commit d8e9e5e80e882b4f90cba7edf1e6cb7376e52e54 upstream.

Don't pass a size larger than iov_len to kernel_sendmsg().
Otherwise it will cause a NULL pointer deref when kernel_sendmsg()
returns with rv &lt; size.

DRBD as external module has been around in the kernel 2.4 days already.
We used to be compatible to 2.4 and very early 2.6 kernels,
we used to use
 rv = sock_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, iov.iov_len);
then later changed to
 rv = kernel_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, &amp;iov, 1, size);
when we should have used
 rv = kernel_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, &amp;iov, 1, iov.iov_len);

tcp_sendmsg() used to totally ignore the size parameter.
 57be5bd ip: convert tcp_sendmsg() to iov_iter primitives
changes that, and exposes our long standing error.

Even with this error exposed, to trigger the bug, we would need to have
an environment (config or otherwise) causing us to not use sendpage()
for larger transfers, a failing connection, and have it fail "just at the
right time".  Apparently that was unlikely enough for most, so this went
unnoticed for years.

Still, it is known to trigger at least some of these,
and suspected for the others:

This should go into 4.9,
and into all stable branches since and including v4.0,
which is the first to contain the exposing change.

It is correct for all stable branches older than that as well
(which contain the DRBD driver; which is 2.6.33 and up).

It requires a small "conflict" resolution for v4.4 and earlier, with v4.5
we dropped the comment block immediately preceding the kernel_sendmsg().

commit 1f13d75ccb806260079e0679d55d9253e370ec8a upstream.

A compiler may load a switch statement value multiple times, which could
be bad when the value is in memory shared with the frontend.

When converting a non-native request to a native one, ensure that
src-&gt;operation is only loaded once by using READ_ONCE().

This is part of XSA155.

<title>nbd: ratelimit error msgs after socket close</title>

commit da6ccaaa79caca4f38b540b651238f87215217a2 upstream.

Make the "Attempted send on closed socket" error messages generated in
nbd_request_handler() ratelimited.

When the nbd socket is shutdown, the nbd_request_handler() function emits
an error message for every request remaining in its queue.  If the queue
is large, this will spam a large amount of messages to the log.  There's
no need for a separate error message for each request, so this patch
ratelimits it.

In the specific case this was found, the system was virtual and the error
messages were logged to the serial port, which overwhelmed it.

commit dec63a4dec2d6d01346fd5d96062e67c0636852b upstream.

gcc-6.0 found an ancient bug in the paride driver, which had a
"module_param(verbose, bool, 0);" since before 2.6.12, but actually uses
it to accept '0', '1' or '2' as arguments:

  drivers/block/paride/pd.c: In function 'pd_init_dev_parms':
  drivers/block/paride/pd.c:298:29: warning: comparison of constant '1' with boolean expression is always false [-Wbool-compare]
   #define DBMSG(msg) ((verbose&gt;1)?(msg):NULL)

In 2012, Rusty did a cleanup patch that also changed the type of the
variable to 'bool', which introduced what is now a gcc warning.

This changes the type back to 'int' and adapts the module_param() line
instead, so it should work as documented in case anyone ever cares about
running the ancient driver with debugging.

xen-blkfront will crash if the check to talk_to_blkback()
in blkback_changed()(XenbusStateInitWait) returns an error.
The driver data is freed and info is set to NULL. Later during
the close process via talk_to_blkback's call to xenbus_dev_fatal()
the null pointer is passed to and dereference in blkfront_closing.

commit 6d69bb536bac0d403d83db1ca841444981b280cd upstream.

Mapping an image with a long parent chain (e.g. image foo, whose parent
is bar, whose parent is baz, etc) currently leads to a kernel stack
overflow, due to the following recursion in the reply path:

  rbd_osd_req_callback()
    rbd_obj_request_complete()
      rbd_img_obj_callback()
        rbd_img_parent_read_callback()
          rbd_obj_request_complete()
            ...

Limit the parent chain to 16 images, which is ~5K worth of stack.  When
the above recursion is eliminated, this limit can be lifted.

commit 1f2c6651f69c14d0d3a9cfbda44ea101b02160ba upstream.

