Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking 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.

md: add block tracing for bio_remapping The block tracing infrastructure (accessed with blktrace/blkparse) supports the tracing of mapping bios from one device to another. This is currently used when a bio in a partition is mapped to the whole device, when bios are mapped by dm, and for mapping in md/raid5. Other md personalities do not include this tracing yet, so add it. When a read-error is detected we redirect the request to a different device. This could justifiably be seen as a new mapping for the originial bio, or a secondary mapping for the bio that errors. This patch uses the second option. When md is used under dm-raid, the mappings are not traced as we do not have access to the block device number of the parent.

md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of suspend/resume The use of 'rcu' to protect accesses to ->private_data so that the ->private_data could be updated predates the introduction of mddev_suspend/mddev_resume. These are a cleaner mechanism for providing stability while swapping in a new ->private data - it is used by level_store() to support changing of raid levels. So get rid of the RCU stuff and just use mddev_suspend, mddev_resume. As these function call ->quiesce(), we add an empty function for linear just like for raid0.

md linear: fix a race between linear_add() and linear_congested() Recently I receive a bug report that on Linux v3.0 based kerenl, hot add disk to a md linear device causes kernel crash at linear_congested(). From the crash image analysis, I find in linear_congested(), mddev->raid_disks contains value N, but conf->disks[] only has N-1 pointers available. Then a NULL pointer deference crashes the kernel. There is a race between linear_add() and linear_congested(), RCU stuffs used in these two functions cannot avoid the race. Since Linuv v4.0 RCU code is replaced by introducing mddev_suspend(). After checking the upstream code, it seems linear_congested() is not called in generic_make_request() code patch, so mddev_suspend() cannot provent it from being called. The possible race still exists. Here I explain how the race still exists in current code. For a machine has many CPUs, on one CPU, linear_add() is called to add a hard disk to a md linear device; at the same time on other CPU, linear_congested() is called to detect whether this md linear device is congested before issuing an I/O request onto it. Now I use a possible code execution time sequence to demo how the possible race happens, seq linear_add() linear_congested() 0 conf=mddev->private 1 oldconf=mddev->private 2 mddev->raid_disks++ 3 for (i=0; i<mddev->raid_disks;i++) 4 bdev_get_queue(conf->disks[i].rdev->bdev) 5 mddev->private=newconf In linear_add() mddev->raid_disks is increased in time seq 2, and on another CPU in linear_congested() the for-loop iterates conf->disks[i] by the increased mddev->raid_disks in time seq 3,4. But conf with one more element (which is a pointer to struct dev_info type) to conf->disks[] is not updated yet, accessing its structure member in time seq 4 will cause a NULL pointer deference fault. To fix this race, there are 2 parts of modification in the patch, 1) Add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, as a copy of mddev->raid_disks. It is initialized in linear_conf(), always being consistent with pointers number of 'struct dev_info disks[]'. When iterating conf->disks[] in linear_congested(), use conf->raid_disks to replace mddev->raid_disks in the for-loop, then NULL pointer deference will not happen again. 2) RCU stuffs are back again, and use kfree_rcu() in linear_add() to free oldconf memory. Because oldconf may be referenced as mddev->private in linear_congested(), kfree_rcu() makes sure that its memory will not be released until no one uses it any more. Also some code comments are added in this patch, to make this modification to be easier understandable. This patch can be applied for kernels since v4.0 after commit: 3be260cc18f8 ("md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of suspend/resume"). But this bug is reported on Linux v3.0 based kernel, for people who maintain kernels before Linux v4.0, they need to do some back back port to this patch. Changelog: - V3: add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, and use kfree_rcu() to replace rcu_call() in linear_add(). - v2: add RCU stuffs by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil. - v1: initial effort.

md: make ->congested robust against personality changes. There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested' bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc. So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central 'mddev_congested'. When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended' so no IO is processed. If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the array is congested, which is a safe guess. As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock() region. This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

