watch_queue: fix pipe accounting mismatch

Currently, watch_queue_set_size() modifies the pipe buffers charged to
user->pipe_bufs without updating the pipe->nr_accounted on the pipe
itself, due to the if (!pipe_has_watch_queue()) test in
pipe_resize_ring(). This means that when the pipe is ultimately freed,
we decrement user->pipe_bufs by something other than what than we had
charged to it, potentially leading to an underflow. This in turn can
cause subsequent too_many_pipe_buffers_soft() tests to fail with -EPERM.

To remedy this, explicitly account for the pipe usage in
watch_queue_set_size() to match the number set via account_pipe_buffers()

(It's unclear why watch_queue_set_size() does not update nr_accounted;
it may be due to intentional overprovisioning in watch_queue_set_size()?)

introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).

NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

When compiling with gcc version 14.0.0 20231220 (experimental)
and W=1, I've noticed the following warning:

kernel/watch_queue.c: In function 'watch_queue_set_size':

in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Wcalloc-transposed-args]
273 | pages = kcalloc(sizeof(struct page *), nr_pages, GFP_KERNEL);
| ^~~~~~

Since 'n' and 'size' arguments of 'kcalloc()' are multiplied to
calculate the final size, their actual order doesn't affect the
result and so this is not a bug. But it's still worth to fix it.

watch_queue: prevent dangling pipe pointer

NULL the dangling pipe reference while clearing watch_queue.

If not done, a reference to a freed pipe remains in the watch_queue,
as this function is called before freeing a pipe in free_pipe_info()
(see line 834 of fs/pipe.c).

The sole use of wqueue->defunct is for checking if the watch queue has
been cleared, but wqueue->pipe is also NULLed while clearing.

Thus, wqueue->defunct is superfluous, as wqueue->pipe can be checked
for NULL. Hence, the former can be removed.

Tested with keyutils testsuite.

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

watch_queue: Fix missing locking in add_watch_to_object()

If a watch is being added to a queue, it needs to guard against
interference from addition of a new watch, manual removal of a watch and
removal of a watch due to some other queue being destroyed.

KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY guards against this for the same {key,queue} pair by
holding the key->sem writelocked and by holding refs on both the key and
the queue - but that doesn't prevent interaction from other {key,queue}
pairs.

While add_watch_to_object() does take the spinlock on the event queue,
it doesn't take the lock on the source's watch list. The assumption was
that the caller would prevent that (say by taking key->sem) - but that
doesn't prevent interference from the destruction of another queue.

Fix this by locking the watcher list in add_watch_to_object().

watchqueue: make sure to serialize 'wqueue->defunct' properly

When the pipe is closed, we mark the associated watchqueue defunct by
calling watch_queue_clear(). However, while that is protected by the
watchqueue lock, new watchqueue entries aren't actually added under that
lock at all: they use the pipe->rd_wait.lock instead, and looking up
that pipe happens without any locking.

The watchqueue code uses the RCU read-side section to make sure that the
wqueue entry itself hasn't disappeared, but that does not protect the
pipe_info in any way.

So make sure to actually hold the wqueue lock when posting watch events,
properly serializing against the pipe being torn down.

watch_queue: Fix lack of barrier/sync/lock between post and read

There's nothing to synchronise post_one_notification() versus
pipe_read(). Whilst posting is done under pipe->rd_wait.lock, the
reader only takes pipe->mutex which cannot bar notification posting as
that may need to be made from contexts that cannot sleep.

Fix this by setting pipe->head with a barrier in post_one_notification()
and reading pipe->head with a barrier in pipe_read().

If that's not sufficient, the rd_wait.lock will need to be taken,
possibly in a ->confirm() op so that it only applies to notifications.
The lock would, however, have to be dropped before copy_page_to_iter()
is invoked.

watch_queue: Fix the alloc bitmap size to reflect notes allocated

Currently, watch_queue_set_size() sets the number of notes available in
wqueue->nr_notes according to the number of notes allocated, but sets
the size of the bitmap to the unrounded number of notes originally asked
for.

Fix this by setting the bitmap size to the number of notes we're
actually going to make available (ie. the number allocated).

watch_queue: Fix to always request a pow-of-2 pipe ring size

The pipe ring size must always be a power of 2 as the head and tail
pointers are masked off by AND'ing with the size of the ring - 1.
watch_queue_set_size(), however, lets you specify any number of notes
between 1 and 511. This number is passed through to pipe_resize_ring()
without checking/forcing its alignment.

Fix this by rounding the number of slots required up to the nearest
power of two. The request is meant to guarantee that at least that many
notifications can be generated before the queue is full, so rounding
down isn't an option, but, alternatively, it may be better to give an
error if we aren't allowed to allocate that much ring space.

watch_queue: Fix to release page in ->release()

When a pipe ring descriptor points to a notification message, the
refcount on the backing page is incremented by the generic get function,
but the release function, which marks the bitmap, doesn't drop the page
ref.

Fix this by calling generic_pipe_buf_release() at the end of
watch_queue_pipe_buf_release().
