commit 55efcfcd7776165b294f8b5cd6e05ca00ec89b7c upstream.

The RDMA core uses ib_pack() to convert from unpacked CPU structs
to on-the-wire bitpacked structs.

This process requires that 1 bit fields are declared as u8 in the
unpacked struct, otherwise the packing process does not read the
value properly and the packed result is wired to 0. Several
places wrongly used int.

Crucially this means the kernel has never, set reversible
correctly in the path record request. It has always asked for
irreversible paths even if the ULP requests otherwise.

When the kernel is used with a SM that supports this feature, it
completely breaks communication management if reversible paths are
not properly requested.

The only reason this ever worked is because opensm ignores the
reversible bit.

Code that dereferences the struct net_device ip_ptr member must be

<title>IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface</title>

commit e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3 upstream.

The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for
bi-directional ioctl().  This is not safe. There are ways to
trigger write calls that result in the return structure that
is normally written to user space being shunted off to user
specified kernel memory instead.

For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to
the write API.

For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API
to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities
(likely a structured ioctl() interface).

The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if
hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.

<title>IB/mad: Require CM send method for everything except ClassPortInfo</title>

<content type='text'>
Receipt of CM MAD with other than the Send method for an attribute
other than the ClassPortInfo attribute is invalid.

CM attributes other than ClassPortInfo only use the send method.

The SRP initiator does not maintain a timeout policy for CM connect
requests relies on the CM layer to do that. The result was that
the SRP initiator hung as the connect request never completed.

A new SRP target has been observed to respond to Send CM REQ
with GetResp of CM REQ with bad status. This is non conformant
with IBA spec but exposes a vulnerability in the current MAD/CM
code which will respond to the incoming GetResp of CM REQ as if
it was a valid incoming Send of CM REQ rather than tossing
this on the floor. It also causes the MAD layer not to
retransmit the original REQ even though it has not received a REP.

<title>IB/core: use RCU for uverbs id lookup</title>

The current implementation gets a spin_lock, and at any scale with
qib and hfi1 post send, the lock contention grows exponentially
with the number of QPs.

idr_find() is RCU compatibile, so read doesn't need the lock.

Change to use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() in
__idr_get_uobj().

kfree_rcu() is used to insure a grace period between the
idr removal and actual free.

This avoids that sparse reports error messages like the following:

The new fast registration  verb ib_map_mr_sg receives a scatterlist
and converts it to a page list under the verbs API thus hiding
the specific HW mapping details away from the consumer.

The provider drivers are provided with a generic helper ib_sg_to_pages
that converts a scatterlist into a vector of page addresses. The
drivers can still perform any HW specific page address setting
by passing a set_page function pointer which will be invoked for
each page address. This allows drivers to avoid keeping a shadow
page vectors and convert them to HW specific translations by doing
extra copies.

This API will allow ULPs to remove the duplicated code of constructing
a page vector from a given sg list.

The send work request ib_reg_wr also shrinks as it will contain only
mr, key and access flags in addition.

<title>IB/cma: Add support for network namespaces</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for network namespaces in the ib_cma module. This is
accomplished by:

1. Adding network namespace parameter for rdma_create_id. This parameter is
   used to populate the network namespace field in rdma_id_private.
   rdma_create_id keeps a reference on the network namespace.
2. Using the network namespace from the rdma_id instead of init_net inside
   of ib_cma, when listening on an ID and when looking for an ID for an
   incoming request.
3. Decrementing the reference count for the appropriate network namespace
   when calling rdma_destroy_id.

In order to preserve the current behavior init_net is passed when calling
from other modules.
