The WRITE_SAME commands are not present in the blk_default_cmd_filter
write_ok list, and thus are failed with -EPERM when the SG_IO ioctl()
is executed without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users).
[ sg_io() -> blk_fill_sghdr_rq() > blk_verify_command() -> -EPERM ]
The problem can be reproduced with the sg_write_same command
# sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda
#
# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
Write same: pass through os error: Operation not permitted
#
For comparison, the WRITE_VERIFY command does not observe this problem,
since it is in that list:
# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
'sg_write_verify --num 1 --ilen 512 --lba 0 /dev/sda'
#
So, this patch adds the WRITE_SAME commands to the list, in order
for the SG_IO ioctl to finish successfully:
# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
#
That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2]),
which employs the SG_IO ioctl() and runs as an unprivileged user (libvirt-qemu).
In that scenario, when a filesystem (e.g., ext4) performs its zero-out calls,
which are translated to write-same calls in the guest kernel, and then into
SG_IO ioctls to the host kernel, SCSI I/O errors may be observed in the guest:
[...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

After the SG_IO ioctl was copied into the block layer and
later into the bsg driver, subtle differences emerged.
One difference is the way injected commands are queued through
the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA
NCQ). Summarizing:
- SG_IO on block layer device: blk_exec*(at_head=false)
- sg device SG_IO: at_head=true
- bsg device SG_IO: at_head=true
Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called
BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default. A
recent patch titled: "sg: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag"
allowed the sg driver default to be overridden. This patch
allows a SG_IO ioctl sent to a block layer device to have
its default overridden.
ChangeLog:
- introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD flag in sg.h to cause
commands that are injected via a block layer
device SG_IO ioctl to set at_head=true
- make comments clearer about queueing in sg.h since the
header is used both by the sg device and block layer
device implementations of the SG_IO ioctl.
- introduce BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD in bsg.h for compatibility
(it does nothing) and update comments.

Sometimes, warnings about ioctls to partition happen often enough that they
form majority of the warnings in the kernel log and users complain. In some
cases warnings are about ioctls such as SG_IO so it's not good to get rid of
the warnings completely as they can ease debugging of userspace problems
when ioctl is refused.
Since I have seen warnings from lots of commands, including some proprietary
userspace applications, I don't think disallowing the ioctls for processes
with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will happen in the near future if ever. So lets just
stop warning for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO for which ioctl is allowed.

Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.
This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.
In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls. Their actions will still be logged.
This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver
however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and throtl_get_tg() are
completely bogus. The caller must have a reference to the queue on
entry and taking an extra reference doesn't change anything.
For scsi_cmd_ioctl(), the only effect is that it ends up checking
QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD on entry; however, this is bogus as queue can die
right after blk_get_queue(). Dead queue should be and is handled in
request issue path (it's somewhat broken now but that's a separate
problem and doesn't affect this one much).
throtl_get_tg() incorrectly assumes that q is rcu freed. Also, it
doesn't check return value of blk_get_queue(). If the queue is
already dead, it ends up doing an extra put.

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.
First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.
Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

I have another request for the block filter SG_IO command whitelist,
specifically the MMC streaming command set SET READ AHEAD command.
The command applies only to MMC CDROM/DVDROM drives with the streaming
optional feature set. The command is useful to cdparanoia in that it
allows explicit cache control side effects that are, on many drives,
cdparanoia's most efficient way to flush/disable the media cache on
cdrom drives. I am aware of no reason why it should not be accessible
from usespace.
Also note that the command is already fully accessible through the
SCSI-native version of the SG_IO ioctl as well as the traditional SG
interface. The command is only being refused on block devices. That
means that on a typical stock distro, the command is available through
/dev/sg* but not /dev/scd* although both are typically available and
accessible. Filtering the command is not providing any protection,
only a confusing inconsistency.

cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block
devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI
character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them.
The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct
blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only
SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev
leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter
isn't safe.
SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be
independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their
gendisk.
This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to
request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to.
The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via
/sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter
code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.
