    The if-block that sets a successful return value in aix_partition()
    uses 'lvip[].pps_per_lv' and 'n[].name' potentially uninitialized.

    For example, if 'numlvs' is zero or alloc_lvn() fails, neither is
    initialized, but are used anyway if alloc_pvd() succeeds after it.

    So, make the alloc_pvd() call conditional on their initialization.

    This has been hit when attaching an apparently corrupted/stressed
    AIX LUN, misleading the kernel to pr_warn() invalid data and hang.

  • commit 5f15684bd5e5ef39d4337988864fec8012471dda upstream.

    UFS partitions from newer versions of FreeBSD 10 and 11 use relative
    addressing for their subpartitions. But older versions of FreeBSD still
    use absolute addressing just like OpenBSD and NetBSD.

    Instead of simply testing for a FreeBSD partition, the code needs to
    also test if the starting offset of the C subpartition is zero.

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • If a GUID Partition Table claims to have more than 2**25 entries, the
    calculation of the partition table size in alloc_read_gpt_entries() will
    overflow a 32-bit integer and not enough space will be allocated for the
    table.

    Nothing seems to get written out of bounds, but later efi_partition() will
    read up to 32768 bytes from a 128 byte buffer, possibly OOPSing or exposing
    information to /proc/partitions and uevents.

    The problem exists on both 64-bit and 32-bit platforms.

    Fix the overflow and also print a meaningful debug message if the table
    size is too large.

  • For 4K LBA or very large disks, atari_partition can easily get tricked
    into thinking it has found an Atari partition table. Depending on the
    data in the disk, it ends up creating partitions with awkward lengths.

    We saw logs like this while playing with fio.

    [5.625867] nvme2n1: AHDI p2
    [5.625872] nvme2n1: p2 size 2910030523 extends beyond EOD, truncated

    People has had issues with misinterpreted AHDI partition tables for a long
    time, see this BSD thread from 1995, for example.

    https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-atari/1995/11/19/0001.html

    Since the atari partition, according to the spec, doesn't even support
    sector sizes with more than 512, a quick sanity check is reasonable to
    just bail out early, before even attempting to read sector 0.

    Can we just get rid of the warnings? It's fairly annoying as devices
    without partitions are perfectly fine and very useful.

    Me too I see this message every VM boot for ages on all my

  • The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
    case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics
    and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so
    strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper
    for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

    To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in
    the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
    s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

  • Use ARRAY_SIZE instead of sizeof to get proper max for label length.

    Since this is just a read out of bounds it's not that bad, but the
    problem becomes user-visible eg if one tries to use DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and
    DEBUG_RODATA, at least with some enhancements from Hiroshi. Of course
    the destination array can contain garbage when we read beyond the end of
    source array so that would be another user-visible problem.

  • In commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba")
    we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the
    0xEE (GPT protective) as errors.

    However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone
    uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk. Since
    this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working
    and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.

  • Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command
    line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name
    is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
    arg processing, when it really is block specific.

    Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
    prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
    is block specific.

    In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
    - help text was not really at all helpful.
    - index file for Documentation was not updated
    - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

  • Matt found that commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
    size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
    reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
    the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
    partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
    Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
    limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].

    Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
    or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
    other than these.

  • One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT
    systems. The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension,
    or variant, of the traditional protective mbr. This contains, apart from
    the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to
    the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions. The result is that
    legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time
    ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures.

    While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT
    standard, they do exist and we have no way around them. For instance, by
    default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting.

    In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made
    aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs. No functionality is changed by
    this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that
    is being used.

  • When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about
    the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems,
    it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1). This check,
    apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially
    fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems
    when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1].

    For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE
    partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT
    data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR.
    This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only
    partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of
    the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE
    partition's protection of GPT data structures.

    By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when
    probing for GPT disklabels.

  • The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct
    partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records. While this
    is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as
    msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such
    as GUID partition tables. Furthermore, these generic partition structures
    do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs.

    While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and
    cleaner to just replace the partition type. This patch adds a new
    'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the
    next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR,
    which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.
