2013-11-18bio: fix argument of __bio_add_page() for max_sectors > 0xffffAkinobu Mita
The data type of max_sectors and max_hw_sectors in queue settings are unsigned int. But these values are passed to __bio_add_page() as an argument whose data type is unsigned short. In the worst case such as max_sectors is 0x10000, bio_add_page() can't add a page and IOs can't proceed.

Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed. Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these changes and the patchset is pending for the next window. - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is only used by memcg.

2013-08-21[SCSI] sg: Fix user memory corruption when SG_IO is interrupted by a signalRoland Dreier
There is a nasty bug in the SCSI SG_IO ioctl that in some circumstances leads to one process writing data into the address space of some other random unrelated process if the ioctl is interrupted by a signal. What happens is the following: - A process issues an SG_IO ioctl with direction DXFER_FROM_DEV (ie the underlying SCSI command will transfer data from the SCSI device to the buffer provided in the ioctl) - Before the command finishes, a signal is sent to the process waiting in the ioctl. This will end up waking up the sg_ioctl() code: result = wait_event_interruptible(sfp->read_wait, (srp_done(sfp, srp) || sdp->detached)); but neither srp_done() nor sdp->detached is true, so we end up just setting srp->orphan and returning to userspace: srp->orphan = 1; write_unlock_irq(&sfp->rq_list_lock); return result; /* -ERESTARTSYS because signal hit process */ At this point the original process is done with the ioctl and blithely goes ahead handling the signal, reissuing the ioctl, etc. - Eventually, the SCSI command issued by the first ioctl finishes and ends up in sg_rq_end_io(). At the end of that function, we run through: write_lock_irqsave(&sfp->rq_list_lock, iflags); if (unlikely(srp->orphan)) { if (sfp->keep_orphan) srp->sg_io_owned = 0; else done = 0; } srp->done = done; write_unlock_irqrestore(&sfp->rq_list_lock, iflags); if (likely(done)) { /* Now wake up any sg_read() that is waiting for this * packet. */ wake_up_interruptible(&sfp->read_wait); kill_fasync(&sfp->async_qp, SIGPOLL, POLL_IN); kref_put(&sfp->f_ref, sg_remove_sfp); } else { INIT_WORK(&srp->ew.work, sg_rq_end_io_usercontext); schedule_work(&srp->ew.work); } Since srp->orphan *is* set, we set done to 0 (assuming the userspace app has not set keep_orphan via an SG_SET_KEEP_ORPHAN ioctl), and therefore we end up scheduling sg_rq_end_io_usercontext() to run in a workqueue. - In workqueue context we go through sg_rq_end_io_usercontext() -> sg_finish_rem_req() -> blk_rq_unmap_user() -> ... -> bio_uncopy_user() -> __bio_copy_iov() -> copy_to_user(). The key point here is that we are doing copy_to_user() on a workqueue -- that is, we're on a kernel thread with current->mm equal to whatever random previous user process was scheduled before this kernel thread. So we end up copying whatever data the SCSI command returned to the virtual address of the buffer passed into the original ioctl, but it's quite likely we do this copying into a different address space! As suggested by James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@hansenpartnership.com>, add a check for current->mm (which is NULL if we're on a kernel thread without a real userspace address space) in bio_uncopy_user(), and skip the copy if we're on a kernel thread. There's no reason that I can think of for any caller of bio_uncopy_user() to want to do copying on a kernel thread with a random active userspace address space.

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors - cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward. The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even indicate it's somehow related to cgroup. We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache. Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state() to task_css(). This patch is pure rename. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>

2013-03-23block: Convert some code to bio_for_each_segment_all()Kent Overstreet
More prep work for immutable bvecs: A few places in the code were either open coding or using the wrong version - fix. After we introduce the bvec iter, it'll no longer be possible to modify the biovec through bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a pointer to the current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a pointer) which is updated with what the current biovec would be (taking into account bi_bvec_done and bi_size). So because of that it's more worthwhile to be consistent about bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.

