block: propagate partition scanning errors to the BLKRRPART ioctl

Commit 4601b4b130de ("block: reopen the device in blkdev_reread_part")
lost the propagation of I/O errors from the low-level read of the
partition table to the user space caller of the BLKRRPART.

Apparently some user space relies on, so restore the propagation. This
isn't exactly pretty as other block device open calls explicitly do not
are about these errors, so add a new BLK_OPEN_STRICT_SCAN to opt into
the error propagation.

fs,block: yield devices early

Currently a device is only really released once the umount returns to
userspace due to how file closing works. That ultimately could cause
an old umount assumption to be violated that concurrent umount and mount
don't fail. So an exclusively held device with a temporary holder should
be yielded before the filesystem is gone. Add a helper that allows
callers to do that. This also allows us to remove the two holder ops
that Linus wasn't excited about.

block: count BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers

The original changes in v6.8 do allow for a block device to be reopened
with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES provided the same holder is used as per
bdev_may_open(). I think this has a bug.

The first opener @f1 of that block device will set bdev->bd_writers to
-1. The second opener @f2 using the same holder will pass the check in
bdev_may_open() that bdev->bd_writers must not be greater than zero.

The first opener @f1 now closes the block device and in bdev_release()
will end up calling bdev_yield_write_access() which calls
bdev_writes_blocked() and sets bdev->bd_writers to 0 again.

Now @f2 holds a file to that block device which was opened with
exclusive write access but bdev->bd_writers has been reset to 0.

So now @f3 comes along and succeeds in opening the block device with
BLK_OPEN_WRITE betraying @f2's request to have exclusive write access.

This isn't a practical issue yet because afaict there's no codepath
inside the kernel that reopenes the same block device with
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES but it will be if there is.

Fix this by counting the number of BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers. So
we only allow writes again once all BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers are
done.

block: handle BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES correctly

Last kernel release we introduce CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED. By
default this option is set. When it is set the long-standing behavior
of being able to write to mounted block devices is enabled.

But in order to guard against unintended corruption by writing to the
block device buffer cache CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED can be turned
off. In that case it isn't possible to write to mounted block devices
anymore.

A filesystem may open its block devices with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES
which disallows concurrent BLK_OPEN_WRITE access. When we still had the
bdev handle around we could recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES because
the mode was passed around. Since we managed to get rid of the bdev
handle we changed that logic to recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES based
on whether the file was opened writable and writes to that block device
are blocked. That logic doesn't work because we do allow
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES to be specified without BLK_OPEN_WRITE.

Fix the detection logic and use an FMODE_* bit. We could've also abused
O_EXCL as an indicator that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES has been requested.
For userspace open paths O_EXCL will never be retained but for internal
opens where we open files that are never installed into a file
descriptor table this is fine. But it would be a gamble that this
doesn't cause bugs. Note that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES is an internal
only flag that cannot directly be raised by userspace. It is implicitly
raised during mounting.

Passes xftests and blktests with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED set and
unset.

fs,block: get holder during claim

Now that we open block devices as files we need to deal with the
realities that closing is a deferred operation. An operation on the
block device such as e.g., freeze, thaw, or removal that runs
concurrently with umount, tries to acquire a stable reference on the
holder. The holder might already be gone though. Make that reliable by
grabbing a passive reference to the holder during bdev_open() and
releasing it during bdev_release().

bdev: open block device as files

Add two new helpers to allow opening block devices as files.
This is not the final infrastructure. This still opens the block device
before opening a struct a file. Until we have removed all references to
struct bdev_handle we can't switch the order:

* Introduce blk_to_file_flags() to translate from block specific to
flags usable to pen a new file.
* Introduce bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}().
* Introduce temporary sb_bdev_handle() helper to retrieve a struct
bdev_handle from a block device file and update places that directly
reference struct bdev_handle to rely on it.
* Don't count block device openes against the number of open files. A
bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}() file is never installed into any
file descriptor table.

One idea that came to mind was to use kernel_tmpfile_open() which
would require us to pass a path and it would then call do_dentry_open()
going through the regular fops->open::blkdev_open() path. But then we're
back to the problem of routing block specific flags such as
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES through the open path and would have to waste
FMODE_* flags every time we add a new one. With this we can avoid using
a flag bit and we have more leeway in how we open block devices from
bdev_open_by_{dev,path}().

block: Add config option to not allow writing to mounted devices

Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more and
more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a mounted
filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do nothing
about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a kernel cmdline
argument which controls whether other writeable opens to block devices
open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are allowed. We will make
filesystems use this flag for used devices.

Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the particular
block device's page cache by other writers. The actual device content
can still be modified by other means - e.g. by issuing direct scsi
commands, by doing writes through devices lower in the storage stack
(e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are involved) etc. But blocking
direct modifications of the block device page cache is enough to give
filesystems a chance to perform data validation when loading data from
the underlying storage and thus prevent kernel crashes.

Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
mounted block devices can set this option for hardening.

disk->open_mutex -> sb->s_umount lock ordering which is counterintuitive
(usually we grab higher level (e.g. filesystem) locks first and lower
level (e.g. block layer) locks later) and indeed makes lockdep complain
about possible locking cycles whenever we open a block device while
holding sb->s_umount semaphore. Implement a function
bdev_super_lock_shared() which safely transitions from holding
bdev->bd_holder_lock to holding sb->s_umount on alive superblock without
introducing the problematic lock dependency. We use this function
fs_bdev_sync() and fs_bdev_mark_dead().
