loop: fix the the direct I/O support check when used on top of block devices

__loop_update_dio only checks the alignment requirement for block backed
file systems, but misses them for the case where the loop device is
created directly on top of another block device. Due to this creating
a loop device with default option plus the direct I/O flag on a > 512 byte
sector size file system will lead to incorrect I/O being submitted to the
lower block device and a lot of error from the lock layer. This can
be seen with xfstests generic/563.

Fix the code in __loop_update_dio by factoring the alignment check into
a helper, and calling that also for the struct block_device of a block
device inode.

Also remove the TODO comment talking about dynamically switching between
buffered and direct I/O, which is a would be a recipe for horrible
performance and occasional data loss.

calling vfs_iter_write() except for target_core_file's fd_do_rw().

Move file_start_write() from the callers into vfs_iter_write().
fd_do_rw() calls vfs_iter_write() with a non-regular file, so

# bb5faa99 20-Jul-2023 Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mfo@canonical.com>

loop: do not enforce max_loop hard limit by (new) default

Problem:

The max_loop parameter is used for 2 different purposes:

1) initial number of loop devices to pre-create on init
2) maximum number of loop devices to add on access/open()

Historically, its default value (zero) caused 1) to create non-zero
number of devices (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT), and no hard limit on
2) to add devices with autoloading.

However, the default value changed in commit 85c50197716c ("loop: Fix
the max_loop commandline argument treatment when it is set to 0") to
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT, for max_loop=0 not to pre-create devices.

That does improve 1), but unfortunately it breaks 2), as the default
behavior changed from no-limit to hard-limit.

Example:

For example, this userspace code broke for N >= CONFIG, if the user
relied on the default value 0 for max_loop:

mknod("/dev/loopN");
open("/dev/loopN"); // now fails with ENXIO

Though affected users may "fix" it with (loop.)max_loop=0, this means to
require a kernel parameter change on stable kernel update (that commit
Fixes: an old commit in stable).

Solution:

The original semantics for the default value in 2) can be applied if the
parameter is not set (ie, default behavior).

This still keeps the intended function in 1) and 2) if set, and that
commit's intended improvement in 1) if max_loop=0.

Before 85c50197716c:
- default: 1) CONFIG devices 2) no limit
- max_loop=0: 1) CONFIG devices 2) no limit
- max_loop=X: 1) X devices 2) X limit

After 85c50197716c:
- default: 1) CONFIG devices 2) CONFIG limit (*)
- max_loop=0: 1) 0 devices (*) 2) no limit
- max_loop=X: 1) X devices 2) X limit

This commit:
- default: 1) CONFIG devices 2) no limit (*)
- max_loop=0: 1) 0 devices 2) no limit
- max_loop=X: 1) X devices 2) X limit

Future:

The issue/regression from that commit only affects code under the
CONFIG_BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD deprecation guard, thus the fix too is
contained under it.

Once that deprecated functionality/code is removed, the purpose 2) of
max_loop (hard limit) is no longer in use, so the module parameter
description can be changed then.

# bb430b69 20-Mar-2023 Alyssa Ross <hi@alyssa.is>

loop: LOOP_CONFIGURE: send uevents for partitions

LOOP_CONFIGURE is, as far as I understand it, supposed to be a way to
combine LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64 into a single syscall. When
using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64, a single uevent would be sent for
each partition found on the loop device after the second ioctl(), but
when using LOOP_CONFIGURE, no such uevent was being sent.

In the old setup, uevents are disabled for LOOP_SET_FD, but not for
LOOP_SET_STATUS64. This makes sense, as it prevents uevents being
sent for a partially configured device during LOOP_SET_FD - they're
only sent at the end of LOOP_SET_STATUS64. But for LOOP_CONFIGURE,
uevents were disabled for the entire operation, so that final
notification was never issued. To fix this, reduce the critical
section to exclude the loop_reread_partitions() call, which causes
the uevents to be issued, to after uevents are re-enabled, matching
the behaviour of the LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 combination.

I noticed this because Busybox's losetup program recently changed from
using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 to LOOP_CONFIGURE, and this broke
my setup, for which I want a notification from the kernel any time a
new partition becomes available.

Make the following minor changes which were reported by colleagues
while reviewing this code:
- Remove the parentheses from around the LOOP_DEFAULT_HW_Q_DEPTH
definition since these are superfluous.
- Accept other number formats than decimal, e.g. hexadecimal.
- Do not set hw_queue_depth to an out-of-range value, even if that value
won't be used.
- Use the LOOP_DEFAULT_HW_Q_DEPTH macro in the kernel module parameter
description to prevent that the description gets out of sync.

This patch has been tested as follows:

# modprobe -r loop

# modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=0

treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown". After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed. It also ignores any locations where
the timer->function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

$ cat timer.cocci

expression ptr, slab;
identifier timer, rfield;

(
- del_timer(&ptr->timer);

loop: Fix the max_loop commandline argument treatment when it is set to 0

Currently, the max_loop commandline argument can be used to specify how
many loop block devices are created at init time. If it is not
specified on the commandline, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT loop block
devices will be created.

The max_loop commandline argument can be used to override the value of
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT. However, when max_loop is set to 0
through the commandline, the current logic treats it as if it had not
been set, and creates CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT devices anyway.

Fix this by starting max_loop off as set to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT.
This preserves the intended behavior of creating
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT loop block devices if the max_loop
commandline parameter is not specified, and allowing max_loop to
be respected for all values, including 0.

This allows environments that can create all of their required loop
block devices on demand to not have to unnecessarily preallocate loop
block devices.

loop: Check for overflow while configuring loop

The userspace can configure a loop using an ioctl call, wherein
a configuration of type loop_config is passed (see lo_ioctl()'s
case on line 1550 of drivers/block/loop.c). This proceeds to call
loop_configure() which in turn calls loop_set_status_from_info()
(see line 1050 of loop.c), passing &config->info which is of type
loop_info64*. This function then sets the appropriate values, like
the offset.

loop_device has lo_offset of type loff_t (see line 52 of loop.c),
which is typdef-chained to long long, whereas loop_info64 has
lo_offset of type __u64 (see line 56 of include/uapi/linux/loop.h).

The function directly copies offset from info to the device as
follows (See line 980 of loop.c):
lo->lo_offset = info->lo_offset;

This results in an overflow, which triggers a warning in iomap_iter()
due to a call to iomap_iter_done() which has:
WARN_ON_ONCE(iter->iomap.offset > iter->pos);

Thus, check for negative value during loop_set_status_from_info().

block: simplify disk shutdown

Set the queue dying flag and call blk_mq_exit_queue from del_gendisk for
all disks that do not have separately allocated queues, and thus remove
the need to call blk_cleanup_queue for them.

Rename blk_cleanup_disk to blk_mq_destroy_queue to make it clear that
this function is intended only for separately allocated blk-mq queues.

This saves an extra queue freeze for devices without a separately

block, loop: support partitions without scanning

Historically we did distinguish between a flag that surpressed partition
scanning, and a combinations of the minors variable and another flag if
any partitions were supported. This was generally confusing and doesn't
make much sense, but some corner case uses of the loop driver actually
do want to support manually added partitions on a device that does not
actively scan for partitions. To make things worsee the loop driver
also wants to dynamically toggle the scanning for partitions on a live
gendisk, which makes the disk->flags updates non-atomic.

Introduce a new GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN bit in disk->state that disables
just scanning for partitions, and toggle that instead of GENHD_FL_NO_PART
in the loop driver.

VFS: add FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT file flag

Currently various places test if direct IO is possible on a file by
checking for the existence of the direct_IO address space operation.
This is a poor choice, as the direct_IO operation may not be used - it is
only used if the generic_file_*_iter functions are called for direct IO
and some filesystems - particularly NFS - don't do this.

Instead, introduce a new f_mode flag: FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT and change the
various places to check this (avoiding pointer dereferences).
do_dentry_open() will set this flag if ->direct_IO is present, so
filesystems do not need to be changed.

