Commit c140e1c4 ("dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists") introduced the use of an rculist for all active thin devices. The use of rcu_read_lock() in process_deferred_bios() can result in a BUG if a dm_bio_prison_cell must be allocated as a side-effect of bio_detain(): BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mempool.c:203 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 6, name: kworker/u8:0 3 locks held by kworker/u8:0/6: #0: ("dm-" "thin"){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550 #1: ((&pool->worker)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550 #2: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff816360b5>] do_worker+0x5/0x4d0 We can't process deferred bios with the rcu lock held, since dm_bio_prison_cell allocation may block if the bio-prison's cell mempool is exhausted. To fix: - Introduce a refcount and completion field to each thin_c - Add thin_get/put methods for adjusting the refcount. If the refcount hits zero then the completion is triggered. - Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c - When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu lock is held. - After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that thin. - When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.

Commit c140e1c4 ("dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists") incorrectly stopped disabling irqs when taking the pool's spinlock. Irqs must be disabled when taking the pool's spinlock otherwise a thread could spin_lock(), then get interrupted to service thin_endio() in interrupt context, which would then deadlock in spin_lock_irqsave().

When suspending a cache the policy is walked and the individual policy hints written to the metadata via sync_metadata(). This led to this lock order: policy->lock cache_metadata->root_lock When loading the cache target the policy is populated while the metadata lock is held: cache_metadata->root_lock policy->lock Fix this potential lock-inversion (ABBA) deadlock in sync_metadata() by ensuring the cache_metadata root_lock is held whilst all the hints are written, rather than being repeatedly locked while policy->lock is held (as was the case with each callout that policy_walk_mappings() made to the old save_hint() method). Found by turning on the CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING ("Lock debugging: prove locking correctness") build option. However, it is not clear how the LOCKDEP reported paths can lead to a deadlock since the two paths, suspending a target and loading a target, never occur at the same time. But that doesn't mean the same lock-inversion couldn't have occurred elsewhere. Reported-by:Marian Csontos <mcsontos@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

A thin-pool will allocate blocks using FIFO order for all thin devices which share the thin-pool. Because of this simplistic allocation the thin-pool's space can become fragmented quite easily; especially when multiple threads are requesting blocks in parallel. Sort each thin device's deferred_bio_list based on logical sector to help reduce fragmentation of the thin-pool's ondisk layout. The following tables illustrate the realized gains/potential offered by sorting each thin device's deferred_bio_list. An "io size"-sized random read of the device would result in "seeks/io" fragments being read, with an average "distance/seek" between each fragment. Data was written to a single thin device using multiple threads via iozone (8 threads, 64K for both the block_size and io_size). unsorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.013 11m 64k 0.065 11m 256k 0.274 10m 1m 1.109 10m 4m 4.411 10m 16m 17.097 11m 64m 60.055 13m 256m 148.798 25m 1g 809.929 21m sorted: io size seeks/io distance/seek -------------------------------------- 4k 0.000 0b 16k 0.000 1g 64k 0.001 1g 256k 0.003 1g 1m 0.011 1g 4m 0.045 1g 16m 0.181 1g 64m 0.747 1011m 256m 3.299 1g 1g 14.373 1g Signed-off-by:

The thin-pool previously only had a single deferred_bios list that would collect bios for all thin devices in the pool. Split this per-pool deferred_bios list out to per-thin deferred_bios_list -- doing so enables increased parallelism when processing deferred bios. And now that each thin device has it's own deferred_bios_list we can sort all bios in the list using logical sector. The requeue code in error handling path is also cleaner as a side-effect.

