linux/raid/md_p.h is using conditionals depending on endianess and fails with an error if neither of __BIG_ENDIAN, __LITTLE_ENDIAN or __BYTE_ORDER are defined, but it doesn't include any header which can define these constants. This make this header unusable alone. This patch adds a #include <asm/byteorder.h> at the beginning of this header to make it usable alone. This is needed to compile klibc on MIPS.

There is an iobarrier in raid1 because of contention between normal IO and resync IO. It suspends all normal IO when resync/recovery happens. However if normal IO is out side the resync window, there is no contention. So this patch changes the barrier mechanism to only block IO that could contend with the resync that is currently happening. We partition the whole space into five parts. |---------|-----------|------------|----------------|-------| start next_resync start_next_window end_window start + RESYNC_WINDOW = next_resync next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = start_next_window start_next_window + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE = end_window Firstly we introduce some concepts: 1 - RESYNC_WINDOW: For resync, there are 32 resync requests at most at the same time. A sync request is RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE(64*1024). So the RESYNC_WINDOW is 32 * RESYNC_BLOCK_SIZE, that is 2MB. 2 - NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE: the distance between next_resync and start_next_window. It also indicates the distance between start_next_window and end_window. It is currently 3 * RESYNC_WINDOW_SIZE but could be tuned if this turned out not to be optimal. 3 - next_resync: the next sector at which we will do sync IO. 4 - start: a position which is at most RESYNC_WINDOW before next_resync. 5 - start_next_window: a position which is NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond next_resync. Normal-io after this position doesn't need to wait for resync-io to complete. 6 - end_window: a position which is 2 * NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE beyond next_resync. This also doesn't need to wait, but is counted differently. 7 - current_window_requests: the count of normalIO between start_next_window and end_window. 8 - next_window_requests: the count of normalIO after end_window. NormalIO will be partitioned into four types: NormIO1: the end sector of bio is smaller or equal the start NormIO2: the start sector of bio larger or equal to end_window NormIO3: the start sector of bio larger or equal to start_next_window. NormIO4: the location between start_next_window and end_window |--------|-----------|--------------------|----------------|-------------| | start | next_resync | start_next_window | end_window | NormIO1 NormIO4 NormIO4 NormIO3 NormIO2 For NormIO1, we don't need any io barrier. For NormIO4, we used a similar approach to the original iobarrier mechanism. The normalIO and resyncIO must be kept separate. For NormIO2/3, we add two fields to struct r1conf: "current_window_requests" and "next_window_requests". They indicate the count of active requests in the two window. For these, we don't wait for resync io to complete. For resync action, if there are NormIO4s, we must wait for it. If not, we can proceed. But if resync action reaches start_next_window and current_window_requests > 0 (that is there are NormIO3s), we must wait until the current_window_requests becomes zero. When current_window_requests becomes zero, start_next_window also moves forward. Then current_window_requests will replaced by next_window_requests. There is a problem which when and how to change from NormIO2 to NormIO3. Only then can sync action progress. We add a field in struct r1conf "start_next_window". A: if start_next_window == MaxSector, it means there are no NormIO2/3. So start_next_window = next_resync + NEXT_NORMALIO_DISTANCE B: if current_window_requests == 0 && next_window_requests != 0, it means start_next_window move to end_window There is another problem which how to differentiate between old NormIO2(now it is NormIO3) and NormIO2. For example, there are many bios which are NormIO2 and a bio which is NormIO3. NormIO3 firstly completed, so the bios of NormIO2 became NormIO3. We add a field in struct r1bio "start_next_window". This is used to record the position conf->start_next_window when the call to wait_barrier() is made in make_request(). In allow_barrier(), we check the conf->start_next_window. If r1bio->stat_next_window == conf->start_next_window, it means there is no transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. If r1bio->start_next_window != conf->start_next_window, it mean there was a transition between NormIO2 and NormIO3. There can only have been one transition. So it only means the bio is old NormIO2. For one bio, there may be many r1bio's. So we make sure all the r1bio->start_next_window are the same value. If we met blocked_dev in make_request(), it must call allow_barrier and wait_barrier. So the former and the later value of conf->start_next_window will be change. If there are many r1bio's with differnet start_next_window, for the relevant bio, it depend on the last value of r1bio. It will cause error. To avoid this, we must wait for previous r1bios to complete. Signed-off-by: Jianpeng Ma <majianpeng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

raid1: Replace raise_barrier/lower_barrier with freeze_array/unfreeze_array when reconfiguring the array. We used to use raise_barrier to suspend normal IO while we reconfigure the array. However raise_barrier will soon only suspend some normal IO, not all. So we need something else. Change it to use freeze_array. But freeze_array not only suspends normal io, it also suspends resync io. For the place where call raise_barrier for reconfigure, it isn't a problem.

When raid5 recovery hits a fresh badblock, this badblock will flagged as unack badblock until md_update_sb() is called. But md_stop will take reconfig lock which means raid5d can't call md_update_sb() in md_check_recovery(), the badblock will always be unack, so raid5d thread enters an infinite loop and md_stop_write() can never stop sync_thread. This causes deadlock. To solve this, when STOP_ARRAY ioctl is issued and sync_thread is running, we need set md->recovery FROZEN and INTR flags and wait for sync_thread to stop before we (re)take reconfig lock. This requires that raid5 reshape_request notices MD_RECOVERY_INTR (which it probably should have noticed anyway) and stops waiting for a metadata update in that case.

