Jason Cai (Xiang Feng) af4a3fafe5 dm thin: add sanity checks to thin-pool and external snapshot creation
[ Upstream commit 70de2cbda8 ]

Invoking dm_get_device() twice on the same device path with different
modes is dangerous.  Because in that case, upgrade_mode() will alloc a
new 'dm_dev' and free the old one, which may be referenced by a previous
caller.  Dereferencing the dangling pointer will trigger kernel NULL
pointer dereference.

The following two cases can reproduce this issue.  Actually, they are
invalid setups that must be disallowed, e.g.:

1. Creating a thin-pool with read_only mode, and the same device as
both metadata and data.

dmsetup create thinp --table \
    "0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdb /dev/vdb 128 0 1 read_only"

2. Creating a external snapshot using the same thin-pool device.

dmsetup create thinp --table \
    "0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdc /dev/vdb 128 0 2 ignore_discard"
dmsetup message /dev/mapper/thinp 0 "create_thin 0"
dmsetup create snap --table \

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
