<title>drbd: Fix kernel_sendmsg() usage - potential NULL deref</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d8e9e5e80e882b4f90cba7edf1e6cb7376e52e54</id>
<content type='text'>
Don't pass a size larger than iov_len to kernel_sendmsg().
Otherwise it will cause a NULL pointer deref when kernel_sendmsg()
returns with rv &lt; size.

DRBD as external module has been around in the kernel 2.4 days already.
We used to be compatible to 2.4 and very early 2.6 kernels,
we used to use
 rv = sock_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, iov.iov_len);
then later changed to
 rv = kernel_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, &amp;iov, 1, size);
when we should have used
 rv = kernel_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, &amp;iov, 1, iov.iov_len);

tcp_sendmsg() used to totally ignore the size parameter.
 57be5bd ip: convert tcp_sendmsg() to iov_iter primitives
changes that, and exposes our long standing error.

Even with this error exposed, to trigger the bug, we would need to have
an environment (config or otherwise) causing us to not use sendpage()
for larger transfers, a failing connection, and have it fail "just at the
right time".  Apparently that was unlikely enough for most, so this went
unnoticed for years.

Still, it is known to trigger at least some of these,
and suspected for the others:
[0] http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2016-July/023112.html
[1] http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-dev/2016-March/003362.html
[2] https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=4546
[3] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2336150
[4] http://e2.howsolveproblem.com/i/1175162/

This should go into 4.9,
and into all stable branches since and including v4.0,
which is the first to contain the exposing change.

It is correct for all stable branches older than that as well
(which contain the DRBD driver; which is 2.6.33 and up).

It requires a small "conflict" resolution for v4.4 and earlier, with v4.5
we dropped the comment block immediately preceding the kernel_sendmsg().

<title>block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1eff9d322a444245c67515edb52bc0eb68374aa8</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

kernel.h header doesn't directly use dynamic debug, instead we can
include it in module.c (which used it via kernel.h).  printk.h only uses
it if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is on, changing the inclusion to only happen
in that case.

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Probably the most interesting part long-term is -&gt;d_init() - that will
  have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
  need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
  really non-trivial stuff.

  Another fun thing is the merge of -&gt;d_iput() callers (dentry_iput()
  and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of -&gt;d_compare() ones (all
  except the one in __d_lookup_lru())"

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
  that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We
  often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
  always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
  when that happens.

  That said, this contains:

   - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
     Christoph.

   - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

   - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
     op/flags change in the core branch.

   - map and append request fixes from Christoph.

   - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.  This is pretty
     exciting!

   - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.

   - removal of -&gt;driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
     device_add_disk() helper.

   - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.

   - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.

   - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.

   - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.

   - mg_disk error path fix from Bart.

   - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.

   - NVMe in general:
        + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
        + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
        + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
        + use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.
        + cancel IO fixes from Ming.
        + don't allocate unused major, from Neil.
        + error code fixup from Dan.
        + use constants for PSDT/FUSE from James.
        + variable init fix from Jay.
        + fabrics fixes from Ming, Sagi, and Wei.
        + various fixes"

<content type='text'>
These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces.  For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense.  Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD.  Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

crypto_alloc_hash returns an ERR_PTR(), not NULL.

Also reset peer_integrity_tfm to NULL, to not call crypto_free_hash()
on an errno in the cleanup path.

<title>drbd: al_write_transaction: skip re-scanning of bitmap page pointer array</title>

<content type='text'>
For larger devices, the array of bitmap page pointers can grow very
large (8000 pointers per TB of storage).

For each activity log transaction, we need to flush the associated
bitmap pages to stable storage. Currently, we just "mark" the respective
pages while setting up the transaction, then tell the bitmap code to
write out all marked pages, but skip unchanged pages.

But one such transaction can affect only a small number of bitmap pages,
there is no need to scan the full array of several (ten-)thousand
page pointers to find the few marked ones.

Instead, remember the index numbers of the few affected pages,
and later only re-check those to skip duplicates and unchanged ones.
