[RFC PATCH 0/6] bsg: fix regression resulting in panics when sending commands via BSG and some sanity cleanups

[Benjamin Block]

Hello all,

Steffen noticed recently that we have a regression in the BSG code that
prevents us from sending any traffic over this interface. After I
researched this a bit, it turned out that this affects not only zFCP, but
likely all LLDs that implements the BSG API. This was introduced in 4.11
(details in Patch 1 of this series).

I imagine the regression happened because of some very "unfortunate"
variable- namings. I can not fix them, as they involve the base struct
request, but I tried to add some cleanups that should make the
relationships between stuff more visible in the future I hope.

Patch 1   - Regression Fix; Also tagged for stable
Patch 2-6 - Cleanups

I tagged this as RFC. Patches 2-6 are a 'nice to have' IMO, Patch 1 is
obviously necessary, and if it is OK, I can re-send it separately if
necessary. If you don't like the changes in the other patches, I don't mind
dropping them.

I am not sure about Patch 4. It certainly works, but it changes
user-visible behavior, in what I believe is within the behavior described
by the SG interface. It makes the different methods of how BSG passes
commands down to the LLDs more conform with each other - even though I
can't make them the exact same. More details in the patch description.

I rebased the series on Jens' for-next and I have function-tested the
series on s390x's zFCP with the tools provided in the zfcp HBA API library
(https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/zfcp-hbaapi.html) and
some custom code to test the read/write interface of BSG.

Reviews are more than welcome :)

[RFC PATCH 1/6] bsg: fix kernel panic resulting from missing allocation of a reply-buffer

[Benjamin Block]

In contrast to the normal SCSI-lib, the BSG block-queue doesn't make use of
any extra init_rq_fn() to make additional allocations during
request-creation, and the request sense-pointer is not used to transport
SCSI sense data, but is used as backing for the bsg_job->reply pointer;
that in turn is used in the LLDs to store protocol IUs or similar stuff.
This 're-purposing' of the sense-pointer is done in the BSG blk-lib
(bsg_create_job()), during the queue-processing.

Failing to allocate/assign it results in illegal dereferences because LLDs
use this pointer unquestioned, as can be seen in the various
BSG-implementations:

drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_lport.c:  fc_lport_bsg_request()
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_bsg.c: qla24xx_bsg_request()
drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_bsg.c: qla4xxx_process_vendor_specific()
drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_fc.c:    zfcp_fc_ct_els_job_handler()
...

An example panic on s390x, using the zFCP driver, looks like this (I had
debugging on, otherwise NULL-pointer dereferences wouldn't even panic on
s390x):

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space

To prevent this, allocate a buffer when the BSG blk-request is setup, and

Re: [RFC PATCH 1/6] bsg: fix kernel panic resulting from missing allocation of a reply-buffer

[Christoph Hellwig]

We can't use an on-stack buffer for the sense data, as drivers will
dma to it.  So we should reuse the SCSI init_rq_fn() for the BSG
queues and/or implement the same scheme.

BSG is odd in this regard. Here is the data model as far as I understood
it from reading the source.

The user of the interface provides his input via a sg_io_v4 object.

 struct sg_io_v4
 +--------------+
 |              |  
 | request-------->+----------------------------+
 |   + _len     |  |                            |

 |              |  | e.g. struct fc_bsg_request | Depends on BSG implementation
 |              |  |                            | FC vs. iSCSI vs. ...
 |              |  +----------------------------+
 |              |
 | response------->+----------------------------+ Used as _Output_
 |   + max_len  |  |                            | User doesn't initialize
 |   (B)        |  | BSG Reply                  | User provides (optional)
 |              |  | e.g. struct fc_bsg_reply   |   memory; May be NULL.
 |              |  |                            |

 |   + _len     |  |                       |   the LLD
 |   (C)        |  | Transport Protocol IU | Aligned on PAGE_SIZE
 |              |  | e.g. FC-GS-7 CT_IU    |
 |              |  |                       |
 |              |  +-----------------------+
 |              |
 | din_xferp------>+-----------------------+ Buffer for response data by
 |   + _len     |  |                       |   the LLD
 |   (D)        |  | Transport Protocol IU | Aligned on PAGE_SIZE
 |              |  | e.g. FC-GS-7 CT_IU    |
 |              |  |                       |
 |              |  +-----------------------+
 +--------------+

