[ Upstream commit 8babe8cc6570ed896b7b596337eb8fe730c3ff45 ]

In order for the network layer to see that AoE requires
no checksumming in a generic way, the packets must be
marked as requiring no checksum, so we make this requirement
explicit with the assertion.

commit 2453f5f992717251cfadab6184fbb3ec2f2e8b40 upstream.

If a command completes with a status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR, this
information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not dropped
on the floor.  Unlike a similar bug in the hpsa driver, this bug
only affects tape drives and CD and DVD ROM drives in the cciss
driver, and to induce it, you have to disconnect (or damage) a
cable, so it is not a very likely scenario (which would explain
why the bug has gone undetected for the last 10 years.)

commit fded4e090c60100d709318896c79816d68d5b47d upstream.

Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.

There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
never completed or freed.

The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
cleared.

<title>virtio-blk: Reset device after blk_cleanup_queue()</title>

commit 483001c765af6892b3fc3726576cb42f17d1d6b5 upstream.

blk_cleanup_queue() will call blk_drian_queue() to drain all the
requests before queue DEAD marking. If we reset the device before
blk_cleanup_queue() the drain would fail.

1) if the queue is stopped in do_virtblk_request() because device is
full, the q-&gt;request_fn() will not be called.

blk_drain_queue() {
   while(true) {
      ...
      if (!list_empty(&amp;q-&gt;queue_head))
        __blk_run_queue(q) {
	    if (queue is not stoped)
		q-&gt;request_fn()
	}
      ...
   }
}

Do no reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() gives the chance to
start the queue in interrupt handler blk_done().

2) In commit b79d866c8b7014a51f611a64c40546109beaf24a, We abort requests
dispatched to driver before blk_cleanup_queue(). There is a race if
requests are dispatched to driver after the abort and before the queue
DEAD mark. To fix this, instead of aborting the requests explicitly, we
can just reset the device after after blk_cleanup_queue so that the
device can complete all the requests before queue DEAD marking in the
drain process.

<title>virtio-blk: Call del_gendisk() before disable guest kick</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 02e2b124943648fba0a2ccee5c3656a5653e0151 upstream.

del_gendisk() might not return due to failing to remove the
/sys/block/vda/serial sysfs entry when another thread (udev) is
trying to read it.

virtblk_remove()
  vdev-&gt;config-&gt;reset() : guest will not kick us through interrupt
    del_gendisk()
      device_del()
        kobject_del(): got stuck, sysfs entry ref count non zero

sysfs_open_file(): user space process read /sys/block/vda/serial
   sysfs_get_active() : got sysfs entry ref count
      dev_attr_show()
        virtblk_serial_show()
           blk_execute_rq() : got stuck, interrupt is disabled
                              request cannot be finished

This patch fixes it by calling del_gendisk() before we disable guest's
interrupt so that the request sent in virtblk_serial_show() will be
finished and del_gendisk() will success.

This fixes another race in hot-unplug process.

It is save to call del_gendisk(vblk-&gt;disk) before
flush_work(&amp;vblk-&gt;config_work) which might access vblk-&gt;disk, because
vblk-&gt;disk is not freed until put_disk(vblk-&gt;disk).

commit b79d866c8b7014a51f611a64c40546109beaf24a upstream.

If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched
to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck
in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail.

blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued
before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is
already stopped. We'll have q-&gt;in_flight[] &gt; 0, so the drain will not
finish.

How to reproduce the race:
1. hot-plug a virtio-blk device
2. keep reading/writing the device in guest
3. hot-unplug while the device is busy serving I/O

Test:
~1000 rounds of hot-plug/hot-unplug test passed with this patch.

Changes in v3:
- Drop blk_abort_queue and blk_abort_request
- Use __blk_end_request_all to complete request dispatched to driver

Changes in v2:
- Drop req_in_flight
- Use virtqueue_detach_unused_buf to get request dispatched to driver

commit 4678d6f970c2f7c0cbfefc0cc666432d153b321b upstream.

Fix a theoretical race related to config work
handler: a config interrupt might happen
after we flush config work but before we
reset the device. It will then cause the
config work to run during or after reset.

Two problems with this:
- if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free
- access of config while reset is in progress is racy
(as layout is changing).

As a solution
1. flush after reset when we know there will be no more interrupts
2. add a flag to disable config access before reset

commit 4678d6f970c2f7c0cbfefc0cc666432d153b321b upstream.

Fix a theoretical race related to config work
handler: a config interrupt might happen
after we flush config work but before we
reset the device. It will then cause the
config work to run during or after reset.

Two problems with this:
- if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free
- access of config while reset is in progress is racy
(as layout is changing).

As a solution
1. flush after reset when we know there will be no more interrupts
2. add a flag to disable config access before reset

commit b0cf0b118c90477d1a6811f2cd2307f6a5578362 upstream.

Delete code which sets SCSI status incorrectly as it's already been set
correctly above this incorrect code.  The bug was introduced in 2009 by
commit b0e15f6db111 ("cciss: fix typo that causes scsi status to be
lost.")

<title>virtio-blk: Use block layer provided spinlock</title>

commit 2c95a3290919541b846bee3e0fbaa75860929f53 upstream.

Block layer will allocate a spinlock for the queue if the driver does
not provide one in blk_init_queue().

The reason to use the internal spinlock is that blk_cleanup_queue() will
switch to use the internal spinlock in the cleanup code path.

        if (q-&gt;queue_lock != &amp;q-&gt;__queue_lock)
                q-&gt;queue_lock = &amp;q-&gt;__queue_lock;

However, processes which are in D state might have taken the driver
provided spinlock, when the processes wake up, they would release the
block provided spinlock.

=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
3.4.0-rc7+ #238 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
fio/3587 is trying to release lock (&amp;(&amp;q-&gt;__queue_lock)-&gt;rlock) at:
[&lt;ffffffff813274d2&gt;] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380
but there are no more locks to release!

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by fio/3587:
 #0:  (&amp;(&amp;vblk-&gt;lock)-&gt;rlock){......}, at:
[&lt;ffffffff8132661a&gt;] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250

Other drivers use block layer provided spinlock as well, e.g. SCSI.

Switching to the block layer provided spinlock saves a bit of memory and
does not increase lock contention. Performance test shows no real
difference is observed before and after this patch.

Changes in v2: Improve commit log as Michael suggested.
