commit e80d1c805a3b2f0ad2081369be5dc5deedd5ee59 upstream.

Some of the device mapper targets override the error code returned by
dm_get_device() and return either -EINVAL or -ENXIO.  There is nothing
gained by this override.  It is better to propagate the returned error
code unchanged to caller.

This work was motivated by hitting an issue where the underlying device
was busy but -EINVAL was being returned.  After this change we get
-EBUSY instead and it is easier to figure out the problem.

<title>dm: disable CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP to fix a GFP_KERNEL recursion deadlock</title>

commit 432061b3da64e488be3403124a72a9250bbe96d4 upstream.

There's a XFS on dm-crypt deadlock, recursing back to itself due to the
crypto subsystems use of GFP_KERNEL, reported here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200835

* dm-crypt calls crypt_convert in xts mode
* init_crypt from xts.c calls kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
* kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) recurses into the XFS filesystem, the filesystem
	tries to submit some bios and wait for them, causing a deadlock

Fix this by updating both the DM crypt and integrity targets to no
longer use the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP flag, which will change the
crypto allocations from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC, therefore they can't
recurse into a filesystem.  A GFP_ATOMIC allocation can fail, but
init_crypt() in xts.c handles the allocation failure gracefully - it
will fall back to preallocated buffer if the allocation fails.

The crypto API maintainer says that the crypto API only needs to
allocate memory when dealing with unaligned buffers and therefore
turning CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP off is safe (see this discussion:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-August/msg00195.html )

commit 265e9098bac02bc5e36cda21fdbad34cb5b2f48d upstream.

In crypt_set_key(), if a failure occurs while replacing the old key
(e.g. tfm-&gt;setkey() fails) the key must not have DM_CRYPT_KEY_VALID flag
set.  Otherwise, the crypto layer would have an invalid key that still
has DM_CRYPT_KEY_VALID flag set.

commit 5d0be84ec0cacfc7a6d6ea548afdd07d481324cd upstream.

If crypt_alloc_tfms() had to allocate multiple tfms and it failed before
the last allocation, then it would call crypt_free_tfms() and could free
pointers from uninitialized memory -- due to the crypt_free_tfms() check
for non-zero cc-&gt;tfms[i].  Fix by allocating zeroed memory.

<title>dm crypt: fix access beyond the end of allocated space</title>

commit d49ec52ff6ddcda178fc2476a109cf1bd1fa19ed upstream.

The DM crypt target accesses memory beyond allocated space resulting in
a crash on 32 bit x86 systems.

This bug is very old (it dates back to 2.6.25 commit 3a7f6c990ad04 "dm
crypt: use async crypto").  However, this bug was masked by the fact
that kmalloc rounds the size up to the next power of two.  This bug
wasn't exposed until 3.17-rc1 commit 298a9fa08a ("dm crypt: use per-bio
data").  By switching to using per-bio data there was no longer any
padding beyond the end of a dm-crypt allocated memory block.

To minimize allocation overhead dm-crypt puts several structures into one
block allocated with kmalloc.  The block holds struct ablkcipher_request,
cipher-specific scratch pad (crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc))),
struct dm_crypt_request and an initialization vector.

The variable dmreq_start is set to offset of struct dm_crypt_request
within this memory block.  dm-crypt allocates the block with this size:
cc-&gt;dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request) + cc-&gt;iv_size.

When accessing the initialization vector, dm-crypt uses the function
iv_of_dmreq, which performs this calculation: ALIGN((unsigned long)(dmreq
+ 1), crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) + 1).

dm-crypt allocated "cc-&gt;iv_size" bytes beyond the end of dm_crypt_request
structure.  However, when dm-crypt accesses the initialization vector, it
takes a pointer to the end of dm_crypt_request, aligns it, and then uses
it as the initialization vector.  If the end of dm_crypt_request is not
aligned on a crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) boundary the
alignment causes the initialization vector to point beyond the allocated
space.

Fix this bug by calculating the variable iv_size_padding and adding it
to the allocated size.

Also correct the alignment of dm_crypt_request.  struct dm_crypt_request
is specific to dm-crypt (it isn't used by the crypto subsystem at all),
so it is aligned on __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request).

Also align per_bio_data_size on ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so that it is
aligned as if the block was allocated with kmalloc.

<title>dm crypt: fix cpu hotplug crash by removing per-cpu structure</title>

The DM crypt target used per-cpu structures to hold pointers to a
ablkcipher_request structure.  The code assumed that the work item keeps
executing on a single CPU, so it didn't use synchronization when
accessing this structure.

If a CPU is disabled by writing 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online,
the work item could be moved to another CPU.  This causes dm-crypt
crashes, like the following, because the code starts using an incorrect
ablkcipher_request:

 smpboot: CPU 7 is now offline
 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000130

  [&lt;ffffffff81058cf0&gt;] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x120/0x120

Fix this bug by removing the per-cpu definition.  The structure
ablkcipher_request is accessed via a pointer from convert_context.
Consequently, if the work item is rescheduled to a different CPU, the
thread still uses the same ablkcipher_request.

This change may undermine performance improvements intended by commit
c0297721 ("dm crypt: scale to multiple cpus") on select hardware.  In
practice no performance difference was observed on recent hardware.  But
regardless, correctness is more important than performance.

Now that we've got a mechanism for immutable biovecs -
bi_iter.bi_bvec_done - we need to convert drivers to use primitives that
respect it instead of using the bvec array directly.

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
things.
