commit ed527ef0c264e4bed6c7b2a158ddf516b17f5f66 upstream.

When a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when
calculating nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of
type sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks value will become a
very large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer
function __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to
process the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem lock remains held for a
long period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem
lock, resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1].

If the ending block is too small, typically if it is smaller than 4KiB
range, depending on the usage of the segment 0, it may be possible to
attempt a discard request beyond the device size causing the hang.

Exiting successfully and assign the discarded size (0 in this case)
to range-&gt;len.

Although the start and len values in the user input range are too small,
a conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is
equivalent to a no-op; it will not perform any trimming and will not
throw an error.

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko)
   fixes a build issue and does some cleanup in ib/sys_info.c

 - "Implement mul_u64_u64_div_u64_roundup()" (David Laight)
   enhances the 64-bit math code on behalf of a PWM driver and beefs up
   the test module for these library functions

 - "scripts/gdb/symbols: make BPF debug info available to GDB" (Ilya Leoshkevich)
   makes BPF symbol names, sizes, and line numbers available to the GDB
   debugger

 - "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on demand" (Feng Tang)
   adds a sysctl which can be used to cause additional info dumping when
   the hung-task and lockup detectors fire

 - "lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users" (Kuan-Wei Chiu)
   adds a general base64 encoder/decoder to lib/ and migrates several
   users away from their private implementations

 - "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()" (Eric Dumazet)
   makes TCP a little faster

 - "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin)
   reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update
   Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients

 - "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
   increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

 - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
   is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
   cover letter:

      This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
      subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
      kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
      environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
      downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
      preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
      devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

      As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
      memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
      as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
      RAM across the kexec reboot.

   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
   testing work.

 - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
   moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
   /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
   hopefully be removed one day

 - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
   fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
   regions

Pull fs header updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains initial work to start splitting up fs.h.

  Begin the long-overdue work of splitting up the monolithic fs.h
  header. The header has grown to over 3000 lines and includes types and
  functions for many different subsystems, making it difficult to
  navigate and causing excessive compilation dependencies.

  This series introduces new focused headers for superblock-related
  code:

   - Rename fs_types.h to fs_dirent.h to better reflect its actual
     content (directory entry types)

   - Add fs/super_types.h containing superblock type definitions

   - Add fs/super.h containing superblock function declarations

  This is the first step in a longer effort to modularize the VFS
  headers.

  Cleanups:

   - Inode Field Layout Optimization (Mateusz Guzik)

     Move inode fields used during fast path lookup closer together to
     improve cache locality during path resolution.

   - current_umask() Optimization (Mateusz Guzik)

     Inline current_umask() and move it to fs_struct.h. This improves
     performance by avoiding function call overhead for this
     frequently-used function, and places it in a more appropriate
     header since it operates on fs_struct"

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Hide inode-&gt;i_state behind accessors. Open-coded accesses prevent
     asserting they are done correctly. One obvious aspect is locking,
     but significantly more can be checked. For example it can be
     detected when the code is clearing flags which are already missing,
     or is setting flags when it is illegal (e.g., I_FREEING when
     -&gt;i_count &gt; 0)

   - Provide accessors for -&gt;i_state, converts all filesystems using
     coccinelle and manual conversions (btrfs, ceph, smb, f2fs, gfs2,
     overlayfs, nilfs2, xfs), and makes plain -&gt;i_state access fail to
     compile

   - Rework I_NEW handling to operate without fences, simplifying the
     code after the accessor infrastructure is in place

  Cleanups:

   - Move wait_on_inode() from writeback.h to fs.h

   - Spell out fenced -&gt;i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb
     for clarity

   - Cosmetic fixes to LRU handling

   - Push list presence check into inode_io_list_del()

   - Touch up predicts in __d_lookup_rcu()

   - ocfs2: retire ocfs2_drop_inode() and I_WILL_FREE usage

   - Assert on -&gt;i_count in iput_final()

   - Assert -&gt;i_lock held in __iget()

  Fixes:

   - Add missing fences to I_NEW handling"

Replace vmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with vmemdup_user() to
improve nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments() and nilfs_ioctl_set_suinfo().  Use
kvfree() to free the buffers created by vmemdup_user().

Use u64_to_user_ptr() instead of manually casting the pointers and
remove the obsolete 'out_free' label.

No functional changes intended.

<title>nilfs2: avoid having an active sc_timer before freeing sci</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9a6b60cb147d53968753a34805211d2e5e08c027</id>
<content type='text'>
Because kthread_stop did not stop sc_task properly and returned -EINTR,
the sc_timer was not properly closed, ultimately causing the problem [1]
reported by syzbot when freeing sci due to the sc_timer not being closed.

Because the thread sc_task main function nilfs_segctor_thread() returns 0
when it succeeds, when the return value of kthread_stop() is not 0 in
nilfs_segctor_destroy(), we believe that it has not properly closed
sc_timer.

We use timer_shutdown_sync() to sync wait for sc_timer to shutdown, and
set the value of sc_task to NULL under the protection of lock
sc_state_lock, so as to avoid the issue caused by sc_timer not being
properly shutdowned.
