not
sufficient, because it still trusts `cap-&gt;mds_wanted` and may resend
nothing.  By requiring `(issued &amp; wanted) == wanted` before taking the
asynchronous path, the code only uses ceph_check_caps() when the
`wanted caps` are already actually issued.  Otherwise, it sends the
synchronous `OPEN` renew.

This preserves the existing asynchronous fast path when the wanted
caps are already issued, avoids changing cap-state semantics, and
fixes the hang by guaranteeing that a stalled waiter eventually
retries through a path that does not rely on the stale `mds_wanted`
state.

Ceph already has a writepages operation which is preferred over writepage
in all situations except for page migration.  By adding a migrate_folio
operation, there will be no situations in which -&gt;writepage should
be called.  filemap_migrate_folio() is an appropriate operation to use
because the ceph data stored in folio-&gt;private does not contain any
reference to the memory address of the folio.

[ Upstream commit 5b602344a49e039e792ce5a8923bcc61412ee134 ]

handle_reply() stores a `ceph_mds_request` pointer in
`current-&gt;journal_info` while filling the inode and dentry cache from
an MDS reply.

An allocation in this section can enter direct reclaim and prune
dentries from another filesystem.  If this dirties an ext4 inode, ext4
starts a JBD2 transaction.  JBD2 interprets the Ceph request in
`current-&gt;journal_info` as a journal handle and dereferences the
request's `r_tid` as `h_transaction`, causing a kernel crash, e.g.:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000077b4818

CEPH_MDS_IS_READY() is parsed so that the ternary expression can
return true for an MDS entry with state 0 when it is not laggy. This
allows the random selector to choose a down/DNE rank.

Group the ternary expression under the state check so zero-state ranks
are not treated as ready.

[ Upstream commit c3e64079d8b9663e3998d0caac9aba915b6b93ae ]

The ceph_readdir() function allocates a ceph_mds_request via
ceph_mdsc_create_request() and stores it in dfi-&gt;last_readdir. In
the directory entry processing loop, if the entry's offset is less
than ctx-&gt;pos or if the inode pointer is unexpectedly NULL, the
function returns -EIO without releasing the reference held by
dfi-&gt;last_readdir, causing a refcount leak.

Fix this by adding ceph_mdsc_put_request(dfi-&gt;last_readdir) before
returning on these error paths. Also set dfi-&gt;last_readdir to NULL
for safety, matching the cleanup done at the normal exit.

Multiple CephFS mounts on a host is increasingly common so
disambiguating messages like this is necessary and will make it easier
to debug issues.

At the same this will improve the debug logs to make them easier to
troubleshooting issues, such as print the ino# instead only printing
the memory addresses of the corresponding inodes and print the dentry
names instead of the corresponding memory addresses for the dentry,etc.

commit 4dbc71bcaf9a30abf3920a4e2cc4ed33bba78c02 upstream.

ceph_handle_caps() reads snap_trace_len from the wire-format
ceph_mds_caps header and uses it unconditionally to build a fake
end pointer (snaptrace + snaptrace_len) that is later handed to
ceph_update_snap_trace() in the CEPH_CAP_OP_IMPORT case:

    snaptrace     = h + 1;
    snaptrace_len = le32_to_cpu(h-&gt;snap_trace_len);
    p             = snaptrace + snaptrace_len;
    ...
    case CEPH_CAP_OP_IMPORT:
        if (snaptrace_len) {
            ...
            if (ceph_update_snap_trace(mdsc, snaptrace,
                                       snaptrace + snaptrace_len,
                                       false, &amp;realm)) { ... }

ceph_update_snap_trace() then decodes a struct ceph_mds_snap_realm
from snaptrace using ceph_decode_need(&amp;p, e, sizeof(*ri), bad)
with the attacker-supplied fake end e == snaptrace + snaptrace_len.
With snaptrace_len == 0xFFFFFFFF the bound check is trivially
satisfied, ri = p reads sizeof(struct ceph_mds_snap_realm) past
the legitimate msg-&gt;front buffer, and ri-&gt;num_snaps /
ri-&gt;num_prior_parent_snaps then drive further out-of-bounds
reads of the encoded snap arrays.

The eleven msg_version &gt;= 2 .. msg_version &gt;= 12 decoder blocks
above the op switch each catch this OOB through their
ceph_decode_*_safe() / ceph_decode_need() helpers, but they sit
behind a hdr.version-gated if, so a malicious or compromised
MDS that sets msg-&gt;hdr.version = 1 reaches the IMPORT path with
no version-gated decoder having validated snap_trace_len. The
shape has been present since ceph_handle_caps() was introduced.

Validate snap_trace_len against the message front buffer before
consuming it, using the canonical ceph_decode_need() / ceph_has_room()
helper.  The helper bounds the length with subtraction (n &lt;= end - p,
guarded by end &gt;= p) rather than pointer addition, so it is wrap-safe
for the attacker-controlled u32 length on 32-bit builds where
p + snap_trace_len could overflow the address space.  This matches the
rest of the ceph decode path (e.g. the pool_ns_len check a few lines
below), and the existing goto bad cleanup already covers this exit
path.

[ Upstream commit 803447f93d75ab6e40c85e6d12b5630d281d70d6 ]

Ceph can call d_add(dentry, NULL) on a negative dentry that is already
present in the primary dcache hash.

In the current VFS that is not safe.  d_add() goes through __d_add()
to __d_rehash(), which unconditionally reinserts dentry-&gt;d_hash into
the hlist_bl bucket.  If the dentry is already hashed, reinserting the
same node can corrupt the bucket, including creating a self-loop.
Once that happens, __d_lookup() can spin forever in the hlist_bl walk,
typically looping only on the d_name.hash mismatch check and
eventually triggering RCU stall reports like this one:

This is reachable with reused cached negative dentries.  A Ceph lookup
or atomic_open can be handed a negative dentry that is already hashed,
and fs/ceph/dir.c then hits one of two paths that incorrectly assume
"negative" also means "unhashed":

  - ceph_finish_lookup():
      MDS reply is -ENOENT with no trace
      -&gt; d_add(dentry, NULL)

  - ceph_lookup():
      local ENOENT fast path for a complete directory with shared caps
      -&gt; d_add(dentry, NULL)

Both paths can therefore re-add an already-hashed negative dentry.

Ceph already uses the correct pattern elsewhere: ceph_fill_trace() only
calls d_add(dn, NULL) for a negative null-dentry reply when d_unhashed(dn)
is true.

Fix both fs/ceph/dir.c sites the same way: only call d_add() for a
negative dentry when it is actually unhashed.  If the negative dentry
is already hashed, leave it in place and reuse it as-is.

This preserves the existing behavior for unhashed dentries while
avoiding d_hash list corruption for reused hashed negatives.
