[ Upstream commit 47b16820c490149c2923e8474048f2c6e7557cab ]

If xace hardware reports a bad version number, the error handling code
in ace_setup() calls put_disk(), followed by queue cleanup. However, since
the disk data structure has the queue pointer set, put_disk() also
cleans and releases the queue. This results in blk_cleanup_queue()
accessing an already released data structure, which in turn may result
in a crash such as the following.

Fix the problem by setting the disk queue pointer to NULL before calling
put_disk(). A more comprehensive fix might be to rearrange the code
to check the hardware version before initializing data structures,
but I don't know if this would have undesirable side effects, and
it would increase the complexity of backporting the fix to older kernels.

This value doesn't get reset when the device is closed which means the
device cannot be opened again. Fix this by checking for refcount &lt;= 0

[ Upstream commit 9848b6ddd8c92305252f94592c5e278574e7a6ac ]

If you try to promote a Secondary while connected to a Primary
and allow-two-primaries is NOT set, we will wait for "ping-timeout"
to give this node a chance to detect a dead primary,
in case the cluster manager noticed faster than we did.

But if we then are *still* connected to a Primary,
we fail (after an additional timeout of ping-timout).

This change skips the spurious second timeout.

Most people won't notice really,
since "ping-timeout" by default is half a second.

But in some installations, ping-timeout may be 10 or 20 seconds or more,
and spuriously delaying the error return becomes annoying.

<title>drbd: disconnect, if the wrong UUIDs are attached on a connected peer</title>

[ Upstream commit b17b59602b6dcf8f97a7dc7bc489a48388d7063a ]

With "on-no-data-accessible suspend-io", DRBD requires the next attach
or connect to be to the very same data generation uuid tag it lost last.

If we first lost connection to the peer,
then later lost connection to our own disk,
we would usually refuse to re-connect to the peer,
because it presents the wrong data set.

However, if the peer first connects without a disk,
and then attached its disk, we accepted that same wrong data set,
which would be "unexpected" by any user of that DRBD
and cause "undefined results" (read: very likely data corruption).

The fix is to forcefully disconnect as soon as we notice that the peer
attached to the "wrong" dataset.

[ Upstream commit b17b59602b6dcf8f97a7dc7bc489a48388d7063a ]

With "on-no-data-accessible suspend-io", DRBD requires the next attach
or connect to be to the very same data generation uuid tag it lost last.

If we first lost connection to the peer,
then later lost connection to our own disk,
we would usually refuse to re-connect to the peer,
because it presents the wrong data set.

However, if the peer first connects without a disk,
and then attached its disk, we accepted that same wrong data set,
which would be "unexpected" by any user of that DRBD
and cause "undefined results" (read: very likely data corruption).

The fix is to forcefully disconnect as soon as we notice that the peer
attached to the "wrong" dataset.

[ Upstream commit d29e89e34952a9ad02c77109c71a80043544296e ]

So far there was the possibility that we called
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO)/mutex_lock() while holding an rcu_read_lock().

This included cases like:

drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
  drbd_asb_recover_1p
    drbd_khelper
      drbd_bcast_event
        genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --&gt; may sleep

drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
  drbd_asb_recover_1p
    drbd_khelper
      notify_helper
        genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --&gt; may sleep

drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
  drbd_asb_recover_1p
    drbd_khelper
      notify_helper
        mutex_lock --&gt; may sleep

While using GFP_ATOMIC whould have been possible in the first two cases,
the real fix is to narrow the rcu_read_lock.

<title>block/loop: Use global lock for ioctl() operation.</title>

commit 310ca162d779efee8a2dc3731439680f3e9c1e86 upstream.

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference [1] which is caused by
race condition between ioctl(loop_fd, LOOP_CLR_FD, 0) versus
ioctl(other_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, loop_fd) due to traversing other
loop devices at loop_validate_file() without holding corresponding
lo-&gt;lo_ctl_mutex locks.

Since ioctl() request on loop devices is not frequent operation, we don't
need fine grained locking. Let's use global lock in order to allow safe
traversal at loop_validate_file().

Note that syzbot is also reporting circular locking dependency between
bdev-&gt;bd_mutex and lo-&gt;lo_ctl_mutex [2] which is caused by calling
blkdev_reread_part() with lock held. This patch does not address it.

commit fef912bf860e upstream.
commit 98af4d4df889 upstream.

I got a report from Howard Chen that he saw zram and sysfs race(ie,
zram block device file is created but sysfs for it isn't yet)
when he tried to create new zram devices via hotadd knob.

v4.20 kernel fixes it by [1, 2] but it's too large size to merge
into -stable so this patch fixes the problem by registering defualt
group by Greg KH's approach[3].

This patch should be applied to every stable tree [3.16+] currently
existing from kernel.org because the problem was introduced at 2.6.37
by [4].

If we fail to allocate the request queue for a disk, we still need to
free that disk, not just the previous ones. Additionally, we need to
cleanup the previous request queues.

[ Upstream commit 71327f547ee3a46ec5c39fdbbd268401b2578d0e ]

Move queue allocation next to disk allocation to fix a couple of issues:

- If add_disk() hasn't been called, we should clear disk-&gt;queue before
  calling put_disk().
- If we fail to allocate a request queue, we still need to put all of
  the disks, not just the ones that we allocated queues for.
