<id>urn:sha1:14dd80a20a72ce334adcc2d67402360527065948</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9eed1bd59937e6828b00d2f2dfef631d964f3636 upstream.

drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_ctlr.c::fcoe_ctlr_recv_clr_vlink() advanced the
descriptor cursor by an attacker-supplied fip_dlen without ever
requiring dlen &gt;= sizeof(struct fip_desc) in the default branch.  The
named descriptor cases (FIP_DT_MAC, FIP_DT_NAME, FIP_DT_VN_ID) checked
their per-type minimum lengths, but a FIP_DT_NON_CRITICAL descriptor
(fip_dtype &gt;= 128, which the standard requires receivers to silently
ignore) skipped that check entirely.

An unauthenticated L2 peer on the FCoE control VLAN could hang
fcoe_ctlr_recv_work on an fcoe, qedf, or bnx2fc initiator indefinitely
by emitting one FIP CVL frame whose single descriptor had fip_dtype ==
FIP_DT_NON_CRITICAL and fip_dlen == 0: the cursor advanced zero bytes
per iteration and the loop condition rlen &gt;= sizeof(*desc) stayed true
forever, blocking every subsequent FIP frame on that controller.

Tighten the outer dlen guard to also reject dlen &lt; sizeof(struct
fip_desc), so a malformed descriptor whose length cannot even cover the
descriptor header is rejected before the switch.  This is the same
lower-bound the named cases already apply and is the minimum scope that
closes the loop.

Fixes: 97c8389d54b9 ("[SCSI] fcoe, libfcoe: Add support for FIP. FCoE discovery and keep-alive.")

<content type='text'>
The function fcoe_select_cpu() is just used to distribute incoming skbs
which start a new FC command sequence. But the network stack already
received (and processed) that skb, and there is a _really_ good chance
that all subsequent skbs for this sequence will be handled with the same
CPU. So we should just use the CPU on which this skb was allocated on and
save ourselves some overhead due to pointless scheduling.

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

<id>urn:sha1:ed638918f4df39daa458435f0825b487c1f192c8</id>
<content type='text'>
Rename .slave_alloc() into .sdev_init() and .slave_destroy() into
.sdev_destroy(). The new names make it clear that these are actions on
SCSI devices. Make this change in the SCSI core, SCSI drivers and also
in the ATA drivers. No functionality has been changed.

This patch has been created as follows:
* Change the text "slave_alloc" into "sdev_init" in all source files
  except those in drivers/net/ and Documentation/.
* Change the text "slave_destroy" into "sdev_destroy" in all source
  files except those in drivers/net/ and Documentation/.
* Rename lpfc_no_slave() into lpfc_no_sdev().
* Manually adjust whitespace where necessary to restore vertical
  alignment (dc395x driver and include/linux/libata.h).

Ability to handle maximum FCoE frames of 2158 bytes can never be changed
and thus more of an attribute, not a toggleable feature.
Move it from netdev_features_t to "cold" priv flags (bitfield bool) and
free yet another feature bit.

<content type='text'>
The workqueue maintainer wants to remove the create*_workqueue() macros
because these macros always set the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag and because these
only support literal workqueue names. Hence this patch that replaces the
create*_workqueue() invocations with the definition of this macro. The
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been retained because I think that flag is necessary
for workqueues created by storage drivers. This patch has been generated by
running spatch and git clang-format. spatch has been invoked as follows:

spatch --in-place --sp-file expand-create-workqueue.spatch $(git grep -lEw 'create_(freezable_|singlethread_|)workqueue' */scsi */ufs)

The contents of the expand-create-workqueue.spatch file is as follows:

@@
expression name;
@@
-create_workqueue(name)
+alloc_workqueue("%s", WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, 1, name)

<title>driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d69d804845985c29ab5be5a4b3b1f4787893daf8</id>
<content type='text'>
In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.
