If only a subset of the devices associated with multiple regions support
a given special operation (eg. DISCARD) then the dec_count() that is
used to set error for the region must increment the io->count.
Otherwise, when the dec_count() is called it can cause the dm-io
caller's bio to be completed multiple times. As was reported against
the dm-mirror target that had mirror legs with a mix of discard
capabilities.

dm-integrity would successfully create mappings with the number of
sectors greater than the provided data sector count. Attempts to read
sectors of this mapping that were beyond the provided data sector count
would then yield run-time messages of the form "device-mapper:
integrity: Too big sector number: ...".
Fix this by emitting an error when the requested mapping size is bigger
than the provided data sector count.

The new per-cpu counter for writes_pending is initialised in
md_alloc(), which is not called by dm-raid.
So dm-raid fails when md_write_start() is called.
Move the initialization to the personality modules
that need it. This way it is always initialised when needed,
but isn't unnecessarily initialized (requiring memory allocation)
when the personality doesn't use writes_pending.

Commit b685d3d65ac7 "block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous" removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions
Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

This makes it possible, with appropriate filesystem support, for a
sysadmin to tell what is affected by the mismatch, and whether
it should be ignored (if it's inside a swap partition, for
instance).
We ratelimit to prevent log flooding: if there are so many
mismatches that ratelimiting is necessary, the individual messages
are relatively unlikely to be important (either the machine is

DM-Verity has an (undocumented) mode where no salt is used. This was
never handled directly by the DM-Verity code, instead working due to the
fact that calling crypto_shash_update() with a zero length data is an
implicit noop.
This is no longer the case now that we have switched to
crypto_ahash_update(). Fix the issue by introducing explicit handling

Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to
unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than
4GiB of data to be retained.
Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment
"count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.
While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers(). Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

Even if all the IO is going to the fast device, writebacks can

Otherwise, synthetic IO tests (e.g. fio) that might send all IO to the

If an array consists of two drives and the first drive has the bad
block, the read request to the region overlapping the bad block chooses
the same disk (with bad block) as device to read from over and over and
the request gets stuck. If the first disk only partially overlaps with
bad block, it becomes a candidate ("best disk") for shorter range of
sectors. The second disk is capable of reading the entire requested
range and it is updated accordingly, however it is not recorded as a
best device for the request. In the end the request is sent to the first
disk to read entire range of sectors. It fails and is re-tried in a
moment but with the same outcome.
Actually it is quite likely scenario but it had little exposure in my
test until commit 715d40b93b10 ("md/raid1: add failfast handling for
reads.") removed preference for idle disk. Such scenario had been
passing as second disk was always chosen when idle.
Reset a candidate ("best disk") to read from if disk can read entire
range. Do it only if other disk has already been chosen as a candidate
for a smaller range. The head position / disk type logic will select
the best disk to read from - it is fine as disk with bad block won't be
considered for it.

Currently, sync of raid456 array cannot make progress when hitting
data in writeback r5cache.
This patch fixes this issue by flushing cached data of the stripe
before processing the sync request. This is achived by:
1. In handle_stripe(), do not set STRIPE_SYNCING if the stripe is
in write back cache;
2. In r5c_try_caching_write(), handle the stripe in sync with write
through;
3. In do_release_stripe(), make stripe in sync write out and send
it to the state machine.

For the raid456 with writeback cache, when journal device failed during
normal operation, it is still possible to persist all data, as all
pending data is still in stripe cache. However, it is necessary to handle
journal failure gracefully.
During journal failures, the following logic handles the graceful shutdown
of journal:
1. raid5_error() marks the device as Faulty and schedules async work
log->disable_writeback_work;
2. In disable_writeback_work (r5c_disable_writeback_async), the mddev is
suspended, set to write through, and then resumed. mddev_suspend()
flushes all cached stripes;
3. All cached stripes need to be flushed carefully to the RAID array.
This patch fixes issues within the process above:
1. In r5c_update_on_rdev_error() schedule disable_writeback_work for
journal failures;
2. In r5c_disable_writeback_async(), wait for MD_SB_CHANGE_PENDING,
since raid5_error() updates superblock.
3. In handle_stripe(), allow stripes with data in journal (s.injournal > 0)
to make progress during log_failed;
4. In delay_towrite(), if log failed only process data in the cache (skip
new writes in dev->towrite);
5. In __get_priority_stripe(), process loprio_list during journal device
failures.
6. In raid5_remove_disk(), wait for all cached stripes are flushed before
calling log_exit().

