commit e973b1a5999e57da677ab50da5f5479fdc0f0c31 upstream.

Since commit 18290650b1c8 ("NFS: Move buffered I/O locking into
nfs_file_write()") nfs_file_write() has not flushed the correct byte
range during synchronous writes.  generic_write_sync() expects that
iocb-&gt;ki_pos points to the right edge of the range rather than the
left edge.

To replicate the problem, open a file with O_DSYNC, have the client
write at increasing offsets, and then print the successful offsets.
Block port 2049 partway through that sequence, and observe that the
client application indicates successful writes in advance of what the
server received.

<title>NFS: invalidate file size when taking a lock.</title>

commit 442ce0499c0535f8972b68fa1fda357357a5c953 upstream.

Prior to commit ca0daa277aca ("NFS: Cache aggressively when file is open
for writing"), NFS would revalidate, or invalidate, the file size when
taking a lock.  Since that commit it only invalidates the file content.

If the file size is changed on the server while wait for the lock, the
client will have an incorrect understanding of the file size and could
corrupt data.  This particularly happens when writing beyond the
(supposed) end of file and can be easily be demonstrated with
posix_fallocate().

If an application opens an empty file, waits for a write lock, and then
calls posix_fallocate(), glibc will determine that the underlying
filesystem doesn't support fallocate (assuming version 4.1 or earlier)
and will write out a '0' byte at the end of each 4K page in the region
being fallocated that is after the end of the file.
NFS will (usually) detect that these writes are beyond EOF and will
expand them to cover the whole page, and then will merge the pages.
Consequently, NFS will write out large blocks of zeroes beyond where it
thought EOF was.  If EOF had moved, the pre-existing part of the file
will be over-written.  Locking should have protected against this,
but it doesn't.

This patch restores the use of nfs_zap_caches() which invalidated the
cached attributes.  When posix_fallocate() asks for the file size, the
request will go to the server and get a correct answer.

commit c0cf3ef5e0f47e385920450b245d22bead93e7ad upstream.

What matters when deciding if we should make a page uptodate is
not how much we _wanted_ to copy, but how much we actually have
copied.  As it is, on architectures that do not zero tail on
short copy we can leave uninitialized data in page marked uptodate.

<title>sunrpc: move NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT to the auth-&gt;au_flags</title>
<updated>2016-07-19T20:23:24+00:00</updated>

<published>2016-06-07T19:14:48+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=ce52914eb76efd62aa48d738cf845b37852bf920'/>
<id>ce52914eb76efd62aa48d738cf845b37852bf920</id>
<content type='text'>
A generic_cred can be used to look up a unx_cred or a gss_cred, so it's
not really safe to use the the generic_cred-&gt;acred-&gt;ac_flags to store
the NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT flag.  A lookup for a unx_cred triggered while the
KEY_EXPIRE_SOON flag is already set will cause both NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT and
KEY_EXPIRE_SOON to be set in the ac_flags, leaving the user associated
with the auth_cred to be in a state where they're perpetually doing 4K
NFS_FILE_SYNC writes.

This can be reproduced as follows:

1. Mount two NFS filesystems, one with sec=krb5 and one with sec=sys.
They do not need to be the same export, nor do they even need to be from
the same NFS server.  Also, v3 is fine.
$ sudo mount -o v3,sec=krb5 server1:/export /mnt/krb5
$ sudo mount -o v3,sec=sys server2:/export /mnt/sys

2. As the normal user, before accessing the kerberized mount, kinit with
a short lifetime (but not so short that renewing the ticket would leave
you within the 4-minute window again by the time the original ticket
expires), e.g.
$ kinit -l 10m -r 60m

3. Do some I/O to the kerberized mount and verify that the writes are
wsize, UNSTABLE:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/krb5/file bs=1M count=1

4. Wait until you're within 4 minutes of key expiry, then do some more
I/O to the kerberized mount to ensure that RPC_CRED_KEY_EXPIRE_SOON gets
set.  Verify that the writes are 4K, FILE_SYNC:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/krb5/file bs=1M count=1

5. Now do some I/O to the sec=sys mount.  This will cause
RPC_CRED_NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT to be set:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sys/file bs=1M count=1

6. Writes for that user will now be permanently 4K, FILE_SYNC for that
user, regardless of which mount is being written to, until you reboot
the client.  Renewing the kerberos ticket (assuming it hasn't already
expired) will have no effect.  Grabbing a new kerberos ticket at this
point will have no effect either.

Move the flag to the auth-&gt;au_flags field (which is currently unused)
and rename it slightly to reflect that it's no longer associated with
the auth_cred-&gt;ac_flags.  Add the rpc_auth to the arg list of
rpcauth_cred_key_to_expire and check the au_flags there too.  Finally,
add the inode to the arg list of nfs_ctx_key_to_expire so we can
determine the rpc_auth to pass to rpcauth_cred_key_to_expire.

A generic_cred can be used to look up a unx_cred or a gss_cred, so it's
not really safe to use the the generic_cred-&gt;acred-&gt;ac_flags to store
the NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT flag.  A lookup for a unx_cred triggered while the
KEY_EXPIRE_SOON flag is already set will cause both NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT and
KEY_EXPIRE_SOON to be set in the ac_flags, leaving the user associated
with the auth_cred to be in a state where they're perpetually doing 4K
NFS_FILE_SYNC writes.

This can be reproduced as follows:

1. Mount two NFS filesystems, one with sec=krb5 and one with sec=sys.
They do not need to be the same export, nor do they even need to be from
the same NFS server.  Also, v3 is fine.
$ sudo mount -o v3,sec=krb5 server1:/export /mnt/krb5
$ sudo mount -o v3,sec=sys server2:/export /mnt/sys

2. As the normal user, before accessing the kerberized mount, kinit with
a short lifetime (but not so short that renewing the ticket would leave
you within the 4-minute window again by the time the original ticket
expires), e.g.
$ kinit -l 10m -r 60m

3. Do some I/O to the kerberized mount and verify that the writes are
wsize, UNSTABLE:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/krb5/file bs=1M count=1

4. Wait until you're within 4 minutes of key expiry, then do some more
I/O to the kerberized mount to ensure that RPC_CRED_KEY_EXPIRE_SOON gets
set.  Verify that the writes are 4K, FILE_SYNC:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/krb5/file bs=1M count=1

5. Now do some I/O to the sec=sys mount.  This will cause
RPC_CRED_NO_CRKEY_TIMEOUT to be set:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sys/file bs=1M count=1

6. Writes for that user will now be permanently 4K, FILE_SYNC for that
user, regardless of which mount is being written to, until you reboot
the client.  Renewing the kerberos ticket (assuming it hasn't already
expired) will have no effect.  Grabbing a new kerberos ticket at this
