libata: reject passthrough WRITE SAME requests
commit c6ade20f5e50e188d20b711a618b20dd1d50457e upstream. The WRITE SAME to TRIM translation rewrites the DATA OUT buffer. While the SCSI code accomodates for this by passing a read-writable buffer userspace applications don't cater for this behavior. In fact it can be used to rewrite e.g. a readonly file through mmap and should be considered as a security fix. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Open-code blk_rq_is_passthrough() - We don't distinguish which field is invaid so goto invalid_fld - Adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