This is just a part of it, but the most important for this issue. The
BSG driver then encapsulates this into two linked block-requests he
passes down to the LLDs. The first block-request (E) is for the Request
Data, and the second request (F) for the Response Data. (F) is optional,
depending on the whether the user passes both dout_xferp and din_xferp.

 struct request (E)
 +--------------+
 |              |  struct scsi_request
 | scsi_request--->+-----------------+
 |              |  |                 |
 |              |  | cmd---------------------> Copy of (A)
 |              |  |  + _len         |         Space in struct or kzalloc
 |              |  |  (G)            |
 |              |  |                 |
 |              |  | sense-------------------> Space for BSG Reply
 |              |  |  + _len         |         Same Data-Structure as (B)
 |              |  |  (H)            |         NOT actually pointer (B)
 |              |  |                 |         'reply_buffer' in my patch 
 |              |  +-----------------+
 |              |
 | bio------------> Mapped via blk_rq_map_user() to (C) dout_xferp
 |              |
 | next_rq---------+
 |              |  |
 +--------------+  |
                   |
 struct request (F)|(if used)
 +--------------+<-+
 |              |
 | scsi_request---> Unused here
 |              |
 | bio------------> Mapped via blk_rq_map_user() to (D) din_xferp
 |              |
 +--------------+

This is enqueued in the (legacy) blk-queue. In bsg-lib.c this is
processed and encapsulated into an other data-structure struct bsg_job

 struct bsg_job
 +-----------------+
 |                 |
 | request-----------> (G) scsi_request->cmd -> Copy of (A)
 |   + _len        |       e.g. struct fc_bsg_request
 |                 |
 | reply-------------> (H) scsi_request->sense -> 'reply_buffer'
 |   + _len        |       e.g. struct fc_bsg_reply
 |                 |
 | request_payload---> struct scatterlist ... map (E)->bio
 |   + _len        |
 |   (I)           |
 |                 |
 | reply_payload-----> struct scatterlist ... map (F)->bio
 |   + _len        |
 |   (J)           |
 |                 |
 +-----------------+

This then is finally what the LLD gets to work with, with the callback
from the request-queue. Depending on contents of (G) the LLD gets to
decide whatever the user-space wants him to do. This depends highly on
the transport.

In case of zFCP we map (I) and (J) directly into the ring that passes
the data to our hardware and the one that the hardware uses to pass back
the responses.

(This is actually pretty cool if you think about it. Apart from the copy
we make of (A) into (G), this whole send was completely 'zero-copy'.
Depending on the hardware it can directly DMA onto the wire... I guess
most modern cards can do such a thing.)

When the answer is coming back, the payload data is expected to be put
into (J). If your HW can DMA into this, no more effort.

Again, depending on (H), the LLD fills in some information for
accounting and such. In case of FC, there is also some
protocol-information, but this is by no means a standard IU.

This is then passed up the stack pretty quick and if the user passed
something with (B), data from (H) is copied into (B). But this is
optional. The main payload is transferred to the user via (J) which is a
remap of (D).

So this is my understanding here. (I don't wanna say that this is
necessarily completely correct ;-), pleas correct me, if I am wrong. The
lack of proper documentation is also not helping at all.)

This worked till it broke. Right now every driver that tries to access
(H) will panic the system, or cause very undefined behavior. I suspect
no driver right now tries to do any DMA into (H); before the regression,
this has been also an on-stack variable (I suspect since BSG was
introduced, haven't checked though).

The asymmetries between the first struct request (E) and the following
(F) also makes it hard to use the same scheme as in other drivers, where
init_rq_fn() gets to initialize each request in the same'ish way. Or?
Just looking at it right now, this would require some bigger rework that
is not appropriate for a stable bug-fix.

I think it would be best if we fix the possible panics every user of
this is gonna experience and after that we can still think about
improving it further beyond what the rest of the patch set already does,
if that is necessary.

Just some more brain-dump here.

One more problem for direct DMA into (H) in the current BSG setup is
probably, that the transport classes have each their own private format
for the BSG reply (struct fc_bsg_reply and struct iscsi_bsg_reply right
now I think). The current stack doesn't take any precaution to properly
align this in accords to what the LLDs specifies for the blk-layer... so
lets assume struct fc_bsg_reply. This has fields for actual protocol IUs
(in contrast to iSCSI, where it only has some vendor-reply buffer [an
array with 0 length...]), but they start after some BSG meta-data that
are non-standard. We would have to rewrite that to allow mapping the
start of the protocol IUs in accords to the expectations the LLDs have..
page-aligned and such things. Otherwise we would break whatever handles
the meta-data the LLD pass up the stack - added that this is actually
user visible data, passed back via struct sg_io_v4.

