watch_queue_clear() has a comment stating that setting -&gt;defunct to true
preventing new additions as well as preventing notifications.  Whilst
the latter is true, the first bit is superfluous since at the time this
function is called, the pipe cannot be accessed to add new event
sources.

Remove the "new additions" bit from the comment.

<title>watch_queue: Fix lack of barrier/sync/lock between post and read</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2ed147f015af2b48f41c6f0b6746aa9ea85c19f3</id>
<content type='text'>
There's nothing to synchronise post_one_notification() versus
pipe_read().  Whilst posting is done under pipe-&gt;rd_wait.lock, the
reader only takes pipe-&gt;mutex which cannot bar notification posting as
that may need to be made from contexts that cannot sleep.

Fix this by setting pipe-&gt;head with a barrier in post_one_notification()
and reading pipe-&gt;head with a barrier in pipe_read().

If that's not sufficient, the rd_wait.lock will need to be taken,
possibly in a -&gt;confirm() op so that it only applies to notifications.
The lock would, however, have to be dropped before copy_page_to_iter()
is invoked.

Currently, watch_queue_set_size() sets the number of notes available in
wqueue-&gt;nr_notes according to the number of notes allocated, but sets
the size of the bitmap to the unrounded number of notes originally asked
for.

Fix this by setting the bitmap size to the number of notes we're
actually going to make available (ie. the number allocated).

Use bitmap_alloc() to simplify code, improve the semantic and reduce
some open-coded arithmetic in allocator arguments.

Also change a memset(0xff) into an equivalent bitmap_fill() to keep
consistency.

<title>watch_queue: Fix to always request a pow-of-2 pipe ring size</title>

<id>urn:sha1:96a4d8912b28451cd62825fd7caa0e66e091d938</id>
<content type='text'>
The pipe ring size must always be a power of 2 as the head and tail
pointers are masked off by AND'ing with the size of the ring - 1.
watch_queue_set_size(), however, lets you specify any number of notes
between 1 and 511.  This number is passed through to pipe_resize_ring()
without checking/forcing its alignment.

Fix this by rounding the number of slots required up to the nearest
power of two.  The request is meant to guarantee that at least that many
notifications can be generated before the queue is full, so rounding
down isn't an option, but, alternatively, it may be better to give an
error if we aren't allowed to allocate that much ring space.

When a pipe ring descriptor points to a notification message, the
refcount on the backing page is incremented by the generic get function,
but the release function, which marks the bitmap, doesn't drop the page
ref.

Fix this by calling generic_pipe_buf_release() at the end of
watch_queue_pipe_buf_release().

<id>urn:sha1:c993ee0f9f81caf5767a50d1faeba39a0dc82af2</id>
<content type='text'>
In watch_queue_set_filter(), there are a couple of places where we check
that the filter type value does not exceed what the type_filter bitmap
can hold.  One place calculates the number of bits by:

   if (tf[i].type &gt;= sizeof(wfilter-&gt;type_filter) * 8)

which is fine, but the second does:

   if (tf[i].type &gt;= sizeof(wfilter-&gt;type_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG)

which is not.  This can lead to a couple of out-of-bounds writes due to
a too-large type:

 (1) __set_bit() on wfilter-&gt;type_filter
 (2) Writing more elements in wfilter-&gt;filters[] than we allocated.

Fix this by just using the proper WATCH_TYPE__NR instead, which is the
number of types we actually know about.

The bug may cause an oops looking something like:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in watch_queue_set_filter+0x659/0x740

<id>urn:sha1:29e44f4535faa71a70827af3639b5e6762d8f02a</id>
<content type='text'>
Impose a limit on the number of watches that a user can hold so that
they can't use this mechanism to fill up all the available memory.

This is done by putting a counter in user_struct that's incremented when
a watch is allocated and decreased when it is released.  If the number
exceeds the RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, the watch is rejected with EAGAIN.

This can be tested by the following means:

 (1) Create a watch queue and attach it to fd 5 in the program given - in
     this case, bash:

	keyctl watch_session /tmp/nlog /tmp/gclog 5 bash

 (2) In the shell, set the maximum number of files to, say, 99:

	ulimit -n 99

 (3) Add 200 keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i&lt;200; i++)); do keyctl newring a$i @s || break; done

 (4) Try to watch all of the keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i&lt;200; i++)); do echo $i; keyctl watch_add 5 %:a$i || break; done

     This should fail when the number of watches belonging to the user hits
     99.

 (5) Remove all the keyrings and all of those watches should go away:

	for ((i=0; i&lt;200; i++)); do keyctl unlink %:a$i; done

 (6) Kill off the watch queue by exiting the shell spawned by
     watch_session.
