block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size. If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes, then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size, and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size, resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

fs: Avoid grabbing sb->s_umount under bdev->bd_holder_lock The implementation of bdev holder operations such as fs_bdev_mark_dead() and fs_bdev_sync() grab sb->s_umount semaphore under bdev->bd_holder_lock. This is problematic because it leads to disk->open_mutex -> sb->s_umount lock ordering which is counterintuitive (usually we grab higher level (e.g. filesystem) locks first and lower level (e.g. block layer) locks later) and indeed makes lockdep complain about possible locking cycles whenever we open a block device while holding sb->s_umount semaphore. Implement a function bdev_super_lock_shared() which safely transitions from holding bdev->bd_holder_lock to holding sb->s_umount on alive superblock without introducing the problematic lock dependency. We use this function fs_bdev_sync() and fs_bdev_mark_dead().

block: Do not reread partition table on exclusively open device Since commit 10c70d95c0f2 ("block: remove the bd_openers checks in blk_drop_partitions") we allow rereading of partition table although there are users of the block device. This has an undesirable consequence that e.g. if sda and sdb are assembled to a RAID1 device md0 with partitions, BLKRRPART ioctl on sda will rescan partition table and create sda1 device. This partition device under a raid device confuses some programs (such as libstorage-ng used for initial partitioning for distribution installation) leading to failures. Fix the problem refusing to rescan partitions if there is another user that has the block device exclusively open.

block: reopen the device in blkdev_reread_part Historically the BLKRRPART ioctls called into the now defunct ->revalidate method, which caused the sd driver to check if any media is present. When the ->revalidate method was removed this revalidation was lost, leading to lots of I/O errors when using the eject command. Fix this by reopening the device to rescan the partitions, and thus calling the revalidation logic in the sd driver.

compat_ioctl: simplify up block/ioctl.c Having separate implementations of blkdev_ioctl() often leads to these getting out of sync, despite the comment at the top. Since most of the ioctl commands are compatible, and we try very hard not to add any new incompatible ones, move all the common bits into a shared function and leave only the ones that are historically different in separate functions for native/compat mode. To deal with the compat_ptr() conversion, pass both the integer argument and the pointer argument into the new blkdev_common_ioctl() and make sure to always use the correct one of these. blkdev_ioctl() is now only kept as a separate exported interfact for drivers/char/raw.c, which lacks a compat_ioctl variant. We should probably either move raw.c to staging if there are no more users, or export blkdev_compat_ioctl() as well.

block: check partition alignment Partitions that are not aligned to the blocksize of a device may cause invalid I/O requests because the blocklayer cares only about alignment within the partition when building requests on partitions. device |--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------| partition offset 512byte |-512-|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------| When reading/writing one 4k block of the partition this maps to reading/writing with an offset of 512 byte of the device leading to unaligned requests for the device which in turn may cause unexpected behavior of the device driver. For DASD devices we have to translate the block number into a cylinder, head, record format. The unaligned requests lead to wrong calculation and therefore to misdirected I/O. In a "good" case this leads to I/O errors because the underlying hardware detects the wrong addressing. In a worst case scenario this might destroy data on the device. To prevent partitions that are not aligned to the physical blocksize of a device check for the alignment in the blkpg_ioctl.

block: invalidate the page cache when issuing BLKZEROOUT Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11. This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and implement fallocate for block devices. The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds. Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been in the kernel forever. The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block size. Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were 512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA devices. The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent fallocate interface between files and block devices. It also allows the combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard. Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as generic/349-351. This patch (of 3): Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid returning stale cache contents at a later time.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

block: replace trylock with mutex_lock in blkdev_reread_part() The only possible problem of using mutex_lock() instead of trylock is about deadlock. If there aren't any locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(), deadlock can't be caused by this conversion. If there are locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(), and if these locks arn't required in open, close handler and I/O path, deadlock shouldn't be caused too. Both user space's ioctl(BLKRRPART) and md_setup_drive() from init/do_mounts_md.c belongs to the 1st case, so the conversion is safe for the two cases. For loop, the previous patches in this pathset has fixed the ABBA lock dependency, so the conversion is OK. For nbd, tx_lock is held when calling the function: - both open and release won't hold the lock - when blkdev_reread_part() is run, I/O thread has been stopped already, so tx_lock won't be acquired in I/O path at that time. - so the conversion won't cause deadlock for nbd For dasd, both dasd_open(), dasd_release() and request function don't acquire any mutex/semphone, so the conversion should be safe.

block: Add discard flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() function blkdev_issue_discard() will zero a given block range. This is done by way of explicit writing, thus provisioning or allocating the blocks on disk. There are use cases where the desired behavior is to zero the blocks but unprovision them if possible. The blocks must deterministically contain zeroes when they are subsequently read back. This patch adds a flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that provides this variant. If the discard flag is set and a block device guarantees discard_zeroes_data we will use REQ_DISCARD to clear the block range. If the device does not support discard_zeroes_data or if the discard request fails we will fall back to first REQ_WRITE_SAME and then a regular REQ_WRITE. Also update the callers of blkdev_issue_zero() to reflect the new flag and make sb_issue_zeroout() prefer the discard approach. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block, bdi: an active gendisk always has a request_queue associated with it bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the specified block_device. blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device. All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk. Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can blk_get_backing_dev_info(). Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and remove NULL handling from all the callers.

block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently in use. This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock as we call sector_in_part() very frequently. Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write. There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a TODO item. We can handle it later if need be.

vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error handling We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users (see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code translation. ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY ("Inappropriate ioctl for device"). That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code that makes it harder to do the right thing.

The BUG could be traced back to ioctl(BLKBSZSET), which would erroneously decrement the refcount on the bdev. This is because blkdev_get() expects the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error.

block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev open, close, claim and release. * blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions. * bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open. * open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and the other way around, respectively. * bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave symlinks. * open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get(). The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

block: read i_size with i_size_read() Convert direct reads of an inode's i_size to using i_size_read(). i_size_{read,write} use a seqcount to protect reads from accessing incomple writes. Concurrent i_size_write()s require mutual exclussion to protect the seqcount that is used by i_size_{read,write}. But i_size_read() callers do not need to use additional locking.

block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct I'm reposting this patch series as v4 since there have been no additional comments, and I cleaned up one extra bit of unneeded code (in 3/3). The patches are against Linus's tree: 2bfc96a127bc1cc94d26bfaa40159966064f9c8c (2.6.36-rc3). Would this patchset be suitable for inclusion in an mm branch? This changes adds a partition_meta_info struct which itself contains a union of structures that provide partition table specific metadata. This change leaves the union empty. The subsequent patch includes an implementation for CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION-based metadata. Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroed The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and queried via a new block device ioctl. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

[PATCH] beginning of methods conversion To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

block: introduce partition 0 genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately. All information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in struct hd_struct. However, the whole disk (part0) and other partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the same thing. Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which gets pretty confusing at times. This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array indexed by partno. Following patches will unify the handling of disk and parts piece-by-piece. This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a disk is partitionable. With coming dynamic partition array change, the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become much less important.

block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock. However, non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and proc information used to be performed without any locking. As partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away underneath those non-critical accesses. As some of those accesses are writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption. This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev reference counter to hold partitions. * Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside genhd layer proper accesses it directly. * Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing. * Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put partitions from gendisk respectively. * Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions safely. * Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix. * Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting the contained kobject.

[PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. Some partitioning systems create special partitions that span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block and do other things. Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions, because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one. So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this 'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the partition.

[PATCH] dm: export blkdev_driver_ioctl Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper. If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.

[PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.
