2016-01-09block: clarify badblocks lifetimeDan Williams1-5/+0
The badblocks list attached to a gendisk is allocated by the driver which equates to the driver owning the lifetime of the object. Do not automatically free it in del_gendisk(). This is in preparation for expanding the use of badblocks in libnvdimm drivers and introducing devm_init_badblocks(). Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

2016-01-09block: Add badblock management for gendisksVishal Verma1-0/+76
NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine check recovery features, this would mean a crash. The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device. Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to gendisks. Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2016-01-09block: fix del_gendisk() vs blkdev_ioctl crashDan Williams1-1/+0
When tearing down a block device early in its lifetime, userspace may still be performing discovery actions like blkdev_ioctl() to re-read partitions. The nvdimm_revalidate_disk() implementation depends on disk->driverfs_dev to be valid at entry. However, it is set to NULL in del_gendisk() and fatally this is happening *before* the disk device is deleted from userspace view. There's no reason for del_gendisk() to clear ->driverfs_dev. That device is the parent of the disk. It is guaranteed to not be freed until the disk, as a child, drops its ->parent reference. We could also fix this issue locally in nvdimm_revalidate_disk() by using disk_to_dev(disk)->parent, but lets fix it globally since ->driverfs_dev follows the lifetime of the parent. Longer term we should probably just add a @parent parameter to add_disk(), and stop carrying this pointer in the gendisk.

2015-10-21block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendiskMartin K. Petersen1-0/+2
Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active. This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles. Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several changes: - Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h. - Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk. - Removing the dynamic allocation code. - Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted. - Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable pages bdi setting. - The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or not now key off of the bi->profile pointer. - Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

2015-06-02writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block and cgroup. v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

2015-05-28block: discard bdi_unregister() in favour of bdi_destroy()NeilBrown1-1/+0
bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality. It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function, and it triggers if blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy() is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since Commit: 6cd18e711dd8 ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.") So this isn't wanted. It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed. Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global resource. Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy() perfectly fits these requirements. So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to bdi_destroy(), as can the writeback_bdi_unregister event which is already not used.

2012-12-19block: prevent race/cleanupDerek Basehore1-15/+30
Remove a race condition which causes a warning in disk_clear_events. This is a race between disk_clear_events() and disk_flush_events(). ev->clearing will be altered by disk_flush_events() even though we are blocking event checking through disk_flush_events(). If this happens after ev->clearing was cleared for disk_clear_events(), this can cause the WARN_ON_ONCE() in that function to be triggered. This change also has disk_clear_events() not go through a workqueue. Since we have to wait for the work to complete, we should just call the function directly. Also, since this work cannot be put on a freezable workqueue, it will have to contend with increased demand, so calling the function directly avoids this.

In disk_clear_events, do not put work on system_nrt_freezable_wq. Instead, put it on system_nrt_wq. There is a race between probing a usb and suspending the device. Since probing a usb calls disk_clear_events, which puts work on a frozen workqueue, probing cannot finish after the workqueue is frozen. However, suspending cannot finish until the usb probe is finished, so we get a deadlock, causing the system to reboot. The way to reproduce this bug is to wake up from suspend with a usb storage device plugged in, or plugging in a usb storage device right before suspend. The window of time is on the order of time it takes to probe the usb device. As long as the workqueues are frozen before the call to add_disk within sd_probe_async finishes, there will be a deadlock (which calls blkdev_get, sd_open, check_disk_change, then disk_clear_events). This is not difficult to reproduce after figuring out the timings.

2012-11-23block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a stringStephen Warren1-7/+1
This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings. Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a /PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this round including considerable API and behavior cleanups. * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as expected. * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added. These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface and behave like timer which is executed with process context. * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario the overhead isn't too high. All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished execution of any previous queueing on return. * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU hotplug handling significantly. * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU hotplug. There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them." Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts. Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more. * 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (46 commits) workqueue: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()) from try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: use cwq_set_max_active() helper for workqueue_set_max_active() workqueue: introduce cwq_set_max_active() helper for thaw_workqueues() workqueue: remove @delayed from cwq_dec_nr_in_flight() workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work item workqueue: use hotcpu_notifier() for workqueue_cpu_down_callback() workqueue: use __cpuinit instead of __devinit for cpu callbacks workqueue: rename manager_mutex to assoc_mutex workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding workqueue: deprecate __cancel_delayed_work() workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work workqueue: clean up delayed_work initializers and add missing one workqueue: make deferrable delayed_work initializer names consistent workqueue: cosmetic whitespace updates for macro definitions workqueue: deprecate system_nrt[_freezable]_wq workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync() ...

2012-08-13workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of cancel + queueTejun Heo1-4/+2
Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work(). Most conversions are straight-forward. Ones worth mentioning are, * drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped. * drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether watchdog is active or not. @fan_watchdog_active and related code dropped. * drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here. [delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like this. I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler(). Please conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended target state rather than trying to game work item pending state transitions. e.g. if timer should be modified - call mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync](). * drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling() simplified. Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are meaningless. round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta delay used by delayed_work. v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be safely converted to mod_delayed_work(). They could be calling it from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn() is running, it could deadlock. __cancel_delayed_work() users are dropped.

2012-08-01block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctlVivek Goyal1-5/+15
Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently in use. This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock as we call sector_in_part() very frequently. Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write. There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity(). v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.

2012-03-02Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event pollingAlan Stern1-5/+5
This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition. Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration. The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant, freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

This reverts commit a72c5e5eb738033938ab30d6a634b74d1d060f10. The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet. This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot of problems. It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used universally or enforced. Everything internal including device lookup and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its alias. This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been upstreamed.
