Fix loop device flush before configure v3

2017-06-08T14:04:18+00:00

While installing SLES-12 (based on v4.4), I found that the installer
will stall for 60+ seconds during LVM disk scan.  The root cause was
determined to be the removal of a bound device check in loop_flush()
by commit b5dd2f6047ca ("block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq").

Restoring this check, examining ->lo_state as set by loop_set_fd()
eliminates the bad behavior.

Test method:
modprobe loop max_loop=64
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk bs=512 count=200K
for((i=0;i<4;i++))do losetup -f disk; done
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/loop0
for((i=0;i<4;i++))do mkdir t$i; mount /dev/loop$i t$i;done
for f in `ls /dev/loop[0-9]*|sort`; do \
	echo $f; dd if=$f of=/dev/null  bs=512 count=1; \
	done

Test output:  stock          patched
/dev/loop0    18.1217e-05    8.3842e-05
/dev/loop1     6.1114e-05    0.000147979
/dev/loop10    0.414701      0.000116564
/dev/loop11    0.7474        6.7942e-05
/dev/loop12    0.747986      8.9082e-05
/dev/loop13    0.746532      7.4799e-05
/dev/loop14    0.480041      9.3926e-05
/dev/loop15    1.26453       7.2522e-05

Note that from loop10 onward, the device is not mounted, yet the
stock kernel consumes several orders of magnitude more wall time
than it does for a mounted device.
(Thanks for Mike Galbraith , give a changelog review.)

rbd: implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES

2017-05-29T09:18:01+00:00

Commit 93c1defedcae ("rbd: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag")
explicitly didn't implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for rbd, while the
following commit 48920ff2a5a9 ("block: remove the discard_zeroes_data
flag") dropped ->discard_zeroes_data in favor of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES.

rbd does support efficient zeroing via CEPH_OSD_OP_ZERO opcode and will
release either some or all blocks depending on whether the zeroing
request is rbd_obj_bytes() aligned.  This is how we currently implement
discards, so REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES can be identical to REQ_OP_DISCARD for
now.  Caveats:

- REQ_NOUNMAP is ignored, but AFAICT that's true of at least two other
  current implementations - nvme and loop

- there is no ->write_zeroes_alignment and blk_bio_write_zeroes_split()
  is hence less helpful than blk_bio_discard_split(), but this can (and
  should) be fixed on the rbd side

In the future we will split these into two code paths to respect
REQ_NOUNMAP on zeroout and save on zeroing blocks that couldn't be
released on discard.

drbd: fix request leak introduced by locking/atomic, kref: Kill kref_sub()

2017-05-11T16:04:30+00:00

When killing kref_sub(), the unconditional additional kref_get()
was not properly paired with the necessary kref_put(), causing
a leak of struct drbd_requests (~ 224 Bytes) per submitted bio,
and breaking DRBD in general, as the destructor of those "drbd_requests"
does more than just the mempoll_free().
