commit 6cc4a0863c9709c512280c64e698d68443ac8053 upstream.

info-&gt;nr_rings isn't adjusted in case of ENOMEM error from
negotiate_mq(). This leads to kernel panic in error path.

Typical call stack involving panic -
 #8 page_fault at ffffffff8175936f
    [exception RIP: blkif_free_ring+33]
    RIP: ffffffffa0149491  RSP: ffff8804f7673c08  RFLAGS: 00010292

<title>xen/blkfront: avoid NULL blkfront_info dereference on device removal</title>

commit f92898e7f32e3533bfd95be174044bc349d416ca upstream.

If a block device is hot-added when we are out of grants,
gnttab_grant_foreign_access fails with -ENOSPC (log message "28
granting access to ring page") in this code path:

  talk_to_blkback -&gt;
	setup_blkring -&gt;
		xenbus_grant_ring -&gt;
			gnttab_grant_foreign_access

and the failing path in talk_to_blkback sets the driver_data to NULL:

 destroy_blkring:
        blkif_free(info, 0);

        mutex_lock(&amp;blkfront_mutex);
        free_info(info);
        mutex_unlock(&amp;blkfront_mutex);

        dev_set_drvdata(&amp;dev-&gt;dev, NULL);

This results in a NULL pointer BUG when blkfront_remove and blkif_free
try to access the failing device's NULL struct blkfront_info.

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.

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

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.

So, It can be exploited via Spectre-like attack. (speculative execution)

This kind of attack leaks address of pkt_devs, [1]
It leads an attacker to bypass security mechanism such as KASLR.

So sanitize @dev_minor before using it to prevent attack.

<title>drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c: fix bug storing backing_dev</title>

commit c8bd134a4bddafe5917d163eea73873932c15e83 upstream.

The call to strlcpy in backing_dev_store is incorrect. It should take
the size of the destination buffer instead of the size of the source
buffer.  Additionally, ignore the newline character (\n) when reading
the new file_name buffer. This makes it possible to set the backing_dev
as follows:

	echo /dev/sdX &gt; /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev

The reason it worked before was the fact that strlcpy() copies 'len - 1'
bytes, which is strlen(buf) - 1 in our case, so it accidentally didn't
copy the trailing new line symbol.  Which also means that "echo -n
/dev/sdX" most likely was broken.

commit c8bd134a4bddafe5917d163eea73873932c15e83 upstream.

The call to strlcpy in backing_dev_store is incorrect. It should take
the size of the destination buffer instead of the size of the source
buffer.  Additionally, ignore the newline character (\n) when reading
the new file_name buffer. This makes it possible to set the backing_dev
as follows:

	echo /dev/sdX &gt; /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev

The reason it worked before was the fact that strlcpy() copies 'len - 1'
bytes, which is strlen(buf) - 1 in our case, so it accidentally didn't
copy the trailing new line symbol.  Which also means that "echo -n
/dev/sdX" most likely was broken.

<title>zram: remove BD_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO with writeback feature</title>

If zram supports writeback feature, it's no longer a
BD_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO device beause zram does asynchronous IO operations
for incompressible pages.

Do not pretend to be synchronous IO device.  It makes the system very
sluggish due to waiting for IO completion from upper layers.

Furthermore, it causes a user-after-free problem because swap thinks the
opearion is done when the IO functions returns so it can free the page
(e.g., lock_page_or_retry and goto out_release in do_swap_page) but in
fact, IO is asynchronous so the driver could access a just freed page
afterward.

This patch fixes the problem.
