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.

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

<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

all timer callbacks, switch to passing in the timer pointer explicitly.
Calculate the drive from the offset of the timer in the timer list.

<title>block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74d46992e0d9dee7f1f376de0d56d31614c8a17a</id>
<content type='text'>
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro:
 "This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat
  syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a
  bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field
  copyin/copyout killed off.

   - kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the
     copyin/copyout of compat structs. Not all compat syscalls are gone
     from it yet, but it's getting there.

   - ipc/compat_mq.c killed off completely.

   - block/compat_ioctl.c cleaned up; floppy compat ioctls moved to
     drivers/block/floppy.c where they belong. Yes, there are several
     drivers that implement some of the same ioctls. Some are m68k and
     one is 32bit-only pmac. drivers/block/floppy.c is the only one in
     that bunch that can be built on biarch"

* 'misc.compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  mqueue: move compat syscalls to native ones
  usbdevfs: get rid of field-by-field copyin
  compat_hdio_ioctl: get rid of set_fs()
