commit 84ce0f0e94ac97217398b3b69c21c7a62ebeed05 upstream.

When sg_scsi_ioctl() fails to prepare request to submit in
blk_rq_map_kern() we jump to a label where we just end up copying
(luckily zeroed-out) kernel buffer to userspace instead of reporting
error. Fix the problem by jumping to the right label.

<title>block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2</title>

commit b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c upstream.

The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset()
assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a
power-of-2.  Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min.

This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing
dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of
1280K.  Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data
block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to
the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.

commit 46f341ffcfb5d8530f7d1e60f3be06cce6661b62 upstream.

Commit 2da78092 changed the locking from a mutex to a spinlock,
so we now longer sleep in this context. But there was a leftover
might_sleep() in there, which now triggers since we do the final
free from an RCU callback. Get rid of it.

Releases the dev_t minor when all references are closed to prevent
another device from acquiring the same major/minor.

Since the partition's release may be invoked from call_rcu's soft-irq
context, the ext_dev_idr's mutex had to be replaced with a spinlock so

<title>cfq-iosched: Fix wrong children_weight calculation</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e15693ef18e13e3e6bffe891fe140f18b8ff6d07 upstream.

cfq_group_service_tree_add() is applying new_weight at the beginning of
the function via cfq_update_group_weight().
This actually allows weight to change between adding it to and subtracting
it from children_weight, and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() in
cfq_group_service_tree_del(), or even causes oops by divide error during
vfr calculation in cfq_group_service_tree_add().

The detailed scenario is as follows:
1. Create blkio cgroups X and Y as a child of X.
   Set X's weight to 500 and perform some I/O to apply new_weight.
   This X's I/O completes before starting Y's I/O.
2. Y starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with Y.
3. cfq_group_service_tree_add() walks up the tree during children_weight
   calculation and adds parent X's weight (500) to children_weight of root.
   children_weight becomes 500.
4. Set X's weight to 1000.
5. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X.
6. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (1000).
7. I/O of Y completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with Y.
8. I/O of X completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with X.
9. cfq_group_service_tree_del() subtracts X's weight (1000) from
   children_weight of root. children_weight becomes -500.
   This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE().
10. Set X's weight to 500.
11. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X.
12. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (500) and adds it
    to children_weight of root. children_weight becomes 0. Calcularion of
    vfr triggers oops by divide error.

weight should be updated right before adding it to children_weight.

commit 0b462c89e31f7eb6789713437eb551833ee16ff3 upstream.

While a queue is being destroyed, all the blkgs are destroyed and its

while the queue is in this state, the following oops happens.

776687bce42b ("block, blk-mq: draining can't be skipped even if
bypass_depth was non-zero") made it easier to trigger this bug by
making blk_queue_bypass_start() drain even when it loses the first
bypass test to blk_cleanup_queue(); however, the bug has always been
there even before the commit as blk_queue_bypass_start() could race
against queue destruction, win the initial bypass test but perform the
actual draining after blk_cleanup_queue() already destroyed all blkgs.

Fix it by skippping calling into policy draining if all the blkgs are
already gone.

commit 0b462c89e31f7eb6789713437eb551833ee16ff3 upstream.

While a queue is being destroyed, all the blkgs are destroyed and its
-&gt;root_blkg pointer is set to NULL.  If someone else starts to drain
while the queue is in this state, the following oops happens.

776687bce42b ("block, blk-mq: draining can't be skipped even if
bypass_depth was non-zero") made it easier to trigger this bug by
making blk_queue_bypass_start() drain even when it loses the first
bypass test to blk_cleanup_queue(); however, the bug has always been
there even before the commit as blk_queue_bypass_start() could race
against queue destruction, win the initial bypass test but perform the
actual draining after blk_cleanup_queue() already destroyed all blkgs.

Fix it by skippping calling into policy draining if all the blkgs are
already gone.

commit d45b3279a5a2252cafcd665bbf2db8c9b31ef783 upstream.

There is no inherent reason why the last put of a tag structure must be
the one for the Scsi_Host, as device model objects can be held for
arbitrary periods.  Merge blk_free_tags and __blk_free_tags into a single
funtion that just release a references and get rid of the BUG() when the
host reference wasn't the last.

commit 3b3a1814d1703027f9867d0f5cbbfaf6c7482474 upstream.

This patch provides the compat BLKZEROOUT ioctl. The argument is a pointer
to two uint64_t values, so there is no need to translate it.

<title>blkcg: fix use-after-free in __blkg_release_rcu() by making blkcg_gq refcnt an atomic_t</title>

commit a5049a8ae34950249a7ae94c385d7c5c98914412 upstream.

Hello,

So, this patch should do.  Joe, Vivek, can one of you guys please
verify that the oops goes away with this patch?

Jens, the original thread can be read at

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1720729

The fix converts blkg-&gt;refcnt from int to atomic_t.  It does some
overhead but it should be minute compared to everything else which is
going on and the involved cacheline bouncing, so I think it's highly
unlikely to cause any noticeable difference.  Also, the refcnt in
question should be converted to a perpcu_ref for blk-mq anyway, so the
atomic_t is likely to go away pretty soon anyway.

Thanks.

__blkg_release_rcu() may be invoked after the associated request_queue
is released with a RCU grace period inbetween.  As such, the function
and callbacks invoked from it must not dereference the associated
request_queue.  This is clearly indicated in the comment above the
function.

Unfortunately, while trying to fix a different issue, 2a4fd070ee85
("blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU
callback") ignored this and added [un]locking of @blkg-&gt;q-&gt;queue_lock
to __blkg_release_rcu().  This of course can cause oops as the
request_queue may be long gone by the time this code gets executed.