This could be something of a new feature I guess, it would be an
improvement in terms that it could reduce copies even more, but w/o
further research I guess it is a bit more work.

Re: [RFC PATCH 1/6] bsg: fix kernel panic resulting from missing allocation of a reply-buffer

[Christoph Hellwig]

My point was that we now gurantee that that the sense data is not
a stack pointer an a driver can DMA to it.  Now for BSG the sense
data is "just" abused as reply, but the point still stands - we
don't want to pass a possible stack pointer to drivers in a data
buffer because we want to allow DMA to it.

That being said with your patch 4 that becomes a moot point as we'll
now always dynamically allocate it.  So maybe just reorder that to go
first and we should be fine.

Re: [RFC PATCH 1/6] bsg: fix kernel panic resulting from missing allocation of a reply-buffer

[Christoph Hellwig]

But patch 1 still creates an additional copy of the sense data for
all bsg users.

Can you test the patch below which implements my suggestion?  Your
other patches should still apply fine on top modulo minor context
changes.

Subject: bsg-lib: allocate sense data for each request

Since we split the scsi_request out of the request the driver is supposed
to provide storage for the sense buffer.  The bsg-lib code failed to do so,
though and will crash anytime it is used.

This patch moves bsg-lib to allocate and setup the bsg_job ahead of time,
and allocate the sense data, which is used as reply buffer in bsg.

Huh? What additional copy? There is one reply-buffer and that is copied
into the user-buffer should it contain valid data. Just like in your
patch, neither you, nor me touches any of the copy-code. There is also
no changes to how the driver get their data into that buffer, it will
still be copied in both cases.

Only your patch on top of 4.13-rc4. din_xferp (D) is also empty, which is
not taken from the sense-buffer.

This will now create an additional and never used (sizeof(struct
bsg_job) + dd_job_size + SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE - sizeof(struct
scsi_request)) size buffer for each bidirectional BSG request (each FC
request for zFCP for example). I mentioned that in my reply.

I really don't see the point in this exercise. We know the old way
worked well for BSG, no driver has been changed in expectations to now
do DMA to the reply-buffer.. its a custom non-standardised kernel
struct.. there is no HW that would do this (and like I said, the reply
protocol Data is already DMA'ed directly into the user-provided
buffers, if the HW can). And more-over, like you said, later patches
make all allocations on-heap anyway.

If you really want, I can change the first patch to do more of what
Patch 4 does right now, so that there is no on-stack usage, even just
intermediate in a patch-series.

You're right - I misread your patch.  But that does make it worse as
this means that with your patch we re-assign the scsi_request.sense
pointer when using bsg.  That will lead to crashes if using the bsg
code against e.g. a normal scsi device using bsg when that request
later gets reused for something that is not bsg.

Oops - if we don't allocate the job separately we should not free it either.
Updated patch for that below:

Subject: bsg-lib: allocate sense data for each request

Since we split the scsi_request out of the request the driver is supposed
to provide storage for the sense buffer.  The bsg-lib code failed to do so,
though and will crash anytime it is used.

This patch moves bsg-lib to allocate and setup the bsg_job ahead of time,
and allocate the sense data, which is used as reply buffer in bsg.

So when the bsg interface is used with something different than the
bsg-lib request queue? I haven't actually thought about that (presuming
the bsg-lib queue was the only one being used). Fair enough, I haven't
completely read that code now, but that seems bad then, to reassign a
space allocated in someone else's request queue. 

That still leaves open that we now over-allocate space in bsg-lib, or?

This patch moves bsg-lib to allocate and setup the bsg_job ahead of time,
and allocate the sense data, which is used as reply buffer in bsg.

When the BSG interface is used with bsg-lib, and the user sends a
Bidirectional command - so when he gives an input- and output-buffer
(most users of our interface will likely do that, if they wanna get the
transport-level response data) - bsg will allocate two requests from the
queue. The first request's bio is used to map the input and the second
request's bio for the output (see bsg_map_hdr() in the if-statement with
(op == REQ_OP_SCSI_OUT && hdr->din_xfer_len)).

When we now allocate the full space of bsg_job, sense, dd_data for each
request, these will be wasted on the (linked) second request. They will
go unused all the time, as only the first request's bsg_job, sense and
dd_data is used by the LLDs and BSG itself.

Right now, because we don't allocate this on each request, those spaces
are only allocated for the first request in bsg-lib.

