showing that we never complete that read request. The reason is that
the completion setup is racy - it initializes the completion event
AFTER submitting the IO, which means that the IO could complete
before/during the init. If it does, we are passing garbage to
complete() and we may sleep forever waiting for the event to
occur.

This driver likes to fetch requests from all over the place, so make
queue_rq put requests on a list so that the logic stays the same. Tested
with QEMU.

Converted to blk_mq_init_sq_queue() and fixed a few spots where the
tag_set leaked on cleanup.

<content type='text'>
Merge -rc6 in, for two reasons:

1) Resolve a trivial conflict in the blk-mq-tag.c documentation
2) A few important regression fixes went into upstream directly, so
   they aren't in the 4.20 branch.

<content type='text'>
Update device_add_disk() to take an 'groups' argument so that
individual drivers can register a device with additional sysfs
attributes.
This avoids race condition the driver would otherwise have if these
groups were to be created with sysfs_add_groups().

<title>floppy: Do not copy a kernel pointer to user memory in FDGETPRM ioctl</title>
<updated>2018-09-20T15:09:48+00:00</updated>

<name>Andy Whitcroft</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=65eea8edc315589d6c993cf12dbb5d0e9ef1fe4e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:65eea8edc315589d6c993cf12dbb5d0e9ef1fe4e</id>
<content type='text'>
The final field of a floppy_struct is the field "name", which is a pointer
to a string in kernel memory.  The kernel pointer should not be copied to
user memory.  The FDGETPRM ioctl copies a floppy_struct to user memory,
including this "name" field.  This pointer cannot be used by the user
and it will leak a kernel address to user-space, which will reveal the
location of kernel code and data and undermine KASLR protection.

Model this code after the compat ioctl which copies the returned data
to a previously cleared temporary structure on the stack (excluding the
name pointer) and copy out to userspace from there.  As we already have
an inparam union with an appropriate member and that memory is already
cleared even for read only calls make use of that as a temporary store.

Based on an initial patch by Brian Belleville.

<content type='text'>
Convert the S_&lt;FOO&gt; symbolic permissions to their octal equivalents as
using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more
readable.

see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/2/1945

Done with automated conversion via:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace &lt;files...&gt;

o Wrapped modified multi-line calls to a single line where appropriate
o Realign modified multi-line calls to open parenthesis

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to passing in the timer pointer explicitly.
Calculate the drive from the offset of the timer in the timer list.
