2013-09-15partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lbaDavidlohr Bueso
Matt found that commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics, Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1]. Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value other than these.

2013-09-11lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interruptJan Kara
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

2013-09-11partitions/efi: detect hybrid MBRsDavidlohr Bueso
One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT systems. The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension, or variant, of the traditional protective mbr. This contains, apart from the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions. The result is that legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures. While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT standard, they do exist and we have no way around them. For instance, by default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting. In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs. No functionality is changed by this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that is being used.

2013-09-11partitions/efi: do not require gpt partition to begin at sector 1Davidlohr Bueso
When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems, it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1). This check, apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1]. For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR. This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE partition's protection of GPT data structures. By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when probing for GPT disklabels.

2013-09-11partitions/efi: use lba-aware partition recordsDavidlohr Bueso
The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records. While this is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such as GUID partition tables. Furthermore, these generic partition structures do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs. While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and cleaner to just replace the partition type. This patch adds a new 'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR, which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.

2013-09-11kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()Mathieu Desnoyers
I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings: grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" * The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat, since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they might not be exploitable. For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel buffers, and will fail immediately afterward. The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every architectures.

Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed. Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these changes and the patchset is pending for the next window. - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is only used by memcg.

2013-08-08cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in ↵Tejun Heo
the iteration Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin (root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway; however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that including origin would result in simpler code overall. While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup API including the iterators has recently gone through major restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this type of change. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added. Some conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any noticeable difference.

2013-08-08cgroup: make cgroup_taskset deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroupTejun Heo
cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state) from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested in anyway. cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle. Update cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp. The conversions are pretty mechanical. One exception is cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css (cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in subsystem API. For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because * In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway. * On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.

2013-08-08cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in subsystem methodsTejun Heo
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup * in subsystem implementations for the following reasons. * With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup, which is different from the current state where all css's are allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use. * Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is being performed for. * In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits much better. This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of @cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few noteworthy changes are * ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing subsystems. * In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css dereference is replaced with local variable access. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences. v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan. Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.

2013-08-08cgroup: add css_parent()Tejun Heo
Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy to find the parent of a given css. cgroup is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses. This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy. freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent directly. * __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

2013-08-08cgroup: add/update accessors which obtain subsys specific data from cssTejun Heo
css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific data structure. Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with css's. All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially optimize out the branch. * blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such accessor.

For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the drivers/block uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files.

Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c. When an AIX disk has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer. This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before plain msdos partitions enumeration.

Add partitions/aix.h and partitions/aix.c. AIX LVM permits to make "logical volumes" which are made of multiple slices of multiple disks. The new code allows only access to the "logical volumes" which are made of one slice on the probed disk, a slice being a contiguous disk area. The code also detects "logical volumes" made of multiple slices on the probed disk, but can not describe them to the partition layer, because the partition layer generic code does not support that. When such non-contiguous "logical volumes" are detected, a diagnostic message is printed.

There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation. Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL ->elevator_data. For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up changes necessary at this point. The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues

2013-06-28block: Reserve only one queue tag for sync IO if only 3 tags are availableJan Kara
In case a device has three tags available we still reserve two of them for sync IO. That leaves only a single tag for async IO such as writeback from flusher thread which results in poor performance. Allow async IO to consume two tags in case queue has three tag availabe to get a decent async write performance. This patch improves streaming write performance on a machine with such disk from ~21 MB/s to ~52 MB/s. Also postmark throughput in presence of streaming writer improves from 8 to 12 transactions per second so sync IO doesn't seem to be harmed in presence of heavy async writer.

2013-05-14blk-throttle: implement proper hierarchy supportTejun Heo
With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper hierarchy support. Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq and propagates correctly. The only thing missing is setting ->parent_sq correctly so that throtl_grp hierarchy matches the cgroup hierarchy. This patch updates throtl_pd_init() such that service_queues form the same hierarchy as the cgroup hierarchy if sane_behavior is enabled. As this concludes proper hierarchy support for blkcg, the shameful .broken_hierarchy tag is removed from blkio_subsys. v2: Updated blkio-controller.txt as suggested by Vivek.

2013-05-14blk-throttle: implement throtl_grp->has_rules[]Tejun Heo
blk_throtl_bio() has a quick exit path for throtl_grps without limits configured. It looks at the bps and iops limits and if both are not configured, the bio is issued immediately. While this is correct in the current flat hierarchy as each throtl_grp behaves completely independently, it would become wrong in proper hierarchy mode. A group without any limits could still be limited by one of its ancestors and bio's queued for such group should not bypass blk-throtl. As having a quick bypass mechanism is beneficial, this patch reimplements the mechanism such that it's correct even with proper hierarchy. throtl_grp->has_rules[] is added. These booleans are updated for the whole subtree whenever a config is updated so that has_rules[] of the whole subtree stays synchronized. They're also updated when a new throtl_grp comes online so that it can't escape the limits of its ancestors. As no throtl_grp has another throtl_grp as parent now, this patch doesn't yet make any behavior differences. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
2013-05-14blk-throttle: Account for child group's start time in parent while bio climbs upVivek Goyal
With the planned proper hierarchy support, a bio will climb up the tree before actually being dispatched. This makes sure bio is also subjected to parent's throttling limits, if any. It might happen that parent is idle and when bio is transferred to parent, a new slice starts fresh. But that is incorrect as parents wait time should have started when bio was queued in child group and causes IOs to be throttled more than configured as they climb the hierarchy. Given the fact that we have not written hierarchical algorithm in a way where child's and parents time slices are synchronized, we transfer the child's start time to parent if parent was idling. If parent was busy doing dispatch of other bios all this while, this is not an issue. Child's slice start time is passed to parent. Parent looks at its last expired slice start time. If child's start time is after parents old start time, that means parent had been idle and after parent went idle, child had an IO queued. So use child's start time as parent start time. If parent's start time is after child's start time, that means, when IO got queued in child group, parent was not idle. But later it dispatched some IO, its slice got trimmed and then it went idle. After a while child's request got shifted in parent group. In this case use parent's old start time as new start time as that's the duration of slice we did not use. This logic is far from perfect as if there are multiple childs then first child transferring the bio decides the start time while a bio might have queued up even earlier in other child, which is yet to be transferred up to parent. In that case we will lose time and bandwidth in parent. This patch is just an approximation to make situation somewhat better.

2013-05-14blk-throttle: add throtl_qnode for dispatch fairnessTejun Heo
With flat hierarchy, there's only single level of dispatching happening and fairness beyond that point is the responsibility of the rest of the block layer and driver, which usually works out okay; however, with the planned hierarchy support, service_queue->bio_lists[] can be filled up by bios from a single source. While the limits would still be honored, it'd be very easy to starve IOs from siblings or children. To avoid such starvation, this patch implements throtl_qnode and converts service_queue->bio_lists[] to lists of per-source qnodes which in turn contains the bio's. For example, when a bio is dispatched from a child group, the bio doesn't get queued on ->bio_lists[] directly but it first gets queued on the group's qnode which in turn gets queued on service_queue->queued[]. When dispatching for the upper level, the ->queued[] list is consumed in round-robing order so that the dispatch windows is consumed fairly by all IO sources. There are two ways a bio can come to a throtl_grp - directly queued to the group or dispatched from a child. For the former throtl_grp->qnode_on_self[rw] is used. For the latter, the child's ->qnode_on_parent[rw]. Note that this means that the child which is contributing a bio to its parent should stay pinned until all its bios are dispatched to its grand-parent. This patch moves blkg refcnting from bio add/remove spots to qnode activation/deactivation so that the blkg containing an active qnode is always pinned. As child pins the parent, this is sufficient for keeping the relevant sub-tree pinned while bios are in flight. The starvation issue was spotted by Vivek Goyal. v2: The original patch used the same throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent for reads and writes causing RWs to be queued incorrectly if there already are outstanding IOs in the other direction. They should be throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent[2] so that READs and WRITEs can use different qnodes. Spotted by Vivek Goyal.

2013-05-14blk-throttle: make throtl_pending_timer_fn() ready for hierarchyTejun Heo

This patch makes the following changes to make throtl_pending_timer_fn() ready for hiearchy. * If the parent_sq isn't the top-level one, update the parent throtl_grp's dispatch time and schedule the next dispatch as necessary. If the parent's dispatch time is now, repeat the function for the parent throtl_grp. * If the parent_sq is the top-level one, kick issue work_item as before. * The debug message printed by throtl_log() now prints out the service_queue's nr_queued[] instead of the total nr_queued as the latter becomes uninteresting and misleading with hierarchical dispatch.

This patch makes the following changes to make tg_dispatch_on_bio() ready for hiearchy. * throtl_data->nr_queued[] is incremented in blk_throtl_bio() instead of throtl_add_bio_tg() so that throtl_add_bio_tg() can be used to transfer a bio from a child tg to its parent. * tg_dispatch_one_bio() is updated to distinguish whether its parent is another throtl_grp or the throtl_data. If former, the bio is transferred to the parent throtl_grp using throtl_add_bio_tg(). If latter, the bio is ready to be issued and put on the top-level service_queue's bio_lists[] and throtl_data->nr_queued is decremented. As all throtl_grps currently have the top level service_queue as their ->parent_sq, this patch in itself doesn't make any behavior difference.

Currently, blk_throtl_bio() issues the passed in bio directly if it's within limits of its associated tg (throtl_grp). This behavior becomes incorrect with hierarchy support as the bio should be accounted to and throttled by the ancestor throtl_grps too. This patch makes the direct issue path of blk_throtl_bio() to loop until it reaches the top-level service_queue or gets throttled. If the former, the bio can be issued directly; otherwise, it gets queued at the first layer it was above limits. As tg->parent_sq is always the top-level service queue currently, this patch in itself doesn't make any behavior differences.

2013-05-14blk-throttle: dispatch from throtl_pending_timer_fn()Tejun Heo
Currently, blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() is responsible for both dispatching bio's from throtl_grp's according to their limits and then issuing the dispatched bios. This patch moves the dispatch part to throtl_pending_timer_fn() so that the work item is kicked iff there are bio's to issue. This is to avoid work item execution at each step when hierarchy support is enabled. bio's will be dispatched towards the top-level service_queue from the timers at each layer and the work item will only be used to issue the bio's which reached the top-level service_queue. While fetching bio's to issue from bio_lists[], blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() fetches all READs before WRITEs. While the original code also dispatched READs first, if multiple throtl_grps are dispatched on the same run, WRITEs from throtl_grp which is dispatched first would precede READs from throtl_grps which are dispatched later. While this is a behavior change, given that the previous code already prioritized READs and block layer generally prioritizes and segregates READs from WRITEs, this isn't likely to make any noticeable differences.
