<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

__blk_put_request() anymore, get rid of the underscore version and
convert the few callers.

The SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl has interesting scsi command
"security" checking.

If the file was opened read-only (but only in that case), it will
fetch the first byte of the command from user space, and do
"sg_allow_access()" on it.  That, in turn, will check that
"blk_verify_command()" is ok with that command byte.

If that passes, it will then do call "sg_scsi_ioctl()" to execute
the command.

This is entirely nonsensical for several reasons.

It's nonsensical simply because it's racy: after it copies the command
byte from user mode to check it, user mode could just change the byte
before it is actually submitted later by "sg_scsi_ioctl()".

But it is nonsensical also because "sg_scsi_ioctl()" itself already does
blk_verify_command() on the command properly after it has been copied
from user space.

So it is an incorrect implementation of a pointless check. Remove it.

As Al Viro noted in commit 128394eff343 ("sg_write()/bsg_write() is not fit
to be called under KERNEL_DS"), sg improperly accesses userspace memory
outside the provided buffer, permitting kernel memory corruption via
splice().  But it doesn't just do it on -&gt;write(), also on -&gt;read().

As a band-aid, make sure that the -&gt;read() and -&gt;write() handlers can not
be called in weird contexts (kernel context or credentials different from
file opener), like for ib_safe_file_access().

If someone needs to use these interfaces from different security contexts,
a new interface should be written that goes through the -&gt;ioctl() handler.

I've mostly copypasted ib_safe_file_access() over as sg_safe_file_access()
because I couldn't find a good common header - please tell me if you know a
better way.

commit a45b599ad808c ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in
sg_build_indirect()") changed the call to alloc_pages to always use
__GFP_ZERO.  Just above that, though, there was this:

       if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) || !capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO))
               gfp_mask |= __GFP_ZERO;

And there's only one user of the gfp_mask.  Just or in the __GFP_ZERO
flag at the top of the function and be done with it.
