There are two callers of this function and they both unlock the mutex so
this ends up being a double unlock.

<title>signal: Allow cifs and drbd to receive their terminating signals</title>

<id>urn:sha1:33da8e7c814f77310250bb54a9db36a44c5de784</id>
<content type='text'>
My recent to change to only use force_sig for a synchronous events
wound up breaking signal reception cifs and drbd.  I had overlooked
the fact that by default kthreads start out with all signals set to
SIG_IGN.  So a change I thought was safe turned out to have made it
impossible for those kernel thread to catch their signals.

Reverting the work on force_sig is a bad idea because what the code
was doing was very much a misuse of force_sig.  As the way force_sig
ultimately allowed the signal to happen was to change the signal
handler to SIG_DFL.  Which after the first signal will allow userspace
to send signals to these kernel threads.  At least for
wake_ack_receiver in drbd that does not appear actively wrong.

So correct this problem by adding allow_kernel_signal that will allow
signals whose siginfo reports they were sent by the kernel through,
but will not allow userspace generated signals, and update cifs and
drbd to call allow_kernel_signal in an appropriate place so that their
thread can receive this signal.

Fixing things this way ensures that userspace won't be able to send
signals and cause problems, that it is clear which signals the
threads are expecting to receive, and it guarantees that nothing
else in the system will be affected.

This change was partly inspired by similar cifs and drbd patches that
added allow_signal.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

<title>signal/drbd: Use send_sig not force_sig</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fee109901f392a96189bd84a41845535a52bd94d</id>
<content type='text'>
The drbd module exclusively sends signals to kernel threads it creates with
kthread_create.  These kernel threads do not block or ignore signals (only
flush signals after they have been delivered), nor can drbd threads
possibly be pid namespace init processes so the extra work that force_sig
performs that send_sig does not is unnecessary.

Further force_sig is for delivering synchronous signals (aka exceptions).
The locking in force_sig is not prepared to deal with running processes, as
tsk-&gt;sighand may change during exec for a running process.

In short it is not only unnecessary for drbd to use force_sig it is
semantically wrong.

With drbd using send_sig it becomes easier to maintain force_sig as only
synchronous signals need to be considered.

<title>drbd: introduce P_ZEROES (REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES on the "wire")</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f31e583aa2c20892aca3add26957dee6ab80a534</id>
<content type='text'>
And also re-enable partial-zero-out + discard aligned.

With the introduction of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES,
we started to use that for both WRITE_ZEROES and DISCARDS,
hoping that WRITE_ZEROES would "do what we want",
UNMAP if possible, zero-out the rest.

The example scenario is some LVM "thin" backend.

While an un-allocated block on dm-thin reads as zeroes, on a dm-thin
with "skip_block_zeroing=true", after a partial block write allocated
that block, that same block may well map "undefined old garbage" from
the backends on LBAs that have not yet been written to.

If we cannot distinguish between zero-out and discard on the receiving
side, to avoid "undefined old garbage" to pop up randomly at later times
on supposedly zero-initialized blocks, we'd need to map all discards to
zero-out on the receiving side.  But that would potentially do a full
alloc on thinly provisioned backends, even when the expectation was to
unmap/trim/discard/de-allocate.

We need to distinguish on the protocol level, whether we need to guarantee
zeroes (and thus use zero-out, potentially doing the mentioned full-alloc),
or if we want to put the emphasis on discard, and only do a "best effort
zeroing" (by "discarding" blocks aligned to discard-granularity, and zeroing
only potential unaligned head and tail clippings to at least *try* to
avoid "false positives" in an online-verify later), hoping that someone
set skip_block_zeroing=false.

For some discussion regarding this on dm-devel, see also
https://www.mail-archive.com/dm-devel%40redhat.com/msg07965.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-January/msg00271.html

For backward compatibility, P_TRIM means zero-out, unless the
DRBD_FF_WZEROES feature flag is agreed upon during handshake.

To have upper layers even try to submit WRITE ZEROES requests,
we need to announce "efficient zeroout" independently.

We need to fixup max_write_zeroes_sectors after blk_queue_stack_limits():
if we can handle "zeroes" efficiently on the protocol,
we want to do that, even if our backend does not announce
max_write_zeroes_sectors itself.
