commit 082a75dad84d79d1c15ea9e50f31cb4bb4fa7fd6 upstream.

When we end I/O struct request with error, we need to pass
obj_request-&gt;length as @nr_bytes so that the entire obj_request worth
of bytes is completed.  Otherwise block layer ends up confused and we
trip on

    rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request-&gt;obj_request_count));

in rbd_img_obj_callback() due to more being true no matter what.  We
already do it in most cases but we are missing some, in particular
those where we don't even get a chance to submit any obj_requests, due
to an early -ENOMEM for example.

A number of obj_request-&gt;xferred assignments seem to be redundant but
I haven't touched any of obj_request-&gt;xferred stuff to keep this small
and isolated.

commit bfe11d6de1c416cea4f3f0f35f864162063ce3fa upstream.

When persistent grants were added they were always used, even if the
backend doesn't have this feature (there's no harm in always using the
same set of pages). This restores the old data path when the backend
doesn't have persistent grants, removing the burden of doing a memcpy
when it is not actually needed.

<title>xen-blkfront: revoke foreign access for grants not mapped by the backend</title>

commit fbe363c476afe8ec992d3baf682670a4bd1b6ce6 upstream.

There's no need to keep the foreign access in a grant if it is not
persistently mapped by the backend. This allows us to free grants that
are not mapped by the backend, thus preventing blkfront from hoarding
all grants.

The main effect of this is that blkfront will only persistently map
the same grants as the backend, and it will always try to use grants
that are already mapped by the backend. Also the number of persistent
grants in blkfront is the same as in blkback (and is controlled by the
value in blkback).

<title>rbd: drop an unsafe assertion</title>

commit 638c323c4d1f8eaf25224946e21ce8818f1bcee1 upstream.

Olivier Bonvalet reported having repeated crashes due to a failed
assertion he was hitting in rbd_img_obj_callback():

    Assertion failure in rbd_img_obj_callback() at line 2165:
	rbd_assert(which &gt;= img_request-&gt;next_completion);

With a lot of help from Olivier with reproducing the problem
we were able to determine the object and image requests had
already been completed (and often freed) at the point the
assertion failed.

There was a great deal of discussion on the ceph-devel mailing list
about this.  The problem only arose when there were two (or more)
object requests in an image request, and the problem was always
seen when the second request was being completed.

The problem is due to a race in the window between setting the
"done" flag on an object request and checking the image request's
next completion value.  When the first object request completes, it
checks to see if its successor request is marked "done", and if
so, that request is also completed.  In the process, the image
request's next_completion value is updated to reflect that both
the first and second requests are completed.  By the time the
second request is able to check the next_completion value, it
has been set to a value *greater* than its own "which" value,
which caused an assertion to fail.

Fix this problem by skipping over any completion processing
unless the completing object request is the next one expected.
Test only for inequality (not &gt;=), and eliminate the bad
assertion.

<title>rbd: fix rbd_dev_parent_get() when parent_overlap == 0</title>

commit ae43e9d05eb4bd324155292f889fbd001c4faea8 upstream.

The comment for rbd_dev_parent_get() said

    * We must get the reference before checking for the overlap to
    * coordinate properly with zeroing the parent overlap in
    * rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() when an image gets flattened.  We
    * drop it again if there is no overlap.

but the "drop it again if there is no overlap" part was missing from
the implementation.  This lead to absurd parent_ref values for images
with parent_overlap == 0, as parent_ref was incremented for each
img_request and virtually never decremented.

Fix this by leveraging the fact that refresh path calls
rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() under header_rwsem and use it for read in
rbd_dev_parent_get(), instead of messing around with atomics.  Get rid
of barriers in rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() while at it - I don't see what
they'd pair with now and I suspect we are in a pretty miserable
situation as far as proper locking goes regardless.

<title>rbd: drop parent_ref in rbd_dev_unprobe() unconditionally</title>

commit e69b8d414f948c242ad9f3eb2b7e24fba783dbbd upstream.

This effectively reverts the last hunk of 392a9dad7e77 ("rbd: detect
when clone image is flattened").

The problem with parent_overlap != 0 condition is that it's possible
and completely valid to have an image with parent_overlap == 0 whose
parent state needs to be cleaned up on unmap.  The next commit, which
drops the "clone image now standalone" logic, opens up another window
of opportunity to hit this, but even without it

    # cat parent-ref.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    rbd create --image-format 2 --size 1 foo
    rbd snap create foo@snap
    rbd snap protect foo@snap
    rbd clone foo@snap bar
    rbd resize --allow-shrink --size 0 bar
    rbd resize --size 1 bar
    DEV=$(rbd map bar)
    rbd unmap $DEV

leaves rbd_device/rbd_spec/etc and rbd_client along with ceph_client
hanging around.

My thinking behind calling rbd_dev_parent_put() unconditionally is that
there shouldn't be any requests in flight at that point in time as we
are deep into unmap sequence.  Hence, even if rbd_dev_unparent() caused
by flatten is delayed by in-flight requests, it will have finished by
the time we reach rbd_dev_unprobe() caused by unmap, thus turning
unconditional rbd_dev_parent_put() into a no-op.

This was not noticed for many years. Affects operation if
md raid is used a backing device for DRBD.

[ Upstream commit 85b0c6e62c48bb9179fd5b3e954f362fb346cbd5 ]

The VD_OP_GET_VTOC operation will succeed only if the vdisk backend has a
VTOC label, otherwise it will fail. In particular, it will return error
48 (ENOTSUP) if the disk has an EFI label. VTOC disk labels are already
handled by directly reading the disk in block/partitions/sun.c (enabled by
CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION which defaults to y on SPARC). Since port-&gt;label is
unused in the driver, remove the call and the field.

[ Upstream commit d0aedcd4f14a22e23b313f42b7e6e6ebfc0fbc31 ]

vio_dring_avail() will allow use of every dring entry, but when the last
entry is allocated then dr-&gt;prod == dr-&gt;cons which is indistinguishable from
the ring empty condition. This causes the next allocation to reuse an entry.
When this happens in sunvdc, the server side vds driver begins nack'ing the
messages and ends up resetting the ldc channel. This problem does not effect
sunvnet since it checks for &lt; 2.

The fix here is to just never allocate the very last dring slot so that full
and empty are not the same condition. The request start path was changed to
check for the ring being full a bit earlier, and to stop the blk_queue if
there is no space left. The blk_queue will be restarted once the ring is
only half full again. The number of ring entries was increased to 512 which
matches the sunvnet and Solaris vdc drivers, and greatly reduces the
frequency of hitting the ring full condition and the associated blk_queue
stop/starting. The checks in sunvent were adjusted to account for
vio_dring_avail() returning 1 less.
