dm: avoid _hash_lock deadlock Fix a reported deadlock if there are still unprocessed multipath events on a device that is being removed. _hash_lock is held during dev_remove while trying to send the outstanding events. Sending the events requests the _hash_lock again in dm_copy_name_and_uuid. This patch introduces a separate lock around regions that modify the link to the hash table (dm_set_mdptr) or the name or uuid so that dm_copy_name_and_uuid no longer needs _hash_lock. Additionally, dm_copy_name_and_uuid can only be called if md exists so we can drop the dm_get() and dm_put() which can lead to a BUG() while md is being freed.

dm table: rework reference counting Rework table reference counting. The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called. Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all). If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table destructor is called from almost random kernel code. This leads to various problems: * dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the destructor, which calls some sleeping function. * the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the same process. * stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers. The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be called only at predetermined places. The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions is used for table creation/destruction. Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it. When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years) and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't care if it takes one tick more or not. This way, the destructor is called only at specific points (dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy destruction can't happen. Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested(). Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

dm: separate device deletion from dm_put This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put() to make sure the deletion happens in the process context. By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process) context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context. As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out by Mikulas below disappears. http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2 Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system: dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) Some more backgrounds and details: In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove the mapped_device before the last request completes: CPU0 CPU1 ================================================================= <<INTERRUPT>> blk_end_request_all(clone_rq) blk_update_request(clone_rq) bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio blk_update_request(orig_rq) bio_endio(orig_bio) <<I/O completed>> dm_blk_close() dev_remove() dm_put(md) <<Free md>> blk_finish_request(clone_rq) .... dm_end_request(clone_rq) free_rq_clone(clone_rq) blk_end_request_all(orig_rq) rq_completed(md) So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O until its request completion handling is fully done. However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic. To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code, dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put() just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device. By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric model below is introduced: dm_create(): create a mapped_device dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear, then deletes the mapped_device. dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task. And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero. For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(), which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f" may be stuck and never return. And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.

dm: fix truncated status strings Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

dm: fix truncated status strings Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the buffer. When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

dm: do not initialise full request queue when bio based Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc). This means bio-based DM devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree or 'scheduler' other than "none"). In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes. Therefore a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs attributes exist. First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device (needed for both bio and request-based DM). Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load sequence. Factor DM device's request_queue initialization: - common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue(). - specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue(). The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to md->type, during table_load(). A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type. But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time (because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory). Therefore any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of establishing md->type.

dm table: rework reference counting Rework table reference counting. The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called. Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all). If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table destructor is called from almost random kernel code. This leads to various problems: * dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the destructor, which calls some sleeping function. * the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the same process. * stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers. The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be called only at predetermined places. The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions is used for table creation/destruction. Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it. When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years) and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't care if it takes one tick more or not. This way, the destructor is called only at specific points (dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy destruction can't happen. Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested(). Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

llseek: automatically add .llseek fop All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

dm: avoid _hash_lock deadlock Fix a reported deadlock if there are still unprocessed multipath events on a device that is being removed. _hash_lock is held during dev_remove while trying to send the outstanding events. Sending the events requests the _hash_lock again in dm_copy_name_and_uuid.

Additionally, dm_copy_name_and_uuid can only be called if md exists so we can drop the dm_get() and dm_put() which can lead to a BUG() while md is being freed.
