block: Move SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT definitions into

2020-09-09T17:03:12+00:00

commit 233bde21aa43516baa013ef7ac33f3427056db3e upstream. It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion, move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the header file such that these become available for all block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE redefinition. Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in which these constants are used for another purpose than converting block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

brd: check and limit max_part par

2020-02-28T15:36:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit c8ab422553c81a0eb070329c63725df1cd1425bc ] In brd_init func, rd_nr num of brd_device are firstly allocated and add in brd_devices, then brd_devices are traversed to add each brd_device by calling add_disk func. When allocating brd_device, the disk->first_minor is set to i * max_part, if rd_nr * max_part is larger than MINORMASK, two different brd_device may have the same devt, then only one of them can be successfully added. when rmmod brd.ko, it will cause oops when calling brd_exit. Follow those steps: # modprobe brd rd_nr=3 rd_size=102400 max_part=1048576 # rmmod brd then, the oops will appear.

brd: fix overflow in __brd_direct_access

2017-09-25T14:56:05+00:00

The code in __brd_direct_access multiplies the pgoff variable by page size and divides it by 512. It can cause overflow on 32-bit architectures. The overflow happens if we create ramdisk larger than 4G and use it as a sparse device. This patch replaces multiplication and division with multiplication by the number of sectors per page.

block, THP: make block_device_operations.rw_page support THP

2017-09-07T00:27:27+00:00

The .rw_page in struct block_device_operations is used by the swap subsystem to read/write the page contents from/into the corresponding swap slot in the swap device. To support the THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap optimization, the .rw_page is enhanced to support to read/write THP if possible.

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

2017-08-23T18:49:55+00:00

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2017-07-07T16:44:06+00:00

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.
