commit aebf5db917055b38f4945ed6d621d9f07a44ff30 upstream.

Make sure that bdgrab() is done on the 'block_device' instance before
referring to it for avoiding use-after-free.

<title>block: fix bdi vs gendisk lifetime mismatch</title>

The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt.
However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a
window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a
bdi with the same name is still live.  Arrange for the bdi to hold a
reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered.
Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following:

 WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 2078 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x64/0x80

This problem can occur in the following situation:

open()

    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // succeeds
       - seqf-&gt;private = iter
    - .seq_stop()
       - kfree(seqf-&gt;private)
 - pread()
    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // fails
    - .seq_stop()
       - class_dev_iter_exit(seqf-&gt;private) // boom! old pointer

As the comment in disk_seqf_stop() says, stop is called even if start
failed, so we need to reinitialise the private pointer to NULL when seq
iteration stops.

An alternative would be to set the private pointer to NULL when the
kmalloc() in disk_seqf_start() fails.

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
  that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We
  often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
  always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
  when that happens.

  That said, this contains:

   - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
     Christoph.

   - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

   - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
     op/flags change in the core branch.

   - map and append request fixes from Christoph.

   - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.  This is pretty
     exciting!

   - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.

   - removal of -&gt;driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
     device_add_disk() helper.

   - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.

   - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.

   - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.

   - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.

   - mg_disk error path fix from Bart.

   - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.

   - NVMe in general:
        + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
        + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
        + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
        + use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.
        + cancel IO fixes from Ming.
        + don't allocate unused major, from Neil.
        + error code fixup from Dan.
        + use constants for PSDT/FUSE from James.
        + variable init fix from Jay.
        + fabrics fixes from Ming, Sagi, and Wei.
        + various fixes"

* 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (115 commits)
  nvme/pci: Provide SR-IOV support
  nvme: initialize variable before logical OR'ing it
  block: unexport various bio mapping helpers
  scsi/osd: open code blk_make_request

  block: simplify and export blk_rq_append_bio

We now have implicit batching in the timer wheel. The slack API is no longer
used, so remove it.

In preparation for removing the -&gt;driverfs_dev member of a gendisk, add
an api that takes the parent device as a parameter to add_disk().  For
now this maintains the status quo of WARN()ing on failure, but not
return a error code.

<content type='text'>
Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "We don't have a lot of core changes this time around, it's mostly in
  drivers, which will come in a subsequent pull.

  The cores changes include:

   - blk-mq
        - Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to
          take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep.
        - Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy
          and blk-mq for timer usage.
        - Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse
          of CPU masks.

   - Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open
     coding it.

   - From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds,
     and a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put.

   - A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith.  We
     yanked a broken version of this from 4.4-rc final, this one works.

   - From Mike Krinkin, emit a trace message when we split.

   - From Wei Tang, two small cleanups, not explicitly clearing memory
     that is already cleared"

* 'for-4.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: use bd{grab,put}() instead of open-coding
  block: split bios to max possible length
  block: add call to split trace point
  blk-mq: Avoid memoryless numa node encoded in hctx numa_node
  blk-mq: Reuse hardware context cpumask for tags
  blk-mq: add a flags parameter to blk_mq_alloc_request
  Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required"
  block: clarify blk_add_timer() use case for blk-mq
  bio: use offset_in_page macro
  block: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
  block: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL
  block: rename request_queue slab cache

The badblocks list attached to a gendisk is allocated by the driver
which equates to the driver owning the lifetime of the object.  Do not
automatically free it in del_gendisk(). This is in preparation for
expanding the use of badblocks in libnvdimm drivers and introducing
devm_init_badblocks().
