2014-03-11block: Don't access request after it might be freedRoland Dreier
commit 893d290f1d7496db97c9471bc352ad4a11dc8a25 upstream. After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed immediately. Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone. Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary. This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated is so small.

2014-02-22block: add cond_resched() to potentially long running ioctl discard loopJens Axboe
commit c8123f8c9cb517403b51aa41c3c46ff5e10b2c17 upstream. When mkfs issues a full device discard and the device only supports discards of a smallish size, we can loop in blkdev_issue_discard() for a long time. If preempt isn't enabled, this can turn into a softlock situation and the kernel will start complaining. Add an explicit cond_resched() at the end of the loop to avoid that.

A timer is started for each request put on the device's queue (see blk_start_request->blk_add_timer). If the request does not complete before the timer expires, the timer handler (blk_rq_timed_out_timer) will mark the request complete atomically: static inline int blk_mark_rq_complete(struct request *rq) { return test_and_set_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &rq->atomic_flags); } and then call blk_rq_timed_out. The latter function will call scsi_times_out, which will return one of BLK_EH_HANDLED, BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER or BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED. If BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER is returned, blk_clear_rq_complete is called, and blk_add_timer is again called to simply wait longer for the request to complete. Now, if the request happens to complete while this is going on, what happens? Given that we know the completion handler will bail if it finds the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE bit set, we need to focus on the completion handler running after that bit is cleared. So, from the above paragraph, after the call to blk_clear_rq_complete. If the completion sets REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE before the BUG_ON in blk_add_timer, we go boom there (I haven't seen this in the cores). Next, if we get the completion before the call to list_add_tail, then the timer will eventually fire for an old req, which may either be freed or reallocated (there is evidence that this might be the case). Finally, if the completion comes in *after* the addition to the timeout list, I think it's harmless. The request will be removed from the timeout list, req_atom_complete will be set, and all will be well. This will only actually explain the coredumps *IF* the request structure was freed, reallocated *and* queued before the error handler thread had a chance to process it. That is possible, but it may make sense to keep digging for another race. I think that if this is what was happening, we would see other instances of this problem showing up as null pointer or garbage pointer dereferences, for example when the request structure was not re-used. It looks like we actually do run into that situation in other reports. This patch moves the BUG_ON(test_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &req->atomic_flags)); from blk_add_timer to the only caller that could trip over it (blk_start_request). It then inverts the calls to blk_clear_rq_complete and blk_add_timer in blk_rq_timed_out to address the race. I've boot tested this patch, but nothing more.

commit ffc8b30866879ed9ba62bd0a86fecdbd51cd3d19 upstream. Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be interpreted as format strings. It seems that only md allows arbitrary strings to be used for disk names, but this could allow for a local memory corruption from uid 0 into ring 0.

2012-12-03scsi: Silence unnecessary warnings about ioctl to partitionJan Kara
commit 6d9359280753d2955f86d6411047516a9431eb51 upstream. Sometimes, warnings about ioctls to partition happen often enough that they form majority of the warnings in the kernel log and users complain. In some cases warnings are about ioctls such as SG_IO so it's not good to get rid of the warnings completely as they can ease debugging of userspace problems when ioctl is refused. Since I have seen warnings from lots of commands, including some proprietary userspace applications, I don't think disallowing the ioctls for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will happen in the near future if ever. So lets just stop warning for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO for which ioctl is allowed.

After a few hectic block IO core changes for 3.3 and 3.2, I'm quite happy with a slow round. Really minor stuff in here, the only real functional change is making the auto-unplug threshold a per-queue entity. The threshold is set so that it's low enough that we don't hold off IO for too long, but still big enough to get a nice benefit from the batched insert (and hence queue lock cost reduction).

