Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Thorsten BlumandJens Axboe e1418af766 brd: replace simple_strtol with kstrtoul in ramdisk_size
Replace simple_strtol() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the
'ramdisk_size=' boot parameter. Unlike simple_strtol(), which returns a
long, kstrtoul() converts the string directly to an unsigned long and
avoids implicit casting.

Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values. This
adds error handling while preserving behavior for existing values, and
removes use of the deprecated simple_strtol() helper. The current code
silently sets 'rd_size = 0' if parsing fails, instead of leaving the
default value (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE) unchanged.

Yu KuaiandJens Axboe 2a06145228 brd: use page reference to protect page lifetime
As discussed [1], hold rcu for copying data from/to page is too heavy,
it's better to protect page with rcu around for page lookup and then
grab a reference to prevent page to be freed by discard.

Yu KuaiandJens Axboe 0d519bb0de brd: fix sleeping function called from invalid context in brd_insert_page()
__xa_cmpxchg() is called with rcu_read_lock(), and it will allocate
memory if necessary.

Fix the problem by moving rcu_read_lock() after __xa_cmpxchg(), meanwhile,
it still should be held before xa_unlock(), prevent returned page to be
freed by concurrent discard.

Christoph HellwigandJens Axboe bbcacab2e8 brd: avoid extra xarray lookups on first write
The xarray can return the previous entry at a location.  Use this
fact to simplify the brd code when there is no existing page at
a location.  This also slighly improves the handling of racy
discards as we now always have a page under RCU protection by the
time we are ready to copy the data.

Yu KuaiandJens Axboe a26a339a65 brd: fix discard end sector
brd_do_discard() just aligned start sector to page, this can only work
if the discard size if at least one page. For example:

blkdiscard /dev/ram0 -o 5120 -l 1024

In this case, size = (1024 - (8192 - 5120)), which is a huge value.

Fix the problem by round_down() the end sector.

Yu KuaiandJens Axboe 0e8acffc1b brd: protect page with rcu
Currently, after fetching the page by xa_load() in IO path, there is no
protection and page can be freed concurrently by discard:

cpu0
brd_submit_bio
 brd_do_bvec
  page = brd_lookup_page
                          cpu1
                          brd_submit_bio
                           brd_do_discard
                            page = __xa_erase()
                            __free_page()
  // page UAF

Fix the problem by protecting page with rcu.

Meanwhile, if page is already freed, also prevent BUG_ON() by skipping
the write, and user will get zero data later if there is no page.

For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change.  There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).

The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.
