bcache: debug: avoid accessing .bi_io_vec directly

2016-11-22T15:57:55+00:00

Instead we use standard iterator way to do that.

block: bio: pass bvec table to bio_init()

2016-11-22T15:57:21+00:00

Some drivers often use external bvec table, so introduce
this helper for this case. It is always safe to access the
bio->bi_io_vec in this way for this case.

After converting to this usage, it will becomes a bit easier
to evaluate the remaining direct access to bio->bi_io_vec,
so it can help to prepare for the following multipage bvec
support.

block,fs: use REQ_* flags directly

2016-11-01T15:43:26+00:00

Remove the WRITE_* and READ_SYNC wrappers, and just use the flags
directly.  Where applicable this also drops usage of the
bio_set_op_attrs wrapper.

block: export bio_free_pages to other modules

2016-09-22T13:48:03+00:00

bio_free_pages is introduced in commit 1dfa0f68c040
("block: add a helper to free bio bounce buffer pages"),
we can reuse the func in other modules after it was
imported.

bcache: pr_err: more meaningful error message when nr_stripes is invalid

2016-08-19T03:31:03+00:00

The original error was thought to be corruption, but was actually caused by:
	make-bcache --data-offset N
where N was in bytes and should have been in sectors.  While userspace
tools should be updated to check --data-offset beyond end of volume,
hopefully this will help others that might not have noticed the units.

bcache: RESERVE_PRIO is too small by one when prio_buckets() is a power of two.

2016-08-19T03:29:49+00:00

This patch fixes a cachedev registration-time allocation deadlock.
This can deadlock on boot if your initrd auto-registeres bcache devices:

The fifo code in upstream bcache can't use the last element in the buffer,
which was the cause of the bug: if you asked for a power of two size,
it'd give you a fifo that could hold one less than what you asked for
rather than allocating a buffer twice as big.

bcache: register_bcache(): call blkdev_put() when cache_alloc() fails

2016-08-19T03:28:23+00:00

register_cache() is supposed to return an error string on error so that
register_bcache() will will blkdev_put and cleanup other user counters,
but it does not set 'char *err' when cache_alloc() fails (eg, due to
memory pressure) and thus register_bcache() performs no cleanup.

register_bcache() <----------\  <- no jump to err_close, no blkdev_put()
   |                         |
   +->register_cache()       |  <- fails to set char *err
         |                   |
         +->cache_alloc() ---/  <- returns error

This patch sets `char *err` for this failure case so that register_cache()
will cause register_bcache() to correctly jump to err_close and do
cleanup.  This was tested under OOM conditions that triggered the bug.
