0a8704a51f xen/blkback: Persistent grant maps for xen blk drivers
This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back}
mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap
operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This
allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs
are performing I/O.

Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request
queue. This was granted to dom0; dom0 performed the I/O and wrote
directly into the grant-mapped memory and unmapped it; blkfront then
removed foreign access for that grant. The cost of unmapping scales
badly with the number of CPUs in Dom0. An experiment showed that when
Dom0 has 24 VCPUs, and guests are performing parallel I/O to a
ramdisk, the IPIs from performing unmap's is a bottleneck at 5 guests
(at which point 650,000 IOPS are being performed in total). If more
than 5 guests are used, the performance declines. By 10 guests, only
400,000 IOPS are being performed.

This patch improves performance by only unmapping when the connection
between blkfront and back is broken.

On startup blkfront notifies blkback that it is using persistent
grants, and blkback will do the same. If blkback is not capable of
persistent mapping, blkfront will still use the same grants, since it
is compatible with the previous protocol, and simplifies the code
complexity in blkfront.

To perform a read, in persistent mode, blkfront uses a separate pool
of pages that it maps to dom0. When a request comes in, blkfront
transmutes the request so that blkback will write into one of these
free pages. Blkback keeps note of which grefs it has already
mapped. When a new ring request comes to blkback, it looks to see if
it has already mapped that page. If so, it will not map it again. If
the page hasn't been previously mapped, it is mapped now, and a record
is kept of this mapping. Blkback proceeds as usual. When blkfront is
notified that blkback has completed a request, it memcpy's from the
shared memory, into the bvec supplied. A record that the {gref, page}
tuple is mapped, and not inflight is kept.

Writes are similar, except that the memcpy is peformed from the
supplied bvecs, into the shared pages, before the request is put onto
the ring.

Blkback stores a mapping of grefs=>{page mapped to by gref} in
a red-black tree. As the grefs are not known apriori, and provide no
guarantees on their ordering, we have to perform a search
through this tree to find the page, for every gref we receive. This
operation takes O(log n) time in the worst case. In blkfront grants
are stored using a single linked list.

The maximum number of grants that blkback will persistenly map is
currently set to RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, to
prevent a malicios guest from attempting a DoS, by supplying fresh
grefs, causing the Dom0 kernel to map excessively. If a guest
is using persistent grants and exceeds the maximum number of grants to
map persistenly the newly passed grefs will be mapped and unmaped.
Using this approach, we can have requests that mix persistent and
non-persistent grants, and we need to handle them correctly.
This allows us to set the maximum number of persistent grants to a
lower value than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, although
setting it will lead to unpredictable performance.

In writing this patch, the question arrises as to if the additional
cost of performing memcpys in the guest (to/from the pool of granted
pages) outweigh the gains of not performing TLB shootdowns. The answer
to that question is `no'. There appears to be very little, if any
additional cost to the guest of using persistent grants. There is
perhaps a small saving, from the reduced number of hypercalls
performed in granting, and ending foreign access.

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:

  Features:
   * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
     on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions).  PV
     console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix compile linux-next fallout.
   * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.

  The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
  ARMv7 platforms.

  The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
  as much as possible.  That means use as little as possible of PV
  operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
  (network, block, console, etc).  This is similar to how PVHVM guests
  operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
  for QEMU.  The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
  drivers and infrastructure.

  Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:

    http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions

  and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the

08b6062351 aoe: make dynamic block minor numbers the default
Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the
default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on
usable AoE addresses.  Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made
the old limitations too confining.

These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default,
removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses.

The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the
aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space
counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a
mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a
special device file.

0c96621458 aoe: support more AoE addresses with dynamic block device minor numbers
The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot)
address to identify a particular storage target.  These changes remove an
artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses.
For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15,
but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that.

The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely.  Instead of
using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor
number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.

64a80f5ac7 aoe: associate frames with the AoE storage target
In the driver code, "target" and aoetgt refer to a particular remote
interface on the AoE storage target.  The latter is identified by its AoE
major and minor addresses.  Commands that are being sent to an AoE storage
target {major, minor} can be sent or retransmitted to any of the remote
MAC addresses associated with the AoE storage target.

That is, frames are naturally associated with not an aoetgt (AoE major,
AoE minor, remote MAC address) but an aoedev (AoE major, AoE minor).
Making the code reflect that reality simplifies the driver, especially
when the path to a remote MAC address becomes unusable.

25f4d75ea4 aoe: do revalidation steps in order
The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and
an AoE config query response.  Normally when an aoe device is already
open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device
command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity
information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device.

The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an
AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device
identify command, even when the device is open.

This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal
discovery sequence.  The responses could come back in any order, so this
change is fairly cosmetic.

