[ Upstream commit 093c48213ee37c3c3ff1cf5ac1aa2a9d8bc66017 ]

In probe_gdrom(), the buffer pointed by 'gd.cd_info' is allocated through
kzalloc() and is used to hold the information of the gdrom device. To
register and unregister the device, the pointer 'gd.cd_info' is passed to
the functions register_cdrom() and unregister_cdrom(), respectively.
However, this buffer is not freed after it is used, which can cause a
memory leak bug.

This patch simply frees the buffer 'gd.cd_info' in exit_gdrom() to fix the
above issue.

commit e4f3aa2e1e67bb48dfbaaf1cad59013d5a5bc276 upstream.

There is another cast from unsigned long to int which causes
a bounds check to fail with specially crafted input. The value is
then used as an index in the slot array in cdrom_slot_status().

This issue is similar to CVE-2018-16658 and CVE-2018-10940.

This removes more casts of struct request_sense and uses the standard
struct scsi_sense_hdr instead. This also fixes any possible stale values
since the prior code did not check the sense length.

There is a lot of needless struct request_sense usage in the CDROM
code. These can all be struct scsi_sense_hdr instead, to avoid any
confusion over their respective structure sizes. This patch is a lot
of noise changing "sense" to "sshdr", but the final code is more
readable to distinguish between "sense" meaning "struct request_sense"
and "sshdr" meaning "struct scsi_sense_hdr".

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

This cast is wrong.  "cdi-&gt;capacity" is an int and "arg" is an unsigned
long.  The way the check is written now, if one of the high 32 bits is
set then we could read outside the info-&gt;slots[] array.

This bug is pretty old and it predates git.

This task was trying to mount the cdrom.  It allocated and configured a
super_block struct and owned the write-lock for the super_block-&gt;s_umount
rwsem. While exclusively owning the s_umount lock, it called
sr_block_ioctl and waited to acquire the global sr_mutex lock.

This task tried to open the cdrom device, the sr_block_open function
acquired the global sr_mutex lock. The call to check_disk_change()
then saw an event flag indicating a possible media change and tried
to flush any cached data for the device.
As part of the flush, it tried to acquire the super_block-&gt;s_umount
lock associated with the cdrom device.
This was the same super_block as created and locked by the previous task.

The first task acquires the s_umount lock and then the sr_mutex_lock;
the second task acquires the sr_mutex_lock and then the s_umount lock.

This patch fixes the issue by moving check_disk_change() out of
cdrom_open() and let the caller take care of it.

This task tried to open the cdrom device, the sr_block_open function
acquired the global sr_mutex lock. The call to check_disk_change()
then saw an event flag indicating a possible media change and tried
to flush any cached data for the device.
As part of the flush, it tried to acquire the super_block-&gt;s_umount
lock associated with the cdrom device.
This was the same super_block as created and locked by the previous task.

The first task acquires the s_umount lock and then the sr_mutex_lock;
the second task acquires the sr_mutex_lock and then the s_umount lock.

This patch fixes the issue by moving check_disk_change() out of
cdrom_open() and let the caller take care of it.

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
  like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
  In particular, this pull request contains:

   - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
     quescing.

   - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
     multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.

   - NVMe
        - Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
        - Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
        - Command side-effects support (Keith).
        - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
        - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)

   - bcache
        - New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)
        - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)

   - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

   - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).

   - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
     driver code"

* 'for-4.15/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (294 commits)
  nvme: fix visibility of "uuid" ns attribute
  blk-mq: fixup some comment typos and lengths
  ide: ide-atapi: fix compile error with defining macro DEBUG
  blk-mq: improve tag waiting setup for non-shared tags
  brd: remove unused brd_mutex
  blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pending
  block: avoid null pointer dereference on null disk
  fs: guard_bio_eod() needs to consider partitions
  xtensa/simdisk: fix compile error
  nvme: expose subsys attribute to sysfs
  nvme: create 'slaves' and 'holders' entries for hidden controllers
  block: create 'slaves' and 'holders' entries for hidden gendisks
  nvme: also expose the namespace identification sysfs files for mpath nodes
  nvme: implement multipath access to nvme subsystems
  nvme: track shared namespaces
  nvme: introduce a nvme_ns_ids structure
  nvme: track subsystems
  block, nvme: Introduce blk_mq_req_flags_t
  block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably
  block: Add the QUEUE_FLAG_PREEMPT_ONLY request queue flag
