drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API

2013-09-10T22:56:32+00:00

Convert the driver shrinkers to the new API.  Most changes are compile
tested only because I either don't have the hardware or it's staging
stuff.

FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me
want to claw my eyes out.  The amount of broken code I just encountered is
mind boggling.  I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear
that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the
bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly
with a blunt lawn mower.

Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers.  They can't co-exist
in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in
menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm
subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in
pulling teeth.  And that doesn't even take into account the horrible,
broken code...

Merge branch 'for-3.11/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2013-07-23T02:02:52+00:00

Pull block IO driver bits from Jens Axboe:
 "As I mentioned in the core block pull request, due to real life
  circumstances the driver pull request would be late.  Now it looks
  like -rc2 late...  On the plus side, apart form the rsxx update, these
  are all things that I could argue could go in later in the cycle as
  they are fixes and not features.  So even though things are late, it's
  not ALL bad.

  The pull request contains:

   - Updates to bcache, all bug fixes, from Kent.

   - A pile of drbd bug fixes (no big features this time!).

   - xen blk front/back fixes.

   - rsxx driver updates, some of them deferred form 3.10.  So should be
     well cooked by now"

bcache: Allocation kthread fixes

2013-07-12T07:22:49+00:00

The alloc kthread should've been using try_to_freeze() - and also there
was the potential for the alloc kthread to get woken up after it had
shut down, which would have been bad.

bcache: Fix GC_SECTORS_USED() calculation

2013-07-12T07:22:48+00:00

Part of the job of garbage collection is to add up however many sectors
of live data it finds in each bucket, but that doesn't work very well if
it doesn't reset GC_SECTORS_USED() when it starts. Whoops.

This wouldn't have broken anything horribly, but allocation tries to
preferentially reclaim buckets that are mostly empty and that's not
gonna work with an incorrect GC_SECTORS_USED() value.

bcache: Journal replay fix

2013-07-12T07:22:48+00:00

The journal replay code starts by finding something that looks like a
valid journal entry, then it does a binary search over the unchecked
region of the journal for the journal entries with the highest sequence
numbers.

Trouble is, the logic was wrong - journal_read_bucket() returns true if
it found journal entries we need, but if the range of journal entries
we're looking for loops around the end of the journal - in that case
journal_read_bucket() could return true when it hadn't found the highest
sequence number we'd seen yet, and in that case the binary search did
the wrong thing. Whoops.

bcache: Shutdown fix

2013-07-12T07:22:47+00:00

Stopping a cache set is supposed to make it stop attached backing
devices, but somewhere along the way that code got lost. Fixing this
mainly has the effect of fixing our reboot notifier.

bcache: Fix a sysfs splat on shutdown

2013-07-12T07:22:47+00:00

If we stopped a bcache device when we were already detaching (or
something like that), bcache_device_unlink() would try to remove a
symlink from sysfs that was already gone because the bcache dev kobject
had already been removed from sysfs.

So keep track of whether we've removed stuff from sysfs.

bcache: Advertise that flushes are supported

2013-07-12T07:22:46+00:00

Whoops - bcache's flush/FUA was mostly correct, but flushes get filtered
out unless we say we support them...

There is a missing NULL check after the kzalloc().

bcache: Fix a dumb race

2013-07-12T07:22:33+00:00

In the far-too-complicated closure code - closures can have destructors,
for probably dubious reasons; they get run after the closure is no
longer waiting on anything but before dropping the parent ref, intended
just for freeing whatever memory the closure is embedded in.

Trouble is, when remaining goes to 0 and we've got nothing more to run -
we also have to unlock the closure, setting remaining to -1. If there's
a destructor, that unlock isn't doing anything - nobody could be trying
to lock it if we're about to free it - but if the unlock _is needed...
that check for a destructor was racy. Argh.