2012-04-06block: make auto block plug flush threshold per-disk basedShaohua Li
We do auto block plug flush to reduce latency, the threshold is 16 requests. This works well if the task is accessing one or two drives. The problem is if the task is accessing a raid 0 device and the raid disk number is big, say 8 or 16, 16/8 = 2 or 16/16=1, we will have heavy lock contention. This patch makes the threshold per-disk based. The latency should be still ok accessing one or two drives. The setup with application accessing a lot of drives in the meantime uaually is big machine, avoiding lock contention is more important, because any contention will actually increase latency.

In cfq, when we calculate a time slice for a process(or a cfqq to be precise), we have to consider the cfq_target_latency so that all the sync request have an estimated latency(300ms) and it is controlled by cfq_target_latency. But in some hadoop test, we have found that if there are many processes doing sequential read(24 for example), the throughput is bad because every process can only work for about 25ms and the cfqq is switched. That leads to a higher disk seek. We can achive the good throughput by setting low_latency=0, but then some read's latency is too much for the application. So this patch makes cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs so that we can tune it and find some magic number which is not bad for both the throughput and the read latency.

2012-03-02Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event pollingAlan Stern
This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition. Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration. The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant, freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided into fragments, each with its own VBLK header. Our LDM implementation generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these fragments must be assembled before further processing. Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the header is subtracted twice from each fragment. Also the total length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <anton@tuxera.com>
2012-02-15block: exit_io_context() should call elevator_exit_icq_fn()Tejun Heo
While updating locking, b2efa05265 "block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediately" moved elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation from exit_io_context() to the final ioc put. While this doesn't cause catastrophic failure, it effectively removes task exit notification to elevator and cause noticeable IO performance degradation with CFQ. On task exit, CFQ used to immediately expire the slice if it was being used by the exiting task as no more IO would be issued by the task; however, after b2efa05265, the notification is lost and disk could sit idle needlessly, leading to noticeable IO performance degradation for certain workloads. This patch renames ioc_exit_icq() to ioc_destroy_icq(), separates elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation into ioc_exit_icq() and invokes it from exit_io_context(). ICQ_EXITED flag is added to avoid invoking the callback more than once for the same icq. Walking icq_list from ioc side and invoking elevator callback requires reverse double locking. This may be better implemented using RCU; unfortunately, using RCU isn't trivial. e.g. RCU protection would need to cover request_queue and queue_lock switch on cleanup makes grabbing queue_lock from RCU unsafe. Reverse double locking should do, at least for now.

2012-02-08block: don't call elevator callbacks for plug mergesTejun Heo
Plug merge calls two elevator callbacks outside queue lock - elevator_allow_merge_fn() and elevator_bio_merged_fn(). Although attempt_plug_merge() suggests that elevator is guaranteed to be there through the existing request on the plug list, nothing prevents plug merge from calling into dying or initializing elevator. For regular merges, bypass ensures elvpriv count to reach zero, which in turn prevents merges as all !ELVPRIV requests get REQ_SOFTBARRIER from forced back insertion. Plug merge doesn't check ELVPRIV, and, as the requests haven't gone through elevator insertion yet, it doesn't have SOFTBARRIER set allowing merges on a bypassed queue. This, for example, leads to the following crash during elevator switch.

functions blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility test. blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously. elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls elv_iosched_allow_merge(). elv_try_merge() is removed and the two callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by blk_try_merge(). While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return bool. This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any behavior change.

put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.

2012-02-02cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacksLi Zefan
The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it belongs to. Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files(). So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size is minimal. 16 files changed, 113 insertions(+), 162 deletions(-) text data bss dec hex filename 5486240 656987 7039960 13183187 c928d3 vmlinux.o.orig 5486170 656987 7039960 13183117 c9288d vmlinux.o Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2012-01-14block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devicesPaolo Bonzini
Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user needs to be granted access only to part of the disk. This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls; others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred. Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs. In principle, this restriction should include programs running with CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the ioctls. Their actions will still be logged. This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

2012-01-11block: Introduce blk_set_stacking_limits functionMartin K. Petersen
Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver itself. This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking function. Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more conservative values that we used to manually set in blk_queue_make_request().
