If the dm_resume method is called on a device that is not suspended, the
method will suspend the device briefly, before resuming it (so that the
table will be swapped).

However, there was a bug that the return value of dm_suspended_md was not
checked. dm_suspended_md may return an error when it is interrupted by a
signal. In this case, do_resume would call dm_swap_table, which would
return -EINVAL.

This commit fixes the logic, so that error returned by dm_suspend is
checked and the resume operation is undone.

The kvmalloc function fails with a warning if the size is larger than
INT_MAX. The warning was triggered by a syscall testing robot.

In order to avoid the warning, this commit limits the number of targets to
1048576 and the size of the parameter area to 1073741824.

<title>dm ioctl: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad</title>

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

We expect `spec-&gt;target_type` to be NUL-terminated based on its use with
a format string after `dm_table_add_target()` is called
| 	r = dm_table_add_target(table, spec-&gt;target_type,
| 				(sector_t) spec-&gt;sector_start,
| 				(sector_t) spec-&gt;length,
| 				target_params);
... wherein `spec-&gt;target_type` is passed as parameter `type` and later
printed with DMERR:
|       DMERR("%s: %s: unknown target type", dm_device_name(t-&gt;md), type);

It appears that `spec` is not zero-allocated and thus NUL-padding may be
required in this ioctl context.

Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination whilst maintaining the
NUL-padding behavior that strncpy provides.

<title>dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps</title>

<id>f6007dce0cd35d634d9be91ef3515a6385dcee16</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a race condition in the multipath target when retrieve_deps
races with multipath_message calling dm_get_device and dm_put_device.
retrieve_deps walks the list of open devices without holding any lock
but multipath may add or remove devices to the list while it is
running. The end result may be memory corruption or use-after-free
memory access.

See this description of a UAF with multipath_message():
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2022-October/052373.html

Fix this bug by introducing a new rw semaphore "devices_lock". We grab
devices_lock for read in retrieve_deps and we grab it for write in
dm_get_device and dm_put_device.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix DM crypt target's crypt_ctr_cipher_new return value on invalid
   AEAD cipher

 - Fix DM flakey testing target's write bio corruption feature to
   corrupt the data of a cloned bio instead of the original

 - Add random_read_corrupt and random_write_corrupt features to DM
   flakey target

 - Fix ABBA deadlock in DM thin metadata by resetting associated bufio
   client rather than destroying and recreating it

 - A couple other small DM thinp cleanups

 - Update DM core to support disabling block core IO stats accounting
   and optimize away code that isn't needed if stats are disabled

 - Other small DM core cleanups

 - Improve DM integrity target to not require so much memory on 32 bit
   systems. Also only allocate the recalculate buffer as needed (and
   increasingly reduce its size on allocation failure)

 - Update DM integrity to use %*ph for printing hexdump of a small
   buffer. Also update DM integrity documentation

 - Various DM core ioctl interface hardening. Now more careful about
   alignment of structures and processing of input passed to the kernel
   from userspace.

   Also disallow the creation of DM devices named "control", "." or ".."

In the past, the function __vmalloc didn't respect the GFP flags - it
allocated memory with the provided gfp flags, but it allocated page tables
with GFP_KERNEL. This was fixed in commit 451769ebb7e7 ("mm/vmalloc:
alloc GFP_NO{FS,IO} for vmalloc") so the memalloc_noio_{save,restore}
workaround is no longer needed.

The function kvmalloc didn't like flags different from GFP_KERNEL. This
was fixed in commit a421ef303008 ("mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations
for kvmalloc"), so kvmalloc can now be called with GFP_NOIO.

Using either of these is going to greatly confuse userspace, as they are
not valid symlink names and so creating the usual /dev/mapper/NAME
symlink will not be possible.  As creating a device with either of these
names is almost certainly a userspace bug, just error out.

Typical userspace setups create a symlink under /dev/mapper with the
name of the device, but /dev/mapper/control is reserved for DM's control
device.  Therefore, trying to create such a device is almost certain to
be a userspace bug.
