After much discussion, it seems that the fallocate feature flag
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE maps nicely to SCSI WRITE SAME; and the feature
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE maps nicely to the devices that have been whitelisted
for zeroing SCSI UNMAP. Punch still requires that FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is
set. A length that goes past the end of the device will be clamped to the
device size if KEEP_SIZE is set; or will return -EINVAL if not. Both
start and length must be aligned to the device's logical block size.
Since the semantics of fallocate are fairly well established already, wire
up the two pieces. The other fallocate variants (collapse range, insert
range, and allocate blocks) are not supported.

When triggering thaw-filesystems via magic sysrq, the system enters a

Calling freeze_bdev() twice on the same block device without mounted
filesystem get_super() will return NULL, which will lead to NULL-ptr
dereference later in drop_super().
Check get_super() result to fix that.
Note, that this is a purely theoretical issue. We have only 3
freeze_bdev() callers. 2 of them are in filesystem code and used on a
device with mounted fs. The third one in lock_fs() has protection in
upper-layer code against freezing block device the second time without
thawing it first.

Commit abf545484d changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the
newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking
some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only
care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just
pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead.
Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under

The functionality for block device DAX was already removed with commit
acc93d30d7 ("Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices"")
However, we still had a config option hanging around that was always
disabled because it depended on CONFIG_BROKEN. This config option was
introduced in commit 03cdadb040 ("block: disable block device DAX by

This change reverts that commit, removing the dead config option.

Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
"This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is
to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This
patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
goal.
While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns
would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues
made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
everyone.
At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:
- Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.
- Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.
By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security
modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This
also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
owning user namespace of the filesystem.
One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code
simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).
This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough
adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions
are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
contains owner information.
These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.
- Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
/proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
privileged user.
- The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
instead.
Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused
problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.
There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
what is in this set of changes.
- Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
during mount.
- Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
security xattrs accordingly.
- Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already
does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
generalize this case).
Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:
- Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability]
- Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
the superblock owner to perform them.
- Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
normally.
I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
locked down and handled generically.
Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my
changes"

Currently, presence of direct_access() in block_device_operations
indicates support of DAX on its block device. Because
block_device_operations is instantiated with 'const', this DAX
capablity may not be enabled conditinally.
In preparation for supporting DAX to device-mapper devices, add
QUEUE_FLAG_DAX to request_queue flags to advertise their DAX
support. This will allow to set the DAX capability based on how
mapped device is composed.

- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on
any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.
- The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.
Other misc changes:
- When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition
is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes
would fail.
- Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems
(ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range().
dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used
to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes
mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw
block devices and for XFS real-time files.
Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem
->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block
device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response
to sync(2).

bldev_dax_fault() -> __dax_fault() to do a full DAX page fault.
Really what the pfn_mkwrite() fault handler needs to do is call
dax_pfn_mkwrite() to make sure that the radix tree entry for the given
PTE is marked as dirty so that a follow-up fsync or msync call will
flush it durably to media.

Pull final vfs updates from Al Viro:
- The ->i_mutex wrappers (with small prereq in lustre)
- a fix for too early freeing of symlink bodies on shmem (they need to
be RCU-delayed) (-stable fodder)

wrappers for ->i_mutex access
lustre: remove unused declaration
Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space
radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it
already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries.
In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new
exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or
PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback
addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time.
There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow)
that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely
on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a
given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs
shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix
trees for DAX mappings.
The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees
would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These
pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the
choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree
makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the
rest of DAX.

bio: use offset_in_page macro
block: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
block: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL
block: rename request_queue slab cache
The DAX implementation needs to protect new calls to ->direct_access()
and usage of its return value against the driver for the underlying
block device being disabled. Use blk_queue_enter()/blk_queue_exit() to
hold off blk_cleanup_queue() from proceeding, or otherwise fail new
mapping requests if the request_queue is being torn down.
This also introduces blk_dax_ctl to simplify the interface from fs/dax.c
through dax_map_atomic() to bdev_direct_access().

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:
- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.
The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

Since 52ebea749a ("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 {

If a block device is hot removed and later last reference to device

that writeback fails.
Currently we do a WARN_ON() which does not seem to be the right thing.

