2013-10-01cfq: explicitly use 64bit divide operation for 64bit argumentsAnatol Pomozov
commit f3cff25f05f2ac29b2ee355e611b0657482f6f1d upstream. 'samples' is 64bit operant, but do_div() second parameter is 32. do_div silently truncates high 32 bits and calculated result is invalid. In case if low 32bit of 'samples' are zeros then do_div() produces kernel crash.

2013-08-20elevator: Fix a race in elevator switchingJianpeng Ma
commit d50235b7bc3ee0a0427984d763ea7534149531b4 upstream. There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation. Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL ->elevator_data. For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation. Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug 1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null 2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done The test method also use this method.

2013-07-13block: do not pass disk names as format stringsKees Cook
commit ffc8b30866879ed9ba62bd0a86fecdbd51cd3d19 upstream. Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be interpreted as format strings. It seems that only md allows arbitrary strings to be used for disk names, but this could allow for a local memory corruption from uid 0 into ring 0.

2013-05-17blkpm: avoid sleep when holding queue lockAaron Lu
In blk_post_runtime_resume, an autosuspend request will be initiated for the device. Since we are holding the queue lock, we can't sleep and thus we should use the async version to initiate an autosuspend, i.e. pm_request_suspend instead of pm_runtime_suspend, which might sleep.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete. cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path(). - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu. - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy. - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately, cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled implicitly along with unified hierarchy. The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm), which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without introducing a full separate set of control knobs. This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that it's supportable in the long term. Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able to drop it in a decade. Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun. * 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (45 commits) cpuset: fix compile warning when CONFIG_SMP=n cpuset: fix cpu hotplug vs rebuild_sched_domains() race cpuset: use rebuild_sched_domains() in cpuset_hotplug_workfn() cgroup: restore the call to eventfd->poll() cgroup: fix use-after-free when umounting cgroupfs cgroup: fix broken file xattrs devcg: remove parent_cgroup. memcg: force use_hierarchy if sane_behavior cgroup: remove cgrp->top_cgroup cgroup: introduce sane_behavior mount option move cgroupfs_root to include/linux/cgroup.h cgroup: convert cgroupfs_root flag bits to masks and add CGRP_ prefix cgroup: make cgroup_path() not print double slashes Revert "cgroup: remove bind() method from cgroup_subsys." perf: make perf_event cgroup hierarchical cgroup: implement cgroup_is_descendant() cgroup: make sure parent won't be destroyed before its children cgroup: remove bind() method from cgroup_subsys. devcg: remove broken_hierarchy tag cgroup: remove cgroup_lock_is_held() ...

2013-04-08driver core: add uid and gid to devtmpfsKay Sievers
Some drivers want to tell userspace what uid and gid should be used for their device nodes, so allow that information to percolate through the driver core to userspace in order to make this happen. This means that some systems (i.e. Android and friends) will not need to even run a udev-like daemon for their device node manager and can just rely in devtmpfs fully, reducing their footprint even more.

This reverts commit 8761a3dc1f07b163414e2215a2cadbb4cfe2a107. There are situations where the destruction path is called with the bdev->bd_mutex already held, which then deadlocks in loop_clr_fd(). The normal partition cleanup does a trylock() on the mutex, but it'd be nice to have a more bullet proof method in loop. So punt this more involved fix to the next merge window, and just back out this buggy fix for now. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2013-03-04cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() raceLi Zefan
rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold a longer name. As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate cgroup path using dentry->d_name.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2013-02-27block/partitions: optimize memory allocation in check_partition()Ming Lei
Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition, especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage, MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure. This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct parsed_partitions to try to address the issue: - make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved - vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is still a bit big for kmalloc - given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Reported-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Reviewed-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-02-22cfq: fix lock imbalance with failed allocationsGlauber Costa
While stress-running very-small container scenarios with the Kernel Memory Controller, I've run into a lockdep-detected lock imbalance in cfq-iosched.c. I'll apologize beforehand for not posting a backlog: I didn't anticipate it would be so hard to reproduce, so I didn't save my serial output and went directly on debugging. Turns out that it did not happen again in more than 20 runs, making it a quite rare pattern. But here is my analysis: When we are in very low-memory situations, we will arrive at cfq_find_alloc_queue and may not find a queue, having to resort to the oom queue, in an rcu-locked condition: if (!cfqq || cfqq == &cfqd->oom_cfqq) [ ... ] Next, we will release the rcu lock, and try to allocate a queue, retrying if we succeed: rcu_read_unlock(); spin_unlock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock); new_cfqq = kmem_cache_alloc_node(cfq_pool, gfp_mask | __GFP_ZERO, cfqd->queue->node); spin_lock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock); if (new_cfqq) goto retry; We are unlocked at this point, but it should be fine, since we will reacquire the rcu_read_lock when we retry. Except of course, that we may not retry: the allocation may very well fail and we'll keep on going through the flow: The next branch is: if (cfqq) { [ ... ] } else cfqq = &cfqd->oom_cfqq; And right before exiting, we'll issue rcu_read_unlock(). Being already unlocked, this is the likely source of our imbalance. Since cfqq is either already NULL or made NULL in the first statement of the outter branch, the only viable alternative here seems to be to return the oom queue right away in case of allocation failure. Please review the following patch and apply if you agree with my analysis.

2013-02-21block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during writeDarrick J. Wong
This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot page contents instead of waiting. For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

2013-02-21bdi: allow block devices to say that they require stable page writesDarrick J. Wong
This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives the flusher more work to do. On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum latencies: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078 ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210 Flush 12129 36.219 168.260 Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928 ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124 Flush 12214 34.800 165.689 Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343 ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115 Flush 17851 25.004 131.390 Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299 ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287 Flush 17549 25.120 188.687 Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms ...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency decreases: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355 ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828 Flush 9547 47.561 147.418 Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631 ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123 Flush 9190 47.963 219.034 Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the author of the stable page series! :) This patch: Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2013-02-15block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO requestVladimir Davydov
Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does not turn on iowait time accounting. The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time correctly.

2013-01-22block: don't request module during elevator initTejun Heo
Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new block device is initialized and the elevator is not available. This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to deadlock. Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init path. The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior difference should be minimal. For more details, please refer to the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814 v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with request_module(). This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because request_module() was defined as a macro. W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it causes build breakage. Rename the parameter to @try_loading. Reported by Fengguang.

2013-01-18init, block: try to load default elevator module early during bootTejun Heo
This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or initrd is made available and right before control is passed to userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the default modules are loaded as soon as possible. This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator init path. v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test robot.

2013-01-14block: add @req to bio_{front|back}_merge tracepointsTejun Heo
bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints report a bio merging into an existing request but didn't specify which request the bio is being merged into. Add @req to it. This makes it impossible to share the event template with block_bio_queue - split it out. @req isn't used or exported to userland at this point and there is no userland visible behavior change. Later changes will make use of the extra parameter. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-01-14block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepointTejun Heo
bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP. Only dm was explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion. This makes block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace completion events. This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate block_bio_complete TP. * Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and the trace point is unexported. * @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete(). bios may fly around w/o queue associated. Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue belongs to TP probes. * blktrace now gets both request and bio completions. Make it ignore bio completions if request completion path is happening. This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful. v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev. Update TP assignment code to check whether bio->bi_bdev is %NULL before dereferencing.
