There's no point in calling radix_tree_preload() if preloading doesn't use more permissible GFP mask. Drop preloading from __blkg_lookup_create(). While at it, drop sparse locking annotation which no longer applies. v2: Vivek pointed out the odd preload usage. Instead of updating, just drop it.

Sometimes, warnings about ioctls to partition happen often enough that they form majority of the warnings in the kernel log and users complain. In some cases warnings are about ioctls such as SG_IO so it's not good to get rid of the warnings completely as they can ease debugging of userspace problems when ioctl is refused. Since I have seen warnings from lots of commands, including some proprietary userspace applications, I don't think disallowing the ioctls for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will happen in the near future if ever. So lets just stop warning for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO for which ioctl is allowed.

Commit 777eb1bf disconnects externally supplied queue_lock before blk_drain_queue(). Switching the lock would introduce lock unbalance because theads which have taken the external lock might unlock the internal lock in the during the queue drain. This patch mitigate this by disconnecting the lock after the queue draining since queue draining makes a lot of request_queue users go away. However, please note, this patch only makes the problem less likely to happen. Anyone who still holds a ref might try to issue a new request on a dead queue after the blk_cleanup_queue() finishes draining, the lock unbalance might still happen in this case. ===================================== [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] 3.4.0+ #288 Not tainted ------------------------------------- fio/17706 is trying to release lock (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock) at: [<ffffffff81329372>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by fio/17706: #0: (&(&vblk->lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffff81327f1a>] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250 stack backtrace: Pid: 17706, comm: fio Not tainted 3.4.0+ #288 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81329372>] ? blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 [<ffffffff810dea49>] print_unlock_inbalance_bug+0xf9/0x100 [<ffffffff810dfe4f>] lock_release_non_nested+0x1df/0x330 [<ffffffff811dae24>] ? dio_bio_end_aio+0x34/0xc0 [<ffffffff811d6935>] ? bio_check_pages_dirty+0x85/0xe0 [<ffffffff811daea1>] ? dio_bio_end_aio+0xb1/0xc0 [<ffffffff81329372>] ? blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 [<ffffffff81329372>] ? blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 [<ffffffff810e0079>] lock_release+0xd9/0x250 [<ffffffff81a74553>] _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x23/0x40 [<ffffffff81329372>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 [<ffffffff81328faa>] generic_make_request+0xca/0x100 [<ffffffff81329056>] submit_bio+0x76/0xf0 [<ffffffff8115470c>] ? set_page_dirty_lock+0x3c/0x60 [<ffffffff811d69e1>] ? bio_set_pages_dirty+0x51/0x70 [<ffffffff811dd1a8>] do_blockdev_direct_IO+0xbf8/0xee0 [<ffffffff811d8620>] ? blkdev_get_block+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff811dd4e5>] __blockdev_direct_IO+0x55/0x60 [<ffffffff811d8620>] ? blkdev_get_block+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff811d92e7>] blkdev_direct_IO+0x57/0x60 [<ffffffff811d8620>] ? blkdev_get_block+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8114c6ae>] generic_file_aio_read+0x70e/0x760 [<ffffffff810df7c5>] ? __lock_acquire+0x215/0x5a0 [<ffffffff811e9924>] ? aio_run_iocb+0x54/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8114bfa0>] ? grab_cache_page_nowait+0xc0/0xc0 [<ffffffff811e82cc>] aio_rw_vect_retry+0x7c/0x1e0 [<ffffffff811e8250>] ? aio_fsync+0x30/0x30 [<ffffffff811e9936>] aio_run_iocb+0x66/0x1a0 [<ffffffff811ea9b0>] do_io_submit+0x6f0/0xb80 [<ffffffff8134de2e>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3f [<ffffffff811eae50>] sys_io_submit+0x10/0x20 [<ffffffff81a7c9e9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Changes since v2: Update commit log to explain how the code is still broken even if we delay the lock switching after the drain.

After hot-unplug a stressed disk, I found that rl->wait[] is not empty while rl->count[] is empty and there are theads still sleeping on get_request after the queue cleanup. With simple debug code, I found there are exactly nr_sleep - nr_wakeup of theads in D state. So there are missed wakeup. $ dmesg | grep nr_sleep [ 52.917115] ---> nr_sleep=1046, nr_wakeup=873, delta=173 $ vmstat 1 1 173 0 712640 24292 96172 0 0 0 0 419 757 0 0 0 100 0 To quote Tejun: Ah, okay, freed_request() wakes up single waiter with the assumption that after the wakeup there will at least be one successful allocation which in turn will continue the wakeup chain until the wait list is empty - ie. waiter wakeup is dependent on successful request allocation happening after each wakeup. With queue marked dead, any woken up waiter fails the allocation path, so the wakeup chaining is lost and we're left with hung waiters. What we need is wake_up_all() after drain completion. This patch fixes the missed wakeup by waking up all the theads which are sleeping on wait queue after queue drain.

