block: Fix transfer when chunk sectors exceeds max

2018-07-03T09:25:05Z

commit 15bfd21fbc5d35834b9ea383dc458a1f0c9e3434 upstream. A device may have boundary restrictions where the number of sectors between boundaries exceeds its max transfer size. In this case, we need to cap the max size to the smaller of the two limits. Reported-by: Jitendra Bhivare Tested-by: Jitendra Bhivare Cc: Reviewed-by: Martin K.

block: don't let passthrough IO go into .make_request_fn()

2018-01-02T19:31:05Z

commit 14cb0dc6479dc5ebc63b3a459a5d89a2f1b39fed upstream. Commit a8821f3f3("block: Improvements to bounce-buffer handling") tries to make sure that the bio to .make_request_fn won't exceed BIO_MAX_PAGES, but ignores that passthrough I/O can use blk_queue_bounce() too. Especially, passthrough IO may not be sector-aligned, and the check of 'sectors < bio_sectors(*bio_orig)' inside __blk_queue_bounce() may become true even though the max bvec number doesn't exceed BIO_MAX_PAGES, then cause the bio splitted, and the original passthrough bio is submited to generic_make_request(). This patch fixes this issue by checking if the bio is passthrough IO, and use bio_kmalloc() to allocate the cloned passthrough bio.

Commit caa4b02476e3(blk-map: call blk_queue_bounce from blk_rq_append_bio) moves blk_queue_bounce() into blk_rq_append_bio(), but don't consider the fact that the bounced bio becomes invisible to caller since the parameter type is 'struct bio *'. Make it a pointer to a pointer to a bio, so the caller sees the right bio also after a bounce.

block: unalign call_single_data in struct request

2017-12-29T16:53:47Z

commit 4ccafe032005e9b96acbef2e389a4de5b1254add upstream. A previous change blindly added massive alignment to the call_single_data structure in struct request. This ballooned it in size from 296 to 320 bytes on my setup, for no valid reason at all. Use the unaligned struct __call_single_data variant instead.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

blktrace: Fix potential deadlock between delete & sysfs ops

2017-09-25T14:56:05Z

The lockdep code had reported the following unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex/1); lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that partition. The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn->count) on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code. The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being removed. Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect access to the blk_trace structure.

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data

2017-08-29T13:14:38Z

struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

bsg-lib: fix kernel panic resulting from missing allocation of reply-buffer

2017-08-24T14:22:10Z

Since we split the scsi_request out of struct request bsg fails to provide a reply-buffer for the drivers. This was done via the pointer for sense-data, that is not preallocated anymore. Failing to allocate/assign it results in illegal dereferences because LLDs use this pointer unquestioned. An example panic on s390x, using the zFCP driver, looks like this (I had debugging on, otherwise NULL-pointer dereferences wouldn't even panic on s390x): Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space Failing address: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6000 TEID: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6403 Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.
