Remove the REQ_SYNC flag to improve write throughput when writing to the origin with a snapshot on the same device (using the CFQ I/O scheduler). Sequential write throughput (chunksize of 4k, 32k, 512k) unpatched: 8.5, 8.6, 9.3 MB/s patched: 15.2, 18.5, 17.5 MB/s Snapshot exception reallocations are triggered by writes that are usually async, so mark the associated dm_io_request as async as well. This helps when using the CFQ I/O scheduler because it has separate queues for sync and async I/O. Async is optimized for throughput; sync for latency. With this change we're consciously favoring throughput over latency.

Revert commit 224cb3e9 dm: Call blk_abort_queue on failed paths Multipath began to use blk_abort_queue() to allow for lower latency path deactivation. This was found to cause list corruption: the cmd gets blk_abort_queued/timedout run on it and the scsi eh somehow is able to complete and run scsi_queue_insert while scsi_request_fn is still trying to process the request. https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2010-November/msg00085.htmlSigned-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Anderson <andmike@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org

No longer needlessly hold md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex when changing the size of a DM device. This additional locking is unnecessary because i_size_write() is already protected by the existing critical section in dm_swap_table(). DM already has a reference on md->bdev so the associated bd_inode may be changed without lifetime concerns. A negative side-effect of having held md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex was that a concurrent DM device resize and flush (via fsync) would deadlock. Dropping md->bdev->bd_inode->i_mutex eliminates this potential for deadlock. The following reproducer no longer deadlocks: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2009-July/msg00284.htmlSigned-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org

This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code. mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for kernel decompression. It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to keep the code simpler. The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64. Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number. With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd; XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes. The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel. Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be increased (30 KiB is enough). The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by XZ Utils. These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>. It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too. Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel: - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. - Integrity check support (CRC32) - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower. This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module (xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool, and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ decompressor e.g. for Squashfs. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

Callback-to-callback decompression mode is used for initrd (not initramfs). The LZO wrapper is broken for this use case for two reasons: - The argument validation is needlessly too strict by requiring that "posp" is non-NULL when "fill" is non-NULL. - The buffer handling code didn't work at all for this use case. I tested with LZO-compressed kernel, initramfs, initrd, and corrupt (truncated) initramfs and initrd images. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

The return value of flush() is not checked in unlzo(). This means that the decompressor won't stop even if the caller doesn't want more data.

The return value of wr->flush() is not checked in write_byte(). This means that the decompressor won't stop even if the caller doesn't want more data. This can happen e.g. with corrupt LZMA-compressed initramfs. Returning the error quickly allows the user to see the error message quicker. There is a similar missing check for wr.flush() near the end of unlzma(). Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

Return value of rc->fill() is checked in rc_read() and error() is called when needed, but then the code continues as if nothing had happened. rc_read() is a void function and it's on the top of performance critical call stacks, so propagating the error code via return values doesn't sound like the best fix. It seems better to check rc->buffer_size (which holds the return value of rc->fill()) in the main loop. It does nothing bad that the code runs a little with unknown data after a failed rc->fill(). This fixes an infinite loop in initramfs decompression if the LZMA-compressed initramfs image is corrupt. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

Validation of header.pos calls error() but doesn't make the function return to indicate an error to the caller. Instead the decoding is attempted with invalid header.pos. This fixes it.

set_error_fn() has become a useless complication after c1e7c3ae ("bzip2/lzma/gzip: pre-boot malloc doesn't return NULL on failure") fixed the use of error() in malloc(). Only decompress_unlzma.c had some use for it and that was easy to change too. This also gets rid of the static function pointer "error", which should have been marked as __initdata.
