<id>61a153d06ef4ce17bf2a200dc6e7247dc3b56a57</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 25cdb64510644f3e854d502d69c73f21c6df88a9 ]

The WRITE_SAME commands are not present in the blk_default_cmd_filter
write_ok list, and thus are failed with -EPERM when the SG_IO ioctl()
is executed without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users).
[ sg_io() -&gt; blk_fill_sghdr_rq() &gt; blk_verify_command() -&gt; -EPERM ]

The problem can be reproduced with the sg_write_same command

  # sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda
  #

  # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
    'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
    Write same: pass through os error: Operation not permitted
  #

For comparison, the WRITE_VERIFY command does not observe this problem,
since it is in that list:

  # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
    'sg_write_verify --num 1 --ilen 512 --lba 0 /dev/sda'
  #

So, this patch adds the WRITE_SAME commands to the list, in order
for the SG_IO ioctl to finish successfully:

  # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
    'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
  #

That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "&lt;disk type='block' device='lun'&gt;" [2]),
which employs the SG_IO ioctl() and runs as an unprivileged user (libvirt-qemu).

In that scenario, when a filesystem (e.g., ext4) performs its zero-out calls,
which are translated to write-same calls in the guest kernel, and then into
SG_IO ioctls to the host kernel, SCSI I/O errors may be observed in the guest:

  [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
  [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Sense Key : Aborted Command [current]
  [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Add. Sense: I/O process terminated
  [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 CDB: Write Same(10) 41 00 01 04 e0 78 00 00 08 00
  [...] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 17096824

<title>mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM</title>

<content type='text'>
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

<title>block: fix bogus EFAULT error from SG_IO ioctl</title>

Whenever blk_fill_sghdr_rq fails, its errno code is ignored and changed to
EFAULT.  This can cause very confusing errors:

  $ sg_persist -k /dev/sda
  persistent reservation in: pass through os error: Bad address

The fix is trivial, just propagate the return value from
blk_fill_sghdr_rq.

Make use of a new interface provided by iov_iter, backed by
scatter-gather list of iovec, instead of the old interface based on
sg_iovec. Also use iov_iter_advance() instead of manual iteration.

This commit should contain only literal replacements, without
functional changes.

So rename SERVICE_ACTION_IN to SERVICE_ACTION_IN_16 to be

When sg_scsi_ioctl() fails to prepare request to submit in
blk_rq_map_kern() we jump to a label where we just end up copying
(luckily zeroed-out) kernel buffer to userspace instead of reporting
error. Fix the problem by jumping to the right label.
