PATCH 1/1 sunrpc: don't pass on-stack memory to sg_set_buf

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>

As of ac4e97abce9b "scatterlist: sg_set_buf() argument must be in linear mapping", sg_set_buf hits a BUG when make_checksum_v2->xdr_process_buf, among other callers, passes it memory on the stack.

We only need a scatterlist to pass this to the crypto code, and it seems like overkill to require kmalloc'd memory just to encrypt a few bytes, but for now this seems the best fix.

Note many of these callers are in the NFS write paths, so we shouldn't really be allocating GFP_KERNEL. But we already have other allocations in these code paths. A larger redesign may be necessary to allow allocations to be done earlier.

NACK… I agree that there may already be borkage in RPCSEC_GSS-land, but that’s not a reason to be adding to the pile of things that need to be fixed… The allocations that lie in the RPC client’s encode/decode path do need to be GFP_NOFS….

OK. Any disadvantage to keeping this patch with just GFP_NOFS allocations everywhere that might be in the write path?

And we may as well fix up some more easy stuff while we're there.

sunrpc: GFP_KERNEL should be GFP_NOFS in crypto code

Writes may depend on the auth_gss crypto code, so we shouldn't be allocating with GFP_KERNEL there.

This still leaves some crypto_alloc_* calls which end up doing GFP_KERNEL allocations in the crypto code. Those could probably done at crypto import time.
