nbd: fix possible memory leak

2015-05-09T22:16:30+00:00

commit ff6b8090e26ef7649ef0cc6b42389141ef48b0cf upstream.

we have already allocated memory for nbd_dev, but we were not
releasing that memory and just returning the error value.

nbd: correct disconnect behavior

2013-07-27T04:34:29+00:00

commit c378f70adbc1bbecd9e6db145019f14b2f688c7c upstream.

Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT
ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of
several error codes).  This means that nbd-client does not know if a
manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred.
Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after
error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly.

This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user
requests a disconnect.  This means that nbd-client can correctly either
persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user
requested it).

block: do not pass disk names as format strings

2013-07-27T04:34:28+00:00

commit ffc8b30866879ed9ba62bd0a86fecdbd51cd3d19 upstream.

Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be
interpreted as format strings.  It seems that only md allows arbitrary
strings to be used for disk names, but this could allow for a local
memory corruption from uid 0 into ring 0.

nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdown

2013-03-06T03:24:17+00:00

commit 3a2d63f87989e01437ba994df5f297528c353d7d upstream.

There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.

1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.

   This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
   NBD_DISCONNECT handler.  This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
   to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
   possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
   either).

2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
   come from the same backing storage.

   The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
   clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
   page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.

Example:

    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
    # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.

While /dev/sda has:

    # file -s /dev/sda
    /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc.

nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown

2012-10-10T02:30:46+00:00

commit fded4e090c60100d709318896c79816d68d5b47d upstream.

Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.

There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
never completed or freed.

The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
cleared.
