  • In drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data() allocates a memory
    area with kmalloc in line 2885.

    2885 cgc->buffer = kmalloc(blocksize, GFP_KERNEL);
    2886 if (cgc->buffer == NULL)
    2887 return -ENOMEM;

    In line 2908 we can find the copy_to_user function:

    2908 if (!ret && copy_to_user(arg, cgc->buffer, blocksize))

    The cgc->buffer is never cleaned and initialized before this function.
    If ret = 0 with the previous basic block, it's possible to display some
    memory bytes in kernel space from userspace.

    When we read a block from the disk it normally fills the ->buffer but if
    the drive is malfunctioning there is a chance that it would only be
    partially filled. The result is an leak information to userspace.

  • CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
    markings need to be removed.

    This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
    __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

    Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
    in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

  • flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated
    and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().

    If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
    non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
    not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
    use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

    This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

  • The keeplocked variable in the cdrom driver is shared across multiple
    drives, but set in per-device ioctls. Move it to the per-device struct,
    avoiding that the setting on one drive affects the driver's behavior
    when closing another.

    [ Impact: limit udev's confusion to one drive when a CD burning program
    unlocks the CD door at the end of burning. ]

    on 32 bit systems. That would have been ok if we used the same wrapped
    value for the copy, but we use a shifted value. We should just use the

    legacy/fringe drivers")

    - 7eec77a1816a ("ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd
    and ide-cd")

    because of conflicts with the "g->flags" updates near-by by commit
    d4dc210f69bc ("block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical
    devices")

    As a result, we re-introduced the hanging behavior due to infinite disk
    media change reports.

  • Since for-2.6.40/core was forked off the 2.6.39 devel tree, we've
    had churn in the core area that makes it difficult to handle
    patches for eg cfq or blk-throttle. Instead of requiring that they
    be based in older versions with bugs that have been fixed later
    in the rc cycle, merge in 2.6.39 final.

    Also fixes up conflicts in the below files.

  • cdrom_open() called check_disk_change() after the rest of open path
    succeeded which leads to the following bizarre behavior.

    * After media change, if the device opened without O_NONBLOCK,
    open_for_data() naturally fails with -ENOMEDIA and
    check_disk_change() is never called. The media is known to be gone
    and the open failure makes it obvious to the userland but device
    invalidation never happens.

    * But if the device is opened with O_NONBLOCK, all the checks are
    bypassed and cdrom_open() doesn't notice that the media is not there
    and check_disk_change() is called and invalidation happens.

    There's nothing to be gained by avoiding calling check_disk_change()
    on open failure. Common cases end up calling check_disk_change()
    anyway. All we get is inconsistent behavior.

    Fix it by moving check_disk_change() invocation to the top of
    cdrom_open() so that it always gets called regardless of how the rest
    of open proceeds.

  • In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
    and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation
    generates events on level condition instead of edge.

    Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
    simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
    internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
    interactions with userland event handler.

  • Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write. This is
    primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
    progress. This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
    removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
    effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.

    This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
    behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

  • Commit 93aae17af1172c40c6f74b7294e93a90c3cfaa5d ("sr: implement
    sr_check_events()") replaced the media_changed op with the
    check_events op in drivers/scsi/sr.c

    All users that check for the CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED capbility try both
    the check_events op and the media_changed op, but register_cdrom()
    was requiring media_changed.

    This patch fixes the capability checking.

    The cdrom_select_disc ioctl is also using the two operations, so
    they should be required for CDC_SELECT_DISC too.

  • In principle, cdrom just needs to pass through ->check_events() but
    CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl makes things a bit more complex. Just as
    with ->media_changed() support, cdrom code needs to buffer the events
    and serve them to ioctl and vfs as requested.

    As the code has to deal with both ->check_events() and
    ->media_changed(), and vfs and ioctl event buffering, this patch adds
    check_events caching on top of the existing cdi->mc_flags buffering.

    It may be a good idea to deprecate CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl and
    remove all this mess.

  • The open and release block_device_operations are currently
    called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
    first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
    on this have no regressions.

    This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
    operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
    next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
    with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
    be shown that it is not needed.

    The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
    remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
    layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
    of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

    Most of these two functions is also under the protection
    of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
    ->open and ->release, and the common code does not
    access any global data structures that need the BKL.
