null_blk: use async queue restart helper

2015-12-28T20:07:09Z

If null_blk is run in NULL_IRQ_TIMER mode and with queue_mode NULL_Q_RQ, we need to restart the queue from the hrtimer interrupt. We can't directly invoke the request_fn from that context, so punt the queue run to async kblockd context. Tested-by: Rabin Vincent Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "Three small fixes for 4.4 final. Specifically: - The segment issue fix from Junichi, where the old IO path does a bio limit split before potentially bouncing the pages. We need to do that in the right order, to ensure that limitations are met. - A NVMe surprise removal IO hang fix from Keith. - A use-after-free in null_blk, introduced by a previous patch in this series. From Mike Krinkin" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: null_blk: fix use-after-free error block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bio NVMe: IO ending fixes on surprise removal

null_blk: fix use-after-free error

2015-12-22T17:42:48Z

blk_end_request_all may free request, so we need to save request_queue pointer before blk_end_request_all call. The problem was introduced in commit cf8ecc5a8455266f8d51 ("null_blk: guarantee device restart in all irq modes") and causes general protection fault with slab poisoning enabled.

xen-blkback: read from indirect descriptors only once

2015-12-18T15:00:37Z

Since indirect descriptors are in memory shared with the frontend, the frontend could alter the first_sect and last_sect values after they have been validated but before they are recorded in the request. This may result in I/O requests that overflow the foreign page, possibly overwriting local pages when the I/O request is executed. When parsing indirect descriptors, only read first_sect and last_sect once. This is part of XSA155.

xen-blkback: only read request operation from shared ring once

2015-12-18T15:00:32Z

A compiler may load a switch statement value multiple times, which could be bad when the value is in memory shared with the frontend. When converting a non-native request to a native one, ensure that src->operation is only loaded once by using READ_ONCE(). This is part of XSA155.

lightnvm: replace req queue with nvmdev for lld

2015-12-07T16:14:19Z

In the case where a request queue is passed to the low lever lightnvm device drive integration, the device driver might pass its admin commands through another queue. Instead pass nvm_dev, and let the low level drive the appropriate queue. Reported-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
