block: Add bio_clone_bioset(), bio_clone_kmalloc()

2012-09-09T08:35:39+00:00

Previously, there was bio_clone() but it only allocated from the fs bio
set; as a result various users were open coding it and using
__bio_clone().

This changes bio_clone() to become bio_clone_bioset(), and then we add
bio_clone() and bio_clone_kmalloc() as wrappers around it, making use of
the functionality the last patch adedd.

This will also help in a later patch changing how bio cloning works.

block: Generalized bio pool freeing

2012-09-09T08:35:38+00:00

With the old code, when you allocate a bio from a bio pool you have to
implement your own destructor that knows how to find the bio pool the
bio was originally allocated from.

This adds a new field to struct bio (bi_pool) and changes
bio_alloc_bioset() to use it. This makes various bio destructors
unnecessary, so they're then deleted.

dm thin: commit before gathering status

2012-07-27T14:08:16+00:00

Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin
pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible.

The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if
the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target
through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn.

The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the
'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76
onwards.

dm crypt: rename struct convert_context sector field

2012-07-27T14:08:05+00:00

Rename sector to cc_sector in dm-crypt's convert_context struct.

This is preparation for a future patch that merges dm_io and
convert_context which both have a "sector" field.

dm crypt: store crypt_config instead of dm_target struct

2012-07-27T14:08:05+00:00

Store the crypt_config struct pointer directly in struct dm_crypt_io
instead of the dm_target struct pointer.

Target information is never used - only target->private is referenced,
thus we can change it to point directly to struct crypt_config.

dm crypt: move cipher data out of per_cpu struct

2012-07-27T14:08:05+00:00

Move static dm-crypt cipher data out of per-cpu structure.

Cipher information is static, so it does not have to be in a per-cpu
structure.

dm crypt: rename pending field

2012-07-27T14:08:04+00:00

There are two dm crypt structures that have a field called "pending".

This patch renames them to "cc_pending" and "io_pending" to reduce confusion
and ease searching the code.

Also remove unnecessary initialisation of r in crypt_convert_block().

dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf input

2012-03-28T17:41:26+00:00

Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.

For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".

As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.

This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.

The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.
