commit c8a83a6b54d0ca078de036aafb3f6af58c1dc5eb upstream.

NBD can update block device block size implicitely through
bd_set_size(). Make it explicitely set blocksize with set_blocksize() as
this behavior of bd_set_size() is going away.

commit e544541b0765c341174613b416d4b074fa7571c2 upstream.

We noticed when trying to do O_DIRECT to an export on the server side
that we were getting requests smaller than the 4k sectorsize of the
device.  This is because the client isn't setting the logical and
physical blocksizes properly for the underlying device.  Fix this up by
setting the queue blocksizes and then calling bd_set_size.

Commit 0a42e99b58a20883 ("loop: Get rid of loop_index_mutex") forgot to
remove mutex_unlock(&amp;loop_ctl_mutex) from loop_control_ioctl() when
replacing loop_index_mutex with loop_ctl_mutex.

commit 0a42e99b58a208839626465af194cfe640ef9493 upstream.

Now that loop_ctl_mutex is global, just get rid of loop_index_mutex as
there is no good reason to keep these two separate and it just
complicates the locking.

__loop_release() has a single call site. Fold it there. This is
currently not a huge win but it will make following replacement of
loop_index_mutex more obvious.

<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.

<title>rbd: don't return 0 on unmap if RBD_DEV_FLAG_REMOVING is set</title>

commit 85f5a4d666fd9be73856ed16bb36c5af5b406b29 upstream.

There is a window between when RBD_DEV_FLAG_REMOVING is set and when
the device is removed from rbd_dev_list.  During this window, we set
"already" and return 0.

Returning 0 from write(2) can confuse userspace tools because
0 indicates that nothing was written.  In particular, "rbd unmap"
will retry the write multiple times a second:

  10:28:05.463299 write(4, "0", 1)        = 0
  10:28:05.463509 write(4, "0", 1)        = 0
  10:28:05.463720 write(4, "0", 1)        = 0
  10:28:05.463942 write(4, "0", 1)        = 0
  10:28:05.464155 write(4, "0", 1)        = 0

showing that we never complete that read request. The reason is that
the completion setup is racy - it initializes the completion event
AFTER submitting the IO, which means that the IO could complete
before/during the init. If it does, we are passing garbage to
complete() and we may sleep forever waiting for the event to
occur.

showing that we never complete that read request. The reason is that
the completion setup is racy - it initializes the completion event
AFTER submitting the IO, which means that the IO could complete
before/during the init. If it does, we are passing garbage to
complete() and we may sleep forever waiting for the event to
occur.

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].

<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.
