zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer

2014-11-14T00:17:05Z

zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram page becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io. The current code doesn't handle this case and performs kunmap_atomic() on a NULL pointer, which panics the kernel. This patch fixes this issue.

Pull ceph fixes from Sage Weil: "There is a GFP flag fix from Mike Christie, an error code fix from Jan, and fixes for two unnecessary allocations (kmalloc and workqueue) from Ilya. All are well tested.

Pull sparc update from David Miller: "Two changes: 1) It makes no sense to execute a VTOC partition table request in the Sun virtual block device driver and fail to load if it doesn't succeed because a) we don't use the result at all and b) it won't succeed if there is an EFI partition on the disk, for example. We read the partition table via the normal means in the block layer anyways, so this is really completely useless, so just remove it. From Dwight Engen. 2) Hook up new bpf system call" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: sunvdc: don't call VD_OP_GET_VTOC sparc: Hook up bpf system call.

sunvdc: don't call VD_OP_GET_VTOC

2014-10-31T19:49:45Z

The VD_OP_GET_VTOC operation will succeed only if the vdisk backend has a VTOC label, otherwise it will fail. In particular, it will return error 48 (ENOTSUP) if the disk has an EFI label. VTOC disk labels are already handled by directly reading the disk in block/partitions/sun.c (enabled by CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION which defaults to y on SPARC). Since port->label is unused in the driver, remove the call and the field. Signed-off-by: Dwight Engen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rbd: Fix error recovery in rbd_obj_read_sync()

2014-10-30T10:11:51Z

When we fail to allocate page vector in rbd_obj_read_sync() we just basically ignore the problem and continue which will result in an oops later. Fix the problem by returning proper error.

rbd: use a single workqueue for all devices

2014-10-30T10:11:25Z

Using one queue per device doesn't make much sense given that our workfn processes "devices" and not "requests". Switch to a single workqueue for all devices. Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov Reviewed-by: Sage Weil

zram: avoid NULL pointer access in concurrent situation

2014-10-29T23:33:15Z

There is a rare NULL pointer bug in mem_used_total_show() and mem_used_max_store() in concurrent situation, like this: zram is not initialized, process A is a mem_used_total reader which runs periodically, while process B try to init zram. process A process B access meta, get a NULL value init zram, done init_done() is true access meta->mem_pool, get a NULL pointer BUG This patch fixes this issue.

null_blk: Cleanup error recovery in null_add_dev()

2014-10-22T13:59:25Z

When creation of queues fails in init_driver_queues(), we free the queues. But null_add_dev() doesn't test for this failure and continues with the setup leading to strange consequences, likely oops. Fix the problem by testing whether init_driver_queues() failed and do proper error cleanup. Coverity-id: 1148005 Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
