commit bd504bcfec41a503b32054da5472904b404341a4 upstream.

The kvmalloc function fails with a warning if the size is larger than
INT_MAX. The warning was triggered by a syscall testing robot.

In order to avoid the warning, this commit limits the number of targets to
1048576 and the size of the parameter area to 1073741824.

<title>dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6007dce0cd35d634d9be91ef3515a6385dcee16</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a race condition in the multipath target when retrieve_deps
races with multipath_message calling dm_get_device and dm_put_device.
retrieve_deps walks the list of open devices without holding any lock
but multipath may add or remove devices to the list while it is
running. The end result may be memory corruption or use-after-free
memory access.

See this description of a UAF with multipath_message():
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2022-October/052373.html

Fix this bug by introducing a new rw semaphore "devices_lock". We grab
devices_lock for read in retrieve_deps and we grab it for write in
dm_get_device and dm_put_device.

<title>block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags</title>

<content type='text'>
The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

<title>dm: only call early_lookup_bdev from early boot context</title>

<content type='text'>
early_lookup_bdev is supposed to only be called from the early boot
code, but dm_get_device calls it as a general fallback when lookup_bdev
fails, which is problematic because early_lookup_bdev bypasses all normal
path based permission checking, and might cause problems with certain
container environments renaming devices.

Switch to only call early_lookup_bdev when dm is built-in and the system
state in not running yet.  This means it is still available when tables
are constructed by dm-init.c from the kernel command line, but not
otherwise.

Note that this strictly speaking changes the kernel ABI as the PARTUUID=
and PARTLABEL= style syntax is now not available during a running
systems.  They never were intended for that, but this breaks things
we'll have to figure out a way to make them available again.  But if
avoidable in any way I'd rather avoid that.

name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear
it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad
calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of
errors.  Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear,
and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be
parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was
no device found for it.

Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block
root cases are always covered in the caller.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Split dm-bufio's rw_semaphore and rbtree. Offers improvements to
   dm-bufio's locking to allow increased concurrent IO -- particularly
   for read access for buffers already in dm-bufio's cache.

 - Also split dm-bio-prison-v1's spinlock and rbtree with comparable aim
   at improving concurrent IO (for the DM thinp target).

 - Both the dm-bufio and dm-bio-prison-v1 scaling of the number of locks
   and rbtrees used are managed by dm_num_hash_locks(). And the hash
   function used by both is dm_hash_locks_index().

 - Allow DM targets to require DISCARD, WRITE_ZEROES and SECURE_ERASE to
   be split at the target specified boundary (in terms of
   max_discard_sectors, max_write_zeroes_sectors and
   max_secure_erase_sectors respectively).

 - DM verity error handling fix for check_at_most_once on FEC.

 - Update DM verity target to emit audit events on verification failure
   and more.

 - DM core -&gt;io_hints improvements needed in support of new discard
   support that is added to the DM "zero" and "error" targets.

 - Fix missing kmem_cache_destroy() call in initialization error path of
   both the DM integrity and DM clone targets.

 - A couple fixes for DM flakey, also add "error_reads" feature.

 - Fix DM core's resume to not lock FS when the DM map is NULL;
   otherwise initial table load can race with FS mount that takes
   superblock's -&gt;s_umount rw_semaphore.

 - Various small improvements to both DM core and DM targets.

In dm_calculate_queue_limits, add call to -&gt;io_hints hook if the
target doesn't provide -&gt;iterate_devices.

This is needed so the "error" and "zero" targets may support
discards. The 2 following commits will add their respective discard
support.

blk_crypto_evict_key() is only called in contexts such as inode eviction
where failure is not an option.  So there is nothing the caller can do
with errors except log them.  (dm-table.c does "use" the error code, but
only to pass on to upper layers, so it doesn't really count.)

Just make blk_crypto_evict_key() return void and log errors itself.
