<content type='text'>
Currently, variable ref_count within the bsg_device struct is of
type atomic_t.  For variables being used as reference counters,
the refcount API should be used instead of atomic.  The newer
refcount API works to prevent counter overflows and use-after-free
bugs.  So, move this varable from the atomic API to refcount,
potentially avoiding the issues mentioned.

<content type='text'>
The code poses a security risk due to user memory access in -&gt;release
and had an API that can't be used reliably.  As far as we know it was
never used for real, but if that turns out wrong we'll have to revert
this commit and come up with a band aid.

Jann Horn did look software archives for users of this interface,
and the only users found were example code in sg3_utils, and optional
support in an optional module of the tgt user space iscsi target,
which looks like a proof of concept extension of the /dev/sg
read/write support.

Tony Battersby chimes in that the code is basically unsafe to use in
general:

  The read/write interface on /dev/bsg is impossible to use safely
  because the list of completed commands is per-device (bd-&gt;done_list)
  rather than per-fd like it is with /dev/sg.  So if program A and
  program B are both using the write/read interface on the same bsg
  device, then their command responses will get mixed up, and program
  A will read() some command results from program B and vice versa.
  So no, I don't use read/write on /dev/bsg.  From a security standpoint,
  it should definitely be fixed or removed.

command that does not transfer data (such as TEST UNIT READY) via
/dev/bsg/* results in EINVAL.

<title>bsg: fix race of bsg_open and bsg_unregister</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d6c73964f1e2a07f75057fb32ae46f6599036f93</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing implementation allows races between bsg_unregister and
bsg_open paths. bsg_unregister and request_queue cleanup and deletion
may start and complete right after bsg_get_device (in bsg_open path)
retrieves bsg_class_device and releases the mutex. Then bsg_open path
touches freed memory of bsg_class_device and request_queue.

One possible fix is to hold the mutex all the way through bsg_get_device
instead of releasing it after bsg_class_device retrieval.

<title>block: remove parent device reference from struct bsg_class_device</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5de815a7eedfacf593817ef34634eaa9b75a1482</id>
<content type='text'>
Bsg holding a reference to the parent device may result in a crash if a
bsg file handle is closed after the parent device driver has unloaded.

Holding a reference is not really needed: the parent device must exist
between bsg_register_queue and bsg_unregister_queue.  Before the device
goes away the caller does blk_cleanup_queue so that all in-flight
requests to the device are gone and all new requests cannot pass beyond
the queue.  The queue itself is a refcounted object and it will stay
alive with a bsg file.

Based on analysis, previous patch and changelog from Anatoliy Glagolev.

<id>urn:sha1:17cb960f29c29ee07bf6848ada3265f4be55972e</id>
<content type='text'>
The current BSG design tries to shoe-horn the transport-specific
passthrough commands into the overall framework for SCSI passthrough
requests.  This has a couple problems:

 - each passthrough queue has to set the QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH flag
   despite not dealing with SCSI commands at all.  Because of that these
   queues could also incorrectly accept SCSI commands from in-kernel
   users or through the legacy SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl.
 - the real SCSI bsg queues also incorrectly accept bsg requests of the
   BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_TRANSPORT type
 - the bsg transport code is almost unredable because it tries to reuse
   different SCSI concepts for its own purpose.

This patch instead adds a new bsg_ops structure to handle the two cases
differently, and thus solves all of the above problems.  Another side
effect is that the bsg-lib queues also don't need to embedd a
struct scsi_request anymore.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9a08845e9acbd224e4ee466f5c1275ed50054e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"
