[ Upstream commit 5ac60242b0173be83709603ebaf27a473f16c4e4 ]

The parameters set by the set_params call are only applied to the block
device in the start_dev call. So if a device has already been started, a
subsequently issued set_params on that device will not have the desired
effect, and should return an error. There is an existing check for this
- set_params fails on devices in the LIVE state. But this check is not
sufficient to cover the recovery case. In this case, the device will be
in the QUIESCED or FAIL_IO states, so set_params will succeed. But this
success is misleading, because the parameters will not be applied, since
the device has already been started (by a previous ublk server). The bit
UB_STATE_USED is set on completion of the start_dev; use it to detect
and fail set_params commands which arrive too late to be applied (after
start_dev).

[ Upstream commit 844b8cdc681612ff24df62cdefddeab5772fadf1 ]

Following process can cause nbd_config UAF:

1) grab nbd_config temporarily;

2) nbd_genl_disconnect() flush all recv_work() and release the
initial reference:

  nbd_genl_disconnect
   nbd_disconnect_and_put
    nbd_disconnect
     flush_workqueue(nbd-&gt;recv_workq)
    if (test_and_clear_bit(NBD_RT_HAS_CONFIG_REF, ...))
     nbd_config_put
     -&gt; due to step 1), reference is still not zero

3) nbd_genl_reconfigure() queue recv_work() again;

  nbd_genl_reconfigure
   config = nbd_get_config_unlocked(nbd)
   if (!config)
   -&gt; succeed
   if (!test_bit(NBD_RT_BOUND, ...))
   -&gt; succeed
   nbd_reconnect_socket
    queue_work(nbd-&gt;recv_workq, &amp;args-&gt;work)

4) step 1) release the reference;

5) Finially, recv_work() will trigger UAF:

  recv_work
   nbd_config_put(nbd)
   -&gt; nbd_config is freed
   atomic_dec(&amp;config-&gt;recv_threads)
   -&gt; UAF

Fix the problem by clearing NBD_RT_BOUND in nbd_genl_disconnect(), so
that nbd_genl_reconfigure() will fail.

If zram_meta_alloc failed early, it frees allocated zram-&gt;table without
setting it NULL.  Which will potentially cause zram_meta_free to access
the table if user reset an failed and uninitialized device.

[ Upstream commit 7678abee0867e6b7fb89aa40f6e9f575f755fb37 ]

Commit 4ce6e2db00de ("virtio-blk: Ensure no requests in virtqueues before
deleting vqs.") replaces queue quiesce with queue freeze in virtio-blk's
PM callbacks. And the motivation is to drain inflight IOs before suspending.

block layer's queue freeze looks very handy, but it is also easy to cause
deadlock, such as, any attempt to call into bio_queue_enter() may run into
deadlock if the queue is frozen in current context. There are all kinds
of -&gt;suspend() called in suspend context, so keeping queue frozen in the
whole suspend context isn't one good idea. And Marek reported lockdep
warning[1] caused by virtio-blk's freeze queue in virtblk_freeze().

Given the motivation is to drain in-flight IOs, it can be done by calling
freeze &amp; unfreeze, meantime restore to previous behavior by keeping queue
quiesced during suspend.

commit 74363ec674cb172d8856de25776c8f3103f05e2f upstream.

Setting backing device is done before ZRAM initialization.  If we set the
backing device, then remove the ZRAM module without initializing the
device, the backing device reference will be leaked and the device will be
hold forever.

Fix this by always reset the ZRAM fully on rmmod or reset store.

<title>zram: refuse to use zero sized block device as backing device</title>

commit be48c412f6ebf38849213c19547bc6d5b692b5e5 upstream.

Patch series "zram: fix backing device setup issue", v2.

This series fixes two bugs of backing device setting:

- ZRAM should reject using a zero sized (or the uninitialized ZRAM
  device itself) as the backing device.
- Fix backing device leaking when removing a uninitialized ZRAM
  device.


This patch (of 2):

Setting a zero sized block device as backing device is pointless, and one
can easily create a recursive loop by setting the uninitialized ZRAM
device itself as its own backing device by (zram0 is uninitialized):

    echo /dev/zram0 &gt; /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev

It's definitely a wrong config, and the module will pin itself, kernel
should refuse doing so in the first place.

By refusing to use zero sized device we avoided misuse cases including
this one above.

[ Upstream commit d37da422edb0664a2037e6d7d42fe6d339aae78a ]

If entry does not fulfill current mark_idle() parameters, e.g.  cutoff
time, then we should clear its ZRAM_IDLE from previous mark_idle()
invocations.

Consider the following case:
- mark_idle() cutoff time 8h
- mark_idle() cutoff time 4h
- writeback() idle - will writeback entries with cutoff time 8h,
  while it should only pick entries with cutoff time 4h

The bug was reported by Shin Kawamura.

[ Upstream commit d37da422edb0664a2037e6d7d42fe6d339aae78a ]

If entry does not fulfill current mark_idle() parameters, e.g.  cutoff
time, then we should clear its ZRAM_IDLE from previous mark_idle()
invocations.

Consider the following case:
- mark_idle() cutoff time 8h
- mark_idle() cutoff time 4h
- writeback() idle - will writeback entries with cutoff time 8h,
  while it should only pick entries with cutoff time 4h

The bug was reported by Shin Kawamura.

ZRAM_SAME slots cannot be post-processed (writeback or recompress) so do
not mark them ZRAM_IDLE.  Same with ZRAM_WB slots, they cannot be
ZRAM_IDLE because they are not in zsmalloc pool anymore.

[ Upstream commit a7a0350583ba51d8cde6180bb51d704b89a3b29e ]

ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING enables two features:
- per-entry ac-time tracking
- debugfs interface

The latter one is the reason why memory-tracking depends on DEBUG_FS,
while the former one is used far beyond debugging these days.  Namely
ac-time is used for fine grained writeback of idle entries (pages).

Move ac-time tracking under its own config option so that it can be
enabled (along with writeback) on systems without DEBUG_FS.

commit f85219096648b251a81e9fe24a1974590cfc417d upstream.

Patch series "zram: IDLE flag handling fixes", v2.

zram can wrongly preserve ZRAM_IDLE flag on its entries which can result
in premature post-processing (writeback and recompression) of such
entries.

This patch (of 2)

Recompression should clear ZRAM_IDLE flag on the entries it has accessed,
because otherwise some entries, specifically those for which recompression
has failed, become immediate candidate entries for another post-processing
(e.g.  writeback).

Consider the following case:
- recompression marks entries IDLE every 4 hours and attempts
  to recompress them
- some entries are incompressible, so we keep them intact and
  hence preserve IDLE flag
- writeback marks entries IDLE every 8 hours and writebacks
  IDLE entries, however we have IDLE entries left from
  recompression, so writeback prematurely writebacks those
  entries.

The bug was reported by Shin Kawamura.
