block: support large requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov

2016-03-03T21:45:02Z

This patch adds support for larger requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov by allowing it to build multiple bios for a request. This functionality used to exist for the non-vectored blk_rq_map_user in the past, and this patch reuses the existing functionality for it on the unmap side, which stuck around. Thanks to the iov_iter API supporting multiple bios is fairly trivial, as we can just iterate the iov until we've consumed the whole iov_iter.

block: disable block device DAX by default

2016-02-27T18:28:52Z

The recent *sync enabling discovered that we are inserting into the block_device pagecache counter to the expectations of the dirty data tracking for dax mappings. This can lead to data corruption. We want to support DAX for block devices eventually, but it requires wider changes to properly manage the pagecache. dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 dax_writeback_mapping_range+0x60/0xe0 blkdev_writepages+0x3f/0x50 do_writepages+0x21/0x30 __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0xc6/0x100 filemap_write_and_wait+0x4a/0xa0 set_blocksize+0x70/0xd0 sb_set_blocksize+0x1d/0x50 ext4_fill_super+0x75b/0x3360 mount_bdev+0x180/0x1b0 ext4_mount+0x15/0x20 mount_fs+0x38/0x170 Mark the support broken so its disabled by default, but otherwise still available for testing.

bio: return EINTR if copying to user space got interrupted

2016-02-12T15:17:41Z

Commit 35dc248383bbab0a7203fca4d722875bc81ef091 introduced a check for current->mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but user space isn't notified about it. This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user() to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with no data returned. This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while constantly sending signals to it.

block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups throttle

2016-02-09T19:33:35Z

get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they increase the reference on the disk owner module. The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and to put it: disk = get_gendisk(...); /* use disk */ owner = disk->fops->owner; put_disk(disk); module_put(owner); fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e. blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put a module reference. To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config can be used. In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0 (actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device): # lsmod | grep brd brd 5175 0 # i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \ /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \ done # lsmod | grep brd brd 5175 100 Now brd module has 100 references. The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().
