[ Upstream commit d6da19c9cace63290ccfccb1fc35151ffefc0bec ]

Thread A trying to acquire a write lease checks the value of i_readcount
and i_writecount in check_conflicting_open() to verify that its own fd
is the only fd referencing the file.

Thread B trying to open the file for read will call break_lease() in
do_dentry_open() before incrementing i_readcount, which leaves a small
window where thread A can acquire the write lease and then thread B
completes the open of the file for read without breaking the write lease
that was acquired by thread A.

Fix this race by incrementing i_readcount before checking for existing
leases, same as the case with i_writecount.

Use a helper put_file_access() to decrement i_readcount or i_writecount
in do_dentry_open() and __fput().

Fixes: 387e3746d01c ("locks: eliminate false positive conflicts for write lease")

These two interface were added in 091141a42 commit,
but now there is no place to call them.

The only user of fput/fget_many() was removed in commit
62906e89e63b ("io_uring: remove file batch-get optimisation").

A user of get_file_rcu_many() were removed in commit
f073531070d2 ("init: add an init_dup helper").

And replace atomic_long_sub/add to atomic_long_dec/inc
can improve performance.

<title>SUNRPC: Ensure we flush any closed sockets before xs_xprt_free()</title>

We must ensure that all sockets are closed before we call xprt_free()
and release the reference to the net namespace. The problem is that
calling fput() will defer closing the socket until delayed_fput() gets
called.
Let's fix the situation by allowing rpciod and the transport teardown
code (which runs on the system wq) to call __fput_sync(), and directly
close the socket.

Commit 3ba442d5331f ("fs: move binfmt_misc sysctl to its own file") did
not go unnoticed, binfmt-support stopped to work on my Debian system
since v5.17-rc2 (did not check with -rc1).

The existance of the /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc is a precondition for
attempting to mount the binfmt_misc fs, which in turn triggers the
autoload of the binfmt_misc module.  Without it, no module is loaded and
no binfmt is available at boot.

Building as built-in or manually loading the module and mounting the fs
works fine, it's therefore only a matter of interaction with user-space.
I could try to improve the Debian systemd configuration but I can't say
anything about the other distributions.

This patch restores a working system right after boot.

<title>fs: move fs stat sysctls to file_table.c</title>

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

We can create the sysctl dynamically on early init for fs stat to help
with this clutter.  This dusts off the fs stat syctls knobs and puts
them into where they are declared.

<title>epoll: take epitem list out of struct file</title>
<updated>2020-10-26T00:02:08+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:319c15174757aaedacc89a6e55c965416f130e64</id>
<content type='text'>
Move the head of epitem list out of struct file; for epoll ones it's
moved into struct eventpoll (-&gt;refs there), for non-epoll - into
the new object (struct epitem_head).  In place of -&gt;f_ep_links we
leave a pointer to the list head (-&gt;f_ep).

-&gt;f_ep is protected by -&gt;f_lock and it's zeroed as soon as the list
of epitems becomes empty (that can happen only in ep_remove() by
now).

The list of files for reverse path check is *not* going through
struct file now - it's a single-linked list going through epitem_head
instances.  It's terminated by ERR_PTR(-1) (== EP_UNACTIVE_POINTER),
so the elements of list can be distinguished by head-&gt;next != NULL.

epitem_head instances are allocated at ep_insert() time (by
attach_epitem()) and freed either by ep_remove() (if it empties
the set of epitems *and* epitem_head does not belong to the
reverse path check list) or by clear_tfile_check_list() when
the list is emptied (if the set of epitems is empty by that
point).  Allocations are done from a separate slab - minimal kmalloc()
size is too large on some architectures.

As the result, we trim struct file _and_ get rid of the games with
temporary file references.

Locking and barriers are interesting (aren't they always); see unlist_file()
and ep_remove() for details.  The non-obvious part is that ep_remove() needs
to decide if it will be the one to free the damn thing *before* actually
storing NULL to head-&gt;epitems.first - that's what smp_load_acquire is for
in there.  unlist_file() lockless path is safe, since we hit it only if
we observe NULL in head-&gt;epitems.first and whoever had done that store is
guaranteed to have observed non-NULL in head-&gt;next.  IOW, their last access
had been the store of NULL into -&gt;epitems.first and we can safely free
the sucker.  OTOH, we are under rcu_read_lock() and both epitem and
epitem-&gt;file have their freeing RCU-delayed.  So if we see non-NULL
-&gt;epitems.first, we can grab -&gt;f_lock (all epitems in there share the
same struct file) and safely recheck the emptiness of -&gt;epitems; again,
-&gt;next is still non-NULL, so ep_remove() couldn't have freed head yet.
-&gt;f_lock serializes us wrt ep_remove(); the rest is trivial.

Note that once head-&gt;epitems becomes NULL, nothing can get inserted into
it - the only remaining reference to head after that point is from the
reverse path check list.

<id>urn:sha1:91989c707884ecc7cd537281ab1a4b8fb7219da3</id>
<content type='text'>
A previous commit changed the notification mode from true/false to an
int, allowing notify-no, notify-yes, or signal-notify. This was
backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.

Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification
mode. Now we have:

- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
  notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
  that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the
  notification.

Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the
appropriate TWA_* mode for notifications.

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit e9c15badbb7b ("fs: Do not check if there is a
fsnotify watcher on pseudo inodes"). The commit intended to eliminate
fsnotify-related overhead for pseudo inodes but it is broken in
concept. inotify can receive events of pipe files under /proc/X/fd and
chromium relies on close and open events for sandboxing. Maxim Levitsky
reported the following

  Chromium starts as a white rectangle, shows few white rectangles that
  resemble its notifications and then crashes.

  The stdout output from chromium:

  [mlevitsk@starship ~]$chromium-freeworld
  mesa: for the   --simplifycfg-sink-common option: may only occur zero or one times!
  mesa: for the   --global-isel-abort option: may only occur zero or one times!

  Received signal 11 SEGV_MAPERR 0000004a9048

Crashes are not universal but even if chromium does not crash, it certainly
does not work properly. While filtering just modify and access might be
safe, the benefit is not worth the risk hence the revert.
