block: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in blk_add_partition

2024-10-17T13:20:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 26e197b7f9240a4ac301dd0ad520c0c697c2ea7d ] The blk_add_partition() function initially used a single if-condition (IS_ERR(part)) to check for errors when adding a partition. This was modified to handle the specific case of -ENXIO separately, allowing the function to proceed without logging the error in this case. However, this change unintentionally left a path where md_autodetect_dev() could be called without confirming that part is a valid pointer. This commit separates the error handling logic by splitting the initial if-condition, improving code readability and handling specific error scenarios explicitly. The function now distinguishes the general error case from -ENXIO without altering the existing behavior of md_autodetect_dev() calls.

block: print symbolic error name instead of error code

[ Upstream commit 25c1772a0493463408489b1fae65cf77fe46cac1 ] Utilize the %pe print specifier to get the symbolic error name as a string (i.e "-ENOMEM") in the log message instead of the error code to increase its readablility.

block: Move checking GENHD_FL_NO_PART to bdev_add_partition()

2024-02-01T00:17:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7777f47f2ea64efd1016262e7b59fab34adfb869 ] Commit 1a721de8489f ("block: don't add or resize partition on the disk with GENHD_FL_NO_PART") prevented all operations about partitions on disks with GENHD_FL_NO_PART in blkpg_do_ioctl() since they are meaningless. However, it changed error code in some scenarios. So move checking GENHD_FL_NO_PART to bdev_add_partition() to eliminate impact.

block: don't add partitions if GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN is set

2022-09-03T17:29:03+00:00

Commit b9684a71fca7 ("block, loop: support partitions without scanning") adds GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN for replacing part function of GENHD_FL_NO_PART. But looks blk_add_partitions() is missed, since loop doesn't want to add partitions if GENHD_FL_NO_PART was set. And it causes regression on libblockdev (as called from udisks) which operates with the LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN. Fixes the issue by not adding partitions if GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN is set.