NFS *is* changed, to set the flag explicitly and discard the direct_IO
entry in the address_space_operations for files.

Other filesystems which currently use noop_direct_IO could usefully be
changed to set this flag instead.

lo_refcount counts how many openers a loop device has, but that count
is already provided by the block layer in the bd_openers field of the
whole-disk block_device. Remove lo_refcount and allow opens to
succeed even on devices beeing deleted - now that ->free_disk is
implemented we can handle that race gracefull and all I/O on it will
just fail. Similarly there is a small race window now where
loop_control_remove does not synchronize the delete vs the remove
due do bd_openers not being under lo_mutex protection, but we can
handle that just as gracefully.

# 158eaeba 29-Mar-2022 Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp>

loop: avoid loop_validate_mutex/lo_mutex in ->release

Since ->release is called with disk->open_mutex held, and __loop_clr_fd()
from lo_release() is called via ->release when disk_openers() == 0, we are
guaranteed that "struct file" which will be passed to loop_validate_file()
via fget() cannot be the loop device __loop_clr_fd(lo, true) will clear.
Thus, there is no need to hold loop_validate_mutex from __loop_clr_fd()
if release == true.

When I made commit 3ce6e1f662a91097 ("loop: reintroduce global lock for
safe loop_validate_file() traversal"), I wrote "It is acceptable for
loop_validate_file() to succeed, for actual clear operation has not started
yet.". But now I came to feel why it is acceptable to succeed.

It seems that the loop driver was added in Linux 1.3.68, and

if (lo->lo_refcnt > 1)
return -EBUSY;

check in loop_clr_fd() was there from the beginning. The intent of this
check was unclear. But now I think that current

disk_openers(lo->lo_disk) > 1

form is there for three reasons.

(1) Avoid I/O errors when some process which opens and reads from this
loop device in response to uevent notification (e.g. systemd-udevd),
as described in commit a1ecac3b0656a682 ("loop: Make explicit loop
device destruction lazy"). This opener is short-lived because it is
likely that the file descriptor used by that process is closed soon.

(2) Avoid I/O errors caused by underlying layer of stacked loop devices
(i.e. ioctl(some_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, other_loop_fd)) being suddenly
disappeared. This opener is long-lived because this reference is
associated with not a file descriptor but lo->lo_backing_file.

(3) Avoid I/O errors caused by underlying layer of mounted loop device
(i.e. mount(some_loop_device, some_mount_point)) being suddenly
disappeared. This opener is long-lived because this reference is
associated with not a file descriptor but mount.

While race in (1) might be acceptable, (2) and (3) should be checked
racelessly. That is, make sure that __loop_clr_fd() will not run if
loop_validate_file() succeeds, by doing refcount check with global lock
held when explicit loop device destruction is requested.

As a result of no longer waiting for lo->lo_mutex after setting Lo_rundown,
we can remove pointless BUG_ON(lo->lo_state != Lo_rundown) check.

loop: suppress uevents while reconfiguring the device

Currently, udev change event is generated for a loop device before the
device is ready for IO. Due to serialization on lo->lo_mutex in
lo_open() this does not matter because anybody is able to open the
device and do IO only after the configuration is finished. However this
synchronization in lo_open() is going away so make sure userspace
reacting to the change event will see the new device state by generating
the event only when the device is setup.

block: loop:use kstatfs.f_bsize of backing file to set discard granularity

If backing file's filesystem has implemented ->fallocate(), we think the
loop device can support discard, then pass sb->s_blocksize as
discard_granularity. However, some underlying FS, such as overlayfs,
doesn't set sb->s_blocksize, and causes discard_granularity to be set as
zero, then the warning in __blkdev_issue_discard() is triggered.

Christoph suggested to pass kstatfs.f_bsize as discard granularity, and
this way is fine because kstatfs.f_bsize means 'Optimal transfer block
size', which still matches with definition of discard granularity.

So fix the issue by setting discard_granularity as kstatfs.f_bsize if it
is available, otherwise claims discard isn't supported.

loop: make autoclear operation asynchronous

syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for
commit 87579e9b7d8dc36e ("loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker")

This circular dependency cannot be broken unless we call __loop_clr_fd()
without holding disk->open_mutex. Therefore, defer __loop_clr_fd() from
lo_release() to a WQ context.

loop: don't hold lo_mutex during __loop_clr_fd()

syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for
commit 87579e9b7d8dc36e ("loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker")
is calling destroy_workqueue() with lo->lo_mutex held.

Since all functions where lo->lo_state matters are already checking
lo->lo_state with lo->lo_mutex held (in order to avoid racing with e.g.
ioctl(LOOP_CTL_REMOVE)), and __loop_clr_fd() can be called from either
ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) xor close(), lo->lo_state == Lo_rundown is considered
as an exclusive lock for __loop_clr_fd(). Therefore, hold lo->lo_mutex
inside __loop_clr_fd() only when asserting/updating lo->lo_state.

Since ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) depends on lo->lo_state == Lo_bound, a valid
lo->lo_backing_file must have been assigned by ioctl(LOOP_SET_FD) or
ioctl(LOOP_CONFIGURE). Thus, we can remove lo->lo_backing_file test,
and convert __loop_clr_fd() into a void function.

block: remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer

Support for cyrptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated
in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if
needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has
been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April
2013). The XOR transfer has never been more than a toy to demonstrate
the transfer in the bad old times of crypto export restrictions.
Remove them as they have some nasty interactions with loop device life
times due to the iteration over all loop devices in
loop_unregister_transfer.

loop: reduce the loop_ctl_mutex scope

syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for
commit a160c6159d4a0cf8 ("block: add an optional probe callback to
major_names") is calling the module's probe function with major_names_lock
held.

Fortunately, since commit 990e78116d38059c ("block: loop: fix deadlock
between open and remove") stopped holding loop_ctl_mutex in lo_open(),
current role of loop_ctl_mutex is to serialize access to loop_index_idr
and loop_add()/loop_remove(); in other words, management of id for IDR.
To avoid holding loop_ctl_mutex during whole add/remove operation, use
a bool flag to indicate whether the loop device is ready for use.

loop_unregister_transfer() which is called from cleanup_cryptoloop()
currently has possibility of use-after-free problem due to lack of
serialization between kfree() from loop_remove() from loop_control_remove()
and mutex_lock() from unregister_transfer_cb(). But since lo->lo_encryption
should be already NULL when this function is called due to module unload,
and commit 222013f9ac30b9ce ("cryptoloop: add a deprecation warning")
indicates that we will remove this function shortly, this patch updates
this function to emit warning instead of checking lo->lo_encryption.

Holding loop_ctl_mutex in loop_exit() is pointless, for all users must
close /dev/loop-control and /dev/loop$num (in order to drop module's
refcount to 0) before loop_exit() starts, and nobody can open
/dev/loop-control or /dev/loop$num afterwards.

# 2112f5c1 05-Aug-2021 Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>

loop: Select I/O scheduler 'none' from inside add_disk()

We noticed that the user interface of Android devices becomes very slow
under memory pressure. This is because Android uses the zram driver on top
of the loop driver for swapping, because under memory pressure the swap
code alternates reads and writes quickly, because mq-deadline is the
default scheduler for loop devices and because mq-deadline delays writes by
five seconds for such a workload with default settings. Fix this by making
the kernel select I/O scheduler 'none' from inside add_disk() for loop
devices. This default can be overridden at any time from user space,
e.g. via a udev rule. This approach has an advantage compared to changing
the I/O scheduler from userspace from 'mq-deadline' into 'none', namely
that synchronize_rcu() does not get called.

This patch changes the default I/O scheduler for loop devices from
'mq-deadline' into 'none'.

Additionally, this patch reduces the Android boot time on my test setup
with 0.5 seconds compared to configuring the loop I/O scheduler from user
space.

