The event names for the DM events recorded in the ima log do not contain
any information to indicate the events are part of the DM devices/targets.
Prefix the event names for DM events with "dm_" to indicate that they
are part of device-mapper.

The DM events present in the ima log contain various attributes in the
key=value format. The attributes' names/values may change in future,
and new attributes may also get added. The attestation server needs
some versioning to determine which attributes are supported and are
expected in the ima log.
Add version information to the DM events present in the ima log to
help attestation servers to correctly process the attributes across
different versions.

The active/inactive table hashes measured in the ima log do not contain
the information about hash algorithm. This information is useful for the
attestation servers to recreate the hashes and compare them with the ones
present in the ima log to verify the table contents.

On systems with many cores using dm-crypt, heavy spinlock contention in
percpu_counter_compare() can be observed when the page allocation limit
for a given device is reached or close to be reached. This is due
to percpu_counter_compare() taking a spinlock to compute an exact
result on potentially many CPUs at the same time.
Switch to non-exact comparison of allocated and allowed pages by using
the value returned by percpu_counter_read_positive() to avoid taking
the percpu_counter spinlock.
This may over/under estimate the actual number of allocated pages by at
most (batch-1) * num_online_cpus().
Currently, batch is bounded by 32. The system on which this issue was
first observed has 256 CPUs and 512GB of RAM. With a 4k page size, this
change may over/under estimate by 31MB. With ~10G (2%) allowed dm-crypt
allocations, this seems an acceptable error. Certainly preferred over
running into the spinlock contention.
This behavior was reproduced on an EC2 c5.24xlarge instance with 96 CPUs
and 192GB RAM as follows, but can be provoked on systems with less CPUs
as well.
* Disable swap
* Tune vm settings to promote regular writeback
$ echo 50 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
$ echo 25 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
$ echo $((128 * 1024 * 1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes
* Create 8 dmcrypt devices based on files on a tmpfs
* Create and mount an ext4 filesystem on each crypt devices
* Run stress-ng --hdd 8 within one of above filesystems
Total %system usage collected from sysstat goes to ~35%. Write throughput
on the underlying loop device is ~2GB/s. perf profiling an individual
kworker kcryptd thread shows the following profile, indicating spinlock
contention in percpu_counter_compare():

For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.
Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
01. cache
02. crypt
03. integrity
04. linear
05. mirror
06. multipath
07. raid
08. snapshot
09. striped
10. verity
For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.
For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.
/etc/ima/ima-policy
measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf
The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.
The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.

A given block device is identified by it's name and UUID. However, both
these parameters can be renamed. For an external attestation service to
correctly attest a given device, it needs to keep track of these rename
events.
Update the device data with the new values for IMA measurements. Measure
both old and new device name/UUID parameters in the same IMA measurement
event, so that the old and the new values can be connected later.

For a given block device, an inactive table slot contains the parameters
to configure the device with. The inactive table can be cleared
multiple times, accidentally or maliciously, which may impact the
functionality of the device, and compromise the system. Therefore it is

A given block device can load a table multiple times, with different
input parameters, before eventually resuming it. Further, a device may
be suspended and then resumed. The device may never resume after a
table-load. Because of the above valid scenarios for a given device,
it is important to measure and log the device resume event using IMA.
Also, if the table is large, measuring it in clear-text each time the
device changes state, will unnecessarily increase the size of IMA log.
Since the table clear-text is already measured during table-load event,
measuring the hash during resume should be sufficient to validate the
table contents.
Measure the device parameters, and hash of the active table, when the
device is resumed.

DM configures a block device with various target specific attributes
passed to it as a table. DM loads the table, and calls each target’s
respective constructors with the attributes as input parameters.
Some of these attributes are critical to ensure the device meets
certain security bar. Thus, IMA should measure these attributes, to
ensure they are not tampered with, during the lifetime of the device.
So that the external services can have high confidence in the
configuration of the block-devices on a given system.
Some devices may have large tables. And a given device may change its
state (table-load, suspend, resume, rename, remove, table-clear etc.)
many times. Measuring these attributes each time when the device
changes its state will significantly increase the size of the IMA logs.
Further, once configured, these attributes are not expected to change
unless a new table is loaded, or a device is removed and recreated.
Therefore the clear-text of the attributes should only be measured
during table load, and the hash of the active/inactive table should be
measured for the remaining device state changes.
Export IMA function ima_measure_critical_data() to allow measurement
of DM device parameters, as well as target specific attributes, during
table load. Compute the hash of the inactive table and store it for
measurements during future state change. If a load is called multiple
times, update the inactive table hash with the hash of the latest
populated table. So that the correct inactive table hash is measured
when the device transitions to different states like resume, remove,
rename, etc.

