2020-09-01block: release disk reference in hd_struct_free_workMing Lei
Commit e8c7d14ac6c3 ("block: revert back to synchronous request_queue removal") stops to release request queue from wq context because that commit supposed all blk_put_queue() is called in context which is allowed to sleep. However, this assumption isn't true because we release disk's reference in partition's percpu_ref's ->release() which doesn't allow to sleep, because the ->release() is run via call_rcu().

2020-07-15block: always remove partitions from blk_drop_partitions()Ming Lei
In theory, when GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN is set, no partitions can be created on one disk. However, ioctl(BLKPG, BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION) doesn't check GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN, so partitions still can be added even though GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN is set. So far blk_drop_partitions() only removes partitions when disk_part_scan_enabled() return true. This way can make ghost partition on loop device after changing/clearing FD in case that PARTSCAN is disabled, such as partitions can be added via 'parted' on loop disk even though GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN is set. Fix this issue by always removing partitions in blk_drop_partitions(), and this way is correct because the current code supposes that no partitions can be added in case of GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN.

2020-05-12block: fix use-after-free on cached last_lookup partitionMing Lei
delete_partition() clears the cached last_lookup partition. However the .last_lookup cache may be overwritten by one IO path after it is cleared from delete_partition(). Then another IO path may use the cached deleting partition after hd_struct_free() is called, then use-after-free is triggered on the cached partition. Fixes the issue by the following approach: 1) always get the partition's refcount via hd_struct_try_get() before setting .last_lookup 2) move clearing .last_lookup from delete_partition() to hd_struct_free() which is the release handle of the partition's percpu-refcount, so that no IO path can cache deleteing partition via .last_lookup. It is one candidate approach of Yufen's patch[1] which adds overhead in fast path by indirect lookup which may introduce one extra cacheline in IO path. Also this patch relies on percpu-refcount's protection, and it is easier to understand and verify.

2020-04-30block: remove the bd_openers checks in blk_drop_partitionsChristoph Hellwig
When replacing the bd_super check with a bd_openers I followed a logical conclusion, which turns out to be utterly wrong. When a block device has bd_super sets it has a mount file system on it (although not every mounted file system sets bd_super), but that also implies it doesn't even have partitions to start with. So instead of trying to come up with a logical check for all openers, just remove the check entirely.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar: "The EFI changes in this cycle are much larger than usual, for two (positive) reasons: - The GRUB project is showing signs of life again, resulting in the introduction of the generic Linux/UEFI boot protocol, instead of x86 specific hacks which are increasingly difficult to maintain. There's hope that all future extensions will now go through that boot protocol. - Preparatory work for RISC-V EFI support. The main changes are: - Boot time GDT handling changes - Simplify handling of EFI properties table on arm64 - Generic EFI stub cleanups, to improve command line handling, file I/O, memory allocation, etc. - Introduce a generic initrd loading method based on calling back into the firmware, instead of relying on the x86 EFI handover protocol or device tree. - Introduce a mixed mode boot method that does not rely on the x86 EFI handover protocol either, and could potentially be adopted by other architectures (if another one ever surfaces where one execution mode is a superset of another) - Clean up the contents of 'struct efi', and move out everything that doesn't need to be stored there. - Incorporate support for UEFI spec v2.8A changes that permit firmware implementations to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED from UEFI runtime services at OS runtime, and expose a mask of which ones are supported or unsupported via a configuration table. - Partial fix for the lack of by-VA cache maintenance in the decompressor on 32-bit ARM. - Changes to load device firmware from EFI boot service memory regions - Various documentation updates and minor code cleanups and fixes" * 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (114 commits) efi/libstub/arm: Fix spurious message that an initrd was loaded efi/libstub/arm64: Avoid image_base value from efi_loaded_image partitions/efi: Fix partition name parsing in GUID partition entry efi/x86: Fix cast of image argument efi/libstub/x86: Use ULONG_MAX as upper bound for all allocations efi: Fix a mistype in comments mentioning efivar_entry_iter_begin() efi/libstub: Avoid linking libstub/lib-ksyms.o into vmlinux efi/x86: Preserve %ebx correctly in efi_set_virtual_address_map() efi/x86: Ignore the memory attributes table on i386 efi/x86: Don't relocate the kernel unless necessary efi/x86: Remove extra headroom for setup block efi/x86: Add kernel preferred address to PE header efi/x86: Decompress at start of PE image load address x86/boot/compressed/32: Save the output address instead of recalculating it efi/libstub/x86: Deal with exit() boot service returning x86/boot: Use unsigned comparison for addresses efi/x86: Avoid using code32_start efi/x86: Make efi32_pe_entry() more readable efi/x86: Respect 32-bit ABI in efi32_pe_entry() efi/x86: Annotate the LOADED_IMAGE_PROTOCOL_GUID with SYM_DATA ...

2018-07-27partitions/aix: append null character to print data from diskMauricio Faria de Oliveira
Even if properly initialized, the lvname array (i.e., strings) is read from disk, and might contain corrupt data (e.g., lack the null terminating character for strings). So, make sure the partition name string used in pr_warn() has the null terminating character. Fixes: 6ceea22bbbc8 ("partitions: add aix lvm partition support files") Suggested-by: Daniel J.

2018-07-27partitions/aix: fix usage of uninitialized lv_info and lvname structuresMauricio Faria de Oliveira
The if-block that sets a successful return value in aix_partition() uses 'lvip[].pps_per_lv' and 'n[].name' potentially uninitialized. For example, if 'numlvs' is zero or alloc_lvn() fails, neither is initialized, but are used anyway if alloc_pvd() succeeds after it. So, make the alloc_pvd() call conditional on their initialization. This has been hit when attaching an apparently corrupted/stressed AIX LUN, misleading the kernel to pr_warn() invalid data and hang.
