treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21Z

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

dm: replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-20T21:09:44Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

dm space map common: fix to ensure new block isn't already in use

2020-01-15T01:15:53Z

The space-maps track the reference counts for disk blocks allocated by both the thin-provisioning and cache targets. There are variants for tracking metadata blocks and data blocks. Transactionality is implemented by never touching blocks from the previous transaction, so we can rollback in the event of a crash. When allocating a new block we need to ensure the block is free (has reference count of 0) in both the current and previous transaction. Prior to this fix we were doing this by searching for a free block in the previous transaction, and relying on a 'begin' counter to track where the last allocation in the current transaction was. This 'begin' field was not being updated in all code paths (eg, increment of a data block reference count due to breaking sharing of a neighbour block in the same btree leaf). This fix keeps the 'begin' field, but now it's just a hint to speed up the search. Instead the current transaction is searched for a free block, and then the old transaction is double checked to ensure it's free. Much simpler. This fixes reports of sm_disk_new_block()'s BUG_ON() triggering when DM thin-provisioning's snapshots are heavily used.

dm btree: increase rebalance threshold in __rebalance2()

2019-12-05T20:27:52Z

We got the following warnings from thin_check during thin-pool setup: $ thin_check /dev/vdb examining superblock examining devices tree missing devices: [1, 84] too few entries in btree_node: 41, expected at least 42 (block 138, max_entries = 126) examining mapping tree The phenomenon is the number of entries in one node of details_info tree is less than (max_entries / 3). And it can be easily reproduced by the following procedures: $ new a thin pool $ presume the max entries of details_info tree is 126 $ new 127 thin devices (e.g. 1~127) to make the root node being full and then split $ remove the first 43 (e.g. 1~43) thin devices to make the children reblance repeatedly $ stop the thin pool $ thin_check The root cause is that the B-tree removal procedure in __rebalance2() doesn't guarantee the invariance: the minimal number of entries in non-root node should be >= (max_entries / 3). Simply fix the problem by increasing the rebalance threshold to make sure the number of entries in each child will be greater than or equal to (max_entries / 3 + 1), so no matter which child is used for removal, the number will still be valid.

dm space map metadata: fix missing store of apply_bops() return value

2019-08-22T20:11:24Z

In commit 6096d91af0b6 ("dm space map metadata: fix occasional leak of a metadata block on resize"), we refactor the commit logic to a new function 'apply_bops'. But when that logic was replaced in out() the return value was not stored. This may lead out() returning a wrong value to the caller.

dm btree: fix order of block initialization in btree_split_beneath

2019-08-22T20:11:23Z

When btree_split_beneath() splits a node to two new children, it will allocate two blocks: left and right. If right block's allocation failed, the left block will be unlocked and marked dirty. If this happened, the left block'ss content is zero, because it wasn't initialized with the btree struct before the attempot to allocate the right block. Upon return, when flushing the left block to disk, the validator will fail when check this block. Then a BUG_ON is raised. Fix this by completely initializing the left block before allocating and initializing the right block.

Merge tag 'for-5.2/dm-changes-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

2019-05-16T22:55:48Z

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Improve DM snapshot target's scalability by using finer grained locking. Requires some list_bl interface improvements. - Add ability for DM integrity to use a bitmap mode, that tracks regions where data and metadata are out of sync, instead of using a journal. - Improve DM thin provisioning target to not write metadata changes to disk if the thin-pool and associated thin devices are merely activated but not used. This avoids metadata corruption due to concurrent activation of thin devices across different OS instances (e.g. split brain scenarios, which ultimately would be avoided if proper device filters were used -- but not having proper filtering has proven a very common configuration mistake) - Fix missing call to path selector type->end_io in DM multipath. This fixes reported performance problems due to inaccurate path selector IO accounting causing an imbalance of IO (e.g. avoiding issuing IO to particular path due to it seemingly being heavily used). - Fix bug in DM cache metadata's loading of its discard bitset that could lead to all cache blocks being discarded if the very first cache block was discarded (thankfully in practice the first cache block is generally in use; be it FS superblock, partition table, disk label, etc). - Add testing-only DM dust target which simulates a device that has failing sectors and/or read failures. - Fix a DM init error path reference count hang that caused boot hangs if user supplied malformed input on kernel commandline. - Fix a couple issues with DM crypt target's logging being overly verbose or lacking context. - Various other small fixes to DM init, DM multipath, DM zoned, and DM crypt. * tag 'for-5.2/dm-changes-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (42 commits) dm: fix a couple brace coding style issues dm crypt: print device name in integrity error message dm crypt: move detailed message into debug level dm ioctl: fix hang in early create error condition dm integrity: whitespace, coding style and dead code cleanup dm integrity: implement synchronous mode for reboot handling dm integrity: handle machine reboot in bitmap mode dm integrity: add a bitmap mode dm integrity: introduce a function add_new_range_and_wait() dm integrity: allow large ranges to be described dm ingerity: pass size to dm_integrity_alloc_page_list() dm integrity: introduce rw_journal_sectors() dm integrity: update documentation dm integrity: don't report unused options dm integrity: don't check null pointer before kvfree and vfree dm integrity: correctly calculate the size of metadata area dm dust: Make dm_dust_init and dm_dust_exit static dm dust: remove redundant unsigned comparison to less than zero dm mpath: always free attached_handler_name in parse_path() dm init: fix max devices/targets checks ...
