2011-10-17loop: remove the incorrect write_begin/write_end shortcutChristoph Hellwig
Currently the loop device tries to call directly into write_begin/write_end instead of going through ->write if it can. This is a fairly nasty shortcut as write_begin and write_end are only callbacks for the generic write code and expect to be called with filesystem specific locks held. This code currently causes various issues for clustered filesystems as it doesn't take the required cluster locks, and it also causes issues for XFS as it doesn't properly lock against the swapext ioctl as called by the defragmentation tools. This in case causes data corruption if defragmentation hits a busy loop device in the wrong time window, as reported by RH QA. The reason why we have this shortcut is that it saves a data copy when doing a transformation on the loop device, which is the technical term for using cryptoloop (or an XOR transformation). Given that cryptoloop has been deprecated in favour of dm-crypt my opinion is that we should simply drop this shortcut instead of finding complicated ways to to introduce a formal interface for this shortcut.

2011-09-12block: remove support for bio remapping from ->make_requestChristoph Hellwig
There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in __generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in generic_make_request handle it. Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and returned non-zero values for errors.

2011-08-23loop: always allow userspace partitions and optionally support automatic ↵Kay Sievers
scanning Automatic partition scanning can be requested individually per loop device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN. By default, no partition tables are scanned. Userspace can now always add and remove partitions from all loop devices, regardless if the in-kernel partition scanner is enabled or not. The needed partition minor numbers are allocated from the extended minors space, the main loop device numbers will continue to match the loop minors, regardless of the number of partitions used. # grep . /sys/class/block/loop1/loop/* /sys/block/loop1/loop/autoclear:0 /sys/block/loop1/loop/backing_file:/home/kay/data/stuff/part.img /sys/block/loop1/loop/offset:0 /sys/block/loop1/loop/partscan:1 /sys/block/loop1/loop/sizelimit:0 # ls -l /dev/loop* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 Aug 14 20:22 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 1 Aug 14 20:23 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 0 Aug 14 20:23 /dev/loop1p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 1 Aug 14 20:23 /dev/loop1p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 99 Aug 14 20:23 /dev/loop99 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 2 Aug 14 20:23 /dev/loop99p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 3 Aug 14 20:23 /dev/loop99p2 crw------T 1 root root 10, 237 Aug 14 20:22 /dev/loop-control Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org> Acked-By: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-08-19loop: add discard support for loop devicesLukas Czerner
This commit adds discard support for loop devices. Discard is usually supported by SSD and thinly provisioned devices as a method for reclaiming unused space. This is no different than trying to reclaim back space which is not used by the file system on the image, but it still occupies space on the host file system. We can do the reclamation on file system which does support hole punching. So when discard request gets to the loop driver we can translate that to punch a hole to the underlying file, hence reclaim the free space. This is very useful for trimming down the size of the image to only what is really used by the file system on that image. Fstrim may be used for that purpose. It has been tested on ext4, xfs and btrfs with the image file systems ext4, ext3, xfs and btrfs. ext4, or ext6 image on ext4 file system has some problems but it seems that ext4 punch hole implementation is somewhat flawed and it is unrelated to this commit. Also this is a very good method of validating file systems punch hole implementation. Note that when encryption is used, discard support is disabled, because using it might leak some information useful for possible attacker.

2011-07-31loop: fix deadlock when sysfs and LOOP_CLR_FD race against each otherKay Sievers

devices Instead of unconditionally creating a fixed number of dead loop devices which need to be investigated by storage handling services, even when they are never used, we allow distros start with 0 loop devices and have losetup(8) and similar switch to the dynamic /dev/loop-control interface instead of searching /dev/loop%i for free devices.

2011-07-31loop: add management interface for on-demand device allocationKay Sievers
Loop devices today have a fixed pre-allocated number of usually 8. The number can only be changed at module init time. To find a free device to use, /dev/loop%i needs to be scanned, and all devices need to be opened until a free one is possibly found. This adds a new /dev/loop-control device node, that allows to dynamically find or allocate a free device, and to add and remove loop devices from the running system: LOOP_CTL_ADD adds a specific device. Arg is the number of the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_REMOVE removes a specific device, Arg is the number the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE finds the next unbound device or allocates a new one. No arg is given. It returns the device i or a negative error code. The loop kernel module gets automatically loaded when /dev/loop-control is accessed the first time. The alias specified in the module, instructs udev to create this 'dead' device node, even when the module is not loaded. Example: cfd = open("/dev/loop-control", O_RDWR); # add a new specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_ADD, devnr); # remove a specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, devnr); # find or allocate a free loop device to use devnr = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE); sprintf(loopname, "/dev/loop%i", devnr); ffd = open("backing-file", O_RDWR); lfd = open(loopname, O_RDWR); err = ioctl(lfd, LOOP_SET_FD, ffd); Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-05-27loop: export module parametersNamhyung Kim
Export 'max_loop' and 'max_part' parameters to sysfs so user can know that how many devices are allowed and how many partitions are supported. If 'max_loop' is 0, there is no restriction on the number of loop devices. User can create/use the devices as many as minor numbers available. If 'max_part' is 0, it means simply the device doesn't support partitioning. Also note that 'max_part' can be adjusted to power of 2 minus 1 form if needed. User should check this value after the module loading if he/she want to use that number correctly (i.e. fdisk, mknod, etc.).

