Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after the churn of the last few series. This contains: - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov. - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960. - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects. - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart. - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo. - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle. - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan. - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and device remova. From David Jeffery. - A few nbd fixes from Josef. - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua. - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it to actually hold data, among other things. - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang. - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big machines. - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code. - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch fall through case complaints" * 'for-4.14/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (162 commits) kernfs: checking for IS_ERR() instead of NULL drbd: remove BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag from drbd_{md_,}io_bio_set drbd: Fix allyesconfig build, fix recent commit drbd: switch from kmalloc() to kmalloc_array() drbd: abort drbd_start_resync if there is no connection drbd: move global variables to drbd namespace and make some static drbd: rename "usermode_helper" to "drbd_usermode_helper" drbd: fix race between handshake and admin disconnect/down drbd: fix potential deadlock when trying to detach during handshake drbd: A single dot should be put into a sequence. drbd: fix rmmod cleanup, remove _all_ debugfs entries drbd: Use setup_timer() instead of init_timer() to simplify the code. drbd: fix potential get_ldev/put_ldev refcount imbalance during attach drbd: new disk-option disable-write-same drbd: Fix resource role for newly created resources in events2 drbd: mark symbols static where possible drbd: Send P_NEG_ACK upon write error in protocol != C drbd: add explicit plugging when submitting batches drbd: change list_for_each_safe to while(list_first_entry_or_null) drbd: introduce drbd_recv_header_maybe_unplug ...

xen-blkback: stop blkback thread of every queue in xen_blkif_disconnect

2017-08-25T19:59:34+00:00

In xen_blkif_disconnect, before checking inflight I/O, following code stops the blkback thread, if (ring->xenblkd) { kthread_stop(ring->xenblkd); wake_up(&ring->shutdown_wq); } If there is inflight I/O in any non-last queue, blkback returns -EBUSY directly, and above code would not be called to stop thread of remaining queue and processs them. When removing vbd device with lots of disk I/O load, some queues with inflight I/O still have blkback thread running even though the corresponding vbd device or guest is gone. And this could cause some problems, for example, if the backend device type is file, some loop devices and blkback thread always lingers there forever after guest is destroyed, and this causes failure of umounting repositories unless rebooting the dom0. This patch allows thread of every queue has the chance to get stopped. Otherwise, only thread of queue previous to(including) first busy one get stopped, blkthread of remaining queue will still run. So stop all threads properly and return -EBUSY if any queue has inflight I/O.

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 commit '8e8320c9315c' into for-4.13/block

2017-06-23T03:55:24+00:00

Pull in the fix for shared tags, as it conflicts with the pending changes in for-4.13/block. We already pulled in v4.12-rc5 to solve other conflicts or get fixes that went into 4.12, so not a lot of changes in this merge. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

xen-blkback: don't leak stack data via response ring

2017-06-13T20:28:32+00:00

Rather than constructing a local structure instance on the stack, fill the fields directly on the shared ring, just like other backends do. Build on the fact that all response structure flavors are actually identical (the old code did make this assumption too). This is XSA-216.

xen/blkback: don't use xen_blkif_get() in xen-blkback kthread

2017-06-13T20:27:39+00:00

There is no need to use xen_blkif_get()/xen_blkif_put() in the kthread of xen-blkback. Thread stopping is synchronous and using the blkif reference counting in the kthread will avoid to ever let the reference count drop to zero at the end of an I/O running concurrent to disconnecting and multiple rings. Setting ring->xenblkd to NULL after stopping the kthread isn't needed as the kthread does this already.

xen/blkback: don't free be structure too early

2017-06-13T20:09:41+00:00

The be structure must not be freed when freeing the blkif structure isn't done. Otherwise a use-after-free of be when unmapping the ring used for communicating with the frontend will occur in case of a late call of xenblk_disconnect() (e.g. due to an I/O still active when trying to disconnect).

xen/blkback: fix disconnect while I/Os in flight

2017-06-13T20:04:18+00:00

Today disconnecting xen-blkback is broken in case there are still I/Os in flight: xen_blkif_disconnect() will bail out early without releasing all resources in the hope it will be called again when the last request has terminated. This, however, won't happen as xen_blkif_free() won't be called on termination of the last running request: xen_blkif_put() won't decrement the blkif refcnt to 0 as xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't finish before thus some xen_blkif_put() calls in xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't happen. To solve this deadlock xen_blkif_disconnect() and xen_blkif_alloc_rings() shouldn't use xen_blkif_put() and xen_blkif_get() but use some other way to do their accounting of resources. This at once fixes another error in xen_blkif_disconnect(): when it returned early with -EBUSY for another ring than 0 it would call xen_blkif_put() again for already handled rings on a subsequent call. This will lead to inconsistencies in the refcnt handling. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Tested-by: Steven Haigh Acked-by: Roger Pau Monné Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
