commit 2e90ca68b0d2f5548804f22f0dd61145516171e3 upstream.

Jordy Zomer reported a KASAN out-of-bounds read in the floppy driver in
wait_til_ready().

Which on the face of it can't happen, since as Willy Tarreau points out,
the function does no particular memory access.  Except through the FDCS
macro, which just indexes a static allocation through teh current fdc,
which is always checked against N_FDC.

Except the checking happens after we've already assigned the value.

The floppy driver is a disgrace (a lot of it going back to my original
horrd "design"), and has no real maintainer.  Nobody has the hardware,
and nobody really cares.  But it still gets used in virtual environment
because it's one of those things that everybody supports.

The whole thing should be re-written, or at least parts of it should be
seriously cleaned up.  The 'current fdc' index, which is used by the
FDCS macro, and which is often shadowed by a local 'fdc' variable, is a
prime example of how not to write code.

But because nobody has the hardware or the motivation, let's just fix up
the immediate problem with a nasty band-aid: test the fdc index before
actually assigning it to the static 'fdc' variable.

[ Upstream commit c8ab422553c81a0eb070329c63725df1cd1425bc ]

In brd_init func, rd_nr num of brd_device are firstly allocated
and add in brd_devices, then brd_devices are traversed to add each
brd_device by calling add_disk func. When allocating brd_device,
the disk-&gt;first_minor is set to i * max_part, if rd_nr * max_part
is larger than MINORMASK, two different brd_device may have the same
devt, then only one of them can be successfully added.
when rmmod brd.ko, it will cause oops when calling brd_exit.

Follow those steps:
  # modprobe brd rd_nr=3 rd_size=102400 max_part=1048576
  # rmmod brd
then, the oops will appear.

Oops log:

<title>signal: Allow cifs and drbd to receive their terminating signals</title>

[ Upstream commit 33da8e7c814f77310250bb54a9db36a44c5de784 ]

My recent to change to only use force_sig for a synchronous events
wound up breaking signal reception cifs and drbd.  I had overlooked
the fact that by default kthreads start out with all signals set to
SIG_IGN.  So a change I thought was safe turned out to have made it
impossible for those kernel thread to catch their signals.

Reverting the work on force_sig is a bad idea because what the code
was doing was very much a misuse of force_sig.  As the way force_sig
ultimately allowed the signal to happen was to change the signal
handler to SIG_DFL.  Which after the first signal will allow userspace
to send signals to these kernel threads.  At least for
wake_ack_receiver in drbd that does not appear actively wrong.

So correct this problem by adding allow_kernel_signal that will allow
signals whose siginfo reports they were sent by the kernel through,
but will not allow userspace generated signals, and update cifs and
drbd to call allow_kernel_signal in an appropriate place so that their
thread can receive this signal.

Fixing things this way ensures that userspace won't be able to send
signals and cause problems, that it is clear which signals the
threads are expecting to receive, and it guarantees that nothing
else in the system will be affected.

This change was partly inspired by similar cifs and drbd patches that
added allow_signal.

commit 589b72894f53124a39d1bb3c0cecaf9dcabac417 upstream.

Clang warns:

../drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:1117:4: warning: misleading indentation;
statement is not part of the previous 'if' [-Wmisleading-indentation]
                nr_parts = PARTS_PER_DISK;

                if (err)
                ^

This is because there is a space at the beginning of this line; remove
it so that the indentation is consistent according to the Linux kernel
coding style and clang no longer warns.

While we are here, the previous line has some trailing whitespace; clean
that up as well.

[ Upstream commit f9bd84a8a845d82f9b5a081a7ae68c98a11d2e84 ]

For each I/O request, blkback first maps the foreign pages for the
request to its local pages.  If an allocation of a local page for the
mapping fails, it should unmap every mapping already made for the
request.

However, blkback's handling mechanism for the allocation failure does
not mark the remaining foreign pages as unmapped.  Therefore, the unmap
function merely tries to unmap every valid grant page for the request,
including the pages not mapped due to the allocation failure.  On a
system that fails the allocation frequently, this problem leads to
following kernel crash.

[ Upstream commit fa2ac657f9783f0891b2935490afe9a7fd29d3fa ]

Objects allocated by xen_blkif_alloc come from the 'blkif_cache' kmem
cache. This cache is destoyed when xen-blkif is unloaded so it is
necessary to wait for the deferred free routine used for such objects to
complete. This necessity was missed in commit 14855954f636 "xen-blkback:
allow module to be cleanly unloaded". This patch fixes the problem by
taking/releasing extra module references in xen_blkif_alloc/free()
respectively.

when probe fails.

<title>drbd: do not block when adjusting "disk-options" while IO is frozen</title>

[ Upstream commit f708bd08ecbdc23d03aaedf5b3311ebe44cfdb50 ]

"suspending" IO is overloaded.
It can mean "do not allow new requests" (obviously),
but it also may mean "must not complete pending IO",
for example while the fencing handlers do their arbitration.

When adjusting disk options, we suspend io (disallow new requests), then
wait for the activity-log to become unused (drain all IO completions),
and possibly replace it with a new activity log of different size.

If the other "suspend IO" aspect is active, pending IO completions won't
happen, and we would block forever (unkillable drbdsetup process).

Fix this by skipping the activity log adjustment if the "al-extents"
setting did not change. Also, in case it did change, fail early without
blocking if it looks like we would block forever.

<title>drbd: reject attach of unsuitable uuids even if connected</title>

[ Upstream commit fe43ed97bba3b11521abd934b83ed93143470e4f ]

Multiple failure scenario:
a) all good
   Connected Primary/Secondary UpToDate/UpToDate
b) lose disk on Primary,
   Connected Primary/Secondary Diskless/UpToDate
c) continue to write to the device,
   changes only make it to the Secondary storage.
d) lose disk on Secondary,
   Connected Primary/Secondary Diskless/Diskless
e) now try to re-attach on Primary

This would have succeeded before, even though that is clearly the
wrong data set to attach to (missing the modifications from c).
Because we only compared our "effective" and the "to-be-attached"
data generation uuid tags if (device-&gt;state.conn &lt; C_CONNECTED).

Fix: change that constraint to (device-&gt;state.pdsk != D_UP_TO_DATE)
compare the uuids, and reject the attach.

This patch also tries to improve the reverse scenario:
first lose Secondary, then Primary disk,
then try to attach the disk on Secondary.

Before this patch, the attach on the Secondary succeeds, but since commit
drbd: disconnect, if the wrong UUIDs are attached on a connected peer
the Primary will notice unsuitable data, and drop the connection hard.

Though unfortunately at a point in time during the handshake where
we cannot easily abort the attach on the peer without more
refactoring of the handshake.

We now reject any attach to "unsuitable" uuids,
as long as we can see a Primary role,
unless we already have access to "good" data.
