virtio_blk: fix race between start and stop queue

2014-05-27T14:41:10Z

When there isn't enough vring descriptor for adding to vq, blk-mq will be put as stopped state until some of pending descriptors are completed & freed. Unfortunately, the vq's interrupt may come just before blk-mq's BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED flag is set, so the blk-mq will still be kept as stopped even though lots of descriptors are completed and freed in the interrupt handler. The worst case is that all pending descriptors are freed in the interrupt handler, and the queue is kept as stopped forever. This patch fixes the problem by starting/stopping blk-mq with holding vq_lock.

floppy: don't write kernel-only members to FDRAWCMD ioctl output

2014-05-05T14:46:56Z

Do not leak kernel-only floppy_raw_cmd structure members to userspace. This includes the linked-list pointer and the pointer to the allocated DMA space. Signed-off-by: Matthew Daley Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

floppy: ignore kernel-only members in FDRAWCMD ioctl input

2014-05-05T14:46:55Z

Always clear out these floppy_raw_cmd struct members after copying the entire structure from userspace so that the in-kernel version is always valid and never left in an interdeterminate state. Signed-off-by: Matthew Daley Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro: "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this window. Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into mainline and with some I want more testing. This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to usual beating. BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false positive, might be a real regression..." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits) missing bits of "splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses" cifs: fix the race in cifs_writev() ceph_sync_{,direct_}write: fix an oops on ceph_osdc_new_request() failure kill generic_file_buffered_write() ocfs2_file_aio_write(): switch to generic_perform_write() ceph_aio_write(): switch to generic_perform_write() xfs_file_buffered_aio_write(): switch to generic_perform_write() export generic_perform_write(), start getting rid of generic_file_buffer_write() generic_file_direct_write(): get rid of ppos argument btrfs_file_aio_write(): get rid of ppos kill the 5th argument of generic_file_buffered_write() kill the 4th argument of __generic_file_aio_write() lustre: don't open-code kernel_recvmsg() ocfs2: don't open-code kernel_recvmsg() drbd: don't open-code kernel_recvmsg() constify blk_rq_map_user_iov() and friends lustre: switch to kernel_sendmsg() ocfs2: don't open-code kernel_sendmsg() take iov_iter stuff to mm/iov_iter.c process_vm_access: tidy up a bit ...

NVMe: Retry failed commands with non-fatal errors

2014-04-10T21:11:59Z

For commands returned with failed status, queue these for resubmission and continue retrying them until success or for a limited amount of time. The final timeout was arbitrarily chosen so requests can't be retried indefinitely. Since these are requeued on the nvmeq that submitted the command, the callbacks have to take an nvmeq instead of an nvme_dev as a parameter so that we can use the locked queue to append the iod to retry later. The nvme_iod conviently can be used to track how long we've been trying to successfully complete an iod request. The nvme_iod also provides the nvme prp dma mappings, so I had to move a few things around so we can keep those mappings.
