Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence. - pid 1 becomes a zombie - setns(thepidns), fork,... - reaping pid 1. - The injected processes exiting. Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and instead following a stale pointer. That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate. Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid namespace is reaped. Pointed-out-by:

The sequence: unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) clone(CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_SIGHAND|CLONE_VM) Creates a new process in the new pid namespace without setting pid_ns->child_reaper. After forking this results in a NULL pointer dereference. Avoid this and other nonsense scenarios that can show up after creating a new pid namespace with unshare by adding a new check in copy_prodcess. Pointed-out-by:

This reverts commit 79f77bf9. This is obviously wrong, and I have no idea how I missed seeing the warning in testing: I must just not have looked at the right logs. The caller bumps rq_resused/rq_next_page, so it will always be hit on a large enough read. Reported-by:

Eliminate struct map_info from dm-snap. map_info->ptr was used in dm-snap to indicate if the bio was tracked. If map_info->ptr was non-NULL, the bio was linked in tracked_chunk_hash. This patch removes the use of map_info->ptr. We determine if the bio was tracked based on hlist_unhashed(&c->node). If hlist_unhashed is true, the bio is not tracked, if it is false, the bio is tracked. Signed-off-by:

Don't use map_info any more in dm-raid1. map_info was used for writes to hold the region number. For this purpose we add a new field dm_bio_details to dm_raid1_bio_record. map_info was used for reads to hold a pointer to dm_raid1_bio_record (if the pointer was non-NULL, bio details were saved; if the pointer was NULL, bio details were not saved). We use dm_raid1_bio_record.details->bi_bdev for this purpose. If bi_bdev is NULL, details were not saved, if bi_bdev is non-NULL, details were saved. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target. Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by removing some per-target mempools. Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in dm_target. If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous. WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it. Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the specified extent. The dm thin target uses this. Signed-off-by:

WRITE SAME bios have a payload that contain a single page. When cloning WRITE SAME bios DM has no need to modify the bi_io_vec attributes (and doing so would be detrimental). DM need only alter the start and end of the WRITE SAME bio accordingly. Rather than duplicate __clone_and_map_discard, factor out a common function that is also used by __clone_and_map_write_same.

If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc() rather than vmalloc(). vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate page tables. In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times. On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%. This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc() was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.
