* Revert "block: Remove extra discard_alignment from hd_struct."Jens Axboe2011-05-301-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes see unvalid disk->queue pointer values. Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into the queue, just revert the change. This reverts commit 23ceb5b7719e9276d4fa72a3ecf94dd396755276. Conflicts: fs/partitions/check.c

* | fs/partitions/efi.c: corrupted GUID partition tables can cause kernel oopsTimo Warns2011-05-271-0/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices. The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition tables. This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death"). crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size)); computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes. There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call. A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size. In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow. Validate value of GUID partition table header size.

When a bio is merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE. The detailed root cause is as follows. Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2. 1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight is 0 and sda2's one is 1. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's hd_struct->in_flight are not changed. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case, sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | -1 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on the number of lookups we have to do. Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.

The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

When a bio is merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE. The detailed root cause is as follows. Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2. 1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight is 0 and sda2's one is 1. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's hd_struct->in_flight are not changed. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case, sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | -1 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on the number of lookups we have to do. When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted again.

However, there are several other unhandled cases where truncated capacity can lead to misdetection of partitions. * Partition table is fully beyond EOD. * Partition table is partially beyond EOD (daisy chained ones). * Recognized partition starts beyond EOD. This patch updates generic partition check code such that all the above three cases are handled too. For the first two, @state tracks whether low level partition check code tried to read beyond EOD during partition scan and triggers native capacity unlocking accordingly. The third is now handled similarly to the original unlocking case. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Acked-by: David S.

All that's required is a simple one way notification to lower level driver telling it to try to unlock native capacity. There's no reason to pass in target capacity or return the new capacity. The former is always the inherent native capacity and the latter can be handled via the usual device resize / revalidation path. In fact, the current API is always used that way. Replace ->set_capacity() with ->unlock_native_capacity() which take only @disk and doesn't return anything. IDE which is the only current user of the API is converted accordingly.