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).

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices
(NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface
table). 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. This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block

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:

Since 018a17bdc8 ("bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()") the
block device code writes out all dirty data whenever switching the
backing_dev_info for a block device inode. But a block device inode can
only be dirtied when it is in use, which means we only have to write it
out on the final blkdev_put, but not when doing a blkdev_get.
Factoring out the write out from the bdi list switch prepares from
removing the list switch later in the series.

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.

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.

A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus
different bdis over time. bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch
the associated bdi. The function assumes that the inode could be
dirty and transfers it between bdis if so. This is a bit nasty in
that it reaches into bdi internals.
This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode
if dirty. This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without
exposing bdi internals.

bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the
specified block_device. blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of
bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device.
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().
Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and
remove NULL handling from all the callers.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

It is very likely that block device inode will be part of BDI dirty list
as well. However it doesn't make sence to sort inodes on the b_io list
just because of this inode (as it contains buffers all over the device
anyway). So save some CPU cycles which is valuable since we hold relatively
contented wb->list_lock.

Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it
to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should
begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that
can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for
filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages
can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not
be accounted as congested.
This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may
optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under
writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added
and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the
page flags are obeyed.
Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are
not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the
problem could be addressed.

Code in blkdev.c moves a device inode to default_backing_dev_info when
the last reference to the device is put and moves the device inode back
to its bdi when the first reference is acquired. This includes moving to
wb.b_dirty list if the device inode is dirty. The code however doesn't
setup timer to wake corresponding flusher thread and while wb.b_dirty
list is non-empty __mark_inode_dirty() will not set it up either. Thus
periodic writeback is effectively disabled until a sync(2) call which can
lead to unexpected data loss in case of crash or power failure.
Fix the problem by setting up a timer for periodic writeback in case we
add the first dirty inode to wb.b_dirty list in bdev_inode_switch_bdi().

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".
But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0

compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20

sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a
To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().
The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
while [ true ]; do
losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
losetup -d /dev/loop0
done
[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
device we'll get ENXIO.
loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

We found that bdev->bd_invalidated was left set once revalidate_disk()
is called, which results in page cache flush every time that device is
open.
Specifically, we found this problem in MD block device. Once we resize
a MD device, mdadm --monitor periodically flush all page cache for that
device every 60 or 1000 seconds when it opens the device.
This bug lies since at least 3.2.0 till the latest kernel(3.6.2). Patch
is attached.
The following steps will reproduce the problem.
1. prepair a block device (eg /dev/sdb).
2. create two partitions:
sudo parted /dev/sdb
mklabel gpt
mkpart primary 0% 50%
mkpart primary 50% 100%
3. create a md device.
sudo mdadm -C /dev/md/hoge -l 1 -n 2 -e 1.2 --assume-clean --auto=md --symlink=no /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
4. create file system and mount it
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/md/hoge
sudo mkdir /mnt/test
sudo mount /dev/md/hoge /mnt/test
5. try to resize the device
sudo mdadm -G /dev/md/hoge --size=max
6. create a file to fill file cache.
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test/data bs=1M count=10
and verify the current status of file by free command.
7. mdadm monitor will open the md device every 1000 seconds and you
will find all file cache on the device are cleared.
The timing can be reduced by the following steps.
a) kill mdadm and restart it with --delay option
/sbin/mdadm --monitor --delay=30 --pid-file /var/run/mdadm/monitor.pid --daemonise --scan --syslog
or open the md device directly.
sudo dd if=/dev/md/hoge of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,
but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size
checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270bd: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of
the device" code there.
Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
write path already does.
NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The
mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
inode timestamp etc).
It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more
generic. However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted
fix.

We really don't want to look at the block size for the raw block device
accesses in fs/block-dev.c, because it may be changing from under us.
So get rid of the max_block logic entirely, since the caller should

That leaves the only user of this function in fs/buffer.c, so move the
whole function there and make it static.

