19b7ccf865 block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate()
Commit 25520d55cd ("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.

c01228db4b Revert "scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes"
This reverts commit 0dba1314d4. It causes
leaking of device numbers for SCSI when SCSI registers multiple gendisks
for one request_queue in succession. It can be easily reproduced using
Omar's script [1] on kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Furthermore the protection provided by this commit is not needed anymore
as the problem it was fixing got also fixed by commit 165a5e22fa
"block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()".

0766f788eb latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

99e6608c9e block: Add badblock management for gendisks
NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block
devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device
exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or
write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine
check recovery features, this would mean a crash.

The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that
have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward
to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device.

Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to
gendisks.

25520d55cd block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk
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).

1ad7e89940 block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string
This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs.  This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.

Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present.  However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results.  In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

c83f6bf98d block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl
Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.

This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.

Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.

fe316bf2d5 block: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sd_revalidate_disk
Since 2.6.39 (1196f8b), when a driver returns -ENOMEDIUM for open(),
__blkdev_get() calls rescan_partitions() to remove
in-kernel partition structures and raise KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.

However it ends up calling driver's revalidate_disk without open
and could cause oops.

In the case of SCSI:

  process A                  process B
  ----------------------------------------------
  sys_open
    __blkdev_get
      sd_open
        returns -ENOMEDIUM

d0985394e7 block: Revert "[SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk"
This reverts commit a72c5e5eb7.

The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be
used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet.
This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to
follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot
of problems.

It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the
actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used
universally or enforced.  Everything internal including device lookup
and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two
devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its
alias.

This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block
layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been
upstreamed.  Revert it.

a72c5e5eb7 [SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk
This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.

This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.

Example:
(current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
(new)     printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));

Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

d27769ec3d block: add GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN
There are cases where suppressing partition scan is useful - e.g. for
lo devices and pseudo SATA devices which advertise to be a disk but
get upset on partition scan (some port multiplier control devices show
such behavior).

This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions.  disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using
BLKPG_ADD/DEL_PARTITION calls from userland.  show_partition() now
directly tests disk_max_parts() to maintain backward-compatibility.

-v2: Updated to make it clear that only partition scan is suppressed
     not partitioning itself as suggested by Kay Sievers.

85ef06d1d2 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)
Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point.  It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events.  Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.

The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage.  Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.

This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers.  disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.

This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).

Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex.  disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.

It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write.  This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in

removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.

The detailed root cause is as follows.

Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.

1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
   is 0 and sda2's one is 1.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
   step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
   from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
   hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
   sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |         -1
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.

Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in
memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure
we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.

77ea887e43 implement in-kernel gendisk events handling
Currently, media presence polling for removeable block devices is done
from userland.  There are several issues with this.

* Polling is done by periodically opening the device.  For SCSI
  devices, the command sequence generated by such action involves a
  few different commands including TEST_UNIT_READY.  This behavior,
  while perfectly legal, is different from Windows which only issues
  single command, GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION.  Unfortunately, some
  ATAPI devices lock up after being periodically queried such command
  sequences.

* There is no reliable and unintrusive way for a userland program to
  tell whether the target device is safe for media presence polling.
  For example, polling for media presence during an on-going burning
  session can make it fail.  The polling program can avoid this by
  opening the device with O_EXCL but then it risks making a valid
  exclusive user of the device fail w/ -EBUSY.

* Userland polling is unnecessarily heavy and in-kernel implementation
  is lighter and better coordinated (workqueue, timer slack).

This patch implements framework for in-kernel disk event handling,
which includes media presence polling.

* bdops->check_events() is added, which supercedes ->media_changed().
  It should check whether there's any pending event and return if so.
  Currently, two events are defined - DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE and
  DISK_EVENT_EJECT_REQUEST.  ->check_events() is guaranteed not to be
  called parallelly.

* gendisk->events and ->async_events are added.  These should be
  initialized by block driver before passing the device to add_disk().
  The former contains the mask of all supported events and the latter
  the mask of all events which the device can report without polling.
  /sys/block/*/events[_async] export these to userland.

* Kernel parameter block.events_dfl_poll_msecs controls the system
  polling interval (default is 0 which means disable) and
  /sys/block/*/events_poll_msecs control polling intervals for
  individual devices (default is -1 meaning use system setting).  Note
  that if a device can report all supported events asynchronously and
  its polling interval isn't explicitly set, the device won't be
  polled regardless of the system polling interval.

* If a device is opened exclusively with write access, event checking
  is automatically disabled until all write exclusive accesses are
  released.

* There are event 'clearing' events.  For example, both of currently
  defined events are cleared after the device has been successfully
  opened.  This information is passed to ->check_events() callback
  using @clearing argument as a hint.

* Event checking is always performed from system_nrt_wq and timer
  slack is set to 25% for polling.

* Nothing changes for drivers which implement ->media_changed() but
  not ->check_events().  Going forward, all drivers will be converted
  to ->check_events() and ->media_change() will be dropped.

316d315bff block: Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requests v2
Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part->stamp)
                return;

-       if (part->in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));

With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.
