[ 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.

<title>floppy: Fix hang in watchdog when disk is ejected</title>

[ 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.

<title>floppy: fix calling platform_device_unregister() on invalid drives</title>

platform_device_unregister() should only be called when
a respective platform_device_register() is called. However
the floppy driver currently allows failures when registring
a drive and a bail out could easily cause an invalid call
to platform_device_unregister() where it was not intended.

Fix this by adding a bool to keep track of when the platform
device was registered for a drive.

This does not fix any known panic / bug. This issue was found
through code inspection while preparing the driver to use the
up and coming support for device_add_disk() error handling.
From what I can tell from code inspection, chances of this
ever happening should be insanely small, perhaps OOM.

<title>floppy: fix add_disk() assumption on exit due to new developments</title>

<id>2598a2bb357d64baaa94368133ddbc900b9eb246</id>
<content type='text'>
After the patch titled "floppy: use blk_mq_alloc_disk and
blk_cleanup_disk" the floppy driver was modified to allocate
the blk_mq_alloc_disk() which allocates the disk with the
queue. This is further clarified later with the patch titled
"block: remove alloc_disk and alloc_disk_node". This clarifies
that:

   Most drivers should use and have been converted to use
   blk_alloc_disk and blk_mq_alloc_disk.  Only the scsi
   ULPs and dasd still allocate a disk separately from the
   request_queue so don't bother with convenience macros for
   something that should not see significant new users and
   remove these wrappers.

And then we have the patch titled, "block: hold a request_queue
reference for the lifetime of struct gendisk" which ensures
that a queue is *always* present for sure during the entire
lifetime of a disk.

In the floppy driver's case then the disk always comes with the
queue. So even if even if the queue was cleaned up on exit, putting
the disk *is* still required, and likewise, blk_cleanup_queue() on
a null queue should not happen now as disk-&gt;queue is valid from
disk allocation time on.

Automatic backport code scrapers should hopefully not cherry pick
this patch as a stable fix candidate without full due dilligence to
ensure all the work done on the block layer to make this happen is
merged first.

<pre>
After the patch titled "floppy: use blk_mq_alloc_disk and
blk_cleanup_disk" the floppy driver was modified to allocate
the blk_mq_alloc_disk() which allocates the disk with the
queue. This is further clarified later with the patch titled
"block: remove alloc_disk and alloc_disk_node". This clarifies
that:

   Most drivers should use and have been converted to use
   blk_alloc_disk and blk_mq_alloc_disk.  Only the scsi
   ULPs and dasd still allocate a disk separately from the
   request_queue so don't bother with convenience macros for
   something that should not see significant new users and
   remove these wrappers.

And then we have the patch titled, "block: hold a request_queue
reference for the lifetime of struct gendisk" which ensures
that a queue is *always* present for sure during the entire
lifetime of a disk.

In the floppy driver's case then the disk always comes with the
queue. So even if even if the queue was cleaned up on exit, putting
the disk *is* still required, and likewise, blk_cleanup_queue() on
a null queue should not happen now as disk-&gt;queue is valid from
disk allocation time on.

Automatic backport code scrapers should hopefully not cherry pick
this patch as a stable fix candidate without full due dilligence to
ensure all the work done on the block layer to make this happen is
merged first.

Drop various include not actually used in genhd.h itself, and
move the remaning includes closer together.

<title>Revert "floppy: reintroduce O_NDELAY fix"</title>

<id>c7e9d0020361f4308a70cdfd6d5335e273eb8717</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
