floppy: refactor open() flags handling

2016-02-06T22:00:22Z

In case /dev/fdX is open with O_NDELAY / O_NONBLOCK, floppy_open() immediately succeeds, without performing any further media / controller preparations. That's "correct" wrt. the NODELAY flag, but is hardly correct wrt. the rest of the floppy driver, that is not really O_NONBLOCK ready, at all. Therefore it's not too surprising, that subsequent attempts to work with the filedescriptor produce bad results. Namely, syzkaller tool has been able to livelock mmap() on the returned fd to keep waiting on the page unlock bit forever. Quite frankly, I have trouble defining what non-blocking behavior would be for floppies. Is waiting ages for the driver to actually succeed reading a sector blocking operation? Is waiting for drive motor to start blocking operation? How about in case of virtualized floppies? One option would be returning EWOULDBLOCK in case O_NDLEAY / O_NONBLOCK is being passed to open(). That has a theoretical potential of breaking some arcane and archaic userspace though. Let's take a more conservative aproach, and accept the O_NDLEAY flag, and let the driver behave as usual. While at it, clean up a bit handling of !(mode & (FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE)) case and return EINVAL instead of succeeding as well. Spotted by syzkaller tool.

Locking fix from Jiri

floppy: fix lock_fdc() signal handling

2016-02-01T10:19:17Z

floppy_revalidate() doesn't perform any error handling on lock_fdc() result. lock_fdc() might actually be interrupted by a signal (it waits for fdc becoming non-busy interruptibly). In such case, floppy_revalidate() proceeds as if it had claimed the lock, but it fact it doesn't. In case of multiple threads trying to open("/dev/fdX"), this leads to serious corruptions all over the place, because all of a sudden there is no critical section protection (that'd otherwise be guaranteed by locked fd) whatsoever. While at this, fix the fact that the 'interruptible' parameter to lock_fdc() doesn't make any sense whatsoever, because we always wait interruptibly anyway. Most of the lock_fdc() callsites do properly handle error (and propagate EINTR), but floppy_revalidate() and floppy_check_events() don't. Fix this. Spotted by 'syzkaller' tool.

floppy: make local variable non-static

2015-12-08T14:15:32Z

There's no reason for temparea to be static, since it's only used for temporary sprintf output. It's not immediately obvious that the output will always fit (in the worst case, the output including '\0' is exactly 32 bytes), so save a future reader from worrying about that.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio

2015-07-29T14:55:15Z

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe: "Now that the core bits are in, here's the pull request for the driver related changes for 3.16. Nothing out of the ordinary here, mostly business as usual. There are a few pulls of for-3.16/core into this branch, which were done when the blk-mq was modified after the mtip32xx conversion was put in. The pull request contains: - skd and cciss converted to use pci_enable_msix_exact(). From Alexander Gordeev. - A few mtip32xx fixes from Asai @ Micron. - The conversion of mtip32xx from make_request_fn to blk-mq, and a later small fix for that conversion on quiescing for non-queued IO. From me. - A fix for bsg to use an exported function to check whether this driver is request based or not. Needed updating for blk-mq, which is request based, but does not have a request_fn hook. From me. - Small floppy bug fix from Jiri. - A series of cleanups for the cdrom uniform layer from Joe Perches. Gets rid of various old ugly macros, making the code conform more to the modern coding style. - A series of patches for drbd from the drbd crew (Lars Ellenberg and Philipp Reisner). - A use-after-free fix for null_blk from Ming Lei. - Also from Ming Lei is a performance patch for virtio-blk, which can net us a 3x win on kvm platforms where world notification is expensive. - Ming Lei also fixed a stall issue in virtio-blk, due to a race between queue start/stop and resource limits. - A small batch of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Olaf Hering and Valentin Priescu" * 'for-3.16/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (54 commits) block: virtio_blk: don't hold spin lock during world switch xen-blkback: defer freeing blkif to avoid blocking xenwatch xen blkif.h: fix comment typo in discard-alignment xen/blkback: disable discard feature if requested by toolstack xen-blkfront: remove type check from blkfront_setup_discard floppy: do not corrupt bio.bi_flags when reading block 0 mtip32xx: move error handling to service thread virtio_blk: fix race between start and stop queue mtip32xx: stop block hardware queues before quiescing IO mtip32xx: blk_mq_init_queue() returns an ERR_PTR mtip32xx: convert to use blk-mq cdrom: Remove unnecessary prototype for cdrom_get_disc_info cdrom: Remove unnecessary prototype for cdrom_mrw_exit cdrom: Remove cdrom_count_tracks prototype cdrom: Remove cdrom_get_next_writeable prototype cdrom: Remove cdrom_get_last_written prototype cdrom: Move mmc_ioctls above cdrom_ioctl to remove unnecessary prototype cdrom: Remove unnecessary sanitize_format prototype cdrom: Remove unnecessary check_for_audio_disc prototype cdrom: Remove prototype for open_for_data ...

Merge branch 'for-3.16/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block into next

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe: "It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone into blk-mq in the last 3 months. Generally we're heading to where 3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq. scsi-mq is progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17. A nvme port is in progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16. This pull request contains: - Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated. All from Christoph. - API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph. - Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for blk-mq from Ming Lei. - A flew of blk-mq updates from me: * Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU to queue mapping. This enables optimizations in the driver. * Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never really worked well for blk-mq. percpu_ida relies on the fact that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to exhausting) the tag space. * Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq * Various fixes for IO timeouts. * API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations. - Remove 'buffer' from struct request. This is ancient code, from when requests were always virtually mapped. Kill it, to reclaim some space in struct request. From me. - Remove 'magic' from blk_plug. Since we store these on the stack and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just get rid of it. From me. - Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two atomic reads. Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing IO on blk-mq. From me. - File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/. This includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c. From me, from a discussion on lkml. That should describe the meat of the pull request.
