commit 2630628b2dbc3fc320aafaf84836119e4e3d62f1 upstream.

Apparently we now implicitly get definitions for BITS_PER_PAGE and
BITS_PER_PAGE_MASK from the pid_namespace.h

Instead of renaming our defines, I chose to define only if not yet
defined, but to double check the value if already defined.

<title>zram: do not use copy_page with non-page aligned address</title>

commit d72e9a7a93e4f8e9e52491921d99e0c8aa89eb4e upstream.

The copy_page is optimized memcpy for page-alinged address.  If it is
used with non-page aligned address, it can corrupt memory which means
system corruption.  With zram, it can happen with

1. 64K architecture
2. partial IO
3. slub debug

Partial IO need to allocate a page and zram allocates it via kmalloc.
With slub debug, kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) doesn't return page-size aligned
address.  And finally, copy_page(mem, cmem) corrupts memory.

So, this patch changes it to memcpy.

Actuaully, we don't need to change zram_bvec_write part because zsmalloc
returns page-aligned address in case of PAGE_SIZE class but it's not
good to rely on the internal of zsmalloc.

Note:
 When this patch is merged to stable, clear_page should be fixed, too.
 Unfortunately, recent zram removes it by "same page merge" feature so
 it's hard to backport this patch to -stable tree.

I will handle it when I receive the mail from stable tree maintainer to
merge this patch to backport.

commit e02898b423802b1f3a3aaa7f16e896da069ba8f7 upstream.

loop_reread_partitions() needs to do I/O, but we just froze the queue,
so we end up waiting forever. This can easily be reproduced with losetup
-P. Fix it by moving the reread to after we unfreeze the queue.

commit ecdd09597a57251323b0de50e3d45e69298c4a83 upstream.

Inside set_status, transfer need to setup again, so
we have to drain IO before the transition, otherwise
oops may be triggered like the following:

commit 5c7e9ccd91b90d87029261f8856294ee51934cab upstream.

zram hot_add sysfs attribute is a very 'special' attribute - reading
from it creates a new uninitialized zram device.  This file, by a
mistake, can be read by a 'normal' user at the moment, while only root
must be able to create a new zram device, therefore hot_add attribute
must have S_IRUSR mode, not S_IRUGO.

commit 529e71e16403830ae0d737a66c55c5f360f3576b upstream.

The zram hot removal code calls idr_remove() even when zram_remove()
returns an error (typically -EBUSY).  This results in a leftover at the
device release, eventually leading to a crash when the module is
reloaded.

As described in the bug report below, the following procedure would
cause an Oops with zram:

 - provision three zram devices via modprobe zram num_devices=3
 - configure a size for each device
   + echo "1G" &gt; /sys/block/$zram_name/disksize
 - mkfs and mount zram0 only
 - attempt to hot remove all three devices
   + echo 2 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
   + echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
   + echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
     - zram0 removal fails with EBUSY, as expected
 - unmount zram0
 - try zram0 hot remove again
   + echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
     - fails with ENODEV (unexpected)
 - unload zram kernel module
   + completes successfully
 - zram0 device node still exists
 - attempt to mount /dev/zram0
   + mount command is killed
   + following BUG is encountered

<title>drbd: Fix kernel_sendmsg() usage - potential NULL deref</title>

commit d8e9e5e80e882b4f90cba7edf1e6cb7376e52e54 upstream.

Don't pass a size larger than iov_len to kernel_sendmsg().
Otherwise it will cause a NULL pointer deref when kernel_sendmsg()
returns with rv &lt; size.

DRBD as external module has been around in the kernel 2.4 days already.
We used to be compatible to 2.4 and very early 2.6 kernels,
we used to use
 rv = sock_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, iov.iov_len);
then later changed to
 rv = kernel_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, &amp;iov, 1, size);
when we should have used
 rv = kernel_sendmsg(sock, &amp;msg, &amp;iov, 1, iov.iov_len);

tcp_sendmsg() used to totally ignore the size parameter.
 57be5bd ip: convert tcp_sendmsg() to iov_iter primitives
changes that, and exposes our long standing error.

Even with this error exposed, to trigger the bug, we would need to have
an environment (config or otherwise) causing us to not use sendpage()
for larger transfers, a failing connection, and have it fail "just at the
right time".  Apparently that was unlikely enough for most, so this went
unnoticed for years.

Still, it is known to trigger at least some of these,
and suspected for the others:

[3] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2336150
[4] http://e2.howsolveproblem.com/i/1175162/

This should go into 4.9,
and into all stable branches since and including v4.0,
which is the first to contain the exposing change.

It is correct for all stable branches older than that as well
(which contain the DRBD driver; which is 2.6.33 and up).

It requires a small "conflict" resolution for v4.4 and earlier, with v4.5
we dropped the comment block immediately preceding the kernel_sendmsg().

<title>nbd: ratelimit error msgs after socket close</title>

commit da6ccaaa79caca4f38b540b651238f87215217a2 upstream.

Make the "Attempted send on closed socket" error messages generated in
nbd_request_handler() ratelimited.

When the nbd socket is shutdown, the nbd_request_handler() function emits
an error message for every request remaining in its queue.  If the queue
is large, this will spam a large amount of messages to the log.  There's
no need for a separate error message for each request, so this patch
ratelimits it.

In the specific case this was found, the system was virtual and the error
messages were logged to the serial port, which overwhelmed it.

commit dec63a4dec2d6d01346fd5d96062e67c0636852b upstream.

gcc-6.0 found an ancient bug in the paride driver, which had a
"module_param(verbose, bool, 0);" since before 2.6.12, but actually uses
it to accept '0', '1' or '2' as arguments:

  drivers/block/paride/pd.c: In function 'pd_init_dev_parms':
  drivers/block/paride/pd.c:298:29: warning: comparison of constant '1' with boolean expression is always false [-Wbool-compare]
   #define DBMSG(msg) ((verbose&gt;1)?(msg):NULL)

In 2012, Rusty did a cleanup patch that also changed the type of the
variable to 'bool', which introduced what is now a gcc warning.

This changes the type back to 'int' and adapts the module_param() line
instead, so it should work as documented in case anyone ever cares about
running the ancient driver with debugging.
