Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 071/164] Revert "dm mpath: fix stalls when handling invalid ioctls"

3.19.8-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mauricfo@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 47796938c46b943d157ac8a6f9ed4e3b98b83cf4 upstream.

This reverts commit a1989b330093578ea5470bea0a00f940c444c466.

That commit introduced a regression at least for the case of the SG_IO ioctl()
running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there
are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather
than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example.

That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2])
from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest.

More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration
employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective
(some output & user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity).

Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios;
tested on linux-next (next-20151022).

1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM)

    $ cat sg_simple0.c
    ... see [3] ...
    $ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c > sgio_inquiry.c
    $ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry

2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present.

    # multipath -l 85ag56
    85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM     ,2145
    size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active
    | |- 8:0:11:0  sdz  65:144  active undef running
    | `- 9:0:9:0   sdbf 67:144  active undef running
    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
      |- 8:0:12:0  sdae 65:224  active undef running
      `- 9:0:12:0  sdbo 68:32   active undef running

    $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
    Some of the INQUIRY command's response:
        IBM       2145              0000
    INQUIRY duration=0 millisecs, resid=0

3) The ioctl() fails with ENOTTY errno with _no_ active paths present,
   for unprivileged users (rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path).

    # for path in $(multipath -l 85ag56 | grep -o 'sd[a-z]\+'); \
          do multipathd -k"fail path $path"; done

    # multipath -l 85ag56
    85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM     ,2145
    size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
    | |- 8:0:11:0  sdz  65:144  failed undef running
    | `- 9:0:9:0   sdbf 67:144  failed undef running
    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
      |- 8:0:12:0  sdae 65:224  failed undef running
      `- 9:0:12:0  sdbo 68:32   failed undef running

    $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
    sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

4) dmesg shows that scsi_verify_blk_ioctl() failed for SG_IO (0x2285);
   it returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, later replaced with -ENOTTY in vfs_ioctl().

    $ dmesg
    <...>
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:144.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 67:144.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:224.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 68:32.
    [] sgio_inquiry: sending ioctl 2285 to a partition!

5) The ioctl() only works if the SYS_CAP_RAWIO capability is present
   (then queueing happens -- in this example, queue_if_no_path is set);
   this is due to a conditional check in scsi_verify_blk_ioctl().

    # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c './sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56'
    sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

    # ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56 &
    [1] 72830

    # cat /proc/72830/stack

    [<c000000000009358>] system_call+0x38/0xd0

6) This is the function call chain exercised in this analysis:

                                    return 0;
                                ...
                                if (capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO)) // not taken (unprivileged user)
                                    return 0;
                                ...

                                           "%s: sending ioctl %x to a partition!\n" <...>);

                                return -ENOIOCTLCMD;
                            <-