process_queued_ios() has served 3 functions: 1) select pg and pgpath if none is selected 2) start pg_init if requested 3) dispatch queued IOs when pg is ready Basically, a call to queue_work(process_queued_ios) can be replaced by dm_table_run_md_queue_async(), which runs request queue and ends up calling map_io(), which does 1), 2) and 3). Exception is when !pg_ready() (which means either pg_init is running or requested), then multipath_busy() prevents map_io() being called from request_fn. If pg_init is running, it should be ok as long as pg_init_done() does the right thing when pg_init is completed, I.e.: restart pg_init if !pg_ready() or call dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to kick map_io(). If pg_init is requested, we have to make sure the request is detected and pg_init will be started. pg_init is requested in 3 places: a) __choose_pgpath() in map_io() b) __choose_pgpath() in multipath_ioctl() c) pg_init retry in pg_init_done() a) is ok because map_io() calls __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). b) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). c) needs a call to __pg_init_all_paths(), which does 2). So this patch removes process_queued_ios() and ensures that __pg_init_all_paths() is called at the appropriate locations. Signed-off-by:

There is no reason why multipath needs to queue requests internally for queue_if_no_path or pg_init; we should rather push them back onto the request queue. And while we're at it we can simplify the conditional statement in map_io() to make it easier to read. Since mpath no longer does internal queuing of I/O the table info no longer emits the internal queue_size. Instead it displays 1 if queuing is being used or 0 if it is not. Signed-off-by:

Replace rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL). The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL). Signed-off-by:

Device mapper uses the bio structure's bi_private field as a pointer to dm_target_io or dm_rq_clone_bio_info. But a bio structure is embedded in the dm_target_io and dm_rq_clone_bio_info structures, so the pointer to the structure that contains the bio can be found with the container_of() macro.

In theory copying the space map root can fail, but in practice it never does because we're careful to check what size buffer is needed. But make certain we're able to copy the space map roots before locking the superblock. Signed-off-by:

Joe Thornber authored
The persistent-data library used by dm-thin, dm-cache, etc is transactional. If anything goes wrong, such as an io error when writing new metadata or a power failure, then we roll back to the last transaction. Atomicity when committing a transaction is achieved by: a) Never overwriting data from the previous transaction. b) Writing the superblock last, after all other metadata has hit the disk. This commit and the following commit ("dm: take care to copy the space map roots before locking the superblock") fix a bug associated with (b). When committing it was possible for the superblock to still be written in spite of an io error occurring during the preceeding metadata flush. With these commits we're careful not to take the write lock out on the superblock until after the metadata flush has completed. Change the transaction manager's semantics for dm_tm_commit() to assume all data has been flushed _before_ the single superblock that is passed in. As a prerequisite, split the block manager's block unlocking and flushing by simplifying dm_bm_flush_and_unlock() to dm_bm_flush(). Now the unlocking must be done separately. This issue was discovered by forcing io errors at the crucial time using dm-flakey. Signed-off-by: -

If the discard block size is larger than the cache block size we will not properly quiesce IO to a region that is about to be discarded. This results in a race between a cache migration where no copy is needed, and a write to an adjacent cache block that's within the same large discard block. Workaround this by limiting the discard_block_size to cache_block_size. Also limit the max_discard_sectors to cache_block_size. A more comprehensive fix that introduces range locking support in the bio_prison and proper quiescing of a discard range that spans multiple cache blocks is already in development. Reported-by:

Joe Thornber authored
dm-era is a target that behaves similar to the linear target. In addition it keeps track of which blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an 'era'. Each era target instance maintains the current era as a monotonically increasing 32-bit counter. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot. dm-era is primarily expected to be paired with the dm-cache target.

