Revert "block: Split bios on chunk boundaries"

2016-01-08T16:00:29Z

This reverts commit d3805611130af9b911e908af9f67a3f64f4f0914. If we end up splitting on the first segment, we don't adjust the sector count. That results in hitting a BUG() with attempting to split 0 sectors. As this is just a performance issue and not a regression since 4.3 release, let's just rever this change. That gives us more time to test a real fix for 4.5, which would be marked for stable anyway.

block: add blk_start_queue_async()

2015-12-28T20:07:07Z

We currently only have an inline/sync helper to restart a stopped queue. If drivers need an async version, they have to roll their own. Add a generic helper instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Split bios on chunk boundaries

2015-12-23T00:19:25Z

For h/w that advertise their block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not submit commands that cross them. This patch uses that criteria if it is provided. If it is not provided, this patch uses the max sectors as before. Signed-off-by: Keith Busch Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "Three small fixes for 4.4 final. Specifically: - The segment issue fix from Junichi, where the old IO path does a bio limit split before potentially bouncing the pages. We need to do that in the right order, to ensure that limitations are met. - A NVMe surprise removal IO hang fix from Keith. - A use-after-free in null_blk, introduced by a previous patch in this series.

block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bio

2015-12-22T17:26:53Z

blk_queue_bio() does split then bounce, which makes the segment counting based on pages before bouncing and could go wrong. Move the split to after bouncing, like we do for blk-mq, and the we fix the issue of having the bio count for segments be wrong.

The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree 3b13758f51de ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid") conflicts in net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c with the following pending fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes. 1f7dd3e5a6e4 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling") The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter drops @css from cgrp_attach(). Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid() with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is only one target css during migration, this is fine.

SCSI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM

2015-12-04T03:35:02Z

The routines in scsi_pm.c assume that if a runtime-PM callback is invoked for a SCSI device, it can only mean that the device's driver has asked the block layer to handle the runtime power management (by calling blk_pm_runtime_init(), which among other things sets q->dev). However, this assumption turns out to be wrong for things like the ses driver. Normally ses devices are not allowed to do runtime PM, but userspace can override this setting. If this happens, the kernel gets a NULL pointer dereference when blk_post_runtime_resume() tries to use the uninitialized q->dev pointer. This patch fixes the problem by checking q->dev in block layer before handle runtime PM. Since ses doesn't define any PM callbacks and call blk_pm_runtime_init(), the crash won't occur. This fixes Bugzilla #101371. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101371 More discussion can be found from below link. http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=144163730531875&w=2 Signed-off-by: Ken Xue Acked-by: Alan Stern Cc: Xiangliang Yu Cc: James E.J.
