[PATCH v2 2/3] block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices

[Paolo Bonzini]

Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device.  This is well-known,
but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix permissions,
ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user needs to be
granted access only to part of the disk.

This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls; others
are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are actually sent.
In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.  Of course it
was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would have failed
with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in practice.  Still,
I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.

In principle, this restriction should include programs running
with CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2
and /dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities.  However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the ioctls.
Their actions will still be logged.

This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver.  That driver however
already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some ioctl; it could
be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for programs running with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
