block: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in blk_add_partition

2024-10-17T13:07:43Z

[ Upstream commit 26e197b7f9240a4ac301dd0ad520c0c697c2ea7d ] The blk_add_partition() function initially used a single if-condition (IS_ERR(part)) to check for errors when adding a partition. This was modified to handle the specific case of -ENXIO separately, allowing the function to proceed without logging the error in this case. However, this change unintentionally left a path where md_autodetect_dev() could be called without confirming that part is a valid pointer. This commit separates the error handling logic by splitting the initial if-condition, improving code readability and handling specific error scenarios explicitly. The function now distinguishes the general error case from -ENXIO without altering the existing behavior of md_autodetect_dev() calls.

block: print symbolic error name instead of error code

block: unhash blkdev part inode when the part is deleted

2022-12-08T10:23:59Z

v5.11 changes the blkdev lookup mechanism completely since commit 22ae8ce8b892 ("block: simplify bdev/disk lookup in blkdev_get"), and small part of the change is to unhash part bdev inode when deleting partition. Turns out this kind of change does fix one nasty issue in case of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR: 1) when one partition is deleted & closed, disk_put_part() is always called before bdput(bdev), see blkdev_put(); so the part's devt can be freed & re-used before the inode is dropped 2) then new partition with same devt can be created just before the inode in 1) is dropped, then the old inode/bdev structurein 1) is re-used for this new partition, this way causes use-after-free and kernel panic. It isn't possible to backport the whole big patchset of "merge struct block_device and struct hd_struct v4" for addressing this issue. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20201128161510.347752-1-hch@lst.de/ So fixes it by unhashing part bdev in delete_partition(), and this way is actually aligned with v5.11+'s behavior.

block: add a bdget_part helper

2020-10-05T16:38:33Z

All remaining callers of bdget() outside of fs/block_dev.c want to get a reference to the struct block_device for a given struct hd_struct. Add a helper just for that and then mark bdget static. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

mdadm relies on the fact that deleting an invalid partition returns -ENXIO or -ENOTTY to detect if a block device is a partition or a whole device.

block: fix locking for struct block_device size updates

2020-09-01T22:49:25Z

Two different callers use two different mutexes for updating the block device size, which obviously doesn't help to actually protect against concurrent updates from the different callers. In addition one of the locks, bd_mutex is rather prone to deadlocks with other parts of the block stack that use it for high level synchronization. Switch to using a new spinlock protecting just the size updates, as that is all we need, and make sure everyone does the update through the proper helper. This fixes a bug reported with the nvme revalidating disks during a hot removal operation, which can currently deadlock on bd_mutex.
