<id>urn:sha1:a1f0137aec9c83e881b3d53958ae2416834311a4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 28e1581c3b4ea5f98530064a103c6217bedeea73 upstream.

con-&gt;out_msg must be cleared on Policy::stateful_server
(!CEPH_MSG_CONNECT_LOSSY) faults.  Not doing so botches the
reconnection attempt, because after writing the banner the
messenger moves on to writing the data section of that message
(either from where it got interrupted by the connection reset or
from the beginning) instead of writing struct ceph_msg_connect.
This results in a bizarre error message because the server
sends CEPH_MSGR_TAG_BADPROTOVER but we think we wrote struct
ceph_msg_connect:

  libceph: mds0 (1)172.21.15.45:6828 socket error on write
  ceph: mds0 reconnect start
  libceph: mds0 (1)172.21.15.45:6829 socket closed (con state OPEN)
  libceph: mds0 (1)172.21.15.45:6829 protocol version mismatch, my 32 != server's 32
  libceph: mds0 (1)172.21.15.45:6829 protocol version mismatch

AFAICT this bug goes back to the dawn of the kernel client.
The reason it survived for so long is that only MDS sessions
are stateful and only two MDS messages have a data section:
CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_RECONNECT (always, but reconnecting is rare)
and CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_REQUEST (only when xattrs are involved).
The connection has to get reset precisely when such message
is being sent -- in this case it was the former.

<title>libceph: handle an empty authorize reply</title>

<id>urn:sha1:82774efd6d34167fdb260cd74ee37fcbf323dda0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0fd3fd0a9bb0b02b6435bb7070e9f7b82a23f068 upstream.

The authorize reply can be empty, for example when the ticket used to
build the authorizer is too old and TAG_BADAUTHORIZER is returned from
the service.  Calling -&gt;verify_authorizer_reply() results in an attempt
to decrypt and validate (somewhat) random data in au-&gt;buf (most likely
the signature block from calc_signature()), which fails and ends up in
con_fault_finish() with !con-&gt;auth_retry.  The ticket isn't invalidated
and the connection is retried again and again until a new ticket is
obtained from the monitor:

  libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
  libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
  libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
  libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply

Let TAG_BADAUTHORIZER handler kick in and increment con-&gt;auth_retry.

<title>libceph: avoid KEEPALIVE_PENDING races in ceph_con_keepalive()</title>

commit 4aac9228d16458cedcfd90c7fb37211cf3653ac3 upstream.

con_fault() can transition the connection into STANDBY right after
ceph_con_keepalive() clears STANDBY in clear_standby():

    libceph user thread               ceph-msgr worker

ceph_con_keepalive()
  mutex_lock(&amp;con-&gt;mutex)
  clear_standby(con)
  mutex_unlock(&amp;con-&gt;mutex)
                                mutex_lock(&amp;con-&gt;mutex)
                                con_fault()
                                  ...
                                  if KEEPALIVE_PENDING isn't set
                                    set state to STANDBY
                                  ...
                                mutex_unlock(&amp;con-&gt;mutex)
  set KEEPALIVE_PENDING
  set WRITE_PENDING

This triggers warnings in clear_standby() when either ceph_con_send()
or ceph_con_keepalive() get to clearing STANDBY next time.

I don't see a reason to condition queue_con() call on the previous
value of KEEPALIVE_PENDING, so move the setting of KEEPALIVE_PENDING
into the critical section -- unlike WRITE_PENDING, KEEPALIVE_PENDING
could have been a non-atomic flag.

<title>libceph: validate con-&gt;state at the top of try_write()</title>

commit 9c55ad1c214d9f8c4594ac2c3fa392c1c32431a7 upstream.

ceph_con_workfn() validates con-&gt;state before calling try_read() and
then try_write().  However, try_read() temporarily releases con-&gt;mutex,
notably in process_message() and ceph_con_in_msg_alloc(), opening the
window for ceph_con_close() to sneak in, close the connection and
release con-&gt;sock.  When try_write() is called on the assumption that
con-&gt;state is still valid (i.e. not STANDBY or CLOSED), a NULL sock
gets passed to the networking stack:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
  IP: selinux_socket_sendmsg+0x5/0x20

Make sure con-&gt;state is valid at the top of try_write() and add an
explicit BUG_ON for this, similar to try_read().

commit 5c056fdc5b474329037f2aa18401bd73033e0ce0 upstream.

After sending an authorizer (ceph_x_authorize_a + ceph_x_authorize_b),
the client gets back a ceph_x_authorize_reply, which it is supposed to
verify to ensure the authenticity and protect against replay attacks.
The code for doing this is there (ceph_x_verify_authorizer_reply(),
ceph_auth_verify_authorizer_reply() + plumbing), but it is never
invoked by the the messenger.

AFAICT this goes back to 2009, when ceph authentication protocols
support was added to the kernel client in 4e7a5dcd1bba ("ceph:
negotiate authentication protocol; implement AUTH_NONE protocol").

