block: fix regression where bio_integrity_process uses wrong bio_vec iterator

2014-12-02T15:15:21Z

bio integrity handling is broken on a system with LVM layered atop a DIF/DIX SCSI drive because device mapper clones the bio, modifies the clone, and sends the clone to the lower layers for processing. However, the clone bio has bi_vcnt == 0, which means that when the sd driver calls bio_integrity_process to attach DIX data, the for_each_segment_all() call (which uses bi_vcnt) returns immediately and random garbage is sent to the disk on a disk write. The disk of course returns an error. Therefore, teach bio_integrity_process() to use bio_for_each_segment() to iterate the bio_vecs, since the per-bio iterator tracks which bio_vecs are associated with that particular bio. The integrity handling code is effectively part of the "driver" (it's not the bio owner), so it must use the correct iterator function. v2: Fix a compiler warning about abandoned local variables. This patch supersedes "block: bio_integrity_process uses wrong bio_vec iterator". Patch applies against 3.18-rc6. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong Acked-by: Martin K.

block: blk-merge: fix blk_recount_segments()

2014-11-11T23:24:15Z

For cloned bio, bio->bi_vcnt can't be used at all, and we have resort to bio_segments() to figure out how many segment there are in the bio. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

scsi: Fix more error handling in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND

2014-11-10T22:41:47Z

Fix an error path in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND that calls blk_put_request(rq) on an invalid IS_ERR(rq) pointer. Fixes: a492f075450f ("block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios") Signed-off-by: Tony Battersby Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-mq: make mq_queue_reinit_notify() freeze queues in parallel

2014-11-04T21:49:31Z

q->mq_usage_counter is a percpu_ref which is killed and drained when the queue is frozen. On a CPU hotplug event, blk_mq_queue_reinit() which involves freezing the queue is invoked on all existing queues. Because percpu_ref killing and draining involve a RCU grace period, doing the above on one queue after another may take a long time if there are many queues on the system. This patch splits out initiation of freezing and waiting for its completion, and updates blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() so that the queues are frozen in parallel instead of one after another. Note that freezing and unfreezing are moved from blk_mq_queue_reinit() to blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify().

block: Fix computation of merged request priority

2014-10-31T14:30:43Z

Priority of a merged request is computed by ioprio_best(). If one of the requests has undefined priority (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) and another request has priority from IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, the function will return the undefined priority which is wrong. Fix the function to properly return priority of a request with the defined priority.

block: fix wrong error return in elevator_init()

2014-10-23T18:35:42Z

while compiling integer err was showing as a set but unused variable. elevator_init_fn can be either cfq_init_queue or deadline_init_queue or noop_init_queue. all three of these functions are returning -ENOMEM if they fail to allocate the queue. so we should actually be returning the error code rather than returning 0 always.

scsi: Fix error handling in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND

2014-10-23T02:13:39Z

When sg_scsi_ioctl() fails to prepare request to submit in blk_rq_map_kern() we jump to a label where we just end up copying (luckily zeroed-out) kernel buffer to userspace instead of reporting error. Fix the problem by jumping to the right label.

blk-merge: recaculate segment if it isn't less than max segments

2014-10-22T01:00:32Z

The problem is introduced by commit 764f612c6c3c231b(blk-merge: don't compute bi_phys_segments from bi_vcnt for cloned bio), and merge is needed if number of current segment isn't less than max segments. Strictly speaking, bio->bi_vcnt shouldn't be used here since it may not be accurate in cases of both cloned bio or bio cloned from, but bio_segments() is a bit expensive, and bi_vcnt is still the biggest number, so the approach should work.

Merge branch 'for-3.18/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2014-10-18T18:53:51Z

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe: "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18. Apart from the new and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes and cleanups. - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph. - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph. We pass it through the ->queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request bits. The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used. - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng. - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei. Now we have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq. - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott. - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun. - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes. - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing. From Joe Lawrence. - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm devices from Junichi Nomura. This allows creating clone bio sets without preallocating a lot of memory. - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and hardware queues from me. - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI shared tag setups). We now just use a single queue and limited depth for that" * 'for-3.18/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (58 commits) block: Remove REQ_KERNEL blk-mq: allocate cpumask on the home node bio-integrity: remove the needless fail handle of bip_slab creating block: include func name in __get_request prints block: make blk_update_request print prefix match ratelimited prefix blk-merge: don't compute bi_phys_segments from bi_vcnt for cloned bio block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2 blk-mq: Make bt_clear_tag() easier to read blk-mq: fix potential hang if rolling wakeup depth is too high block: add bioset_create_nobvec() block: use bio_clone_fast() in blk_rq_prep_clone() block: misplaced rq_complete tracepoint sd: Honor block layer integrity handling flags block: Replace strnicmp with strncasecmp block: Add T10 Protection Information functions block: Don't merge requests if integrity flags differ block: Integrity checksum flag block: Relocate bio integrity flags block: Add a disk flag to block integrity profile block: Add prefix to block integrity profile flags ...

blk-mq: allocate cpumask on the home node

2014-10-13T21:41:54Z

All other allocs are done on the specific node, somehow the cpumask for hw queue runs was missed. Fix that by using zalloc_cpumask_var_node() in blk_mq_init_queue(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
