zram: close udev startup race condition as default groups

2018-11-27T15:10:49+00:00

commit fef912bf860e upstream. commit 98af4d4df889 upstream. I got a report from Howard Chen that he saw zram and sysfs race(ie, zram block device file is created but sysfs for it isn't yet) when he tried to create new zram devices via hotadd knob. v4.20 kernel fixes it by [1, 2] but it's too large size to merge into -stable so this patch fixes the problem by registering defualt group by Greg KH's approach[3]. This patch should be applied to every stable tree [3.16+] currently existing from kernel.org because the problem was introduced at 2.6.37 by [4].

drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c: fix bug storing backing_dev

2018-09-09T17:55:58+00:00

commit c8bd134a4bddafe5917d163eea73873932c15e83 upstream. The call to strlcpy in backing_dev_store is incorrect. It should take the size of the destination buffer instead of the size of the source buffer. Additionally, ignore the newline character (\n) when reading the new file_name buffer. This makes it possible to set the backing_dev as follows: echo /dev/sdX > /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev The reason it worked before was the fact that strlcpy() copies 'len - 1' bytes, which is strlen(buf) - 1 in our case, so it accidentally didn't copy the trailing new line symbol. Which also means that "echo -n /dev/sdX" most likely was broken.

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

zram: fix null dereference of handle

2017-10-04T00:54:24+00:00

In testing I found handle passed to zs_map_object in __zram_bvec_read is NULL so eh kernel goes oops in pin_object(). The reason is there is no routine to check the slot's freeing after getting the slot's lock. This patch fixes it.

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.

zram: read page from backing device

2017-09-07T00:27:25+00:00

This patch enables read IO from backing device. For the feature, it implements two IO read functions to transfer data from backing storage. One is asynchronous IO function and other is synchronous one. A reason I need synchrnous IO is due to partial write which need to complete read IO before the overwriting partial data. We can make the partial IO's case asynchronous, too but at the moment, I don't feel adding more complexity to support such rare use cases so want to go with simple.

zram: write incompressible pages to backing device

2017-09-07T00:27:25+00:00

This patch enables write IO to transfer data to backing device. For that, it implements write_to_bdev function which creates new bio and chaining with parent bio to make the parent bio asynchrnous. For rw_page which don't have parent bio, it submit owned bio and handle IO completion by zram_page_end_io. Also, this patch defines new flag ZRAM_WB to mark written page for later read IO.