The VXLAN neigh_reduce() code is completely non-functional since check-in. Specific errors: 1) The original code drops all packets with a multicast destination address, even though neighbor solicitations are sent to the solicited-node address, a multicast address. The code after this check was never run. 2) The neighbor table lookup used the IPv6 header destination, which is the solicited node address, rather than the target address from the neighbor solicitation. So neighbor lookups would always fail if it got this far. Also for L3MISSes. 3) The code calls ndisc_send_na(), which does a send on the tunnel device. The context for neigh_reduce() is the transmit path, vxlan_xmit(), where the host or a bridge-attached neighbor is trying to transmit a neighbor solicitation. To respond to it, the tunnel endpoint needs to do a *receive* of the appropriate neighbor advertisement. Doing a send, would only try to send the advertisement, encapsulated, to the remote destinations in the fdb -- hosts that definitely did not do the corresponding solicitation. 4) The code uses the tunnel endpoint IPv6 forwarding flag to determine the isrouter flag in the advertisement. This has nothing to do with whether or not the target is a router, and generally won't be set since the tunnel endpoint is bridging, not routing, traffic. The patch below creates a proxy neighbor advertisement to respond to neighbor solicitions as intended, providing proper IPv6 support for neighbor reduction. Signed-off-by:

Christian Riesch says: ==================== net: davinci_emac: Fix interrupt requests and error handling since commit 6892b41d (Linux 3.11) the davinci_emac driver is broken. After doing ifconfig down, ifconfig up, requesting the interrupts for the driver fails. The interface remains dead until the board is rebooted. The first patch in this patchset reverts commit 6892b41d partially and makes the driver useable again. During the work on the first patch, a number of bugs in the error handling of the driver's ndo_open code were found. The second patch fixes these bugs. I believe the first patch meets the rules for stable kernels, I therefore added the stable tag to this patch. The second patch is just cleanup, the code that is fixed by this patch is only executed in case of an error. ==================== Signed-off-by:

If an error occurs during the initialization in emac_dev_open() (the driver's ndo_open function), interrupts, DMA descriptors etc. must be freed. The current rollback code is buggy in several ways. 1) Freeing the interrupts. The current code will not free all interrupts that were requested by the driver. Furthermore, the code tries to do a platform_get_resource(priv->pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, -1) in its last iteration. This patch fixes these bugs. 2) Wrong order of err: and rollback: labels. If the setup of the PHY in the code fails, the interrupts that have been requested before are not freed: request irq if requesting irqs fails, goto rollback setup phy if phy setup fails, goto err return 0 rollback: free irqs err: This patch brings the code into the correct order. 3) The code calls napi_enable() and emac_int_enable(), but does not undo both in case of an error. This patch adds calls of emac_int_disable() and napi_disable() to the rollback code. 4) RX DMA descriptors are not freed in case of an error: Right before requesting the irqs, the function creates DMA descriptors for the RX channel. These RX descriptors are never freed when we jump to either rollback or err. This patch adds code for freeing the DMA descriptors in the case of an initialization error. This required a modification of cpdma_ctrl_stop() in davinci_cpdma.c: We must be able to call this function to free the DMA descriptors while the DMA channels are in IDLE state (before cpdma_ctlr_start() was called). Tested on a custom board with the Texas Instruments AM1808. Signed-off-by:Christian Riesch <christian.riesch@omicron.at> Signed-off-by:

In commit 6892b41d Author: Lad, Prabhakar <prabhakar.csengg@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jun 25 21:24:51 2013 +0530 net: davinci: emac: Convert to devm_* api the call of request_irq is replaced by devm_request_irq and the call of free_irq is removed. But since interrupts are requested in emac_dev_open, doing ifconfig up/down on the board requests the interrupts again each time, causing devm_request_irq to fail. The interface is dead until the device is rebooted. This patch reverts said commit partially: It changes the driver back to use request_irq instead of devm_request_irq, puts free_irq back in place, but keeps the remaining changes of the original patch.

In arch_cpu_idle() we must enable %pil based interrupts before potentially invoking the hypervisor cpu yield call. As per the Hypervisor API documentation for cpu_yield: Interrupts which are blocked by some mechanism other that pstate.ie (for example %pil) are not guaranteed to cause a return from this service. It seems that only first generation Niagara chips are hit by this bug. My best guess is that later chips implement this in hardware and wake up anyways from %pil events, whereas in first generation chips the yield is implemented completely in hypervisor code and requires %pil to be enabled in order to wake properly from this call.
