This fixes CVE-2017-7482.

When a kerberos 5 ticket is being decoded so that it can be loaded into an
rxrpc-type key, there are several places in which the length of a
variable-length field is checked to make sure that it's not going to
overrun the available data - but the data is padded to the nearest
four-byte boundary and the code doesn't check for this extra.  This could
lead to the size-remaining variable wrapping and the data pointer going
over the end of the buffer.

Fix this by making the various variable-length data checks use the padded
length.

<title>rxrpc: Trace protocol errors in received packets</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a tracepoint (rxrpc_rx_proto) to record protocol errors in received
packets.  The following changes are made:

 (1) Add a function, __rxrpc_abort_eproto(), to note a protocol error on a
     call and mark the call aborted.  This is wrapped by
     rxrpc_abort_eproto() that makes the why string usable in trace.

 (2) Add trace_rxrpc_rx_proto() or rxrpc_abort_eproto() to protocol error
     generation points, replacing rxrpc_abort_call() with the latter.

 (3) Only send an abort packet in rxkad_verify_packet*() if we actually
     managed to abort the call.

Note that a trace event is also emitted if a kernel user (e.g. afs) tries
to send data through a call when it's not in the transmission phase, though
it's not technically a receive event.

In the rxkad security module, when we encounter a temporary error (such as
ENOMEM) from which we could conceivably recover, don't abort the
connection, but rather permit retransmission of the relevant packets to
induce a retry.

Note that I'm leaving some places that could be merged together to insert
tracing in the next patch.

Make rxrpc_kernel_abort_call() return an indication as to whether it
actually aborted the operation or not so that kafs can trace the failure of
the operation.  Note that 'success' in this context means changing the
state of the call, not necessarily successfully transmitting an ABORT
packet.

Use negative error codes in struct rxrpc_call::error because that's what
the kernel normally deals with and to make the code consistent.  We only
turn them positive when transcribing into a cmsg for userspace recvmsg.

<title>rxrpc: Ignore BUSY packets on old calls</title>

<name>David Howells</name>

<id>4d4a6ac73e7466c2085c307fac41f74ce4568a45</id>
<content type='text'>
If we receive a BUSY packet for a call we think we've just completed, the
packet is handed off to the connection processor to deal with - but the
connection processor doesn't expect a BUSY packet and so flags a protocol
error.

Fix this by simply ignoring the BUSY packet for the moment.

The symptom of this may appear as a system call failing with EPROTO.  This
may be triggered by pressing ctrl-C under some circumstances.

This comes about we abort calls due to interruption by a signal (which we
shouldn't do, but that's going to be a large fix and mostly in fs/afs/).
What happens is that we abort the call and may also abort follow up calls
too (this needs offloading somehoe).  So we see a transmission of something
like the following sequence of packets:

	DATA for call N
	ABORT call N
	DATA for call N+1
	ABORT call N+1

in very quick succession on the same channel.  However, the peer may have
deferred the processing of the ABORT from the call N to a background thread
and thus sees the DATA message from the call N+1 coming in before it has
cleared the channel.  Thus it sends a BUSY packet[*].

[*] Note that some implementations (OpenAFS, for example) mark the BUSY
    packet with one plus the callNumber of the call prior to call N.
    Ordinarily, this would be call N, but there's no requirement for the
    calls on a channel to be numbered strictly sequentially (the number is
    required to increase).

    This is wrong and means that the callNumber in the BUSY packet should
    be ignored (it really ought to be N+1 since that's what it's in
    response to).

<title>rxrpc: Wake up the transmitter if Rx window size increases on the peer</title>

<id>702f2ac87a9a8da23bf8506466bc70175fc970b2</id>
<content type='text'>
The RxRPC ACK packet may contain an extension that includes the peer's
current Rx window size for this call.  We adjust the local Tx window size
to match.  However, the transmitter can stall if the receive window is
reduced to 0 by the peer and then reopened.

This is because the normal way that the transmitter is re-energised is by
dropping something out of our Tx queue and thus making space.  When a
single gap is made, the transmitter is woken up.  However, because there's
nothing in the Tx queue at this point, this doesn't happen.

To fix this, perform a wake_up() any time we see the peer's Rx window size
increasing.

The observable symptom is that calls start failing on ETIMEDOUT and the
following:

	kAFS: SERVER DEAD state=-62

appears in dmesg.
