[PATCH v2 0/5] scsi: ufs: Fix UIC result byte and BSG request handling

[PATCH v2 0/5] scsi: ufs: Fix UIC result byte and BSG request handling

[Stanley Jhu]

ufs-bsg fixes for issues found by fuzzing /dev/bsg/ufs-bsg* with
syzkaller on QEMU's emulated UFS host controller and in review of v1,
plus a fix for peer DME retries.

Patch 1 completes failed BSG requests via bsg_job_done() so error paths
do not leak the job's device reference and mapped scatterlists.
Patch 2 clears the reused reply buffer so replies do not carry bytes
from an earlier request.
Patch 3 rejects requests shorter than the UFS BSG request structures.
Patch 4 rejects UIC commands with a non-zero result byte from userspace.
Patch 5 clears the stale UIC result byte and restores argument3 before
peer DME retries.

Patches 1-2 also address the sashiko review of the bsg reply_len patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/sashiko-outbox-169843@kernel.org/

Tested on QEMU arm64: the reproducers no longer trigger.

Differences from v1:
- New patch 1/5: complete failed jobs via bsg_job_done().
- New patch 2/5: clear the reply buffer on entry.
- Patch 4/5: reject non-zero UIC result byte with -EINVAL (Bart).
- Patch 5/5: restore argument3 on each retry in ufshcd_dme_set_attr().

[PATCH v2 1/5] scsi: ufs: bsg: Complete the job on error

[Stanley Jhu]

When ufs_bsg_request() fails, it returns a non-zero status without
calling bsg_job_done(). bsg_queue_rq() then ends the request with
BLK_STS_IOERR without running bsg_complete(), leaking the job's device
reference and mapped scatterlists.

Always complete the job via bsg_job_done() and return 0, matching other
BSG transports. Requests failing with a negative errno now return it
from SG_IO with the 4-byte result in the reply, while positive status
codes still return 0 from SG_IO with the reply header.

[PATCH v2 2/5] scsi: ufs: bsg: Clear the reply buffer before use

[Stanley Jhu]

The reply buffer is allocated once per tag and reused. Requests that
complete with a positive status do not fill all of it, so user space
receives bytes from an earlier request on the same tag.

Clear the whole reply buffer on entry to ufs_bsg_request().

[PATCH v2 3/5] scsi: ufs: bsg: Validate request_len before accessing request

[Stanley Jhu]

ufs_bsg_request() and ufs_bsg_exec_advanced_rpmb_req() read the
request buffer without checking job->request_len, which userspace
controls. A short request causes an out-of-bounds read. Found by
syzkaller.

Reject requests shorter than the structure each path reads.

[PATCH v2 4/5] scsi: ufs: bsg: Reject UIC commands with a non-zero result byte

[Stanley Jhu]

ufs_bsg_request() passes the user-supplied UIC argument2 unchanged,
including the result byte (bits 7:0) that only the host controller
writes. A non-zero value triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
ufshcd_dispatch_uic_cmd() and corrupts the reported result. Found by
syzkaller.

Reject UIC commands that have the result byte set with -EINVAL.

[PATCH v2 5/5] scsi: ufs: core: Clear stale UIC result byte before peer DME retries

[Stanley Jhu]

Peer DME get and set retry a failed attempt with the same struct
uic_command. UIC completion ORs the ConfigResultCode into
argument2[7:0], and nothing clears it before the next attempt. Once an
attempt fails, every retry keeps reporting that error code, even when
the device returns success, so a transient failure becomes a hard
failure after three retries. Each such retry also triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE() in ufshcd_dispatch_uic_cmd(). In ufshcd_dme_set_attr(),
ufshcd_uic_cmd_compl() also overwrites argument3 with the register
readback before the next attempt.

Clear the result byte and restore argument3 in ufshcd_dme_set_attr()
when an attempt fails.
