KASAN reports that there is a use-after-free case of bio in btrfs_map_bio.
If we need to submit IOs to several disks at a time, the original bio
would get cloned and mapped to the destination disk, but we really should
use the original bio instead of a cloned bio to do the sanity check
because cloned bios are likely to be freed by its endio.

Commit 2dabb3248453 ("Btrfs: Direct I/O read: Work on sectorsized blocks")
introduced this bug during iterating bio pages in dio read's endio hook,
and it could end up with segment fault of the dio reading task.
So the reason is 'if (nr_sectors--)', and it makes the code assume that
there is one more block in the same page, so page offset is increased and
the bio which is created to repair the bad block then has an incorrect
bvec.bv_offset, and a later access of the page content would throw a
segmentation fault.
This also adds ASSERT to check page offset against page size.

It turns out that btrfs_retry_endio is trying to get inode from a directIO

This fixes the problem by using the saved inode pointer, done->inode.
btrfs_retry_endio_nocsum has the same problem, and it's fixed as well.
Also cleanup unused @start (which is too trivial for a separate patch).

current_restore_flags()
It is not safe for one thread to modify the ->flags
of another thread as there is no locking that can protect
the update.
So tsk_restore_flags(), which takes a task pointer and modifies
the flags, is an invitation to do the wrong thing.
All current users pass "current" as the task, so no developers have
accepted that invitation. It would be best to ensure it remains
that way.
So rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() and don't
pass in a task_struct pointer. Always operate on current->flags.

This fixes Continuous Availability when errors during
file reopen are encountered.
cifs_user_readv and cifs_user_writev would wait for ever if
results of cifs_reopen_file are not stored and for later inspection.
In fact, results are checked and, in case of errors, a chain
of function calls leading to reads and writes to be scheduled in
a separate thread is skipped.
These threads will wake up the corresponding waiters once reads
and writes are done.
However, given the return value is not stored, when rc is checked
for errors a previous one (always zero) is inspected instead.
This leads to pending reads/writes added to the list, making
cifs_user_readv and cifs_user_writev wait for ever.

Once the only place where it is set is removed, the remaining

Commit 1a967d6c9b39c226be1b45f13acd4d8a5ab3dc44 ("correctly to
anonymous authentication for the NTLM(v2) authentication") introduces
a regression in handling errors related to attempting a guest
connection to a Windows share which requires authentication. This
should result in a permission denied error but actually causes the
kernel module to enter a never-ending loop trying to follow a DFS
referal which doesn't exist.
The base cause of this is the failure now occurs later in the process
during tree connect and not at the session setup setup and all errors
in tree connect are interpreted as needing to follow the DFS paths
which isn't in this case correct. So, check the returned error against
EACCES and fail if this is returned error.
Feedback from Aurelien:
PS> net user guest /activate:no
PS> mkdir C:\guestshare
PS> icacls C:\guestshare /grant 'Everyone:(OI)(CI)F'
PS> new-smbshare -name guestshare -path C:\guestshare -fullaccess Everyone
I've tested v3.10, v4.4, master, master+your patch using default options
(empty or no user "NU") and user=abc (U).
NT_LOGON_FAILURE in session setup: LF
This is what you seem to have in 3.10.
NT_ACCESS_DENIED in tree connect to the share: AD
This is what you get before your infinite loop.
| NU U
--------------------------------
3.10 | LF LF
4.4 | LF LF
master | AD LF
master+patch | AD LF
No infinite DFS loop :(
All these issues result in mount failing very fast with permission denied.
I guess it could be from either the Windows version or the share/folder
ACL. A deeper analysis of the packets might reveal more.
In any case I did not notice any issues for on a basic DFS setup with
the patch so I don't think it introduced any regressions, which is
probably all that matters. It still bothers me a little I couldn't hit
the bug.
I've included kernel output w/ debugging output and network capture of
my tests if anyone want to have a look at it. (master+patch = ml-guestfix).

fanotify wants to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock when waiting for response
from userspace so that the whole notification subsystem is not blocked
during that time. This patch provides a framework for safely getting
mark reference for a mark found in the object list which pins the mark
in that list. We can then drop fsnotify_mark_srcu, wait for userspace
response and then safely continue iteration of the object list once we
reaquire fsnotify_mark_srcu.

Currently we queue all marks for destruction on group shutdown and then
destroy them from fsnotify_destroy_group() instead from a worker thread
which is the usual path. However worker can already be processing some
list of marks to destroy so this does not make 100% all marks are really
destroyed by the time group is shut down. This isn't a big problem as
each mark holds group reference and thus group stays partially alive
until all marks are really freed but there's no point in complicating
our lives - just wait for the delayed work to be finished instead.

Currently we queue mark into a list of marks for destruction in
__fsnotify_free_mark() and keep the last mark reference dangling. After the
worker waits for SRCU period, it drops the last reference to the mark
which frees it. This scheme has the disadvantage that if we hold
reference to a mark and drop and reacquire SRCU lock, the mark can get
freed immediately which is slightly inconvenient and we will need to
avoid this in the future.
Move to a scheme where queueing of mark into a list of marks for
destruction happens when the last reference to the mark is dropped. Also
drop reference to the mark held by group list already when mark is
removed from that list instead of dropping it only from the destruction
worker.

So far list of marks attached to an object (inode / vfsmount) was
protected by i_lock or mnt_root->d_lock. This dictates that the list
must be empty before the object can be destroyed although the list is
now anchored in the fsnotify_mark_connector structure. Protect the list
by a spinlock in the fsnotify_mark_connector structure to decouple
lifetime of a list of marks from a lifetime of the object. This also
simplifies the code quite a bit since we don't have to differentiate

Currently notification marks are attached to object (inode or vfsmnt) by
a hlist_head in the object. The list is also protected by a spinlock in
the object. So while there is any mark attached to the list of marks,
the object must be pinned in memory (and thus e.g. last iput() deleting
inode cannot happen). Also for list iteration in fsnotify() to work, we
must hold fsnotify_mark_srcu lock so that mark itself and
mark->obj_list.next cannot get freed. Thus we are required to wait for
response to fanotify events from userspace process with
fsnotify_mark_srcu lock held. That causes issues when userspace process
is buggy and does not reply to some event - basically the whole
notification subsystem gets eventually stuck.
So to be able to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock while waiting for
response, we have to pin the mark in memory and make sure it stays in
the object list (as removing the mark waiting for response could lead to
lost notification events for groups later in the list). However we don't
want inode reclaim to block on such mark as that would lead to system
just locking up elsewhere.
This commit is the first in the series that paves way towards solving
these conflicting lifetime needs. Instead of anchoring the list of marks
directly in the object, we anchor it in a dedicated structure
(fsnotify_mark_connector) and just point to that structure from the
object. The following commits will also add spinlock protecting the list
and object pointer to the structure.
