[ Upstream commit 2bf2d65f76697820dbc4227d13866293576dd90a ]

sbc_execute_unmap() checks LBA + range does not exceed the device capacity,
but does not guard against LBA + range wrapping around on 64-bit overflow.

Add an overflow check matching the pattern already used for WRITE_SAME in
the same file.

<title>scsi: target: configfs: Bound snprintf() return in tg_pt_gp_members_show()</title>

commit 772a896a56e0e3ef9424a025cec9176f9d8f4552 upstream.

target_tg_pt_gp_members_show() formats LUN paths with snprintf() into a
256-byte stack buffer, then will memcpy() cur_len bytes from that
buffer.  snprintf() returns the length the output would have had, which
can exceed the buffer size when the fabric WWN is long because iSCSI IQN
names can be up to 223 bytes.  The check at the memcpy() site only
guards the destination page write, not the source read, so memcpy() will
read past the stack buffer and copy adjacent stack contents to the sysfs
reader, which when CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled, fortify_panic()
will be triggered.

Commit 27e06650a5ea ("scsi: target: target_core_configfs: Add length
check to avoid buffer overflow") added the same bound to the
target_lu_gp_members_show() but the tg_pt_gp variant was missed so
resolve that here.

The target_core_file doesn't initialize the aio_cmd-&gt;iocb for the
ki_write_stream. When a write command fd_execute_rw_aio() is executed,
we may get a bogus ki_write_stream value, causing unintended write
failure status when checking iocb-&gt;ki_write_stream &gt; max_write_streams
in the block device.

Let's just use kzalloc_flex when allocating the aio_cmd and let
ki_write_stream=0 to fix this issue.

<title>scsi: target: tcm_loop: Drain commands in target_reset handler</title>

<id>1333eee56cdf3f0cf67c6ab4114c2c9e0a952026</id>
<content type='text'>
tcm_loop_target_reset() violates the SCSI EH contract: it returns SUCCESS
without draining any in-flight commands.  The SCSI EH documentation
(scsi_eh.rst) requires that when a reset handler returns SUCCESS the driver
has made lower layers "forget about timed out scmds" and is ready for new
commands.  Every other SCSI LLD (virtio_scsi, mpt3sas, ipr, scsi_debug,
mpi3mr) enforces this by draining or completing outstanding commands before
returning SUCCESS.

Because tcm_loop_target_reset() doesn't drain, the SCSI EH reuses in-flight
scsi_cmnd structures for recovery commands (e.g. TUR) while the target core
still has async completion work queued for the old se_cmd.  The memset in
queuecommand zeroes se_lun and lun_ref_active, causing
transport_lun_remove_cmd() to skip its percpu_ref_put().  The leaked LUN
reference prevents transport_clear_lun_ref() from completing, hanging
configfs LUN unlink forever in D-state:

  INFO: task rm:264 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
  rm              D    0   264    258 0x00004000
  Call Trace:
   __schedule+0x3d0/0x8e0
   schedule+0x36/0xf0
   transport_clear_lun_ref+0x78/0x90 [target_core_mod]

   configfs_unlink+0x156/0x1f0 [configfs]
   vfs_unlink+0x109/0x290
   do_unlinkat+0x1d5/0x2d0

Fix this by making tcm_loop_target_reset() actually drain commands:

 1. Issue TMR_LUN_RESET via tcm_loop_issue_tmr() to drain all commands that
    the target core knows about (those not yet CMD_T_COMPLETE).

 2. Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to iterate all started requests and
    flush_work() on each se_cmd — this drains any deferred completion work
    for commands that already had CMD_T_COMPLETE set before the TMR (which
    the TMR skips via __target_check_io_state()).  This is the same pattern
    used by mpi3mr, scsi_debug, and libsas to drain outstanding commands
    during reset.

<title>scsi: target: Fix recursive locking in __configfs_open_file()</title>

In flush_write_buffer, &amp;p-&gt;frag_sem is acquired and then the loaded store
function is called, which, here, is target_core_item_dbroot_store().  This
function called filp_open(), following which these functions were called
(in reverse order), according to the call trace:

  down_read
  __configfs_open_file
  do_dentry_open
  vfs_open
  do_open
  path_openat
  do_filp_open
  file_open_name
  filp_open
  target_core_item_dbroot_store
  flush_write_buffer
  configfs_write_iter

target_core_item_dbroot_store() tries to validate the new file path by
trying to open the file path provided to it; however, in this case, the bug
report shows:

db_root: not a directory: /sys/kernel/config/target/dbroot

indicating that the same configfs file was tried to be opened, on which it
is currently working on. Thus, it is trying to acquire frag_sem semaphore
of the same file of which it already holds the semaphore obtained in
flush_write_buffer(), leading to acquiring the semaphore in a nested manner
and a possibility of recursive locking.

Fix this by modifying target_core_item_dbroot_store() to use kern_path()
instead of filp_open() to avoid opening the file using filesystem-specific
function __configfs_open_file(), and further modifying it to make this fix
compatible.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "Usual driver updates (qla2xxx, mpi3mr, mpt3sas, ufs) plus assorted
  cleanups and fixes.

  The biggest core change is the massive code motion in the sd driver to
  remove forward declarations and the most significant change is to
  enumify the queuecommand return"
