commit 3b2710824e00d238554c13b5add347e6c701ab1a upstream.

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a nbd device can have. However if a user specifies very large
value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and
can cause a kernel oops (or, at least, produce invalid device
nodes in some cases).

In addition, specifying large 'nbds_max' value causes same
problem for the same reason.

On my desktop, following command results to the kernel bug:

$ sudo modprobe nbd max_part=100000

commit d4dc210f69bcb0b4bef5a83b1c323817be89bad1 upstream.

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write.  This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress.  This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.

This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

Note for stable: 2.6.38 and later only

<title>brd: handle on-demand devices correctly</title>

commit af46566885a373b0a526932484cd8fef8de7b598 upstream.

When finding or allocating a ram disk device, brd_probe() did not take
partition numbers into account so that it can result to a different
device. Consider following example (I set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=4
for simplicity) :

$ sudo modprobe brd max_part=15
$ ls -l /dev/ram*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1,  0 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 16 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 32 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 48 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram3
$ sudo mknod /dev/ram4 b 1 64
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram4 bs=4k count=256
256+0 records in
256+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.00215578 s, 486 MB/s
namhyung@leonhard:linux$ ls -l /dev/ram*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1,    0 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1,   16 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1,   32 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1,   48 2011-05-25 15:41 /dev/ram3
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,   64 2011-05-25 15:45 /dev/ram4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 1024 2011-05-25 15:44 /dev/ram64

After this patch, /dev/ram4 - instead of /dev/ram64 - was
accessed correctly.

In addition, 'range' passed to blk_register_region() should
include all range of dev_t that RAMDISK_MAJOR can address.
It does not need to be limited by partition numbers unless
'rd_nr' param was specified.

commit 315980c8688c4b06713c1a5fe9d64cdf8ab57a72 upstream.

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a brd device can have. However if a user specifies very large
value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and
can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid device
nodes in some cases).

On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu,
it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive:

$ sudo modprobe brd max_part=100000

commit 315980c8688c4b06713c1a5fe9d64cdf8ab57a72 upstream.

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a brd device can have. However if a user specifies very large
value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and
can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid device
nodes in some cases).

On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu,
it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive:

$ sudo modprobe brd max_part=100000

commit a1c15c59feee36267c43142a41152fbf7402afb6 upstream.

When finding or allocating a loop device, loop_probe() did not take
partition numbers into account so that it can result to a different
device. Consider following example:

$ sudo modprobe loop max_part=15
$ ls -l /dev/loop*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   0 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  16 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  32 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  48 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  64 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop4

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  96 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 112 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop7
$ sudo mknod /dev/loop8 b 7 128
$ sudo losetup /dev/loop8 ~/temp/disk-with-3-parts.img
$ sudo losetup -a
/dev/loop128: [0805]:278201 (/home/namhyung/temp/disk-with-3-parts.img)
$ ls -l /dev/loop*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,    0 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   16 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2048 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2049 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128p1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2050 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128p2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2051 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128p3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   32 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   48 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   64 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   80 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   96 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  112 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop7
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 7,  128 2011-05-24 22:17 /dev/loop8

After this patch, /dev/loop8 - instead of /dev/loop128 - was
accessed correctly.

In addition, 'range' passed to blk_register_region() should
include all range of dev_t that LOOP_MAJOR can address. It does
not need to be limited by partition numbers unless 'max_loop'
param was specified.

commit 78f4bb367fd147a0e7e3998ba6e47109999d8814 upstream.

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a loop block device can have. However if a user specifies very
large value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number
and can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid
device nodes in some cases).

On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu,
it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive:

$ sudo modprobe loop max_part0000

<title>rbd: fix split bio handling</title>

<id>1fec70932d867416ffe620dd17005f168cc84eb5</id>
<content type='text'>
The rbd driver currently splits bios when they span an object boundary.
However, the blk_end_request expects the completions to roll up the results
in block device order, and the split rbd/ceph ops can complete in any
order.  This patch adds a struct rbd_req_coll to track completion of split
requests and ensures that the results are passed back up to the block layer
in order.

This fixes errors where the file system gets completion of a read operation
that spans an object boundary before the data has actually arrived.  The
bug is easily reproduced with iozone with a working set larger than
available RAM.

The ops vector must be freed by the rbd_do_request caller.
