Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: Prevent client use-after-free during blocked-lock
reaping
A bare lock owner -- its only remaining reference a blocked lock on
nn->blocked_locks_lru -- holds a raw pointer to its nfs4_client but
no reference keeping the client alive. When the per-net laundromat
reaps such a lock, freeing the nbl drops the owner reference
held through flc_owner, and the final nfs4_put_stateowner()
takes the client's cl_lock. Because the laundromat detaches the
nbl first, __destroy_client() no longer finds it, so a concurrent
force_expire_client() can free the client before nfs4_put_stateowner()
runs, dereferencing cl_lock in freed memory.
Pin the client with cl_rpc_users before dropping
nn->blocked_locks_lock, and skip clients already expiring, whose
blocked locks __destroy_client() frees while holding an owner
reference. Take nn->client_lock outside nn->blocked_locks_lock.
Every other site holds nn->blocked_locks_lock as a leaf, acquiring
no further lock, so placing nn->client_lock outside it cannot form
a lock-order cycle.

[ Upstream commit 4683ca76b3b7e5808338491c6eb3c20e6b4894d5 ]
A delegation stateid holds only a bare pointer to its owning
nfs4_client and does not keep it alive. The client survives its
stateids only because __destroy_client() drains cl_delegations and
cl_revoked before free_client() runs.
nfs4_laundromat() breaks that invariant: it unhashes an
expired delegation from cl_delegations, drops deleg_lock, then
revoke_delegation() relinks it onto cl_revoked under cl_lock. In that
window the delegation is on neither list, so client_has_state() can
report no remaining state.
Every teardown path first requires cl_rpc_users to be zero, but
the laundromat holds no such reference. A client whose recalled
delegation has just timed out can therefore reach free_client()
while revoke_delegation() is still about to dereference cl_lock,
a use-after-free.
Pin the client with cl_rpc_users across the revoke so teardown blocks
until it completes, then reap the delegation from cl_revoked. A client
already expiring reaps its own, so skip it and leave the delegation on
del_recall_lru.

[ Upstream commit e270e5a0778e5bff852c8862ce9576ce70359393 ]
A stateid holds only a bare pointer to its nfs4_client; a stateid
reference does not pin it. The client survives only because
__destroy_client() drains its stateids before free_client() runs.
nfsd4_revoke_states() drops nn->client_lock across revoke_one_stid(),
which dereferences the client to revoke a stateid and read
clp->cl_minorversion. A teardown racing the dropped lock can free
the client first.
Pinning cl_rpc_users under client_lock blocks the DESTROY_CLIENTID and
EXCHANGE_ID teardown, which refuses while cl_rpc_users is non-zero.
force_expire_client() ignores it: once its wait for cl_rpc_users to
reach zero has passed, a later pin goes unnoticed.
Under client_lock, skip a client whose cl_time is already zero --
force_expire_client() clears it there before waiting -- otherwise pin
cl_rpc_users before dropping the lock. The walk then either sees the
expiry and skips, or pins in time for that wait to cover the revoke.

[ Upstream commit 3308cf3f11ed23c79f9f3f90b34bbbad3e3a6ea9 ]
The client use-after-free fixes in the state-revocation paths left
four open-coded copies of one idiom: drop a cl_rpc_users pin without
renewing the client's lease, waking force_expire_client() when the
last pin drops on a client it is tearing down. The accompanying "do
not renew" rationale was documented at only one of the four sites.
put_client_renew_locked() and put_client_renew() already carry the
same pin-drop logic, but they renew a non-expired client's lease and
so would resurrect the client whose state is being revoked. Factor
the common pin-drop into __put_client_locked(), parameterized by
whether to renew. The renew helpers pass true; the new
put_client_no_renew_locked() and put_client_no_renew() pass false and
carry the revocation paths, which must not revive the client they are
tearing down. No change in behavior.

A bare lock owner -- its only remaining reference a blocked lock on
nn->blocked_locks_lru -- holds a raw pointer to its nfs4_client but
no reference keeping the client alive. When the per-net laundromat
reaps such a lock, freeing the nbl drops the owner reference
held through flc_owner, and the final nfs4_put_stateowner()

nbl first, __destroy_client() no longer finds it, so a concurrent
force_expire_client() can free the client before nfs4_put_stateowner()
runs, dereferencing cl_lock in freed memory.
Pin the client with cl_rpc_users before dropping
nn->blocked_locks_lock, and skip clients already expiring, whose
blocked locks __destroy_client() frees while holding an owner
reference. Take nn->client_lock outside nn->blocked_locks_lock.
Every other site holds nn->blocked_locks_lock as a leaf, acquiring
no further lock, so placing nn->client_lock outside it cannot form
a lock-order cycle.

From: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 3308cf3f11ed23c79f9f3f90b34bbbad3e3a6ea9 ]
The client use-after-free fixes in the state-revocation paths left
four open-coded copies of one idiom: drop a cl_rpc_users pin without
renewing the client's lease, waking force_expire_client() when the
last pin drops on a client it is tearing down. The accompanying "do
not renew" rationale was documented at only one of the four sites.
put_client_renew_locked() and put_client_renew() already carry the
same pin-drop logic, but they renew a non-expired client's lease and
so would resurrect the client whose state is being revoked. Factor
the common pin-drop into __put_client_locked(), parameterized by
whether to renew. The renew helpers pass true; the new
put_client_no_renew_locked() and put_client_no_renew() pass false and
carry the revocation paths, which must not revive the client they are
tearing down. No change in behavior.
