<id>urn:sha1:7c3aad8c18ea532a2c47d8727c93d9a5d0023334</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 829451beaed6165eb11d7a9fb4e28eb17f489980 upstream.

There's a tiny race condition in dm-mirror. The functions queue_bio and
write_callback grab a spinlock, add a bio to the list, drop the spinlock
and wake up the mirrord thread that processes bios in the list.

It may be possible that the mirrord thread processes the bio just after
spin_unlock_irqrestore is called, before wakeup_mirrord. This spurious
wake-up is normally harmless, however if the device mapper device is
unloaded just after the bio was processed, it may be possible that
wakeup_mirrord(ms) uses invalid "ms" pointer.

Fix this bug by moving wakeup_mirrord inside the spinlock.

[ Upstream commit 6e5f0f6383b4896c7e9b943d84b136149d0f45e9 ]

Some IO will dispatch from kworker with different io_context settings
than the submitting task, we may need to specify a priority to avoid
losing priority.

Add IO priority parameter to dm_io() and update all callers.

Combine the bi_op and bi_op_flags into the bi_opf member. Use the new
blk_opf_t type to improve static type checking. This patch does not
change any functionality.

<title>dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement</title>
<updated>2021-08-10T17:34:23+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:8ec456629d0bf051e41ef2c87a60755f941dd11c</id>
<content type='text'>
For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.

Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
 01. cache
 02. crypt
 03. integrity
 04. linear
 05. mirror
 06. multipath
 07. raid
 08. snapshot
 09. striped
 10. verity

For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.

For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.

/etc/ima/ima-policy
 measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf

The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:

/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements

These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.

The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.

The functions set_bit and clear_bit are atomic. We don't need
atomicity when making flags for dm-kcopyd. So, change them to direct
manipulation of the flags.

Replace the gendisk pointer in struct bio with a pointer to the newly
improved struct block device.  From that the gendisk can be trivially
accessed with an extra indirection, but it also allows to directly
look up all information related to partition remapping.

generic_make_request has always been very confusingly misnamed, so rename
it to submit_bio_noacct to make it clear that it is submit_bio minus
accounting and a few checks.
