lib/scatterlist: Fix to calculate the last_pg properly

2023-01-16T16:08:31Z

The last_pg is wrong, it is actually the first page of the last scatterlist element. To get the last page of the last scatterlist element we have to add prv->length. So it is checking mergability against the wrong page, Further, a SG element is not guaranteed to end on a page boundary, so we have to check the sub page location also for merge eligibility. Fix the above by checking physical contiguity based on PFNs, compute the actual last page and then call pages_are_mergable().

lib/scatterlist: Fix to merge contiguous pages into the last SG properly

2023-01-05T20:01:05Z

When sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages() calls to pages_are_mergeable() in its 'sgt_append->prv' flow to check whether it can merge contiguous pages into the last SG, it passes the page arguments in the wrong order. The first parameter should be the next candidate page to be merged to the last page and not the opposite. The current code leads to a corrupted SG which resulted in OOPs and unexpected errors when non-contiguous pages are merged wrongly. Fix to pass the page parameters in the right order.

lib/scatterlist: add check when merging zone device pages

2022-11-09T18:29:21Z

Consecutive zone device pages should not be merged into the same sgl or bvec segment with other types of pages or if they belong to different pgmaps. Otherwise getting the pgmap of a given segment is not possible without scanning the entire segment. This helper returns true either if both pages are not zone device pages or both pages are zone device pages with the same pgmap. Factor out the check for page mergability into a pages_are_mergable() helper and add a check with zone_device_pages_are_mergeable().

lib/scatterlist: use matched parameter type when calling __sg_free_table()

2022-07-18T00:31:39Z

commit 4635873c561a ("scsi: lib/sg_pool.c: improve APIs for allocating sg pool") changeed @(bool)skip_first_chunk of __sg_free_table() to @(unsigned int)nents_first_chunk, so use unsigend int type instead of bool type (false -> 0) when calling the function in sg_free_append_table() and sg_free_table().

mm/scatterlist: replace the !preemptible warning in sg_miter_stop()

2021-11-09T18:02:50Z

sg_miter_stop() checks for disabled preemption before unmapping a page via kunmap_atomic(). The kernel doc mentions under context that preemption must be disabled if SG_MITER_ATOMIC is set. There is no active requirement for the caller to have preemption disabled before invoking sg_mitter_stop(). The sg_mitter_*() implementation itself has no such requirement. In fact, preemption is disabled by kmap_atomic() as part of sg_miter_next() and remains disabled as long as there is an active SG_MITER_ATOMIC mapping. This is a consequence of kmap_atomic() and not a requirement for sg_mitter_*() itself. The user chooses SG_MITER_ATOMIC because it uses the API in a context where blocking is not possible or blocking is possible but he chooses a lower weight mapping which is not available on all CPUs and so it might need less overhead to setup at a price that now preemption will be disabled. The kmap_atomic() implementation on PREEMPT_RT does not disable preemption. It simply disables CPU migration to ensure that the task remains on the same CPU while the caller remains preemptible. This in turn triggers the warning in sg_miter_stop() because preemption is allowed. The PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT implementation of kmap_atomic() disable pagefaults as a requirement. It is sufficient to check for this instead of disabled preemption. Check for disabled pagefault handler in the SG_MITER_ATOMIC case. Remove the "preemption disabled" part from the kernel doc as the sg_milter*() implementation does not care.

scatterlist: replace flush_kernel_dcache_page with flush_dcache_page

2021-09-03T16:58:13Z

Pages used in scatterlist can be mapped page cache pages (and often are), so we must use flush_dcache_page here instead of the more limited flush_kernel_dcache_page that is intended for highmem pages only. Also remove the PageSlab check given that page_mapping_file as used by the flush_dcache_page implementations already contains that check.

lib/scatterlist: Fix wrong update of orig_nents

2021-08-24T22:52:40Z

orig_nents should represent the number of entries with pages, but __sg_alloc_table_from_pages sets orig_nents as the number of total entries in the table. This is wrong when the API is used for dynamic allocation where not all the table entries are mapped with pages. It wasn't observed until now, since RDMA umem who uses this API in the dynamic form doesn't use orig_nents implicit or explicit by the scatterlist APIs. Fix it by changing the append API to track the SG append table state and have an API to free the append table according to the total number of entries in the table. Now all APIs set orig_nents as number of enries with pages.

2021-08-24T18:21:14Z

RDMA is the only in-kernel user that uses __sg_alloc_table_from_pages to append pages dynamically. In the next patch. That mode will be extended and that function will get more parameters. So separate it into a unique function to make such change more clear.