Maybe we can ignore this, if it gets to complicated, I don't wanne
prolong this unnecessary.

We have the same 'issue' with bidirection scsi commands - it's a side
effect of having two request structures for these commands, and the
only real fix would be to have a single request structure, which would
be nice especially if we can't do it without growing struct request.

What is the reason for moving that last line? Just wondering whether
that might change the behavior somehow, although it doesn't look like it
from the code.

That doesn't work with bsg.c if the request submitted by the user is
bigger than BLK_MAX_CDB. There is code in blk_fill_sgv4_hdr_rq() that
will reassign the req->cmd point in that case to something else.

This is maybe wrong in the same vein as my Patch 1 is. If not for the
legacy code in bsg.c, setting this here, will miss changes to that
pointer between request-allocation and job-submission.

So maybe just move this to bsg_create_job().

job->reply_len will be 0 here, won't it? You probably have to pull the
"job->reply_len = SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE" here from bsg_create_job().

Don't we need to free the reply-buffer as well?

Not sure how you wanna proceed. I can also sketch something up and
already test it on our cards, to prevent the ping-pong.

The job is now allocated as part of the request, so we must fre
it last.  The only change in behavior is that the reference gets dropped
a bit earlier, but once ownership is handed to the block layer
it's not needed, as are the memory allocations for the S/G lists.

[RFC PATCH 2/6] bsg: assign sense_len instead of fixed SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE

[Benjamin Block]

We do set rq->sense_len when we assigne the reply-buffer in
blk_fill_sgv4_hdr_rq(). No point in possibly deviating from this value
later on.

bsg-lib.h specifies:
    unsigned int reply_len;
    /*
     * On entry : reply_len indicates the buffer size allocated for
     * the reply.
     *
     * ...

[RFC PATCH 3/6] bsg: scsi-transport: add compile-tests to prevent reply-buffer overflows

[Benjamin Block]

The BSG implementations use the bsg_job's reply buffer as storage for their
own custom reply structures (e.g.: struct fc_bsg_reply or
struct iscsi_bsg_reply). The size of bsg_job's reply buffer and those of
the implementations is not dependent in any way the compiler can currently
check.

To make it easier to notice accidental violations add an explicit compile-
time check that tests whether the implementations' reply buffer is at most
as large as bsg_job's.

To do so, we have to move the size-define from bsg.c to a common header.

[RFC PATCH 4/6] bsg: refactor ioctl to use regular BSG-command infrastructure for SG_IO

[Benjamin Block]

Before, the SG_IO ioctl for BSG devices used to use its own on-stack data
to assemble and send the specified command. The read and write calls use
their own infrastructure build around the struct bsg_command and a custom
slab-pool for that.

Rafactor this, so that SG_IO ioctl also uses struct bsg_command and the
surrounding infrastructure. This way we use global defines like
BSG_COMMAND_REPLY_BUFFERSIZE only in one place, rather than two, the
handling of BSG commands gets more consistent, and it reduces some code-
duplications (the bio-pointer handling). It also reduces the stack
footprint by 320 to 384 bytes (depending on how large pointers are), and
uses the active slab-implementation for efficient alloc/free.

There are two other side-effects:
 - the 'duration' field in the sg header is now also filled for SG_IO
   calls, unlike before were it was always zero.
 - the BSG device queue-limit is also applied to SG_IO, unlike before were
   you could flood one BSG device with as many commands as you'd like. If
   one can trust older SG documentation this limit is applicable to either
   normal writes, or SG_IO calls; but this wasn't enforced before for
   SG_IO.

A complete unification is not possible, as it then would also enqueue SG_IO
commands in the BGS devices's command list, but this is only for the read-
and write-calls.

Hmm yeah, odd. To be honest, I just copied the expression so that it is
obvious that no behavior changed, but just the place. I'll replace it

I wish we could just rename the argument to mode and pass on the
whole file->f_mode while you are cleaning up this code.  That should
be a separate patch, though.

Hmm, I did a quick pass through the code and the only place this seems
to be used, is to pass it to blk_verify_command() if the subcommand used
in the BSG request is a SCSI Command. And this has the same semantics.
So I guess this would require adjustments to the whole stack, as this is
also used from the 'normal' SG side of the world.

[RFC PATCH 6/6] bsg: reduce unnecessary arguments for blk_complete_sgv4_hdr_rq()

[Benjamin Block]

Since struct bsg_command is now used in every calling case, we don't
need separation of arguments anymore that are contained in the same
bsg_command.
