<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.

<content type='text'>
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

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.

<title>block: fix an integer overflow in logical block size</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ad6bf88a6c19a39fb3b0045d78ea880325dfcf15</id>
<content type='text'>
Logical block size has type unsigned short. That means that it can be at
most 32768. However, there are architectures that can run with 64k pages
(for example arm64) and on these architectures, it may be possible to
create block devices with 64k block size.

For exmaple (run this on an architecture with 64k pages):

Mount will fail with this error because it tries to read the superblock using 2-sector
access:
  device-mapper: writecache: I/O is not aligned, sector 2, size 1024, block size 65536
  EXT4-fs (dm-0): unable to read superblock

This patch changes the logical block size from unsigned short to unsigned
int to avoid the overflow.

<content type='text'>
Move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/ so that external GPL'd DM target
modules can use it.

It is better to allow the use of dm-bufio than force external modules
to implement the equivalent buffered IO mechanism in some new way.  The
hope is this will encourage the use of dm-bufio; which will then make it
easier for a GPL'd external DM target module to be included upstream.

A couple dm-bufio EXPORT_SYMBOL exports have also been updated to use
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Commit b685d3d65ac7 ("block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions.  generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.

Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

directly.  Where applicable this also drops usage of the