This avoids cache line bouncing when many processes lock the semaphore
for read.
New percpu lock implementation
The lock consists of an array of percpu unsigned integers, a boolean
variable and a mutex.
When we take the lock for read, we enter rcu read section, check for a
"locked" variable. If it is false, we increase a percpu counter on the
current cpu and exit the rcu section. If "locked" is true, we exit the
rcu section, take the mutex and drop it (this waits until a writer
finished) and retry.
Unlocking for read just decreases percpu variable. Note that we can
unlock on a difference cpu than where we locked, in this case the
counter underflows. The sum of all percpu counters represents the number
of processes that hold the lock for read.
When we need to lock for write, we take the mutex, set "locked" variable
to true and synchronize rcu. Since RCU has been synchronized, no
processes can create new read locks. We wait until the sum of percpu
counters is zero - when it is, there are no readers in the critical
section.

The kernel may crash when block size is changed and I/O is issued
simultaneously.
Because some subsystems (udev or lvm) may read any block device anytime,
the bug actually puts any code that changes a block device size in
jeopardy.
The crash can be reproduced if you place "msleep(1000)" to
blkdev_get_blocks just before "bh->b_size = max_blocks <<
inode->i_blkbits;".
Then, run "dd if=/dev/ram0 of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1 iflag=direct"
While it is waiting in msleep, run "blockdev --setbsz 2048 /dev/ram0"
You get a BUG.
The direct and non-direct I/O is written with the assumption that block
size does not change. It doesn't seem practical to fix these crashes
one-by-one there may be many crash possibilities when block size changes
at a certain place and it is impossible to find them all and verify the
code.
This patch introduces a new rw-lock bd_block_size_semaphore. The lock is
taken for read during I/O. It is taken for write when changing block
size. Consequently, block size can't be changed while I/O is being
submitted.
For asynchronous I/O, the patch only prevents block size change while
the I/O is being submitted. The block size can change when the I/O is in
progress or when the I/O is being finished. This is acceptable because
there are no accesses to block size when asynchronous I/O is being
finished.
The patch prevents block size changing while the device is mapped with
mmap.

Hi,
We have a bug report open where a squashfs image mounted on ppc64 would
exhibit errors due to trying to read beyond the end of the disk. It can
easily be reproduced by doing the following:

Squashfs manages to read in the end block(s) of the disk during the
mount operation. Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to
block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of
disk, but are marked as mapped. Thus, it would end up submitting read
I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above. I fixed the
problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if
it fell inside of i_size.
Cheers,
Jeff

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.

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
scsi_remove_device
<scsi_device torn down>
rescan_partitions
sd_revalidate_disk
<oops>
Oopses are reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132388619710052
This patch separates the partition invalidation from rescan_partitions()
and use it for -ENOMEDIUM case.

This makes it possible to get from the inode to the request_queue with one
less cache miss. Used in followon optimization.
The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk.
This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
it's visible to block_devices. I think that's safe correct?

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export
kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce
buffer_head.h requirement accordingly.
Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit
obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.

Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

This is because bdev holds on to disk but disk doesn't pin the
associated queue. If a SCSI device is removed while the device is
still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release.
When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already
gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up
dereferencing already freed bdi.
Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated
queue is very unusual and error-prone.
Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and
put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are
put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are
complete.

On the last close of an 'md' device which as been stopped, the device
is destroyed and in particular the request_queue is freed. The free
is done in a separate thread so it might happen a short time later.
__blkdev_put calls bdev_inode_switch_bdi *after* ->release has been
called.
Since commit f758eeabeb
bdev_inode_switch_bdi will dereference the 'old' bdi, which lives
inside a request_queue, to get a spin lock. This causes the last
close on an md device to sometime take a spin_lock which lives in
freed memory - which results in an oops.
So move the called to bdev_inode_switch_bdi before the call to
->release.

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.

bd_super is currently reset to NULL in kill_block_super() so we rely on previous
users of the block_device object to initialise this value for the next user.
This quirk was exposed on RHEL5 when a third party filesystem did not always use
kill_block_super() and therefore bd_super wasn't being reset when a block_device
object was recycled within the cache. This may not be a problem upstream but
makes sense to be defensive.

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
