4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eryu Guan <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 6b136a24b05c81a24e0b648a4bd938bcd0c4f69e ] Attributes that only implement .seq_ops are read-only, any write to them should be rejected. But currently kernel would crash when writing to such debugfs entries, e.g. chmod +w /sys/kernel/debug/block/<dev>/requeue_list echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/block/<dev>/requeue_list chmod -w /sys/kernel/debug/block/<dev>/requeue_list Fix it by returning -EPERM in blk_mq_debugfs_write() when writing to such attributes.
