When the snapshot target is unloaded, snapshot_dtr() waits until pending_exceptions_count drops to zero. Then, it destroys the snapshot. Therefore, the function that decrements pending_exceptions_count should not touch the snapshot structure after the decrement. pending_complete() calls free_pending_exception(), which decrements pending_exceptions_count, and then it performs up_write(&s->lock) and it calls retry_origin_bios() which dereferences s->origin. These two memory accesses to the fields of the snapshot may touch the dm_snapshot struture after it is freed. This patch moves the call to free_pending_exception() to the end of pending_complete(), so that the snapshot will not be destroyed while pending_complete() is in progress. Signed-off-by:

The function dm_get_md finds a device mapper device with a given dev_t, increases the reference count and returns the pointer. dm_get_md calls dm_find_md, dm_find_md takes _minor_lock, finds the device, tests that the device doesn't have DMF_DELETING or DMF_FREEING flag, drops _minor_lock and returns pointer to the device. dm_get_md then calls dm_get. dm_get calls BUG if the device has the DMF_FREEING flag, otherwise it increments the reference count. There is a possible race condition - after dm_find_md exits and before dm_get is called, there are no locks held, so the device may disappear or DMF_FREEING flag may be set, which results in BUG. To fix this bug, we need to call dm_get while we hold _minor_lock. This patch renames dm_find_md to dm_get_md and changes it so that it calls dm_get while holding the lock. Signed-off-by:

Write requests are sorted in a red-black tree structure and are submitted in the sorted order. In theory the sorting should be performed by the underlying disk scheduler, however, in practice the disk scheduler only accepts and sorts a finite number of requests. To allow the sorting of all requests, dm-crypt needs to implement its own sorting. The overhead associated with rbtree-based sorting is considered negligible so it is not used conditionally. Even on SSD sorting can be beneficial since in-order request dispatch promotes lower latency IO completion to the upper layers. Signed-off-by:

Make it possible to disable offloading writes by setting the optional 'submit_from_crypt_cpus' table argument. There are some situations where offloading write bios from the encryption threads to a single thread degrades performance significantly. The default is to offload write bios to the same thread because it benefits CFQ to have writes submitted using the same IO context. Signed-off-by:

Submitting write bios directly in the encryption thread caused serious performance degradation. On a multiprocessor machine, encryption requests finish in a different order than they were submitted. Consequently, write requests would be submitted in a different order and it could cause severe performance degradation. Move the submission of write requests to a separate thread so that the requests can be sorted before submitting. But this commit improves dm-crypt performance even without having dm-crypt perform request sorting (in particular it enables IO schedulers like CFQ to sort more effectively). Note: it is required that a previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request") be applied before applying this patch. Otherwise, this commit could introduce a crash.

Fix a theoretical deadlock introduced in the previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request"). The function crypt_alloc_buffer may be called concurrently. If we allocate from the mempool concurrently, there is a possibility of deadlock. For example, if we have mempool of 256 pages, two processes, each wanting 256, pages allocate from the mempool concurrently, it may deadlock in a situation where both processes have allocated 128 pages and the mempool is exhausted. To avoid such a scenario we allocate the pages under a mutex. In order to not degrade performance with excessive locking, we try non-blocking allocations without a mutex first and if that fails, we fallback to a blocking allocations with a mutex. Signed-off-by:

Change crypt_alloc_buffer so that it only ever allocates pages for a full request. This is a prerequisite for the commit "dm crypt: offload writes to thread". This change simplifies the dm-crypt code at the expense of reduced throughput in low memory conditions (where allocation for a partial request is most useful). Note: the next commit ("dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools") is needed to fix a theoretical deadlock. Signed-off-by:

I created a dm-raid1 device backed by a device that supports DISCARD and another device that does NOT support DISCARD with the following dm configuration: # echo '0 2048 mirror core 1 512 2 /dev/sda 0 /dev/sdb 0' | dmsetup create moo # lsblk -D NAME DISC-ALN DISC-GRAN DISC-MAX DISC-ZERO sda 0 4K 1G 0 `-moo (dm-0) 0 4K 1G 0 sdb 0 0B 0B 0 `-moo (dm-0) 0 4K 1G 0 Notice that the mirror device /dev/mapper/moo advertises DISCARD support even though one of the mirror halves doesn't. If I issue a DISCARD request (via fstrim, mount -o discard, or ioctl BLKDISCARD) through the mirror, kmirrord gets stuck in an infinite loop in do_region() when it tries to issue a DISCARD request to sdb. The problem is that when we call do_region() against sdb, num_sectors is set to zero because q->limits.max_discard_sectors is zero. Therefore, "remaining" never decreases and the loop never terminates. To fix this: before entering the loop, check for the combination of REQ_DISCARD and no discard and return -EOPNOTSUPP to avoid hanging up the mirror device. This bug was found by the unfortunate coincidence of pvmove and a discard operation in the RHEL 6.5 kernel; upstream is also affected. Signed-off-by:

It may be possible that a device claims discard support but it rejects discards with -EOPNOTSUPP. It happens when using loopback on ext2/ext3 filesystem driven by the ext4 driver. It may also happen if the underlying devices are moved from one disk on another. If discard error happens, we reject the bio with -EOPNOTSUPP, but we do not degrade the array. This patch fixes failed test shell/lvconvert-repair-transient.sh in the lvm2 testsuite if the testsuite is extracted on an ext2 or ext3 filesystem and it is being driven by the ext4 driver.

dm_tm_shadow_block() is the only caller of dm_sm_count_is_more_than_one() which only ever operates on a metadata space-map. So in practice, sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() isn't actually used (which explains why this bug never amounted to anything). But fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() to properly set *result and return 0. Reported-by:

A RAID0 array (like a LINEAR array) does not have a concept of 'size' being the amount of each device that is in use. Rather, as much of each device as is available is used. So the 'size' is set to 0 and ignored. RAID10 does have this concept and needs it to be set correctly. So when we convert RAID0 to RAID10 we must determine the 'size' (that being the size of the first 'strip_zone' in the RAID0), and set it correctly. Reported-and-tested-by:

I noticed that "allowed" can easily overflow by falling below 0, because (total_vm / 32) can be larger than "allowed". The problem occurs in OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode. In this case, a huge allocation can success and overcommit the system (despite OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode). All subsequent allocations will fall (system-wide), so system become unusable. The problem was masked out by commit c9b1d098 ("mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve"), but it's easy to reproduce it on older kernels: 1) set overcommit_memory sysctl to 2 2) mmap() large file multiple times (with VM_SHARED flag) 3) try to malloc() large amount of memory It also can be reproduced on newer kernels, but miss-configured sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes is required. Fix this issue by switching to signed arithmetic here. Signed-off-by:

It was noted that the vm stat shepherd runs every 2 seconds and that the vmstat update is then scheduled 2 seconds in the future. This yields an interval of double the time interval which is not desired. Change the shepherd so that it does not delay the vmstat update on the other cpu. We stil have to use schedule_delayed_work since we are using a delayed_work_struct but we can set the delay to 0. Signed-off-by:

Page owner uses the page_ext structure to keep meta-information for every page in the system. The structure also contains a field of type 'struct stack_trace', page owner uses this field during invocation of the function save_stack_trace. It is easy to notice that keeping a copy of this structure for every page in the system is very inefficiently in terms of memory. The patch removes this unnecessary field of page_ext and forces page owner to use a stack_trace structure allocated on the stack. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use struct initializers] Signed-off-by:
