dm bufio: avoid a possible __vmalloc deadlock

2013-05-30T13:34:56+00:00

commit 502624bdad3dba45dfaacaf36b7d83e39e74b2d2 upstream.

This patch uses memalloc_noio_save to avoid a possible deadlock in
dm-bufio.  (it could happen only with large block size, at most
PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER (typically 8MiB).

__vmalloc doesn't fully respect gfp flags. The specified gfp flags are
used for allocation of requested pages, structures vmap_area, vmap_block
and vm_struct and the radix tree nodes.

However, the kernel pagetables are allocated always with GFP_KERNEL.
Thus the allocation of pagetables can recurse back to the I/O layer and
cause a deadlock.

This patch uses the function memalloc_noio_save to set per-process
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and the function memalloc_noio_restore to restore
it. When this flag is set, all allocations in the process are done with
implied GFP_NOIO flag, thus the deadlock can't happen.

This should be backported to stable kernels, but they don't have the
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and memalloc_noio_save/memalloc_noio_restore
functions. So, PF_MEMALLOC should be set and restored instead.

md: bad block list should default to disabled.

2013-05-13T14:02:29+00:00

commit 486adf72ccc0c235754923d47a2270c5dcb0c98b upstream.

Maintenance of a bad-block-list currently defaults to 'enabled'
and is then disabled when it cannot be supported.
This is backwards and causes problem for dm-raid which didn't know
to disable it.

So fix the defaults, and only enabled for v1.x metadata which
explicitly has bad blocks enabled.

The problem with dm-raid has been present since badblock support was
added in v3.1, so this patch is suitable for any -stable from 3.1
onwards.

dm thin: fix discard corruption

2013-03-27T02:41:19+00:00

commit f046f89a99ccfd9408b94c653374ff3065c7edb3 upstream.

Fix a bug in dm_btree_remove that could leave leaf values with incorrect
reference counts.  The effect of this was that removal of a shared block
could result in the space maps thinking the block was no longer used.
More concretely, if you have a thin device and a snapshot of it, sending
a discard to a shared region of the thin could corrupt the snapshot.

Thinp uses a 2-level nested btree to store it's mappings.  This first
level is indexed by thin device, and the second level by logical
block.

Often when we're removing an entry in this mapping tree we need to
rebalance nodes, which can involve shadowing them, possibly creating a
copy if the block is shared.  If we do create a copy then children of
that node need to have their reference counts incremented.  In this
way reference counts percolate down the tree as shared trees diverge.

The rebalance functions were incrementing the children at the
appropriate time, but they were always assuming the children were
internal nodes.  This meant the leaf values (in our case packed
block/flags entries) were not being incremented.

dm snapshot: add missing module aliases

dm: fix truncated status strings

2013-03-20T15:03:20+00:00

commit fd7c092e711ebab55b2688d3859d95dfd0301f73 upstream.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

md: raid0: fix error return from create_stripe_zones.

2013-03-20T15:03:18+00:00

commit 58ebb34c49fcfcaa029e4b1c1453d92583900f9a upstream.

Create_stripe_zones returns an error slightly differently to
raid0_run and to raid0_takeover_*.

The error returned used by the second was wrong and an error would
result in mddev->private being set to NULL and sooner or later a
crash.

So never return NULL, return ERR_PTR(err), not NULL from
create_stripe_zones.

This bug has been present since 2.6.35 so the fix is suitable
for any kernel since then.

md: fix two bugs when attempting to resize RAID0 array.

2013-03-20T15:03:18+00:00

commit a64685399181780998281fe07309a94b25dd24c3 upstream.

You cannot resize a RAID0 array (in terms of making the devices
bigger), but the code doesn't entirely stop you.
So:

 disable setting of the available size on each device for
 RAID0 and Linear devices.  This must not change as doing so
 can change the effective layout of data.

 Make sure that the size that raid0_size() reports is accurate,
 but rounding devices sizes to chunk sizes.  As the device sizes
 cannot change now, this isn't so important, but it is best to be
 safe.

Without this change:
  mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -z max
  mdadm --grow /dev/md0 -Z max
  then read to the end of the array

can cause a BUG in a RAID0 array.

These bugs have been present ever since it became possible
to resize any device, which is a long time.  So the fix is
suitable for any -stable kerenl.

md: protect against crash upon fsync on ro array

2013-03-20T15:03:15+00:00

commit bbfa57c0f2243a7c31fd248d22e9861a2802cad5 upstream.

If an fsync occurs on a read-only array, we need to send a
completion for the IO and may not increment the active IO count.
Otherwise, we hit a bug trace and can't stop the MD array anymore.

By advice of Christoph Hellwig we return success upon a flush
request but we return -EROFS for other writes.
We detect flush requests by checking if the bio has zero sectors.

This patch is suitable to any -stable kernel to which it applies.

dm ioctl: prevent unsafe change to dm_ioctl data_size

2013-01-03T03:33:47+00:00

commit e910d7ebecd1aac43125944a8641b6cb1a0dfabe upstream.

Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter
after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer
from userspace.

The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence:
 1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params();
 2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the
    userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp";
 3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new
    structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole
    userspace buffer there;
 4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole
    buffer into the pointer "param";
 5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it
    in the variable "input_param_size";
 6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the
    kernel buffer.

The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user
memory between steps 2 and 4.  In particular, the data_size parameter
can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it.
This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory.

The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4.

This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.
