[ Upstream commit 55793ea54d77719a071b1ccc05a05056e3b5e009 ]

We tested and found an alarm caused by nbd_ioctl arg without verification.
The UBSAN warning calltrace like below:

The reason for triggering this warning is __block_write_full_page()
-&gt; i_size_read(inode) - 1 overflow.
inode-&gt;i_size is assigned in __nbd_ioctl() -&gt; nbd_set_size() -&gt; bytesize.
We think it is necessary to limit the size of arg to prevent errors.

Moreover, __nbd_ioctl() -&gt; nbd_add_socket(), arg will be cast to int.
Assuming the value of arg is 0x80000000000000001) (on a 64-bit machine),
it will become 1 after the coercion, which will return unexpected results.

Fix it by adding checks to prevent passing in too large numbers.

Make sure to check device queue mode in the null_validate_conf() and

this patch we get OOPs when queue mode is set to 1 from configfs,
following are repro steps :-

[ Upstream commit c0b79b0ff53be5b05be98e3caaa6a39de1fe9520 ]

Add timeout handler, so that we can provide forward progress guarantee for
unprivileged ublk, which can't be trusted.

One thing is that sync() calls sync_bdevs(wait) for all block devices after
running sync_bdevs(no_wait), and if one device can't move on, the sync() won't
return any more.

Add timeout for unprivileged ublk to avoid such affect for other users which call
sync() syscall.

Meantime clear UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_REISSUE for unprivileged ublk since
that feature may cause IO hang too.

<title>drbd: correctly submit flush bio on barrier</title>

<id>3cd4698f126e6e21975a924d0ee56a2c0b900ec7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3899d94e3831ee07ea6821c032dc297aec80586a upstream.

When we receive a flush command (or "barrier" in DRBD), we currently use
a REQ_OP_FLUSH with the REQ_PREFLUSH flag set.

The correct way to submit a flush bio is by using a REQ_OP_WRITE without
any data, and set the REQ_PREFLUSH flag.

Since commit b4a6bb3a67aa ("block: add a sanity check for non-write
flush/fua bios"), this triggers a warning in the block layer, but this
has been broken for quite some time before that.

So use the correct set of flags to actually make the flush happen.

commit 3899d94e3831ee07ea6821c032dc297aec80586a upstream.

When we receive a flush command (or "barrier" in DRBD), we currently use
a REQ_OP_FLUSH with the REQ_PREFLUSH flag set.

The correct way to submit a flush bio is by using a REQ_OP_WRITE without
any data, and set the REQ_PREFLUSH flag.

Since commit b4a6bb3a67aa ("block: add a sanity check for non-write
flush/fua bios"), this triggers a warning in the block layer, but this

block size is one very key setting for block layer, and bad block size
could panic kernel easily.

Make sure that block size is set correctly.

Meantime if ublk_validate_params() fails, clear ub-&gt;params so that disk
is prevented from being added.

<title>ublk: read any SQE values upfront</title>

Since SQE memory is shared with userspace, we should only be reading it
once. We cannot read it multiple times, particularly when it's read once
for validation and then read again for the actual use.

ublk_ch_uring_cmd() is safe when called as a retry operation, as the
memory backing is stable at that point. But for normal issue, we want
to ensure that we only read ublksrv_io_cmd once. Wrap the function in
a helper that reads the value into an on-stack copy of the struct.

<title>virtio-blk: fix ZBD probe in kernels without ZBD support</title>

<content type='text'>
When the kernel is built without support for zoned block devices,
virtio-blk probe needs to error out any host-managed device scans
to prevent such devices from appearing in the system as non-zoned.
The current virtio-blk code simply bypasses all ZBD checks if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is not defined and this leads to host-managed
block devices being presented as non-zoned in the OS. This is one of
the main problems this patch series is aimed to fix.

In this patch, make VIRTIO_BLK_F_ZONED feature defined even when
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is not. This change makes the code compliant with
the voted revision of virtio-blk ZBD spec. Modify the probe code to
look at the situation when VIRTIO_BLK_F_ZONED is negotiated in a kernel
that is built without ZBD support. In this case, the code checks
the zoned model of the device and fails the probe is the device
is host-managed.

The patch also adds the comment to clarify that the call to perform
the zoned device probe is correctly placed after virtio_device ready().

The merged patch series to support zoned block devices in virtio-blk
is not the most up to date version. The merged patch can be found at

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20221016034127.330942-3-dmitry.fomichev@wdc.com/

but the latest and reviewed version is

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20221110053952.3378990-3-dmitry.fomichev@wdc.com/

The reason is apparently that the correct mailing lists and
maintainers were not copied.

The differences between the two are mostly cleanups, but there is one
change that is very important in terms of compatibility with the
approved virtio-zbd specification.

Before it was approved, the OASIS virtio spec had a change in
VIRTIO_BLK_T_ZONE_APPEND request layout that is not reflected in the
current virtio-blk driver code. In the running code, the status is
the first byte of the in-header that is followed by some pad bytes
and the u64 that carries the sector at which the data has been written
to the zone back to the driver, aka the append sector.

This layout turned out to be problematic for implementing in QEMU and
the request status byte has been eventually made the last byte of the
in-header. The current code doesn't expect that and this causes the
append sector value always come as zero to the block layer. This needs
to be fixed ASAP.

<title>loop: LOOP_CONFIGURE: send uevents for partitions</title>

<id>bb430b69422640891b0b8db762885730579a4145</id>
<content type='text'>
LOOP_CONFIGURE is, as far as I understand it, supposed to be a way to
combine LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64 into a single syscall.  When
using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64, a single uevent would be sent for
each partition found on the loop device after the second ioctl(), but
when using LOOP_CONFIGURE, no such uevent was being sent.

In the old setup, uevents are disabled for LOOP_SET_FD, but not for
LOOP_SET_STATUS64.  This makes sense, as it prevents uevents being
sent for a partially configured device during LOOP_SET_FD - they're
only sent at the end of LOOP_SET_STATUS64.  But for LOOP_CONFIGURE,
uevents were disabled for the entire operation, so that final
notification was never issued.  To fix this, reduce the critical
section to exclude the loop_reread_partitions() call, which causes
the uevents to be issued, to after uevents are re-enabled, matching
the behaviour of the LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 combination.

I noticed this because Busybox's losetup program recently changed from
using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 to LOOP_CONFIGURE, and this broke
my setup, for which I want a notification from the kernel any time a
new partition becomes available.