2011-05-24loop: limit 'max_part' module param to DISK_MAX_PARTSNamhyung Kim
The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition a loop block device can have. However if a user specifies very large value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid device nodes in some cases). On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu, it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive: $ sudo modprobe loop max_part0000 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /media/Linux_Data/project/linux/fs/sysfs/group.c:65! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: CPU 0 Modules linked in: loop(+) Pid: 43, comm: insmod Tainted: G W 2.6.39-qemu+ #155 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8113ce61>] [<ffffffff8113ce61>] internal_create_group= +0x2a/0x170 RSP: 0018:ffff880007b3fde8 EFLAGS: 00000246 RAX: 00000000ffffffef RBX: ffff880007b3d878 RCX: 00000000000007b4 RDX: ffffffff8152da50 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff880007b3d878 RBP: ffff880007b3fe38 R08: ffff880007b3fde8 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff88000783b4a8 R11: ffff880007b3d878 R12: ffffffff8152da50 R13: ffff880007b3d868 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff880007b3d800 FS: 0000000002137880(0063) GS:ffff880007c00000(0000) knlGS:00000000000000= 00 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000422680 CR3: 0000000007b50000 CR4: 00000000000006b0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 0000000000000000 DR7: 0000000000000000 Process insmod (pid: 43, threadinfo ffff880007b3e000, task ffff880007afb9c= 0) Stack: ffff880007b3fe58 ffffffff811e66dd ffff880007b3fe58 ffffffff811e570b 0000000000000010 ffff880007b3d800 ffff880007a7b390 ffff880007b3d868 0000000000400920 ffff880007b3d800 ffff880007b3fe48 ffffffff8113cfc8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811e66dd>] ? device_add+0x4bc/0x5af [<ffffffff811e570b>] ? dev_set_name+0x3c/0x3e [<ffffffff8113cfc8>] sysfs_create_group+0xe/0x12 [<ffffffff810b420e>] blk_trace_init_sysfs+0x14/0x16 [<ffffffff8116a090>] blk_register_queue+0x47/0xf7 [<ffffffff8116f527>] add_disk+0xdf/0x290 [<ffffffffa00060eb>] loop_init+0xeb/0x1b8 [loop] [<ffffffffa0006000>] ? 0xffffffffa0005fff [<ffffffff8100020a>] do_one_initcall+0x7a/0x12e [<ffffffff81096804>] sys_init_module+0x9c/0x1e0 [<ffffffff813329bb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: c3 55 48 89 e5 41 57 41 56 41 89 f6 41 55 41 54 49 89 d4 53 48 89 fb= 48 83 ec 28 48 85 ff 74 0b 85 f6 75 0b 48 83 7f 30 00 75 14 <0f> 0b eb fe = 48 83 7f 30 00 b9 ea ff ff ff 0f 84 18 01 00 00 49 RIP [<ffffffff8113ce61>] internal_create_group+0x2a/0x170 RSP <ffff880007b3fde8> ---[ end trace a123eb592043acad ]--- Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

The conflict isn't trivial but the resolution is straight-forward. * __blk_run_queue() calls in flush_end_io() and flush_data_end_io() should be called with @force_kblockd set to %true. * elv_insert() in blk_kick_flush() should use %ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with -EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler blk_queue_flush(). blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA. All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted. * ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

2010-08-07block: push down BKL into .open and .releaseArnd Bergmann
The open and release block_device_operations are currently called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must first make sure that all drivers that currently rely on this have no regressions. This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release operations for all block drivers to prepare for the next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL with their own locks or remove it completely when it can be shown that it is not needed. The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}. Most of these two functions is also under the protection of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to ->open and ->release, and the common code does not access any global data structures that need the BKL.

