[PATCH v2 0/4] nvme: protect against possible request reference after completion

[Sagi Grimberg]

Nothing in nvme protects against referencing a request after it was completed.
For example, in case a buggy controller sends a completion twice for the same
request, the host can access and modify a request that was already completed.

At best, this will cause a panic, but on the worst case, this can cause a silent
data corruption if the request was already reused and executed by the time
we reference it.

The nvme command_id is an opaque that we simply placed the request tag thus far.
To protect against a access after completion, we introduce a generation counter
to the upper 4-bits of the command_id that will increment every invocation and
be validated upon the reception of a completion. This will limit the maximum
queue depth to be effectively 4095, but we hardly ever use such long queues
(in fabrics the maximum is already 1024).

Changes from v1:
- lift param_set_uint_minmax and reuse it
- simplify initialization in patch 3/4

Sagi Grimberg (4):
  params: lift param_set_uint_minmax to common code
  nvme-pci: limit maximum queue depth to 4095
  nvme-tcp: don't check blk_mq_tag_to_rq when receiving pdu data
  nvme: code command_id with a genctr for use-after-free validation