Commit 6cc8e7430801fa23 ("loop: scale loop device by introducing per

loop_validate_file() where commit 310ca162d779efee ("block/loop: Use

Although we need to guarantee that other loop devices will not change
during traversal, we can't take remote "struct loop_device"->lo_mutex
inside loop_validate_file() in order to avoid AB-BA deadlock. Therefore,
introduce a global lock dedicated for loop_validate_file() which is
conditionally taken before local "struct loop_device"->lo_mutex is taken.

loop: charge i/o to mem and blk cg

The current code only associates with the existing blkcg when aio is used
to access the backing file. This patch covers all types of i/o to the
backing file and also associates the memcg so if the backing file is on
tmpfs, memory is charged appropriately.

This patch also exports cgroup_get_e_css and int_active_memcg so it can be
used by the loop module.

loop: use worker per cgroup instead of kworker

Patch series "Charge loop device i/o to issuing cgroup", v14.

The loop device runs all i/o to the backing file on a separate kworker
thread which results in all i/o being charged to the root cgroup. This
allows a loop device to be used to trivially bypass resource limits and
other policy. This patch series fixes this gap in accounting.

A simple script to demonstrate this behavior on cgroupv2 machine:

'''
#!/bin/bash
set -e

CGROUP=/sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice
LOOP_DEV=/dev/loop0

if [[ ! -d $CGROUP ]]
then
sudo mkdir $CGROUP
fi

grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events

# Set a memory limit, write more than that limit to tmpfs -> OOM kill
sudo unshare -m bash -c "
echo \$\$ > $CGROUP/cgroup.procs;
echo 0 > $CGROUP/memory.swap.max;
echo 64M > $CGROUP/memory.max;
mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /tmp;
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/file bs=1M count=256" || true

grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events

# Set a memory limit, write more than that limit through loopback
# device -> no OOM kill
sudo unshare -m bash -c "
echo \$\$ > $CGROUP/cgroup.procs;
echo 0 > $CGROUP/memory.swap.max;
echo 64M > $CGROUP/memory.max;
mount -t tmpfs -o size=512m tmpfs /tmp;
truncate -s 512m /tmp/backing_file
losetup $LOOP_DEV /tmp/backing_file
dd if=/dev/zero of=$LOOP_DEV bs=1M count=256;
losetup -D $LOOP_DEV" || true

grep oom_kill $CGROUP/memory.events
'''

Naively charging cgroups could result in priority inversions through the
single kworker thread in the case where multiple cgroups are
reading/writing to the same loop device. This patch series does some
minor modification to the loop driver so that each cgroup can make forward
progress independently to avoid this inversion.

With this patch series applied, the above script triggers OOM kills when
writing through the loop device as expected.

This patch (of 3):

Existing uses of loop device may have multiple cgroups reading/writing to
the same device. Simply charging resources for I/O to the backing file
could result in priority inversion where one cgroup gets synchronously
blocked, holding up all other I/O to the loop device.

In order to avoid this priority inversion, we use a single workqueue where
each work item is a "struct loop_worker" which contains a queue of struct
loop_cmds to issue. The loop device maintains a tree mapping blk css_id
-> loop_worker. This allows each cgroup to independently make forward
progress issuing I/O to the backing file.

There is also a single queue for I/O associated with the rootcg which can
be used in cases of extreme memory shortage where we cannot allocate a
loop_worker.

The locking for the tree and queues is fairly heavy handed - we acquire a
per-loop-device spinlock any time either is accessed. The existing
implementation serializes all I/O through a single thread anyways, so I
don't believe this is any worse.

block: loop: fix deadlock between open and remove

Commit c76f48eb5c08 ("block: take bd_mutex around delete_partitions in
del_gendisk") adds disk->part0->bd_mutex in del_gendisk(), this way
causes the following AB/BA deadlock between removing loop and opening
loop:

1) loop_control_ioctl(LOOP_CTL_REMOVE)
-> mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex)
-> del_gendisk
-> mutex_lock(&disk->part0->bd_mutex)

2) blkdev_get_by_dev
-> mutex_lock(&disk->part0->bd_mutex)
-> lo_open
-> mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex)

Add a new Lo_deleting state to remove the need for clearing
->private_data and thus holding loop_ctl_mutex in the ioctl
LOOP_CTL_REMOVE path.

Based on an analysis and earlier patch from
Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>.

loop: fix I/O error on fsync() in detached loop devices

There's an I/O error on fsync() in a detached loop device
if it has been previously attached.

The issue is write cache is enabled in the attach path in
loop_configure() but it isn't disabled in the detach path;
thus it remains enabled in the block device regardless of
whether it is attached or not.

Now fsync() can get an I/O request that will just be failed
later in loop_queue_rq() as device's state is not 'Lo_bound'.

So, disable write cache in the detach path.

Do so based on the queue flag, not the loop device flag for
read-only (used to enable) as the queue flag can be changed
via sysfs even on read-only loop devices (e.g., losetup -r.)

Test-case:

# DEV=/dev/loop7

# IMG=/tmp/image
# truncate --size 1M $IMG

# losetup $DEV $IMG
# losetup -d $DEV

Before:

# strace -e fsync parted -s $DEV print 2>&1 | grep fsync
fsync(3) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
Warning: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/loop7: Input/output error
[ 982.529929] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop7, sector 0 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 0 prio class 0

After:

# strace -e fsync parted -s $DEV print 2>&1 | grep fsync
fsync(3) = 0

loop: scale loop device by introducing per device lock

Currently, loop device has only one global lock: loop_ctl_mutex.

This becomes hot in scenarios where many loop devices are used.

Scale it by introducing per-device lock: lo_mutex that protects
modifications of all fields in struct loop_device.

Keep loop_ctl_mutex to protect global data: loop_index_idr, loop_lookup,
loop_add.

The new lock ordering requirement is that loop_ctl_mutex must be taken
before lo_mutex.

block: loop: set discard granularity and alignment for block device backed loop

In case of block device backend, if the backend supports write zeros, the

limits.discard_granularity isn't setup, and this way is wrong,
see the following description in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block:

A discard_granularity of 0 means that the device does not support
discard functionality.

Especially 9b15d109a6b2 ("block: improve discard bio alignment in

for computing max discard sectors. And zero discard granularity may cause
kernel oops, or fail discard request even though the loop queue claims

# a37b0715 01-Jun-2020 NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

mm/writeback: replace PF_LESS_THROTTLE with PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).

The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.

This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.

The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.

This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.

In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.

This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.

So this patch
- renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
- removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
- If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.

Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

blk-mq: drain I/O when all CPUs in a hctx are offline

Most of blk-mq drivers depend on managed IRQ's auto-affinity to setup
up queue mapping. Thomas mentioned the following point[1]:

"That was the constraint of managed interrupts from the very beginning:

The driver/subsystem has to quiesce the interrupt line and the associated
queue _before_ it gets shutdown in CPU unplug and not fiddle with it
until it's restarted by the core when the CPU is plugged in again."

However, current blk-mq implementation doesn't quiesce hw queue before
the last CPU in the hctx is shutdown. Even worse, CPUHP_BLK_MQ_DEAD is a
cpuhp state handled after the CPU is down, so there isn't any chance to
quiesce the hctx before shutting down the CPU.

Add new CPUHP_AP_BLK_MQ_ONLINE state to stop allocating from blk-mq hctxs
where the last CPU goes away, and wait for completion of in-flight
requests. This guarantees that there is no inflight I/O before shutting
down the managed IRQ.

Add a BLK_MQ_F_STACKING and set it for dm-rq and loop, so we don't need
to wait for completion of in-flight requests from these drivers to avoid
a potential dead-lock. It is safe to do this for stacking drivers as those
do not use interrupts at all and their I/O completions are triggered by
underlying devices I/O completion.

# 3448914e 13-May-2020 Martijn Coenen <maco@android.com>

loop: Add LOOP_CONFIGURE ioctl

This allows userspace to completely setup a loop device with a single
ioctl, removing the in-between state where the device can be partially
configured - eg the loop device has a backing file associated with it,
but is reading from the wrong offset.

