[patch V3 00/10] rslib: Cleanup and VLA removal

[Thomas Gleixner]

Kees tried to get rid of the Variable Length Arrays in the Reed-Solomon
library by replacing them with fixed length arrays on stack. Though they
are rather large and Andrew did not fall in love with that solution.

This series addresses that in a different way by splitting the rs control
structure up, so that each invocation of rs_init() returns a new instance
in which the decoder buffers are allocated. The polynom tables which build
the base for the RS codecs are still shareable between the instances to
avoid large allocations and initializations of the same data over and over.

The usage sites have been audited and fixed up where necessary to
accomodate the decoder change which forbids parallel decoder invocation for
a particular rs control instance to prevent buffer corruption.

While at it the patch set tidies up the code and converts the related files
over to use SPDX license identifiers.

Changes since V2:

   Provide a gfp aware variant of init_rs and use it in the alloc callback
   of the dm/verity_fec rs_pool mempool allocations

   Picked up Reviewed/Acked-by tags and fixed the subject line for the MTD
   specific patch.

Changes since V1:

   Simplify error path in the diskonchip code and use the proper
   function to free the decoder.

As this spawns multiple subsystems it should either go through Andrews tree
or Kees can route it with his other hardening stuff.

Thanks,

        tglx

[patch V3 01/10] rslib: Add GFP aware init function

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: rslib--Add-GFP-aware-init-function.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5958 bytes --]

The rslib usage in dm/verity_fec is broken because init_rs() can nest in
GFP_NOIO mempool allocations as init_rs() is invoked from the mempool alloc
callback.

Provide a variant which takes gfp_t flags as argument.

[patch V3 02/10] dm/verity_fec: Use GFP aware reed solomon init

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: dm-verity_fec--Use-GFP-aware-reed-solomon-init.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1249 bytes --]

Allocations from the rs_pool can invoke init_rs() from the mempool
allocation callback. This is problematic in fec_alloc_bufs() which invokes
mempool_alloc() with GFP_NOIO to prevent a swap deadlock because init_rs()
uses GFP_KERNEL allocations.

Switch it to init_rs_gfp() and invoke it with the gfp_t flags which are
handed in from the allocator.

Note: This is not a problem today because the rs control struct is shared
between the instances and its created when the mempool is initialized. But
the upcoming changes which switch to a rs_control struct per instance to
embed decoder buffers will trigger the swap vs. GFP_KERNEL issue.

[patch V3 07/10] rslib: Simplify error path

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: rslib--Simplify-error-path.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1841 bytes --]

The four error path labels in rs_init() can be reduced to one by allocating
the struct with kzalloc so the pointers in the struct are NULL and can be
unconditionally handed in to kfree() because they either point to an
allocation or are NULL.

[patch V3 08/10] rslib: Split rs control struct

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: rslib--Split_rs_control_struct.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 16134 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The decoder library uses variable length arrays on stack. To get rid of
them it would be simple to allocate fixed length arrays on stack, but those
might become rather large. The other solution is to allocate the buffers in
the rs control structure, but this cannot be done as long as the structure
can be shared by several users. Sharing is desired because the RS polynom
tables are large and initialization is time consuming.

To solve this split the codec information out of the control structure and
have a pointer to a shared codec in it. Instantiate the control structure
for each user, create a new codec if no shareable is avaiable yet.  Adjust
all affected usage sites to the new scheme.

This allows to add per instance decoder buffers to the control structure
later on.

[patch V3 09/10] mtd: rawnand: diskonchip: Allocate rs control per instance

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: mtd-diskonchip--Allocate_rs_control_per_instance.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5232 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The reed solomon library is moving the on stack decoder buffers into the rs
control structure. That would break the DoC driver because multiple
instances share the same control structure and can operate in parallel. At
least in theory....

Instantiate a rs control instance per DoC device to avoid that. The per
instance buffer is fine as the operation on a single DoC instance is
serialized by the MTD/NAND core.

[patch V3 10/10] rslib: Allocate decoder buffers to avoid VLAs

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: rslib--Allocate_decoder_buffers_to_avoid_VLAs.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5392 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

To get rid of the variable length arrays on stack in the RS decoder it's
necessary to allocate the decoder buffers per control structure instance.

All usage sites have been checked for potential parallel decoder usage and
fixed where necessary. Kees confirmed that the pstore decoding is strictly
single threaded so there should be no surprises.

Allocate them in the rs control structure sized depending on the number of
roots for the chosen codec and adapt the decoder code to make use of them.

Document the fact that decode operations based on a particular rs control
instance cannot run in parallel and the caller has to ensure that as it's
not possible to provide a proper locking construct which fits all use
cases.

I'll create a VLA sub-tree to my KSPP stuff and start collecting this
and other VLA fixes that maintainers haven't taken yet. Once
build-testing finishes, I'll push it out for -next.

The version of this patch that Kees has committed to his kspp tree in linux-next has

#include <linux/slab.h>

why not just

#include <linux/types.h>	/* for gpf_t */
#include <linux/gpf.h>		/* for GFP_KERNEL */

?

We could certainly switch to that. (Why doesn't gfp.h include types.h?)
