2010-11-10block: remove REQ_HARDBARRIERChristoph Hellwig
REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left at this point is: - various checks inside the block layer. - sanity checks in bio based drivers. - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper. - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while, but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton. - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi drivers. - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been removed when flushes were converted to FS requests. - blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2010-09-10block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush()Tejun Heo
Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with -EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler blk_queue_flush(). blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA. All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted. * ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

2010-08-23loop: add some basic read-only sysfs attributesMilan Broz

To be used in util-linux-ng (and possibly elsewhere like udev rules) where code need to get loop attributes from kernel (and not store duplicate info in userspace). Moreover loop ioctls are not even able to provide full backing file info because of buffer limits. Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2010-08-07block: push down BKL into .open and .releaseArnd Bergmann
The open and release block_device_operations are currently called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must first make sure that all drivers that currently rely on this have no regressions. This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release operations for all block drivers to prepare for the next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL with their own locks or remove it completely when it can be shown that it is not needed. The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}. Most of these two functions is also under the protection of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to ->open and ->release, and the common code does not access any global data structures that need the BKL.

2010-08-07block: unify flags for struct bio and struct requestChristoph Hellwig
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.

2010-05-21generate "change" uevent for loop deviceDavid Zeuthen
Recent udev versions probe loop devices for filesystems meaning that the /dev/disk hierarchy may contain useful entries such as $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 11 13:41 /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live -> ../../loop0 Unfortunately, no "change" uevent is generated when the loop device is detached so the symlink persists. Additionally, no "change" uevent is guaranteed to be generated when attaching an fd or changing capacity. For example, user space could open the loop device O_RDONLY (in fact, recent util-linux-ng does this) so udev's OPTIONS+="watch" machinery may not trigger the "change" uevent. This patch ensures that the "change" uevent is generated in all of these cases. As a result, the /dev/disk hierarchy works as expected for loop devices.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly. One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already mounted: You can easily enlarge the file (append some bytes) and then call ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); The loop driver will learn about the new size and you can use xfs_growfs later on, which will allow you to use full capacity of the loop file without the need to unmount.

2009-03-26loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()Nikanth Karthikesan
With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled $ losetup /dev/loop0 file $ losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0 $ losetup -d /dev/loop1 $ losetup -d /dev/loop0 triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] I think this warning is a false positive. Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock. So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some other real bugs. @@ -1164,7 +1164,7 @@ static int lo_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, struct loop_device *lo = bdev->bd_disk->private_data; int err; - mutex_lock(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex); + mutex_lock_nested(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex, 1); switch (cmd) { case LOOP_SET_FD: err = loop_set_fd(lo, mode, bdev, arg); Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be a better solution. Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex held, so no lockdep annotation is required. If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the LOOP_CLR_FD ioctl in lo_ioctl(), the mutex handling could be moved inside each of the individual ioctl handlers and I could send you another patch.

2008-12-29loop: Flush possible running bios when loop device is released.Milan Broz
When there are still queued bios and reference count drops to zero, loop device must flush all queued bios. Otherwise it can lead to situation that caller closes the device, but some bios are still running and endio() function call later OOpses when uses unallocated mempool. This happens for example when running dm-crypt over loop, here is typical oops backtrace: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP EIP is at mempool_free+0x12/0x6b ... crypt_dec_pending+0x50/0x54 [dm_crypt] crypt_endio+0x9f/0xa7 [dm_crypt] crypt_endio+0x0/0xa7 [dm_crypt] bio_endio+0x2b/0x2e loop_thread+0x37a/0x3b1 do_lo_send_aops+0x0/0x165 autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 loop_thread+0x0/0x3b1 kthread+0x3b/0x61 kthread+0x0/0x61 kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 (But crash is reproducible with different dm targets running over loop device too.)

2008-10-21[PATCH] beginning of methods conversionAl Viro
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-04-21loop: manage partitions in disk imageLaurent Vivier
This patch allows to use loop device with partitionned disk image. Original behavior of loop is not modified. A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be able to manage per loop device. This parameter is "max_part". For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do: # modprobe loop max_part=63 # ls -l /dev/loop?* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7 And to attach a raw partitionned disk image, the original losetup is used: # losetup -f etch.img # ls -l /dev/loop?* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 1 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 5 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7 # mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt # ls /mnt bench cdrom home lib mnt root srv usr bin dev initrd lost+found opt sbin sys var boot etc initrd.img media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz # umount /mnt # losetup -d /dev/loop0 Of course, the same behavior can be done using kpartx on a loop device, but modifying loop avoids to stack several layers of block device (loop + device mapper), this is a very light modification (40% of modifications are to manage the new parameter).

2008-02-06Allow auto-destruction of loop devicesDavid Woodhouse
This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct. In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them. In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by 'mount -oloop'. That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the 'stateless' folks get happier... and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
