block: Don't access request after it might be freed

2012-12-03T19:37:59Z

commit 893d290f1d7496db97c9471bc352ad4a11dc8a25 upstream. After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed immediately. Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone. Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary. This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated is so small.

blkcg: Fix use-after-free of q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg

2012-11-05T08:56:48Z

commit 65635cbc37e011e71b208257a25e7c1078cd039b upstream. blk_put_rl() does not call blkg_put() for q->root_rl because we don't take request list reference on q->root_blkg. However, if root_blkg is once attached then detached (freed), blk_put_rl() is confused by the bogus pointer in q->root_blkg. For example, with !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING && CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED, switching IO scheduler from cfq to deadline will cause system stall after the following warning with 3.6: > WARNING: at /work/build/linux/block/blk-cgroup.h:250 > blk_put_rl+0x4d/0x95() > Modules linked in: bridge stp llc sunrpc acpi_cpufreq freq_table mperf > ipt_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 > Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.6.0 #1 > Call Trace: > [] warn_slowpath_common+0x85/0x9d > [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x1c > [] blk_put_rl+0x4d/0x95 > [] __blk_put_request+0xc3/0xcb > [] blk_finish_request+0x232/0x23f > [] ? blk_end_bidi_request+0x34/0x5d > [] blk_end_bidi_request+0x42/0x5d > [] blk_end_request+0x10/0x12 > [] scsi_io_completion+0x207/0x4d5 > [] scsi_finish_command+0xfa/0x103 > [] scsi_softirq_done+0xff/0x108 > [] blk_done_softirq+0x8d/0xa1 > [] ? > generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x9f/0xd7 > [] __do_softirq+0x102/0x213 > [] ? lock_release_holdtime+0xb6/0xbb > [] ? raise_softirq_irqoff+0x9/0x3d > [] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 > [] do_softirq+0x4b/0xa3 > [] irq_exit+0x53/0xd5 > [] smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x34/0x36 > [] call_function_single_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 > [] ? mwait_idle+0x94/0xcd > [] ? mwait_idle+0x8b/0xcd > [] cpu_idle+0xbb/0x114 > [] rest_init+0xc1/0xc8 > [] ? csum_partial_copy_generic+0x16c/0x16c > [] start_kernel+0x3d4/0x3e1 > [] ? kernel_init+0x1f7/0x1f7 > [] x86_64_start_reservations+0xb8/0xbd > [] x86_64_start_kernel+0x101/0x110 This patch clears q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg when root blkg is destroyed.

block: fix request_queue->flags initialization

2012-10-21T16:32:40Z

commit 60ea8226cbd5c8301f9a39edc574ddabcb8150e0 upstream. A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set. For request-based drivers, blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the initial bypass is still in effect. In blk_init_allocated_queue(), or QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT to q->queue_flags instead of overwriting.

block: rate-limit the error message from failing commands

2012-08-30T23:26:25Z

When performing a cable pull test w/ active stress I/O using fio over a dual port Intel 82599 FCoE CNA, w/ 256LUNs on one port and about 32LUNs on the other, it is observed that the system becomes not usable due to scsi-ml being busy printing the error messages for all the failing commands. I don't believe this problem is specific to FCoE and these commands are anyway failing due to link being down (DID_NO_CONNECT), just rate-limit the messages here to solve this issue. v2->v1: use __ratelimit() as Tomas Henzl mentioned as the proper way for rate-limit per function. However, in this case, the failed i/o gets to blk_end_request_err() and then blk_update_request(), which also has to be rate-limited, as added in the v2 of this patch. v3-v2: resolved conflict to apply on current 3.6-rc3 upstream tip.

block: Don't use static to define "void *p" in show_partition_start()

2012-08-03T08:42:00Z

I met a odd prblem:read /proc/partitions may return zero. I wrote a file test.c: int main() { char buff[4096]; int ret; int fd; printf("pid=%d\n",getpid()); while (1) { fd = open("/proc/partitions", O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) { printf("open error %s\n", strerror(errno)); return 0; } ret = read(fd, buff, 4096); if (ret <= 0) printf("ret=%d, %s, %ld\n", ret, strerror(errno), lseek(fd,0,SEEK_CUR)); close(fd); } exit(0); } You can reproduce by: 1:while true;do cat /proc/partitions > /dev/null ;done 2:./test I reviewed the code and found: >> static void *show_partition_start(struct seq_file *seqf, loff_t *pos) >> { >> static void *p; >> >> p = disk_seqf_start(seqf, pos); >> if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) && !*pos) >> seq_puts(seqf, "major minor #blocks name\n\n"); >> return p; >> } test cat /proc/partitions p = disk_seqf_start()(Not NULL) p = disk_seqf_start()(NULL because pos) if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) && !*pos) Signed-off-by: Jianpeng Ma Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Add blk_bio_map_sg() helper

Add a helper to map a bio to a scatterlist, modelled after blk_rq_map_sg. This helper is useful for any driver that wants to create a scatterlist from its ->make_request_fn method.

block: split discard into aligned requests

2012-08-02T07:48:50Z

When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors, discards are not split with optimal alignment. In the limit case of discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks at all. Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128. A request that is submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257. However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request; 128..191 may be left intact and not discarded. With this patch, the first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left, and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257. The patch will also take into account the discard_alignment. At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity must be less than max_discard_sectors. Subsequent requests will run on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the current code.
