lockref: use cmpxchg64 explicitly for lockless updates

2013-09-20T16:04:28Z

The cmpxchg() function tends not to support 64-bit arguments on 32-bit architectures. This could be either due to use of unsigned long arguments (like on ARM) or lack of instruction support (cmpxchgq on x86). However, these architectures may implement a specific cmpxchg64() function to provide 64-bit cmpxchg support instead. Since the lockref code requires a 64-bit cmpxchg and relies on the architecture selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, move to using cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg and allow 32-bit architectures to make use of the lockless lockref implementation.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "Lots of activity again this round for I/O performance optimizations (per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for vhost + iscsi/target), and the addition of new fabric independent features to target-core (COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY). The main highlights include: - Support for iscsi-target login multiplexing across individual network portals - Generic Per-cpu IDA logic (kent + akpm + clameter) - Conversion of vhost to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for descriptors, SGLs and userspace page pointer list - Conversion of iscsi-target + iser-target to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for descriptors - Add support for generic COMPARE_AND_WRITE (AtomicTestandSet) emulation for virtual backend drivers - Add support for generic EXTENDED_COPY (CopyOffload) emulation for virtual backend drivers. - Add support for fast memory registration mode to iser-target (Vu) The patches to add COMPARE_AND_WRITE and EXTENDED_COPY support are of particular significance, which make us the first and only open source target to support the full set of VAAI primitives.

crypto: crct10dif - Add fallback for broken initrds

2013-09-12T05:31:34Z

Unfortunately, even with a softdep some distros fail to include the necessary modules in the initrd. Therefore this patch adds a fallback path to restore existing behaviour where we cannot load the new crypto crct10dif algorithm. In order to do this, the underlying crct10dif has been split out from the crypto implementation so that it can be used on the fallback path. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

lz4: fix compression/decompression signedness mismatch

2013-09-11T22:59:45Z

LZ4 compression and decompression functions require different in signedness input/output parameters: unsigned char for compression and signed char for decompression.

lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt

2013-09-11T22:59:36Z

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.