2013-03-23block: Add bio_for_each_segment_all()Kent Overstreet
__bio_for_each_segment() iterates bvecs from the specified index instead of bio->bv_idx. Currently, the only usage is to walk all the bvecs after the bio has been advanced by specifying 0 index. For immutable bvecs, we need to split these apart; bio_for_each_segment() is going to have a different implementation. This will also help document the intent of code that's using it - bio_for_each_segment_all() is only legal to use for code that owns the bio.

2013-03-23block: Change bio_split() to respect the current value of bi_idxKent Overstreet
In the current code bio_split() won't be seeing partially completed bios so this doesn't change any behaviour, but this makes the code a bit clearer as to what bio_split() actually requires. The immediate purpose of the patch is removing unnecessary bi_idx references, but the end goal is to allow partial completed bios to be submitted, which along with immutable biovecs enables effecient bio splitting. Some of the callers were (double) checking that bios could be split, so update their checks too.

2013-03-23block: Convert integrity to bvec_alloc_bs()Kent Overstreet
This adds a pointer to the bvec array to struct bio_integrity_payload, instead of the bvecs always being inline; then the bvecs are allocated with bvec_alloc_bs(). Changed bvec_alloc_bs() and bvec_free_bs() to take a pointer to a mempool instead of the bioset, so that bio integrity can use a different mempool for its bvecs, and thus avoid a potential deadlock. This is eventually for immutable bio vecs - immutable bvecs aren't useful if we still have to copy them, hence the need for the pointer. Less code is always nice too, though. Also, bio_integrity_alloc() was using fs_bio_set if no bio_set was specified. This was wrong - using the bio_set doesn't protect us from memory allocation failures, because we just used kmalloc for the bio_integrity_payload. But it does introduce the possibility of deadlock, if for some reason we weren't supposed to be using fs_bio_set.

2013-03-23block: Avoid deadlocks with bio allocation by stacking driversKent Overstreet
Previously, if we ever try to allocate more than once from the same bio set while running under generic_make_request() (i.e. a stacking block driver), we risk deadlock. This is because of the code in generic_make_request() that converts recursion to iteration; any bios we submit won't actually be submitted (so they can complete and eventually be freed) until after we return - this means if we allocate a second bio, we're blocking the first one from ever being freed. Thus if enough threads call into a stacking block driver at the same time with bios that need multiple splits, and the bio_set's reserve gets used up, we deadlock. This can be worked around in the driver code - we could check if we're running under generic_make_request(), then mask out __GFP_WAIT when we go to allocate a bio, and if the allocation fails punt to workqueue and retry the allocation. But this is tricky and not a generic solution. This patch solves it for all users by inverting the previously described technique. We allocate a rescuer workqueue for each bio_set, and then in the allocation code if there are bios on current->bio_list we would be blocking, we punt them to the rescuer workqueue to be submitted. This guarantees forward progress for bio allocations under generic_make_request() provided each bio is submitted before allocating the next, and provided the bios are freed after they complete. Note that this doesn't do anything for allocation from other mempools. Instead of allocating per bio data structures from a mempool, code should use bio_set's front_pad. Tested it by forcing the rescue codepath to be taken (by disabling the first GFP_NOWAIT) attempt, and then ran it with bcache (which does a lot of arbitrary bio splitting) and verified that the rescuer was being invoked.

2013-01-14block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepointTejun Heo
bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP. Only dm was explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion. This makes block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace completion events. This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate block_bio_complete TP. * Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and the trace point is unexported. * @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete(). bios may fly around w/o queue associated. Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue belongs to TP probes. * blktrace now gets both request and bio completions. Make it ignore bio completions if request completion path is happening. This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful. v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev.

