When snapshots are created using 'p' instead of 'P' as the exception store type, the device-mapper table loading fails. This patch makes the code case insensitive as intended and fixes some regressions reported with device-mapper snapshots.

Use i_size_read() instead of reading i_size. If someone changes the size of the device simultaneously, i_size_read is guaranteed to return a valid value (either the old one or the new one). i_size can return some intermediate invalid value (on 32-bit computers with 64-bit i_size, the reads to both halves of i_size can be interleaved with updates to i_size, resulting in garbage being returned).

A bio that has two or more vector entries, size less than or equal to page size, that crosses a stripe boundary of an underlying md device is accepted by device mapper (it conforms to all its limits) but not by the underlying device. The fix is: If device mapper selects the one-page maximum request size, it also needs to set its own q->merge_bvec_fn to reject any bios with multiple vector entries that span more pages. The problem was discovered in the following scenario: * MD - RAID-0 * LV on the top of it (raid1, snapshot or striped with chunk size/stripe larger than RAID-0 stripe) * one of the logical volumes is exported to xen domU * inside xen domU it is partitioned, the key point is that the partition must be unaligned on page boundary (fdisk normally aligns the partition to 63 sectors which will trigger it) * install the system on the partitioned disk in domU This causes I/O failures in dom0.

The commit fe9cf30e moves dm table event submission from kmultipath queue to kernel kevent queue to avoid a deadlock. There is a possibility of race condition because kevent queue is not flushed in the multipath destructor. The scenario is: - some event happens and is queued to keventd - keventd thread is delayed due to scheuling latency or some other work - multipath device is destroyed - keventd now attempts to process work_struct that is residing in already released memory. The patch flushes the keventd queue in multipath constructor. I've already fixed similar bug in dm-raid1.

If the code can't handle allocation failures, use __GFP_NOFAIL so that in case of memory pressure the allocator will retry indefinitely and won't return NULL which would cause a crash in the function. This is still not a correct fix, it may cause a classic deadlock when memory manager waits for I/O being done and I/O waits for some free memory. I/O code shouldn't allocate any memory. But in this case it probably doesn't matter much in practice, people usually do not swap on RAID.

Fixed a problem affecting reinstatement of passive paths. Before we moved the hardware handler from dm to SCSI, it performed a pg_init for a path group and didn't maintain any state about each path in hardware handler code. But in SCSI dh, such state is now maintained, as we want to fail I/O early on a path if it is not the active path. All the hardware handlers have a state now and set to active or some form of inactive. They have prep_fn() which uses this state to fail the I/O without it ever being sent to the device. So in effect when dm-multipath calls scsi_dh_activate(), activate is sent to only one path and the "state" of that path is changed appropriately to "active" while other paths in the same path group are never changed as they never got an "activate". In order make sure all the paths in a path group gets their state set properly when a pg_init happens, we need to call scsi_dh_activate() on all paths in a path group. Doing this at the hardware handler layer is not a good option as we want the multipath layer to define the relationship between path and path groups and not the hardware handler. Attached patch sends an "activate" on each path in a path group when a path group is switched. It also sends an activate when a path is reinstated.

When specifying a different hardware handler via multipath features we should be able to override the built-in defaults. The problem here is the hardware table from scsi_dh is compiled in and cannot be changed from userland. The multipath.conf OTOH is purely user-defined and, what's more, the user might have a valid reason for modifying it. (EG EMC Clariion can well be run in PNR mode even though ALUA is active, or the user might want to try ALUA on any as-of-yet unknown devices) So _not_ allowing multipath to override the device handler setting will just add to the confusion and makes error tracking even more difficult.

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz flags to handle_mm_fault(). All callers have been (mechanically) converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY when that support is added.

Linus Torvalds authored
The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set flags like "you can return a retry error" etc. And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the 'write_access' boolean around. This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags' variable instead. The 'write_access' calling convention still exists for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

31a985f "ipc: use __ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION in ipc/util.h" would choose the implementation of ipc_parse_version() based on a symbol defined in <asm/unistd.h>. But it failed to also include this header and thus broke IPC_64-passing 32-bit userspace because the flag wasn't masked out properly anymore and the command not understood. Include <linux/unistd.h> to give the architecture a chance to ask for the no-no-op ipc_parse_version().

Some hosts (hardware configurations, or particular SD/MMC slots) may not support 4-bit bus. For example, on MPC8569E-MDS boards we can switch between serial (1-bit only) and nibble (4-bit) modes, thought we have to disable more peripherals to work in 4-bit mode. Along with some small core changes, this patch modifies sdhci-of driver, so that now it looks for "sdhci,1-bit-only" property in the device-tree, and if specified we enable a proper quirk.

The selected 4930G model seemed to keep the subwoofer 'tuba' function from operating correctly. Removing the existing PCI ID match made this work again, but it was mapped to 'Side' instead of to LFE as one would expect. This attempts to enable all functionality and keep the amount of available mixer sliders low. Any slider that had no audible effect on the output audio has been removed, and as such EAPD is not currently enabled.

The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see commit 7f818906: "x86: don't use 'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy about virtual address checking. So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual addresses: - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space. - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more obvious when it transforms a file offset into a (kernel-half) virtual address. - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX. This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this. So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we didn't, we'd have the address space hole).
