block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2

2014-12-14T16:23:47Z

commit b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c upstream. The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset() assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a power-of-2. Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min. This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of 1280K. Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.

commit 34f6055c80285e4efb3f602a9119db75239744dc upstream. There are a number of QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD tests. Add blk_queue_dead() macro and use it. This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices

2012-01-26T00:13:42Z

commit 0bfc96cb77224736dfa35c3c555d37b3646ef35e upstream. [ Changes with respect to 3.3: return -ENOTTY from scsi_verify_blk_ioctl and -ENOIOCTLCMD from sd_compat_ioctl. ] Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user needs to be granted access only to part of the disk. This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls; others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred. Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs. In principle, this restriction should include programs running with CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the ioctls. Their actions will still be logged. This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

block: add and use scsi_blk_cmd_ioctl

2012-01-26T00:13:42Z

commit 577ebb374c78314ac4617242f509e2f5e7156649 upstream. Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device. The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

block: initialize request_queue's numa node during

2011-11-23T09:59:13Z

struct request_queue is allocated with __GFP_ZERO so its "node" field is zero before initialization. This causes an oops if node 0 is offline in the page allocator because its zonelists are not initialized. From Dave Young's dmesg: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 2 0-d0000000 SRAT: Node 1 PXM 2 100000000-330000000 SRAT: Node 0 PXM 1 330000000-630000000 Initmem setup node 1 0000000000000000-000000000affb000 ... Built 1 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. ... BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000001c08 IP: [] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5/0x870 and __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5 translates to a NULL pointer on zonelist->_zonerefs. The fix is to initialize q->node at the time of allocation so the correct node is passed to the slab allocator later. Since blk_init_allocated_queue_node() is no longer needed, merge it with blk_init_allocated_queue().

include: replace linux/module.h with "struct module" wherever possible

2011-10-31T23:32:32Z

The pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in terms of being included from other commonly used files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times. The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere. This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time. There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead and simply make it a few more. Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

Thus spake Andrew Morton: "And I have the usual maintainability whine. If someone comes up to vmscan.c and sees it calling blk_start_plug(), how are they supposed to work out why that call is there? They go look at the blk_start_plug() definition and it is undocumented. I think we can do better than this?"