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

If the bitmap is an exact multiple of PAGE_SIZE, which means the visible capacity of the drbd device is an exact multiple of 128 MiB (for 4k page size), and bitmap compression (use-rle) is enabled (which became default with 8.4), and the very last bit is dirty and reported in an rle comressed bitmap packet, we ended up trying to kmap_atomic a page pointer that does not exist (bitmap->bm_pages[last index + 1]). bug introduced by: Date: Fri Jul 24 15:33:24 2009 +0200 set bits: optimize for complete last word, fix off-by-one-word corner case made effective by: Date: Thu Dec 16 00:32:38 2010 +0100 drbd: get rid of unused debug code Long time ago, we had paranoia code in the bitmap that allocated one extra word, assigned a magic value, and checked on every occasion that the magic value was still unchanged. That debug code is unused, the extra long word complicates code a bit. Get rid of it. No-one triggered this bug in the last few years, because a large subset of our userbase is unaffected: * typically the last few blocks of a device are not modified frequently, and remain unset * use-rle was disabled by default in drbd < 8.4 * those with slightly "odd" device sizes, or * drbd internal meta data (which will skew the device size slightly, thus makes it harder to have a bug relevant device size) Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@linbit.com> Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>

Part of the ring structure is the 'id' field which is under control of the frontend. The frontend stamps it with "some" value (this some in this implementation being a value less than BLK_RING_SIZE), and when it gets a response expects said value to be in the response structure. We have a check for the id field when spolling new requests but not when de-spolling responses. We also add an extra check in add_id_to_freelist to make sure that the 'struct request' was not NULL - as we cannot pass a NULL to __blk_end_request_all, otherwise that crashes (and all the operations that the response is dealing with end up with __blk_end_request_all). Lastly we also print the name of the operation that failed.

This reverts commit 5ceb9ce6. That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption issues that Dave Jones reported. The locking (or rather, absense there-of) is dubious, as is the use of the 'page' variable once it has been found to be outside the pageblock range. So revert it for now, we can re-visit this for 3.6. If we even need to: as Minchan Kim says, "The patch wasn't a bug fix and even test workload was very theoretical".

New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction. It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all. We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty(). But that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking", but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the common stat operations. The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this doesn't change the size. Some of our inode layout has historically been to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at least as important for layout, if not more. Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits" access stood out like a sore thumb. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available, set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying. If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a few seconds or even several minutes.

Move multipath structure's 'lock' and 'queue_size' members to eliminate two 4-byte holes. Also use a bit within a single unsigned int for each existing flag (saves 8-bytes). This allows future flags to be added without each consuming an unsigned int.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK reply. Both from Eric Dumazet. 2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA. 3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently. From Jason Wang. 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we see a CIPSO option. This isn't the right thing to do, we should simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options (if any). Fix from Paul Moore. 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel Apfelbaum. 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random memory. Fix from Jason Wang. 7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: fec_mpc52xx: fix timestamp filtering mcs7830: Implement link state detection e1000e: fix Rapid Start Technology support for i217 e1000: look into the page instead of skb->data for e1000_tbi_adjust_stats() r8169: call netif_napi_del at errpaths and at driver unload tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK packets tcp: do not create inetpeer on SYNACK message 8139cp/8139too: terminate the eeprom access with the right opmode 8139cp: set ring address before enabling receiver cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabled net: sock: validate data_len before allocating skb in sock_alloc_send_pskb() bql: Avoid possible inconsistent calculation. bql: Avoid unneeded limit decrement. bql: Fix POSDIFF() to integer overflow aware. net/mlx4_core: Fix obscure mlx4_cmd_box parameter in QUERY_DEV_CAP net/mlx4_core: Check port out-of-range before using in mlx4_slave_cap net/mlx4_core: Fixes for VF / Guest startup flow net/mlx4_en: Fix improper use of "port" parameter in mlx4_en_event net/mlx4_core: Fix number of EQs used in ICM initialisation net/mlx4_core: Fix the slave_id out-of-range test in mlx4_eq_int

Pull straggler x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "Three groups of patches: - EFI boot stub documentation and the ability to print error messages; - Removal for PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32 (obsolete interface which should never have been ported, and the port is broken and potentially dangerous.) - ftrace stack corruption fixes. I'm not super-happy about the technical implementation, but it is probably the least invasive in the short term. In the future I would like a single method for nesting the debug stack, however." * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32 x86, efi: Add EFI boot stub documentation x86, efi; Add EFI boot stub console support x86, efi: Only close open files in error path ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when calling lockdep x86: Allow nesting of the debug stack IDT setting x86: Reset the debug_stack update counter ftrace: Use breakpoint method to update ftrace caller ftrace: Synchronize variable setting with breakpoints

This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery. The main revert is d29f3ef3 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get reverted here. The list of reverted commits is: fde86d31 - tty: add lockdep annotations 8f6576ad - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace d3ca8b64 - pty: Fix lock inversion b1d679af - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup abcefe5f - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock() fd11b42e - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call d29f3ef3 - tty_lock: Localise the lock The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver that got removed in the meantime.

Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro. The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc had an explicit override to "unsigned short". Al didn't notice, and made both of them be the unsigned short. The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume() code, and leaving an extra parenthesis. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: powerpc: Fix size of st_nlink on 64bit * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: frv: Remove bogus closing parenthesis
