[ Upstream commit 96d7cb932e826219ec41ac02e5af037ffae6098c ]

floppy_check_events() is supposed to return bit flags to say which
events occured. We should return zero to say that no event flags are
set.  Only BIT(0) and BIT(1) are used in the caller. And .check_events
interface also expect to return an unsigned int value.

However, after commit a0c80efe5956, it may return -EINTR (-4u).
Here, both BIT(0) and BIT(1) are cleared. So this patch shouldn't
affect runtime, but it obviously is still worth fixing.

<title>floppy: Do not copy a kernel pointer to user memory in FDGETPRM ioctl</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 65eea8edc315589d6c993cf12dbb5d0e9ef1fe4e upstream.

The final field of a floppy_struct is the field "name", which is a pointer
to a string in kernel memory.  The kernel pointer should not be copied to
user memory.  The FDGETPRM ioctl copies a floppy_struct to user memory,
including this "name" field.  This pointer cannot be used by the user
and it will leak a kernel address to user-space, which will reveal the
location of kernel code and data and undermine KASLR protection.

Model this code after the compat ioctl which copies the returned data
to a previously cleared temporary structure on the stack (excluding the
name pointer) and copy out to userspace from there.  As we already have
an inparam union with an appropriate member and that memory is already
cleared even for read only calls make use of that as a temporary store.

Based on an initial patch by Brian Belleville.

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.

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

This patch converts the simple bi_rw use cases in the block,
drivers, mm and fs code to set/get the bio operation using
bio_set_op_attrs/bio_op

These should be simple one or two liner cases, so I just did them
in one patch. The next patches handle the more complicated
cases in a module per patch.

This has callers of submit_bio/submit_bio_wait set the bio-&gt;bi_rw
instead of passing it in. This makes that use the same as
generic_make_request and how we set the other bio fields.

Fixed up fs/ext4/crypto.c

<title>floppy: refactor open() flags handling</title>

In case /dev/fdX is open with O_NDELAY / O_NONBLOCK, floppy_open() immediately
succeeds, without performing any further media / controller preparations.
That's "correct" wrt. the NODELAY flag, but is hardly correct wrt. the rest
of the floppy driver, that is not really O_NONBLOCK ready, at all. Therefore
it's not too surprising, that subsequent attempts to work with the
filedescriptor produce bad results. Namely, syzkaller tool has been able
to livelock mmap() on the returned fd to keep waiting on the page unlock
bit forever.

Quite frankly, I have trouble defining what non-blocking behavior would be for
floppies. Is waiting ages for the driver to actually succeed reading a sector
blocking operation? Is waiting for drive motor to start blocking operation? How
about in case of virtualized floppies?

One option would be returning EWOULDBLOCK in case O_NDLEAY / O_NONBLOCK is
being passed to open(). That has a theoretical potential of breaking some
arcane and archaic userspace though.

Let's take a more conservative aproach, and accept the O_NDLEAY flag, and let
the driver behave as usual.

While at it, clean up a bit handling of !(mode &amp; (FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE))
case and return EINVAL instead of succeeding as well.
