commit 65eea8edc315589d6c993cf12dbb5d0e9ef1fe4e upstream.

The final field of a floppy_struct is the field "name", which is a pointer
to a string in kernel memory.  The kernel pointer should not be copied to
user memory.  The FDGETPRM ioctl copies a floppy_struct to user memory,
including this "name" field.  This pointer cannot be used by the user
and it will leak a kernel address to user-space, which will reveal the
location of kernel code and data and undermine KASLR protection.

Model this code after the compat ioctl which copies the returned data
to a previously cleared temporary structure on the stack (excluding the
name pointer) and copy out to userspace from there.  As we already have
an inparam union with an appropriate member and that memory is already
cleared even for read only calls make use of that as a temporary store.

Based on an initial patch by Brian Belleville.

commit d3349b6b3c373ac1fbfb040b810fcee5e2adc7e0 upstream.

syzbot is hitting WARN() triggered by memory allocation fault
injection [1] because loop module is calling sysfs_remove_group()
when sysfs_create_group() failed.
Fix this by remembering whether sysfs_create_group() succeeded.

<title>loop: add recursion validation to LOOP_CHANGE_FD</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d2ac838e4cd7e5e9891ecc094d626734b0245c99 upstream.

Refactor the validation code used in LOOP_SET_FD so it is also used in
LOOP_CHANGE_FD.  Otherwise it is possible to construct a set of loop
devices that all refer to each other.  This can lead to a infinite
loop in starting with "while (is_loop_device(f)) .." in loop_set_fd().

Fix this by refactoring out the validation code and using it for
LOOP_CHANGE_FD as well as LOOP_SET_FD.

<title>drbd: fix access after free</title>

<id>urn:sha1:df0fe72e2e1f18da3d045f0211b2c833d22578ff</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 64dafbc9530c10300acffc57fae3269d95fa8f93 upstream.

We have
  struct drbd_requests { ... struct bio *private_bio;  ... }
to hold a bio clone for local submission.

On local IO completion, we put that bio, and in case we want to use the
result later, we overload that member to hold the ERR_PTR() of the
completion result,

Which, before v4.3, used to be the passed in "int error",
so we could first bio_put(), then assign.

v4.3-rc1~100^2~21 4246a0b63bd8 block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
changed that:
  	bio_put(req-&gt;private_bio);
 -	req-&gt;private_bio = ERR_PTR(error);
 +	req-&gt;private_bio = ERR_PTR(bio-&gt;bi_error);

Which introduces an access after free,
because it was non obvious that req-&gt;private_bio == bio.

Impact of that was mostly unnoticable, because we only use that value
in a multiple-failure case, and even then map any "unexpected" error
code to EIO, so worst case we could potentially mask a more specific
error with EIO in a multiple failure case.

Unless the pointed to memory region was unmapped, as is the case with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, in which case this results in

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request

v4.13-rc1~70^2~75 4e4cbee93d56 block: switch bios to blk_status_t
changes it further to
  	bio_put(req-&gt;private_bio);
  	req-&gt;private_bio = ERR_PTR(blk_status_to_errno(bio-&gt;bi_status));

And blk_status_to_errno() now contains a WARN_ON_ONCE() for unexpected
values, which catches this "sometimes", if the memory has been reused
quickly enough for other things.

Should also go into stable since 4.3, with the trivial change around 4.13.

super_block struct and owned the write-lock for the super_block-&gt;s_umount
rwsem. While exclusively owning the s_umount lock, it called
sr_block_ioctl and waited to acquire the global sr_mutex lock.

This task tried to open the cdrom device, the sr_block_open function
acquired the global sr_mutex lock. The call to check_disk_change()
then saw an event flag indicating a possible media change and tried
to flush any cached data for the device.
As part of the flush, it tried to acquire the super_block-&gt;s_umount
lock associated with the cdrom device.
This was the same super_block as created and locked by the previous task.

The first task acquires the s_umount lock and then the sr_mutex_lock;
the second task acquires the sr_mutex_lock and then the s_umount lock.

This patch fixes the issue by moving check_disk_change() out of
cdrom_open() and let the caller take care of it.

