      block: convert to device_add_disk() · 0d52c756
      Dan Williams authored 
      
For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

    @@
    struct gendisk *disk;
    expression E;
    @@

    - disk->driverfs_dev = E;
    ...
    - add_disk(disk);
    + device_add_disk(E, disk);

    @@
    struct gendisk *disk;
    expression E1, E2;
    @@

    - disk->driverfs_dev = E1;
    ...
    E2 = disk;
    ...
    - add_disk(E2);
    + device_add_disk(E1, E2);

...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions.

      mtd: blkdevs: fix potential deadlock + lockdep warnings · f3c63795
      Brian Norris authored 
      
Commit 073db4a5 ("mtd: fix: avoid race condition when accessing
mtd->usecount") fixed a race condition but due to poor ordering of the
mutex acquisition, introduced a potential deadlock.

The deadlock can occur, for example, when rmmod'ing the m25p80 module, which
will delete one or more MTDs, along with any corresponding mtdblock
devices. This could potentially race with an acquisition of the block
device as follows.

 -> blktrans_open()
    ->  mutex_lock(&dev->lock);
    ->  mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex);

 -> del_mtd_device()
    ->  mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex);
    ->  blktrans_notify_remove() -> del_mtd_blktrans_dev()
       ->  mutex_lock(&dev->lock);

This is a classic (potential) ABBA deadlock, which can be fixed by
making the A->B ordering consistent everywhere. There was no real
purpose to the ordering in the original patch, AFAIR, so this shouldn't
be a problem. This ordering was actually already present in
del_mtd_blktrans_dev(), for one, where the function tried to ensure that
its caller already held mtd_table_mutex before it acquired &dev->lock:

        if (mutex_trylock(&mtd_table_mutex)) {
                mutex_unlock(&mtd_table_mutex);
                BUG();
        }

So, reverse the ordering of acquisition of &dev->lock and &mtd_table_mutex so
we always acquire mtd_table_mutex first.

      mtd: blktrans: fix multiplication overflow · 2ce401d5
      Peng Fan authored 
      
In drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c:
406	set_capacity(gd, (new->size * tr->blksize) >> 9);
The type of new->size is unsigned long and the type of tr->blksize is int,
the result of 'new->size * tr->blksize' may exceed ULONG_MAX on 32bit
machines.

I use nand chip MT29F32G08CBADBWP which is 4GB and the parameters passed
to kernel is 'mtdparts=gpmi-nand:-(user)', the whole nand chip will be
treated as a 4GB mtd partition. new->size is 0x800000 and tr->blksize is
0x200, 'new->size * tr->blksize' however is 0. This is what we do not want
to see.

Using type cast u64 to fix the multiplication overflow issue.

On A MIPS 32-cores machine a BUG_ON was triggered because some acesses to

Fixed by taking the mutex in blktrans_open and blktrans_release.

Note that this locking is already suggested in
include/linux/mtd/blktrans.h:

struct mtd_blktrans_ops {
...
	/* Called with mtd_table_mutex held; no race with add/remove */
	int (*open)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev);
	void (*release)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev);
...
};

But we weren't following it.

Originally reported by (and patched by) Zhang and Giuseppe,
independently. Improved and rewritten.

      block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices · b277da0a
      Mike Snitzer authored 
      
Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.

Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions.  But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
    - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
      are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
      should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
    - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices.  From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

      block: remove struct request buffer member · b4f42e28
      Jens Axboe authored 
      
This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

      mtd: mtd_blkdevs: don't increase 'open' count on error path · 342ff28f
      Brian Norris authored 
      
Some error paths in mtd_blkdevs were fixed in the following commit:

    commit 94735ec4
    mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open

But on these error paths, the block device's `dev->open' count is
already incremented before we check for errors. This meant that, while
the error path was handled correctly on the first time through
blktrans_open(), the device is erroneously considered already open on
the second time through.

This problem can be seen, for instance, when a UBI volume is
simultaneously mounted as a UBIFS partition and read through its
corresponding gluebi mtdblockX device. This results in blktrans_open()
passing its error checks (with `dev->open > 0') without actually having
a handle on the device. Here's a summarized log of the actions and
results with nandsim:

    # modprobe nandsim
    # modprobe mtdblock
    # modprobe gluebi
    # modprobe ubifs
    # ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 0
    ...
    # ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N test -s 16MiB
    ...
    # mount -t ubifs ubi0:test /mnt

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.
