[ Upstream commit 2b31e86387e60b3689339f0f0fbb4d3623d9d494 ]

Make drbd_adm_dump_devices() call rcu_read_lock() before
rcu_read_unlock() is called. This has been detected by the Clang
thread-safety analyzer.

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

<id>urn:sha1:78bd0c143dea4b7a4c23c13356987ca0eafb442e</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:

[ Upstream commit c258f5c4502c9667bccf5d76fa731ab9c96687c1 ]

When one process(such as udev) opens ublk block device (e.g., to read
the partition table via bdev_open()), a deadlock[1] can occur:

1. bdev_open() grabs disk-&gt;open_mutex
2. The process issues read I/O to ublk backend to read partition table
3. In __ublk_complete_rq(), blk_update_request() or blk_mq_end_request()
   runs bio-&gt;bi_end_io() callbacks
4. If this triggers fput() on file descriptor of ublk block device, the
   work may be deferred to current task's task work (see fput() implementation)
5. This eventually calls blkdev_release() from the same context
6. blkdev_release() tries to grab disk-&gt;open_mutex again
7. Deadlock: same task waiting for a mutex it already holds

The fix is to run blk_update_request() and blk_mq_end_request() with bottom
halves disabled. This forces blkdev_release() to run in kernel work-queue
context instead of current task work context, and allows ublk server to make
forward progress, and avoids the deadlock.

<id>urn:sha1:7752569fc78e89794ce28946529850282233f99d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ab140365fb62c0bdab22b2f516aff563b2559e3b upstream.

Even though we check that we "should" be able to do lc_get_cumulative()
while holding the device-&gt;al_lock spinlock, it may still fail,
if some other code path decided to do lc_try_lock() with bad timing.

If that happened, we logged "LOGIC BUG for enr=...",
but still did not return an error.

The rest of the code now assumed that this request has references
for the relevant activity log extents.

The implcations are that during an active resync, mutual exclusivity of
resync versus application IO is not guaranteed. And a potential crash
at this point may not realizs that these extents could have been target
of in-flight IO and would need to be resynced just in case.

Also, once the request completes, it will give up activity log references it
does not even hold, which will trigger a BUG_ON(refcnt == 0) in lc_put().

Fix:

Do not crash the kernel for a condition that is harmless during normal
operation: also catch "e-&gt;refcnt == 0", not only "e == NULL"
when being noisy about "al_complete_io() called on inactive extent %u\n".

And do not try to be smart and "guess" whether something will work, then
be surprised when it does not.
Deal with the fact that it may or may not work.  If it does not, remember a
possible "partially in activity log" state (only possible for requests that
cross extent boundaries), and return an error code from
drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock().

A latter call for the same request will then resume from where we left off.

<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.

Since commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void")
forces bus_type::remove be void-returned, it doesn't make much sense for
any bus based driver implementing remove callbalk to return non-void to
its caller.

This change is for xen bus based drivers.

<content type='text'>
commit 82d20481024cbae2ea87fe8b86d12961bfda7169 upstream.

For years I wondered why the floppy driver does not just work on
sparc64, e.g:

root@SUNW_375_0066:# disktype /dev/fd0
disktype: Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address

[  525.341906] disktype: attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, sector=0, nr_sectors = 16 limit=8
[  525.341991] floppy: error 10 while reading block 0

Turns out floppy.c __floppy_read_block_0 tries to read one page for
the first test read to determine the disk size and thus fails if that
is greater than 4k. Adjust minimum MAX_DISK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE to fix
floppy on sparc64 and likely all other PAGE_SIZE != 4KB configs.

[ Upstream commit 1ddb815fdfd45613c32e9bd1f7137428f298e541 ]

The "dev-&gt;clt_device_id" variable is set using ida_alloc_max() which
returns an int and in particular it returns negative error codes.
Change the type from u32 to int to fix the error checking.
