<id>urn:sha1:c9553e0567b0b843c15cacac62e2ff87bfdaa3ea</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0898a817621a2f0cddca8122d9b974003fe5036d ]

The cdrom core never calls set_disk_ro() for a registered device, so
BLKROGET on a CD-ROM device always returns 0 (writable), even when the
drive has no write capabilities and writes will inevitably fail. This
causes problems for userspace that relies on BLKROGET to determine
whether a block device is read-only. For example, systemd's loop device
setup uses BLKROGET to decide whether to create a loop device with
LO_FLAGS_READ_ONLY. Without the read-only flag, writes pass through the
loop device to the CD-ROM and fail with I/O errors. systemd-fsck
similarly checks BLKROGET to decide whether to run fsck in no-repair
mode (-n).

The write-capability bits in cdi-&gt;mask come from two different sources:
CDC_DVD_RAM and CDC_CD_RW are populated by the driver from the MODE
SENSE capabilities page (page 0x2A) before register_cdrom() is called,
while CDC_MRW_W and CDC_RAM require the MMC GET CONFIGURATION command
and were only probed by cdrom_open_write() at device open time. This
meant that any attempt to compute the writable state from the full
mask at probe time was incorrect, because the GET CONFIGURATION bits
were still unset (and cdi-&gt;mask is initialized such that capabilities
are assumed present).

Fix this by factoring the GET CONFIGURATION probing out of
cdrom_open_write() into a new exported helper,
cdrom_probe_write_features(), and having sr call it from sr_probe()
right after get_capabilities() has populated the MODE SENSE bits.
register_cdrom() then calls set_disk_ro() based on the full
write-capability mask (CDC_DVD_RAM | CDC_MRW_W | CDC_RAM | CDC_CD_RW)
so the block layer reflects the drive's actual write support. The
feature queries used (CDF_MRW and CDF_RWRT via GET CONFIGURATION with
RT=00) report drive-level capabilities that are persistent across
media, so a single probe before register_cdrom() is sufficient and the
redundant probe at open time is dropped.

With set_disk_ro() now accurate, the long-vestigial cd-&gt;writeable flag
in sr can go: get_capabilities() used to set cd-&gt;writeable based on
the same four mask bits, but because CDC_MRW_W and CDC_RAM default to
"capability present" in cdi-&gt;mask and aren't touched by MODE SENSE,
the condition that gated cd-&gt;writeable was always true, making it
unconditionally 1. Replace the corresponding gate in sr_init_command()
with get_disk_ro(cd-&gt;disk), which turns a previously no-op check into
a real one and also catches kernel-internal bio writers that bypass
blkdev_write_iter()'s bdev_read_only() check.

The sd driver (SCSI disks) does not have this problem because it
checks the MODE SENSE Write Protect bit and calls set_disk_ro()
accordingly. The sr driver cannot use the same approach because the
MMC specification does not define the WP bit in the MODE SENSE
device-specific parameter byte for CD-ROM devices.

Reinstate the rotational media flag for the CD-ROM driver. The flag has
been cleared since commit bd4a633b6f7c ("block: move the nonrot flag to
queue_limits") and this breaks some applications.

Move queue limit configuration from get_sectorsize() to
sr_revalidate_disk() and set the rotational flag.

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

Assign all queue limits through a local queue_limits variable and
queue_limits_commit_update so that we can't race updating them from
multiple places, and free the queue when updating them so that
in-progress I/O submissions don't see half-updated limits.

Also use the chance to clean up variable names to standard ones.

This has get_sectorsize() have the SCSI midlayer retry errors instead of
driving them itself.

There is one behavior change where we no longer retry when
scsi_execute_cmd() returns &lt; 0, but we should be ok. We don't need to retry
for failures like the queue being removed, and for the case where there are
no tags/reqs the block layer waits/retries for us. For possible memory
allocation failures from blk_rq_map_kern() we use GFP_NOIO, so retrying
will probably not help.

If scsi_execute_cmd returns &lt; 0, it doesn't initialize the sshdr, so we
shouldn't access the sshdr. If it returns 0, then the cmd executed
successfully, so there is no need to check the sshdr. This has us access
the sshdr when we get a return value &gt; 0.
