In the raid1_reshape function, newpool is
allocated on the stack and assigned to conf->r1bio_pool.
This results in conf->r1bio_pool.wait.head pointing
to a stack address.
Accessing this address later can lead to a kernel panic.
Example access path:
raid1_reshape()
{
// newpool is on the stack
mempool_t newpool, oldpool;
// initialize newpool.wait.head to stack address
mempool_init(&newpool, ...);
conf->r1bio_pool = newpool;
}
raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request()
{
alloc_r1bio()
{
mempool_alloc()
{
// if pool->alloc fails
remove_element()
{
--pool->curr_nr;
}
}
}
}
mempool_free()
{
if (pool->curr_nr < pool->min_nr) {
// pool->wait.head is a stack address
// wake_up() will try to access this invalid address
// which leads to a kernel panic
return;
wake_up(&pool->wait);
}
}
Fix:
reinit conf->r1bio_pool.wait after assigning newpool.

need to dereference `io->cmd` for checking if the IO can be added to current
batch, see ublk_belong_to_same_batch() and io_uring_cmd_ctx_handle(). However,
`io->cmd` may become invalid after the uring_cmd is canceled.
Fixes it by only allowing to queue this IO in case that ublk_prep_req()
returns `BLK_STS_OK`, when 'io->cmd' is guaranteed to be valid.

For the CMB attributes, commit e917a849c3 ("nvme-pci: refresh visible

calling nvme_update_attrs after mapping the CMB. However the issue
persists for the HMB attributes. To solve the problem, moved the call to

The blktests nvme/058 manifests an issue where the NVMe subsystem
kobject entry remains stale in sysfs, causing a failure during
subsequent NVMe module reloads[1]. Specifically, when attempting to
register a new NVMe subsystem, the driver encounters a kobejct name
collision because a stale kobject still exists. Though, please note
that nvme/058 doesn't report any failure and test case passes and
it's only during subsequent NVMe module reloads, the stale nvme sub-
system kobject entry in sysfs causes the observed symptom[1].
This issue stems from an imbalance in the get/put usage of the namespace
head (nshead) reference counter. The nshead holds a reference to the
associated NVMe subsystem. If the nshead reference is not properly
released, it prevents the cleanup of the subsystem's kobject, leaving
nvme subsystem stale entry behind in sysfs.
During the failure case, the last namespace path referencing a nshead
is removed, but the nshead reference was not released. This occurs
because the release logic currently only puts the nshead reference
when its state is LIVE. However, in configurations where ANA (Asymmetric
Namespace Access) is enabled, a namespace may be associated with an ANA
state that is neither optimized nor non-optimized. In this case, the
nshead may never transition to LIVE, and the corresponding nshead
reference is then never dropped. In fact nvme/058 associates some of
nvme namespaces to an inaccessible ANA state and with that nshead is
created but it's state is not transitioned to LIVE. So the current
logic would then causes nshead reference to be leaked for non-LIVE
states.
Another scenario, during namespace allocation, the driver first
allocates a nshead and then issues an Identify Namespace command. If
this command fails — which can happen in tests like nvme/058 that
rapidly enables and disables namespaces — we must release the reference
to the newly allocated nshead. However this reference release is
currently missing in the failure, causing a nshead reference leak.
To fix this, we now unconditionally release the nshead reference when
the last nvme path referencing to the nshead is removed, regardless of
the head’s state. Also during identify namespace failure case we now
properly release the nshead reference. So this ensures proper cleanup
of the nshead, and consequently, the NVMe subsystem and its associated
kobject.
This change prevents stale kobject entries from lingering in sysfs and
eliminates the module reload failures observed just after running
nvme/058.

ublk_queue_cmd_list() dispatches the whole batch list by scheduling task
work via the tail request's io_uring_cmd, this way is fine even though
more than one io_ring_ctx are involved for this batch since it is just
one running context.
However, the task work handler ublk_cmd_list_tw_cb() takes `issue_flags`
of tail uring_cmd's io_ring_ctx for completing all commands. This way is
wrong if any uring_cmd is issued from different io_ring_ctx.
Fixes it by always building batch IOs from same io_ring_ctx and io task
because ublk_dispatch_req() does validate task context, and IO needs to
be aborted in case of running from fallback task work context.
For typical per-queue or per-io daemon implementation, this way shouldn't
make difference from performance viewpoint, because single io_ring_ctx is
taken in each daemon for normal use case.

invoked under the right ring context, or even task. If someone does
NVMe passthrough via multiple threads and with a limited number of
poll queues, then ringA may find completions from ringB. For that case,
completing the request may not be sound.
Always just punt the passthrough completions via task_work, which will

Previously, the block layer stored the requests in the plug list in
LIFO order. For this reason, blk_attempt_plug_merge() would check
just the head entry for a back merge attempt, and abort after that
unless requests for multiple queues existed in the plug list. If more
than one request is present in the plug list, this makes the one-shot
back merging less useful than before, as it'll always fail to find a
quick merge candidate.
Use the tail entry for the one-shot merge attempt, which is the last
added request in the list. If that fails, abort immediately unless
there are multiple queues available. If multiple queues are available,
then scan the list. Ideally the latter scan would be a backwards scan
of the list, but as it currently stands, the plug list is singly linked
and hence this isn't easily feasible.

Commit 104d0e2f62 ("nvme-fabrics: reset admin connection for secure
concatenation") modified nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() to call
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() twice. The first call prepares for
DH-CHAP negotitation, and the second call is required for secure
concatenation. However, this change triggered BUG KASAN slab-use-after-
free in blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter(). This BUG can be recreated by
repeating the blktests test case nvme/063 a few times [1].
When the BUG happens, nvme_tcp_create_ctrl() fails in the call chain
below:
nvme_tcp_create_ctrl()
nvme_tcp_alloc_ctrl() new=true ... Alloc nvme_tcp_ctrl and admin_tag_set
nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() new=true
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() new=true ... Succeed
nvme_alloc_admin_tag_set() ... Alloc the tag set for admin_tag_set
nvme_stop_keep_alive()
nvme_tcp_teardown_admin_queue() remove=false
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() new=false
nvme_tcp_alloc_admin_queue() ... Fail, but do not call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set()
nvme_uninit_ctrl()
nvme_put_ctrl() ... Free up the nvme_tcp_ctrl and admin_tag_set
The first call of nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() succeeds with
new=true argument. The second call fails with new=false argument. This
second call does not call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() on failure, due to
the new=false argument. Then the admin tag set is not removed. However,
nvme_tcp_create_ctrl() assumes that nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() would call
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set(). Then it frees up struct nvme_tcp_ctrl which
has admin_tag_set field. Later on, the timeout handler accesses the
admin_tag_set field and causes the BUG KASAN slab-use-after-free.
To not leave the admin tag set, call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() when
the second nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() call fails. Do not return
from nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() on failure. Instead, jump to "destroy_admin"
go-to label to call nvme_tcp_teardown_admin_queue() which calls
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set().
