[ Upstream commit 91c5746425aed8f7188a351f1224a26aa232e4b3 ]

Some network drivers use a non default hard_header_len

Transmitted skb should take into account dev-&gt;hard_header_len, or risk
crashes or expensive reallocations.

In the case of aoe, lets reserve MAX_HEADER bytes.

David reported a crash in defxx driver, solved by this patch.

<title>loop: prevent bdev freeing while device in use</title>

<id>urn:sha1:be279f777b6e4dc45ab02d7d89274e2302777093</id>

commit c1681bf8a7b1b98edee8b862a42c19c4e53205fd upstream.

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".

But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
  bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0
  loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop]
  lo_ioctl+0x200/0x7e0 [loop]
  lo_compat_ioctl+0x47/0xe0 [loop]
  compat_blkdev_ioctl+0x341/0x1290
  do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0
  compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20
  do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0
  sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a

To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().

The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
  while [ true ]; do
    losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
    echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    losetup -d /dev/loop0
  done

[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
  time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device-&gt;lo_state is
  Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
  it will get EBUSY.  And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
  device we'll get ENXIO.

  loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
  loop_device-&gt;lo_ctl_mutex. ]

commit 0e5e098ac22dae38f957e951b70d3cf73beff0f7 upstream.

Commit 7708992 ("xen/blkback: Seperate the bio allocation and the bio
submission") consolidated the pendcnt updates to just a single write,
neglecting the fact that the error path relied on it getting set to 1
up front (such that the decrement in __end_block_io_op() would actually
drop the count to zero, triggering the necessary cleanup actions).

Also remove a misleading and a stale (after said commit) comment.

commit b1a6650406875b9097a032eed89af50682fe1160 upstream.

When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter,
loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which
will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some
garbage in the misc device list.

Test case:
sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024
(failed due to invalid parameter)
sudo modprobe loop
(oops)

Clean up nicely to avoid such oops.

commit 5370019dc2d2c2ff90e95d181468071362934f3a upstream.

bd_mutex and lo_ctl_mutex can be held in different order.

Path #1:

blkdev_open
 blkdev_get
  __blkdev_get (hold bd_mutex)
   lo_open (hold lo_ctl_mutex)

Path #2:

blkdev_ioctl
 lo_ioctl (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
  lo_set_capacity (hold bd_mutex)

Lockdep does not report it, because path #2 actually holds a subclass of
lo_ctl_mutex.  This subclass seems creep into the code by mistake.  The
patch author actually just mentioned it in the changelog, see commit
f028f3b2 ("loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()"), also see:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=123806169129727&amp;w=2

Path #2 hold bd_mutex to call bd_set_size(), I've protected it
with i_mutex in a previous patch, so drop bd_mutex at this site.

<title>nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdown</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4189aa4ceebb1cd2b216d88980e35399e299c8c5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3a2d63f87989e01437ba994df5f297528c353d7d upstream.

There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.

1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.

   This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
   NBD_DISCONNECT handler.  This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
   to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
   possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
   either).

2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
   come from the same backing storage.

   The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
   clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
   page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.

Example:

    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
    # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.

While /dev/sda has:

    # file -s /dev/sda
    /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc.

commit 9d092603cc306ee6edfe917bf9ab8beb5f32d7bc upstream.

"be-&gt;mode" is obtained from xenbus_read(), which does a kmalloc() for
the message body. The short string is never released, so do it along
with freeing "be" itself, and make sure the string isn't kept when
backend_changed() doesn't complete successfully (which made it
desirable to slightly re-structure that function, so that the error
cleanup can be done in one place).

<title>virtio-blk: Don't free ida when disk is in use</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f4953fe6c4aeada2d5cafd78aa97587a46d2d8f9 upstream.

When a file system is mounted on a virtio-blk disk, we then remove it
and then reattach it, the reattached disk gets the same disk name and
ids as the hot removed one.

This leads to very nasty effects - mostly rendering the newly attached
device completely unusable.

Trying what happens when I do the same thing with a USB device, I saw
that the sd node simply doesn't get free'd when a device gets forcefully
removed.

Imitate the same behavior for vd devices. This way broken vd devices
simply are never free'd and newly attached ones keep working just fine.
