drbd: add missing part_round_stats to _drbd_start_io_acct

2013-02-06T04:33:56Z

commit 72585d2428fa3a0daab02ebad1f41e5ef517dbaa upstream. Without this, iostat frequently sees bogus svctime and >= 100% "utilization". Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

virtio-blk: Don't free ida when disk is in use

2013-02-06T04:33:19Z

commit f4953fe6c4aeada2d5cafd78aa97587a46d2d8f9 upstream. When a file system is mounted on a virtio-blk disk, we then remove it and then reattach it, the reattached disk gets the same disk name and ids as the hot removed one. This leads to very nasty effects - mostly rendering the newly attached device completely unusable. Trying what happens when I do the same thing with a USB device, I saw that the sd node simply doesn't get free'd when a device gets forcefully removed. Imitate the same behavior for vd devices. This way broken vd devices simply are never free'd and newly attached ones keep working just fine. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

aoe: do not call bdi_init after blk_alloc_queue

2013-01-16T01:13:29Z

commit 0a41409c518083133e79015092585d68915865be upstream. blk_alloc_queue has already done a bdi_init, so do not bdi_init again in aoeblk_gdalloc. The extra call causes list corruption in the per-CPU backing dev info stats lists. Affected users see console WARNINGs about list_del corruption on percpu_counter_destroy when doing "rmmod aoe" or "aoeflush -a" when AoE targets have been detected and initialized by the system. The patch below applies to v3.6.11, with its v47 aoe driver. It is expected to apply to all currently maintained stable kernels except 3.7.y. A related but different fix has been posted for 3.7.y.

floppy: properly handle failure on add_disk loop

2012-11-16T16:47:00Z

commit d60e7ec18c3fb2cbf90969ccd42889eb2d03aef9 upstream. On floppy initialization, if something failed inside the loop we call add_disk, there was no cleanup of previous iterations in the error handling.

floppy: do put_disk on current dr if blk_init_queue fails

2012-11-16T16:46:59Z

commit 238ab78469c6ab7845b43d5061cd3c92331b2452 upstream. If blk_init_queue fails, we do not call put_disk on the current dr (dr is decremented first in the error handling loop).

x86: Remove the ancient and deprecated disable_hlt() and enable_hlt() facility

2012-11-16T16:46:46Z

commit f6365201d8a21fb347260f89d6e9b3e718d63c70 upstream. The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this.

aoe: assert AoE packets marked as requiring no checksum

2012-10-10T02:31:34Z

[ Upstream commit 8babe8cc6570ed896b7b596337eb8fe730c3ff45 ] In order for the network layer to see that AoE requires no checksumming in a generic way, the packets must be marked as requiring no checksum, so we make this requirement explicit with the assertion.

cciss: fix handling of protocol error

2012-10-10T02:30:48Z

commit 2453f5f992717251cfadab6184fbb3ec2f2e8b40 upstream. If a command completes with a status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR, this information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not dropped on the floor. Unlike a similar bug in the hpsa driver, this bug only affects tape drives and CD and DVD ROM drives in the cciss driver, and to induce it, you have to disconnect (or damage) a cable, so it is not a very likely scenario (which would explain why the bug has gone undetected for the last 10 years.)

nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown

2012-10-10T02:30:46Z

commit fded4e090c60100d709318896c79816d68d5b47d upstream. Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server, network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs. There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to nbd's internal waiting_queue. When this happens, those requests are never completed or freed. The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being cleared.

virtio-blk: Reset device after blk_cleanup_queue()

2012-09-12T02:37:33Z

commit 483001c765af6892b3fc3726576cb42f17d1d6b5 upstream. blk_cleanup_queue() will call blk_drian_queue() to drain all the requests before queue DEAD marking. If we reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() the drain would fail. 1) if the queue is stopped in do_virtblk_request() because device is full, the q->request_fn() will not be called. blk_drain_queue() { while(true) { ... if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) __blk_run_queue(q) { if (queue is not stoped) q->request_fn() } ... } } Do no reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() gives the chance to start the queue in interrupt handler blk_done(). 2) In commit b79d866c8b7014a51f611a64c40546109beaf24a, We abort requests dispatched to driver before blk_cleanup_queue(). There is a race if requests are dispatched to driver after the abort and before the queue DEAD mark. To fix this, instead of aborting the requests explicitly, we can just reset the device after after blk_cleanup_queue so that the device can complete all the requests before queue DEAD marking in the drain process.