Besides removing the intermediate state, another big benefit of this
ioctl is that LOOP_SET_STATUS can be slow; the main reason for this
slowness is that LOOP_SET_STATUS(64) calls blk_mq_freeze_queue() to
freeze the associated queue; this requires waiting for RCU
synchronization, which I've measured can take about 15-20ms on this
device on average.

In addition to doing what LOOP_SET_STATUS can do, LOOP_CONFIGURE can
also be used to:
- Set the correct block size immediately by setting
loop_config.block_size (avoids LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE)
- Explicitly request direct I/O mode by setting LO_FLAGS_DIRECT_IO
in loop_config.info.lo_flags (avoids LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO)
- Explicitly request read-only mode by setting LO_FLAGS_READ_ONLY
in loop_config.info.lo_flags

Here's setting up ~70 regular loop devices with an offset on an x86
Android device, using LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS:

vsoc_x86:/system/apex # time for i in `seq 30 100`;
do losetup -r -o 4096 /dev/block/loop$i com.android.adbd.apex; done
0m03.40s real 0m00.02s user 0m00.03s system

Here's configuring ~70 devices in the same way, but using a modified
losetup that uses the new LOOP_CONFIGURE ioctl:

vsoc_x86:/system/apex # time for i in `seq 30 100`;
do losetup -r -o 4096 /dev/block/loop$i com.android.adbd.apex; done
0m01.94s real 0m00.01s user 0m00.01s system

loop: Clean up LOOP_SET_STATUS lo_flags handling

LOOP_SET_STATUS(64) will actually allow some lo_flags to be modified; in
particular, LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR can be set and cleared, whereas
LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN can be set to request a partition scan. Make this
explicit by updating the UAPI to include the flags that can be
set/cleared using this ioctl.

The implementation can then blindly take over the passed in flags,
and use the previous flags for those flags that can't be set / cleared
using LOOP_SET_STATUS.

loop: Better discard support for block devices

If the backing device for a loop device is itself a block device,
then mirror the "write zeroes" capabilities of the underlying
block device into the loop device. Copy this capability into both
max_write_zeroes_sectors and max_discard_sectors of the loop device.

The reason for this is that REQ_OP_DISCARD on a loop device translates
into blkdev_issue_zeroout(), rather than blkdev_issue_discard(). This
presents a consistent interface for loop devices (that discarded data
is zeroed), regardless of the backing device type of the loop device.
There should be no behavior change for loop devices backed by regular
files.

This change fixes blktest block/003, and removes an extraneous
error print in block/013 when testing on a loop device backed
by a block device that does not support discard.

loop: fix no-unmap write-zeroes request behavior

Currently, if the loop device receives a WRITE_ZEROES request, it asks
the underlying filesystem to punch out the range. This behavior is
correct if unmapping is allowed. However, a NOUNMAP request means that
the caller doesn't want us to free the storage backing the range, so
punching out the range is incorrect behavior.

To satisfy a NOUNMAP | WRITE_ZEROES request, loop should ask the
underlying filesystem to FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, which is (according to
the fallocate documentation) required to ensure that the entire range is
backed by real storage, which suffices for our purposes.

loop: Fix mount(2) failure due to race with LOOP_SET_FD

Commit 33ec3e53e7b1 ("loop: Don't change loop device under exclusive
opener") made LOOP_SET_FD ioctl acquire exclusive block device reference
while it updates loop device binding. However this can make perfectly
valid mount(2) fail with EBUSY due to racing LOOP_SET_FD holding
temporarily the exclusive bdev reference in cases like this:

for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=$i.image bs=1k count=0 seek=1024
mkfs.ext2 $i.image
mkdir mnt$i
done

echo "Run"
for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do
mount -o loop -t ext2 $i.image mnt$i &
done

Fix the problem by not getting full exclusive bdev reference in
LOOP_SET_FD but instead just mark the bdev as being claimed while we
update the binding information. This just blocks new exclusive openers
instead of failing them with EBUSY thus fixing the problem.

block: never take page references for ITER_BVEC

If we pass pages through an iov_iter we always already have a reference
in the caller. Thus remove the ITER_BVEC_FLAG_NO_REF and don't take
reference to pages by default for bvec backed iov_iters.

loop: Don't change loop device under exclusive opener

Loop module allows calling LOOP_SET_FD while there are other openers of
the loop device. Even exclusive ones. This can lead to weird
consequences such as kernel deadlocks like:

mount_bdev() lo_ioctl()
udf_fill_super()
udf_load_vrs()
sb_set_blocksize() - sets desired block size B
udf_tread()
sb_bread()
__bread_gfp(bdev, block, B)
loop_set_fd()
set_blocksize()
- now __getblk_slow() indefinitely loops because B != bdev
block size

Fix the problem by disallowing LOOP_SET_FD ioctl when there are
exclusive openers of a loop device.

[Deliberately chosen not to CC stable as a user with priviledges to
trigger this race has other means of taking the system down and this
has a potential of breaking some weird userspace setup]

block: loop: mark bvec as ITER_BVEC_FLAG_NO_REF

loop is one block device, for any bio submitted to this device,
the upper layer does guarantee that pages added to loop's bio won't
go away when the bio is in-flight.

So mark loop's bvec as ITER_BVEC_FLAG_NO_REF then get_page/put_page

loop: properly observe rotational flag of underlying device

The loop driver always declares the rotational flag of its device as
rotational, even when the device of the mapped file is nonrotational,
as is the case with SSDs or on tmpfs. This can confuse filesystem tools
which are SSD-aware; in my case I frequently forget to tell mkfs.btrfs
that my loop device on tmpfs is nonrotational, and that I really don't
need any automatic metadata redundancy.

The attached patch fixes this by introspecting the rotational flag of the
mapped file's underlying block device, if it exists. If the mapped file's
filesystem has no associated block device - as is the case on e.g. tmpfs -
we assume nonrotational storage. If there is a better way to identify such
non-devices I'd love to hear them.

loop: access lo_backing_file only when the loop device is Lo_bound

Commit 758a58d0bc67 ("loop: set GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN after
blkdev_reread_part()") separates "lo->lo_backing_file = NULL" and
"lo->lo_state = Lo_unbound" into different critical regions protected by
loop_ctl_mutex.

However, there is below race that the NULL lo->lo_backing_file would be
accessed when the backend of a loop is another loop device, e.g., loop0's
backend is a file, while loop1's backend is loop0.

loop0's backend is file loop1's backend is loop0

__loop_clr_fd()
mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex);
lo->lo_backing_file = NULL; --> set to NULL
mutex_unlock(&loop_ctl_mutex);
loop_set_fd()
mutex_lock_killable(&loop_ctl_mutex);
loop_validate_file()
f = l->lo_backing_file; --> NULL
access if loop0 is not Lo_unbound
mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex);
lo->lo_state = Lo_unbound;
mutex_unlock(&loop_ctl_mutex);

lo->lo_backing_file should be accessed only when the loop device is
Lo_bound.

In fact, the problem has been introduced already in commit 7ccd0791d985
("loop: Push loop_ctl_mutex down into loop_clr_fd()") after which
loop_validate_file() could see devices in Lo_rundown state with which it
did not count. It was harmless at that point but still.

loop: set GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN after blkdev_reread_part()

Commit 0da03cab87e6
("loop: Fix deadlock when calling blkdev_reread_part()") moves
blkdev_reread_part() out of the loop_ctl_mutex. However,
GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN is set before __blkdev_reread_part(). As a result,
__blkdev_reread_part() will fail the check of GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN and
will not rescan the loop device to delete all partitions.

