[ Upstream commit 6bf6b0aa3da84a3d9126919a94c49c0fb7ee2fb3 ]

If blk_mq_init_queue() returns an error, it gets assigned to
vblk-&gt;disk-&gt;queue. Then, when we call put_disk(), we end up calling
blk_put_queue() with the ERR_PTR, causing a bad dereference. Fix it by
only assigning to vblk-&gt;disk-&gt;queue on success.

<title>virtio_blk: avoid DMA to stack for the sense buffer</title>

commit a14d749fcebe97ddf6af6db3d1f6ece85c9ddcb9 upstream.

Most users of BLOCK_PC requests allocate the sense buffer on the stack,
so to avoid DMA to the stack copy them to a field in the heap allocated
virtblk_req structure.  Without that any attempt at SCSI passthrough I/O,
including the SG_IO ioctl from userspace will crash the kernel.  Note that
this includes running tools like hdparm even when the host does not have
SCSI passthrough enabled.

Multiplications for the size determination of memory allocations
indicated that array data structures should be processed.
Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

All drivers use the default, so provide an inline version of it.  If we
ever need other queue mapping we can add an optional method back,
although supporting will also require major changes to the queue setup
code.

This provides better code generation, and better debugability as well.

We do a lot of memory allocation in function init_vq, and don't handle
the allocation failure properly. Then this function will return 0,
although initialization fails due to lacking memory. At that moment,
kernel will panic in guest machine, if virtio is used to drive disk.

To fix this bug, we should take care of allocation failure, and return
correct value to let caller know what happen.

<title>block: ensure bios return from blk_get_request are properly initialized</title>

blk_get_request is used for BLOCK_PC and similar passthrough requests.
Currently we always need to call blk_rq_set_block_pc or an open coded
version of it to allow appending bios using the request mapping helpers
later on, which is a somewhat awkward API.  Instead move the
initialization part of blk_rq_set_block_pc into blk_get_request, so that
we always have a safe to use request.
