block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices 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->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.

block: allow WRITE_SAME commands with the SG_IO ioctl The WRITE_SAME commands are not present in the blk_default_cmd_filter write_ok list, and thus are failed with -EPERM when the SG_IO ioctl() is executed without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users). [ sg_io() -> blk_fill_sghdr_rq() > blk_verify_command() -> -EPERM ] The problem can be reproduced with the sg_write_same command # sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda # # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \ 'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda' Write same: pass through os error: Operation not permitted # For comparison, the WRITE_VERIFY command does not observe this problem, since it is in that list: # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \ 'sg_write_verify --num 1 --ilen 512 --lba 0 /dev/sda' # So, this patch adds the WRITE_SAME commands to the list, in order for the SG_IO ioctl to finish successfully: # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \ 'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda' # 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]), which employs the SG_IO ioctl() and runs as an unprivileged user (libvirt-qemu). In that scenario, when a filesystem (e.g., ext4) performs its zero-out calls, which are translated to write-same calls in the guest kernel, and then into SG_IO ioctls to the host kernel, SCSI I/O errors may be observed in the guest: [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Add.

[SCSI] block: Fix miscalculation of sg_io timeout in CDROM_SEND_PACKET handler. It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following: The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However, a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds. Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW, the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.