Below are steps to reproduce the issue:

step1 # dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.raw bs=1M count=100
step2 # losetup -P /dev/loop0 tmp.raw
step3 # parted /dev/loop0 mklabel gpt
step4 # parted -a none -s /dev/loop0 mkpart primary 64s 1
step5 # losetup -d /dev/loop0

Step5 will not be able to delete /dev/loop0p1 (introduced by step4) and
there is below kernel warning message:

move a detection for this into loop_clr_fd() and simplify

This makes loop_reread_partition() safe to use without loop_ctl_mutex
because we use only lo->lo_number and lo->lo_file_name in case of error

not a big deal) and we are safe from 'lo' going away under us by

block/loop: Use global lock for ioctl() operation.

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference [1] which is caused by
race condition between ioctl(loop_fd, LOOP_CLR_FD, 0) versus
ioctl(other_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, loop_fd) due to traversing other
loop devices at loop_validate_file() without holding corresponding

Since ioctl() request on loop devices is not frequent operation, we don't
need fine grained locking. Let's use global lock in order to allow safe

Note that syzbot is also reporting circular locking dependency between

iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functions

In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further
iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required.

treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

// Fix redundant parens around sizeof().

expression THING, E;

loop: add recursion validation to LOOP_CHANGE_FD

Refactor the validation code used in LOOP_SET_FD so it is also used in
LOOP_CHANGE_FD. Otherwise it is possible to construct a set of loop
devices that all refer to each other. This can lead to a infinite
loop in starting with "while (is_loop_device(f)) .." in loop_set_fd().

Fix this by refactoring out the validation code and using it for
LOOP_CHANGE_FD as well as LOOP_SET_FD.

This is the per-I/O equivalent of the ioprio_set system call.

When IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO is set on the iocb aio_flags field, then we set the
newly added kiocb ki_ioprio field to the value in the iocb aio_reqprio field.

This patch depends on block: add ioprio_check_cap function.

loop: clear wb_err in bd_inode when detaching backing file

When a loop block device encounters a writeback error, that error will
get propagated to the bd_inode's wb_err field. If we then detach the
backing file from it, attach another and fsync it, we'll get back the
writeback error that we had from the previous backing file.

This is a bit of a grey area as POSIX doesn't cover loop devices, but it
is somewhat counterintuitive.

If we detach a backing file from the loopdev while there are still
unreported errors, take it as a sign that we're no longer interested in
the previous file, and clear out the wb_err in the loop blockdev.

loop: handle short DIO reads

We ran into an issue with loop and btrfs, where btrfs would complain about
checksum errors. It turns out that is because we don't handle short reads
at all, we just zero fill the remainder. Worse than that, we don't handle
the filling properly, which results in loop trying to advance a single
bio by much more than its size, since it doesn't take chaining into
account.

Handle short reads appropriately, by simply retrying at the new correct
offset. End the remainder of the request with EIO, if we get a 0 read.

loop: don't call into filesystem while holding lo_ctl_mutex

We hit an issue where a loop device on NFS was stuck in
loop_get_status() doing vfs_getattr() after the NFS server died, which
caused a pile-up of uninterruptible processes waiting on lo_ctl_mutex.
There's no reason to hold this lock while we wait on the filesystem;
let's drop it so that other processes can do their thing. We need to
grab a reference on lo_backing_file while we use it, and we can get rid
of the check on lo_device, which has been unnecessary since commit

commit aa4d86163e4e ("block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC")

replaced __do_lo_send_write(), which used ITER_KVEC iterators, with
lo_write_bvec() which uses ITER_BVEC iterators. In this change, though,
the WRITE flag was lost:

- iov_iter_kvec(&from, ITER_KVEC | WRITE, &kvec, 1, len);
+ iov_iter_bvec(&i, ITER_BVEC, bvec, 1, bvec->bv_len);

This flag is necessary for the DAX case because we make decisions based on
whether or not the iterator is a READ or a WRITE in dax_iomap_actor() and
in dax_iomap_rw().

We end up going through this path in configurations where we combine a PMEM
device with 4k sectors, a loopback device and DAX. The consequence of this
missed flag is that what we intend as a write actually turns into a read in
the DAX code, so no data is ever written.

The very simplest test case is to create a loopback device and try and
write a small string to it, then hexdump a few bytes of the device to see
if the write took. Without this patch you read back all zeros, with this
you read back the string you wrote.

For XFS this causes us to fail or panic during the following xfstests:

xfs/074 xfs/078 xfs/216 xfs/217 xfs/250

For ext4 we have a similar issue where writes never happen, but we don't
currently have any xfstests that use loopback and show this issue.

Fix this by restoring the WRITE flag argument to iov_iter_bvec(). This
causes the xfstests to all pass.

block/loop: make loop cgroup aware

loop block device handles IO in a separate thread. The actual IO
dispatched isn't cloned from the IO loop device received, so the
dispatched IO loses the cgroup context.

I'm ignoring buffer IO case now, which is quite complicated. Making the
loop thread aware cgroup context doesn't really help. The loop device
only writes to a single file. In current writeback cgroup
implementation, the file can only belong to one cgroup.

For direct IO case, we could workaround the issue in theory. For
example, say we assign cgroup1 5M/s BW for loop device and cgroup2
10M/s. We can create a special cgroup for loop thread and assign at
least 15M/s for the underlayer disk. In this way, we correctly throttle
the two cgroups. But this is tricky to setup.

This patch tries to address the issue. We record bio's css in loop
command. When loop thread is handling the command, we then use the API
provided in patch 1 to set the css for current task. The bio layer will
use the css for new IO (from patch 3).

# b2ee7d46 15-Jun-2017 NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>

loop: Add PF_LESS_THROTTLE to block/loop device thread.

When a filesystem is mounted from a loop device, writes are
throttled by balance_dirty_pages() twice: once when writing
to the filesystem and once when the loop_handle_cmd() writes
to the backing file. This double-throttling can trigger
positive feedback loops that create significant delays. The
throttling at the lower level is seen by the upper level as
a slow device, so it throttles extra hard.

The PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag was created to handle exactly this
circumstance, though with an NFS filesystem mounted from a
local NFS server. It reduces the throttling on the lower
layer so that it can proceed largely unthrottled.

To demonstrate this, create a filesystem on a loop device
and write (e.g. with dd) several large files which combine
to consume significantly more than the limit set by
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes. Measure the total
time taken.

When I do this directly on a device (no loop device) the
total time for several runs (mkfs, mount, write 200 files,
umount) is fairly stable: 28-35 seconds.
When I do this over a loop device the times are much worse
and less stable. 52-460 seconds. Half below 100seconds,
half above.
When I apply this patch, the times become stable again,
though not as fast as the no-loop-back case: 53-72 seconds.

There may be room for further improvement as the total overhead still
seems too high, but this is a big improvement.

block: introduce new block status code type

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Fix loop device flush before configure v3

While installing SLES-12 (based on v4.4), I found that the installer
will stall for 60+ seconds during LVM disk scan. The root cause was
determined to be the removal of a bound device check in loop_flush()
by commit b5dd2f6047ca ("block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq").

Restoring this check, examining ->lo_state as set by loop_set_fd()
eliminates the bad behavior.

Test method:
modprobe loop max_loop=64
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk bs=512 count=200K
for((i=0;i<4;i++))do losetup -f disk; done
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/loop0
for((i=0;i<4;i++))do mkdir t$i; mount /dev/loop$i t$i;done
for f in `ls /dev/loop[0-9]*|sort`; do \
echo $f; dd if=$f of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1; \
done

Test output: stock patched
/dev/loop0 18.1217e-05 8.3842e-05

statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
underlying filesystem.

The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
function.

Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.

========
OVERVIEW
========

The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
with an extended stat structure.

A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
following have been included:

(1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.

(2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
future expansion.

(3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
__s64).

(4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).

This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
be exported by NFSD [Steve French].

(5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).

(6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).

And the following have been left out for future extension:

(7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
Kumar].

Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.

(There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
not all filesystems do this the same way).

(8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
[Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].

(9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
[Bernd Schubert].

(This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
whether it's a security hole or not).

(10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].

(No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
into this category).

(11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
exist or are fabricated locally...

(This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
for this).

(12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
struct xstat [Steve French].

