2018-01-10kernel: make groups_sort calling a responsibility group_info allocatorsThiago Rafael Becker
commit bdcf0a423ea1c40bbb40e7ee483b50fc8aa3d758 upstream. In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of groups_sort, corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to permission denials for the client. This patch: - Make groups_sort globally visible. - Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info - Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171211151420.18655-1-thiago.becker@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Thiago Rafael Becker <thiago.becker@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Acked-by: "J.

2013-07-08svcrpc: fix failures to handle -1 uid'sJ. Bruce Fields
As of f025adf191924e3a75ce80e130afcd2485b53bb8 "sunrpc: Properly decode kuids and kgids in RPC_AUTH_UNIX credentials" any rpc containing a -1 (0xffff) uid or gid would fail with a badcred error.

2013-07-01net/sunrpc: xpt_auth_cache should be ignored when expired.NeilBrown
commit d202cce8963d9268ff355a386e20243e8332b308 sunrpc: never return expired entries in sunrpc_cache_lookup moved the 'entry is expired' test from cache_check to sunrpc_cache_lookup, so that it happened early and some races could safely be ignored. However the ip_map (in svcauth_unix.c) has a separate single-item cache which allows quick lookup without locking. An entry in this case would not be subject to the expiry test and so could be used well after it has expired. This is not normally a big problem because the first time it is used after it is expired an up-call will be scheduled to refresh the entry (if it hasn't been scheduled already) and the old entry will then be invalidated. So on the second attempt to use it after it has expired, ip_map_cached_get will discard it. However that is subtle and not ideal, so replace the "!cache_valid" test with "cache_is_expired". In doing this we drop the test on the "CACHE_VALID" bit. This is unnecessary as the bit is never cleared, and an entry will only be cached if the bit is set.

2013-02-15SUNRPC: rework cache upcall logicStanislav Kinsbursky
For most of SUNRPC caches (except NFS DNS cache) cache_detail->cache_upcall is redundant since all that it's implementations are doing is calling sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() with proper function address argument. Cache request function address is now stored on cache_detail structure and thus all the code can be simplified. Now, for those cache details, which doesn't have cache_upcall callback (the only one, which still has is nfs_dns_resolve_template) sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall will be called instead.

2013-02-13sunrpc: Properly encode kuids and kgids in auth.unix.gid rpc pipe upcalls.Eric W. Biederman
When a new rpc connection is established with an in-kernel server, the traffic passes through svc_process_common, and svc_set_client and down into svcauth_unix_set_client if it is of type RPC_AUTH_NULL or RPC_AUTH_UNIX. svcauth_unix_set_client then looks at the uid of the credential we have assigned to the incomming client and if we don't have the groups already cached makes an upcall to get a list of groups that the client can use. The upcall encodes send a rpc message to user space encoding the uid of the user whose groups we want to know. Encode the kuid of the user in the initial user namespace as nfs mounts can only happen today in the initial user namespace. When a reply to an upcall comes in convert interpret the uid and gid values from the rpc pipe as uids and gids in the initial user namespace and convert them into kuids and kgids before processing them further. When reading proc files listing the uid to gid list cache convert the kuids and kgids from into uids and gids the initial user namespace. As we are displaying server internal details it makes sense to display these values from the servers perspective. Cc: "J.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
