[ Upstream commit 2bbea6e117357d17842114c65e9a9cf2d13ae8a3 ]

when mounting an ISO filesystem sometimes (very rarely)
the system hangs because of a race condition between two tasks.

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.

Pull block layer driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for 3.18.  Not a lot in there
  this round, and nothing earth shattering.

   - A round of drbd fixes from the linbit team, and an improvement in
     asender performance.

   - Removal of deprecated (and unused) IRQF_DISABLED flag in rsxx and
     hd from Michael Opdenacker.

   - Disable entropy collection from flash devices by default, from Mike
     Snitzer.

   - A small collection of xen blkfront/back fixes from Roger Pau Monné
     and Vitaly Kuznetsov"

* 'for-3.18/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices
  xen, blkfront: factor out flush-related checks from do_blkif_request()
  xen-blkback: fix leak on grant map error path
  xen/blkback: unmap all persistent grants when frontend gets disconnected
  rsxx: Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED
  block: hd: remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED
  drbd: use RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() to define augment callbacks
  drbd: compute the end before rb_insert_augmented()
  drbd: Add missing newline in resync progress display in /proc/drbd
  drbd: reduce lock contention in drbd_worker
  drbd: Improve asender performance
  drbd: Get rid of the WORK_PENDING macro
  drbd: Get rid of the __no_warn and __cond_lock macros
  drbd: Avoid inconsistent locking warning
  drbd: Remove superfluous newline from "resync_extents" debugfs entry.
  drbd: Use consistent names for all the bi_end_io callbacks
  drbd: Use better variable names

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18.  Apart from the new
  and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
  and cleanups.

   - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.

   - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph.  We pass it through the
     -&gt;queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
     bits.  The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
     REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.

   - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.

   - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei.  Now we
     have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
     code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.

   - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.

   - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.

   - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.

   - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
     where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
     Lawrence.

   - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
     devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
     without preallocating a lot of memory.

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18.  Apart from the new
  and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
  and cleanups.

   - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.

   - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph.  We pass it through the
     -&gt;queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
     bits.  The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
     REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.

   - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.

   - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei.  Now we
     have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
     code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.

   - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.

   - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.

   - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.

   - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
     where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
     Lawrence.

   - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
     devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
     without preallocating a lot of memory.

   - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
     hardware queues from me.

The Linux kernel coding style guidelines suggest not using typedefs
for structure types. This patch gets rid of the typedef for
atiixp_ide_timing.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch detects the case:

<title>block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices</title>

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.

Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions.  But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
    - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
      are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
      should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
    - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices.  From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during
device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these
errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate
ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider
IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check.

For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg
of blk_get_request.  It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was
unwilling to wait.

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq-&gt;buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.
