Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: Return an error from xdr_buf_to_bvec() on overflow
xdr_buf_to_bvec() returns a slot count even when the caller's bvec
budget is exhausted partway through the xdr_buf. Callers feed that
count into iov_iter_bvec() and continue as if the conversion had
succeeded, silently sending or writing fewer bytes than the data
length declares. For an NFS WRITE the server reports the truncated
transfer to the client as full success.
The overflow represents an internal invariant violation: a higher
layer reserved a bvec budget too small for the xdr_buf it then
asked the encoder to convert. That is a server-side fault, not a
media I/O failure and not a malformed client argument.
Change xdr_buf_to_bvec() to return a signed int and have the
overflow label return -ESERVERFAULT. Update the three callers to
detect the negative return and fail the request: nfsd_vfs_write()
folds the error into host_err, which nfserrno() translates to
nfserr_serverfault for the WRITE reply; svc_udp_sendto() and
svc_tcp_sendmsg() propagate the error out of the send path.

[ Upstream commit e9be933959b581effd426f93b86654f5fbf0c574 ]
The crypto/krb5 library accepts data in scatterlist form, but
the GSS-API layer presents RPC payloads as struct xdr_buf.
Bridge that gap with a pair of helper functions:
xdr_buf_to_sg() - populate a caller-supplied scatterlist
array from a byte range
xdr_buf_to_sg_alloc() - populate a caller-supplied inline
scatterlist, chaining to a heap-
allocated overflow for large payloads
The inline array (typically stack-allocated at eight entries)
covers the common case of small RPCs with no heap allocation
on the encrypt/decrypt path. Only buffers spanning many pages
incur a kmalloc for the chained extension.
The segment-walking logic follows the same head, page array,
tail traversal as xdr_process_buf(), but populates a
scatterlist directly rather than invoking a per-segment
callback. sg_next() traversal makes the walker safe for
chained scatterlists. Once subsequent patches reroute all
per-message crypto operations through crypto/krb5,
xdr_process_buf() loses its last callers and is removed.

[ Upstream commit 42f5b80dda6b86e424054baf1475df686c403d5c ]
xdr_buf_to_bvec() writes a bio_vec into the caller's array before
testing whether that slot is in range, and the head branch performs
the store with no check at all. When the caller's budget is exactly
used up, the next store lands one element past the end of the array.
The overflow label returns count - 1, which masks the surplus store
but cannot undo it.
rq_bvec, the array passed by nfsd_vfs_write(), is allocated to
exactly rq_maxpages entries with no slack. The OOB store can land in
adjacent slab memory; the bv_len and bv_offset fields written there
are derived from client-supplied RPC payload sizes.
Move the in-range check ahead of the store in the head, page-loop,
and tail branches. With the check at the top of each sequence, count
is incremented only after a successful store, so the overflow label
can return count directly.

length declares. For an NFS WRITE the server reports the truncated
transfer to the client as full success.
The overflow represents an internal invariant violation: a higher
layer reserved a bvec budget too small for the xdr_buf it then
asked the encoder to convert. That is a server-side fault, not a
media I/O failure and not a malformed client argument.
Change xdr_buf_to_bvec() to return a signed int and have the
overflow label return -ESERVERFAULT. Update the three callers to
detect the negative return and fail the request: nfsd_vfs_write()
folds the error into host_err, which nfserrno() translates to
nfserr_serverfault for the WRITE reply; svc_udp_sendto() and
svc_tcp_sendmsg() propagate the error out of the send path.
