In drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data() allocates a memory
area with kmalloc in line 2885.
2885 cgc->buffer = kmalloc(blocksize, GFP_KERNEL);
2886 if (cgc->buffer == NULL)
2887 return -ENOMEM;
In line 2908 we can find the copy_to_user function:
2908 if (!ret && copy_to_user(arg, cgc->buffer, blocksize))
The cgc->buffer is never cleaned and initialized before this function.
If ret = 0 with the previous basic block, it's possible to display some
memory bytes in kernel space from userspace.
When we read a block from the disk it normally fills the ->buffer but if
the drive is malfunctioning there is a chance that it would only be
partially filled. The result is an leak information to userspace.

The keeplocked variable in the cdrom driver is shared across multiple
drives, but set in per-device ioctls. Move it to the per-device struct,
avoiding that the setting on one drive affects the driver's behavior
when closing another.
[ Impact: limit udev's confusion to one drive when a CD burning program
unlocks the CD door at the end of burning. ]

"nframes" comes from the user and "nframes * CD_FRAMESIZE_RAW" can wrap
on 32 bit systems. That would have been ok if we used the same wrapped
value for the copy, but we use a shifted value. We should just use the
checked version of copy_to_user() because it's not going to make a
difference to the speed.

Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.
The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.
It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export
kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce
buffer_head.h requirement accordingly.
Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit
obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.

The report has an ISO which has a very long manufacturer ID. It seems
that Linux is wrong, not the ISO maker.
Relax the check for the length of this field: emit a warning and truncate
the incoming data to 2048 bytes rather than rejecting the entire thing.
dvd_manufact.value isn't null-terminated. I'm not even sure if it's a
string. The kernel doesn't apepar to use it anyway.

cdrom_open() called check_disk_change() after the rest of open path
succeeded which leads to the following bizarre behavior.
* After media change, if the device opened without O_NONBLOCK,
open_for_data() naturally fails with -ENOMEDIA and
check_disk_change() is never called. The media is known to be gone
and the open failure makes it obvious to the userland but device
invalidation never happens.
* But if the device is opened with O_NONBLOCK, all the checks are
bypassed and cdrom_open() doesn't notice that the media is not there
and check_disk_change() is called and invalidation happens.
There's nothing to be gained by avoiding calling check_disk_change()
on open failure. Common cases end up calling check_disk_change()
anyway. All we get is inconsistent behavior.
Fix it by moving check_disk_change() invocation to the top of
cdrom_open() so that it always gets called regardless of how the rest
of open proceeds.

Commit 93aae17af1172c40c6f74b7294e93a90c3cfaa5d ("sr: implement
sr_check_events()") replaced the media_changed op with the
check_events op in drivers/scsi/sr.c
All users that check for the CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED capbility try both
the check_events op and the media_changed op, but register_cdrom()
was requiring media_changed.
This patch fixes the capability checking.
The cdrom_select_disc ioctl is also using the two operations, so
they should be required for CDC_SELECT_DISC too.

In principle, cdrom just needs to pass through ->check_events() but
CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl makes things a bit more complex. Just as
with ->media_changed() support, cdrom code needs to buffer the events
and serve them to ioctl and vfs as requested.
As the code has to deal with both ->check_events() and
->media_changed(), and vfs and ioctl event buffering, this patch adds
check_events caching on top of the existing cdi->mc_flags buffering.
It may be a good idea to deprecate CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl and
remove all this mess.

This patch introduces struct rq_map_data to enable bio_copy_use_iov()
use reserved pages.
Currently, bio_copy_user_iov allocates bounce pages but
drivers/scsi/sg.c wants to allocate pages by itself and use
them. struct rq_map_data can be used to pass allocated pages to
bio_copy_user_iov.
The current users of bio_copy_user_iov simply passes NULL (they don't
want to use pre-allocated pages).

This patch should fix TOC handling for cdroms that can not play audio. It
extends commit af744e3294d09d706c4eae26cffaaa68a8d40337 ("cdrom: don't
check CDC_PLAY_AUDIO in cdrom_count_tracks()") with a safety check and
non-audio ioctls support.
Since CDC_PLAY_AUDIO flag was used not only to check ability to play audio
but also to ensure that audio_ioctl was not NULL, all TOC-related
operations had to use it.
As far as I understand, now audio_ioctl is never NULL, so a sanity check
during device registration should be sufficient.
It was tested on Optiarc AD7203A device, that has no ability to play
audio.

According to MMC-3 (or any later versions) READ TOCs are mandatory
commands and have nothing to do with CDC_PLAY_AUDIO. I have no idea why
the check was put there in the first place but it now only breaks
automatic actions on certain drives.
Note that this test was only effective when ide-cdrom was being used
as sr didn't mask CDC_PLAY_AUDIO according to the capabilities.

buffers on stack)
The commit 22a9189fd073db3d03a4cf8b8c098aa207602de1 (cdrom: use
kmalloced buffers instead of buffers on stack) is introduced to use
kmalloced buffers for packet commands to avoid stack corruption on non
coherent platforms.
SCSI cdrom uses blk_rq_map_kern, which properly avoids DMA on the
stack by using the bounce buffers. IDE cdrom also has the mechnism to
avoids DMA on the stack. So we don't need this extra complexitiy in
cdrom.c, such as allocating just 8 bytes. The lower layers can handle
it.

blk_get_request initializes rq->cmd (rq_init does) so the users don't
need to do that.
The purpose of this patch is to remove sizeof(rq->cmd) and &rq->cmd,
as a preparation for large command support, which changes rq->cmd from
the static array to a pointer. sizeof(rq->cmd) will not make sense and
&rq->cmd won't work.

If cdrom commands are issued to a scsi drive in most cases the buffer will be
filled via dma. This leads to bad stack corruption on non coherent platforms,
because the buffers are neither cache line aligned nor is the size a multiple
of the cache line size. Using kmalloced buffers avoids this.

bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl
commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk
arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't
have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to
scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so
it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

There is no need for open files in /proc/sys/XXX to hold a reference count on
the module that provides the file to prevent module unload races. While there
is code active in the module p->used in the sysctl_table_header is
incremented, preventing the sysctl from being unregisted. Once the sysctl is
unregistered it cannot be found. Open files are also not a problem as they
revalidate the sysctl information and bump p->used before accessing module
code.
So setting de->owner is unnecessary, makes for a bad example and gets in my
way of removing ctl_table->de.

It's a known fact that Windows times out commands after 7 seconds, so
drives generally try and respond if they can before that happens. We
default to 5 seconds, which sometimes is a bit too short.
Jeremy Higdon reported here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/1/145
that his drive takes longer than 5 seconds for a "read track
information" command, later confirming that it is about 6.7 seconds.
So just do the sane thing and change the default command timeout to 7
seconds to avoid other surprises.

The blk_rq_unmap_user() API is not very nice. It expects the caller to
know that rq->bio has to be reset to the original bio, and it will
silently do nothing if that is not done. Instead make it explicit that
we need to pass in the first bio, by expecting a bio argument.
