SCSI: fix queue cleanup race before queue initialization is done

2018-11-21T08:19:18+00:00

commit 8dc765d438f1e42b3e8227b3b09fad7d73f4ec9a upstream. c2856ae2f315d ("blk-mq: quiesce queue before freeing queue") has already fixed this race, however the implied synchronize_rcu() in blk_mq_quiesce_queue() can slow down LUN probe a lot, so caused performance regression. Then 1311326cf4755c7 ("blk-mq: avoid to synchronize rcu inside blk_cleanup_queue()") tried to quiesce queue for avoiding unnecessary synchronize_rcu() only when queue initialization is done, because it is usual to see lots of inexistent LUNs which need to be probed. However, turns out it isn't safe to quiesce queue only when queue initialization is done. Because when one SCSI command is completed, the user of sending command can be waken up immediately, then the scsi device may be removed, meantime the run queue in scsi_end_request() is still in-progress, so kernel panic can be caused. In Red Hat QE lab, there are several reports about this kind of kernel panic triggered during kernel booting. This patch tries to address the issue by grabing one queue usage counter during freeing one request and the following run queue.

block: use nanosecond resolution for iostat

2018-09-22T02:26:59+00:00

Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case, the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O, so at least some I/Os were accounted for. Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.

block: don't warn when doing fsync on read-only devices

2018-09-05T22:14:36+00:00

It is possible to call fsync on a read-only handle (for example, fsck.ext2 does it when doing read-only check), and this call results in kernel warning. The patch b089cfd95d32 ("block: don't warn for flush on read-only device") attempted to disable the warning, but it is buggy and it doesn't (op_is_flush tests flags, but bio_op strips off the flags).

Partially revert "block: fail op_is_write() requests to read-only partitions"

2018-08-05T01:19:55+00:00

It turns out that commit 721c7fc701c7 ("block: fail op_is_write() requests to read-only partitions"), while obviously correct, causes problems for some older lvm2 installations. The reason is that the lvm snapshotting will continue to write to the snapshow COW volume, even after the volume has been marked read-only. End result: snapshot failure. This has actually been fixed in newer version of the lvm2 tool, but the old tools still exist, and the breakage was reported both in the kernel bugzilla and in the Debian bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200439 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900442 The lvm2 fix is here https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=commit;h=a6fdb9d9d70f51c49ad11a87ab4243344e6701a3 but until everybody has updated to recent versions, we'll have to weaken the "never write to read-only partitions" check. It now allows the write to happen, but causes a warning, something like this: generic_make_request: Trying to write to read-only block-device dm-3 (partno X) Modules linked in: nf_tables xt_cgroup xt_owner kvm_intel iwlmvm kvm irqbypass iwlwifi CPU: 1 PID: 77 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted 4.17.9-gentoo #3 Hardware name: LENOVO 20B6A019RT/20B6A019RT, BIOS GJET91WW (2.41 ) 09/21/2016 Workqueue: ksnaphd do_metadata RIP: 0010:generic_make_request_checks+0x4ac/0x600 ...

block: really disable runtime-pm for blk-mq

2018-08-02T16:36:02+00:00

Runtime PM isn't ready for blk-mq yet, and commit 765e40b675a9 ("block: disable runtime-pm for blk-mq") tried to disable it. Unfortunately, it can't take effect in that way since user space still can switch it on via 'echo auto > /sys/block/sdN/device/power/control'. This patch disables runtime-pm for blk-mq really by pm_runtime_disable() and fixes all kinds of PM related kernel crash.