2010-05-21generate "change" uevent for loop deviceDavid Zeuthen
Recent udev versions probe loop devices for filesystems meaning that the /dev/disk hierarchy may contain useful entries such as $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 11 13:41 /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live -> ../../loop0 Unfortunately, no "change" uevent is generated when the loop device is detached so the symlink persists. Additionally, no "change" uevent is guaranteed to be generated when attaching an fd or changing capacity. For example, user space could open the loop device O_RDONLY (in fact, recent util-linux-ng does this) so udev's OPTIONS+="watch" machinery may not trigger the "change" uevent. This patch ensures that the "change" uevent is generated in all of these cases. As a result, the /dev/disk hierarchy works as expected for loop devices.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Steps to reproduce: [boot with loop.max_part=1] [mount -o loop something so mount fails] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000b8 IP: [<ffffffff811486ee>] blkdev_ioctl+0x2e/0xa30 PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC last sysfs file: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:35/ACPI0003:00/power_supply/ACAD/online CPU 0 Modules linked in: zfs nvidia(P) [last unloaded: zfs] Pid: 15177, comm: mount Tainted: P 2.6.32-rc4-zfs #2 Satellite X200 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811486ee>] [<ffffffff811486ee>] blkdev_ioctl+0x2e/0xa30 RSP: 0018:ffff88003b3d5bb8 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000125f RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: ffff88003b3d5ce8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 00007ffffffff000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff880071cef280 R15: 00000000000200da FS: 00007fd77cfe7740(0000) GS:ffff880001600000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00000000000000b8 CR3: 0000000001001000 CR4: 00000000000026f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process mount (pid: 15177, threadinfo ffff88003b3d4000, task ffff88007572f920) Stack: ffff88003b3d5c38 ffffffff812f95f5 ffff88007eeb6600 0000000000000000 <0> 0000000000000000 ffff88003b3d5c18 ffffffff811547d9 ffff88001bf11ef0 <0> 7fffffffffffffff ffff88001bf11ee8 ffff88001bf11ef0 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff812f95f5>] ? schedule_timeout+0x1f5/0x250 [<ffffffff811547d9>] ? rb_insert_color+0x109/0x140 [<ffffffff812fb754>] ? _spin_unlock_irq+0x14/0x40 [<ffffffff812f84c6>] ? wait_for_common+0x66/0x170 [<ffffffff8105a280>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x10 [<ffffffff810f8258>] ioctl_by_bdev+0x38/0x50 [<ffffffff811d2481>] loop_clr_fd+0x1e1/0x210 [<ffffffff811d2522>] lo_release+0x72/0x80 [<ffffffff810f934c>] __blkdev_put+0x1ac/0x1d0 [<ffffffff810f937b>] blkdev_put+0xb/0x10 [<ffffffff810f93b9>] blkdev_close+0x39/0x60 [<ffffffff810ccef3>] __fput+0xd3/0x230 [<ffffffff810cd06d>] fput+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff810c9680>] filp_close+0x50/0x80 [<ffffffff81061f11>] put_files_struct+0x81/0x100 [<ffffffff81061fde>] exit_files+0x4e/0x60 [<ffffffff81063ec5>] do_exit+0x6b5/0x730 [<ffffffff8107b279>] ? up_read+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff8104c86e>] ? do_page_fault+0x18e/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81063f81>] do_group_exit+0x41/0xc0 [<ffffffff81064012>] sys_exit_group+0x12/0x20 [<ffffffff81030deb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: f8 48 89 e5 48 81 ec 30 01 00 00 48 89 5d d8 4c 89 6d e8 4c 89 65 e0 4c 89 75 f0 4c 89 7d f8 48 89 bd e8 fe ff ff 49 89 cd 89 f3 <49> 8b 88 b8 00 00 00 81 fa 68 12 00 00 0f 84 57 05 00 00 0f 86 RIP [<ffffffff811486ee>] blkdev_ioctl+0x2e/0xa30 RSP <ffff88003b3d5bb8> CR2: 00000000000000b8 ---[ end trace c0b4d3c3118d1427 ]--- Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

2009-09-11bio: first step in sanitizing the bio->bi_rw flag testingJens Axboe
Get rid of any functions that test for these bits and make callers use bio_rw_flagged() directly. Then it is at least directly apparent what variable and flag they check. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!) * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW) Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-05-11splice: implement default splice_read methodMiklos Szeredi
If f_op->splice_read() is not implemented, fall back to a plain read. Use vfs_readv() to read into previously allocated pages. This will allow splice and functions using splice, such as the loop device, to work on all filesystems. This includes "direct_io" files in fuse which bypass the page cache.
