[ Upstream commit f8b78caf21d5bc3fcfc40c18898f9d52ed1451a5 ]

If IOCB_NOWAIT is set on submission, then that needs to get propagated to
REQ_NOWAIT on the block side. Otherwise we completely lose this
information, and any issuer of IOCB_NOWAIT IO will potentially end up
blocking on eg request allocation on the storage side.

[ Upstream commit b849dd84b6ccfe32622988b79b7b073861fcf9f7 ]

While trying to "dd" to the block device for a USB stick, I
encountered a hung task warning (blocked for &gt; 120 seconds).  I
managed to come up with an easy way to reproduce this on my system
(where /dev/sdb is the block device for my USB stick) with:

  while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M; done

With my reproduction here are the relevant bits from the hung task
detector:

 INFO: task udevd:294 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

The problem appears related to the fact that my USB disk is terribly
slow and that I have a lot of RAM in my system to cache things.
Specifically my writes seem to be happening at ~15 MB/s and I've got
~4 GB of RAM in my system that can be used for buffering.  To write 4
GB of buffer to disk thus takes ~4000 MB / ~15 MB/s = ~267 seconds.

The 267 second number is a problem because in __blkdev_put() we call
sync_blockdev() while holding the bd_mutex.  Any other callers who
want the bd_mutex will be blocked for the whole time.

The problem is made worse because I believe blkdev_put() specifically
tells other tasks (namely udev) to go try to access the device at right
around the same time we're going to hold the mutex for a long time.

Putting some traces around this (after disabling the hung task detector),
I could confirm:
 dd:    437.608600: __blkdev_put() right before sync_blockdev() for sdb
 udevd: 437.623901: blkdev_open() right before blkdev_get() for sdb
 dd:    661.468451: __blkdev_put() right after sync_blockdev() for sdb
 udevd: 663.820426: blkdev_open() right after blkdev_get() for sdb

A simple fix for this is to realize that sync_blockdev() works fine if
you're not holding the mutex.  Also, it's not the end of the world if
you sync a little early (though it can have performance impacts).
Thus we can make a guess that we're going to need to do the sync and
then do it without holding the mutex.  We still do one last sync with
the mutex but it should be much, much faster.

With this, my hung task warnings for my test case are gone.

[ Upstream commit 2d3a8e2deddea6c89961c422ec0c5b851e648c14 ]

In blkdev_get() we call __blkdev_get() to do some internal jobs and if
there is some errors in __blkdev_get(), the bdput() is called which
means we have released the refcount of the bdev (actually the refcount of
the bdev inode). This means we cannot access bdev after that point. But
acctually bdev is still accessed in blkdev_get() after calling
__blkdev_get(). This results in use-after-free if the refcount is the
last one we released in __blkdev_get(). Let's take a look at the
following scenerio:

  CPU0            CPU1                    CPU2
blkdev_open     blkdev_open           Remove disk
                  bd_acquire
		  blkdev_get
		    __blkdev_get      del_gendisk
					bdev_unhash_inode
  bd_acquire          bdev_get_gendisk
    bd_forget           failed because of unhashed
	  bdput
	              bdput (the last one)
		        bdev_evict_inode

	  	    access bdev =&gt; use after free

Fix this by delaying bdput() to the end of blkdev_get() which means we
have finished accessing bdev.

[ Upstream commit 56939e014a6c212b317414faa307029e2e80c3b9 ]

It turns out that there is one use case for programs being able to
write to swap devices, and that is the userspace hibernation code.

Quick fix: disable the S_SWAPFILE check if hibernation is configured.

commit cba22d86e0a10b7070d2e6a7379dbea51aa0883c upstream.

Currently, block device size in not updated on second and further open
for block devices where partition scan is disabled. This is particularly
annoying for example for DVD drives as that means block device size does
not get updated once the media is inserted into a drive if the device is
already open when inserting the media. This is actually always the case
for example when pktcdvd is in use.

Fix the problem by revalidating block device size on every open even for
devices with partition scan disabled.

Pull swap access updates from Darrick Wong:
 "Prohibit writing to active swap files and swap partitions.

  There's no non-malicious use case for allowing userspace to scribble
  on storage that the kernel thinks it owns"

* tag 'vfs-5.4-merge-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  vfs: don't allow writes to swap files
  mm: set S_SWAPFILE on blockdev swap devices

Don't let userspace write to an active swap file because the kernel
effectively has a long term lease on the storage and things could get
seriously corrupted if we let this happen.

We had a few issues with this code, and there's still a problem around
how we deal with error handling for chained/split bios. For now, just
revert the code and we'll try again with a thoroug solution. This
reverts commits:

e15c2ffa1091 ("block: fix O_DIRECT error handling for bio fragments")
0eb6ddfb865c ("block: Fix __blkdev_direct_IO() for bio fragments")
6a43074e2f46 ("block: properly handle IOCB_NOWAIT for async O_DIRECT IO")
893a1c97205a ("blk-mq: allow REQ_NOWAIT to return an error inline")

<title>bdev: Fixup error handling in blkdev_get()</title>

Commit 89e524c04fa9 ("loop: Fix mount(2) failure due to race with
LOOP_SET_FD") converted blkdev_get() to use the new helpers for
finishing claiming of a block device. However the conversion botched the
error handling in blkdev_get() and thus the bdev has been marked as held
even in case __blkdev_get() returned error. This led to occasional
warnings with block/001 test from blktests like:

kernel: WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 907 at fs/block_dev.c:1899 __blkdev_put+0x396/0x3a0

Correct the error handling.
