SCSI: sg: Fix user memory corruption when SG_IO is interrupted by a signal

2013-09-08T04:49:32+00:00

commit 35dc248383bbab0a7203fca4d722875bc81ef091 upstream.

There is a nasty bug in the SCSI SG_IO ioctl that in some circumstances
leads to one process writing data into the address space of some other
random unrelated process if the ioctl is interrupted by a signal.
What happens is the following:

 - A process issues an SG_IO ioctl with direction DXFER_FROM_DEV (ie the
   underlying SCSI command will transfer data from the SCSI device to
   the buffer provided in the ioctl)

 - Before the command finishes, a signal is sent to the process waiting
   in the ioctl.  This will end up waking up the sg_ioctl() code:

		result = wait_event_interruptible(sfp->read_wait,
			(srp_done(sfp, srp) || sdp->detached));

   but neither srp_done() nor sdp->detached is true, so we end up just
   setting srp->orphan and returning to userspace:

		srp->orphan = 1;
		write_unlock_irq(&sfp->rq_list_lock);
		return result;	/* -ERESTARTSYS because signal hit process */

   At this point the original process is done with the ioctl and
   blithely goes ahead handling the signal, reissuing the ioctl, etc.

 - Eventually, the SCSI command issued by the first ioctl finishes and
   ends up in sg_rq_end_io().  At the end of that function, we run through:

	write_lock_irqsave(&sfp->rq_list_lock, iflags);
	if (unlikely(srp->orphan)) {
		if (sfp->keep_orphan)
			srp->sg_io_owned = 0;
		else
			done = 0;
	}
	srp->done = done;
	write_unlock_irqrestore(&sfp->rq_list_lock, iflags);

	if (likely(done)) {
		/* Now wake up any sg_read() that is waiting for this
		 * packet.
		 */
		wake_up_interruptible(&sfp->read_wait);
		kill_fasync(&sfp->async_qp, SIGPOLL, POLL_IN);
		kref_put(&sfp->f_ref, sg_remove_sfp);
	} else {
		INIT_WORK(&srp->ew.work, sg_rq_end_io_usercontext);
		schedule_work(&srp->ew.work);
	}

   Since srp->orphan *is* set, we set done to 0 (assuming the
   userspace app has not set keep_orphan via an SG_SET_KEEP_ORPHAN
   ioctl), and therefore we end up scheduling sg_rq_end_io_usercontext()
   to run in a workqueue.

 - In workqueue context we go through sg_rq_end_io_usercontext() ->
   sg_finish_rem_req() -> blk_rq_unmap_user() -> ... ->
   bio_uncopy_user() -> __bio_copy_iov() -> copy_to_user().

   The key point here is that we are doing copy_to_user() on a
   workqueue -- that is, we're on a kernel thread with current->mm
   equal to whatever random previous user process was scheduled before
   this kernel thread.  So we end up copying whatever data the SCSI
   command returned to the virtual address of the buffer passed into
   the original ioctl, but it's quite likely we do this copying into a
   different address space!

As suggested by James Bottomley ,
add a check for current->mm (which is NULL if we're on a kernel thread
without a real userspace address space) in bio_uncopy_user(), and skip
the copy if we're on a kernel thread.

There's no reason that I can think of for any caller of bio_uncopy_user()
to want to do copying on a kernel thread with a random active userspace
address space.

Huge thanks to Costa Sapuntzakis  for the
original pointer to this bug in the sg code.

fs: use appropriate printk priority levels

2011-03-23T00:44:10+00:00

printk()s without a priority level default to KERN_WARNING.  To reduce
noise at KERN_WARNING, this patch set the priority level appriopriately
for unleveled printks()s.  This should be useful to folks that look at
dmesg warnings closely.

block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempool

2011-03-17T10:11:05+00:00

MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an
integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is
capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.

Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.

Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

bio: take care not overflow page count when mapping/copying user data

2010-11-10T13:40:43+00:00

If the iovec is being set up in a way that causes uaddr + PAGE_SIZE
to overflow, we could end up attempting to map a huge number of
pages. Check for this invalid input type.

block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request

2010-08-07T16:20:39+00:00

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.
