commit 70b16db86f564977df074072143284aec2cb1162 upstream.

Commit 4e752f0ab0e8 ("rbd: access snapshot context and mapping size
safely") moved ceph_get_snap_context() out of rbd_img_request_create()
and into rbd_queue_workfn(), adding a ceph_put_snap_context() to the
error path in rbd_queue_workfn().  However, rbd_img_request_create()
consumes a ref on snapc, so calling ceph_put_snap_context() after
a successful rbd_img_request_create() leads to an extra put.  Fix it.

<title>NVMe: Fix memory leak on retried commands</title>

commit 0dfc70c33409afc232ef0b9ec210535dfbf9bc61 upstream.

Resources are reallocated for requeued commands, so unmap and release
the iod for the failed command.

It's a pretty bad memory leak and causes a kernel hang if you remove a
drive because of a busy dma pool. You'll get messages spewing like this:

  nvme 0000:xx:xx.x: dma_pool_destroy prp list 256, ffff880420dec000 busy

and lock up pci and the driver since removal never completes while
holding a lock.

commit a54c8f0f2d7df525ff997e2afe71866a1a013064 upstream.

xen-blkfront will crash if the check to talk_to_blkback()
in blkback_changed()(XenbusStateInitWait) returns an error.
The driver data is freed and info is set to NULL. Later during
the close process via talk_to_blkback's call to xenbus_dev_fatal()
the null pointer is passed to and dereference in blkfront_closing.

commit 835da3f99d329b1160a1f7fc82c7ac81163d63d0 upstream.

Compiling the nvme driver on 32-bit warns about a cast from a __u64
variable to a pointer:

drivers/block/nvme-core.c: In function 'nvme_submit_io':
drivers/block/nvme-core.c:1847:4: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
    (void __user *)io.addr, length, NULL, 0);

The cast here is intentional and safe, so we can shut up the
gcc warning by adding an intermediate cast to 'uintptr_t'.

I had previously submitted a patch to fix this problem in the
nvme driver, but it was accepted on the same day that two new
warnings got added.

For clarification, I also change the third instance of this cast
to use uintptr_t instead of unsigned long now.

<title>rbd: prevent kernel stack blow up on rbd map</title>

commit 6d69bb536bac0d403d83db1ca841444981b280cd upstream.

Mapping an image with a long parent chain (e.g. image foo, whose parent
is bar, whose parent is baz, etc) currently leads to a kernel stack
overflow, due to the following recursion in the reply path:

  rbd_osd_req_callback()
    rbd_obj_request_complete()
      rbd_img_obj_callback()
        rbd_img_parent_read_callback()
          rbd_obj_request_complete()
            ...

Limit the parent chain to 16 images, which is ~5K worth of stack.  When
the above recursion is eliminated, this limit can be lifted.

commit 1f2c6651f69c14d0d3a9cfbda44ea101b02160ba upstream.

Currently we leak parent_spec and trigger a "parent reference
underflow" warning if rbd_dev_create() in rbd_dev_probe_parent() fails.
The problem is we take the !parent out_err branch and that only drops
refcounts; parent_spec that would've been freed had we called
rbd_dev_unparent() remains and triggers rbd_warn() in
rbd_dev_parent_put() - at that point we have parent_spec != NULL and
parent_ref == 0, so counter ends up being -1 after the decrement.

Redo rbd_dev_probe_parent() to fix this.

<title>rbd: require stable pages if message data CRCs are enabled</title>

commit bae818ee1577c27356093901a0ea48f672eda514 upstream.

rbd requires stable pages, as it performs a crc of the page data before
they are send to the OSDs.

But since kernel 3.9 (patch 1d1d1a767206fbe5d4c69493b7e6d2a8d08cc0a0
"mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires
it") it is not assumed anymore that block devices require stable pages.

This patch sets the necessary flag to get stable pages back for rbd.

In a ceph installation that provides multiple ext4 formatted rbd
devices "bad crc" messages appeared regularly (ca 1 message every 1-2
minutes on every OSD that provided the data for the rbd) in the
OSD-logs before this patch. After this patch this messages are pretty
much gone (only ca 1-2 / month / OSD).

If rbd_dev_image_probe() in rbd_dev_probe_parent() fails, header_name
is freed twice: once in rbd_dev_probe_parent() and then in its caller
rbd_dev_image_probe() (rbd_dev_image_probe() is called recursively to
handle parent images).

rbd_dev_probe_parent() is responsible for probing the parent, so it
shouldn't muck with clone's fields.

Request allocation has been moved to connect_ring, which is called every
time blkback connects to the frontend (this can happen multiple times during
a blkback instance life cycle). On the other hand, request freeing has not
been moved, so it's only called when destroying the backend instance. Due to
this mismatch, blkback can allocate the request pool multiple times, without
freeing it.

In order to fix it, move the freeing of requests to xen_blkif_disconnect to
restore the symmetry between request allocation and freeing.

commit f929d42ceb18a8acfd47e0e7b7d90b5d49bd9258 upstream.

This is due to  commit 86839c56dee28c315a4c19b7bfee450ccd84cd25
"xen/block: add multi-page ring support"

When using an guest under UEFI - after the domain is destroyed
the following warning comes from blkback.

<title>zram: fix possible use after free in zcomp_create()</title>

commit 3aaf14da807a4e9931a37f21e4251abb8a67021b upstream.

zcomp_create() verifies the success of zcomp_strm_{multi,single}_create()
through comp-&gt;stream, which can potentially be pointing to memory that
was freed if these functions returned an error.

While at it, replace a 'ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)' by a more generic
'ERR_PTR(error)' as in the future zcomp_strm_{multi,siggle}_create()
could return other error codes.  Function documentation updated
accordingly.
