<content type='text'>
Several bug reports have been received recently for USB mass-storage
devices that don't handle READ CAPACITY(16) commands properly.  They
report bogus sizes, in some cases becoming unusable as a result.

The bugs were triggered by commit
09b6b51b0b6c1b9bb61815baf205e4d74c89ff04 (SCSI &amp; usb-storage: add
flags for VPD pages and REPORT LUNS), which caused usb-storage to stop
overriding the SCSI level reported by devices.  By default, the sd
driver will try READ CAPACITY(16) first for any device whose level is
above SCSI_SPC_2.

It seems likely that any device large enough to require the use of
READ CAPACITY(16) (i.e., 2 TB or more) would be able to handle READ
CAPACITY(10) commands properly.  Indeed, I don't know of any devices
that don't handle READ CAPACITY(10) properly.

Therefore this patch (as1559) adds a new flag telling the sd driver
to try READ CAPACITY(10) before READ CAPACITY(16), and sets this flag
for every USB mass-storage device.  If a device really is larger than
2 TB, sd will fall back to READ CAPACITY(16) just as it used to.

This fixes Bugzilla #43391.

sd injects and synchronizes probe work on the global kernel-wide domain.
This runs into conflict with PM that wants to perform resume actions in
async context:

Provide a 'scsi_sd_probe_domain' so that async probe actions actions can
be flushed without regard for the state of PM, and allow for the resume
path to handle devices that have transitioned from SDEV_QUIESCE to
SDEV_DEL prior to resume.

The sd_check_event() will be called periodly even when the device is in the
suspended status to check media event. The scsi_test_unit_ready() in the
sd_check_event() will issue scsi cmd request. Issuing scsi request when the
device is in the suspeneded status will cause problem. For example, when a usb
flash disk in the suspended status, scsi_test_unit_ready() issues a scsi
request. The request will be returned as failed because the usb device is not
active. The patch adds scsi_autopm_get_device() and scsi_autopm_put_device()
around scsi_test_unit_ready() in the sd_check_event() to resolve such problem.

<content type='text'>
We have experienced several devices which fail in a fashion we do not
currently handle gracefully in SCSI. After a failure these devices will
respond to the SCSI primary command set (INQUIRY, TEST UNIT READY, etc.)
but any command accessing the storage medium will time out.

The following patch adds an callback that can be used by upper level
drivers to inspect the results of an error handling command. This in
turn has been used to implement additional checking in the SCSI disk
driver.

If a medium access command fails twice but TEST UNIT READY succeeds both
times in the subsequent error handling we will offline the device. The
maximum number of failed commands required to take a device offline can
be tweaked in sysfs.

Also add a new error flag to scsi_debug which allows this scenario to be
easily reproduced.

<title>SCSI &amp; usb-storage: add flags for VPD pages and REPORT LUNS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:09b6b51b0b6c1b9bb61815baf205e4d74c89ff04</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch (as1507) adds a skip_vpd_pages flag to struct scsi_device
and a no_report_luns flag to struct scsi_target.  The first is used to
control whether sd will look at VPD pages for information on block
provisioning, limits, and characteristics.  The second prevents
scsi_report_lun_scan() from issuing a REPORT LUNS command.

The patch also modifies usb-storage to set the new flag bits for all
USB devices and targets, and to stop adjusting the scsi_level value.

Historically we have seen that USB mass-storage devices often don't
support VPD pages or REPORT LUNS properly.  Until now we have avoided
these things by setting the scsi_level to SCSI_2 for all USB devices.
But this has the side effect of storing the LUN bits into the second
byte of each CDB, and now we have a report of a device which doesn't
like that.  The best solution is to stop abusing scsi_level and
instead have separate flags for VPD pages and REPORT LUNS.

<title>block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0bfc96cb77224736dfa35c3c555d37b3646ef35e</id>
<content type='text'>
Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device.  This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.

This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent.  In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice.  Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities.  However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls.  Their actions will still be logged.

This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver.  That driver
however already tests for bd != bd-&gt;bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
