[ Upstream commit 0967074f6830718fd2597404ef119bddd0dbfd00 ]

The fdpcidx bounds check sets n = NUMFDPC + 1 but used &gt; instead of &gt;=,
incorrectly accepting fdp_idx when it equals n (i.e. NUMFDPC + 1).

<title>nvme-multipath: fix flex array size in struct nvme_ns_head</title>

[ Upstream commit 001e57554de81aa79c25c18fd53911d8a415c304 ]

struct nvme_ns_head contains a flexible array member, current_path[],
which is indexed using the NUMA node ID:
head-&gt;current_path[numa_node_id()]

The structure is currently allocated as:
size = sizeof(struct nvme_ns_head) +
       (num_possible_nodes() * sizeof(struct nvme_ns *));
head = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);

This allocation assumes that NUMA node IDs are sequential and densely
packed from 0 .. num_possible_nodes() - 1. While this assumption holds
on many systems, it is not always true on some architectures such as
powerpc.

On some powerpc systems, NUMA node IDs can be sparse. For example:
NUMA:
  NUMA node(s):              6
  NUMA node0 CPU(s):         80-159
  NUMA node8 CPU(s):         0-79
  NUMA node252 CPU(s):
  NUMA node253 CPU(s):
  NUMA node254 CPU(s):
  NUMA node255 CPU(s):

That is, the possible/online NUMA node IDs are: 0, 8, 252, 253, 254, 255
In this case: num_possible_nodes() = 6

So memory is allocated for only 6 entries in current_path[]. However,
the array is later indexed using the actual NUMA node ID. As a result,
accesses such as:
head-&gt;current_path[8] or
head-&gt;current_path[252]
goes out of bounds, leading to the following KASAN splat:

<title>nvme: fix race condition between connected uevent and STARTED_ONCE flag</title>

<content type='text'>
When a controller connects, nvme_start_ctrl() emits the
"NVME_EVENT=connected" uevent and sets the NVME_CTRL_STARTED_ONCE flag.
Currently, the uevent is emitted before the flag is set. This creates a
race condition for userspace tools (like udev rules) that might rely on
the "connected" event to configure other attributes.

Swap the order of operations in nvme_start_ctrl() so that the
NVME_CTRL_STARTED_ONCE flag is set before the uevent is sent. This
guarantees that the admin_timeout can already be changed when userspace
is notified.

The command was never dispatched for the driver's "host path error", so
the command was never actually initialized and there's no corresponding
submit trace for the completion.

The delayed disk removal work is canceled when a NS (re)appears. However,
we do not put the module reference grabbed in nvme_mpath_remove_disk(), so
fix that.

In the declaration of the structure "core_quirks[]", in the comment
referred to the devices "Kioxia CD6-V Series / HPE PE8030", the
parameter "default_ps_max_latency_us" is reported in a wrong way:

nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency=0

The correct form is, instead:

nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add shared memory zero-copy I/O support for ublk, bypassing per-I/O
   copies between kernel and userspace by matching registered buffer
   PFNs at I/O time. Includes selftests.

 - Refactor bio integrity to support filesystem initiated integrity
   operations and arbitrary buffer alignment.

 - Clean up bio allocation, splitting bio_alloc_bioset() into clear fast
   and slow paths. Add bio_await() and bio_submit_or_kill() helpers,
   unify synchronous bi_end_io callbacks.

 - Fix zone write plug refcount handling and plug removal races. Add
   support for serializing zone writes at QD=1 for rotational zoned
   devices, yielding significant throughput improvements.

 - Add SED-OPAL ioctls for Single User Mode management and a STACK_RESET
   command.

 - Add io_uring passthrough (uring_cmd) support to the BSG layer.

 - Replace pp_buf in partition scanning with struct seq_buf.

 - zloop improvements and cleanups.

 - drbd genl cleanup, switching to pre_doit/post_doit.

 - NVMe pull request via Keith:
      - Fabrics authentication updates
      - Enhanced block queue limits support
      - Workqueue usage updates
      - A new write zeroes device quirk
      - Tagset cleanup fix for loop device

 - MD pull requests via Yu Kuai:
      - Fix raid5 soft lockup in retry_aligned_read()
      - Fix raid10 deadlock with check operation and nowait requests
      - Fix raid1 overlapping writes on writemostly disks
      - Fix sysfs deadlock on array_state=clear
      - Proactive RAID-5 parity building with llbitmap, with
        write_zeroes_unmap optimization for initial sync
      - Fix llbitmap barrier ordering, rdev skipping, and bitmap_ops
        version mismatch fallback
      - Fix bcache use-after-free and uninitialized closure
      - Validate raid5 journal metadata payload size
      - Various cleanups

<title>nvme: respect NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES when wzsl is set</title>

<id>40f0496b617b431f8d2dd94d7f785c1121f8a68a</id>
<content type='text'>
The NVM Command Set Identify Controller data may report a non-zero
Write Zeroes Size Limit (wzsl). When present, nvme_init_non_mdts_limits()
unconditionally overrides max_zeroes_sectors from wzsl, even if
NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES previously set it to zero.

This effectively re-enables write zeroes for devices that need it
disabled, defeating the quirk. Several Kingston OM* drives rely on
this quirk to avoid firmware issues with write zeroes commands.

Check for the quirk before applying the wzsl override.
