The GSS Message Integrity Check data for krb5i may lie partially in the XDR
reply buffer's pages and tail.  If so, we try to copy the entire MIC into
free space in the tail.  But as the estimations of the slack space required
for authentication and verification have improved there may be less free
space in the tail to complete this copy -- see commit 2c94b8eca1a2
("SUNRPC: Use au_rslack when computing reply buffer size").  In fact, there
may only be room in the tail for a single copy of the MIC, and not part of
the MIC and then another complete copy.

The real world failure reported is that `ls` of a directory on NFS may
sometimes return -EIO, which can be traced back to xdr_buf_read_netobj()
failing to find available free space in the tail to copy the MIC.

Fix this by checking for the case of the MIC crossing the boundaries of
head, pages, and tail. If so, shift the buffer until the MIC is contained
completely within the pages or tail.  This allows the remainder of the
function to create a sub buffer that directly address the complete MIC.

How about "/* Find a contiguous area in @buf to hold all of @obj */" ?

Your new code assumes that when krb5i is in use, the upper layer will always
provide a non-NULL tail->iov_len. I wouldn't swear that will always be true:
The reason for the "if (buf->tail[0].iov_len)" check is to see whether the
upper layer indeed has set up a tail. iov_len will be non-zero only when the
upper layer has provided a tail buffer.

Well, it assumes that there is space in the head buffer after its end. That's
not necessarily the tail. Are we sure that in the post-35e77d21baa0 world
there will always be enough space after head->iov_len?

A reasonable test here would be to enable SLUB poisoning and and try some
complex workloads on an NFSv4 krb5i mount.

I'm not convinced :-) I'd like to see more justification for this claim.

This is why in the long run we are better off using a scratch buffer instead
of finding a spot in @buf. The rules about how the rq_rcv_buf is set up are
gray; this function makes a lot of "clever" assumptions about that, and that
makes this logic quite brittle.

Now that we have an xdr_stream in gss_unwrap_resp_integ(), I wonder if you
could use the stream's scratch xdr_buf. If not, a kmalloc should do the trick.

For the case where we only have kvec data, then xdr_buf_init() assigns
all the allocated buffer to the header, so the mic should be
contiguously buffered there.

If we have page data, then the fact that auth->au_rslack > auth-
>au_ralign should ensure that we have allocated a sufficiently large
tail buffer (see rpc_prepare_reply_pages()).

BTW: this also means we should really only need to move the mic in the
case where buf->page_len != 0.
It also means that we should probably change xdr_inline_pages() to be a
static function, since the assumption above fails if the user does not
call rpc_prepare_reply_pages() in order to calculate the header
alignment correctly.

Alright.. I'll bring the test back on v3.

Sounds like a third patch would make this series even better..  thanks for
the review and advice!  I'll send a v3 with Chuck's suggestions this morning
and put the optimizations Trond would like to see together in a third patch
when I have some slack time.
