null_blk: fix kmemleak by releasing references to fault configfs items

2026-01-23T10:18:43Z

commit 40b94ec7edbbb867c4e26a1a43d2b898f04b93c5 upstream. When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NULL_BLK_FAULT_INJECTION is enabled, the null-blk driver sets up fault injection support by creating the timeout_inject, requeue_inject, and init_hctx_fault_inject configfs items as children of the top-level nullbX configfs group. However, when the nullbX device is removed, the references taken to these fault-config configfs items are not released. As a result, kmemleak reports a memory leak, for example: unreferenced object 0xc00000021ff25c40 (size 32): comm "mkdir", pid 10665, jiffies 4322121578 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 69 6e 69 74 5f 68 63 74 78 5f 66 61 75 6c 74 5f init_hctx_fault_ 69 6e 6a 65 63 74 00 88 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 inject.......... backtrace (crc 1a018c86): __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x494/0xbd8 kvasprintf+0x74/0xf4 config_item_set_name+0xf0/0x104 config_group_init_type_name+0x48/0xfc fault_config_init+0x48/0xf0 0xc0080000180559e4 configfs_mkdir+0x304/0x814 vfs_mkdir+0x49c/0x604 do_mkdirat+0x314/0x3d0 sys_mkdir+0xa0/0xd8 system_call_exception+0x1b0/0x4f0 system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec Fix this by explicitly releasing the references to the fault-config configfs items when dropping the reference to the top-level nullbX configfs group.

floppy: fix for PAGE_SIZE != 4KB

2026-01-08T09:14:14Z

commit 82d20481024cbae2ea87fe8b86d12961bfda7169 upstream. For years I wondered why the floppy driver does not just work on sparc64, e.g: root@SUNW_375_0066:# disktype /dev/fd0 disktype: Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address [ 525.341906] disktype: attempt to access beyond end of device fd0: rw=0, sector=0, nr_sectors = 16 limit=8 [ 525.341991] floppy: error 10 while reading block 0 Turns out floppy.c __floppy_read_block_0 tries to read one page for the first test read to determine the disk size and thus fails if that is greater than 4k. Adjust minimum MAX_DISK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE to fix floppy on sparc64 and likely all other PAGE_SIZE != 4KB configs.

nbd: defer config put in recv_work

[ Upstream commit 9517b82d8d422d426a988b213fdd45c6b417b86d ] There is one uaf issue in recv_work when running NBD_CLEAR_SOCK and NBD_CMD_RECONFIGURE: nbd_genl_connect // conf_ref=2 (connect and recv_work A) nbd_open // conf_ref=3 recv_work A done // conf_ref=2 NBD_CLEAR_SOCK // conf_ref=1 nbd_genl_reconfigure // conf_ref=2 (trigger recv_work B) close nbd // conf_ref=1 recv_work B config_put // conf_ref=0 atomic_dec(&config->recv_threads); -> UAF Or only running NBD_CLEAR_SOCK: nbd_genl_connect // conf_ref=2 nbd_open // conf_ref=3 NBD_CLEAR_SOCK // conf_ref=2 close nbd nbd_release config_put // conf_ref=1 recv_work config_put // conf_ref=0 atomic_dec(&config->recv_threads); -> UAF Commit 87aac3a80af5 ("nbd: call nbd_config_put() before notifying the waiter") moved nbd_config_put() to run before waking up the waiter in recv_work, in order to ensure that nbd_start_device_ioctl() would not be woken up while nbd->task_recv was still uncleared. However, in nbd_start_device_ioctl(), after being woken up it explicitly calls flush_workqueue() to make sure all current works are finished. Therefore, there is no need to move the config put ahead of the wakeup. Move nbd_config_put() to the end of recv_work, so that the reference is held for the whole lifetime of the worker thread. This makes sure the config cannot be freed while recv_work is still running, even if clear + reconfigure interleave. In addition, we don't need to worry about recv_work dropping the last nbd_put (which causes deadlock): path A (netlink with NBD_CFLAG_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT): connect // nbd_refs=1 (trigger recv_work) open nbd // nbd_refs=2 NBD_CLEAR_SOCK close nbd nbd_release nbd_disconnect_and_put flush_workqueue // recv_work done nbd_config_put nbd_put // nbd_refs=1 nbd_put // nbd_refs=0 queue_work path B (netlink without NBD_CFLAG_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT): connect // nbd_refs=2 (trigger recv_work) open nbd // nbd_refs=3 NBD_CLEAR_SOCK // conf_refs=2 close nbd nbd_release nbd_config_put // conf_refs=1 nbd_put // nbd_refs=2 recv_work done // conf_refs=0, nbd_refs=1 rmmod // nbd_refs=0 Reported-by: syzbot+56fbf4c7ddf65e95c7cc@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/6907edce.a70a0220.37351b.0014.GAE@google.com/T/ Fixes: 87aac3a80af5 ("nbd: make the config put is called before the notifying the waiter") Depends-on: e2daec488c57 ("nbd: Fix hungtask when nbd_config_put") Signed-off-by: Zheng Qixing Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

nbd: override creds to kernel when calling sock_{send,recv}msg()

2025-10-29T13:08:59Z

[ Upstream commit 81ccca31214e11ea2b537fd35d4f66d7cf46268e ] sock_{send,recv}msg() internally calls security_socket_{send,recv}msg(), which does security checks (e.g. SELinux) for socket access against the current task. However, _sock_xmit() in drivers/block/nbd.c may be called indirectly from a userspace syscall, where the NBD socket access would be incorrectly checked against the calling userspace task (which simply tries to read/write a file that happens to reside on an NBD device). To fix this, temporarily override creds to kernel ones before calling the sock_*() functions. This allows the security modules to recognize this as internal access by the kernel, which will normally be allowed. A way to trigger the issue is to do the following (on a system with SELinux set to enforcing): ### Create nbd device: truncate -s 256M /tmp/testfile nbd-server localhost:10809 /tmp/testfile ### Connect to the nbd server: nbd-client localhost ### Create mdraid array mdadm --create -l 1 -n 2 /dev/md/testarray /dev/nbd0 missing After these steps, assuming the SELinux policy doesn't allow the unexpected access pattern, errors will be visible on the kernel console: [ 142.204243] nbd0: detected capacity change from 0 to 524288 [ 165.189967] md: async del_gendisk mode will be removed in future, please upgrade to mdadm-4.5+ [ 165.252299] md/raid1:md127: active with 1 out of 2 mirrors [ 165.252725] md127: detected capacity change from 0 to 522240 [ 165.255434] block nbd0: Send control failed (result -13) [ 165.255718] block nbd0: Request send failed, requeueing [ 165.256006] block nbd0: Dead connection, failed to find a fallback [ 165.256041] block nbd0: Receive control failed (result -32) [ 165.256423] block nbd0: shutting down sockets [ 165.257196] I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2048 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [ 165.257736] Buffer I/O error on dev md127, logical block 0, async page read [ 165.258263] I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2048 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [ 165.259376] Buffer I/O error on dev md127, logical block 0, async page read [ 165.259920] I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2048 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [ 165.260628] Buffer I/O error on dev md127, logical block 0, async page read [ 165.261661] ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed.
