Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "A small collection of fixes for the current series. It contains: - A fix for a use-after-free of a request in blk-mq. From Ming Lei - A fix for a blk-mq bug that could attempt to dereference a NULL rq if allocation failed - Two xen-blkfront small fixes - Cleanup of submit_bio_wait() type uses in the kernel, unifying that. From Kent - A fix for 32-bit blkg_rwstat reading. I apologize for this one looking mangled in the shortlog, it's entirely my fault for missing an empty line between the description and body of the text" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: blk-mq: fix use-after-free of request blk-mq: fix dereference of rq->mq_ctx if allocation fails block: xen-blkfront: Fix possible NULL ptr dereference xen-blkfront: Silence pfn maybe-uninitialized warning block: submit_bio_wait() conversions Update of blkg_stat and blkg_rwstat may happen in bh context

block: xen-blkfront: Fix possible NULL ptr dereference

2013-11-26T16:24:01Z

In the blkif_release function the bdget_disk() call might returns a NULL ptr which might be dereferenced on bdev->bd_openers checking Signed-off-by: Felipe Pena Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk [v2: Added WARN per Roger's suggestion]

xen-blkfront: Silence pfn maybe-uninitialized warning

2013-11-26T16:23:53Z

pfn cannot actually be used unless (!info->feature_persistent), nor is pfn accessed in get_grant() unless (!info->feature_persistent), but silence this warning anyway. gcc-4.8 drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c: In function 'do_blkif_request': drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:508:20: warning: 'pfn' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] gnt_list_entry = get_grant(&gref_head, pfn, info); ^ drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c:492:19: note: 'pfn' was declared here unsigned long pfn; Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Acked-by: Roger Pau Monné

virtio-blk: virtqueue_kick() must be ordered with other virtqueue operations

2013-11-20T02:00:45Z

It isn't safe to call it without holding the vblk->vq_lock. Reported-by: Dave Chinner Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Fixed another condition of virtqueue_kick() not holding the lock. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull second round of block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "As mentioned in the original pull request, the bcache bits were pulled because of their dependency on the immutable bio vecs. Kent re-did this part and resubmitted it, so here's the 2nd round of (mostly) driver updates for 3.13. It contains: - The bcache work from Kent. - Conversion of virtio-blk to blk-mq. This removes the bio and request path, and substitutes with the blk-mq path instead. The end result almost 200 deleted lines. Patch is acked by Asias and Christoph, who both did a bunch of testing. - A removal of bootmem.h include from Grygorii Strashko, part of a larger series of his killing the dependency on that header file. - Removal of __cpuinit from blk-mq from Paul Gortmaker" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (56 commits) virtio_blk: blk-mq support blk-mq: remove newly added instances of __cpuinit bcache: defensively handle format strings bcache: Bypass torture test bcache: Delete some slower inline asm bcache: Use ida for bcache block dev minor bcache: Fix sysfs splat on shutdown with flash only devs bcache: Better full stripe scanning bcache: Have btree_split() insert into parent directly bcache: Move spinlock into struct time_stats bcache: Kill sequential_merge option bcache: Kill bch_next_recurse_key() bcache: Avoid deadlocking in garbage collection bcache: Incremental gc bcache: Add make_btree_freeing_key() bcache: Add btree_node_write_sync() bcache: PRECEDING_KEY() bcache: bch_(btree|extent)_ptr_invalid() bcache: Don't bother with bucket refcount for btree node allocations bcache: Debug code improvements ...
