commit 3ae62a42090f1ed48e2313ed256a1182a85fb575 upstream.

This is the UAS version of

747668dbc061b3e62bc1982767a3a1f9815fcf0e
usb-storage: Set virt_boundary_mask to avoid SG overflows

We are not as likely to be vulnerable as storage, as it is unlikelier
that UAS is run over a controller without native support for SG,
but the issue exists.
The issue has been existing since the inception of the driver.

commit 747668dbc061b3e62bc1982767a3a1f9815fcf0e upstream.

The USB subsystem has always had an unusual requirement for its
scatter-gather transfers: Each element in the scatterlist (except the
last one) must have a length divisible by the bulk maxpacket size.
This is a particular issue for USB mass storage, which uses SG lists
created by the block layer rather than setting up its own.

So far we have scraped by okay because most devices have a logical
block size of 512 bytes or larger, and the bulk maxpacket sizes for
USB 2 and below are all &lt;= 512.  However, USB 3 has a bulk maxpacket
size of 1024.  Since the xhci-hcd driver includes native SG support,
this hasn't mattered much.  But now people are trying to use USB-3
mass storage devices with USBIP, and the vhci-hcd driver currently
does not have full SG support.

The result is an overflow error, when the driver attempts to implement
an SG transfer of 63 512-byte blocks as a single
3584-byte (7 blocks) transfer followed by seven 4096-byte (8 blocks)
transfers.  The device instead sends 31 1024-byte packets followed by
a 512-byte packet, and this overruns the first SG buffer.

Ideally this would be fixed by adding better SG support to vhci-hcd.
But for now it appears we can work around the problem by
asking the block layer to respect the maxpacket limitation, through
the use of the virt_boundary_mask.

<title>USB: core: Fix bug caused by duplicate interface PM usage counter</title>

commit c2b71462d294cf517a0bc6e4fd6424d7cee5596f upstream.

The syzkaller fuzzer reported a bug in the USB hub driver which turned
out to be caused by a negative runtime-PM usage counter.  This allowed
a hub to be runtime suspended at a time when the driver did not expect
it.  The symptom is a WARNING issued because the hub's status URB is
submitted while it is already active:

	URB 0000000031fb463e submitted while active
	WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2917 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:363

The negative runtime-PM usage count was caused by an unfortunate
design decision made when runtime PM was first implemented for USB.
At that time, USB class drivers were allowed to unbind from their
interfaces without balancing the usage counter (i.e., leaving it with
a positive count).  The core code would take care of setting the
counter back to 0 before allowing another driver to bind to the
interface.

Later on when runtime PM was implemented for the entire kernel, the
opposite decision was made: Drivers were required to balance their
runtime-PM get and put calls.  In order to maintain backward
compatibility, however, the USB subsystem adapted to the new
implementation by keeping an independent usage counter for each
interface and using it to automatically adjust the normal usage
counter back to 0 whenever a driver was unbound.

This approach involves duplicating information, but what is worse, it
doesn't work properly in cases where a USB class driver delays
decrementing the usage counter until after the driver's disconnect()
routine has returned and the counter has been adjusted back to 0.
Doing so would cause the usage counter to become negative.  There's
even a warning about this in the USB power management documentation!

As it happens, this is exactly what the hub driver does.  The
kick_hub_wq() routine increments the runtime-PM usage counter, and the
corresponding decrement is carried out by hub_event() in the context
of the hub_wq work-queue thread.  This work routine may sometimes run
after the driver has been unbound from its interface, and when it does
it causes the usage counter to go negative.

It is not possible for hub_disconnect() to wait for a pending
hub_event() call to finish, because hub_disconnect() is called with
the device lock held and hub_event() acquires that lock.  The only
feasible fix is to reverse the original design decision: remove the
duplicate interface-specific usage counter and require USB drivers to
balance their runtime PM gets and puts.  As far as I know, all
existing drivers currently do this.

The SMI SM3350 USB-UFS bridge controller cannot handle long sense request
correctly and will make the chip refuse to do read/write when requested
long sense.

Add a bad sense quirk for it.

Currently the code will set US_FL_SANE_SENSE flag unconditionally if
device claims SPC3+, however we should allow US_FL_BAD_SENSE flag to
prevent this behavior, because SMI SM3350 UFS-USB bridge controller,
which claims SPC4, will show strange behavior with 96-byte sense
(put the chip into a wrong state that cannot read/write anything).

Check the presence of US_FL_BAD_SENSE when assuming US_FL_SANE_SENSE on
SPC4+ devices.

The same effects can be achieved by setting the dma_boundary to
PAGE_SIZE - 1 and the max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE, so shift those
settings into the drivers.  Note that in many cases the setting might
be bogus, but this keeps the status quo.

Most SCSI drivers want to enable "clustering", that is merging of
segments so that they might span more than a single page.  Remove the
ENABLE_CLUSTERING define, and require drivers to explicitly set
DISABLE_CLUSTERING to disable this feature.

A few drivers were not setting the use_clustering flag at all and thus
default to disable.  Fix them up to explicitly set this field in
preparation for additional cleanups.
