2020-03-13afs: Use kfree_rcu() instead of casting kfree() to rcu_callback_tJann Horn1-1/+1
afs_put_addrlist() casts kfree() to rcu_callback_t. Apart from being wrong in theory, this might also blow up when people start enforcing function types via compiler instrumentation, and it means the rcu_head has to be first in struct afs_addr_list. Use kfree_rcu() instead, it's simpler and more correct.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells: "These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware. Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier: - Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it easier to add more bits into the key. - Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of multiplications). - Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively. Then the main patches: - Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not accessible cross-user_namespace. keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this. - Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_* flags will only pick from the current user_namespace). - Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of multiple keys with the same description, but different target domains to be held in the same keyring. keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this. - Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected. - Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned the network domain in force when they are created. - Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock. This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the appropriate network namespace down into dns_query(). For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not. Other cache keyrings, such as idmapper keyrings, also need to set the domain tag - for which they need access to the network namespace of the superblock" * tag 'keys-namespace-20190627' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: keys: Pass the network namespace into request_key mechanism keys: Network namespace domain tag keys: Garbage collect keys for which the domain has been removed keys: Include target namespace in match criteria keys: Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace keys: Namespace keyring names keys: Add a 'recurse' flag for keyring searches keys: Cache the hash value to avoid lots of recalculation keys: Simplify key description management

2018-10-24afs: Implement VL server rotationDavid Howells1-79/+84
Track VL servers as independent entities rather than lumping all their addresses together into one set and implement server-level rotation by: (1) Add the concept of a VL server list, where each server has its own separate address list. This code is similar to the FS server list. (2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings. (3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy server record and attach all the addresses to that. (4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the priorities and weights assigned to the servers. (5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers. This also displays the source and status of the data as indicated by the upcall. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2018-10-24afs: Improve FS server rotation error handlingDavid Howells1-3/+1
Improve the error handling in FS server rotation by: (1) Cache the latest useful error value for the fs operation as a whole in struct afs_fs_cursor separately from the error cached in the afs_addr_cursor struct. The one in the address cursor gets clobbered occasionally. Copy over the error to the fs operation only when it's something we'd be interested in passing to userspace. (2) Make it so that EDESTADDRREQ is the default that is seen only if no addresses are available to be accessed. (3) When calling utility functions, such as checking a volume status or probing a fileserver, don't let a successful result clobber the cached error in the cursor; instead, stash the result in a temporary variable until it has been assessed. (4) Don't return ETIMEDOUT or ETIME if a better error, such as ENETUNREACH, is already cached. (5) On leaving the rotation loop, turn any remote abort code into a more useful error than ECONNABORTED.

It currently turns AF_INET addresses into AF_INET-as-AF_INET6 addresses based on an assumption that this was necessary; on further inspection of the code, however, it turns out that the IPv6 code just farms packets aimed at AF_INET addresses out to the IPv4 code.

2018-06-06treewide: Use struct_size() for kmalloc()-familyKees Cook1-2/+1
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; }; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family) uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the "CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle script: // pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len * // sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL); @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; identifier VAR, ELEMENT; expression COUNT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(*VAR) + COUNT * sizeof(*VAR->ELEMENT), GFP) + alloc(struct_size(VAR, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) // mr = kzalloc(sizeof(*mr) + m * sizeof(mr->map[0]), GFP_KERNEL); @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; identifier VAR, ELEMENT; expression COUNT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(*VAR) + COUNT * sizeof(VAR->ELEMENT[0]), GFP) + alloc(struct_size(VAR, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) // Same pattern, but can't trivially locate the trailing element name, // or variable name. @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; expression SOMETHING, COUNT, ELEMENT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(SOMETHING) + COUNT * sizeof(ELEMENT), GFP) + alloc(CHECKME_struct_size(&SOMETHING, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

2018-02-06afs: Fix missing cursor clearanceDavid Howells1-3/+10
afs_select_fileserver() ends the address cursor it is using in the case in which we get some sort of network error and run out of addresses to iterate through, before it jumps to try the next server. This also needs to be done when the server aborts with some sort of error that means we should try the next server. Fix this by: (1) Move the iterate_address afs_end_cursor() call to the next_server case. (2) End the cursor in the failed case. (3) Make afs_end_cursor() clear the ->begun flag and ->addr pointer in the address cursor. (4) Make afs_end_cursor() able to be called on an already cleared cursor.

2017-11-13afs: Make use of the YFS service upgrade to fully support IPv6David Howells1-6/+48
YFS VL servers offer an upgraded Volume Location service that can return IPv6 addresses to fileservers and volume servers in addition to IPv4 addresses using the YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation which we should use if it's available. To this end: (1) Make rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() return the call's current service ID so that the caller can detect service upgrade and see what the service was upgraded to. (2) When we see a VL server address we haven't seen before, send a VL.GetCapabilities operation to it with the service upgrade bit set. If we get an upgrade to the YFS VL service, change the service ID in the address list for that address to use the upgraded service and set a flag to note that this appears to be a YFS-compatible server. (3) If, when a server's addresses are being looked up, we note that we previously detected a YFS-compatible server, then send the YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation rather than VL.GetAddrsU. (4) Build a fileserver address list from the reply of YFSVL.GetEndpoints, including both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Volume server addresses are discarded. (5) The address list is sorted by address and port now, instead of just address. This allows multiple servers on the same host sitting on different ports.

2017-11-13afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotationDavid Howells1-0/+31
The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist that are aliases of each other. Further, an organisation can, say, set up a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets of servers. The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL servers. The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in just one cell. Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say). To this end, the following structural changes are made: (1) Server record management is overhauled: (a) Server records are made independent of cell. The namespace keeps track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode has a server on which its callback interest currently resides. (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in that cell. (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no single address to sort on. (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace. (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a parameter. (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed to complete. This protects the work functions against rmmod. (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers. (2) Volume record management is overhauled: (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced. This tracks both servers and their coresponding callback interests. (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID. (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it, and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted. This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a double-use in fscache. (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU to get the server UUID list. (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID). (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer cached. Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup). and the following procedural changes are made: (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses. (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is replaced if a change is detected. (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is replaced if a change is detected. (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than translating the abort into an error message. This allows actions to be taken depending on the abort code more easily. (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the volume and restarting the iteration. (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying other servers that might serve that volume. A message is also displayed once until the condition has cleared. (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the moment. (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs salvaging. (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program. (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor. vnode.c is removed. (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second op sent will just have to wait. (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used. This is where service upgrade will be done. (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback. The callback interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set there too. In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items and special threads. Notes: (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998). (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s. (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2017-11-13afs: Add an address list conceptDavid Howells1-0/+308
Add an RCU replaceable address list structure to hold a list of server addresses. The list also holds the To this end: (1) A cell's VL server address list can be loaded directly via insmod or echo to /proc/fs/afs/cells or dynamically from a DNS query for AFSDB or SRV records. (2) Anyone wanting to use a cell's VL server address must wait until the cell record comes online and has tried to obtain some addresses. (3) An FS server's address list, for the moment, has a single entry that is the key to the server list. This will change in the future when a server is instead keyed on its UUID and the VL.GetAddrsU operation is used. (4) An 'address cursor' concept is introduced to handle iteration through the address list. This is passed to the afs_make_call() as, in the future, stuff (such as abort code) that doesn't outlast the call will be returned in it. In the future, we might want to annotate the list with information about how each address fares. We might then want to propagate such annotations over address list replacement. Whilst we're at it, we allow IPv6 addresses to be specified in colon-delimited lists by enclosing them in square brackets. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
