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.

If we fail to allocate the request queue for a disk, we still 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.

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this moves
the math for cookies calculation into macros and allocates a fixed size
array for the maximum number of cookies and adds a runtime sanity check.
(Note that the size was always fixed, but just hidden from the compiler.)

Commit a46b53672b2c ("xen/blkfront: cleanup stale persistent grants")
added support for purging persistent grants when they are not in use. As
part of the purge, the grants were removed from the grant buffer, This
eventually causes the buffer to become empty, with BUG_ON triggered in
get_free_grant(). This can be observed even on an idle system, within
20-30 minutes.

We should keep the grants in the buffer when purging, and only free the
grant ref.
