bio: return EINTR if copying to user space got interrupted

2016-03-03T23:07:28+00:00

commit 2d99b55d378c996b9692a0c93dd25f4ed5d58934 upstream. Commit 35dc248383bbab0a7203fca4d722875bc81ef091 introduced a check for current->mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but user space isn't notified about it. This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user() to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with no data returned. This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while constantly sending signals to it.

block: fix bio splitting on max sectors

2016-02-17T20:30:56+00:00

commit d0e5fbb01a67e400e82fefe4896ea40c6447ab98 upstream. After commit e36f62042880(block: split bios to maxpossible length), bio can be splitted in the middle of a vector entry, then it is easy to split out one bio which size isn't aligned with block size, especially when the block size is bigger than 512. This patch fixes the issue by making the max io size aligned to logical block size.

block: split bios to max possible length

2016-02-17T20:30:55+00:00

commit e36f6204288088fda50d1c84830340ccb70f85ff upstream. This splits bio in the middle of a vector to form the largest possible bio at the h/w's desired alignment, and guarantees the bio being split will have some data. The criteria for splitting is changed from the max sectors to the h/w's optimal sector alignment if it is provided. For h/w that advertise their block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not submit commands that cross them. If sector alignment is not provided, this patch uses the max sectors as before. This addresses the performance issue commit d380561113 attempted to fix, but was reverted due to splitting logic error.

Revert "block: Split bios on chunk boundaries"

2016-01-08T16:00:29+00:00

This reverts commit d3805611130af9b911e908af9f67a3f64f4f0914. If we end up splitting on the first segment, we don't adjust the sector count. That results in hitting a BUG() with attempting to split 0 sectors. As this is just a performance issue and not a regression since 4.3 release, let's just rever this change. That gives us more time to test a real fix for 4.5, which would be marked for stable anyway.

block: add blk_start_queue_async()

2015-12-28T20:07:07+00:00

We currently only have an inline/sync helper to restart a stopped queue. If drivers need an async version, they have to roll their own. Add a generic helper instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "Three small fixes for 4.4 final. Specifically: - The segment issue fix from Junichi, where the old IO path does a bio limit split before potentially bouncing the pages. We need to do that in the right order, to ensure that limitations are met. - A NVMe surprise removal IO hang fix from Keith. - A use-after-free in null_blk, introduced by a previous patch in this series. From Mike Krinkin" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: null_blk: fix use-after-free error block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bio NVMe: IO ending fixes on surprise removal

block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bio

2015-12-22T17:26:53+00:00

blk_queue_bio() does split then bounce, which makes the segment counting based on pages before bouncing and could go wrong. Move the split to after bouncing, like we do for blk-mq, and the we fix the issue of having the bio count for segments be wrong.

Merge branch 'master' into for-4.4-fixes

2015-12-07T15:09:03+00:00

The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree 3b13758f51de ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid") conflicts in net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c with the following pending fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes. 1f7dd3e5a6e4 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling") The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter drops @css from cgrp_attach(). Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid() with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is only one target css during migration, this is fine.
