commit 8a0c014cd20516ade9654fc13b51345ec58e7be8 upstream.

This issue was originally fixed in 09954bad4 ("floppy: refactor open()
flags handling").

The fix as a side-effect, however, introduce issue for open(O_ACCMODE)
that is being used for ioctl-only open. I wrote a fix for that, but
instead of it being merged, full revert of 09954bad4 was performed,
re-introducing the O_NDELAY / O_NONBLOCK issue, and it strikes again.

This is a forward-port of the original fix to current codebase; the
original submission had the changelog below:

====
Commit 09954bad4 ("floppy: refactor open() flags handling"), as a
side-effect, causes open(/dev/fdX, O_ACCMODE) to fail. It turns out that
this is being used setfdprm userspace for ioctl-only open().

Reintroduce back the original behavior wrt !(FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE)
modes, while still keeping the original O_NDELAY bug fixed.

<title>block: Move SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT definitions into &lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt;</title>

commit 233bde21aa43516baa013ef7ac33f3427056db3e upstream.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.

Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

commit 871997bc9e423f05c7da7c9178e62dde5df2a7f8 upstream.

The function uses a goto-based loop, which may lead to an earlier error
getting discarded by a later iteration. Exit this ad-hoc loop when an
error was encountered.

The out-of-memory error path additionally fails to fill a structure
field looked at by xen_blkbk_unmap_prepare() before inspecting the
handle which does get properly set (to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE).

Since the earlier exiting from the ad-hoc loop requires the same field
filling (invalidation) as that on the out-of-memory path, fold both
paths. While doing so, drop the pr_alert(), as extra log messages aren't
going to help the situation (the kernel will log oom conditions already
anyway).

This is XSA-365.

commit 5a264285ed1cd32e26d9de4f3c8c6855e467fd63 upstream.

In particular -ENOMEM may come back here, from set_foreign_p2m_mapping().
Don't make problems worse, the more that handling elsewhere (together
with map's status fields now indicating whether a mapping wasn't even
attempted, and hence has to be considered failed) doesn't require this
odd way of dealing with errors.

This is part of XSA-362.

<title>xen-blkback: set ring-&gt;xenblkd to NULL after kthread_stop()</title>

commit 1c728719a4da6e654afb9cc047164755072ed7c9 upstream.

When xen_blkif_disconnect() is called, the kernel thread behind the
block interface is stopped by calling kthread_stop(ring-&gt;xenblkd).
The ring-&gt;xenblkd thread pointer being non-NULL determines if the
thread has been already stopped.
Normally, the thread's function xen_blkif_schedule() sets the
ring-&gt;xenblkd to NULL, when the thread's main loop ends.

However, when the thread has not been started yet (i.e.
wake_up_process() has not been called on it), the xen_blkif_schedule()
function would not be called yet.

In such case the kthread_stop() call returns -EINTR and the
ring-&gt;xenblkd remains dangling.
When this happens, any consecutive call to xen_blkif_disconnect (for
example in frontend_changed() callback) leads to a kernel crash in
kthread_stop() (e.g. NULL pointer dereference in exit_creds()).

This is XSA-350.

In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due
to event storms triggered by a misbehaving blkfront use the lateeoi
irq binding for blkback and unmask the event channel only after
processing all pending requests.

As the thread processing requests is used to do purging work in regular
intervals an EOI may be sent only after having received an event. If
there was no pending I/O request flag the EOI as spurious.

This is part of XSA-332.

<title>rbd: require global CAP_SYS_ADMIN for mapping and unmapping</title>

commit f44d04e696feaf13d192d942c4f14ad2e117065a upstream.

It turns out that currently we rely only on sysfs attribute
permissions:

  $ ll /sys/bus/rbd/{add*,remove*}
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:37 /sys/bus/rbd/add
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:37 /sys/bus/rbd/add_single_major
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:37 /sys/bus/rbd/remove
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:38 /sys/bus/rbd/remove_single_major

This means that images can be mapped and unmapped (i.e. block devices
can be created and deleted) by a UID 0 process even after it drops all
privileges or by any process with CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE in its user namespace
as long as UID 0 is mapped into that user namespace.

Be consistent with other virtual block devices (loop, nbd, dm, md, etc)
and require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace for mapping and
unmapping, and also for dumping the configuration string and refreshing
the image header.
