block: rename bi_bvec_done

2026-08-06T12:47:33+00:00

struct bvec_iter::bi_bvec_done is used an offset in the current bvec, let's rename it accordingly for better clarity. I also plan to use it for non-bvec based iteration in the future like dma-buf, so drop the "bvec" part.

dm-pcache: remove unused 'cache' parameter from cache_key_gc()

2026-07-28T09:08:37+00:00

The 'cache' parameter is never used in the function body, remove it. Signed-off-by: Jianyun Gao Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

dm-pcache: remove unused miss_read_end_work_fn declaration

2026-07-28T09:03:29+00:00

This function is declared but never defined or called anywhere. The miss read completion is handled via miss_read_end_req callback instead. Remove the orphan declaration. Signed-off-by: Jianyun Gao Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

dm-pcache: remove unused 'allocated' variable in cache_data_alloc()

2026-07-20T13:44:29+00:00

The 'allocated' variable is never non-zero when its value is consumed. 'to_alloc' was always equal to key->len, so replace them with key->len directly. Signed-off-by: Jianyun Gao Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

dm-pcache: replace tabs with spaces in comments to fix ASCII diagram alignment

2026-07-20T13:43:36+00:00

Some editors interpret tabs as 4 spaces while others use 2, causing ASCII art diagrams in comments to misalign and hurt readability. Replace tabs with spaces to ensure consistent display across all editors. Signed-off-by: Jianyun Gao Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

dm-pcache: fix use-after-free and invalid seg operations in kset_replay()

2026-07-20T13:37:46+00:00

In kset_replay, when key->seg_gen is stale (key->seg_gen < key->cache_pos.cache_seg->gen), cache_key_put(key) is called but then key->cache_pos.cache_seg is accessed as the argument to cache_seg_get(). This is a use-after-free on the freed key memory. Although mempool recycled memory is not immediately reclaimed or overwritten in practice, this is still a potential UAF bug. Additionally, for expired invalid keys, setting the cache->seg_map bit and calling cache_seg_get() is unreasonable since the corresponding segment data is no longer valid. Fix both issues by moving cache_seg_get() and __set_bit() after the gen check, so they only execute for valid keys, and using continue to skip invalid keys.

dm-pcache: fix implicit u8 truncation of gc_percent in message handler

2026-07-20T13:35:35+00:00

When setting gc_percent via message, kstrtoul parses the input into an unsigned long, which is then implicitly truncated to u8 when passed to pcache_cache_set_gc_percent(). For example, value 266 (0x10A) silently truncates to 10 (0x0A), successfully bypassing the > 90 upper bound check in pcache_cache_set_gc_percent(), and setting a different value than the user intended. Use kstrtou8 directly instead of kstrtoul, so that overflow values are properly rejected.

dm-pcache: only hand out initialized cache segments

2026-07-17T19:41:30+00:00

get_cache_segment() scans the segment map up to cache->n_segs, the physical device segment count, but cache_segs_init() only initializes the first cache_info->n_segs segments. A crafted image with cache_info->n_segs smaller than the device count leaves the remaining pcache_cache_segment structs zeroed (segment.data == NULL), and the allocator can hand one to cache_kset_close(), which writes through the returned segment's data pointer with no NULL check. Bound the allocator's search to cache_info->n_segs so only initialized segments are ever returned. A conforming cache sets n_segs equal to the device segment count, so this rejects nothing legitimate.

dm-pcache: validate the persisted dirty_tail chain at load

2026-07-17T19:41:20+00:00

The writeback worker follows the persisted dirty_tail chain, which is decoded from the cache device independently of the key_tail chain that cache_replay() walks and bounds. A crafted image, whose on-media fields are authenticated only by a crc32c with a fixed seed, can aim dirty_tail at a chain of last ksets that never terminates, so cache_writeback_fn() re-arms itself with no delay forever. Walk the dirty_tail chain once at load with the same hop cap cache_replay() uses and fail the table load with -EIO if it does not reach an end within n_segs hops.
