scsi: core: Add lock context annotations
This commit adds lock context annotations to document which functions expect
shost->scan_mutex to be held.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but while looking at scsi_report_lun_scan()
there appears to be an integer overflow condition when handling untrusted
device input.
If a malicious device returns 0xFFFFFFFF as the length in a REPORT LUNS
response, the addition with sizeof(struct scsi_lun) can cause an overflow:
if (get_unaligned_be32(lun_data->scsi_lun) +
sizeof(struct scsi_lun) > length) {
length = get_unaligned_be32(lun_data->scsi_lun) +
sizeof(struct scsi_lun);
kfree(lun_data);
goto retry;
}
On 64-bit platforms, size_t promotion causes the addition to evaluate to
0x100000007, which is greater than length. When this is assigned back to the
32-bit length variable, it truncates to 7. This causes the code to reallocate
a 7-byte buffer and retry indefinitely, leading to a deadlock on scan_mutex.
On 32-bit platforms, the addition wraps to 7, skipping the reallocation
entirely. The length variable stays 0xFFFFFFFF, which results in a massive
num_luns count and eventually an out-of-bounds read past the buffer.
Could we add a bounds check to ensure the reported length doesn't overflow
before we attempt to reallocate?
[ ... ]
[Severity: Low]
Are there other functions that should be included in this update? Looking
through the SCSI core code, there are a few other static and internal helpers
that rely on scan_mutex being held, such as scsi_sysfs_add_devices() in
scsi_scan.c:
static void scsi_sysfs_add_devices(struct Scsi_Host *shost)
{
...
}
and __scsi_remove_device() in scsi_sysfs.c:
void __scsi_remove_device(struct scsi_device *sdev)
{
...
}
Would it be useful to add the __must_hold annotation to these functions as
well so static analysis tools can catch missing locks across the subsystem?