There are complaints that raid0 discard handling is slow. Currently we
divide discard request into chunks and dispatch to underlayer disks. The
block layer will do merge to form big requests. This causes a lot of
request split/merge and uses significant CPU time.
A simple idea is to calculate the range for each raid disk for an IO
request and send a discard request to raid disks, which will avoid the
split/merge completely. Previously Coly tried the approach, but the
implementation was too complex because of raid0 zones. This patch always
split bio in zone boundary and handle bio within one zone. It simplifies
the implementation a lot.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.
[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org
[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com
This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

This essentially reverts commit b5470dc5fc18 ("md: resolve external
metadata handling deadlock in md_allow_write") with some adjustments.
Since commit 6791875e2e53 ("md: make reconfig_mutex optional for writes
to md sysfs files.") changing array_state to 'active' does not use
mddev_lock() and will not cause a deadlock with md_allow_write(). This
revert simplifies userspace tools that write to sysfs attributes like
"stripe_cache_size" or "consistency_policy" because it removes the need
for special handling for external metadata arrays, checking for EAGAIN
and retrying the write.

Pull block fixes and updates from Jens Axboe:
"Some fixes and followup features/changes that should go in, in this
merge window. This contains:
- Two fixes for lightnvm from Javier, fixing problems in the new code
merge previously in this merge window.
- A fix from Jan for the backing device changes, fixing an issue in
NFS that causes a failure to mount on certain setups.
- A change from Christoph, cleaning up the blk-mq init and exit
request paths.
- Remove elevator_change(), which is now unused. From Bart.
- A fix for queue operation invocation on a dead queue, from Bart.
- A series fixing up mtip32xx for blk-mq scheduling, removing a
bandaid we previously had in place for this. From me.
- A regression fix for this series, fixing a case where we wait on
workqueue flushing from an invalid (non-blocking) context. From me.
- A fix/optimization from Ming, ensuring that we don't both quiesce
and freeze a queue at the same time.
- A fix from Peter on lock ordering for CPU hotplug. Not a real
problem right now, but will be once the CPU hotplug rework goes in.
- A series from Omar, cleaning up out blk-mq debugfs support, and
adding support for exporting info from schedulers in debugfs as
well. This is really useful in debugging stalls or livelocks. From
Omar"

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
- DM cache metadata fixes to short-circuit operations that require the
metadata not be in 'fail_io' mode. Otherwise crashes are possible.
- a DM cache fix to address the inability to adapt to continuous IO
that happened to also reflect a changing working set (which required
old blocks be demoted before the new working set could be promoted)
- a DM cache smq policy cleanup that fell out from reviewing the above
- fix the Kconfig help text for CONFIG_DM_INTEGRITY
* tag 'for-4.12/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
notification from the kbuild robot.
Change summary:
- Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
namespace modes or state.
This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
devices.
- Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
memory support.
- 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
(asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
-stable.
- ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

Otherwise it is possible to trigger crashes due to the metadata being
inaccessible yet these methods don't safely account for that possibility
without these checks.

On mainline, there is no functional difference, just less code, and
symmetric lock/unlock paths.

dm-cache's smq policy tries hard to do it's work during the idle periods
when there is no IO. But if there are no idle periods (eg, a long fio
run) we still need to allow some demotions and promotions to occur.
To achieve this, pass @idle=true to queue_promotion()'s
free_target_met() call so that free_target_met() doesn't short-circuit
the possibility of demotion simply because it isn't an idle period.
