block: Always check length of all iov entries in blk_rq_map_user_iov()

2011-11-21T22:31:26Z

commit 6b76106d8ef31111d6fc469564b83b5f5542794f upstream. Even after commit 5478755616ae2ef1ce144dded589b62b2a50d575 ("block: check for proper length of iov entries earlier ...") we still won't check for zero-length entries after an unaligned entry. Remove the break-statement, so all entries are checked. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

block: make gendisk hold a reference to its queue

2011-11-11T17:37:07Z

commit f992ae801a7dec34a4ed99a6598bbbbfb82af4fb upstream. The following command sequence triggers an oops. # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt # echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:1\:0/device/delete # umount /mnt general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 791, comm: umount Not tainted 3.1.0-rc3-work+ #8 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[] [] __lock_acquire+0x389/0x1d60 ...

If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

block: Free queue resources at blk_release_queue()

2011-10-03T18:41:13Z

commit 777eb1bf15b8532c396821774bf6451e563438f5 upstream. A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(), Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

blk-cgroup: be able to remove the record of unplugged device

2011-10-03T18:40:42Z

commit d11bb4462c4cc6ddd45c6927c617ad79fa6fb8fc upstream. The bug is we're not able to remove the device from blkio cgroup's per-device control files if it gets unplugged. To reproduce the bug: # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup # cd /cgroup # echo "8:0 1000" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device # unplug the device # cat blkio.throttle.read_bps_device 8:0 1000 # echo "8:0 0" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device -bash: echo: write error: No such device After patching, the device removal will succeed.

fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()

2011-08-05T04:58:36Z

commit bfe159a51203c15d23cb3158fffdc25ec4b4dda1 upstream. USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD followed by attempted unmount. The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be sent to a dead queue. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cfq-iosched: make code consistent

block: make disk_block_events() properly wait for work cancellation

2011-06-09T18:43:59Z

disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further cancellations. Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could happen after return. This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 Fix it by adding an outer mutex which protects both block count manipulation and work cancellation. -v2: Use outer mutex instead of bit waitqueue per Linus.

block: remove non-syncing __disk_block_events() and fold it into disk_block_events()

2011-06-09T18:43:55Z

After the previous update to disk_check_events(), nobody is using non-syncing __disk_block_events(). Remove @sync and, as this makes __disk_block_events() virtually identical to disk_block_events(), remove the underscore prefixed version.
