drbd: use consistent license

2022-11-23T02:38:39+00:00

DRBD currently has a mix of GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0-or-later SPDX license identifiers. We have decided to stick with GPL 2.0 only, so consistently use that identifier.

drbd: Use struct_group() to zero algs

2021-12-13T23:31:24+00:00

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields. Add a struct_group() for the algs so that memset() can correctly reason about the size. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: Gustavo A. R.

drbd: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-06-16T04:08:31+00:00

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

drbd: introduce P_ZEROES (REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES on the "wire")

2018-12-20T16:51:31+00:00

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.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drbd: introduce WRITE_SAME support

2016-06-14T03:43:07+00:00

We will support WRITE_SAME, if * all peers support WRITE_SAME (both in kernel and DRBD version), * all peer devices support WRITE_SAME * logical_block_size is identical on all peers. We may at some point introduce a fallback on the receiving side for devices/kernels that do not support WRITE_SAME, by open-coding a submit loop. But not yet.

drbd: Create the protocol feature THIN_RESYNC

2016-06-14T03:43:04+00:00
