On the node of an NFS client, some files saved in the mountpoint of the
NFS server were copied to another location of the same NFS server.
Accidentally, the nfs42_complete_copies() got a NULL-pointer dereference
crash with the following syslog:

Analysing the vmcore, we know that nfs4_copy_state listed by destination
nfs_server->ss_copies was added by the field copies in handle_async_copy(),
and we found a waiting copy process with the stack as:
PID: 3511963  TASK: ffff710028b47e00  CPU: 0   COMMAND: "cp"

 #9 [ffff8001116efc50] __nfs4_copy_file_range.constprop.0 at ffff8000054ed694 [nfsv4]

The NULL-pointer dereference was due to nfs42_complete_copies() listed
the nfs_server->ss_copies by the field ss_copies of nfs4_copy_state.
So the nfs4_copy_state address ffff0100f98fa3f0 was offset by 0x10 and
the data accessed through this pointer was also incorrect. Generally,
the ordered list nfs4_state_owner->so_states indicate open(O_RDWR) or
open(O_WRITE) states are reclaimed firstly by nfs4_reclaim_open_state().
When destination state reclaim is failed with NFS_STATE_RECOVERY_FAILED
and copies are not deleted in nfs_server->ss_copies, the source state
may be passed to the nfs42_complete_copies() process earlier, resulting
in this crash scene finally. To solve this issue, we add a list_head
nfs_server->ss_src_copies for a server-to-server copy specially.

This due to we have quiesced admi_q before cancel requests, but forgot
to unquiesce before destroy it, as a result we fail to drain the

try to reuse nvme_rdma_teardown_admin_queue() to fix this issue and
simplify the code.

Hou Tao says:

====================
This patch set fixes several issues for LPM trie. These issues were
found during adding new test cases or were reported by syzbot.

The patch set is structured as follows:

Patch #1~#2 are clean-ups for lpm_trie_update_elem().
Patch #3 handles BPF_EXIST and BPF_NOEXIST correctly for LPM trie.
Patch #4 fixes the accounting of n_entries when doing in-place update.
Patch #5 fixes the exact match condition in trie_get_next_key() and it
may skip keys when the passed key is not found in the map.
Patch #6~#7 switch from kmalloc() to bpf memory allocator for LPM trie
to fix several lock order warnings reported by syzbot. It also enables
raw_spinlock_t for LPM trie again. After these changes, the LPM trie will
be closer to being usable in any context (though the reentrance check of
trie->lock is still missing, but it is on my todo list).
Patch #8: move test_lpm_map to map_tests to make it run regularly.
Patch #9: add test cases for the issues fixed by patch #3~#5.

Please see individual patches for more details. Comments are always
welcome.

Change Log:
v3:
  * patch #2: remove the unnecessary NULL-init for im_node
  * patch #6: alloc the leaf node before disabling IRQ to low
    the possibility of -ENOMEM when leaf_size is large; Free
    these nodes outside the trie lock (Suggested by Alexei)
  * collect review and ack tags (Thanks for Toke & Daniel)

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/
  * collect review tags (Thanks for Toke)
  * drop "Add bpf_mem_cache_is_mergeable() helper" patch
  * patch #3~#4: add fix tag
  * patch #4: rename the helper to trie_check_add_elem() and increase
    n_entries in it.
  * patch #6: use one bpf mem allocator and update commit message to
    clarify that using bpf mem allocator is more appropriate.
  * patch #7: update commit message to add the possible max running time
    for update operation.
  * patch #9: update commit message to specify the purpose of these test
    cases.

Its used from trace__run(), for the 'perf trace' live mode, i.e. its
strace-like, non-perf.data file processing mode, the most common one.

The trace__run() function will set trace->host using machine__new_host()
that is supposed to give a machine instance representing the running
machine, and since we'll use perf_env__arch_strerrno() to get the right
errno -> string table, we need to use machine->env, so initialize it in
machine__new_host().

Before the patch:

…le_direct_reclaim()

The task sometimes continues looping in throttle_direct_reclaim() because
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) keeps returning false.

At this point, the pgdat contains the following two zones:

        NODE: 4  ZONE: 0  ADDR: ffff00817fffe540  NAME: "DMA32"

                   NR_ZSPAGES: 0
            NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES: 0

In allow_direct_reclaim(), while processing ZONE_DMA32, the sum of
inactive/active file-backed pages calculated in zone_reclaimable_pages()
based on the result of zone_page_state_snapshot() is zero.  

Additionally, since this system lacks swap, the calculation of inactive/
active anonymous pages is skipped.

        crash> p nr_swap_pages
        nr_swap_pages = $1937 = {
          counter = 0
        }

As a result, ZONE_DMA32 is deemed unreclaimable and skipped, moving on to
the processing of the next zone, ZONE_NORMAL, despite ZONE_DMA32 having
free pages significantly exceeding the high watermark.

The problem is that the pgdat->kswapd_failures hasn't been incremented.

        crash> px ((struct pglist_data *) 0xffff00817fffe540)->kswapd_failures
        $1935 = 0x0

This is because the node deemed balanced.  The node balancing logic in
balance_pgdat() evaluates all zones collectively.  If one or more zones
(e.g., ZONE_DMA32) have enough free pages to meet their watermarks, the
entire node is deemed balanced.  This causes balance_pgdat() to exit early
before incrementing the kswapd_failures, as it considers the overall
memory state acceptable, even though some zones (like ZONE_NORMAL) remain
under significant pressure.


The patch ensures that zone_reclaimable_pages() includes free pages
(NR_FREE_PAGES) in its calculation when no other reclaimable pages are
available (e.g., file-backed or anonymous pages).  This change prevents
zones like ZONE_DMA32, which have sufficient free pages, from being
mistakenly deemed unreclaimable.  By doing so, the patch ensures proper
node balancing, avoids masking pressure on other zones like ZONE_NORMAL,
and prevents infinite loops in throttle_direct_reclaim() caused by
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) repeatedly returning false.


The kernel hangs due to a task stuck in throttle_direct_reclaim(), caused
by a node being incorrectly deemed balanced despite pressure in certain
zones, such as ZONE_NORMAL.  This issue arises from
zone_reclaimable_pages() returning 0 for zones without reclaimable file-
backed or anonymous pages, causing zones like ZONE_DMA32 with sufficient
free pages to be skipped.

The lack of swap or reclaimable pages results in ZONE_DMA32 being ignored
during reclaim, masking pressure in other zones.  Consequently,
pgdat->kswapd_failures remains 0 in balance_pgdat(), preventing fallback
mechanisms in allow_direct_reclaim() from being triggered, leading to an
infinite loop in throttle_direct_reclaim().

This patch modifies zone_reclaimable_pages() to account for free pages
(NR_FREE_PAGES) when no other reclaimable pages exist.  This ensures zones
with sufficient free pages are not skipped, enabling proper balancing and
reclaim behavior.

Scenario:
User processe are requesting a large amount of memory and keep page active.
Then a module continuously requests memory from ZONE_DMA32 area.
Memory reclaim will be triggered due to ZONE_DMA32 watermark alarm reached.
However pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from
the ZONE_NORMAL area.

Reproduce:
Terminal 1: Construct to continuously increase pages active(anon).
mkdir /tmp/memory
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1024000M tmpfs /tmp/memory
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/memory/block bs=4M
tail /tmp/memory/block

Terminal 2:
vmstat -a 1

About the Fixes:
Why did it take eight years to be discovered?

The problem requires the following conditions to occur:
1. The device memory should be large enough.
2. Pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from the ZONE_NORMAL area.
3. The memory in ZONE_DMA32 needs to reach the watermark.

If the memory is not large enough, or if the usage design of ZONE_DMA32
area memory is reasonable, this problem is difficult to detect.

notes:
The problem is most likely to occur in ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL,
but other suitable scenarios may also trigger the problem.

We have several places across the kernel where we want to access another
task's syscall arguments, such as ptrace(2), seccomp(2), etc., by making
a call to syscall_get_arguments().

This works for register arguments right away by accessing the task's
`regs' member of `struct pt_regs', however for stack arguments seen with
32-bit/o32 kernels things are more complicated.  Technically they ought
to be obtained from the user stack with calls to an access_remote_vm(),
but we have an easier way available already.

So as to be able to access syscall stack arguments as regular function
arguments following the MIPS calling convention we copy them over from
the user stack to the kernel stack in arch/mips/kernel/scall32-o32.S, in
handle_sys(), to the current stack frame's outgoing argument space at
the top of the stack, which is where the handler called expects to see
its incoming arguments.  This area is also pointed at by the `pt_regs'
pointer obtained by task_pt_regs().

Make the o32 stack argument space a proper member of `struct pt_regs'
then, by renaming the existing member from `pad0' to `args' and using
generated offsets to access the space.  No functional change though.

With the change in place the o32 kernel stack frame layout at the entry
to a syscall handler invoked by handle_sys() is therefore as follows:

$sp + 68 -> |         ...         | <- pt_regs.regs[9]
            +---------------------+
$sp + 64 -> |         $t0         | <- pt_regs.regs[8]

holding user data received and with the first 4 frame slots reserved by
the psABI for the compiler to spill the incoming arguments from $a0-$a3
registers (which it sometimes does according to its needs) and the next
4 frame slots designated by the psABI for any stack function arguments
that follow.  This data is also available for other tasks to peek/poke
at as reqired and where permitted.

This makes ptrace/get_syscall_info selftest pass on mips o32 and
mips64 o32 by fixing the following two test assertions:

1. get_syscall_info test assertion on mips o32:
  # get_syscall_info.c:218:get_syscall_info:Expected exp_args[5] (3134521044) == info.entry.args[4] (4911432)
  # get_syscall_info.c:219:get_syscall_info:wait #1: entry stop mismatch

2. get_syscall_info test assertion on mips64 o32:
  # get_syscall_info.c:209:get_syscall_info:Expected exp_args[2] (3134324433) == info.entry.args[1] (18446744072548908753)
  # get_syscall_info.c:210:get_syscall_info:wait #1: entry stop mismatch

The first assertion happens due to mips_get_syscall_arg() trying to access
another task's context but failing to do it properly because get_user() it
calls just peeks at the current task's context.  It usually does not crash
because the default user stack always gets assigned the same VMA, but it
is pure luck which mips_get_syscall_arg() wouldn't have if e.g. the stack
was switched (via setcontext(3) or however) or a non-default process's
thread peeked at, and in any case irrelevant data is obtained just as
observed with the test case.

mips_get_syscall_arg() ought to be using access_remote_vm() instead to
retrieve the other task's stack contents, but given that the data has been
already obtained and saved in `struct pt_regs' it would be an overkill.

The first assertion is fixed for mips o32 by using struct pt_regs.args
instead of get_user() to obtain syscall arguments.  This approach works
due to this piece in arch/mips/kernel/scall32-o32.S:

        /*
         * Ok, copy the args from the luser stack to the kernel stack.
         */

        .set    push
        .set    noreorder
        .set    nomacro

    load_a4: user_lw(t5, 16(t0))		# argument #5 from usp
    load_a5: user_lw(t6, 20(t0))		# argument #6 from usp
    load_a6: user_lw(t7, 24(t0))		# argument #7 from usp
    load_a7: user_lw(t8, 28(t0))		# argument #8 from usp
    loads_done:

        sw	t5, PT_ARG4(sp)		# argument #5 to ksp
        sw	t6, PT_ARG5(sp)		# argument #6 to ksp
        sw	t7, PT_ARG6(sp)		# argument #7 to ksp
        sw	t8, PT_ARG7(sp)		# argument #8 to ksp
        .set	pop

        .section __ex_table,"a"
        PTR_WD	load_a4, bad_stack_a4
        PTR_WD	load_a5, bad_stack_a5
        PTR_WD	load_a6, bad_stack_a6
        PTR_WD	load_a7, bad_stack_a7
        .previous

arch/mips/kernel/scall64-o32.S has analogous code for mips64 o32 that
allows fixing the issue by obtaining syscall arguments from struct
pt_regs.regs[4..11] instead of the erroneous use of get_user().

The second assertion is fixed by truncating 64-bit values to 32-bit
syscall arguments.

KMSAN reported a use-after-free issue in eth_skb_pkt_type()[1]. The
cause of the issue was that eth_skb_pkt_type() accessed skb's data
that didn't contain an Ethernet header. This occurs when
bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() passes an invalid value as the user_data
argument to bpf_test_init().

Fix this by returning an error when user_data is less than ETH_HLEN in
bpf_test_init(). Additionally, remove the check for "if (user_size >
size)" as it is unnecessary.

napi_schedule() is expected to be called either:

* From an interrupt, where raised softirqs are handled on IRQ exit

* From a softirq disabled section, where raised softirqs are handled on
  the next call to local_bh_enable().

* From a softirq handler, where raised softirqs are handled on the next
  round in do_softirq(), or further deferred to a dedicated kthread.

Other bare tasks context may end up ignoring the raised NET_RX vector
until the next random softirq handling opportunity, which may not
happen before a while if the CPU goes idle afterwards with the tick
stopped.

Such "misuses" have been detected on several places thanks to messages
of the kind:

	"NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #8!!!"

For example:

       __raise_softirq_irqoff
        __napi_schedule
        rtl8152_runtime_resume.isra.0
        rtl8152_resume
        usb_resume_interface.isra.0
        usb_resume_both
        __rpm_callback
        rpm_callback
        rpm_resume
        __pm_runtime_resume
        usb_autoresume_device
        usb_remote_wakeup
        hub_event
        process_one_work
        worker_thread
        kthread
        ret_from_fork
        ret_from_fork_asm

And also:

* drivers/net/usb/r8152.c::rtl_work_func_t
* drivers/net/netdevsim/netdev.c::nsim_start_xmit

There is a long history of issues of this kind:

	019edd0 ("ath10k: sdio: Add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()")
	3300685 ("idpf: disable local BH when scheduling napi for marker packets")
	e3d5d70 ("net: lan78xx: fix "softirq work is pending" error")
	e55c27e ("mt76: mt7615: add missing bh-disable around rx napi schedule")
	c0182aa ("mt76: mt7915: add missing bh-disable around tx napi enable/schedule")
	970be1d ("mt76: disable BH around napi_schedule() calls")
	019edd0 ("ath10k: sdio: Add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()")
	30bfec4 ("can: rx-offload: can_rx_offload_threaded_irq_finish(): add new  function to be called from threaded interrupt")
	e63052a ("mlx5e: add add missing BH locking around napi_schdule()")
	83a0c6e ("i40e: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule")
	bd4ce94 ("mlx4: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule")
	8cf699e ("mlx4: do not call napi_schedule() without care")
	ec13ee8 ("virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule")

This shows that relying on the caller to arrange a proper context for
the softirqs to be handled while calling napi_schedule() is very fragile
and error prone. Also fixing them can also prove challenging if the
caller may be called from different kinds of contexts.

Therefore fix this from napi_schedule() itself with waking up ksoftirqd
when softirqs are raised from task contexts.
