Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - a few conversions from atomic_t to ref_count_t

 - a DM core fix for a race during device destruction that could result
   in a BUG_ON

 - a stable@ fix for a DM cache race condition that could lead to data
   corruption when operating in writeback mode (writethrough is default)

 - various DM cache cleanups and improvements

 - add DAX support to the DM log-writes target

 - a fix for the DM zoned target's ability to deal with the last zone of
   the drive being smaller than all others

 - a stable@ DM crypt and DM integrity fix for a negative check that was
   to restrictive (prevented slab debug with XFS ontop of DM crypt from
   working)

 - a DM raid target fix for a panic that can occur when forcing a raid
   to sync

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
  like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
  In particular, this pull request contains:

   - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
     quescing.

   - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
     multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.

   - NVMe

        - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
        - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)

   - bcache
        - New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)

     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

The following BUG_ON was hit when testing repeat creation and removal of
DM devices:

    kernel BUG at drivers/md/dm.c:2919!
    CPU: 7 PID: 750 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 4.1.44

     [&lt;ffffffff817b606e&gt;] system_call_fastpath+0x12/0x71

The bug can be easily triggered, if an extra delay (e.g. 10ms) is added
between the test of DMF_FREEING &amp; DMF_DELETING and dm_get() in
dm_get_from_kobject().

To fix it, we need to ensure the test of DMF_FREEING &amp; DMF_DELETING and
dm_get() are done in an atomic way, so _minor_lock is used.

The other callers of dm_get() have also been checked to be OK: some
callers invoke dm_get() under _minor_lock, some callers invoke it under
_hash_lock, and dm_start_request() invoke it after increasing
md-&gt;open_count.

<title>dm: allocate struct mapped_device with kvzalloc</title>
<updated>2017-11-10T20:44:55+00:00</updated>

<id>856eb0916d181da6d043cc33e03f54d5c5bbe54a</id>
<content type='text'>
The structure srcu_struct can be very big, its size is proportional to the
value CONFIG_NR_CPUS. The Fedora kernel has CONFIG_NR_CPUS 8192, the field
io_barrier in the struct mapped_device has 84kB in the debugging kernel
and 50kB in the non-debugging kernel. The large size may result in failure
of the function kzalloc_node.

In order to avoid the allocation failure, we use the function
kvzalloc_node, this function falls back to vmalloc if a large contiguous
chunk of memory is not available. This patch also moves the field
io_barrier to the last position of struct mapped_device - the reason is
that on many processor architectures, short memory offsets result in
smaller code than long memory offsets - on x86-64 it reduces code size by
320 bytes.

Note to stable kernel maintainers - the kernels 4.11 and older don't have
the function kvzalloc_node, you can use the function vzalloc_node instead.

<title>locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()</title>

<id>6aa7de059173a986114ac43b8f50b297a86f09a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
expression E1, E2;
@@

- ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2
+ WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2)

@ depends on patch @
expression E;
@@

- ACCESS_ONCE(E)
+ READ_ONCE(E)

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
expression E1, E2;
@@

- ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2
+ WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2)

@ depends on patch @
expression E;
@@

- ACCESS_ONCE(E)
+ READ_ONCE(E)

<title>dm: convert table_device.count from atomic_t to refcount_t</title>

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable table_device.count is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

We already have a queue_is_rq_based helper to check if a request_queue
is request based, so we can remove the flag for it.

<title>dm ioctl: fix alignment of event number in the device list</title>

The size of struct dm_name_list is different on 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels (so "(nl + 1)" differs between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels).

This mismatch caused some harmless difference in padding when using 32-bit
or 64-bit kernel. Commit 23d70c5e52dd ("dm ioctl: report event number in
DM_LIST_DEVICES") added reporting event number in the output of
DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD. This difference in padding makes it impossible for
userspace to determine the location of the event number (the location
would be different when running on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels).

Fix the padding by using offsetof(struct dm_name_list, name) instead of
sizeof(struct dm_name_list) to determine the location of entries.

Also, the ioctl version number is incremented to 37 so that userspace
can use the version number to determine that the event number is present
and correctly located.

In addition, a global event is now raised when a DM device is created,
removed, renamed or when table is swapped, so that the user can monitor
for device changes.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Some request-based DM core and DM multipath fixes and cleanups

 - Constify a few variables in DM core and DM integrity

 - Add bufio optimization and checksum failure accounting to DM
   integrity

 - Fix DM integrity to avoid checking integrity of failed reads

 - Fix DM integrity to use init_completion

 - A couple DM log-writes target fixes

 - Simplify DAX flushing by eliminating the unnecessary flush
   abstraction that was stood up for DM's use.

* tag 'for-4.14/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush abstraction
  dm integrity: use init_completion instead of COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK
  dm integrity: make blk_integrity_profile structure const
  dm integrity: do not check integrity for failed read operations
  dm log writes: fix &gt;512b sectorsize support
  dm log writes: don't use all the cpu while waiting to log blocks
  dm ioctl: constify ioctl lookup table
  dm: constify argument arrays
  dm integrity: count and display checksum failures
  dm integrity: optimize writing dm-bufio buffers that are partially changed
  dm rq: do not update rq partially in each ending bio
  dm rq: make dm-sq requeuing behavior consistent with dm-mq behavior
  dm mpath: complain about unsupported __multipath_map_bio() return values
  dm mpath: avoid that building with W=1 causes gcc 7 to complain about fall-through