device mapper needs to register holders before it is ready to do I/O.
Currently it does so by registering the disk early, which can leave
the disk and queue in a weird half state where the queue is registered
with the disk, except for sysfs and the elevator. And this state has
been a bit promlematic before, and will get more so when sorting out
the responsibilities between the queue and the disk.
Support registering holders on an initialized but not registered disk
instead by delaying the sysfs registration until the disk is registered.

We noticed that the user interface of Android devices becomes very slow
under memory pressure. This is because Android uses the zram driver on top
of the loop driver for swapping, because under memory pressure the swap
code alternates reads and writes quickly, because mq-deadline is the
default scheduler for loop devices and because mq-deadline delays writes by
five seconds for such a workload with default settings. Fix this by making
the kernel select I/O scheduler 'none' from inside add_disk() for loop
devices. This default can be overridden at any time from user space,
e.g. via a udev rule. This approach has an advantage compared to changing
the I/O scheduler from userspace from 'mq-deadline' into 'none', namely
that synchronize_rcu() does not get called.
This patch changes the default I/O scheduler for loop devices from
'mq-deadline' into 'none'.
Additionally, this patch reduces the Android boot time on my test setup
with 0.5 seconds compared to configuring the loop I/O scheduler from user
space.

elevator_get_default() uses the following algorithm to select an I/O
scheduler from inside add_disk():
- In case of a single hardware queue or if sharing hardware queues across
multiple request queues (BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED), use mq-deadline.
- Otherwise, use 'none'.
This is a good choice for most but not for all block drivers. Make it
possible to override the selection of mq-deadline with a new flag,
namely BLK_MQ_F_NO_SCHED_BY_DEFAULT.

Associating uevents with block devices in userspace is difficult and racy:
the uevent netlink socket is lossy, and on slow and overloaded systems
has a very high latency.
Block devices do not have exclusive owners in userspace, any process can
set one up (e.g. loop devices). Moreover, device names can be reused
(e.g. loop0 can be reused again and again). A userspace process setting
up a block device and watching for its events cannot thus reliably tell
whether an event relates to the device it just set up or another earlier
instance with the same name.
Being able to set a UUID on a loop device would solve the race conditions.
But it does not allow to derive orderings from uevents: if you see a
uevent with a UUID that does not match the device you are waiting for,
you cannot tell whether it's because the right uevent has not arrived yet,
or it was already sent and you missed it. So you cannot tell whether you
should wait for it or not.
Associating a unique, monotonically increasing sequential number to the
lifetime of each block device, which can be retrieved with an ioctl
immediately upon setting it up, allows to solve the race conditions with
uevents, and also allows userspace processes to know whether they should
wait for the uevent they need or if it was dropped and thus they should
move on.
Additionally, increment the disk sequence number when the media change,
i.e. on DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE event.

cmdline-parser.c is only used by the cmdline faux partition format,
so merge the code into that and avoid an indirect call.

disk_name for partition 0 just copies out the disk_name field. Replace
the call to disk_name with a %s format specifier.

Printk ->disk_name directly for the disk and use the %pg format specifier
for the block device, which is equivalent to a bdevname call.

I have compiled the kernel with a cross compiler "hppa-linux-gnu-" v9.3.0
on x86-64 host machine. I got the following warning:
block/genhd.c: In function ‘diskstats_show’:
block/genhd.c:1227:1: warning: the frame size of 1688 bytes is larger
than 1280 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
1227 | }
By Reduced the stack footprint by using the %pg printk specifier instead
of disk_name to remove the need for the on-stack buffer.

Now that we've stopped using inode references for anything meaninful
in the block layer get rid of the helper to put it and just open code
the call to iput on the block_device inode.

All callers are gone, and no one should grab a pure inode reference to
a block device anymore.

The whole device block device won't be removed while the disk is still
alive, so don't bother to grab a reference to it.