We currently use kthread_should_stop() in various places in the sync/reshape code to abort early. However some places set MD_RECOVERY_INTR but don't immediately call md_reap_sync_thread() (and we will shortly get another one). When this happens we are relying on md_check_recovery() to reap the thread and that only happen when it finishes normally. So MD_RECOVERY_INTR must lead to a normal finish without the kthread_should_stop() test. So replace all relevant tests, and be more careful when the thread is interrupted not to acknowledge that latest step in a reshape as it may not be fully committed yet. Also add a test on MD_RECOVERY_INTR in the 'is_mddev_idle' loop so we don't wait have to wait for the speed to drop before we can abort. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

get_active_stripe() is the last place we have lock contention. It has two paths. One is stripe isn't found and new stripe is allocated, the other is stripe is found. The first path basically calls __find_stripe and init_stripe. It accesses conf->generation, conf->previous_raid_disks, conf->raid_disks, conf->prev_chunk_sectors, conf->chunk_sectors, conf->max_degraded, conf->prev_algo, conf->algorithm, the stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list. Except stripe_hashtbl and inactive_list, other fields are changed very rarely. With this patch, we split inactive_list and add new hash locks. Each free stripe belongs to a specific inactive list. Which inactive list is determined by stripe's lock_hash. Note, even a stripe hasn't a sector assigned, it has a lock_hash assigned. Stripe's inactive list is protected by a hash lock, which is determined by it's lock_hash too. The lock_hash is derivied from current stripe_hashtbl hash, which guarantees any stripe_hashtbl list will be assigned to a specific lock_hash, so we can use new hash lock to protect stripe_hashtbl list too. The goal of the new hash locks introduced is we can only use the new locks in the first path of get_active_stripe(). Since we have several hash locks, lock contention is relieved significantly. The first path of get_active_stripe() accesses other fields, since they are changed rarely, changing them now need take conf->device_lock and all hash locks. For a slow path, this isn't a problem. If we need lock device_lock and hash lock, we always lock hash lock first. The tricky part is release_stripe and friends. We need take device_lock first. Neil's suggestion is we put inactive stripes to a temporary list and readd it to inactive_list after device_lock is released. In this way, we add stripes to temporary list with device_lock hold and remove stripes from the list with hash lock hold. So we don't allow concurrent access to the temporary list, which means we need allocate temporary list for all participants of release_stripe. One downside is free stripes are maintained in their inactive list, they can't across between the lists. By default, we have total 256 stripes and 8 lists, so each list will have 32 stripes. It's possible one list has free stripe but other list hasn't. The chance should be rare because stripes allocation are even distributed. And we can always allocate more stripes for cache, several mega bytes memory isn't a big deal. This completely removes the lock contention of the first path of get_active_stripe(). It slows down the second code path a little bit though because we now need takes two locks, but since the hash lock isn't contended, the overhead should be quite small (several atomic instructions). The second path of get_active_stripe() (basically sequential write or big request size randwrite) still has lock contentions.

The various ->run routines of md personalities assume that the 'queue' has been initialised by the blk_set_stacking_limits() call in md_alloc(). However when the level is changed (by level_store()) the ->run routine for the new level is called for an array which has already had the stacking limits modified. This can result in incorrect final settings. So call blk_set_stacking_limits() before ->run in level_store(). A specific consequence of this bug is that it causes discard_granularity to be set incorrectly when reshaping a RAID4 to a RAID0. This is suitable for any -stable kernel since 3.3 in which blk_set_stacking_limits() was introduced.

There is a race between stop_two_cpus, and the global stop_cpus. It is possible for two CPUs to get their stopper functions queued "backwards" from one another, resulting in the stopper threads getting stuck, and the system hanging. This can happen because queuing up stoppers is not synchronized. This patch adds synchronization between stop_cpus (a rare operation), and stop_two_cpus.

1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read the 2nd page first. 2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines. 3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size. In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn. Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we do this only to catch the obvious mistakes. Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations. Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't know how many bytes were actually read anyway. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Commit aa59c53f "uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup xol_area" has a stupid typo, we need to setup t->utask->vaddr but the code wrongly uses current->utask. Even with this bug dup_xol_work() works "in practice", but only because get_unmapped_area(NULL, TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) likely returns the same address every time.

Merge tag 'ftrace-urgent-3.12-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull perf/ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt: "Dave Jones's trinity program was able to enable the function tracer from a normal user account via the perf syscall "perf_event_open()". When I was able to reproduce it with trinity, I was able to track down exactly how it happened. I discovered that the check for whether the function tracepoint should be activated or not was using the "perf_paranoid_kernel()" check which by default, lets the user continue. The user should not by default be able to enable function tracing. The fix is to use "perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" which will not let the user enable function tracing. This is a security fix as normal users should never be allowed to enable the function tracer" * tag 'ftrace-urgent-3.12-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: perf/ftrace: Fix paranoid level for enabling function tracer
