<title>scsi: core: Use scnprintf() for avoiding potential buffer overflow</title>

<id>81546b3273a13a23db86e099a66500824f876c12</id>
<content type='text'>
Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size instead of the actual
output size, the succeeding calls may go beyond the given buffer limit.
Fix it by replacing with scnprintf().

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: aacraid, ufs, zfcp,
  NCR5380, lpfc, qla2xxx, smartpqi, hisi_sas, target, mpt3sas, pm80xx
  plus a whole load of minor updates and fixes.

  The major core changes are Al Viro's reworking of sg's handling of
  copy to/from user, Ming Lei's removal of the host busy counter to
  avoid contention in the multiqueue case and Damien Le Moal's fixing of
  residual tracking across error handling"

Pull RCU and LKMM changes from Paul E. McKenney:

  - Documentation updates.

  - Miscellaneous fixes.

  - Dynamic tick (nohz) updates, perhaps most notably changes to
    force the tick on when needed due to lengthy in-kernel execution
    on CPUs on which RCU is waiting.

  - Replace rcu_swap_protected() with rcu_prepace_pointer().

  - Torture-test updates.

  - Linux-kernel memory consistency model updates.

We have a test case like block/001 in blktests, which will create a scsi
device by loading scsi_debug module and then try to delete the device by
sysfs interface. At the same time, it may remove the scsi_debug module.

And getting a invalid paging request BUG_ON as following:

During deleting scsi target, the scsi_debug module have been removed. Then,
sdebug_driver_template belonged to the module cannot be accessd, resulting
in scsi_proc_hostdir_rm() BUG_ON.

To fix the bug, we add scsi_device_get() in sdev_store_delete() to try to
increase refcount of module, avoiding the module been removed.

Rework from previous work by:
Sujit Reddy Thumma &lt;sthumma@codeaurora.org&gt;

Until now the scsi mid-layer forbids runtime suspend till userspace enables
it. This is mainly to quarantine some disks with broken runtime power
management or have high latencies executing suspend resume callbacks. If
the userspace doesn't enable the runtime suspend the underlying hardware
will be always on even when it is not doing any useful work and thus
wasting power.

Some low-level drivers for the controllers can efficiently use runtime
power management to reduce power consumption and improve battery life.
Allow runtime suspend parameters override within the LLD itself instead of
waiting for userspace to control the power management.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: qla2xxx, hpsa, lpfc, ufs,
  mpt3sas, ibmvscsi, megaraid_sas, bnx2fc and hisi_sas as well as the
  removal of the osst driver (I heard from Willem privately that he
  would like the driver removed because all his test hardware has
  failed). Plus number of minor changes, spelling fixes and other
  trivia.

  The big merge conflict this time around is the SPDX licence tags.
  Following discussion on linux-next, we believe our version to be more
  accurate than the one in the tree, so the resolution is to take our
  version for all the SPDX conflicts"

Note on the SPDX license tag conversion conflicts: the SCSI tree had
done its own SPDX conversion, which in some cases conflicted with the
treewide ones done by Thomas &amp; co.

In almost all cases, the conflicts were purely syntactic: the SCSI tree
used the old-style SPDX tags ("GPL-2.0" and "GPL-2.0+") while the
treewide conversion had used the new-style ones ("GPL-2.0-only" and
"GPL-2.0-or-later").

In these cases I picked the new-style one.

In a few cases, the SPDX conversion was actually different, though.  As
explained by James above, and in more detail in a pre-pull-request
thread:

 "The other problem is actually substantive: In the libsas code Luben
  Tuikov originally specified gpl 2.0 only by dint of stating:

  * This file is licensed under GPLv2.

  In all the libsas files, but then muddied the water by quoting GPLv2
  verbatim (which includes the or later than language). So for these
  files Christoph did the conversion to v2 only SPDX tags and Thomas
  converted to v2 or later tags"

So in those cases, where the spdx tag substantially mattered, I took the
SCSI tree conversion of it, but then also took the opportunity to turn
the old-style "GPL-2.0" into a new-style "GPL-2.0-only" tag.

Similarly, when there were whitespace differences or other differences
to the comments around the copyright notices, I took the version from
the SCSI tree as being the more specific conversion.

Finally, in the spdx conversions that had no conflicts (because the
treewide ones hadn't been done for those files), I just took the SCSI
tree version as-is, even if it was old-style.  The old-style conversions
are perfectly valid, even if the "-only" and "-or-later" versions are
perhaps more descriptive.

<title>scsi: Restrict user space SCSI device state changes to "running" and "offline"</title>
<updated>2019-06-20T19:37:02+00:00</updated>

<id>ac88c1f6730e73771dc36b9fd83804e7aa15941a</id>
<content type='text'>
The ability to modify the SCSI device state was introduced by commit
638127e579a4 ("[PATCH] Fix error handler offline behaviour"; v2.6.12). That
same commit introduced the following device states:

       { SDEV_CREATED, "created" },
       { SDEV_RUNNING, "running" },
       { SDEV_CANCEL,  "cancel"  },
       { SDEV_DEL,     "deleted" },
       { SDEV_QUIESCE, "quiesce" },
       { SDEV_OFFLINE, "offline" },

The SDEV_BLOCK state was introduced later to avoid that an FC cable pull
would immediately result in an I/O error (commit 1094e682310e; "[PATCH]
suspending I/Os to a device"; v2.6.12). That same patch introduced the
ability to set the SDEV_BLOCK state from user space. I'm not sure whether
that ability was introduced on purpose or accidentally.

Since there is agreement that only writing "running" or "offline" into
the SCSI sysfs device state attribute makes sense, restrict sysfs writes
to these values.

This patch makes sure that SDEV_BLOCK is only used for its original
purpose, namely to allow transport drivers and LLDs to block further
.queuecommand() calls while transport layer or adapter recovery is in
progress.

Note: a web search for "/sys/class/scsi_device" AND "device/state"
revealed several storage configuration guides. The instructions I found
in these guides tell users to write the value "running" or "offline" in
the SCSI device state sysfs attribute and no other values.
