blk: Ensure users for current->bio_list can see the full list.

2017-04-08T07:30:36+00:00

commit f5fe1b51905df7cfe4fdfd85c5fb7bc5b71a094f upstream.

Commit 79bd99596b73 ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
changed current->bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
make_request_fn.

There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty.  These are no longer
correct.

So redefine current->bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.

dm: flush queued bios when process blocks to avoid deadlock

2017-03-18T11:14:34+00:00

commit d67a5f4b5947aba4bfe9a80a2b86079c215ca755 upstream.

Commit df2cb6daa4 ("block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by
stacking drivers") created a workqueue for every bio set and code
in bio_alloc_bioset() that tries to resolve some low-memory deadlocks
by redirecting bios queued on current->bio_list to the workqueue if the
system is low on memory.  However other deadlocks (see below **) may
happen, without any low memory condition, because generic_make_request
is queuing bios to current->bio_list (rather than submitting them).

** the related dm-snapshot deadlock is detailed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2016-July/msg00065.html

Fix this deadlock by redirecting any bios on current->bio_list to the
bio_set's rescue workqueue on every schedule() call.  Consequently,
when the process blocks on a mutex, the bios queued on
current->bio_list are dispatched to independent workqueus and they can
complete without waiting for the mutex to be available.

The structure blk_plug contains an entry cb_list and this list can contain
arbitrary callback functions that are called when the process blocks.
To implement this fix DM (ab)uses the onstack plug's cb_list interface
to get its flush_current_bio_list() called at schedule() time.

This fixes the snapshot deadlock - if the map method blocks,
flush_current_bio_list() will be called and it redirects bios waiting
on current->bio_list to appropriate workqueues.

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

   removed

dm: free io_barrier after blk_cleanup_queue call

2016-10-18T16:02:08+00:00

dm_old_request_fn() has paths that access md->io_barrier.  The party
destroying io_barrier should ensure that no future execution of
dm_old_request_fn() is possible.  Move io_barrier destruction to below
blk_cleanup_queue() to ensure this and avoid a NULL pointer crash during
request-based DM device shutdown.

kthread: kthread worker API cleanup

2016-10-11T22:06:33+00:00

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

dm: convert wait loops to use autoremove_wake_function()

2016-09-14T17:56:38+00:00

Use autoremove_wake_function() instead of default_wake_function()
to make the dm wait loops more similar to other wait loops in the
kernel.  This patch does not change any functionality.
