Merge branch 'for-3.11/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2013-07-23T02:02:52+00:00

Pull block IO driver bits from Jens Axboe: "As I mentioned in the core block pull request, due to real life circumstances the driver pull request would be late. Now it looks like -rc2 late... On the plus side, apart form the rsxx update, these are all things that I could argue could go in later in the cycle as they are fixes and not features. So even though things are late, it's not ALL bad. The pull request contains: - Updates to bcache, all bug fixes, from Kent. - A pile of drbd bug fixes (no big features this time!). - xen blk front/back fixes. - rsxx driver updates, some of them deferred form 3.10. So should be well cooked by now" * 'for-3.11/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (63 commits) bcache: Allocation kthread fixes bcache: Fix GC_SECTORS_USED() calculation bcache: Journal replay fix bcache: Shutdown fix bcache: Fix a sysfs splat on shutdown bcache: Advertise that flushes are supported bcache: check for allocation failures bcache: Fix a dumb race bcache: Use standard utility code bcache: Update email address bcache: Delete fuzz tester bcache: Document shrinker reserve better bcache: FUA fixes drbd: Allow online change of al-stripes and al-stripe-size drbd: Constants should be UPPERCASE drbd: Ignore the exit code of a fence-peer handler if it returns too late drbd: Fix rcu_read_lock balance on error path drbd: fix error return code in drbd_init() drbd: Do not sleep inside rcu bcache: Refresh usage docs ...

bcache: Allocation kthread fixes

2013-07-12T07:22:49+00:00

The alloc kthread should've been using try_to_freeze() - and also there was the potential for the alloc kthread to get woken up after it had shut down, which would have been bad. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet

bcache: Fix GC_SECTORS_USED() calculation

2013-07-12T07:22:48+00:00

Part of the job of garbage collection is to add up however many sectors of live data it finds in each bucket, but that doesn't work very well if it doesn't reset GC_SECTORS_USED() when it starts. Whoops. This wouldn't have broken anything horribly, but allocation tries to preferentially reclaim buckets that are mostly empty and that's not gonna work with an incorrect GC_SECTORS_USED() value.

bcache: Journal replay fix

2013-07-12T07:22:48+00:00

The journal replay code starts by finding something that looks like a valid journal entry, then it does a binary search over the unchecked region of the journal for the journal entries with the highest sequence numbers. Trouble is, the logic was wrong - journal_read_bucket() returns true if it found journal entries we need, but if the range of journal entries we're looking for loops around the end of the journal - in that case journal_read_bucket() could return true when it hadn't found the highest sequence number we'd seen yet, and in that case the binary search did the wrong thing. Whoops. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet Cc: linux-stable # >= v3.10

bcache: Shutdown fix

2013-07-12T07:22:47+00:00

Stopping a cache set is supposed to make it stop attached backing devices, but somewhere along the way that code got lost. Fixing this mainly has the effect of fixing our reboot notifier. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet Cc: linux-stable # >= v3.10

bcache: Fix a sysfs splat on shutdown

2013-07-12T07:22:47+00:00

If we stopped a bcache device when we were already detaching (or something like that), bcache_device_unlink() would try to remove a symlink from sysfs that was already gone because the bcache dev kobject had already been removed from sysfs. So keep track of whether we've removed stuff from sysfs. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet Cc: linux-stable # >= v3.10

bcache: Advertise that flushes are supported

2013-07-12T07:22:46+00:00

Whoops - bcache's flush/FUA was mostly correct, but flushes get filtered out unless we say we support them... Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet Cc: linux-stable # >= v3.10

bcache: check for allocation failures

2013-07-12T07:22:46+00:00

There is a missing NULL check after the kzalloc(). Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

bcache: Fix a dumb race

2013-07-12T07:22:33+00:00

In the far-too-complicated closure code - closures can have destructors, for probably dubious reasons; they get run after the closure is no longer waiting on anything but before dropping the parent ref, intended just for freeing whatever memory the closure is embedded in. Trouble is, when remaining goes to 0 and we've got nothing more to run - we also have to unlock the closure, setting remaining to -1. If there's a destructor, that unlock isn't doing anything - nobody could be trying to lock it if we're about to free it - but if the unlock _is needed... that check for a destructor was racy. Argh.
