commit bdac616db9bbadb90b7d6a406144571015e138f7 upstream.

Commit 2d1d4c1e591f made loop_get_status() drop lo_ctx_mutex before
returning, but the loop_get_status_old(), loop_get_status64(), and
loop_get_status_compat() wrappers don't call loop_get_status() if the
passed argument is NULL. The callers expect that the lock is dropped, so
make sure we drop it in that case, too.

commit 2d1d4c1e591fd40bd7dafd868a249d7d00e215d5 upstream.

We hit an issue where a loop device on NFS was stuck in
loop_get_status() doing vfs_getattr() after the NFS server died, which
caused a pile-up of uninterruptible processes waiting on lo_ctl_mutex.
There's no reason to hold this lock while we wait on the filesystem;
let's drop it so that other processes can do their thing. We need to
grab a reference on lo_backing_file while we use it, and we can get rid
of the check on lo_device, which has been unnecessary since commit
a34c0ae9ebd6 ("[PATCH] loop: remove the bio remapping capability") in
the linux-history tree.

commit 1e047eaab3bb5564f25b41e9cd3a053009f4e789 upstream.

syzbot is reporting deadlocks at __blkdev_get() [1].

<title>loop: Fix lost writes caused by missing flag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1d037577c323e5090ce281e96bc313ab2eee5be2</id>
<content type='text'>
The following commit:

commit aa4d86163e4e ("block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC")

replaced __do_lo_send_write(), which used ITER_KVEC iterators, with
lo_write_bvec() which uses ITER_BVEC iterators.  In this change, though,
the WRITE flag was lost:

-       iov_iter_kvec(&amp;from, ITER_KVEC | WRITE, &amp;kvec, 1, len);
+       iov_iter_bvec(&amp;i, ITER_BVEC, bvec, 1, bvec-&gt;bv_len);

This flag is necessary for the DAX case because we make decisions based on
whether or not the iterator is a READ or a WRITE in dax_iomap_actor() and
in dax_iomap_rw().

We end up going through this path in configurations where we combine a PMEM
device with 4k sectors, a loopback device and DAX.  The consequence of this
missed flag is that what we intend as a write actually turns into a read in
the DAX code, so no data is ever written.

The very simplest test case is to create a loopback device and try and
write a small string to it, then hexdump a few bytes of the device to see
if the write took.  Without this patch you read back all zeros, with this
you read back the string you wrote.

For XFS this causes us to fail or panic during the following xfstests:

	xfs/074 xfs/078 xfs/216 xfs/217 xfs/250

For ext4 we have a similar issue where writes never happen, but we don't
currently have any xfstests that use loopback and show this issue.

Fix this by restoring the WRITE flag argument to iov_iter_bvec().  This
causes the xfstests to all pass.

put_disk() is not it's counterpart.

范龙飞 reports that KASAN can report a use-after-free in __lock_acquire.
The reason is due to insufficient serialization in lo_release(), which
will continue to use the loop device even after it has decremented the
lo_refcnt to zero.

In the meantime, another process can come in, open the loop device
again as it is being shut down. Confusion ensues.

<content type='text'>
loop block device handles IO in a separate thread. The actual IO
dispatched isn't cloned from the IO loop device received, so the
dispatched IO loses the cgroup context.

I'm ignoring buffer IO case now, which is quite complicated.  Making the
loop thread aware cgroup context doesn't really help. The loop device
only writes to a single file. In current writeback cgroup
implementation, the file can only belong to one cgroup.

For direct IO case, we could workaround the issue in theory. For
example, say we assign cgroup1 5M/s BW for loop device and cgroup2
10M/s. We can create a special cgroup for loop thread and assign at
least 15M/s for the underlayer disk. In this way, we correctly throttle
the two cgroups. But this is tricky to setup.

This patch tries to address the issue. We record bio's css in loop
command. When loop thread is handling the command, we then use the API
provided in patch 1 to set the css for current task. The bio layer will
use the css for new IO (from patch 3).

Commit 6c6b6f28b333 ("loop: set physical block size to PAGE_SIZE")
caused mkfs.xfs to barf on ppc64 [1]. Always using PAGE_SIZE as the
physical block size still makes the most sense semantically, but let's
just lie and always set it to the same value as the logical block size
(same goes for io_min). In the future we might want to at least bump up
io_min to PAGE_SIZE but I'm sick of these stupid changes so let's play
it safe.
