[ Upstream commit f49d0c3a8d56a7cda1628ae17341a4a42063563c ]

__nvme_fc_init_request() maps cmd_iu and then rsp_iu for DMA. If the
rsp_iu mapping fails, the original code only recorded the error and fell
through: it left the already-mapped cmd_iu unmapped and still marked the
op as FCPOP_STATE_IDLE before returning. Since blk-mq does not call
.exit_request() when .init_request() fails, the cmd_iu mapping is leaked
for every op whose rsp_iu mapping fails.

Jump to an error path on rsp_iu mapping failure that unmaps cmd_iu and
returns the error without marking the op idle, so it stays in the
FCPOP_STATE_UNINIT state set by the initial memset().

<title>nvme-tcp: check the data direction of a C2HData PDU</title>

<id>urn:sha1:980d990f3c0560d7dfbfbf14699651fdf02f26ee</id>

commit f83af377c148f6ad94b41c0e8313f12adf45e1c1 upstream.

nvme_tcp_handle_c2h_data() finds the request by command id and checks
that it has a payload, but it does not check that the command asked for
data to be read.  A controller that answers a write command with C2HData
therefore reaches nvme_tcp_recv_data(), where _copy_to_iter() hits
WARN_ON_ONCE(i-&gt;data_source) and returns 0.  The receive path turns that
into -EFAULT and resets the controller.

No data is copied, so this is not memory corruption.  What a controller
gets is a kernel warning it can raise at will, which is fatal on a host
booted with panic_on_warn.

The send path already knows the direction - it consults rq_data_dir()
when it builds a command - and nvme_tcp_handle_r2t() checks the length
and the offset of the request it names.  The C2HData path does not check
the direction at all.

Reject a C2HData PDU whose command is not a read.  Rejecting it fails
the command and resets the controller, as the neighbouring check in this
function does; what goes away is the warning.

commit 7fa3f73f6c8ddc5f0425b50fb2a626a782ef7d12 upstream.

nvme_tcp_recv_data() completes a request once the current C2HData PDU
has been consumed. Nothing compares the total bytes received against
the length the command asked for: struct nvme_tcp_request has no
receive-side counter, queue-&gt;data_remaining is per queue, and
blk_mq_end_request() completes for blk_rq_bytes(rq) unconditionally
with no residual concept anywhere above.

A controller can therefore answer a 4096-byte read with 512 bytes and
have it reported as a complete read; user space then gets 4096 bytes of
which 3584 are whatever was already in the page. I reproduced that with
a test target.

Count the bytes received and refuse to complete a successful read whose
count does not match, at the two NVME_TCP_F_DATA_SUCCESS paths and in
nvme_tcp_process_nvme_cqe(). The success test shifts req-&gt;status right
by one, because the driver keeps the wire value there and shifts it on
completion, so the check must see what the completion path will see.
Only REQ_OP_READ is checked, because there the length comes from the
sectors the request covers; a passthrough command is built by its
submitter, which picks both command and buffer, so the kernel has
nothing to compare against.

commit 3a4aa9e6ad3e35f8e24d5eaf38ee4d437075fb36 upstream.

Commit 25e5cb780e62 ("nvme-tcp: fix possible crash in write_zeroes
processing") established that blk_rq_payload_bytes() must not be read
without first checking blk_rq_nr_phys_segments(), and recorded the
result in nvme_tcp_setup_cmd_pdu() as req-&gt;data_len. The receive side
was left as it was.

The two differ for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, which has no physical segments
but a non-zero blk_rq_bytes(), so setup leaves req-&gt;iter untouched
while the receive gate lets a C2HData through and nvme_tcp_recv_data()
copies into whatever the previous command on that tag left there. The
driver-private area is zeroed only when the tag set is allocated.

Reproduced with a test target that leaves a residual iterator on a tag
and then sends a C2HData for a WRITE_ZEROES command on the same tag:

Keep the blk_rq_payload_bytes() test and add req-&gt;data_len to it. The
old test is what rejects a C2HData naming a tag that is no longer in
flight, because blk_update_request() zeroes rq-&gt;__data_len on
completion; req-&gt;data_len and req-&gt;curr_bio are driver-private and
survive completion, so they cannot stand in for it. Setup initialises
the iterator only when both req-&gt;curr_bio and req-&gt;data_len are set, so
the gate now tests the same two.

commit bededeaaeff404978a5a8e2a605a6c3017cddd3e upstream.

nvme_setup_discard() always maps sizeof(struct nvme_dsm_range) *
NVME_DSM_MAX_RANGES = 4096 bytes as the DSM payload however many ranges
the command declares, because some devices ignore the 'Number of Ranges'
field - the Fixes: commit records two that read past the declared ranges.
A single-range discard fills only the first 16 bytes.

Normally the buffer comes from kzalloc() and the other 4080 bytes are
zero.  When that allocation fails the code falls back to the
per-controller ctrl-&gt;discard_page, which nvme_init_ctrl() obtains with
alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL) and nothing ever zeroes, so those 4080 bytes are
whatever the page last held and are handed to the controller.  Reaching
it requires the kzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN) to fail, that is
memory pressure; it is not remotely triggerable.  Failing the allocation
under KMSAN reproduces it, with the leaked tail full of vmemmap struct
page pointers.  The extent in the report is a partial transfer of the
payload, not the whole 4096 bytes; the 16-byte boundary in it is the one
declared range:

commit 22eb631bf86ee3246f47885e4fa94154a46863e4 upstream.

nvme_fc_create_hw_io_queues() will call __nvme_fc_delete_hw_queue() for the
last queue on which __nvme_fc_create_hw_queue() reported an error when deleting
all the io queues if they cannot all be created.  This is incorrect since the
last queue did not actually get created.