The second param of ceph_connection_operations::verify_authorizer_reply
is unused all the way down.  Pass 0 to facilitate backporting, and kill
it in the next commit.

commit e7a88e82fe380459b864e05b372638aeacb0f52d upstream.

The contract between try_read() and try_write() is that when called
each processes as much data as possible.  When instructed by osd_client
to skip a message, try_read() is violating this contract by returning
after receiving and discarding a single message instead of checking for
more.  try_write() then gets a chance to write out more requests,
generating more replies/skips for try_read() to handle, forcing the
messenger into a starvation loop.

<content type='text'>
commit 67645d7619738e51c668ca69f097cb90b5470422 upstream.

There are a number of problems with revoking a "was sending" message:

(1) We never make any attempt to revoke data - only kvecs contibute to
con-&gt;out_skip.  However, once the header (envelope) is written to the
socket, our peer learns data_len and sets itself to expect at least
data_len bytes to follow front or front+middle.  If ceph_msg_revoke()
is called while the messenger is sending message's data portion,
anything we send after that call is counted by the OSD towards the now
revoked message's data portion.  The effects vary, the most common one
is the eventual hang - higher layers get stuck waiting for the reply to
the message that was sent out after ceph_msg_revoke() returned and
treated by the OSD as a bunch of data bytes.  This is what Matt ran
into.

(2) Flat out zeroing con-&gt;out_kvec_bytes worth of bytes to handle kvecs
is wrong.  If ceph_msg_revoke() is called before the tag is sent out or
while the messenger is sending the header, we will get a connection
reset, either due to a bad tag (0 is not a valid tag) or a bad header
CRC, which kind of defeats the purpose of revoke.  Currently the kernel
client refuses to work with header CRCs disabled, but that will likely
change in the future, making this even worse.

(3) con-&gt;out_skip is not reset on connection reset, leading to one or
more spurious connection resets if we happen to get a real one between
con-&gt;out_skip is set in ceph_msg_revoke() and before it's cleared in
write_partial_skip().

Fixing (1) and (3) is trivial.  The idea behind fixing (2) is to never
zero the tag or the header, i.e. send out tag+header regardless of when
ceph_msg_revoke() is called.  That way the header is always correct, no
unnecessary resets are induced and revoke stands ready for disabled
CRCs.  Since ceph_msg_revoke() rips out con-&gt;out_msg, introduce a new
"message out temp" and copy the header into it before sending.

The following bit in ceph_msg_revoke_incoming() is unsafe:

    struct ceph_connection *con = msg-&gt;con;
    if (!con)
            return;
    mutex_lock(&amp;con-&gt;mutex);
    &lt;more msg-&gt;con use&gt;

There is nothing preventing con from getting destroyed right after
msg-&gt;con test.  One easy way to reproduce this is to disable message
signing only on the server side and try to map an image.  The system
will go into a

    libceph: read_partial_message ffff880073f0ab68 signature check failed
    libceph: osd0 192.168.255.155:6801 bad crc/signature
    libceph: read_partial_message ffff880073f0ab68 signature check failed
    libceph: osd0 192.168.255.155:6801 bad crc/signature

loop which has to be interrupted with Ctrl-C.  Hit Ctrl-C and you are
likely to end up with a random GP fault if the reset handler executes
"within" ceph_msg_revoke_incoming():

                     &lt;yet another reply w/o a signature&gt;
                                   ...
          &lt;Ctrl-C&gt;
    rbd_obj_request_end
      ceph_osdc_cancel_request
        __unregister_request
          ceph_osdc_put_request
            ceph_msg_revoke_incoming
                                   ...
                                osd_reset
                                  __kick_osd_requests
                                    __reset_osd
                                      remove_osd
                                        ceph_con_close
                                          reset_connection
                                            &lt;clear con-&gt;in_msg-&gt;con&gt;
                                            &lt;put con ref&gt;
                                              put_osd
                                                &lt;free osd/con&gt;
              &lt;msg-&gt;con use&gt; &lt;-- !!!

If ceph_msg_revoke_incoming() executes "before" the reset handler,
osd/con will be leaked because ceph_msg_revoke_incoming() clears
con-&gt;in_msg but doesn't put con ref, while reset_connection() only puts
con ref if con-&gt;in_msg != NULL.

The current msg-&gt;con scheme was introduced by commits 38941f8031bf
("libceph: have messages point to their connection") and 92ce034b5a74
("libceph: have messages take a connection reference"), which defined
when messages get associated with a connection and when that
association goes away.  Part of the problem is that this association is
supposed to go away in much too many places; closing this race entirely
requires either a rework of the existing or an addition of a new layer
of synchronization.

In lieu of that, we can make it *much* less likely to hit by
disassociating messages only on their destruction and resend through
a different connection.  This makes the code simpler and is probably
a good thing to do regardless - this patch adds a msg_con_set() helper
which is is called from only three places: ceph_con_send() and
ceph_con_in_msg_alloc() to set msg-&gt;con and ceph_msg_release() to clear
it.
