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.

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.

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).

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. Remove the use of bi_private and use container_of() instead. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Remove dm_get_mapinfo() because no target uses it. Targets can allocate per-bio data using ti->per_bio_data_size, this is much more flexible than union map_info.

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.

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.

Discard block size not being equal to cache block size causes data corruption by erroneously avoiding migrations in issue_copy() because the discard state is being cleared for a group of cache blocks when it should not.

Mike Snitzer authored
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.

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.

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: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

Srikar Dronamraju reports that commit b0c29f79 ("futexes: Avoid taking the hb->lock if there's nothing to wake up") causes java threads getting stuck on futexes when runing specjbb on a power7 numa box. The cause appears to be that the powerpc spinlocks aren't using the same ticket lock model that we use on x86 (and other) architectures, which in turn result in the "spin_is_locked()" test in hb_waiters_pending() occasionally reporting an unlocked spinlock even when there are pending waiters. So this reinstates Davidlohr Bueso's original explicit waiter counting code, which I had convinced Davidlohr to drop in favor of figuring out the pending waiters by just using the existing state of the spinlock and the wait queue.

He supplied an elegant solution that uses __stringify() and also removes the need for the event_storage and event_storage_mutex and also cuts off a few K of overhead from the trace events" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.14-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Fix array size mismatch in format string

Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity: indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the migration entries that was temporarily inserted. The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree (good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages() range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range). remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race. The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this; but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

Commit 812e44dd ("ip6mr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl") reuses the function ip6mr_fill_mroute() to notify mfc events. But this function was used only for dump and thus was always setting the flag NLM_F_MULTI, which is wrong in case of a single notification. Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.
