commit 596f5aad2a704b72934e5abec1b1b4114c16f45b upstream.

There may be lots of pending requests so that the buffer of PAGE_SIZE
can't hold them at all.

One typical example is scsi-mq, the queue depth(.can_queue) of
scsi_host and blk-mq is quite big but scsi_device's queue_depth
is a bit small(.cmd_per_lun), then it is quite easy to have lots
of pending requests in hw queue.

This patch fixes the following warning and the related memory
destruction.

commit 5f6c2d2b7dbb541c1e922538c49fa04c494ae3d7 upstream.

When a blkcg configuration is targeted to a partition rather than a
whole device, blkg_conf_prep fails with -EINVAL; unfortunately, it
forgets to put the gendisk ref in that case.  Fix it.

<title>blk-throttle: check stats_cpu before reading it from sysfs</title>

commit 045c47ca306acf30c740c285a77a4b4bda6be7c5 upstream.

When reading blkio.throttle.io_serviced in a recently created blkio
cgroup, it's possible to race against the creation of a throttle policy,
which delays the allocation of stats_cpu.

Like other functions in the throttle code, just checking for a NULL
stats_cpu prevents the following oops caused by that race.

And here is one code that allows to easily reproduce this, although this
has first been found by running docker.

void run(pid_t pid)
{
	int n;
	int status;
	int fd;
	char *buffer;
	buffer = memalign(BUFFER_ALIGN, BUFFER_SIZE);
	n = snprintf(buffer, BUFFER_SIZE, "%d\n", pid);
	fd = open(CGPATH "/test/tasks", O_WRONLY);
	write(fd, buffer, n);
	close(fd);
	if (fork() &gt; 0) {
		fd = open("/dev/sda", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
		read(fd, buffer, 512);
		close(fd);
		wait(&amp;status);
	} else {
		fd = open(CGPATH "/test/blkio.throttle.io_serviced", O_RDONLY);
		n = read(fd, buffer, BUFFER_SIZE);
		close(fd);
	}
	free(buffer);
	exit(0);
}

void test(void)
{
	int status;
	mkdir(CGPATH "/test", 0666);
	if (fork() &gt; 0)
		wait(&amp;status);
	else
		run(getpid());
	rmdir(CGPATH "/test");
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i &lt; NR_TESTS; i++)
		test();
	return 0;
}

commit 045c47ca306acf30c740c285a77a4b4bda6be7c5 upstream.

When reading blkio.throttle.io_serviced in a recently created blkio
cgroup, it's possible to race against the creation of a throttle policy,
which delays the allocation of stats_cpu.

Like other functions in the throttle code, just checking for a NULL
stats_cpu prevents the following oops caused by that race.

<title>cfq-iosched: fix incorrect filing of rt async cfqq</title>

commit c6ce194325cef342313e3d27620411ce90a89c50 upstream.

Hi,

If you can manage to submit an async write as the first async I/O from
the context of a process with realtime scheduling priority, then a
cfq_queue is allocated, but filed into the wrong async_cfqq bucket.  It
ends up in the best effort array, but actually has realtime I/O
scheduling priority set in cfqq-&gt;ioprio.

The reason is that cfq_get_queue assumes the default scheduling class and
priority when there is no information present (i.e. when the async cfqq
is created):

static struct cfq_queue *
cfq_get_queue(struct cfq_data *cfqd, bool is_sync, struct cfq_io_cq *cic,
	      struct bio *bio, gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
	const int ioprio_class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(cic-&gt;ioprio);
	const int ioprio = IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA(cic-&gt;ioprio);

cic-&gt;ioprio starts out as 0, which is "invalid".  So, class of 0
(IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) is passed to cfq_async_queue_prio like so:

		async_cfqq = cfq_async_queue_prio(cfqd, ioprio_class, ioprio);

static struct cfq_queue **
cfq_async_queue_prio(struct cfq_data *cfqd, int ioprio_class, int ioprio)
{
        switch (ioprio_class) {
        case IOPRIO_CLASS_RT:
                return &amp;cfqd-&gt;async_cfqq[0][ioprio];
        case IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE:
                ioprio = IOPRIO_NORM;
                /* fall through */
        case IOPRIO_CLASS_BE:
                return &amp;cfqd-&gt;async_cfqq[1][ioprio];
        case IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE:
                return &amp;cfqd-&gt;async_idle_cfqq;
        default:
                BUG();
        }
}

Here, instead of returning a class mapped from the process' scheduling
priority, we get back the bucket associated with IOPRIO_CLASS_BE.

Now, there is no queue allocated there yet, so we create it:

		cfqq = cfq_find_alloc_queue(cfqd, is_sync, cic, bio, gfp_mask);

That function ends up doing this:

			cfq_init_cfqq(cfqd, cfqq, current-&gt;pid, is_sync);
			cfq_init_prio_data(cfqq, cic);

cfq_init_cfqq marks the priority as having changed.  Then, cfq_init_prio
data does this:

	ioprio_class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(cic-&gt;ioprio);
	switch (ioprio_class) {
	default:
		printk(KERN_ERR "cfq: bad prio %x\n", ioprio_class);
	case IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE:
		/*
		 * no prio set, inherit CPU scheduling settings
		 */
		cfqq-&gt;ioprio = task_nice_ioprio(tsk);
		cfqq-&gt;ioprio_class = task_nice_ioclass(tsk);
		break;

So we basically have two code paths that treat IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE
differently, which results in an RT async cfqq filed into a best effort
bucket.

Attached is a patch which fixes the problem.  I'm not sure how to make
it cleaner.  Suggestions would be welcome.

commit 69abaffec7d47a083739b79e3066cb3730eba72e upstream.

Cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() allocates struct blkcg_gq using GFP_ATOMIC.
In cfq_find_alloc_queue() possible allocation failure is not handled.
As a result kernel oopses on NULL pointer dereference when
cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() calls cfqg_get() for NULL pointer.

Bug was introduced in v3.5 in commit cd1604fab4f9 ("blkcg: factor
out blkio_group creation"). Prior to that commit cfq group lookup
had returned pointer to root group as fallback.

This patch handles this error using existing fallback oom_cfqq.

commit 5fabcb4c33fe11c7e3afdf805fde26c1a54d0953 upstream.

We can get here from blkdev_ioctl() -&gt; blkpg_ioctl() -&gt; add_partition()
with a user passed in partno value. If we pass in 0x7fffffff, the
new target in disk_expand_part_tbl() overflows the 'int' and we
access beyond the end of ptbl-&gt;part[] and even write to it when we
do the rcu_assign_pointer() to assign the new partition.

commit 84ce0f0e94ac97217398b3b69c21c7a62ebeed05 upstream.

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.

commit b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c upstream.

The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset()
assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a
power-of-2.  Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min.

This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing
dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of
1280K.  Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data
block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to
the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.
