commit 0549cd67b01016b579047bce045b386202a8bcfc upstream.

This is inline with the specification described in blkif.h:

 * discard-granularity: should be set to the physical block size if
   node is not present.
 * discard-alignment, discard-secure: should be set to 0 if node not
   present.

This was detected as QEMU would only create the discard-granularity
node but not discard-alignment, and thus the setup done in
blkfront_setup_discard would fail.

Fix blkfront_setup_discard to not fail on missing nodes, and also fix
blkif_set_queue_limits to set the discard granularity to the physical
block size if none is specified in xenbus.

Fixes: ed30bf317c5ce ('xen-blkfront: Handle discard requests.')

commit b98e762e3d71e893b221f871825dc64694cfb258 upstream.

When setting up a device, we can krealloc the config-&gt;socks array to add
new sockets to the configuration.  However if we happen to get a IO
request in at this point even though we aren't setup we could hit a UAF,
as we deref config-&gt;socks without any locking, assuming that the
configuration was setup already and that -&gt;socks is safe to access it as
we have a reference on the configuration.

But there's nothing really preventing IO from occurring at this point of
the device setup, we don't want to incur the overhead of a lock to
access -&gt;socks when it will never change while the device is running.
To fix this UAF scenario simply freeze the queue if we are adding
sockets.  This will protect us from this particular case without adding
any additional overhead for the normal running case.

commit 0ebcdd702f49aeb0ad2e2d894f8c124a0acc6e23 upstream.

For a null_blk device with zoned mode enabled is currently initialized
with a number of zones equal to the device capacity divided by the zone
size, without considering if the device capacity is a multiple of the
zone size. If the zone size is not a divisor of the capacity, the zones
end up not covering the entire capacity, potentially resulting is out
of bounds accesses to the zone array.

Fix this by adding one last smaller zone with a size equal to the
remainder of the disk capacity divided by the zone size if the capacity
is not a multiple of the zone size. For such smaller last zone, the zone
capacity is also checked so that it does not exceed the smaller zone
size.

<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.

[ Upstream commit 87aac3a80af5cbad93e63250e8a1e19095ba0d30 ]

There has one race case for ceph's rbd-nbd tool. When do mapping
it may fail with EBUSY from ioctl(nbd, NBD_DO_IT), but actually
the nbd device has already unmaped.

It dues to if just after the wake_up(), the recv_work() is scheduled
out and defers calling the nbd_config_put(), though the map process
has exited the "nbd-&gt;recv_task" is not cleared.

commit 01263a1fabe30b4d542f34c7e2364a22587ddaf2 upstream.

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.
