2017-05-20fs/block_dev: always invalidate cleancache in invalidate_bdev()Andrey Ryabinin
commit a5f6a6a9c72eac38a7fadd1a038532bc8516337c upstream. invalidate_bdev() calls cleancache_invalidate_inode() iff ->nrpages != 0 which doen't make any sense. Make sure that invalidate_bdev() always calls cleancache_invalidate_inode() regardless of mapping->nrpages value.

2017-05-14block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate()Ilya Dryomov
commit 19b7ccf8651df09d274671b53039c672a52ad84d upstream. Commit 25520d55cdb6 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk") introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity profile is registered: if (bi->profile) disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |= BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES; else disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &= ~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES; It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs. Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't but still want stable pages.

2017-01-06block_dev: don't test bdev->bd_contains when it is not stableNeilBrown
commit bcc7f5b4bee8e327689a4d994022765855c807ff upstream. bdev->bd_contains is not stable before calling __blkdev_get(). When __blkdev_get() is called on a parition with ->bd_openers == 0 it sets bdev->bd_contains = bdev; which is not correct for a partition. After a call to __blkdev_get() succeeds, ->bd_openers will be > 0 and then ->bd_contains is stable. When FMODE_EXCL is used, blkdev_get() calls bd_start_claiming() -> bd_prepare_to_claim() -> bd_may_claim() This call happens before __blkdev_get() is called, so ->bd_contains is not stable. So bd_may_claim() cannot safely use ->bd_contains. It currently tries to use it, and this can lead to a BUG_ON(). This happens when a whole device is already open with a bd_holder (in use by dm in my particular example) and two threads race to open a partition of that device for the first time, one opening with O_EXCL and one without. The thread that doesn't use O_EXCL gets through blkdev_get() to __blkdev_get(), gains the ->bd_mutex, and sets bdev->bd_contains = bdev; Immediately thereafter the other thread, using FMODE_EXCL, calls bd_start_claiming() from blkdev_get(). This should fail because the whole device has a holder, but because bdev->bd_contains == bdev bd_may_claim() incorrectly reports success. This thread continues and blocks on bd_mutex. The first thread then sets bdev->bd_contains correctly and drops the mutex. The thread using FMODE_EXCL then continues and when it calls bd_may_claim() again in: BUG_ON(!bd_may_claim(bdev, whole, holder)); The BUG_ON fires. Fix this by removing the dependency on ->bd_contains in bd_may_claim(). As bd_may_claim() has direct access to the whole device, it can simply test if the target bdev is the whole device.

2015-12-04block: detach bdev inode from its wb in __blkdev_put()Ilya Dryomov
Since 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") inode, at some point in its lifetime, gets attached to a wb (struct bdi_writeback). Detaching happens on evict, in inode_detach_wb() called from __destroy_inode(), and involves updating wb. However, detaching an internal bdev inode from its wb in __destroy_inode() is too late. Its bdi and by extension root wb are embedded into struct request_queue, which has different lifetime rules and can be freed long before the final bdput() is called (can be from __fput() of a corresponding /dev inode, through dput() - evict() - bd_forget(). bdevs hold onto the underlying disk/queue pair only while opened; as soon as bdev is closed all bets are off. In fact, disk/queue can be gone before __blkdev_put() even returns: 1499 static void __blkdev_put(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, int for_part) 1500 { ... 1518 if (bdev->bd_contains == bdev) { 1519 if (disk->fops->release) 1520 disk->fops->release(disk, mode); [ Driver puts its references to disk/queue ] 1521 } 1522 if (!bdev->bd_openers) { 1523 struct module *owner = disk->fops->owner; 1524 1525 disk_put_part(bdev->bd_part); 1526 bdev->bd_part = NULL; 1527 bdev->bd_disk = NULL; 1528 if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains) 1529 victim = bdev->bd_contains; 1530 bdev->bd_contains = NULL; 1531 1532 put_disk(disk); [ We put ours, the queue is gone The last bdput() would result in a write to invalid memory ] 1533 module_put(owner); ... 1539 } Since bdev inodes are special anyway, detach them in __blkdev_put() after clearing inode's dirty bits, turning the problematic inode_detach_wb() in __destroy_inode() into a noop. add_disk() grabs its disk->queue since 523e1d399ce0 ("block: make gendisk hold a reference to its queue"), so the old ->release comment is removed in favor of the new inode_detach_wb() comment.

