drbd: fix null-pointer dereference on local read error

2026-03-25T10:05:37+00:00

commit 0d195d3b205ca90db30d70d09d7bb6909aac178f upstream.

In drbd_request_endio(), READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR is passed to
__req_mod() with a NULL peer_device:

  __req_mod(req, what, NULL, &m);

The READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR handler then unconditionally passes this
NULL peer_device to drbd_set_out_of_sync(), which dereferences it,
causing a null-pointer dereference.

Fix this by obtaining the peer_device via first_peer_device(device),
matching how drbd_req_destroy() handles the same situation.

drbd: fix "LOGIC BUG" in drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock()

2026-03-25T10:05:37+00:00

commit ab140365fb62c0bdab22b2f516aff563b2559e3b upstream.

Even though we check that we "should" be able to do lc_get_cumulative()
while holding the device->al_lock spinlock, it may still fail,
if some other code path decided to do lc_try_lock() with bad timing.

If that happened, we logged "LOGIC BUG for enr=...",
but still did not return an error.

The rest of the code now assumed that this request has references
for the relevant activity log extents.

The implcations are that during an active resync, mutual exclusivity of
resync versus application IO is not guaranteed. And a potential crash
at this point may not realizs that these extents could have been target
of in-flight IO and would need to be resynced just in case.

Also, once the request completes, it will give up activity log references it
does not even hold, which will trigger a BUG_ON(refcnt == 0) in lc_put().

Fix:

Do not crash the kernel for a condition that is harmless during normal
operation: also catch "e->refcnt == 0", not only "e == NULL"
when being noisy about "al_complete_io() called on inactive extent %u\n".

And do not try to be smart and "guess" whether something will work, then
be surprised when it does not.
Deal with the fact that it may or may not work.  If it does not, remember a
possible "partially in activity log" state (only possible for requests that
cross extent boundaries), and return an error code from
drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock().

A latter call for the same request will then resume from where we left off.

rnbd-srv: Zero the rsp buffer before using it

Before using the data buffer to send back the response message, zero it
completely. This prevents any stray bytes to be picked up by the client
side when there the message is exchanged between different protocol

ublk: Validate SQE128 flag before accessing the cmd

[ Upstream commit da7e4b75e50c087d2031a92f6646eb90f7045a67 ]

ublk_ctrl_cmd_dump() accesses (header *)sqe->cmd before
IO_URING_F_SQE128 flag check. This could cause out of boundary memory
access.

Move the SQE128 flag check earlier in ublk_ctrl_uring_cmd() to return
-EINVAL immediately if the flag is not set.

ublk: fix deadlock when reading partition table

2026-02-11T12:39:08+00:00

commit c258f5c4502c9667bccf5d76fa731ab9c96687c1 upstream.

When one process(such as udev) opens ublk block device (e.g., to read
the partition table via bdev_open()), a deadlock[1] can occur:

1. bdev_open() grabs disk->open_mutex
2. The process issues read I/O to ublk backend to read partition table
3. In __ublk_complete_rq(), blk_update_request() or blk_mq_end_request()
   runs bio->bi_end_io() callbacks
4. If this triggers fput() on file descriptor of ublk block device, the
   work may be deferred to current task's task work (see fput() implementation)
5. This eventually calls blkdev_release() from the same context
6. blkdev_release() tries to grab disk->open_mutex again
7. Deadlock: same task waiting for a mutex it already holds

The fix is to run blk_update_request() and blk_mq_end_request() with bottom
halves disabled. This forces blkdev_release() to run in kernel work-queue
context instead of current task work context, and allows ublk server to make
forward progress, and avoids the deadlock.

rbd: check for EOD after exclusive lock is ensured to be held

2026-02-11T12:39:08+00:00

commit bd3884a204c3b507e6baa9a4091aa927f9af5404 upstream.

Similar to commit 870611e4877e ("rbd: get snapshot context after
exclusive lock is ensured to be held"), move the "beyond EOD" check
into the image request state machine so that it's performed after
exclusive lock is ensured to be held.  This avoids various race
conditions which can arise when the image is shrunk under I/O (in
practice, mostly readahead).  In one such scenario

    rbd_assert(objno < rbd_dev->object_map_size);

can be triggered if a close-to-EOD read gets queued right before the
shrink is initiated and the EOD check is performed against an outdated
mapping_size.  After the resize is done on the server side and exclusive
lock is (re)acquired bringing along the new (now shrunk) object map, the
read starts going through the state machine and rbd_obj_may_exist() gets
invoked on an object that is out of bounds of rbd_dev->object_map array.

null_blk: fix kmemleak by releasing references to fault configfs items

2026-01-30T09:27:26+00:00

commit 40b94ec7edbbb867c4e26a1a43d2b898f04b93c5 upstream.

When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NULL_BLK_FAULT_INJECTION is enabled, the null-blk
driver sets up fault injection support by creating the timeout_inject,
requeue_inject, and init_hctx_fault_inject configfs items as children
of the top-level nullbX configfs group.

However, when the nullbX device is removed, the references taken to
these fault-config configfs items are not released. As a result,
kmemleak reports a memory leak, for example:

unreferenced object 0xc00000021ff25c40 (size 32):

Fix this by explicitly releasing the references to the fault-config
configfs items when dropping the reference to the top-level nullbX
configfs group.

floppy: fix for PAGE_SIZE != 4KB

2026-01-11T14:21:55+00:00

commit 82d20481024cbae2ea87fe8b86d12961bfda7169 upstream.

For years I wondered why the floppy driver does not just work on
sparc64, e.g:

root@SUNW_375_0066:# disktype /dev/fd0
disktype: Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address

[  525.341906] disktype: attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, sector=0, nr_sectors = 16 limit=8
[  525.341991] floppy: error 10 while reading block 0

Turns out floppy.c __floppy_read_block_0 tries to read one page for
the first test read to determine the disk size and thus fails if that
is greater than 4k. Adjust minimum MAX_DISK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE to fix
floppy on sparc64 and likely all other PAGE_SIZE != 4KB configs.
