s390/dcssblk: fix possible deadlock in remove vs. per-device attributes

2016-04-15T16:01:44+00:00

dcssblk_remove_store() holds the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore while
calling device_unregister(), which in turn tries to acquire the kernfs
kn->dev_map rwsem for the device sysfs subtree. The same rwsem is also
acquired when using the per-device sysfs attributes in the device sub-tree,
and the attribute handlers then also acquire the dcssblk_devices_sem.

This can lead to a deadlock when removing a DCSS while concurrently
reading from / writing to one of its sysfs attributes. The following
lockdep warning hinted towards the issue (CPU0 = dcssblk_remove_store,
CPU1 = dcssblk_shared_store):

[   76.496047]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[   76.496054]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   76.496059]        ----                    ----
[   76.496087]   lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   76.496090]                                lock(s_active#175);
[   76.496106]                                lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   76.496110]   lock(s_active#175);
[   76.496115]
 *** DEADLOCK ***

Fix this by releasing the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore, which only
protects internal DCSS data, before calling device_unregister().

s390/scm_blk: fix deadlock for requests != REQ_TYPE_FS

2016-04-01T15:20:54+00:00

When we refuse a non REQ_TYPE_FS request in the build request function
we already hold the queue lock. Thus we must not call blk_end_request_all
but __blk_end_request_all.

s390/dasd: reorder lcu and device lock

2016-03-17T12:18:25+00:00

Reorder lcu and device lock to get rid of the error-prone trylock
mechanism.

The locking order is lcu lock -> device lock.
This protects against changes to the lcu device lists and enables us
to iterate over the devices, take the cdev lock and make changes to
the device structures.

The complicated part is the summary unit check handler that gets an
interrupt on one device of the lcu that leads to structural changes of
the whole lcu itself. This work needs to be done even if devices on
the lcu disappear. So a device independent worker is used.
The old approach tried to update some lcu structures and set up the
lcu worker in the interrupt context with the device lock held.
But this forced the lock order "cdev lock -> lcu lock" that made it
hard to have the lcu lock held and iterate over all devices and change
them.

The new approach is to schedule a device specific worker that gets
out of the interrupt context and rid of the device lock for summary
unit checks. This worker is able to take the lcu lock and schedule the
lcu worker that updates all devices. The time between interrupt and
worker execution is no problem because the devices in the lcu reject
all I/O in this time with an appropriate error. The dasd driver can
deal with this situation and re-drive the I/O later on.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

2016-03-16T17:47:45+00:00

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:

 - Add the CPU id for the new z13s machine

 - Add a s390 specific XOR template for RAID-5 checksumming based on the
   XC instruction.  Remove all other alternatives, XC is always faster

 - The merge of our four different stack tracers into a single one

 - Tidy up the code related to page tables, several large inline
   functions are now out-of-line.  Bloat-o-meter reports ~11K text size
   reduction

 - A binary interface for the priviledged CLP instruction to retrieve
   the hardware view of the installed PCI functions

 - Improvements for the dasd format code

 - Bug fixes and cleanups

s390/dasd: Refactor dasd format functions

2016-03-07T12:12:00+00:00

Prepare for new format checking function by renaming functions and
moving reusable code to separate functions:

- Move sanity checks into a new function and make it reusable.
- Move common format code to a new function called
  dasd_eckd_format_process_data.
- Create the generic function dasd_eckd_format_build_ccw_req, which
  itself will then decide what ccw request is being built according to
  the input data. (with upcoming functionality).

s390/dasd: Simplify code in format logic

2016-03-07T12:11:58+00:00

Currently, dasd_format is calling the format logic of a DASD discipline
with PAV enabled. If that fails with an error code of -EAGAIN the value
of retries is decremented and the discipline function is called with PAV
turned off.

The loop is supposed to try this up to 255 times until success. However,
-EAGAIN can only occur once here and therefore the loop will never reach
the 255 retries.

So, replace the unnecessarily complicated loop logic and simply try again
without PAV enabled in case of an -EAGAIN error.

s390/dasd: fix diag 0x250 inline assembly

2016-03-02T12:43:48+00:00

git commit 1ec2772e0c3c ("s390/diag: add a statistic for diagnose
calls") added function calls to gather diagnose statistics.

In case of the dasd diag driver the function call was added between a
register asm statement which initialized register r2 and the inline
assembly itself.  The function call clobbers the contents of register
r2 and therefore the diag 0x250 call behaves in a more or less random
way.

Fix this by extracting the function call into a separate function like
we do everywhere else.
