[ Upstream commit 33cb0917bbe241dd17a2b87ead63514c1b7e5615 ]

There are two initializers for P_RETRY_WRITE:

drivers/block/drbd/drbd_main.c:3676:22: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]

Remove the first one since it was already ignored by the compiler
and reorder the list to match the enum definition. As P_ZEROES had
no entry, add that one instead.

Fixes: 036b17eaab93 ("drbd: Receiving part for the PROTOCOL_UPDATE packet")
Fixes: f31e583aa2c2 ("drbd: introduce P_ZEROES (REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES on the "wire")")

<title>drbd: fix an invalid memory access caused by incorrect use of list iterator</title>

<id>ae4d37b5df749926891583d42a6801b5da11e3c1</id>
<content type='text'>
The bug is here:
	idr_remove(&amp;connection-&gt;peer_devices, vnr);

If the previous for_each_connection() don't exit early (no goto hit
inside the loop), the iterator 'connection' after the loop will be a
bogus pointer to an invalid structure object containing the HEAD
(&amp;resource-&gt;connections). As a result, the use of 'connection' above
will lead to a invalid memory access (including a possible invalid free
as idr_remove could call free_layer).

The original intention should have been to remove all peer_devices,
but the following lines have already done the work. So just remove
this line and the unneeded label, to fix this bug.

<title>drbd: Fix five use after free bugs in get_initial_state</title>

In get_initial_state, it calls notify_initial_state_done(skb,..) if
cb-&gt;args[5]==1. If genlmsg_put() failed in notify_initial_state_done(),
the skb will be freed by nlmsg_free(skb).
Then get_initial_state will goto out and the freed skb will be used by
return value skb-&gt;len, which is a uaf bug.

What's worse, the same problem goes even further: skb can also be
freed in the notify_*_state_change -&gt; notify_*_state calls below.
Thus 4 additional uaf bugs happened.

My patch lets the problem callee functions: notify_initial_state_done
and notify_*_state_change return an error code if errors happen.
So that the error codes could be propagated and the uaf bugs can be avoid.

v2 reports a compilation warning. This v3 fixed this warning and built
successfully in my local environment with no additional warnings.

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer
computed based on the head element.

While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed
based on the head element, either with list_entry_is_head() or
&amp;pos-&gt;member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should
be avoided.

In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

&amp;pos-&gt;member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should
be avoided.

In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to iterate through the list [1].

Since that variable should not be used past the loop iteration, a
separate variable is used to 'remember the current location within the
loop'.

To either continue iterating from that position or skip the iteration
(if the previous iteration was complete) list_prepare_entry() is used.
