thanks for the details. Maybe fix from my view is, that the check in function mmc_blk_ioctl(), should move to respective function mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd and mmc_blk_ioctl_multi_cmd. if ((!capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO)) || (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)) return -EPERM; I think Ulf Hansson can take a final call. -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Lin [mailto:shawn.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 07, 2016 12:47 PM To: Seshagiri Holi; Ulf Hansson Cc: shawn.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; shawn.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Jonathan Hunter; linux-mmc Subject: Re: [PATCH] mmc: block: fix ABI regression of mmc_blk_ioctl On 2016/3/7 15:04, Seshagiri Holi wrote: > Hi Shawn, > I am not sure how why blkdev_roset is iocl function call is landing in mmc_blk_ioctl.

Then the code will continue to work. But commit: a5f5774c55a2 ("mmc: block: Add new ioctl to send multi commands") changes the behaviour to check the cmd(BLKROSET) with CAP_SYS_RAWIO firstly. So blkdev_ioctl finally get -EPERM instead of -EINVAL. So the result you can find: remount of /system failed; couldn't make block device writable: Operation not permitted openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/block/platform/ff420000.dwmmc/by-name/system", O_RDONLY) = 3 ioctl(3, BLKROSET, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) > > -----Original Message----- > From: Shawn Lin [mailto:shawn.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, March 07, 2016 11:54 AM > To: Ulf Hansson > Cc: Seshagiri Holi; Jonathan Hunter; Shawn Lin; > stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; #@263.net; 4.4.x@xxxxxxx > Subject: [PATCH] mmc: block: fix ABI regression of mmc_blk_ioctl > > We should return -EINVAL if cmd is not MMC_IOC_CMD or MMC_IOC_MULTI_CMD, otherwise blkdev_roset will return -EPERM. > > Android-adb calls make_block_device_writable with ioctl(BLKROSET), which will return error, make remount failed: > remount of /system failed; > couldn't make block device writable: Operation not permitted > > openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/block/platform/ff420000.dwmmc/by-name/system", > O_RDONLY) = 3 ioctl(3, BLKROSET, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not > permitted) > > Fixes: a5f5774c55a2 ("mmc: block: Add new ioctl to send multi > commands") > Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 4.4.x > Signed-off-by: Shawn Lin <shawn.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > > drivers/mmc/card/block.c | 3 +++ > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/mmc/card/block.c b/drivers/mmc/card/block.c index > 47bc87d..170f099 100644 > --- a/drivers/mmc/card/block.c > +++ b/drivers/mmc/card/block.c > @@ -688,6 +688,9 @@ cmd_err: > static int mmc_blk_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, > unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) > { > + if (cmd != MMC_IOC_CMD && cmd != MMC_IOC_MULTI_CMD) > + return -EINVAL; > + > /* > * The caller must have CAP_SYS_RAWIO, and must be calling this on the > * whole block device, not on a partition.
