[ Upstream commit cf778b00e96df6d64f8e21b8395d1f8a859ecdc7 ]

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

<title>svcrpc: avoid memory-corruption on pool shutdown</title>

commit b4f36f88b3ee7cf26bf0be84e6c7fc15f84dcb71 upstream.

Socket callbacks use svc_xprt_enqueue() to add an xprt to a
pool-&gt;sp_sockets list.  In normal operation a server thread will later
come along and take the xprt off that list.  On shutdown, after all the
threads have exited, we instead manually walk the sv_tempsocks and
sv_permsocks lists to find all the xprt's and delete them.

So the sp_sockets lists don't really matter any more.  As a result,
we've mostly just ignored them and hoped they would go away.

Which has gotten us into trouble; witness for example ebc63e531cc6
"svcrpc: fix list-corrupting race on nfsd shutdown", the result of Ben
Greear noticing that a still-running svc_xprt_enqueue() could re-add an
xprt to an sp_sockets list just before it was deleted.  The fix was to
remove it from the list at the end of svc_delete_xprt().  But that only
made corruption less likely--I can see nothing that prevents a
svc_xprt_enqueue() from adding another xprt to the list at the same
moment that we're removing this xprt from the list.  In fact, despite
the earlier xpo_detach(), I don't even see what guarantees that
svc_xprt_enqueue() couldn't still be running on this xprt.

So, instead, note that svc_xprt_enqueue() essentially does:
	lock sp_lock
		if XPT_BUSY unset
			add to sp_sockets
	unlock sp_lock

So, if we do:

	set XPT_BUSY on every xprt.
	Empty every sp_sockets list, under the sp_socks locks.

Then we're left knowing that the sp_sockets lists are all empty and will
stay that way, since any svc_xprt_enqueue() will check XPT_BUSY under
the sp_lock and see it set.

And *then* we can continue deleting the xprt's.

(Thanks to Jeff Layton for being correctly suspicious of this code....)

commit 2fefb8a09e7ed251ae8996e0c69066e74c5aa560 upstream.

There's no reason I can see that we need to call sv_shutdown between
closing the two lists of sockets.

<title>svcrpc: fix double-free on shutdown of nfsd after changing pool mode</title>

commit 61c8504c428edcebf23b97775a129c5b393a302b upstream.

The pool_to and to_pool fields of the global svc_pool_map are freed on
shutdown, but are initialized in nfsd startup only in the
SVC_POOL_PERCPU and SVC_POOL_PERNODE cases.

They *are* initialized to zero on kernel startup.  So as long as you use
only SVC_POOL_GLOBAL (the default), this will never be a problem.

You're also OK if you only ever use SVC_POOL_PERCPU or SVC_POOL_PERNODE.

However, the following sequence events leads to a double-free:

	1. set SVC_POOL_PERCPU or SVC_POOL_PERNODE
	2. start nfsd: both fields are initialized.
	3. shutdown nfsd: both fields are freed.
	4. set SVC_POOL_GLOBAL
	5. start nfsd: the fields are left untouched.
	6. shutdown nfsd: now we try to free them again.

Step 4 is actually unnecessary, since (for some bizarre reason), nfsd
automatically resets the pool mode to SVC_POOL_GLOBAL on shutdown.

commit bf118a342f10dafe44b14451a1392c3254629a1f upstream.

The NFSv4 bitmap size is unbounded: a server can return an arbitrary
sized bitmap in an FATTR4_WORD0_ACL request.  Replace using the
nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz as a guess to the maximum bitmask returned by a server
with the inclusion of the bitmap (xdr length plus bitmasks) and the acl data
xdr length to the (cached) acl page data.

This is a general solution to commit e5012d1f "NFSv4.1: update
nfs4_fattr_bitmap_maxsz" and fixes hitting a BUG_ON in xdr_shrink_bufhead
when getting ACLs.

Fix a bug in decode_getacl that returned -EINVAL on ACLs &gt; page when getxattr
was called with a NULL buffer, preventing ACL &gt; PAGE_SIZE from being retrieved.

<title>SUNRPC: Ensure we return EAGAIN in xs_nospace if congestion is cleared</title>

By returning '0' instead of 'EAGAIN' when the tests in xs_nospace() fail
to find evidence of socket congestion, we are making the RPC engine believe
that the message was incorrectly sent and so it disconnects the socket
instead of just retrying.

The bug appears to have been introduced by commit
5e3771ce2d6a69e10fcc870cdf226d121d868491 (SUNRPC: Ensure that xs_nospace
return values are propagated).
