-------------------------------------------
Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are allowed. We will make filesystems use this flag for used devices.
Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and thus prevent kernel crashes.
Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to mounted block devices can set this option for hardening.

+config BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED + bool "Allow writing to mounted block devices" + default y + help + When a block device is mounted, writing to its buffer cache is very + likely going to cause filesystem corruption. It is also rather easy to + crash the kernel in this way since the filesystem has no practical way + of detecting these writes to buffer cache and verifying its metadata + integrity. However there are some setups that need this capability + like running fsck on read-only mounted root device, modifying some + features on mounted ext4 filesystem, and similar. If you say N, the + kernel will prevent processes from writing to block devices that are + mounted by filesystems which provides some more protection from runaway + privileged processes and generally makes it much harder to crash + filesystem drivers. Note however that this does not prevent + underlying device(s) from being modified by other means, e.g. by + directly submitting SCSI commands or through access to lower layers of + storage stack. If in doubt, say Y.
