Pull NVMe changes for 4.13 from Christoph:
Highlights:
- UUID identifier support from Johannes
- Lots of cleanups from Sagi
- Host Memory Buffer support from me
And lots of cleanups and smaller fixes of course.
Note that the UUID identifier changes are based on top of the uuid tree.
I am the maintainer of that tree and will send it to Linus as soon as
4.12 is released as various other trees depend on it as well (and the
diffstat includes those changes unfortunately)
his used to be a fall through case, but we shifted code around and I
think we want a break here now.

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.
For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.
blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

A few (but not all) dm targets use a special EWOULDBLOCK error code for

But no one else knows about this magic code, and lower level drivers also
don't generate it when failing read-ahead requests for similar reasons.

Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function

in buffers not being freed when they should.

If an array consists of two drives and the first drive has the bad
block, the read request to the region overlapping the bad block chooses
the same disk (with bad block) as device to read from over and over and
the request gets stuck. If the first disk only partially overlaps with
bad block, it becomes a candidate ("best disk") for shorter range of
sectors. The second disk is capable of reading the entire requested
range and it is updated accordingly, however it is not recorded as a
best device for the request. In the end the request is sent to the first
disk to read entire range of sectors. It fails and is re-tried in a
moment but with the same outcome.
Actually it is quite likely scenario but it had little exposure in my
test until commit 715d40b93b10 ("md/raid1: add failfast handling for
reads.") removed preference for idle disk. Such scenario had been
passing as second disk was always chosen when idle.
Reset a candidate ("best disk") to read from if disk can read entire
range. Do it only if other disk has already been chosen as a candidate
for a smaller range. The head position / disk type logic will select
the best disk to read from - it is fine as disk with bad block won't be
considered for it.

Currently, sync of raid456 array cannot make progress when hitting

This patch fixes this issue by flushing cached data of the stripe
before processing the sync request. This is achived by:
1. In handle_stripe(), do not set STRIPE_SYNCING if the stripe is
in write back cache;
2. In r5c_try_caching_write(), handle the stripe in sync with write
through;
3. In do_release_stripe(), make stripe in sync write out and send

For the raid456 with writeback cache, when journal device failed during
normal operation, it is still possible to persist all data, as all
pending data is still in stripe cache. However, it is necessary to handle
journal failure gracefully.
During journal failures, the following logic handles the graceful shutdown
of journal:
1. raid5_error() marks the device as Faulty and schedules async work
log->disable_writeback_work;
2. In disable_writeback_work (r5c_disable_writeback_async), the mddev is
suspended, set to write through, and then resumed. mddev_suspend()
flushes all cached stripes;
3. All cached stripes need to be flushed carefully to the RAID array.
This patch fixes issues within the process above:
1. In r5c_update_on_rdev_error() schedule disable_writeback_work for
journal failures;
2. In r5c_disable_writeback_async(), wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING,
since raid5_error() updates superblock.
3. In handle_stripe(), allow stripes with data in journal (s.injournal > 0)
to make progress during log_failed;
4. In delay_towrite(), if log failed only process data in the cache (skip
new writes in dev->towrite);
5. In __get_priority_stripe(), process loprio_list during journal device
failures.
6. In raid5_remove_disk(), wait for all cached stripes are flushed before
calling log_exit().

There are complaints that raid0 discard handling is slow. Currently we
divide discard request into chunks and dispatch to underlayer disks. The
block layer will do merge to form big requests. This causes a lot of
request split/merge and uses significant CPU time.
A simple idea is to calculate the range for each raid disk for an IO
request and send a discard request to raid disks, which will avoid the
split/merge completely. Previously Coly tried the approach, but the
implementation was too complex because of raid0 zones. This patch always
split bio in zone boundary and handle bio within one zone. It simplifies

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

This essentially reverts commit b5470dc5fc ("md: resolve external
metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write") with some adjustments.
Since commit 6791875e2e ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes
to md sysfs files.") changing array_state to 'active' does not use
mddev_lock() and will not cause a deadlock with md_allow_write(). This
revert simplifies userspace tools that write to sysfs attributes like
"stripe_cache_size" or "consistency_policy" because it removes the need
for special handling for external metadata arrays, checking for EAGAIN
and retrying the write.
