Merge branch 'for-4.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-01-19T23:03:34+00:00

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "We don't have a lot of core changes this time around, it's mostly in
  drivers, which will come in a subsequent pull.

  The cores changes include:

   - blk-mq
        - Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to
          take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep.
        - Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy
          and blk-mq for timer usage.
        - Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse
          of CPU masks.

   - Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open
     coding it.

   - From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds,
     and a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put.

   - A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith.  We
     yanked a broken version of this from 4.4-rc final, this one works.

   - From Mike Krinkin, emit a trace message when we split.

   - From Wei Tang, two small cleanups, not explicitly clearing memory
     that is already cleared"

* 'for-4.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: use bd{grab,put}() instead of open-coding
  block: split bios to max possible length
  block: add call to split trace point
  blk-mq: Avoid memoryless numa node encoded in hctx numa_node
  blk-mq: Reuse hardware context cpumask for tags
  blk-mq: add a flags parameter to blk_mq_alloc_request
  Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required"
  block: clarify blk_add_timer() use case for blk-mq
  bio: use offset_in_page macro
  block: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
  block: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL
  block: rename request_queue slab cache

block: kill disk_{check|set|clear|alloc}_badblocks

These actions are completely managed by a block driver or can use the
badblocks api directly.

block: clarify badblocks lifetime

2016-01-09T16:39:04+00:00

The badblocks list attached to a gendisk is allocated by the driver
which equates to the driver owning the lifetime of the object.  Do not
automatically free it in del_gendisk(). This is in preparation for
expanding the use of badblocks in libnvdimm drivers and introducing
devm_init_badblocks().

badblocks: rename badblocks_free to badblocks_exit

2016-01-09T16:39:04+00:00

For symmetry with badblocks_init() make it clear that this path only
destroys incremental allocations of a badblocks instance, and does not
free the badblocks instance itself.

block: Add badblock management for gendisks

2016-01-09T16:36:51+00:00

NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block
devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device
exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or
write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine
check recovery features, this would mean a crash.

The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that
have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward
to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device.

Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to
gendisks.

block: fix del_gendisk() vs blkdev_ioctl crash

2016-01-09T14:35:12+00:00

When tearing down a block device early in its lifetime, userspace may
still be performing discovery actions like blkdev_ioctl() to re-read
partitions.

The nvdimm_revalidate_disk() implementation depends on
disk->driverfs_dev to be valid at entry.  However, it is set to NULL in
del_gendisk() and fatally this is happening *before* the disk device is
deleted from userspace view.

There's no reason for del_gendisk() to clear ->driverfs_dev.  That
device is the parent of the disk.  It is guaranteed to not be freed
until the disk, as a child, drops its ->parent reference.

We could also fix this issue locally in nvdimm_revalidate_disk() by
using disk_to_dev(disk)->parent, but lets fix it globally since
->driverfs_dev follows the lifetime of the parent.  Longer term we
should probably just add a @parent parameter to add_disk(), and stop
carrying this pointer in the gendisk.

block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk

2015-10-21T20:42:42+00:00

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.

This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.

Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:

 - Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.

 - Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.

 - Removing the dynamic allocation code.

 - Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
   the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.

 - Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
   pages bdi setting.

 - The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
   not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.

 - Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

block: partition: convert percpu ref

2015-07-17T14:41:53+00:00

Percpu refcount is the perfect match for partition's case,
and the conversion is quite straight.

With the convertion, one pair of atomic inc/dec can be saved
for accounting block I/O, which is run in hot path of block I/O.