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit
on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the
AoE block device is considered to have failed.

Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote
interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've
tried to recover by sending to a different remote port.

As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by
its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple
MAC addresses.  However, note that "target" in the driver code and
comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to
send packets".

69cf2d85de aoe: become I/O request queue handler for increased user control
To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular
workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an
I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver.

We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising.  We manipulate
the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee
that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios
containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now
exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation.

Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the
network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with
a "pool" of skbs.[2]

Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's
diskstats function can go away.

896831f590 aoe: kernel thread handles I/O completions for simple locking
Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios
and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an
"aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O.

The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of
preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and
degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure.

Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a
process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in
the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming
unusable.

3d5b06051c aoe: for performance support larger packet payloads
tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of
segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs)
and the network layer (skb frag array).  The motivation is the performance
gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by
using the network card's scatter gather feature.

Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since
early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and
higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears
related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the
harmonize_features function, even when the NIC supports sg.

a336d29870 nbd: handle discard requests
Add discard support to nbd.  If the nbd-server supports discard, it will
send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client.  The client will then set the flag
in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards
for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).

If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a
discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server.  When the
discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform:

	fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..)

To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed.

2f01250888 nbd: add set flags ioctl
Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd
device.  This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable
read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.).

Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server.  During the negotiation
phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client.
The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options.

Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
  support.  This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
  enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
  namespace.  Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
  filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
  nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.

  The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
  subsystems and filesystems as reasonable.  Leaving the make_kuid and
  from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
  come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
  Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
  namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.

  The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
  union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
  Those places were converted into explicit unions.  I made certain to
  handle those places with simple trivial patches.

  Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
  quota by projid.  I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
  Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
  for most of the code size growth in my git tree.

  Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
  "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
  root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
  non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.

  While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
  I made a few other cleanups.  I capitalized on the fact we process
  netlink messages in the context of the message sender.  I removed
  usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.

  Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
  problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
  linux-next.

  After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
  win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

033d9959ed Merge branch 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

b1b5402aa9 rbd: get image features for a v2 image
The features values for an rbd format 2 image are fetched from the
server using a "get_features" method.  The same method is used for
getting the features for a snapshot, so structure this addition with
a generic helper routine that can get this information for either.

The server will provide two 64-bit feature masks, one representing
the features potentially in use for this image (or its snapshot),
and one representing features that must be supported by the client
in order to work with the image.

For the time being, neither of these is really used so we keep
things simple and just record the first feature vector.  Once we
start using these feature masks, what we record and what we expose
to the user will most likely change.

a30b71b999 rbd: lay out header probe infrastructure
This defines a new function rbd_dev_probe() as a top-level
function for populating detailed information about an rbd device.

It first checks for the existence of a format 2 rbd image id object.
If it exists, the image is assumed to be a format 2 rbd image, and
another function rbd_dev_v2() is called to finish populating
header data for that image.  If it does not exist, it is assumed to
be an old (format 1) rbd image, and calls a similar function
rbd_dev_v1() to populate its header information.

A new field, rbd_dev->format, is defined to record which version
of the rbd image format the device represents.  For a valid mapped
rbd device it will have one of two values, 1 or 2.

So far, the format 2 images are not really supported; this is
laying out the infrastructure for fleshing out that support.

    From: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@inktank.com>
    Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:22:11 -0700
    To: ceph-devel <ceph-devel@vger.kernel.org>
    Message-ID: <500F1203.9050605@inktank.com>

    Right now the kernel still has one piece of rbd management
    duplicated from the rbd command line tool: snapshot creation.
    There's nothing special about snapshot creation that makes it
    advantageous to do from the kernel, so I'd like to remove the
    create_snap sysfs interface.  That is,
	/sys/bus/rbd/devices/<id>/create_snap
    would be removed.

    Does anyone rely on the sysfs interface for creating rbd
    snapshots?  If so, how hard would it be to replace with:

	rbd snap create pool/image@snap

    Is there any benefit to the sysfs interface that I'm missing?

    Josh

This patch implements this proposal, removing the code that
implements the "snap_create" sysfs interface for rbd images.
As a result, quite a lot of other supporting code goes away.

f8d4de6e1c rbd: support data returned from OSD methods
An OSD object method call can be made using rbd_req_sync_exec().
Until now this has only been used for creating a new RBD snapshot,

We will now need to get data back from an OSD on a method call, so
add parameters to rbd_req_sync_exec() that allow a buffer into which
returned data should be placed to be specified, along with its size.

Previously, rbd_req_sync_exec() passed a null pointer and zero
size to rbd_req_sync_op(); change this so the new inbound buffer
information is provided instead.

Rename the "buf" and "len" parameters in rbd_req_sync_op() to
