2012-10-22Revert "block: fix request_queue->flags initialization"Greg Kroah-Hartman
This reverts commit 2101aa5bb084931f22fa08cacd6d69c80afade7f which is commit 60ea8226cbd5c8301f9a39edc574ddabcb8150e0 upstream. To quote Ben: This is not needed, as there is no QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS in 3.0.y. To quote Tejun: I don't think it will break anything as it simply changes assignment to |= to avoid overwriting existing flags. That said, any patch can break anything, so if possible it would be better to drop for 3.0.y. So I'll revert this to be safe.

2012-10-21block: fix request_queue->flags initializationTejun Heo
commit 60ea8226cbd5c8301f9a39edc574ddabcb8150e0 upstream. A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set. For request-based drivers, blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the initial bypass is still in effect. In blk_init_allocated_queue(), or QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT to q->queue_flags instead of overwriting.

2012-06-01block: fix buffer overflow when printing partition UUIDsTejun Heo
commit 05c69d298c96703741cac9a5cbbf6c53bd55a6e2 upstream. 6d1d8050b4bc8 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct" added part_unpack_uuid() which assumes that the passed in buffer has enough space for sprintfing "%pU" - 37 characters including '\0'. Unfortunately, b5af921ec0233 "init: add support for root devices specified by partition UUID" supplied 33 bytes buffer to the function leading to the following panic with stackprotector enabled.

2012-03-19Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event pollingAlan Stern
commit 62d3c5439c534b0e6c653fc63e6d8c67be3a57b1 upstream. This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition. Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration. The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant, freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

2012-03-19block: fix __blkdev_get and add_disk race conditionStanislaw Gruszka
commit 9f53d2fe815b4011ff930a7b6db98385d45faa68 upstream. The following situation might occur: __blkdev_get: add_disk: register_disk() get_gendisk() disk_block_events() disk->ev == NULL disk_add_events() __disk_unblock_events() disk->ev != NULL --ev->block Then we unblock events, when they are suppose to be blocked. This can trigger events related block/genhd.c warnings, but also can crash in sd_check_events() or other places. I'm able to reproduce crashes with the following scripts (with connected usb dongle as sdb disk). <snip> DEV=/dev/sdb ENABLE=/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/bConfigurationValue function stop_me() { for i in `jobs -p` ; do kill $i 2> /dev/null ; done exit } trap stop_me SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM for ((i = 0; i < 10; i++)) ; do while true; do fdisk -l $DEV 2>&1 > /dev/null ; done & done while true ; do echo 1 > $ENABLE sleep 1 echo 0 > $ENABLE done </snip> I use the script to verify patch fixing oops in sd_revalidate_disk http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132935572512352&w=2 Without Jun'ichi Nomura patch titled "Fix NULL pointer dereference in sd_revalidate_disk" or this one, script easily crash kernel within a few seconds.

2012-01-25block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devicesPaolo Bonzini
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.

commit 5151412dd4338b273afdb107c3772528e9e67d92 upstream. struct request_queue is allocated with __GFP_ZERO so its "node" field is zero before initialization.

2012-01-06cfq-iosched: fix cfq_cic_link() race confitionYasuaki Ishimatsu
commit 5eb46851de3904cd1be9192fdacb8d34deadc1fc upstream. cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps: step 1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not linked with a cic for the device step 3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() step 4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the same ioc step 6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a cic for the device yet step 7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link() step 8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it step 9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link() But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7. step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait() The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the device. When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic. So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().

If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

commit 777eb1bf15b8532c396821774bf6451e563438f5 upstream. A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(), Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2011-08-04fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()James Bottomley
commit bfe159a51203c15d23cb3158fffdc25ec4b4dda1 upstream. USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD followed by attempted unmount. The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be sent to a dead queue.

2011-06-09block: make disk_block_events() properly wait for work cancellationTejun Heo
disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further cancellations. Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could happen after return. This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 Fix it by adding an outer mutex which protects both block count manipulation and work cancellation. -v2: Use outer mutex instead of bit waitqueue per Linus.

2011-06-09block: don't use non-syncing event blocking in disk_check_events()Tejun Heo
This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event work. It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and finished on return from flush. WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event work hasn't executed as expected. This problem happens because __disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner. The problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them. When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return. This makes it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones would assume that the first blocker already canceled it. Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in disk_clear_events(). As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing __disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule event work is the easiest way to solve the issue. Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch doesn't fix the issue completely. Later patch will fix the other bug.

2011-06-06cfq-iosched: fix locking around ioc->ioc_data assignmentJens Axboe
Since we are modifying this RCU pointer, we need to hold the lock protecting it around it. This fixes a potential reuse and double free of a cfq io_context structure. The bug has been in CFQ for a long time, it hit very few people but those it did hit seemed to see it a lot. Tracked in RH bugzilla here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577968 Credit goes to Paul Bolle for figuring out that the issue was around the one-hit ioc->ioc_data cache. Thanks to his hard work the issue is now fixed. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-05-26cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacksBen Blum
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.

2011-05-26block: always allocate genhd->ev if check_events is implementedTejun Heo
9fd097b149 (block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe drivers) removed DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from legacy/fringe block drivers which have inadequate ->check_events(). Combined with earlier change 7c88a168da (block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland), this enables using ->check_events() for internal processing while avoiding enabling in-kernel block event polling which can lead to infinite event loop. Unfortunately, this made many drivers including floppy without any bit set in disk->events and ->async_events in which case disk_add_events() simply skipped allocation of disk->ev, which disables whole event handling. As ->check_events() is still used during open processing for revalidation, this can lead to open failure. This patch always allocates disk->ev if ->check_events is implemented. In the long term, it would make sense to simply include the event structure inline into genhd as it's now used by virtually all block devices.

2011-05-20blk-throttle: Make no throttling rule group processing locklessVivek Goyal
Currently we take a queue lock on each bio to check if there are any throttling rules associated with the group and also update the stats.

2011-05-20blk-cgroup: Make cgroup stat reset path blkg->lock free for dispatch statsVivek Goyal
Now dispatch stats update is lock free. But reset of these stats still takes blkg->stats_lock and is dependent on that. As stats are per cpu, we should be able to just reset the stats on each cpu without any locks. (Atleast for 64bit arch). On 32bit arch there is a small race where 64bit updates are not atomic. The result of this race can be that in the presence of other writers, one might not get 0 value after reset of a stat and might see something intermediate One can write more complicated code to cover this race like sending IPI to other cpus to reset stats and for offline cpus, reset these directly. Right not I am not taking that path because reset_update is more of a debug feature and it can happen only on 32bit arch and possibility of it happening is small. Will fix it if it becomes a real problem. For the time being going for code simplicity. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Currently, all the cfq_group or throtl_group allocations happen while we are holding ->queue_lock and sleeping is not allowed. Soon, we will move to per cpu stats and also need to allocate the per group stats. As one can not call alloc_percpu() from atomic context as it can sleep, we need to drop ->queue_lock, allocate the group, retake the lock and continue processing. In throttling code, I check the queue DEAD flag again to make sure that driver did not call blk_cleanup_queue() in the mean time.