2015-10-21block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendiskMartin K. Petersen
Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active. This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles. Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several changes: - Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h. - Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk. - Removing the dynamic allocation code. - Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted. - Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable pages bdi setting. - The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or not now key off of the bi->profile pointer. - Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

In order to handle the !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES case, we need to return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK from the inlined dax_pmd_fault(), which is defined in linux/mm.h. Given that we don't want to include <linux/mm.h> in <linux/fs.h>, the easiest solution is to move the DAX-related functions to a new header, <linux/dax.h>. We could also have moved VM_FAULT_* definitions to a new header, or a different header that isn't quite such a boil-the-ocean header as <linux/mm.h>, but this felt like the best option.

The changes outside of the typical drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages(). Summary: - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB add devm_memremap_pages mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access() nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB nvdimm: change to use generic kvfree() pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option pmem: switch to devm_ allocations devres: add devm_memremap libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid ...

After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly.

2015-04-24direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systemsJens Axboe
do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode ->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection. For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with better latencies too. Before: clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 33], 5.00th=[ 34], 10.00th=[ 34], 20.00th=[ 34], | 30.00th=[ 34], 40.00th=[ 34], 50.00th=[ 35], 60.00th=[ 35], | 70.00th=[ 35], 80.00th=[ 35], 90.00th=[ 37], 95.00th=[ 80], | 99.00th=[ 98], 99.50th=[ 151], 99.90th=[ 155], 99.95th=[ 155], | 99.99th=[ 165] After: clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 95], 5.00th=[ 108], 10.00th=[ 129], 20.00th=[ 149], | 30.00th=[ 155], 40.00th=[ 161], 50.00th=[ 167], 60.00th=[ 171], | 70.00th=[ 177], 80.00th=[ 185], 90.00th=[ 201], 95.00th=[ 270], | 99.00th=[ 390], 99.50th=[ 398], 99.90th=[ 418], 99.95th=[ 422], | 99.99th=[ 438] In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance improvements: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/557 The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets.

2014-11-17fs: add freeze_super/thaw_super fs hooksBenjamin Marzinski
Currently, freezing a filesystem involves calling freeze_super, which locks sb->s_umount and then calls the fs-specific freeze_fs hook. This makes it hard for gfs2 (and potentially other cluster filesystems) to use the vfs freezing code to do freezes on all the cluster nodes. In order to communicate that a freeze has been requested, and to make sure that only one node is trying to freeze at a time, gfs2 uses a glock (sd_freeze_gl). The problem is that there is no hook for gfs2 to acquire this lock before calling freeze_super. This means that two nodes can attempt to freeze the filesystem by both calling freeze_super, acquiring the sb->s_umount lock, and then attempting to grab the cluster glock sd_freeze_gl. Only one will succeed, and the other will be stuck in freeze_super, making it impossible to finish freezing the node. To solve this problem, this patch adds the freeze_super and thaw_super hooks. If a filesystem implements these hooks, they are called instead of the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions. This means that every filesystem that implements these hooks must call the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions itself within the hook function to make use of the vfs freezing code.

Author: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com> Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading to the end of a raw device. Instead of returning a short read for a read that extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device, these reads now return EIO. The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal block devices. Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks, prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.

Sequential read from a block device is expected to be equal or faster than from the file on a filesystem. But it is not correct due to the lack of effective readpages() in the address space operations for block device. This implements readpages() operation for block device by using mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each page and reduce system CPU time consumption.

All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk. Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can blk_get_backing_dev_info().