2012-09-09block: Consolidate bio_alloc_bioset(), bio_kmalloc()Kent Overstreet
Previously, bio_kmalloc() and bio_alloc_bioset() behaved slightly different because there was some almost-duplicated code - this fixes some of that. The important change is that previously bio_kmalloc() always set bi_io_vec = bi_inline_vecs, even if nr_iovecs == 0 - unlike bio_alloc_bioset(). This would cause bio_has_data() to return true; I don't know if this resulted in any actual bugs but it was certainly wrong. bio_kmalloc() and bio_alloc_bioset() also have different arbitrary limits on nr_iovecs - 1024 (UIO_MAXIOV) for bio_kmalloc(), 256 (BIO_MAX_PAGES) for bio_alloc_bioset(). This patch doesn't fix that, but at least they're enforced closer together and hopefully they will be fixed in a later patch. This'll also help with some future cleanups - there are a fair number of functions that allocate bios (e.g. bio_clone()), and now they don't have to be duplicated for bio_alloc(), bio_alloc_bioset(), and bio_kmalloc().

It contains: - Bug fix from Dan, wrong locking type. - Relax splice gifting restriction from Eric. - A ton of updates from Tejun, primarily for blkcg. This improves the code a lot, making the API nicer and cleaner, and also includes fixes for how we handle and tie policies and re-activate on switches.

2012-05-11bio allocation failure due to bio_get_nr_vecs()Bernd Schubert
The number of bio_get_nr_vecs() is passed down via bio_alloc() to bvec_alloc_bs(), which fails the bio allocation if nr_iovecs > BIO_MAX_PAGES. For the underlying caller this causes an unexpected bio allocation failure. Limiting to queue_max_segments() is not sufficient, as max_segments also might be very large. bvec_alloc_bs(gfp_mask, nr_iovecs, ) => NULL when nr_iovecs > BIO_MAX_PAGES bio_alloc_bioset(gfp_mask, nr_iovecs, ...) bio_alloc(GFP_NOIO, nvecs) xfs_alloc_ioend_bio() Signed-off-by: Bernd Schubert <bernd.schubert@itwm.fraunhofer.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2012-03-06block: implement bio_associate_current()Tejun Heo
IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context and cgroup of %current. Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly. For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio together impossible. Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios. This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio release puts the associated ioc and blkcg. It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about. elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being allocated for is available to the elevator. This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet. Further patches will implement the support. -v2: #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP added around bio->bi_ioc dereference in rq_ioc() to fix build breakage.

2012-02-08bio: don't overflow in bio_get_nr_vecs()Kent Overstreet
There were two places bio_get_nr_vecs() could overflow: First, it did a left shift to convert from sectors to bytes immediately before dividing by PAGE_SIZE. If PAGE_SIZE ever was less than 512 a great many things would break, so dividing by PAGE_SIZE >> 9 is safe and will generate smaller code too. The nastier overflow was in the DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's what the code was effectively doing, anyways). If n + d overflowed, the whole thing would return 0 which breaks things rather effectively. bio_get_nr_vecs() doesn't claim to give an exact value anyways, so the DIV_ROUND_UP() is silly; we could do a straight divide except if a device's queue_max_sectors was less than PAGE_SIZE we'd return 0. So we just add 1; this should always be safe - things will break badly if bio_get_nr_vecs() returns > BIO_MAX_PAGES (bio_alloc() will suddenly start failing) but it's queue_max_segments that must guard against this, if queue_max_sectors is preventing this from happen things are going to explode on architectures with different PAGE_SIZE.

2011-11-16bio: change some signed vars to unsignedDan Carpenter
This is just a cleanup patch to silence a static checker warning. The problem is that we cap "nr_iovecs" so it can't be larger than "UIO_MAXIOV" but we don't check for negative values. It turns out this is prevented at other layers, but logically it doesn't make sense to have negative nr_iovecs so making it unsigned is nicer.

2011-10-24block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.Tao Ma
bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but it is broken. Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the discussions lately pretty obviously broken. The only thing keeping it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs." And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the only ones that can toggle the setting anyway". So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu from a bio.

2011-03-17block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempoolMartin K. Petersen
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory. Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not. Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the fs_bio_set. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too. This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them. Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.
