NVMe: fix type warning on 32-bit

2015-05-29T16:06:21+00:00

A recent change to the ioctl handling caused a new harmless
warning in the NVMe driver on all 32-bit machines:

drivers/block/nvme-core.c: In function 'nvme_submit_io':
drivers/block/nvme-core.c:1794:29: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]

In order to shup up that warning, this introduces a new
temporary variable that uses a double cast to extract
the pointer from an __u64 structure member.

nvme: fix kernel memory corruption with short INQUIRY buffers

2015-05-13T14:22:12+00:00

If userspace asks for an INQUIRY buffer smaller than 36 bytes, the SCSI
translation layer will happily write past the end of the INQUIRY buffer
allocation.

This is fairly easily reproducible by running the libiscsi test
suite and then starting an xfstests run.

rbd: end I/O the entire obj_request on error

2015-05-01T23:44:30+00:00

When we end I/O struct request with error, we need to pass
obj_request->length as @nr_bytes so that the entire obj_request worth
of bytes is completed.  Otherwise block layer ends up confused and we
trip on

    rbd_assert(more ^ (which == img_request->obj_request_count));

in rbd_img_obj_callback() due to more being true no matter what.  We
already do it in most cases but we are missing some, in particular
those where we don't even get a chance to submit any obj_requests, due
to an early -ENOMEM for example.

A number of obj_request->xferred assignments seem to be redundant but
I haven't touched any of obj_request->xferred stuff to keep this small
and isolated.

block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.

2015-04-27T16:27:20+00:00

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
	blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().

Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call.  In particular, the 'bdi'.

Since:
commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37
Author: Christoph Hellwig 
    fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info

moved the
   device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().

The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains

> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'

We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.

Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk().  As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

xen/blkback: safely unmap purge persistent grants

Commit c43cf3ea8385 ("xen-blkback: safely unmap grants in case they
are still in use") use gnttab_unmap_refs_async() to wait until the
mapped pages are no longer in use before unmapping them, but that
commit missed the persistent case.  Purge persistent pages can't be
unmapped either unless no longer in use.
