nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdown

2013-03-03T22:03:36+00:00

commit 3a2d63f87989e01437ba994df5f297528c353d7d upstream.

There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.

1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.

   This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
   NBD_DISCONNECT handler.  This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
   to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
   possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
   either).

2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
   come from the same backing storage.

   The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
   clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
   page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.

Example:

    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
    # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
    # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
    # file -s /dev/nbd0
    /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.

While /dev/sda has:

    # file -s /dev/sda
    /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc.

xen-blkback: use balloon pages for persistent grants

2013-03-03T22:03:35+00:00

commit 087ffecdaa1875cc683a7a5bc0695b3ebfce3bad upstream.

With current persistent grants implementation we are not freeing the
persistent grants after we disconnect the device. Since grant map
operations change the mfn of the allocated page, and we can no longer
pass it to __free_page without setting the mfn to a sane value, use
balloon grant pages instead, as the gntdev device does.

xen-blkfront: drop the use of llist_for_each_entry_safe

2013-03-03T22:03:35+00:00

commit f84adf4921ae3115502f44ff467b04bf2f88cf04 upstream.

Replace llist_for_each_entry_safe with a while loop.

llist_for_each_entry_safe can trigger a bug in GCC 4.1, so it's best
to remove it and use a while loop and do the deletion manually.

Specifically this bug can be triggered by hot-unplugging a disk, either
by doing xm block-detach or by save/restore cycle.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
IP: [] blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront]
The crash call trace is:
	...
bad_area_nosemaphore+0x13/0x20
do_page_fault+0x25e/0x4b0
page_fault+0x25/0x30

dpm_resume+0xc9/0x1a0
dpm_resume_end+0x15/0x30
do_suspend+0x117/0x1e0

When drilling down to the assembler code, on newer GCC it does
.L29:
        cmpq    $-16, %r12      #, persistent_gnt check
        je      .L30    	#, out of the loop
.L25:
	... code in the loop
        testq   %r13, %r13      # n
        je      .L29    	#, back to the top of the loop
        cmpq    $-16, %r12      #, persistent_gnt check
        movq    16(%r12), %r13  # .node.next, n
        jne     .L25    	#,	back to the top of the loop
.L30:

While on GCC 4.1, it is:
L78:
	... code in the loop
	testq   %r13, %r13      # n
        je      .L78    #,	back to the top of the loop
        movq    16(%rbx), %r13  # .node.next, n
        jmp     .L78    #,	back to the top of the loop

Which basically means that the exit loop condition instead of
being:

	&(pos)->member != NULL;

is:
	;

which makes the loop unbound.

Since xen-blkfront is the only user of the llist_for_each_entry_safe
macro remove it from llist.h.

xen/blkback: Don't trust the handle from the frontend.

2013-03-03T22:03:35+00:00

commit 01c681d4c70d64cb72142a2823f27c4146a02e63 upstream.

The 'handle' is the device that the request is from. For the life-time
of the ring we copy it from a request to a response so that the frontend
is not surprised by it. But we do not need it - when we start processing
I/Os we have our own 'struct phys_req' which has only most essential
information about the request. In fact the 'vbd_translate' ends up
over-writing the preq.dev with a value from the backend.

This assignment of preq.dev with the 'handle' value is superfluous
so lets not do it.

xen-blkback: do not leak mode property

2013-03-03T22:03:35+00:00

commit 9d092603cc306ee6edfe917bf9ab8beb5f32d7bc upstream.

"be->mode" is obtained from xenbus_read(), which does a kmalloc() for
the message body. The short string is never released, so do it along
with freeing "be" itself, and make sure the string isn't kept when
backend_changed() doesn't complete successfully (which made it
desirable to slightly re-structure that function, so that the error
cleanup can be done in one place).

      architectures, sparc missed adding a
      HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to it's Kconfig, oops.

   2) Sparc needs to be mindful of hugepages in get_user_pages_fast().

   3) Fix memory leak in SBUS probe, from Cong Ding.

   4) The sunvdc virtual disk client driver has a test of the bitmask of
      vdisk server supported operations which was off by one bit"
