<id>urn:sha1:c5b2cbdbdac563f46ecd5e187253ab1abbd6fc04</id>
<content type='text'>
Update and document memory barriers for mqueue.c:

- ewp-&gt;state is read without any locks, thus READ_ONCE is required.

- add smp_aquire__after_ctrl_dep() after the READ_ONCE, we need
  acquire semantics if the value is STATE_READY.

- use wake_q_add_safe()

- document why __set_current_state() may be used:
  Reading task-&gt;state cannot happen before the wake_q_add() call,
  which happens while holding info-&gt;lock. Thus the spin_unlock()
  is the RELEASE, and the spin_lock() is the ACQUIRE.

For completeness: there is also a 3 CPU scenario, if the to be woken
up task is already on another wake_q.
Then:
- CPU1: spin_unlock() of the task that goes to sleep is the RELEASE
- CPU2: the spin_lock() of the waker is the ACQUIRE
- CPU2: smp_mb__before_atomic inside wake_q_add() is the RELEASE
- CPU3: smp_mb__after_spinlock() inside try_to_wake_up() is the ACQUIRE

<title>ipc/mqueue: improve exception handling in do_mq_notify()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c231740dd95e854de5034cff8f49737d942bc098</id>
<content type='text'>
Null pointers were assigned to local variables in a few cases as exception
handling.  The jump target “out” was used where no meaningful data
processing actions should eventually be performed by branches of an if
statement then.  Use an additional jump target for calling dev_kfree_skb()
directly.

Return also directly after error conditions were detected when no extra
clean-up is needed by this function implementation.

dev_kfree_skb() input parameter validation, thus the test around the call
is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

<title>ipc/mqueue.c: only perform resource calculation if user valid</title>

Andreas Christoforou reported:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/mqueue.c:414:49 signed integer overflow:
  9 * 2305843009213693951 cannot be represented in type 'long int'
  ...
  Call Trace:
    mqueue_evict_inode+0x8e7/0xa10 ipc/mqueue.c:414
    evict+0x472/0x8c0 fs/inode.c:558

    prepare_open ipc/mqueue.c:731 [inline]
    do_mq_open+0x6da/0x8e0 ipc/mqueue.c:771

Which could be triggered by:

        struct mq_attr attr = {
                .mq_flags = 0,
                .mq_maxmsg = 9,
                .mq_msgsize = 0x1fffffffffffffff,
                .mq_curmsgs = 0,
        };

        if (mq_open("/testing", 0x40, 3, &amp;attr) == (mqd_t) -1)
                perror("mq_open");

mqueue_get_inode() was correctly rejecting the giant mq_msgsize, and
preparing to return -EINVAL.  During the cleanup, it calls
mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for
updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all
(which would indicate that the calculations would be sane).  Instead,
delay this check to after seeing a valid "user".

The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw is
harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, so just fix it by moving the
calculation under the non-NULL "user" where it actually gets used.

<title>ipc/mqueue: optimize msg_get()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a5091fda4e3c202aeb1728a86d0fcd20fd0f4f5e</id>
<content type='text'>
Our msg priorities became an rbtree as of d6629859b36d ("ipc/mqueue:
improve performance of send/recv").  However, consuming a msg in
msg_get() remains logarithmic (still being better than the case before
of course).  By applying well known techniques to cache pointers we can
have the node with the highest priority in O(1), which is specially nice
for the rt cases.  Furthermore, some callers can call msg_get() in a
loop.

A new msg_tree_erase() helper is also added to encapsulate the tree
removal and node_cache game.  Passes ltp mq testcases.

We already store the current task fo the new waiter before calling
wq_sleep() in both send and recv paths.  Trivially remove the redundant
assignment.
