<title>xen/blkfront: force data bouncing when backend is untrusted</title>

<content type='text'>
Split the current bounce buffering logic used with persistent grants
into it's own option, and allow enabling it independently of
persistent grants.  This allows to reuse the same code paths to
perform the bounce buffering required to avoid leaking contiguous data
in shared pages not part of the request fragments.

Reporting whether the backend is to be trusted can be done using a
module parameter, or from the xenstore frontend path as set by the
toolstack when adding the device.

This is CVE-2022-33742, part of XSA-403.

<content type='text'>
When allocating pages to be used for shared communication with the
backend always zero them, this avoids leaking unintended data present
on the pages.

This is CVE-2022-26365, part of XSA-403.

When a VBD is not fully created and then closed, the kernel can have a
NULL pointer dereference:

The reproducer is trivial:

[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo xl block-attach work backend=sys-usb vdev=xvdi target=/dev/sdz
[user@dom0 ~]$ xl block-list work
Vdev  BE  handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path

51744 0   241    4     -1     -1       /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/241/51744
51760 0   241    4     -1     -1       /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/241/51760
51840 3   241    3     -1     -1       /local/domain/3/backend/vbd/241/51840
                 ^ note state, the /dev/sdz doesn't exist in the backend

[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo xl block-detach work xvdi
[user@dom0 ~]$ xl block-list work
Vdev  BE  handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
work is an invalid domain identifier

And its console has:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: disabled

info-&gt;rq and info-&gt;gd are only set in blkfront_connect(), which is
called for state 4 (XenbusStateConnected).  Guard against using NULL
variables in blkfront_closing() to avoid the issue.

The rest of blkfront_closing looks okay.  If info-&gt;nr_rings is 0, then
for_each_rinfo won't do anything.

blkfront_remove also needs to check for non-NULL pointers before
cleaning up the gendisk and request queue.

<content type='text'>
The bio and rq fields of struct nullb_cmd are now overlapping in a
union. So we cannot use a test on -&gt;bio being non-NULL to detect the
NULL_Q_BIO queue mode. null_zone_write() use such broken test to set the
sector position of a zone append write in the command bio or request.
When the null_blk device uses the NULL_Q_MQ queue mode,
null_zone_write() wrongly end up setting the bio sector position,
resulting in the command request to be broken and random crashes
following.

Fix this by testing the device queue mode directly.

This patch supports mq_ops-&gt;queue_rqs() hook. It has an advantage of
batch submission to virtio-blk driver. It also helps polling I/O because
polling uses batched completion of block layer. Batch submission in
queue_rqs() can boost polling performance.

In queue_rqs(), it iterates plug-&gt;mq_list, collects requests that
belong to same HW queue until it encounters a request from other
HW queue or sees the end of the list.
Then, virtio-blk adds requests into virtqueue and kicks virtqueue
to submit requests.

If there is an error, it inserts error request to requeue_list and
passes it to ordinary block layer path.

For verification, I did fio test.
(io_uring, randread, direct=1, bs=4K, iodepth=64 numjobs=N)
I set 4 vcpu and 2 virtio-blk queues for VM and run fio test 5 times.
It shows about 2% improvement.

                                 |   numjobs=2   |   numjobs=4
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio without queue_rqs()  |   291K IOPS   |   238K IOPS
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio with queue_rqs()     |   295K IOPS   |   243K IOPS

For polling I/O performance, I also did fio test as below.
(io_uring, hipri, randread, direct=1, bs=512, iodepth=64 numjobs=4)
I set 4 vcpu and 2 poll queues for VM.
It shows about 2% improvement in polling I/O.

                                      |   IOPS   |  avg latency
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio poll without queue_rqs()  |   424K   |   613.05 usec
      -----------------------------------------------------------
        fio poll with queue_rqs()     |   435K   |   601.01 usec
