paride: make 'verbose' parameter an 'int' again

2016-03-15T23:55:16Z

gcc-6.0 found an ancient bug in the paride driver, which had a "module_param(verbose, bool, 0);" since before 2.6.12, but actually uses it to accept '0', '1' or '2' as arguments: drivers/block/paride/pd.c: In function 'pd_init_dev_parms': drivers/block/paride/pd.c:298:29: warning: comparison of constant '1' with boolean expression is always false [-Wbool-compare] #define DBMSG(msg) ((verbose>1)?(msg):NULL) In 2012, Rusty did a cleanup patch that also changed the type of the variable to 'bool', which introduced what is now a gcc warning. This changes the type back to 'int' and adapts the module_param() line instead, so it should work as documented in case anyone ever cares about running the ancient driver with debugging.

mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

2014-10-18T18:53:51Z

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe: "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18. Apart from the new and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes and cleanups. - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph. - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph. We pass it through the ->queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request bits. The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used. - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng. - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei. Now we have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq. - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott. - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun. - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes. - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing. From Joe Lawrence. - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm devices from Junichi Nomura. This allows creating clone bio sets without preallocating a lot of memory. - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and hardware queues from me. - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI shared tag setups).

block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios

2014-08-28T16:03:46Z

The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check. For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg of blk_get_request. It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was unwilling to wait.

block,scsi: verify return pointer from blk_get_request

2014-08-26T21:20:23Z

The blk-core dead queue checks introduce an error scenario to blk_get_request that returns NULL if the request queue has been shutdown. This affects the behavior for __GFP_WAIT callers, who should verify the return value before dereferencing.