Currently we leak parent_spec and trigger a "parent reference
underflow" warning if rbd_dev_create() in rbd_dev_probe_parent() fails.
The problem is we take the !parent out_err branch and that only drops
refcounts; parent_spec that would've been freed had we called
rbd_dev_unparent() remains and triggers rbd_warn() in
rbd_dev_parent_put() - at that point we have parent_spec != NULL and
parent_ref == 0, so counter ends up being -1 after the decrement.

Redo rbd_dev_probe_parent() to fix this.

commit bae818ee1577c27356093901a0ea48f672eda514 upstream.

rbd requires stable pages, as it performs a crc of the page data before
they are send to the OSDs.

But since kernel 3.9 (patch 1d1d1a767206fbe5d4c69493b7e6d2a8d08cc0a0
"mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires
it") it is not assumed anymore that block devices require stable pages.

This patch sets the necessary flag to get stable pages back for rbd.

In a ceph installation that provides multiple ext4 formatted rbd
devices "bad crc" messages appeared regularly (ca 1 message every 1-2
minutes on every OSD that provided the data for the rbd) in the
OSD-logs before this patch. After this patch this messages are pretty
much gone (only ca 1-2 / month / OSD).

<title>rbd: fix double free on rbd_dev-&gt;header_name</title>

commit 3ebe138ac642a195c7f2efdb918f464734421fd6 upstream.

If rbd_dev_image_probe() in rbd_dev_probe_parent() fails, header_name
is freed twice: once in rbd_dev_probe_parent() and then in its caller
rbd_dev_image_probe() (rbd_dev_image_probe() is called recursively to
handle parent images).

rbd_dev_probe_parent() is responsible for probing the parent, so it
shouldn't muck with clone's fields.

<title>rbd: fix copyup completion race</title>

commit 2761713d35e370fd640b5781109f753066b746c4 upstream.

For write/discard obj_requests that involved a copyup method call, the
opcode of the first op is CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL and the -&gt;callback is
rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback().  The latter frees copyup pages, sets
-&gt;xferred and delegates to rbd_img_obj_callback(), the "normal" image
object callback, for reporting to block layer and putting refs.

rbd_osd_req_callback() however treats CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL as a trivial op,
which means obj_request is marked done in rbd_osd_trivial_callback(),
*before* -&gt;callback is invoked and rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() has
a chance to run.  Marking obj_request done essentially means giving
rbd_img_obj_callback() a license to end it at any moment, so if another
obj_request from the same img_request is being completed concurrently,
rbd_img_obj_end_request() may very well be called on such prematurally
marked done request:

&lt;obj_request-1/2 reply&gt;
handle_reply()
  rbd_osd_req_callback()
    rbd_osd_trivial_callback()
    rbd_obj_request_complete()
    rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback()
    rbd_img_obj_callback()
                                    &lt;obj_request-2/2 reply&gt;
                                    handle_reply()
                                      rbd_osd_req_callback()
                                        rbd_osd_trivial_callback()
      for_each_obj_request(obj_request-&gt;img_request) {
        rbd_img_obj_end_request(obj_request-1/2)
        rbd_img_obj_end_request(obj_request-2/2) &lt;--
      }

Calling rbd_img_obj_end_request() on such a request leads to trouble,
in particular because its -&gt;xfferred is 0.  We report 0 to the block
layer with blk_update_request(), get back 1 for "this request has more
data in flight" and then trip on

    rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request-&gt;obj_request_count));

with rhs (which == ...) being 1 because rbd_img_obj_end_request() has
been called for both requests and lhs (more) being 1 because we haven't
got a chance to set -&gt;xfferred in rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() yet.

To fix this, leverage that rbd wants to call class methods in only two
cases: one is a generic method call wrapper (obj_request is standalone)
and the other is a copyup (obj_request is part of an img_request).  So
make a dedicated handler for CEPH_OSD_OP_CALL and directly invoke
rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() from it if obj_request is part of an
img_request, similar to how CEPH_OSD_OP_READ handler invokes
rbd_img_obj_request_read_callback().

Since rbd_img_obj_copyup_callback() is now being called from the OSD
request callback (only), it is renamed to rbd_osd_copyup_callback().
