block: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in blk_add_partition

2024-09-12T14:46:40+00:00

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: add a disk_has_partscan helper

2024-05-03T14:59:59+00:00

Add a helper to check if partition scanning is enabled instead of open coding the check in a few places. This now always checks for the hidden flag even if all but one of the callers are never reachable for hidden gendisks.

missing helpers: bdev_unhash(), bdev_drop()

2024-05-03T06:36:21+00:00

bdev_unhash(): make block device invisible to lookups by device number bdev_drop(): drop reference to associated inode. Both are internal, for use by genhd and partition-related code - similar to bdev_add(). The logics in there (especially the lifetime-related parts of it) ought to be cleaned up, but that's a separate story; here we just encapsulate getting to associated inode. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

block: move capacity validation to blkpg_do_ioctl()

Commit 6d4e80db4ebe ("block: add capacity validation in bdev_add_partition()") add check of partition's start and end sectors to prevent exceeding the size of the disk when adding partitions. However, there is still no check for resizing partitions now. Move the check to blkpg_do_ioctl() to cover resizing partitions.

block: Move checking GENHD_FL_NO_PART to bdev_add_partition()

2024-01-22T16:51:29+00:00

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.

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.
