[ Upstream commit 34b09af4f54e6485e28f138ccad159611a240cc1 ]

If an NFSv2/v3 client breaks an NFSv4 client's delegation, it will hit a
NULL dereference in nfsd_breaker_owns_lease().

Easily reproduceable with for example

	mount -overs=4.2 server:/export /mnt/
	sleep 1h &lt;/mnt/file &amp;
	mount -overs=3 server:/export /mnt2/
	touch /mnt2/file

[ Upstream commit df60446cd1fb487becd1f36f4c0da9e0e523c0cf ]

If the rpc_pipefs is unmounted, then the rpc_pipe-&gt;dentry becomes NULL
and dereferencing the dentry-&gt;d_sb will trigger an oops.  The only
reason we're doing that is to determine the nfsd_net, which could
instead be passed in by the caller.  So do that instead.

We hold the cl_lock here, and that's enough to keep stateid's from going
away, but it's not enough to prevent the files they point to from going
away.  Take fi_lock and a reference and check for NULL, as we do in
other code.

We don't drop the reference on the nfsdfs filesystem with
mntput(nn-&gt;nfsd_mnt) until nfsd_exit_net(), but that won't be called
until the nfsd module's unloaded, and we can't unload the module as long
as there's a reference on nfsdfs.  So this prevents module unloading.

<title>nfsd: apply umask on fs without ACL support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:22cf8419f1319ff87ec759d0ebdff4cbafaee832</id>
<content type='text'>
The server is failing to apply the umask when creating new objects on
filesystems without ACL support.

To reproduce this, you need to use NFSv4.2 and a client and server
recent enough to support umask, and you need to export a filesystem that
lacks ACL support (for example, ext4 with the "noacl" mount option).

Filesystems with ACL support are expected to take care of the umask
themselves (usually by calling posix_acl_create).

For filesystems without ACL support, this is up to the caller of
vfs_create(), vfs_mknod(), or vfs_mkdir().

 "Highlights:

   - Keep nfsd clients from unnecessarily breaking their own
     delegations.

     Note this requires a small kthreadd addition. The result is Tejun
     Heo's suggestion (see link), and he was OK with this going through
     my tree.

   - Patch nfsd/clients/ to display filenames, and to fix byte-order
     when displaying stateid's.

   - fix a module loading/unloading bug, from Neil Brown.

   - A big series from Chuck Lever with RPC/RDMA and tracing
     improvements, and lay some groundwork for RPC-over-TLS"

This can only happen if there's a bug somewhere, so let's make it a WARN
not a printk.  Also, I think it's safest to ignore the corruption rather
than trying to fix it by removing a cache entry.

<title>mm/writeback: replace PF_LESS_THROTTLE with PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE</title>
<updated>2020-06-02T17:59:08+00:00</updated>

<name>NeilBrown</name>
<email>neilb@suse.de</email>
</author>
<published>2020-06-02T04:48:18+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=a37b0715ddf3007734c4e2424c14bc7efcdd1190'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a37b0715ddf3007734c4e2424c14bc7efcdd1190</id>
<content type='text'>
PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).

The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled.  The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.

This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics.  This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.

The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.

This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi.  This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.

In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.

This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.

So this patch
 - renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
 - removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
 - If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
   global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.

Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads.  This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks.  I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

I made every global per-network-namespace instead.  But perhaps doing
that to this slab was a step too far.

The kmem_cache_create call in our net init method also seems to be
responsible for this lockdep warning:
