ksmbd: add max ip connections parameter: backport problem 6.6

by Hauke Mehrtens

Hi, I think the backport of "ksmbd: add max ip connections parameter" to kernel 6.6 breaks the ksmbd ABI. See here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=… The "struct ksmbd_startup_request" is part of the ABI. The user space tool expects there the additional attribute: __s8 bind_interfaces_only; See: https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools/commit/3b7d4b4c02ddeb81ed3e68b623… Which was added in b2d99376c5d6 "ksmbd: browse interfaces list on FSCTL_QUERY_INTERFACE_INFO IOCTL".

This buffer can only be reallocated after the transaction is committed. jbd2_journal_try_remove_checkpoint() attempts to lock the buffer and check its dirty status while holding the buffer lock. If the buffer has already been written back, everything proceeds normally. However, there are two issues. First, the function returns immediately if the buffer is locked by the write-back process. It does not wait for the write-back to complete. Consequently, until the current transaction is committed and the block is reallocated, there is no guarantee that the I/O will complete. This means that ongoing I/O could write stale metadata to the newly allocated block, potentially corrupting data. Second, the function unlocks the buffer as soon as it detects that the buffer is still dirty. If a concurrent write-back occurs immediately after this unlocking and before clear_buffer_dirty() is called in jbd2_journal_forget(), data corruption can theoretically still occur. Although these two issues are unlikely to occur in practice since the undergoing metadata writeback I/O does not take this long to complete, it's better to explicitly ensure that all ongoing I/O operations are completed.

If such dentry is a directory, exportfs_decode_fh_raw() will then try to connect this dentry to the dentry tree through reconnect_path(). It may happen for various reasons (such as corrupted fs or race with rename) that the call to lookup_one_unlocked() in reconnect_one() will fail to find the dentry we are trying to reconnect and instead create a new dentry under the parent.

If such dentry is a directory, exportfs_decode_fh_raw() will then try to connect this dentry to the dentry tree through reconnect_path(). It may happen for various reasons (such as corrupted fs or race with rename) that the call to lookup_one_unlocked() in reconnect_one() will fail to find the dentry we are trying to reconnect and instead create a new dentry under the parent. Now this dentry will not be marked as disconnected although the parent still may well be disconnected (at least in case this inconsistency happened because the fs is corrupted and .. doesn't point to the real parent directory). This creates inconsistency in disconnected flags but AFAICS it was mostly harmless. At least until commit f1ee616214cb ("VFS: don't keep disconnected dentries on d_anon") which removed adding of most disconnected dentries to sb->s_anon list. Thus after this commit cleanup of disconnected dentries implicitely relies on the fact that dput() will immediately reclaim such dentries. However when some leaf dentry isn't marked as disconnected, as in the scenario described above, the reclaim doesn't happen and the dentries are "leaked". Memory reclaim can eventually reclaim them but otherwise they stay in memory and if umount comes first, we hit infamous "Busy inodes after unmount" bug. Make sure all dentries created under a disconnected parent are marked as disconnected as well.
