block: blk-merge: fix blk_recount_segments()

2014-11-11T23:24:15+00:00

For cloned bio, bio->bi_vcnt can't be used at all, and we
have resort to bio_segments() to figure out how many
segment there are in the bio.

scsi: Fix more error handling in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND

2014-11-10T22:41:47+00:00

Fix an error path in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND that calls
blk_put_request(rq) on an invalid IS_ERR(rq) pointer.

blk-mq: make mq_queue_reinit_notify() freeze queues in parallel

2014-11-04T21:49:31+00:00

q->mq_usage_counter is a percpu_ref which is killed and drained when
the queue is frozen.  On a CPU hotplug event, blk_mq_queue_reinit()
which involves freezing the queue is invoked on all existing queues.
Because percpu_ref killing and draining involve a RCU grace period,
doing the above on one queue after another may take a long time if
there are many queues on the system.

This patch splits out initiation of freezing and waiting for its
completion, and updates blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() so that the
queues are frozen in parallel instead of one after another.  Note that
freezing and unfreezing are moved from blk_mq_queue_reinit() to
blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify().

block: Fix computation of merged request priority

2014-10-31T14:30:43+00:00

Priority of a merged request is computed by ioprio_best(). If one of the
requests has undefined priority (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) and another request
has priority from IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, the function will return the
undefined priority which is wrong. Fix the function to properly return
priority of a request with the defined priority.

block: fix wrong error return in elevator_init()

2014-10-23T18:35:42+00:00

while compiling integer err was showing as a set but unused variable.
elevator_init_fn can be either cfq_init_queue or deadline_init_queue
or noop_init_queue.
all three of these functions are returning -ENOMEM if they fail to
allocate the queue.
so we should actually be returning the error code rather than
returning 0 always.

scsi: Fix error handling in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND

2014-10-23T02:13:39+00:00

When sg_scsi_ioctl() fails to prepare request to submit in
blk_rq_map_kern() we jump to a label where we just end up copying
(luckily zeroed-out) kernel buffer to userspace instead of reporting
error. Fix the problem by jumping to the right label.

blk-merge: recaculate segment if it isn't less than max segments

2014-10-22T01:00:32+00:00

The problem is introduced by commit 764f612c6c3c231b(blk-merge:
don't compute bi_phys_segments from bi_vcnt for cloned bio),
and merge is needed if number of current segment isn't less than
max segments.

Strictly speaking, bio->bi_vcnt shouldn't be used here since
it may not be accurate in cases of both cloned bio or bio cloned
from, but bio_segments() is a bit expensive, and bi_vcnt is still
the biggest number, so the approach should work.

Merge branch 'for-3.18/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2014-10-18T18:53:51+00:00

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18.  Apart from the new
  and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
  and cleanups.

   - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.

   - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph.  We pass it through the
     ->queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
     bits.  The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
     REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.

   - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.

   - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei.  Now we
     have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
     code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.

   - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.

   - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.

   - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.

   - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
     where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
     Lawrence.

   - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
     devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
     without preallocating a lot of memory.

   - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
     hardware queues from me.

   - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump
     scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI
     shared tag setups).  We now just use a single queue and limited
     depth for that"

blk-mq: allocate cpumask on the home node

2014-10-13T21:41:54+00:00

All other allocs are done on the specific node, somehow the
cpumask for hw queue runs was missed. Fix that by using
zalloc_cpumask_var_node() in blk_mq_init_queue().