(Deferred to fsinfo).

(13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].

(Deferred to fsinfo).

(14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

(Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
be exposed through statx this way).

(15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
Michael Kerrisk].

(Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).

(16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].

(A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
this - if there proves to be a need).

(17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.

===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============

The new system call is:

int ret = statx(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned int flags,
unsigned int mask,
struct statx *buffer);

The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.

Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
only affects network filesystems):

(1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
respect.

(2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
occur to get the timestamps correct.

(3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
approximate.

mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
more information may entail extra I/O operations.

buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
size.

======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================

The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
set:

struct statx_timestamp {
__s64 tv_sec;
__s32 tv_nsec;
__s32 __reserved;
};

struct statx {
__u32 stx_mask;
__u32 stx_blksize;
__u64 stx_attributes;
__u32 stx_nlink;
__u32 stx_uid;
__u32 stx_gid;
__u16 stx_mode;
__u16 __spare0[1];
__u64 stx_ino;
__u64 stx_size;
__u64 stx_blocks;
__u64 __spare1[1];
struct statx_timestamp stx_atime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_btime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime;
__u32 stx_rdev_major;
__u32 stx_rdev_minor;
__u32 stx_dev_major;
__u32 stx_dev_minor;
__u64 __spare2[14];
};

The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are:

STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT
STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT
STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink
STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid
STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid
STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns}
STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns}
STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns}
STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino
STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size
STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks
STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct]
STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff]

stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
placed.

Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note
that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
fields will also be negative if not zero.

The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:

STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs

Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:

KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS

[Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
through this interface?]

New flags include:

STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger

These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are.

Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:

(0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.

These are local system information and are always available.

(1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
stx_size, stx_blocks.

These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
actually have valid values.

If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.

If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
value will be a fabrication.

Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
instance Windows reparse points.

(2) stx_rdev_*.

This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.

(3) stx_btime.

Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.

=======
TESTING
=======

The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:

samples/statx/test-statx.c

Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.

Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

kthread: kthread worker API cleanup

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each
worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process
queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

+ "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

+ INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

+ init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
functions. It looks much better if all the functions
use the same scheme.

+ There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
functions use the same naming scheme.

+ there are several precedents for such init() function
names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

+ It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

Starting from commit e36f620428(block: split bios to max possible length),
block core starts to split bio in the middle of bvec.

Unfortunately loop dio/aio doesn't consider this situation, and
always treat 'iter.iov_offset' as zero. Then filesystem corruption
is observed.

This patch figures out the offset of the base bvevc via
'bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done' and fixes the issue by passing the offset

block: loop: support DIO & AIO

There are at least 3 advantages to use direct I/O and AIO on
read/write loop's backing file:

1) double cache can be avoided, then memory usage gets
decreased a lot

2) not like user space direct I/O, there isn't cost of
pinning pages

3) avoid context switch for obtaining good throughput
- in buffered file read, random I/O top throughput is often obtained
only if they are submitted concurrently from lots of tasks; but for
sequential I/O, most of times they can be hit from page cache, so
concurrent submissions often introduce unnecessary context switch
and can't improve throughput much. There was such discussion[1]
to use non-blocking I/O to improve the problem for application.
- with direct I/O and AIO, concurrent submissions can be
avoided and random read throughput can't be affected meantime

xfstests(-g auto, ext4) is basically passed when running with
direct I/O(aio), one exception is generic/232, but it failed in
loop buffered I/O(4.2-rc6-next-20150814) too.

Follows the fio test result for performance purpose:
4 jobs fio test inside ext4 file system over loop block

1) How to run
- KVM: 4 VCPUs, 2G RAM
- linux kernel: 4.2-rc6-next-20150814(base) with the patchset
- the loop block is over one image on SSD.
- linux psync, 4 jobs, size 1500M, ext4 over loop block
- test result: IOPS from fio output

2) Throughput(IOPS) becomes a bit better with direct I/O(aio)
-------------------------------------------------------------
test cases |randread |read |randwrite |write |
-------------------------------------------------------------
base |8015 |113811 |67442 |106978
-------------------------------------------------------------
base+loop aio |8136 |125040 |67811 |111376
-------------------------------------------------------------

- somehow, it should be caused by more page cache avaiable for
application or one extra page copy is avoided in case of direct I/O

3) context switch
- context switch decreased by ~50% with loop direct I/O(aio)
compared with loop buffered I/O(4.2-rc6-next-20150814)

4) memory usage from /proc/meminfo
-------------------------------------------------------------
| Buffers | Cached
-------------------------------------------------------------

block: loop: introduce ioctl command of LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO

If loop block is mounted via 'mount -o loop', it isn't easy
to pass file descriptor opened as O_DIRECT, so this patch
introduces a new command to support direct IO for this case.

block: loop: prepare for supporing direct IO

This patches provides one interface for enabling direct IO
from user space:

- userspace(such as losetup) can pass 'file' which is
opened/fcntl as O_DIRECT

Also __loop_update_dio() is introduced to check if direct I/O
can be used on current loop setting.

The last big change is to introduce LO_FLAGS_DIRECT_IO flag
for userspace to know if direct IO is used to access backing
file.

block: loop: use kthread_work

The following patch will use dio/aio to submit IO to backing file,
then it needn't to schedule IO concurrently from work, so
use kthread_work for decreasing context switch cost a lot.

For non-AIO case, single thread has been used for long long time,
and it was just converted to work in v4.0, which has caused performance
regression for fedora live booting already. In discussion[1], even
though submitting I/O via work concurrently can improve random read IO
throughput, meantime it might hurt sequential read IO performance, so
better to restore to single thread behaviour.

For the following AIO support, it is better to use multi hw-queue
with per-hwq kthread than current work approach suppose there is so
high performance requirement for loop.

block: loop: fix another reread part failure

loop_clr_fd() can be run piggyback with lo_release(), and
under this situation, reread partition may always fail because
bd_mutex has been held already.

This patch detects the situation by the reference count, and
call __blkdev_reread_part() to avoid acquiring the lock again.

In the meantime, this patch switches to new kernel APIs
of blkdev_reread_part() and __blkdev_reread_part().

# f8933667 05-May-2015 Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>

block: loop: don't hold lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open

The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and
in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for
rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex.

So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may
fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context:

blkid or other application:
->open()
->mutex_lock(bd_mutex)
->lo_open()
->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)

losetup(set fd ioctl):
->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)
->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART)
->trylock(bd_mutex)

This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing
lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach:

1) make lo_refcnt as atomic_t and avoid acquiring lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open():
- for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex
- freeze request queue during clr_fd, so I/O can't come until
clearing fd is completed, like the effect of holding lo_ctl_mutex
in lo_open
- both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already

2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in
lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.

block: loop: avoiding too many pending per work I/O

If there are too many pending per work I/O, too many
high priority work thread can be generated so that
system performance can be effected.

This patch limits the max_active parameter of workqueue as 16.

This patch fixes Fedora 22 live booting performance
regression when it is booted from squashfs over dm
based on loop, and looks the following reasons are
related with the problem:

- not like other filesyststems(such as ext4), squashfs
is a bit special, and I observed that increasing I/O jobs
to access file in squashfs only improve I/O performance a
little, but it can make big difference for ext4

- nested loop: both squashfs.img and ext3fs.img are mounted
as loop block, and ext3fs.img is inside the squashfs

- during booting, lots of tasks may run concurrently

If there is dependency among multiple work items used
during memory reclaim, they should be queued to separate
wq each with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.

Loop devices can be stacked, so we have to convert to per-device

# 6cd18e71 26-Apr-2015 NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().

Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'.

Since:
commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info

moved the
device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().

The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains

> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'

We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.

Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq

The conversion is a bit straightforward, and use work queue to
dispatch requests of loop block, and one big change is that requests
is submitted to backend file/device concurrently with work queue,
so throughput may get improved much. Given write requests over same
file are often run exclusively, so don't handle them concurrently for
avoiding extra context switch cost, possible lock contention and work
schedule cost. Also with blk-mq, there is opportunity to get loop I/O
merged before submitting to backend file/device.

