      nfs4: Ensure that ACL pages sent over NFS were not allocated from the slab (v3) · e9e3d724

      It occurs because an skb with a fraglist was freed from the tcp
      retransmit queue when it was acked, but a page on that fraglist had
      PG_Slab set (indicating it was allocated from the Slab allocator (which
      means the free path above can't safely free it via put_page.
      
      We tracked this back to an nfsv4 setacl operation, in which the nfs code
      attempted to fill convert the passed in buffer to an array of pages in
      __nfs4_proc_set_acl, which gets used by the skb->frags list in
      xs_sendpages.  __nfs4_proc_set_acl just converts each page in the buffer
      to a page struct via virt_to_page, but the vfs allocates the buffer via
      kmalloc, meaning the PG_slab bit is set.  We can't create a buffer with
      kmalloc and free it later in the tcp ack path with put_page, so we need
      to either:
      
      1) ensure that when we create the list of pages, no page struct has
         PG_Slab set
      
       or
      
      2) not use a page list to send this data
      
      Given that these buffers can be multiple pages and arbitrarily sized, I
      think (1) is the right way to go.  I've written the below patch to
      allocate a page from the buddy allocator directly and copy the data over
      to it.  This ensures that we have a put_page free-able page for every
      entry that winds up on an skb frag list, so it can be safely freed when
      the frame is acked.  We do a put page on each entry after the
      rpc_call_sync call so as to drop our own reference count to the page,
      leaving only the ref count taken by tcp_sendpages.  This way the data
      will be properly freed when the ack comes in
      
      Successfully tested by myself to solve the above oops.
      
      Note, as this is the result of a setacl operation that exceeded a page
      of data, I think this amounts to a local DOS triggerable by an
      uprivlidged user, so I'm CCing security on this as well.
