<title>SUNRPC: call xs_sock_process_cmsg for all cmsg</title>

xs_sock_recv_cmsg was failing to call xs_sock_process_cmsg for any cmsg
type other than TLS_RECORD_TYPE_ALERT (TLS_RECORD_TYPE_DATA, and other
values not handled.) Based on my reading of the previous commit
(cc5d5908: sunrpc: fix client side handling of tls alerts), it looks
like only iov_iter_revert should be conditional on TLS_RECORD_TYPE_ALERT
(but that other cmsg types should still call xs_sock_process_cmsg). On
my machine, I was unable to connect (over mtls) to an NFS share hosted
on FreeBSD. With this patch applied, I am able to mount the share again.

This reverts commit 14e41b16e8cb677bb440dca2edba8b041646c742.

This patch breaks the LTP acct02 test, so let's revert and look for a
better solution.

Scott Mayhew discovered a security exploit in NFS over TLS in
tls_alert_recv() due to its assumption it can read data from
the msg iterator's kvec..

kTLS implementation splits TLS non-data record payload between
the control message buffer (which includes the type such as TLS
aler or TLS cipher change) and the rest of the payload (say TLS
alert's level/description) which goes into the msg payload buffer.

This patch proposes to rework how control messages are setup and
used by sock_recvmsg().

If no control message structure is setup, kTLS layer will read and
process TLS data record types. As soon as it encounters a TLS control
message, it would return an error. At that point, NFS can setup a
kvec backed msg buffer and read in the control message such as a
TLS alert. Msg iterator can advance the kvec pointer as a part of
the copy process thus we need to revert the iterator before calling
into the tls_alert_recv.

A security exploit was discovered in NFS over TLS in tls_alert_recv

Instead, this patch proposes the rework how control messages are

If no control message structure is setup, kTLS layer will read and

Pull dentry d_flags updates from Al Viro:
 "The current exclusion rules for dentry-&gt;d_flags stores are rather
  unpleasant. The basic rules are simple:

   - stores to dentry-&gt;d_flags are OK under dentry-&gt;d_lock

   - stores to dentry-&gt;d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
     becomes potentially visible to other threads

  Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's
  where the headache comes from.

  The main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets -&gt;d_op of
  dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
  methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
  of correctness is brittle.

  Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might
  as well precalculate the initial value of 'd_flags' when we set the
  default -&gt;d_op for given superblock and set 'd_flags' directly instead
  of messing with that helper.

  The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not
  going to reproduce it here. See [1] for gory details, if you care. The
  critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to
  d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with
  setting -&gt;d_op, etc a natural replacement primitive.

  Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting -&gt;d_op and
  modifying 'd_flags' under -&gt;d_lock, which eliminates the headache as
  far as 'd_flags' exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are
  minor and easy to deal with.

  What this series does:

   - d_set_d_op() is no longer available; instead a new primitive
     (d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of
     d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().

   - new field of struct super_block - 's_d_flags'. This sets the
     default value of 'd_flags' to be used when allocating dentries on
     this filesystem.

   - new primitive for setting 's_d_op': set_default_d_op(). This
     replaces stores to 's_d_op' at mount time.

     All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught
     by the compiler ('s_d_op' is renamed, so stores to it will be
     caught). 's_d_flags' is set by the same primitive to match the
     's_d_op'.

   - a lot of filesystems had sb-&gt;s_d_op-&gt;d_delete equal to
     always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting
     DCACHE_DONTCACHE in 'd_flags', so such filesystems can bloody well
     set that bit in 's_d_flags' and drop 'd_delete()' from
     dentry_operations.

     In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which
     means that we can get rid of those.

   - kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore

   - massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt
     'd_flags' stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we
     allocate the new dentry; no need to delay that until we commit to
     using the sucker.

  As the result, 'd_flags' stores are all either under -&gt;d_lock or done
  before the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures"

Pull dentry d_flags updates from Al Viro:
 "The current exclusion rules for dentry-&gt;d_flags stores are rather
  unpleasant. The basic rules are simple:

   - stores to dentry-&gt;d_flags are OK under dentry-&gt;d_lock

   - stores to dentry-&gt;d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
     becomes potentially visible to other threads

  Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's
  where the headache comes from.

  The main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets -&gt;d_op of
  dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
  methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
  of correctness is brittle.

  Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might
  as well precalculate the initial value of 'd_flags' when we set the
  default -&gt;d_op for given superblock and set 'd_flags' directly instead
  of messing with that helper.

  The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not
  going to reproduce it here. See [1] for gory details, if you care. The
  critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to
  d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with
  setting -&gt;d_op, etc a natural replacement primitive.

  Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting -&gt;d_op and
  modifying 'd_flags' under -&gt;d_lock, which eliminates the headache as
  far as 'd_flags' exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are
  minor and easy to deal with.

  What this series does:

   - d_set_d_op() is no longer available; instead a new primitive
     (d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of
     d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().

   - new field of struct super_block - 's_d_flags'. This sets the
     default value of 'd_flags' to be used when allocating dentries on
     this filesystem.

   - new primitive for setting 's_d_op': set_default_d_op(). This
     replaces stores to 's_d_op' at mount time.

     All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught
     by the compiler ('s_d_op' is renamed, so stores to it will be
     caught). 's_d_flags' is set by the same primitive to match the
     's_d_op'.

   - a lot of filesystems had sb-&gt;s_d_op-&gt;d_delete equal to
     always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting
     DCACHE_DONTCACHE in 'd_flags', so such filesystems can bloody well
     set that bit in 's_d_flags' and drop 'd_delete()' from
     dentry_operations.

     In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which
     means that we can get rid of those.

   - massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt

Remove a bunch of unused xdr_*decode* functions:
  The last use of xdr_decode_netobj() was removed in 2021 by:
commit 7cf96b6d0104 ("lockd: Update the NLMv4 SHARE arguments decoder to
use struct xdr_stream")
  The last use of xdr_decode_string_inplace() was removed in 2021 by:
commit 3049e974a7c7 ("lockd: Update the NLMv4 FREE_ALL arguments decoder
to use struct xdr_stream")
  The last use of xdr_stream_decode_opaque() was removed in 2024 by:
commit fed8a17c61ff ("xdrgen: typedefs should use the built-in string and
opaque functions")

  The functions xdr_stream_decode_string() and
xdr_stream_decode_opaque_dup() were both added in 2018 by the
commit 0e779aa70308 ("SUNRPC: Add helpers for decoding opaque and string
types")
but never used.

Remove them.
