commit 7f40b346462f563a0d6e841a77b5163d2a882a04 upstream.

fmt_buffer_size in dasd_eckd_check_device_format() is declared as
int, even though one of the multiplicands, sizeof(struct eckd_count),
is a size_t. The expression

    trkcount * rpt_max * sizeof(struct eckd_count)

is therefore correctly evaluated at 64-bit width, but the result is
silently truncated when it is stored back into the 32-bit
fmt_buffer_size variable. For a sufficiently large track range
(start_unit/stop_unit are caller-controlled) this truncation
yields a buffer size far smaller than the number of tracks actually
requested. kzalloc() then succeeds with an undersized allocation,
while the subsequent channel program build still operates on the
untruncated track count and writes past the end of that buffer.

Compute the buffer size with check_mul_overflow() and keep it in a
size_t, so that a value that no longer fits results in -EINVAL
instead of a silently truncated allocation size.

commit 9973026f572db6b67570cadc30942f3014e41079 upstream.

dasd_release_space() checks the implementation of the is_ese()
discipline function before calling it to determine if a given device is
an ESE DASD.

The current usage of the logical AND operator will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference as the function is called even if the function
pointer is NULL.

Fix this by using the logical OR operator.

<title>s390/dasd: Copy detected format information to secondary device</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4c527c7e030672efd788d0806d7a68972a7ba3c1 upstream.

During online processing for a DASD device an IO operation is started to
determine the format of the device. CDL format contains specifically
sized blocks at the beginning of the disk.

For a PPRC secondary device no real IO operation is possible therefore
this IO request can not be started and this step is skipped for online
processing of secondary devices. This is generally fine since the
secondary is a copy of the primary device.

In case of an additional partition detection that is run after a swap
operation the format information is needed to properly drive partition
detection IO.

Currently the information is not passed leading to IO errors during
partition detection and a wrongly detected partition table which in turn
might lead to data corruption on the disk with the wrong partition table.

Fix by passing the format information from primary to secondary device.

<title>s390/dasd: Move quiesce state with pprc swap</title>

commit 40e9cd4ae8ec43b107ed2bff422a8fa39dcf4e4b upstream.

Quiesce and resume is a mechanism to suspend operations on DASD devices.
In the context of a controlled copy pair swap operation, the quiesce
operation is usually issued before the actual swap and a resume
afterwards.

During the swap operation, the underlying device is exchanged. Therefore,
the quiesce flag must be moved to the secondary device to ensure a
consistent quiesce state after the swap.

The secondary device itself cannot be suspended separately because there
is no separate block device representation for it.

commit c943bfc6afb8d0e781b9b7406f36caa8bbf95cb9 upstream.

After a copy pair swap the block device's "device" symlink points to
the secondary CCW device, but the gendisk's parent remained the
primary, leaving /sys/block/&lt;dasdx&gt; under the wrong parent.

Move the gendisk to the secondary's device with device_move(), keeping
the sysfs topology consistent after the swap.

     - Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
     - Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
     - Target lockdep assertions (Max)
     - Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
     - Suspend quirk (Georg)

 - MD pull request via Yu:
     - Add support for a lockless bitmap.

       A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
       lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
       bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
       to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
       writes.

       By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
       case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
       need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

 - Switch -&gt;getgeo() and -&gt;bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
   than struct block_device.

 - Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
   configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
   includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
   cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.

   The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
   `kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
   to support the same use as the removed logic.

 - floppy arch cleanups

 - Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands

 - Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
   of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
   setups.

 - A few s390 dasd block fixes

 - Fix a few issues around atomic writes

 - Improve DMA interation for integrity requests

 - Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
   constraints.

   We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
   only the request as a whole needs to.

 - Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
   payloads

 - Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate

 - Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections

 - Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs

 - Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device

 - Various fixes and cleanups

<content type='text'>
The block layer validates buffer alignment using the device's
dma_alignment value. If dma_alignment is smaller than
logical_block_size(bp_block) -1, misaligned buffer incorrectly pass
validation and propagate to the lower-level driver.

This patch adjusts dma_alignment to be at least logical_block_size -1,
ensuring that misalignment buffers are properly rejected at the block
layer and do not reach the DASD driver unnecessarily.

<content type='text'>
Currently, if CCW request creation fails with -EINVAL, the DASD driver
returns BLK_STS_IOERR to the block layer.

This can happen, for example, when a user-space application such as QEMU
passes a misaligned buffer, but the original cause of the error is
masked as a generic I/O error.

This patch changes the behavior so that -EINVAL is returned as
BLK_STS_INVAL, allowing user space to properly detect alignment issues
instead of interpreting them as I/O errors.

With ZONE_DEVICE now available for s390, struct pages can be allocated
for proper DAX support in dcssblk driver via devm_memremap_pages().

Adding struct pages for a range requires that the range is aligned to
SUBSECTION_SIZE, which is defined as 2 MB in common code. Therefore,
only enable DAX support and allocate struct pages for DCSS ranges that
are aligned to 2 MB.

Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway -
the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given
is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller.

Everything else is a function of the disk.  Only one instance
(DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev-&gt;bd_disk and
that one is trivial to adjust.
