block: rename BIO_MAX_PAGES to BIO_MAX_VECS

2021-03-11T14:47:48Z

Ever since the addition of multipage bio_vecs BIO_MAX_PAGES has been horribly confusingly misnamed. Rename it to BIO_MAX_VECS to stop confusing users of the bio API.

dm writecache: fix writing beyond end of underlying device when shrinking

2021-02-09T22:09:02Z

Do not attempt to write any data beyond the end of the underlying data device while shrinking it. The DM writecache device must be suspended when the underlying data device is shrunk. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm writecache: return the exact table values that were set

2021-02-08T16:32:54Z

LVM doesn't like it when the target returns different values from what was set in the constructor. Fix dm-writecache so that the returned table values are exactly the same as requested values. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.18+ Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm writecache: fix performance degradation in ssd mode

Fix a thinko in ssd_commit_superblock. region.count is in sectors, not bytes. This bug doesn't corrupt data, but it causes performance degradation.

dm writecache: fix the maximum number of arguments

Merge tag 'ras_updates_for_v5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2020-10-12T17:14:38Z

Pull RAS updates from Borislav Petkov: - Extend the recovery from MCE in kernel space also to processes which encounter an MCE in kernel space but while copying from user memory by sending them a SIGBUS on return to user space and umapping the faulty memory, by Tony Luck and Youquan Song. - memcpy_mcsafe() rework by splitting the functionality into copy_mc_to_user() and copy_mc_to_kernel(). This, as a result, enables support for new hardware which can recover from a machine check encountered during a fast string copy and makes that the default and lets the older hardware which does not support that advance recovery, opt in to use the old, fragile, slow variant, by Dan Williams. - New AMD hw enablement, by Yazen Ghannam and Akshay Gupta. - Do not use MSR-tracing accessors in #MC context and flag any fault while accessing MCA architectural MSRs as an architectural violation with the hope that such hw/fw misdesigns are caught early during the hw eval phase and they don't make it into production. - Misc fixes, improvements and cleanups, as always. * tag 'ras_updates_for_v5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/mce: Allow for copy_mc_fragile symbol checksum to be generated x86/mce: Decode a kernel instruction to determine if it is copying from user x86/mce: Recover from poison found while copying from user space x86/mce: Avoid tail copy when machine check terminated a copy from user x86/mce: Add _ASM_EXTABLE_CPY for copy user access x86/mce: Provide method to find out the type of an exception handler x86/mce: Pass pointer to saved pt_regs to severity calculation routines x86/copy_mc: Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}() x86/mce: Drop AMD-specific "DEFERRED" case from Intel severity rule list x86/mce: Add Skylake quirk for patrol scrub reported errors RAS/CEC: Convert to DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE() x86/mce: Annotate mce_rd/wrmsrl() with noinstr x86/mce/dev-mcelog: Do not update kflags on AMD systems x86/mce: Stop mce_reign() from re-computing severity for every CPU x86/mce: Make mce_rdmsrl() panic on an inaccessible MSR x86/mce: Increase maximum number of banks to 64 x86/mce: Delay clearing IA32_MCG_STATUS to the end of do_machine_check() x86/MCE/AMD, EDAC/mce_amd: Remove struct smca_hwid.xec_bitmap RAS/CEC: Fix cec_init() prototype
