bootconfig: move xbc_snprint_cmdline() to lib/bootconfig.c

2026-08-03T09:17:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5a643e4623238e14b03d75ca0d4eda0645720cee ] Move xbc_snprint_cmdline() from init/main.c to lib/bootconfig.c so the function (and its xbc_namebuf scratch buffer) becomes part of the shared parser library. tools/bootconfig already compiles lib/bootconfig.c directly, which lets a follow-up patch reuse the same renderer in the userspace tool to convert a bootconfig file into a flat cmdline string at build time. No functional change.

cred: add scoped_with_kernel_creds()

2026-08-03T09:17:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit ae40e6c65791f47c76cc14d0cce2707fe6053f72 ] Add a new cleanup class for override creds. We can make use of this in a bunch of places going forward. Based on this scoped_with_kernel_creds() that can be used to temporarily assume kernel credentials for specific tasks such as firmware loading, or coredump socket connections. At no point will the caller interact with the kernel credentials directly.

SUNRPC: Return an error from xdr_buf_to_bvec() on overflow

2026-08-03T09:17:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 18c1cc69886192e33536498289d26dba6894e3d5 ] xdr_buf_to_bvec() returns a slot count even when the caller's bvec budget is exhausted partway through the xdr_buf. Callers feed that count into iov_iter_bvec() and continue as if the conversion had succeeded, silently sending or writing fewer bytes than the data length declares. For an NFS WRITE the server reports the truncated transfer to the client as full success. The overflow represents an internal invariant violation: a higher layer reserved a bvec budget too small for the xdr_buf it then asked the encoder to convert. That is a server-side fault, not a media I/O failure and not a malformed client argument. Change xdr_buf_to_bvec() to return a signed int and have the overflow label return -ESERVERFAULT. Update the three callers to detect the negative return and fail the request: nfsd_vfs_write() folds the error into host_err, which nfserrno() translates to nfserr_serverfault for the WRITE reply; svc_udp_sendto() and svc_tcp_sendmsg() propagate the error out of the send path.

SUNRPC: Add helpers to convert xdr_buf byte ranges to scatterlists

2026-08-03T09:17:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit e9be933959b581effd426f93b86654f5fbf0c574 ] The crypto/krb5 library accepts data in scatterlist form, but the GSS-API layer presents RPC payloads as struct xdr_buf. Bridge that gap with a pair of helper functions: xdr_buf_to_sg() - populate a caller-supplied scatterlist array from a byte range xdr_buf_to_sg_alloc() - populate a caller-supplied inline scatterlist, chaining to a heap- allocated overflow for large payloads The inline array (typically stack-allocated at eight entries) covers the common case of small RPCs with no heap allocation on the encrypt/decrypt path. Only buffers spanning many pages incur a kmalloc for the chained extension. The segment-walking logic follows the same head, page array, tail traversal as xdr_process_buf(), but populates a scatterlist directly rather than invoking a per-segment callback. sg_next() traversal makes the walker safe for chained scatterlists. Once subsequent patches reroute all per-message crypto operations through crypto/krb5, xdr_process_buf() loses its last callers and is removed.

sunrpc: allocate a separate bvec array for socket sends

2026-08-03T09:17:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6b3b697d65d46a0f640216a3f6c72856c159c567 ] svc_tcp_sendmsg() calls xdr_buf_to_bvec() with the second slot of rq_bvec as the start, but doesn't reduce the array length by one, which could lead to an array overrun. Also, rq_bvec is always rq_maxpages in length, which can be too short in some cases, since the TCP record marker consumes a slot. Fix both problems by adding a separate bvec array to the svc_sock that is specifically for sending. For TCP, make this array one slot longer than rq_maxpages, to account for the record marker. For UDP, only allocate as large an array as we need since it's limited to 64k of payload.
