commit 7018c897c2f243d4b5f1b94bc6b4831a7eab80fb upstream

Richard reports that the following test:

(while true; do
     cat /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmem*/available_slots 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt; /dev/null
 done) &amp;

while true; do
     for i in $(seq 0 4); do
         echo nmem$i &gt; /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nvdimm/bind
     done
     for i in $(seq 0 4); do
         echo nmem$i &gt; /sys/bus/nd/drivers/nvdimm/unbind
     done
 done

...fails with a crash signature like:

    divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
    RIP: 0010:nd_label_nfree+0x134/0x1a0 [libnvdimm]
    [..]
    Call Trace:
     available_slots_show+0x4e/0x120 [libnvdimm]
     dev_attr_show+0x42/0x80
     ? memset+0x20/0x40
     sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x218/0x410

The root cause is that available_slots_show() consults driver-data, but
fails to synchronize against device-unbind setting up a TOCTOU race to
access uninitialized memory.

Validate driver-data under the device-lock.

<title>block: Move SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT definitions into &lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt;</title>

commit 233bde21aa43516baa013ef7ac33f3427056db3e upstream.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.

Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

[ Upstream commit f84afbdd3a9e5e10633695677b95422572f920dc ]

The "cmd" comes from the user and it can be up to 255.  It it's more
than the number of bits in long, it results out of bounds read when we
check test_bit(cmd, &amp;cmd_mask).  The highest valid value for "cmd" is
ND_CMD_CALL (10) so I added a compare against that.

commit 7e3e888dfc138089f4c15a81b418e88f0978f744 upstream.

At namespace creation time there is the potential for the "expected to
be zero" fields of a 'pfn' info-block to be filled with indeterminate
data.  While the kernel buffer is zeroed on allocation it is immediately
overwritten by nd_pfn_validate() filling it with the current contents of
the on-media info-block location.  For fields like, 'flags' and the
'padding' it potentially means that future implementations can not rely on
those fields being zero.

In preparation to stop using the 'start_pad' and 'end_trunc' fields for
section alignment, arrange for fields that are not explicitly
initialized to be guaranteed zero.  Bump the minor version to indicate
it is safe to assume the 'padding' and 'flags' are zero.  Otherwise,
this corruption is expected to benign since all other critical fields
are explicitly initialized.

Note The cc: stable is about spreading this new policy to as many
kernels as possible not fixing an issue in those kernels.  It is not
until the change titled "libnvdimm/pfn: Stop padding pmem namespaces to
section alignment" where this improper initialization becomes a problem.
So if someone decides to backport "libnvdimm/pfn: Stop padding pmem
namespaces to section alignment" (which is not tagged for stable), make
sure this pre-requisite is flagged.

commit c4703ce11c23423d4b46e3d59aef7979814fd608 upstream.

Users have reported intermittent occurrences of DIMM initialization
failures due to duplicate allocations of address capacity detected in
the labels, or errors of the form below, both have the same root cause.

    nd namespace1.4: failed to track label: 0
    WARNING: CPU: 17 PID: 1381 at drivers/nvdimm/label.c:863

    RIP: 0010:__pmem_label_update+0x56c/0x590 [libnvdimm]
    Call Trace:
     ? nd_pmem_namespace_label_update+0xd6/0x160 [libnvdimm]

     vfs_write+0xb7/0x1b0
     ksys_write+0x57/0xd0
     do_syscall_64+0x60/0x210

Unfortunately those reports were typically with a busy parallel
namespace creation / destruction loop making it difficult to see the
components of the bug. However, Jane provided a simple reproducer using
the work-in-progress sub-section implementation.

When ndctl is reconfiguring a namespace it may take an existing defunct
/ disabled namespace and reconfigure it with a new uuid and other
parameters. Critically namespace_update_uuid() takes existing address
resources and renames them for the new namespace to use / reconfigure as
it sees fit. The bug is that this rename only happens in the resource
tracking tree. Existing labels with the old uuid are not reaped leading
to a scenario where multiple active labels reference the same span of
address range.

Teach namespace_update_uuid() to flag any references to the old uuid for
reaping at the next label update attempt.

commit c4703ce11c23423d4b46e3d59aef7979814fd608 upstream.

Users have reported intermittent occurrences of DIMM initialization
failures due to duplicate allocations of address capacity detected in
the labels, or errors of the form below, both have the same root cause.

    nd namespace1.4: failed to track label: 0
    WARNING: CPU: 17 PID: 1381 at drivers/nvdimm/label.c:863

    RIP: 0010:__pmem_label_update+0x56c/0x590 [libnvdimm]
    Call Trace:
     ? nd_pmem_namespace_label_update+0xd6/0x160 [libnvdimm]

     do_syscall_64+0x60/0x210

Unfortunately those reports were typically with a busy parallel
namespace creation / destruction loop making it difficult to see the
components of the bug. However, Jane provided a simple reproducer using
the work-in-progress sub-section implementation.

When ndctl is reconfiguring a namespace it may take an existing defunct
/ disabled namespace and reconfigure it with a new uuid and other
parameters. Critically namespace_update_uuid() takes existing address
resources and renames them for the new namespace to use / reconfigure as
it sees fit. The bug is that this rename only happens in the resource
tracking tree. Existing labels with the old uuid are not reaped leading
to a scenario where multiple active labels reference the same span of
address range.

Teach namespace_update_uuid() to flag any references to the old uuid for
reaping at the next label update attempt.

<title>libnvdimm: Fix altmap reservation size calculation</title>

commit 07464e88365e9236febaca9ed1a2e2006d8bc952 upstream.

Libnvdimm reserves the first 8K of pfn and devicedax namespaces to
store a superblock describing the namespace. This 8K reservation
is contained within the altmap area which the kernel uses for the
vmemmap backing for the pages within the namespace. The altmap
allows for some pages at the start of the altmap area to be reserved
and that mechanism is used to protect the superblock from being
re-used as vmemmap backing.

The number of PFNs to reserve is calculated using:

	PHYS_PFN(SZ_8K)

Which is implemented as:

 #define PHYS_PFN(x) ((unsigned long)((x) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT))

So on systems where PAGE_SIZE is greater than 8K the reservation
size is truncated to zero and the superblock area is re-used as
vmemmap backing. As a result all the namespace information stored
in the superblock (i.e. if it's a PFN or DAX namespace) is lost
and the namespace needs to be re-created to get access to the
contents.

This patch fixes this by using PFN_UP() rather than PHYS_PFN() to ensure
that at least one page is reserved. On systems with a 4K pages size this
patch should have no effect.

commit fa7d2e639cd90442d868dfc6ca1d4cc9d8bf206e upstream.

For recovery, where non-dax access is needed to a given physical address
range, and testing, allow the 'force_raw' attribute to override the
default establishment of a dev_pagemap.

Otherwise without this capability it is possible to end up with a
namespace that can not be activated due to corrupted info-block, and one
that can not be repaired due to a section collision.