<title>Fix loop device flush before configure v3</title>

<id>urn:sha1:aa9b09e739026bdefe4de6f7c9633558ce1656bc</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6460495709aeb651896bc8e5c134b2e4ca7d34a8 ]

While installing SLES-12 (based on v4.4), I found that the installer
will stall for 60+ seconds during LVM disk scan.  The root cause was
determined to be the removal of a bound device check in loop_flush()
by commit b5dd2f6047ca ("block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq").

Restoring this check, examining -&gt;lo_state as set by loop_set_fd()
eliminates the bad behavior.

Test method:
modprobe loop max_loop=64
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk bs=512 count=200K
for((i=0;i&lt;4;i++))do losetup -f disk; done
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/loop0
for((i=0;i&lt;4;i++))do mkdir t$i; mount /dev/loop$i t$i;done
for f in `ls /dev/loop[0-9]*|sort`; do \
	echo $f; dd if=$f of=/dev/null  bs=512 count=1; \
	done

Test output:  stock          patched
/dev/loop0    18.1217e-05    8.3842e-05
/dev/loop1     6.1114e-05    0.000147979
/dev/loop10    0.414701      0.000116564
/dev/loop11    0.7474        6.7942e-05
/dev/loop12    0.747986      8.9082e-05
/dev/loop13    0.746532      7.4799e-05
/dev/loop14    0.480041      9.3926e-05
/dev/loop15    1.26453       7.2522e-05

Note that from loop10 onward, the device is not mounted, yet the
stock kernel consumes several orders of magnitude more wall time
than it does for a mounted device.
(Thanks for Mike Galbraith &lt;efault@gmx.de&gt;, give a changelog review.)

This reverts commit 9bf9e352ed51d4cdee107675609ba12b42d00c5b which was
commit a4e84aae8139aca9fbfbced1f45c51ca81b57488 upstream.

Ben writes:
	MQ IO schedulers were introduced in 4.11, so this shouldn't be
	needed in older branches.  It also causes a performance
	regression (fixed upstream).  Please revert this for 4.4 and
	4.9.

So let's revert it!

[ Upstream commit a4e84aae8139aca9fbfbced1f45c51ca81b57488 ]

mtip32xx supposes that 'request_idx' passed to .init_request()
is tag of the request, and use that as request's tag to initialize
command header.

After MQ IO scheduler is in, request tag assigned isn't same with
the request index anymore, so cause strange hardware failure on
mtip32xx, even whole system panic is triggered.

This patch fixes the issue by initializing command header via
request's real tag.

<title>loop: Fix lost writes caused by missing flag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bfdb222af7072701802dccd9949e5e4b4977b461</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1d037577c323e5090ce281e96bc313ab2eee5be2 upstream.

The following commit:

commit aa4d86163e4e ("block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC")

replaced __do_lo_send_write(), which used ITER_KVEC iterators, with
lo_write_bvec() which uses ITER_BVEC iterators.  In this change, though,
the WRITE flag was lost:

-       iov_iter_kvec(&amp;from, ITER_KVEC | WRITE, &amp;kvec, 1, len);
+       iov_iter_bvec(&amp;i, ITER_BVEC, bvec, 1, bvec-&gt;bv_len);

This flag is necessary for the DAX case because we make decisions based on
whether or not the iterator is a READ or a WRITE in dax_iomap_actor() and
in dax_iomap_rw().

We end up going through this path in configurations where we combine a PMEM
device with 4k sectors, a loopback device and DAX.  The consequence of this
missed flag is that what we intend as a write actually turns into a read in
the DAX code, so no data is ever written.

The very simplest test case is to create a loopback device and try and
write a small string to it, then hexdump a few bytes of the device to see
if the write took.  Without this patch you read back all zeros, with this
you read back the string you wrote.

For XFS this causes us to fail or panic during the following xfstests:

	xfs/074 xfs/078 xfs/216 xfs/217 xfs/250

For ext4 we have a similar issue where writes never happen, but we don't
currently have any xfstests that use loopback and show this issue.

Fix this by restoring the WRITE flag argument to iov_iter_bvec().  This
causes the xfstests to all pass.
