  for a potential hang on shutdown, and a fix for an I/O blocksize issue
  which caused a regression"

  sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests

sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests

2015-08-12T18:54:37+00:00

Commit bcdb247c6b6a ("sd: Limit transfer length") clamped the maximum
size of an I/O request to the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH field in the BLOCK
LIMITS VPD. This had the unfortunate effect of also limiting the maximum
size of non-filesystem requests sent to the device through sg/bsg.

Avoid using blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() and set the max_sectors queue
limit directly.

Also update the comment in blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() to clarify that
max_hw_sectors defines the limit for the I/O controller only.

block: Do a full clone when splitting discard bios

2015-07-23T22:21:34+00:00

This fixes a data corruption bug when using discard on top of MD linear,
raid0 and raid10 personalities.

Commit 20d0189b1012 "block: Introduce new bio_split()" permits sharing
the bio_vec between the two resulting bios. That is fine for read/write
requests where the bio_vec is immutable. For discards, however, we need
to be able to attach a payload and update the bio_vec so the page can
get mapped to a scatterlist entry. Therefore the bio_vec can not be
shared when splitting discards and we must do a full clone.

block: export bio_associate_*() and wbc_account_io()

2015-07-23T19:36:44+00:00

bio_associate_blkcg(), bio_associate_current() and wbc_account_io()
are used to implement cgroup writeback support for filesystems and
thus need to be exported.  Export them.

blkcg: fix gendisk reference leak in blkg_conf_prep()

2015-07-22T22:06:53+00:00

When a blkcg configuration is targeted to a partition rather than a
whole device, blkg_conf_prep fails with -EINVAL; unfortunately, it
forgets to put the gendisk ref in that case.  Fix it.

blk-mq: set default timeout as 30 seconds

2015-07-16T14:39:11+00:00

It is reasonable to set default timeout of request as 30 seconds instead of
30000 ticks, which may be 300 seconds if HZ is 100, for example, some arm64
based systems may choose 100 HZ.

blkcg: fix blkcg_policy_data allocation bug

2015-07-09T20:41:11+00:00

e48453c386f3 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg
data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated.
When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created.  Instead,
when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated
if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg.
This is buggy.  Consider the following scenario.

1. A blkcg is created.  No blkg's attached yet.

2. The policy is registered.  No policy data is allocated.

3. The policy is activated on a queue.  As the above blkcg doesn't
   have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data.

4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg
   still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated.

With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops.

It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming
that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care
of it; however, this also is incorrect.

1. A blkcg has policy data.

2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains.

3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot.

4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous
   blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped.  The
   policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy.

There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily.  The reason we
do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's
is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a
surprising level.  blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of
cgroups and shouldn't be a problem.

This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing
blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes
blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths.  This
makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy
they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

blkcg: implement all_blkcgs list

2015-07-09T20:41:09+00:00

Add all_blkcgs list goes through blkcg->all_blkcgs_node and is
protected by blkcg_pol_mutex.  This will be used to fix
blkcg_policy_data allocation bug.

blkcg: blkcg_css_alloc() should grab blkcg_pol_mutex while iterating blkcg_policy[]

2015-07-09T20:41:08+00:00

An entry in blkcg_policy[] is stable while there are non-bypassing
in-flight IOs on a request_queue which has the policy activated.  This
is why most derefs of blkcg_policy[] don't need explicit locking;
however, blkcg_css_alloc() isn't invoked from IO path and thus doesn't
have this protection and may race policies being added and removed.

Fix it by adding explicit blkcg_pol_mutex protection around
blkcg_policy[] iteration in blkcg_css_alloc().

blkcg: allow blkcg_pol_mutex to be grabbed from cgroup [file] methods

2015-07-09T20:41:06+00:00

blkcg_pol_mutex primarily protects the blkcg_policy array.  It also
protects cgroup file type [un]registration during policy addition /
removal.  This puts blkcg_pol_mutex outside cgroup internal
synchronization and in turn makes it impossible to grab from blkcg's
cgroup methods as that leads to cyclic dependency.

Another problematic dependency arising from this is through cgroup
interface file deactivation.  Removing a cftype requires removing all
files of the type which in turn involves draining all on-going
invocations of the file methods.  This means that an interface file
implementation can't grab blkcg_pol_mutex as draining can lead to AA
deadlock.

blkcg_reset_stats() is already in this situation.  It currently
trylocks blkcg_pol_mutex and then unwinds and retries the whole
operation on failure, which is cumbersome at best.  It has a lengthy
comment explaining how cgroup internal synchronization is involved and
expected to be updated but as explained above this doesn't need cgroup
internal locking to deadlock.  It's a self-contained AA deadlock.

The described circular dependencies can be easily broken by moving
cftype [un]registration out of blkcg_pol_mutex and protect them with
an outer mutex.  This patch introduces blkcg_pol_register_mutex which
wraps entire policy [un]registration including cftype operations and
shrinks blkcg_pol_mutex critical section.  This also makes the trylock
dancing in blkcg_reset_stats() unnecessary.  Removed.

This patch is necessary for the following blkcg_policy_data allocation
bug fixes.
