[ Upstream commit 1c500ad706383f1a6609e63d0b5d1723fd84dab9 ]

syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for
commit a160c6159d4a0cf8 ("block: add an optional probe callback to
major_names") is calling the module's probe function with major_names_lock
held.

Fortunately, since commit 990e78116d38059c ("block: loop: fix deadlock
between open and remove") stopped holding loop_ctl_mutex in lo_open(),
current role of loop_ctl_mutex is to serialize access to loop_index_idr
and loop_add()/loop_remove(); in other words, management of id for IDR.
To avoid holding loop_ctl_mutex during whole add/remove operation, use
a bool flag to indicate whether the loop device is ready for use.

loop_unregister_transfer() which is called from cleanup_cryptoloop()
currently has possibility of use-after-free problem due to lack of
serialization between kfree() from loop_remove() from loop_control_remove()
and mutex_lock() from unregister_transfer_cb(). But since lo-&gt;lo_encryption
should be already NULL when this function is called due to module unload,
and commit 222013f9ac30b9ce ("cryptoloop: add a deprecation warning")
indicates that we will remove this function shortly, this patch updates
this function to emit warning instead of checking lo-&gt;lo_encryption.

Holding loop_ctl_mutex in loop_exit() is pointless, for all users must
close /dev/loop-control and /dev/loop$num (in order to drop module's
refcount to 0) before loop_exit() starts, and nobody can open
/dev/loop-control or /dev/loop$num afterwards.

<title>block: nbd: add sanity check for first_minor</title>

[ Upstream commit b1a811633f7321cf1ae2bb76a66805b7720e44c9 ]

Syzbot hit WARNING in internal_create_group(). The problem was in
too big disk-&gt;first_minor.

disk-&gt;first_minor is initialized by value, which comes from userspace
and there wasn't any sanity checks about value correctness. It can cause
duplicate creation of sysfs files/links, because disk-&gt;first_minor will
be passed to MKDEV() which causes truncation to byte. Since maximum
minor value is 0xff, let's check if first_minor is correct minor number.

NOTE: the root case of the reported warning was in wrong error handling
in register_disk(), but we can avoid passing knowingly wrong values to
sysfs API, because sysfs error messages can confuse users. For example:
user passed 1048576 as index, but sysfs complains about duplicate
creation of /dev/block/43:0. It's not obvious how 1048576 becomes 0.
Log and reproducer for above example can be found on syzkaller bug
report page.

<title>nbd: do del_gendisk() asynchronously for NBD_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT</title>

[ Upstream commit 68c9417b193d0d174b0ada013602272177e61303 ]

Now open_mutex is used to synchronize partition operations (e.g,
blk_drop_partitions() and blkdev_reread_part()), however it makes
nbd driver broken, because nbd may call del_gendisk() in nbd_release()
or nbd_genl_disconnect() if NBD_CFLAG_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT is enabled,
and deadlock occurs, as shown below:

// AB-BA dead-lock
nbd_genl_disconnect            blkdev_open
  nbd_disconnect_and_put
                                 lock bd_mutex
  // last ref
  nbd_put
    lock nbd_index_mutex
      del_gendisk
                                   nbd_open
                                     try lock nbd_index_mutex
        try lock bd_mutex

 or

// AA dead-lock
nbd_release
  lock bd_mutex
    nbd_put
      try lock bd_mutex

Instead of fixing block layer (e.g, introduce another lock), fixing
the nbd driver to call del_gendisk() in a kworker when
NBD_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT is enabled. When NBD_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT
is disabled, nbd device will always be destroy through module removal,
and there is no risky of deadlock.

To ensure the reuse of nbd index succeeds, moving the calling of
idr_remove() after del_gendisk(), so if the reused index is not found
in nbd_index_idr, the old disk must have been deleted. And reusing
the existing destroy_complete mechanism to ensure nbd_genl_connect()
will wait for the completion of del_gendisk().

Also adding a new workqueue for nbd removal, so nbd_cleanup()
can ensure all removals complete before exits.

commit c7e9d0020361f4308a70cdfd6d5335e273eb8717 upstream.

The patch breaks userspace implementations (e.g. fdutils) and introduces
regressions in behaviour. Previously, it was possible to O_NDELAY open a
floppy device with no media inserted or with write protected media without
an error. Some userspace tools use this particular behavior for probing.

It's not the first time when we revert this patch. Previous revert is in
commit f2791e7eadf4 (Revert "floppy: refactor open() flags handling").

This reverts commit 8a0c014cd20516ade9654fc13b51345ec58e7be8.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - Revert the mq-deadline priority handling, it's causing serious
   performance regressions. While experimental patches exists to fix
   this up, it's too late to do so now. Revert it and re-do it properly
   for 5.15 instead.

 - Fix a NULL vs IS_ERR() regression in this release (Dan)

 - Fix a mq-deadline accounting regression in this release (Bart)

 - Mark cryptoloop as deprecated. It's broken and dm-crypt fully
   supports it, and it's actively intefering with loop. Plan on removal
   for 5.16 (Christoph)

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - Revert the mq-deadline priority handling, it's causing serious
   performance regressions. While experimental patches exists to fix
   this up, it's too late to do so now. Revert it and re-do it properly
   for 5.15 instead.

 - Fix a NULL vs IS_ERR() regression in this release (Dan)

 - Fix a mq-deadline accounting regression in this release (Bart)

 - Mark cryptoloop as deprecated. It's broken and dm-crypt fully
   supports it, and it's actively intefering with loop. Plan on removal
   for 5.16 (Christoph)

Support for cryptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated
in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if
needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has
been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April
2013).  Add a warning and a deprecation schedule.

blk_mq_alloc_disk() returns error pointers, it doesn't return NULL
so correct the check.
