dm table: add dm_table_run_md_queue_async

2014-03-27T20:56:24+00:00

Introduce dm_table_run_md_queue_async() to run the request_queue of the
mapped_device associated with a request-based DM table.

Also add dm_md_get_queue() wrapper to extract the request_queue from a
mapped_device.

dm: use RCU_INIT_POINTER instead of rcu_assign_pointer in __unbind

2014-03-27T20:56:24+00:00

Replace rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).

The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.  And in the
case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.  So,
rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to
RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).

dm: stop using bi_private

2014-03-27T20:56:24+00:00

Device mapper uses the bio structure's bi_private field as a pointer
to dm_target_io or dm_rq_clone_bio_info.  But a bio structure is
embedded in the dm_target_io and dm_rq_clone_bio_info structures, so the
pointer to the structure that contains the bio can be found with the
container_of() macro.

Remove the use of bi_private and use container_of() instead.

dm: remove dm_get_mapinfo

2014-03-27T20:56:24+00:00

Remove dm_get_mapinfo() because no target uses it.  Targets can allocate
per-bio data using ti->per_bio_data_size, this is much more flexible
than union map_info.

Leave union map_info only for the request-based multipath target's use.
Also delete the unused "unsigned long long ll" field of union map_info.

Merge branch 'for-3.14/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2014-01-30T19:19:05+00:00

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
 "The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
  rest is fairly minor.  It was supposed to go in last round, but
  various issues pushed it to this release instead.  The pull request
  contains:

   - Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks.  Nothing major
     here, just minor fixes and cleanups.

   - Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
     from Christian Engelmayer.

   - Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.

   - Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet.  This
     enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
     possible, and splitting more efficient.  Related fixes to immutable
     bio_vecs:

        - dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
        - btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.

  - bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

dm sysfs: fix a module unload race

2014-01-15T04:23:04+00:00

This reverts commit be35f48610 ("dm: wait until embedded kobject is
released before destroying a device") and provides an improved fix.

The kobject release code that calls the completion must be placed in a
non-module file, otherwise there is a module unload race (if the process
calling dm_kobject_release is preempted and the DM module unloaded after
the completion is triggered, but before dm_kobject_release returns).

To fix this race, this patch moves the completion code to dm-builtin.c
which is always compiled directly into the kernel if BLK_DEV_DM is
selected.

The patch introduces a new dm_kobject_holder structure, its purpose is
to keep the completion and kobject in one place, so that it can be
accessed from non-module code without the need to export the layout of
struct mapped_device to that code.

dm: wait until embedded kobject is released before destroying a device

2014-01-08T02:01:43+00:00

There may be other parts of the kernel holding a reference on the dm
kobject.  We must wait until all references are dropped before
deallocating the mapped_device structure.

The dm_kobject_release method signals that all references are dropped
via completion.  But dm_kobject_release doesn't free the kobject (which
is embedded in the mapped_device structure).

This is the sequence of operations:
* when destroying a DM device, call kobject_put from dm_sysfs_exit
* wait until all users stop using the kobject, when it happens the
  release method is called
* the release method signals the completion and should return without
  delay
* the dm device removal code that waits on the completion continues
* the dm device removal code drops the dm_mod reference the device had
* the dm device removal code frees the mapped_device structure that
  contains the kobject

Using kobject this way should avoid the module unload race that was
mentioned at the beginning of this thread:

dm: remove pointless kobject comparison in dm_get_from_kobject

2014-01-07T18:22:32+00:00

The comparison is always true and the compiler optimizes it out anyway.

Milan offered additional context relative to the original commit
784aae735d ("dm: add name and uuid to sysfs") which introduced the code:
"I think it is just relict of some experiments before I committed this
simple embedded sysfs kobj handling".

dm: Refactor for new bio cloning/splitting

2013-11-24T06:33:55+00:00

We need to convert the dm code to the new bvec_iter primitives which
respect bi_bvec_done; they also allow us to drastically simplify dm's
bio splitting code.

Also, it's no longer necessary to save/restore the bvec array anymore -
driver conversions for immutable bvecs are done, so drivers should never
be modifying it.

Also kill bio_sector_offset(), dm was the only user and it doesn't make
much sense anymore.

block: Abstract out bvec iterator

2013-11-24T06:33:47+00:00

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
things.
