commit 9fc75b71fdd38465c76c6f6a884cdd4ae3c72d90 upstream.

Given how rbd_lock_add_request() and rbd_img_exclusive_lock() are
written, lock_dwork may be (re)queued more than it's actually needed:
for example in case a new I/O request comes in while we are in the
middle of rbd_acquire_lock() on behalf of another I/O request.  This is
expected and with rbd_release_lock() preemptively canceling lock_dwork
is benign under normal operation.

A more problematic example is maybe_kick_acquire():

    if (have_requests || delayed_work_pending(&amp;rbd_dev-&gt;lock_dwork)) {
            dout("%s rbd_dev %p kicking lock_dwork\n", __func__, rbd_dev);
            mod_delayed_work(rbd_dev-&gt;task_wq, &amp;rbd_dev-&gt;lock_dwork, 0);
    }

It's not unrealistic for lock_dwork to get canceled right after
delayed_work_pending() returns true and for mod_delayed_work() to
requeue it right there anyway.  This is a classic TOCTOU race.

When it comes to unmapping the image, there is an implicit assumption
of no self-initiated exclusive lock activity past the point of return
from rbd_dev_image_unlock() which unlocks the lock if it happens to be
held.  This unlock is assumed to be final and lock_dwork (as well as
all other exclusive lock tasks, really) isn't expected to get queued
again.  However, lock_dwork is canceled only in cancel_tasks_sync()
(i.e. later in the unmap sequence) and on top of that the cancellation
can get in effect nullified by maybe_kick_acquire().  This may result
in rbd_acquire_lock() executing after rbd_dev_device_release() and
rbd_dev_image_release() run and free and/or reset a bunch of things.
One of the possible failure modes then is a violated

    rbd_assert(rbd_image_format_valid(rbd_dev-&gt;image_format));

in rbd_dev_header_info() which is called via rbd_dev_refresh() from
rbd_post_acquire_action().

Redo exclusive lock task draining to provide saner semantics and try
to meet the assumptions around rbd_dev_image_unlock().

<title>rbd: fix null-ptr-deref when device_add_disk() fails</title>

<id>urn:sha1:564cd8f4aeb9a938e470c5c91922fd02e4d41acc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d1fef92e414433ca7b89abf85cb0df42b8d475eb upstream.

do_rbd_add() publishes the device with device_add() before calling
device_add_disk(). If device_add_disk() fails after device_add()
succeeds, the error path calls rbd_free_disk() directly and then later
falls through to rbd_dev_device_release(), which calls rbd_free_disk()
again. This double teardown can leave blk-mq cleanup operating on
invalid state and trigger a null-ptr-deref in
__blk_mq_free_map_and_rqs(), reached from blk_mq_free_tag_set().

Fix this by following the normal remove ordering: call device_del()
before rbd_dev_device_release() when device_add_disk() fails after
device_add(). That keeps the teardown sequence consistent and avoids
re-entering disk cleanup through the wrong path.

The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available.

We reproduced the bug on v7.0 with a real Ceph backend and a QEMU x86_64
guest booted with KASAN and CONFIG_FAILSLAB enabled. The reproducer
confines failslab injections to the __add_disk() range and injects
fail-nth while mapping an RBD image through
/sys/bus/rbd/add_single_major.

On the unpatched kernel, fail-nth=4 reliably triggered the fault:

<id>urn:sha1:41ededf7ef153762f9f24fe1a566a692f1366898</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bd3884a204c3b507e6baa9a4091aa927f9af5404 upstream.

Similar to commit 870611e4877e ("rbd: get snapshot context after
exclusive lock is ensured to be held"), move the "beyond EOD" check
into the image request state machine so that it's performed after
exclusive lock is ensured to be held.  This avoids various race
conditions which can arise when the image is shrunk under I/O (in
practice, mostly readahead).  In one such scenario

    rbd_assert(objno &lt; rbd_dev-&gt;object_map_size);

can be triggered if a close-to-EOD read gets queued right before the
shrink is initiated and the EOD check is performed against an outdated
mapping_size.  After the resize is done on the server side and exclusive
lock is (re)acquired bringing along the new (now shrunk) object map, the
read starts going through the state machine and rbd_obj_may_exist() gets
invoked on an object that is out of bounds of rbd_dev-&gt;object_map array.

<id>urn:sha1:3ceccb14f5576e02b81cc8b105ab81f224bd87f6</id>
<content type='text'>
Expanding on the previous commit, assuming that rbd_is_lock_owner()
always returns true (i.e. that we are either in RBD_LOCK_STATE_LOCKED
or RBD_LOCK_STATE_QUIESCING) if the mapping is exclusive is wrong too.
In case ceph_cls_set_cookie() fails, the lock would be temporarily
released even if the mapping is exclusive, meaning that we can end up
even in RBD_LOCK_STATE_UNLOCKED.

IOW, exclusive mappings are really "just" about disabling automatic
lock transitions (as documented in the man page), not about grabbing
the lock and holding on to it whatever it takes.

<content type='text'>
Every time a watch is reestablished after getting lost, we need to
update the cookie which involves quiescing exclusive lock.  For this,
we transition from RBD_LOCK_STATE_LOCKED to RBD_LOCK_STATE_QUIESCING
roughly for the duration of rbd_reacquire_lock() call.  If the mapping
is exclusive and I/O happens to arrive in this time window, it's failed
with EROFS (later translated to EIO) based on the wrong assumption in
rbd_img_exclusive_lock() -- "lock got released?" check there stopped
making sense with commit a2b1da09793d ("rbd: lock should be quiesced on
reacquire").

To make it worse, any such I/O is added to the acquiring list before
EROFS is returned and this sets up for violating rbd_lock_del_request()
precondition that the request is either on the running list or not on
any list at all -- see commit ded080c86b3f ("rbd: don't move requests
to the running list on errors").  rbd_lock_del_request() ends up
processing these requests as if they were on the running list which
screws up quiescing_wait completion counter and ultimately leads to

    rbd_assert(!completion_done(&amp;rbd_dev-&gt;quiescing_wait));

being triggered on the next watch error.

... to RBD_LOCK_STATE_QUIESCING and quiescing_wait to recognize that
this state and the associated completion are backing rbd_quiesce_lock(),
which isn't specific to releasing the lock.

While exclusive lock does get quiesced before it's released, it also
gets quiesced before an attempt to update the cookie is made and there
the lock is not released as long as ceph_cls_set_cookie() succeeds.

Move the stable_writes flag into the queue_limits feature field so that
it can be set atomically with the queue frozen.

The flag is now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which greatly simplifies
the code in dm, and fixed md which previously did not pass on the flag
set on lower devices.

Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.

Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.

For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change.  There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).

The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

The soft max_sectors limit is normally capped by the hardware limits and
an arbitrary upper limit enforced by the kernel, but can be modified by
the user.  A few drivers want to increase this limit (nbd, rbd) or
adjust it up or down based on hardware capabilities (sd).

Change blk_validate_limits to default max_sectors to the optimal I/O
size, or upgrade it to the preferred minimal I/O size if that is
larger than the kernel default if no optimal I/O size is provided based
on the logic in the SD driver.

This keeps the existing kernel default for drivers that do not provide
an io_opt or very big io_min value, but picks a much more useful
default for those who provide these hints, and allows to remove the
hacks to set the user max_sectors limit in nbd, rbd and sd.