The most recent change to this code was commit 17a1ec08ce70 ("nvme/fc: simplify
error handling of nvme_fc_create_hw_io_queues") which moved the cleanup to the
delete_queues: label and changed the loop bounds, however the code was not
correct prior to this change in a different way.  The original commit
e399441de911 ("nvme-fabrics: Add host support for FC transport") had a
different error which called __nvme_fc_delete_hw_queue() on queue index 0 which
is used for the admin queue.

Fix this by correcting the initial loop index when deleting the io queues.

[ Upstream commit dd0b0a4a2c5d7209457dc172997d1243ad269cfa ]

CDR/MORE/DNR fields are not belonging to SC in the NVMe spec, rename
them to NVME_STATUS_* to avoid confusion.

<title>nvme-multipath: fix flex array size in struct nvme_ns_head</title>

<id>urn:sha1:316b5f1168264844aa125959de1d6da2b1905795</id>

[ Upstream commit 001e57554de81aa79c25c18fd53911d8a415c304 ]

struct nvme_ns_head contains a flexible array member, current_path[],
which is indexed using the NUMA node ID:
head-&gt;current_path[numa_node_id()]

The structure is currently allocated as:
size = sizeof(struct nvme_ns_head) +
       (num_possible_nodes() * sizeof(struct nvme_ns *));
head = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);

This allocation assumes that NUMA node IDs are sequential and densely
packed from 0 .. num_possible_nodes() - 1. While this assumption holds
on many systems, it is not always true on some architectures such as
powerpc.

On some powerpc systems, NUMA node IDs can be sparse. For example:
NUMA:
  NUMA node(s):              6
  NUMA node0 CPU(s):         80-159
  NUMA node8 CPU(s):         0-79
  NUMA node252 CPU(s):
  NUMA node253 CPU(s):
  NUMA node254 CPU(s):
  NUMA node255 CPU(s):

That is, the possible/online NUMA node IDs are: 0, 8, 252, 253, 254, 255
In this case: num_possible_nodes() = 6

So memory is allocated for only 6 entries in current_path[]. However,
the array is later indexed using the actual NUMA node ID. As a result,
accesses such as:
head-&gt;current_path[8] or
head-&gt;current_path[252]
goes out of bounds, leading to the following KASAN splat:

==================================================================

Fix this by allocating the flexible array using nr_node_ids instead
of num_possible_nodes(). Since nr_node_ids represents the maximum
possible NUMA node IDs, indexing current_path[] using numa_node_id()
becomes safe even on systems with sparse node IDs.

<title>nvme-multipath: set BIO_REMAPPED on bios remapped to per-path namespace disks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f221e79018e4bd780df58caa0d684750c00bead4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 88bac2c1a72b8f4f71e9845699aa872df04e5850 upstream.

When nvme_ns_head_submit_bio() remaps a bio from the multipath head to a
per-path namespace, bio_set_dev() clears BIO_REMAPPED.  The remapped bio
is then resubmitted through submit_bio_noacct() which calls
bio_check_eod() because BIO_REMAPPED is not set.

This races with nvme_ns_remove() which zeroes the per-path capacity
before synchronize_srcu():

  CPU 0 (IO submission)
  ---------------------
  srcu_read_lock()
  nvme_find_path() -&gt; ns
    [NVME_NS_READY is set]

  CPU 1 (namespace removal)
  -------------------------
  clear_bit(NVME_NS_READY)
  set_capacity(ns-&gt;disk, 0)
  synchronize_srcu()  &lt;- blocks

  CPU 0 (IO submission)
  ---------------------
  bio_set_dev(bio, ns-&gt;disk-&gt;part0)
    [clears BIO_REMAPPED]
  submit_bio_noacct(bio)
    -&gt; bio_check_eod() sees capacity=0
    -&gt; bio fails with IO error

The SRCU read lock prevents synchronize_srcu() from completing, but does
not prevent set_capacity(0) from executing.  The bio fails the EOD check
before it reaches the NVMe driver, so nvme_failover_req() never gets a
chance to redirect it to another path of multipath.  IO errors are
reported to the application despite another path being available.

On older kernels (before commit 0b64682e78f7 "block: skip unnecessary
checks for split bio"), the same race was also reachable through split
remainders resubmitted via submit_bio_noacct().

Fix this by setting BIO_REMAPPED after bio_set_dev() in
nvme_ns_head_submit_bio().  This skips bio_check_eod() on the per-path
device; the EOD check already passed on the multipath head.

NVMe per-path namespace devices are always whole disks (bd_partno=0), so
the blk_partition_remap() skip also gated by BIO_REMAPPED is a no-op.
The flag does not persist across failover and cannot go stale if the
namespace geometry changes between attempts: nvme_failover_req() calls
bio_set_dev() to redirect the bio back to the multipath head, which
clears BIO_REMAPPED.  When nvme_requeue_work() resubmits through
submit_bio_noacct(), bio_check_eod() runs normally against the current
capacity.

Same approach as commit 3a905c37c351 ("block: skip bio_check_eod for
partition-remapped bios").

[ Upstream commit de4eda9de2d957ef2d6a8365a01e26a435e958cb ]

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...
