floppy: fix for PAGE_SIZE != 4KB

2026-01-19T12:11:47+00:00

commit 82d20481024cbae2ea87fe8b86d12961bfda7169 upstream.

For years I wondered why the floppy driver does not just work on
sparc64, e.g:

root@SUNW_375_0066:# disktype /dev/fd0
disktype: Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address

[  525.341906] disktype: attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, sector=0, nr_sectors = 16 limit=8
[  525.341991] floppy: error 10 while reading block 0

Turns out floppy.c __floppy_read_block_0 tries to read one page for
the first test read to determine the disk size and thus fails if that
is greater than 4k. Adjust minimum MAX_DISK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE to fix
floppy on sparc64 and likely all other PAGE_SIZE != 4KB configs.

floppy: use a statically allocated error counter

2022-05-25T07:17:51+00:00

commit f71f01394f742fc4558b3f9f4c7ef4c4cf3b07c8 upstream.

Interrupt handler bad_flp_intr() may cause a UAF on the recently freed
request just to increment the error count.  There's no point keeping
that one in the request anyway, and since the interrupt handler uses a
static pointer to the error which cannot be kept in sync with the
pending request, better make it use a static error counter that's reset
for each new request.  This reset now happens when entering
redo_fd_request() for a new request via set_next_request().

One initial concern about a single error counter was that errors on one
floppy drive could be reported on another one, but this problem is not
real given that the driver uses a single drive at a time, as that
PC-compatible controllers also have this limitation by using shared
signals.  As such the error count is always for the "current" drive.

floppy: disable FDRAWCMD by default

2022-05-09T07:04:56+00:00

commit 233087ca063686964a53c829d547c7571e3f67bf upstream.

Minh Yuan reported a concurrency use-after-free issue in the floppy code
between raw_cmd_ioctl and seek_interrupt.

[ It turns out this has been around, and that others have reported the
  KASAN splats over the years, but Minh Yuan had a reproducer for it and
  so gets primary credit for reporting it for this fix   - Linus ]

The problem is, this driver tends to break very easily and nowadays,
nobody is expected to use FDRAWCMD anyway since it was used to
manipulate non-standard formats.  The risk of breaking the driver is
higher than the risk presented by this race, and accessing the device
requires privileges anyway.

Let's just add a config option to completely disable this ioctl and
leave it disabled by default.  Distros shouldn't use it, and only those
running on antique hardware might need to enable it.

floppy: Add max size check for user space request

2022-01-27T09:54:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 545a32498c536ee152331cd2e7d2416aa0f20e01 ]

We need to check the max request size that is from user space before
allocating pages. If the request size exceeds the limit, return -EINVAL.
This check can avoid the warning below from page allocator.

floppy: Fix hang in watchdog when disk is ejected

2022-01-27T09:53:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit fb48febce7e30baed94dd791e19521abd2c3fd83 ]

When the watchdog detects a disk change, it calls cancel_activity(),
which in turn tries to cancel the fd_timer delayed work.

In the above scenario, fd_timer_fn is set to fd_watchdog(), meaning
it is trying to cancel its own work.
This results in a hang as cancel_delayed_work_sync() is waiting for the
watchdog (itself) to return, which never happens.

This can be reproduced relatively consistently by attempting to read a
broken floppy, and ejecting it while IO is being attempted and retried.

To resolve this, this patch calls cancel_delayed_work() instead, which
cancels the work without waiting for the watchdog to return and finish.

Before this regression was introduced, the code in this section used
del_timer(), and not del_timer_sync() to delete the watchdog timer.

Revert "floppy: reintroduce O_NDELAY fix"

2021-09-03T08:09:31+00:00

commit c7e9d0020361f4308a70cdfd6d5335e273eb8717 upstream.

The patch breaks userspace implementations (e.g. fdutils) and introduces
regressions in behaviour. Previously, it was possible to O_NDELAY open a
floppy device with no media inserted or with write protected media without
an error. Some userspace tools use this particular behavior for probing.

It's not the first time when we revert this patch. Previous revert is in
commit f2791e7eadf4 (Revert "floppy: refactor open() flags handling").

This reverts commit 8a0c014cd20516ade9654fc13b51345ec58e7be8.

floppy: reintroduce O_NDELAY fix

2021-03-04T10:38:33+00:00

commit 8a0c014cd20516ade9654fc13b51345ec58e7be8 upstream.

This issue was originally fixed in 09954bad4 ("floppy: refactor open()
flags handling").

The fix as a side-effect, however, introduce issue for open(O_ACCMODE)
that is being used for ioctl-only open. I wrote a fix for that, but
instead of it being merged, full revert of 09954bad4 was performed,
re-introducing the O_NDELAY / O_NONBLOCK issue, and it strikes again.

This is a forward-port of the original fix to current codebase; the
original submission had the changelog below:

====
Commit 09954bad4 ("floppy: refactor open() flags handling"), as a
side-effect, causes open(/dev/fdX, O_ACCMODE) to fail. It turns out that
this is being used setfdprm userspace for ioctl-only open().

Reintroduce back the original behavior wrt !(FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE)
modes, while still keeping the original O_NDELAY bug fixed.

floppy: use bdev_check_media_change

2020-09-10T15:32:30+00:00

Switch to use bdev_check_media_change instead of check_disk_change and
call floppy_revalidate manually.  Given that floppy_revalidate only
deals with media change events, the extra call into ->revalidate_disk
from bdev_disk_changed is not required either, so stop wiring up the
method.
