mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

block: fix bogus EFAULT error from SG_IO ioctl

2015-06-27T17:43:34+00:00

Whenever blk_fill_sghdr_rq fails, its errno code is ignored and changed to EFAULT. This can cause very confusing errors: $ sg_persist -k /dev/sda persistent reservation in: pass through os error: Bad address The fix is trivial, just propagate the return value from blk_fill_sghdr_rq.

block: pass iov_iter to the BLOCK_PC mapping functions

2015-02-05T16:30:40+00:00

Make use of a new interface provided by iov_iter, backed by scatter-gather list of iovec, instead of the old interface based on sg_iovec. Also use iov_iter_advance() instead of manual iteration.

scsi: rename SERVICE_ACTION_IN to SERVICE_ACTION_IN_16

SPC-3 defines SERVICE ACTION IN(12) and SERVICE ACTION IN(16). So rename SERVICE_ACTION_IN to SERVICE_ACTION_IN_16 to be consistent with SPC and to allow for better distinction. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Tested-by: Robert Elliott Reviewed-by: Robert Elliott Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

scsi: Fix error handling in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND

2014-10-23T02:13:39+00:00

When sg_scsi_ioctl() fails to prepare request to submit in blk_rq_map_kern() we jump to a label where we just end up copying (luckily zeroed-out) kernel buffer to userspace instead of reporting error. Fix the problem by jumping to the right label.

block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios

2014-08-28T16:03:46+00:00

The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check. For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg of blk_get_request. It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was unwilling to wait.
