commit 961ebd120565cb60cebe21cb634fbc456022db4a upstream.

The first kiocb_set_cancel_fn() argument may point at a struct kiocb
that is not embedded inside struct aio_kiocb. With the current code,
depending on the compiler, the req-&gt;ki_ctx read happens either before
the IOCB_AIO_RW test or after that test. Move the req-&gt;ki_ctx read such
that it is guaranteed that the IOCB_AIO_RW test happens first.

commit b820de741ae48ccf50dd95e297889c286ff4f760 upstream.

If kiocb_set_cancel_fn() is called for I/O submitted via io_uring, the
following kernel warning appears:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 368 at fs/aio.c:598 kiocb_set_cancel_fn+0x9c/0xa8

Fix this by setting the IOCB_AIO_RW flag for read and write I/O that is
submitted by libaio.

commit 50252e4b5e989ce64555c7aef7516bdefc2fea72 upstream.

signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() are special in that they use a
waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct
file as is normally the case.  This is okay for blocking polls, since a
blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls
require another solution.  This solution is for the queue to be cleared
before it is freed, by sending a POLLFREE notification to all waiters.

Unfortunately, only eventpoll handles POLLFREE.  A second type of
non-blocking poll, aio poll, was added in kernel v4.18, and it doesn't
handle POLLFREE.  This allows a use-after-free to occur if a signalfd or
binder fd is polled with aio poll, and the waitqueue gets freed.

Fix this by making aio poll handle POLLFREE.

A patch by Ramji Jiyani &lt;ramjiyani@google.com&gt;
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211027011834.2497484-1-ramjiyani@google.com)
tried to do this by making aio_poll_wake() always complete the request
inline if POLLFREE is seen.  However, that solution had two bugs.
First, it introduced a deadlock, as it unconditionally locked the aio
context while holding the waitqueue lock, which inverts the normal
locking order.  Second, it didn't consider that POLLFREE notifications
are missed while the request has been temporarily de-queued.

The second problem was solved by my previous patch.  This patch then
properly fixes the use-after-free by handling POLLFREE in a
deadlock-free way.  It does this by taking advantage of the fact that
freeing of the waitqueue is RCU-delayed, similar to what eventpoll does.

<title>aio: keep poll requests on waitqueue until completed</title>

commit 363bee27e25804d8981dd1c025b4ad49dc39c530 upstream.

Currently, aio_poll_wake() will always remove the poll request from the
waitqueue.  Then, if aio_poll_complete_work() sees that none of the
polled events are ready and the request isn't cancelled, it re-adds the
request to the waitqueue.  (This can easily happen when polling a file
that doesn't pass an event mask when waking up its waitqueue.)

This is fundamentally broken for two reasons:

  1. If a wakeup occurs between vfs_poll() and the request being
     re-added to the waitqueue, it will be missed because the request
     wasn't on the waitqueue at the time.  Therefore, IOCB_CMD_POLL
     might never complete even if the polled file is ready.

  2. When the request isn't on the waitqueue, there is no way to be
     notified that the waitqueue is being freed (which happens when its
     lifetime is shorter than the struct file's).  This is supposed to
     happen via the waitqueue entries being woken up with POLLFREE.

Therefore, leave the requests on the waitqueue until they are actually
completed (or cancelled).  To keep track of when aio_poll_complete_work
needs to be scheduled, use new fields in struct poll_iocb.  Remove the
'done' field which is now redundant.

Note that this is consistent with how sys_poll() and eventpoll work;
their wakeup functions do *not* remove the waitqueue entries.

commit 530f32fc370fd1431ea9802dbc53ab5601dfccdb upstream.

Avi Kivity reports that on fuse filesystems running in a user namespace
asyncronous fsync fails with EOVERFLOW.

The reason is that f_ops-&gt;fsync() is called with the creds of the kthread
performing aio work instead of the creds of the process originally
submitting IOCB_CMD_FSYNC.

Fuse sends the creds of the caller in the request header and it needs to
translate the uid and gid into the server's user namespace.  Since the
kthread is running in init_user_ns, the translation will fail and the
operation returns an error.

It can be argued that fsync doesn't actually need any creds, but just
zeroing out those fields in the header (as with requests that currently
don't take creds) is a backward compatibility risk.

Instead of working around this issue in fuse, solve the core of the problem
by calling the filesystem with the proper creds.

commit 01d7a356872eec22ef34a33a5f9cfa917d145468 upstream.

If we have nested or circular eventfd wakeups, then we can deadlock if
we run them inline from our poll waitqueue wakeup handler. It's also
possible to have very long chains of notifications, to the extent where
we could risk blowing the stack.

Check the eventfd recursion count before calling eventfd_signal(). If
it's non-zero, then punt the signaling to async context. This is always
safe, as it takes us out-of-line in terms of stack and locking context.

commit af5c72b1fc7a00aa484e90b0c4e0eeb582545634 upstream.

aio_poll() has to cope with several unpleasant problems:
	* requests that might stay around indefinitely need to
be made visible for io_cancel(2); that must not be done to
a request already completed, though.
	* in cases when -&gt;poll() has placed us on a waitqueue,
wakeup might have happened (and request completed) before -&gt;poll()
returns.
	* worse, in some early wakeup cases request might end
up re-added into the queue later - we can't treat "woken up and
currently not in the queue" as "it's not going to stick around
indefinitely"
	* ... moreover, -&gt;poll() might have decided not to
put it on any queues to start with, and that needs to be distinguished
from the previous case
	* -&gt;poll() might have tried to put us on more than one queue.
Only the first will succeed for aio poll, so we might end up missing
wakeups.  OTOH, we might very well notice that only after the
wakeup hits and request gets completed (all before -&gt;poll() gets
around to the second poll_wait()).  In that case it's too late to
decide that we have an error.

req-&gt;woken was an attempt to deal with that.  Unfortunately, it was
broken.  What we need to keep track of is not that wakeup has happened -
the thing might come back after that.  It's that async reference is
already gone and won't come back, so we can't (and needn't) put the
request on the list of cancellables.

The easiest case is "request hadn't been put on any waitqueues"; we
can tell by seeing NULL apt.head, and in that case there won't be
anything async.  We should either complete the request ourselves
(if vfs_poll() reports anything of interest) or return an error.

In all other cases we get exclusion with wakeups by grabbing the
queue lock.

If request is currently on queue and we have something interesting
from vfs_poll(), we can steal it and complete the request ourselves.

If it's on queue and vfs_poll() has not reported anything interesting,
we either put it on the cancellable list, or, if we know that it
hadn't been put on all queues -&gt;poll() wanted it on, we steal it and
return an error.

If it's _not_ on queue, it's either been already dealt with (in which
case we do nothing), or there's aio_poll_complete_work() about to be
executed.  In that case we either put it on the cancellable list,
or, if we know it hadn't been put on all queues -&gt;poll() wanted it on,
simulate what cancel would've done.

It's a lot more convoluted than I'd like it to be.  Single-consumer APIs
suck, and unfortunately aio is not an exception...
