commit 45bcf018d1a4779d592764ef57517c92589d55d7 upstream.

IRQF_SHARED is required for older controllers that don't support MSI(X)
and which may end up sharing an interrupt.  All the controllers hpsa
normally supports have MSI(X) capability, but older controllers may be
encountered via the hpsa_allow_any=1 module parameter.

Also remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED.

commit 7d1d865181185bdf1316d236b1b4bd02c9020729 upstream.

Normalize phy-&gt;attached_sas_addr to return a zero-address in the case
when device-type == NO_DEVICE or the linkrate is invalid to handle
expanders that put non-zero sas addresses in the discovery response:

 sas: ex 5001b4da000f903f phy02:U:0 attached: 0100000000000000 (no device)
 sas: ex 5001b4da000f903f phy01:U:0 attached: 0100000000000000 (no device)
 sas: ex 5001b4da000f903f phy03:U:0 attached: 0100000000000000 (no device)
 sas: ex 5001b4da000f903f phy00:U:0 attached: 0100000000000000 (no device)

commit 1699490db339e2c6b3037ea8e7dcd6b2755b688e upstream.

If an expander reports 'PHY VACANT' for a phy index prior to the one
that generated a BCN libsas fails rediscovery.  Since a vacant phy is
defined as a valid phy index that will never have an attached device
just continue the search.

commit 41f8ad76362e7aefe3a03949c43e23102dae6e0b upstream.

It used to be that minors where 8 bit. But now they
are actually 20 bit. So the fix is simplicity itself.

I've tested with 300 devices and all user-mode utils
work just fine. I have also mechanically added 10,000
to the ida (so devices are /dev/osd10000, /dev/osd10001 ...)
and was able to mkfs an exofs filesystem and access osds
from user-mode.

All the open-osd user-mode code uses the same library
to access devices through their symbolic names in
/dev/osdX so I'd say it's pretty safe. (Well tested)

This patch is very important because some of the systems
that will be deploying the 3.2 pnfs-objects code are larger
than 64 OSDs and will stop to work properly when reaching
that number.

<title>scsi_pm: Fix bug in the SCSI power management handler</title>

commit fea6d607e154cf96ab22254ccb48addfd43d4cb5 upstream.

This patch (as1520) fixes a bug in the SCSI layer's power management
implementation.

LUN scanning can be carried out asynchronously in do_scan_async(), and
sd uses an asynchronous thread for the time-consuming parts of disk
probing in sd_probe_async().  Currently nothing coordinates these
async threads with system sleep transitions; they can and do attempt
to continue scanning/probing SCSI devices even after the host adapter
has been suspended.  As one might expect, the outcome is not ideal.

This is what the "prepare" stage of system suspend was created for.
After the prepare callback has been called for a host, target, or
device, drivers are not allowed to register any children underneath
them.  Currently the SCSI prepare callback is not implemented; this
patch rectifies that omission.

For SCSI hosts, the prepare routine calls scsi_complete_async_scans()
to wait until async scanning is finished.  It might be slightly more
efficient to wait only until the host in question has been scanned,
but there's currently no way to do that.  Besides, during a sleep
transition we will ultimately have to wait until all the host scanning
has finished anyway.

For SCSI devices, the prepare routine calls async_synchronize_full()
to wait until sd probing is finished.  The routine does nothing for
SCSI targets, because asynchronous target scanning is done only as
part of host scanning.

<title>scsi_scan: Fix 'Poison overwritten' warning caused by using freed 'shost'</title>

commit 267a6ad4aefaafbde607804c60945bcf97f91c1b upstream.

In do_scan_async(), calling scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) may reference
freed shost, and cause Posison overwitten warning.
Yes, this case can happen, for example, an USB is disconnected just
when do_scan_async() thread starts to run, then scsi_host_put() called
in scsi_finish_async_scan() will lead to shost be freed(because the
refcount of shost-&gt;shost_gendev decreases to 1 after USB disconnects),
at this point, if references shost again, system will show following
warning msg.

To make scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) always reference a valid shost,
put it just before scsi_host_put() in function
scsi_finish_async_scan().

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

<title>sym53c8xx: Fix NULL pointer dereference in slave_destroy</title>

commit cced5041ed5a2d1352186510944b0ddfbdbe4c0b upstream.

sym53c8xx_slave_destroy unconditionally assumes that sym53c8xx_slave_alloc has
succesesfully allocated a sym_lcb. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
(exposed by commit 4e6c82b).

<title>block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices</title>

commit 0bfc96cb77224736dfa35c3c555d37b3646ef35e upstream.

[ Changes with respect to 3.3: return -ENOTTY from scsi_verify_blk_ioctl
  and -ENOIOCTLCMD from sd_compat_ioctl. ]

Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device.  This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.

This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent.  In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice.  Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities.  However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls.  Their actions will still be logged.

This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver.  That driver
however already tests for bd != bd-&gt;bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

commit 577ebb374c78314ac4617242f509e2f5e7156649 upstream.

Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.

The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.
