      dm snapshot: fix a possible invalid memory access on unload · 22aa66a3
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

      dm: fix a race condition in dm_get_md · 2bec1f4a
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

      dm crypt: sort writes · b3c5fd30
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

      dm crypt: add 'submit_from_crypt_cpus' option · 0f5d8e6e
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

      dm crypt: offload writes to thread · dc267621
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

      dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools · 7145c241
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

      dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request · cf2f1abf
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

      dm io: reject unsupported DISCARD requests with EOPNOTSUPP · 37527b86
      Darrick J. Wong authored
      
      
      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.

      dm mirror: do not degrade the mirror on discard error · f2ed51ac
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      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.

       "The main change is the pNFS block server support from Christoph, which
        allows an NFS client connected to shared disk to do block IO to the
        shared disk in place of NFS reads and writes.  This also requires xfs
        patches, which should arrive soon through the xfs tree, barring

         o Several clean ups to the code
      
           One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the
           ring buffer benchmark code.
      
         o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()
      
         o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways
           to make trace events.  Lots of features have been added since the
           sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown.
           Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are
           already available.
      
         o Performance improvements.  Most notably, I found a performance bug
           where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer
           will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep.  The
           sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up
           again.  It would see that there was still not a full page, and go
           back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally
           it would see a full page.  This change has been marked for stable.
      
        Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths"

      md/raid10: fix conversion from RAID0 to RAID10 · 53a6ab4d
      NeilBrown authored
      
      
      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.

         - emulation of the "setend" instruction for 32-bit tasks (user
           endianness switching trapped in the kernel, SCTLR_EL1.E0E bit set
           accordingly)
         - compat_sys_call_table implemented in C (from asm) and made it a
           constant array together with sys_call_table
         - export CPU cache information via /sys (like other architectures)
         - DMA API implementation clean-up in preparation for IOMMU support
         - macros clean-up for KVM

      Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
       "Highlights incluse:
      
        Features:
         - Removing the forced serialisation of open()/close() calls in
           NFSv4.x (x>0) makes for a significant performance improvement in
           metadata intensive workloads.
         - Full support for the pNFS "flexible files" layout type
         - Further RPC/RDMA client improvements from Chuck
      
        Bugfixes:
         - Stable fix: NFSv4.1 backchannel calls blocking operations with !TASK_RUNNING
         - Stable fix: pnfs_generic_pg_init_read/write can be called with lseg == NULL
         - Stable fix: Fix an Oopsable condition when nsm_mon_unmon is called
           as part of the namespace cleanup,
         - Stable fix: Ensure we reference the inode for return-on-close in
           delegreturn
         - Use SO_REUSEPORT to ensure that NFSv3 TCP connections can rebind to
           the same source address/port combination during a disconnect/
           reconnect event.  This is a requirement imposed by most NFSv3
           server duplicate reply cache implementations.
      
        Optimisations:
         - Ask for no NFSv4.1 delegations on OPEN if using O_DIRECT
      
        Other:
         - Add Anna Schumaker as co-maintainer for the NFS client"

      mm/nommu.c: fix arithmetic overflow in __vm_enough_memory() · 8138a67a
      Roman Gushchin authored
      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.

      vmstat: Reduce time interval to stat update on idle cpu · 57c2e36b
      Christoph Lameter authored
      
      
      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.

      mm/page_owner.c: remove unnecessary stack_trace field · 94f759d6
      Sergei Rogachev authored
      
      
      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.