In the following test:
- base: v3.19-rc2-2041231
- loop over file in ext4 file system on SSD disk
- bs: 4k, libaio, io depth: 64, O_DIRECT, num of jobs: 1
- throughput: IOPS

------------------------------------------------------
| | base | base with loop-mq | delta |
------------------------------------------------------
| randread | 1740 | 25318 | +1355%|
------------------------------------------------------
| read | 42196 | 51771 | +22.6%|
-----------------------------------------------------
| randwrite | 35709 | 34624 | -3% |
-----------------------------------------------------
| write | 39137 | 40326 | +3% |
-----------------------------------------------------

So loop-mq can improve throughput for both read and randread, meantime,
performance of write and randwrite isn't hurted basically.

Another benefit is that loop driver code gets simplified
much after blk-mq conversion, and the patch can be thought as
cleanup too.

loop: fix crash when using unassigned loop device

When the loop module is loaded, it creates 8 loop devices /dev/loop[0-7].
The devices have no request routine and thus, when they are used without
being assigned, a crash happens.

For example, these commands cause crash (assuming there are no used loop
devices):

block: fix a probe argument to blk_register_region

The probe function is supposed to return NULL on failure (as we can see in
kobj_lookup: kobj = probe(dev, index, data); ... if (kobj) return kobj;

However, in loop and brd, it returns negative error from ERR_PTR.

This causes a crash if we simulate disk allocation failure and run
less -f /dev/loop0 because the negative number is interpreted as a pointer:

loop: fix crash if blk_alloc_queue fails

If blk_alloc_queue fails, loop_add cleans up, but it doesn't clean up the
identifier allocated with idr_alloc. That causes crash on module unload in
idr_for_each(&loop_index_idr, &loop_exit_cb, NULL); where we attempt to
remove non-existed device with that id.

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those

Revert "loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device"

This reverts commit 8761a3dc1f07b163414e2215a2cadbb4cfe2a107.

There are situations where the destruction path is called
with the bdev->bd_mutex already held, which then deadlocks in
loop_clr_fd(). The normal partition cleanup does a trylock()
on the mutex, but it'd be nice to have a more bullet proof
method in loop. So punt this more involved fix to the next
merge window, and just back out this buggy fix for now.

loop: prevent bdev freeing while device in use

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".

But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:

To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().

The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:

dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
while [ true ]; do
losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
losetup -d /dev/loop0
done

[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
device we'll get ENXIO.

loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device

Any partitions added by user space to the loop device were being
left in place after detaching the loop device. This was because
the detach path issued a BLKRRPART to clean up partitions if
LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN was set, meaning that the partitions were auto
scanned on attach. Replace this BLKRRPART with code that
unconditionally cleans up partitions on detach instead.

loopdev: update block device size in loop_set_status()

Loop device driver sometimes fails to impose the size limit on the
device. Keep issuing following two commands:

losetup --offset 7517244416 --sizelimit 3224971264 /dev/loop0 backed_file
blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0

blockdev reports file size instead of sizelimit several out of 100 times.

The problems are:

- losetup set up the device in two ioctl:
LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64.

- LOOP_SET_STATUS64 only update size of gendisk.

Block device size will be updated lazily when device comes to use. If udev
rushes in between the two ioctl, it will bring in a block device whose
size is backing file size. If the device is not released after
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl, blockdev will not see the updated size.

Update block size in LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl.

loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list

Currently there is not limitation of number of requests in the loop bio
list. This can lead into some nasty situations when the caller spawns
tons of bio requests taking huge amount of memory. This is even more
obvious with discard where blkdev_issue_discard() will submit all bios
for the range and wait for them to finish afterwards. On really big loop
devices and slow backing file system this can lead to OOM situation as
reported by Dave Chinner.

With this patch we will wait in loop_make_request() if the number of
bios in the loop bio list would exceed 'nr_congestion_on'.
We'll wake up the process as we process the bios form the list. Some
threshold hysteresis is in place to avoid high frequency oscillation.

loop: Make explicit loop device destruction lazy

xfstests has always had random failures of tests due to loop devices
failing to be torn down and hence leaving filesytems that cannot be
unmounted. This causes test runs to immediately stop.

Over the past 6 or 7 years we've added hacks like explicit unmount
-d commands for loop mounts, losetup -d after unmount -d fails, etc,
but still the problems persist. Recently, the frequency of loop
related failures increased again to the point that xfstests 259 will
reliably fail with a stray loop device that was not torn down.

That is despite the fact the test is above as simple as it gets -
loop 5 or 6 times running mkfs.xfs with different paramters:

lofile=$(losetup -f)
losetup $lofile "$testfile"
"$MKFS_XFS_PROG" -b size=512 $lofile >/dev/null || echo "mkfs failed!"
sync
losetup -d $lofile

And losteup -d $lofile is failing with EBUSY on 1-3 of these loops
every time the test is run.

Turns out that blkid is running simultaneously with losetup -d, and
so it sees an elevated reference count and returns EBUSY. But why
is blkid running? It's obvious, isn't it? udev has decided to try
and find out what is on the block device as a result of a creation
notification. And it is racing with mkfs, so might still be scanning
the device when mkfs finishes and we try to tear it down.

So, make losetup -d force autoremove behaviour. That is, when the
last reference goes away, tear down the device. xfstests wants it
*gone*, not causing random teardown failures when we know that all
the operations the tests have specifically run on the device have
completed and are no longer referencing the loop device.

loop: remove the incorrect write_begin/write_end shortcut

Currently the loop device tries to call directly into write_begin/write_end
instead of going through ->write if it can. This is a fairly nasty shortcut
as write_begin and write_end are only callbacks for the generic write code
and expect to be called with filesystem specific locks held.

This code currently causes various issues for clustered filesystems as it
doesn't take the required cluster locks, and it also causes issues for XFS
as it doesn't properly lock against the swapext ioctl as called by the
defragmentation tools. This in case causes data corruption if
defragmentation hits a busy loop device in the wrong time window, as
reported by RH QA.

The reason why we have this shortcut is that it saves a data copy when
doing a transformation on the loop device, which is the technical term
for using cryptoloop (or an XOR transformation). Given that cryptoloop
has been deprecated in favour of dm-crypt my opinion is that we should
simply drop this shortcut instead of finding complicated ways to to
introduce a formal interface for this shortcut.

loop: add discard support for loop devices

This commit adds discard support for loop devices. Discard is usually
supported by SSD and thinly provisioned devices as a method for
reclaiming unused space. This is no different than trying to reclaim
back space which is not used by the file system on the image, but it
still occupies space on the host file system.

We can do the reclamation on file system which does support hole
punching. So when discard request gets to the loop driver we can
translate that to punch a hole to the underlying file, hence reclaim
the free space.

This is very useful for trimming down the size of the image to only what
is really used by the file system on that image. Fstrim may be used for
that purpose.

It has been tested on ext4, xfs and btrfs with the image file systems
ext4, ext3, xfs and btrfs. ext4, or ext6 image on ext4 file system has
some problems but it seems that ext4 punch hole implementation is
somewhat flawed and it is unrelated to this commit.

Also this is a very good method of validating file systems punch hole
implementation.

Note that when encryption is used, discard support is disabled, because
using it might leak some information useful for possible attacker.

loop: add management interface for on-demand device allocation

Loop devices today have a fixed pre-allocated number of usually 8.
The number can only be changed at module init time. To find a free
device to use, /dev/loop%i needs to be scanned, and all devices need
to be opened until a free one is possibly found.

This adds a new /dev/loop-control device node, that allows to
dynamically find or allocate a free device, and to add and remove loop
devices from the running system:
LOOP_CTL_ADD adds a specific device. Arg is the number
of the device. It returns the device i or a negative
error code.

LOOP_CTL_REMOVE removes a specific device, Arg is the
number the device. It returns the device i or a negative
error code.

LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE finds the next unbound device or allocates
a new one. No arg is given. It returns the device i or a
negative error code.

The loop kernel module gets automatically loaded when
/dev/loop-control is accessed the first time. The alias
specified in the module, instructs udev to create this
'dead' device node, even when the module is not loaded.

Example:
cfd = open("/dev/loop-control", O_RDWR);

# add a new specific loop device
err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_ADD, devnr);

# remove a specific loop device
err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, devnr);

# find or allocate a free loop device to use
devnr = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE);

sprintf(loopname, "/dev/loop%i", devnr);
ffd = open("backing-file", O_RDWR);
lfd = open(loopname, O_RDWR);
err = ioctl(lfd, LOOP_SET_FD, ffd);

loop: export module parameters

Export 'max_loop' and 'max_part' parameters to sysfs so user can know
that how many devices are allowed and how many partitions are supported.

If 'max_loop' is 0, there is no restriction on the number of loop devices.
User can create/use the devices as many as minor numbers available. If
'max_part' is 0, it means simply the device doesn't support partitioning.

Also note that 'max_part' can be adjusted to power of 2 minus 1 form if
needed. User should check this value after the module loading if he/she
want to use that number correctly (i.e. fdisk, mknod, etc.).

loop: handle on-demand devices correctly

When finding or allocating a loop device, loop_probe() did not take
partition numbers into account so that it can result to a different
device. Consider following example:

$ sudo modprobe loop max_part=15

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop0

brw-r--r-- 1 root root 7, 128 2011-05-24 22:17 /dev/loop8

After this patch, /dev/loop8 - instead of /dev/loop128 - was
accessed correctly.

In addition, 'range' passed to blk_register_region() should
include all range of dev_t that LOOP_MAJOR can address. It does
not need to be limited by partition numbers unless 'max_loop'
param was specified.

loop: limit 'max_part' module param to DISK_MAX_PARTS

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a loop block device can have. However if a user specifies very
large value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number
and can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid
device nodes in some cases).

On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu,
it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive:

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA

-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().

blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.

All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

loop: add some basic read-only sysfs attributes

Create /sys/block/loopX/loop directory and provide these attributes:
- backing_file
- autoclear
- offset
- sizelimit

This loop directory is present only if loop device is configured.

To be used in util-linux-ng (and possibly elsewhere like udev rules)
where code need to get loop attributes from kernel (and not store
duplicate info in userspace).

Moreover loop ioctls are not even able to provide full backing
file info because of buffer limits.

BLOCK: fix bio.bi_rw handling

Return of the bi_rw tests is no longer bool after commit 74450be1. But
results of such tests are stored in bools. This doesn't fit in there
for some compilers (gcc 4.5 here), so either use !! magic to get real
bools or use ulong where the result is assigned somewhere.

block: push down BKL into .open and .release

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

generate "change" uevent for loop device

Recent udev versions probe loop devices for filesystems meaning that
the /dev/disk hierarchy may contain useful entries such as

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 11 13:41 /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live -> ../../loop0

Unfortunately, no "change" uevent is generated when the loop device is
detached so the symlink persists. Additionally, no "change" uevent is
guaranteed to be generated when attaching an fd or changing capacity.
For example, user space could open the loop device O_RDONLY (in fact,
recent util-linux-ng does this) so udev's OPTIONS+="watch" machinery may
not trigger the "change" uevent.

This patch ensures that the "change" uevent is generated in all of
these cases. As a result, the /dev/disk hierarchy works as expected
for loop devices.

# 5a0e3ad6 24-Mar-2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

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.

loop: add ioctl to resize a loop device

Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly.

One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already
mounted: You can easily enlarge the file (append some bytes) and then call
ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); The loop driver will learn about the
new size and you can use xfs_growfs later on, which will allow you to use
full capacity of the loop file without the need to unmount.

loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()

With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled

$ losetup /dev/loop0 file
$ losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0

$ losetup -d /dev/loop1
$ losetup -d /dev/loop0

triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

I think this warning is a false positive.

Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of
a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the
file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a
circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not
possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock.

So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep
not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be
to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some
other real bugs.

@@ -1164,7 +1164,7 @@ static int lo_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode,
struct loop_device *lo = bdev->bd_disk->private_data;

+ mutex_lock_nested(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex, 1);
switch (cmd) {
case LOOP_SET_FD:
err = loop_set_fd(lo, mode, bdev, arg);

Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be
a better solution.

Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex
held, so no lockdep annotation is required.

If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the

loop: support barrier writes

Honour barrier requests in the loop back block device driver.
In case of barrier bios, flush the backing file once before processing the
barrier and once after to guarantee ordering. In case of filesystems that
does not support fsync, barrier bios would be failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.

loop: Do not call loop_unplug for not configured loop device.

In loop_unplug() function is expected that mapping is set
and lo->lo_backing_file is not NULL.

Unfortunately loop_set_fd() set the request queue unplug function,
but loop_clr_fd() doesn't clear that.

Loop device allows open of non-configured loop in some situations.
If the unplug on request queue is called, loop module oopses because
of missing lo_backing_file.

loop: Flush possible running bios when loop device is released.

When there are still queued bios and reference count
drops to zero, loop device must flush all queued bios.

Otherwise it can lead to situation that caller
closes the device, but some bios are still running
and endio() function call later OOpses when uses
unallocated mempool.

This happens for example when running dm-crypt over loop,
here is typical oops backtrace:

[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 */

loop: manage partitions in disk image

This patch allows to use loop device with partitionned disk image.

Original behavior of loop is not modified.

A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be
able to manage per loop device. This parameter is "max_part".

For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do:
# modprobe loop max_part=63
# ls -l /dev/loop?*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7

And to attach a raw partitionned disk image, the original losetup is used:

# losetup -f etch.img
# ls -l /dev/loop?*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 1 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p1

# losetup -d /dev/loop0

Of course, the same behavior can be done using kpartx on a loop device,
but modifying loop avoids to stack several layers of block device (loop +
device mapper), this is a very light modification (40% of modifications
are to manage the new parameter).

Allow auto-destruction of loop devices

This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are
closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct.

In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with
losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them.

In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'. That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which
doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which
means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the
'stateless' folks get happier... and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.

The mount(8) side of that is at

Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

fs: convert core functions to zero_user_page

It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset(). There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.

This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones. Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call. The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.

This patch rid the limit entirely and make loop device and associated block
queue instantiation on demand. With on-demand instantiation, it also gives
the benefit of not wasting memory if these devices are not in use (compare
to current implementation that always create 8 loop devices), a net
improvement in both areas. This version is both tested with creation of
large number of loop devices and is compatible with existing losetup/mount

[PATCH] kthread: convert loop.c to kthread

Convert loop.c from the deprecated kernel_thread to kthread. This patch
simplifies the code quite a bit and passes similar testing to the previous
submission on both emulated x86 and s390.

Changes since last submission:
switched to using a rather simple loop based on
wait_event_interruptible.

[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

Revert "[PATCH] kthread: update loop.c to use kthread"

This reverts commit c7b2eff059fcc2d1b7085ee3d84b79fd657a537b.

Hugh Dickins explains:

"It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with
EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch
loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive
more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs
mounted on /tst):

j=0
cp /dev/zero /tst
while :
do
let j=j+1
echo "Doing pass $j"
losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero
mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt
umount /mnt
losetup -d /dev/loop0
done

it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).

I think the original lo_done completion was more subtle and safe
than the kthread conversion has allowed for."

[PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not called

While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.

It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl. This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.

The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.

This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

[PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE

readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to
understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of
writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that
the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again
with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in
its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't
return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.

WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are
made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics.

[PATCH] optimise loop driver a bit

Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot. Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic
requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is
nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).

Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K
block size, 4K page size). System is 2 socket Xeon with HT (4 thread).

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