From the crash image analysis, I find in linear_congested(), mddev->raid_disks contains value N, but conf->disks[] only has N-1 pointers available. Then a NULL pointer deference crashes the kernel. There is a race between linear_add() and linear_congested(), RCU stuffs used in these two functions cannot avoid the race. Since Linuv v4.0 RCU code is replaced by introducing mddev_suspend(). After checking the upstream code, it seems linear_congested() is not called in generic_make_request() code patch, so mddev_suspend() cannot provent it from being called. The possible race still exists. Here I explain how the race still exists in current code. For a machine has many CPUs, on one CPU, linear_add() is called to add a hard disk to a md linear device; at the same time on other CPU, linear_congested() is called to detect whether this md linear device is congested before issuing an I/O request onto it. Now I use a possible code execution time sequence to demo how the possible race happens, seq linear_add() linear_congested() 0 conf=mddev->private 1 oldconf=mddev->private 2 mddev->raid_disks++ 3 for (i=0; i<mddev->raid_disks;i++) 4 bdev_get_queue(conf->disks[i].rdev->bdev) 5 mddev->private=newconf In linear_add() mddev->raid_disks is increased in time seq 2, and on another CPU in linear_congested() the for-loop iterates conf->disks[i] by the increased mddev->raid_disks in time seq 3,4. But conf with one more element (which is a pointer to struct dev_info type) to conf->disks[] is not updated yet, accessing its structure member in time seq 4 will cause a NULL pointer deference fault. To fix this race, there are 2 parts of modification in the patch, 1) Add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, as a copy of mddev->raid_disks. It is initialized in linear_conf(), always being consistent with pointers number of 'struct dev_info disks[]'. When iterating conf->disks[] in linear_congested(), use conf->raid_disks to replace mddev->raid_disks in the for-loop, then NULL pointer deference will not happen again. 2) RCU stuffs are back again, and use kfree_rcu() in linear_add() to free oldconf memory. Because oldconf may be referenced as mddev->private in linear_congested(), kfree_rcu() makes sure that its memory will not be released until no one uses it any more. Also some code comments are added in this patch, to make this modification to be easier understandable. This patch can be applied for kernels since v4.0 after commit: 3be260cc18f8 ("md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of suspend/resume"). But this bug is reported on Linux v3.0 based kernel, for people who maintain kernels before Linux v4.0, they need to do some back back port to this patch. Changelog: - V3: add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, and use kfree_rcu() to replace rcu_call() in linear_add(). - v2: add RCU stuffs by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil. - v1: initial effort.

[PATCH] md: define backing_dev_info.congested_fn for raid0 and linear Each backing_dev needs to be able to report whether it is congested, either by modulating BDI_*_congested in ->state, or by defining a ->congested_fn. md/raid did neither of these. This patch add a congested_fn which simply checks all component devices to see if they are congested.

md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of suspend/resume The use of 'rcu' to protect accesses to ->private_data so that the ->private_data could be updated predates the introduction of mddev_suspend/mddev_resume. These are a cleaner mechanism for providing stability while swapping in a new ->private data - it is used by level_store() to support changing of raid levels. So get rid of the RCU stuff and just use mddev_suspend, mddev_resume. As these function call ->quiesce(), we add an empty function for linear just like for raid0.

md: tidy up rdev_for_each usage. md.h has an 'rdev_for_each()' macro for iterating the rdevs in an mddev. However it uses the 'safe' version of list_for_each_entry, and so requires the extra variable, but doesn't include 'safe' in the name, which is useful documentation. Consequently some places use this safe version without needing it, and many use an explicity list_for_each entry. So: - rename rdev_for_each to rdev_for_each_safe - create a new rdev_for_each which uses the plain list_for_each_entry, - use the 'safe' version only where needed, and convert all other list_for_each_entry calls to use rdev_for_each.

When iterating conf->disks[] in linear_congested(), use conf->raid_disks to replace mddev->raid_disks in the for-loop, then NULL pointer deference will not happen again. 2) RCU stuffs are back again, and use kfree_rcu() in linear_add() to free oldconf memory. Because oldconf may be referenced as mddev->private in linear_congested(), kfree_rcu() makes sure that its memory will not be released until no one uses it any more. Also some code comments are added in this patch, to make this modification to be easier understandable. This patch can be applied for kernels since v4.0 after commit: 3be260cc18f8 ("md/linear: remove rcu protections in favour of suspend/resume"). But this bug is reported on Linux v3.0 based kernel, for people who maintain kernels before Linux v4.0, they need to do some back back port to this patch. Changelog: - V3: add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, and use kfree_rcu() to replace rcu_call() in linear_add(). - v2: add RCU stuffs by suggestion from Shaohua and Neil. - v1: initial effort.

md: Move check for bitmap presence to personality code. If the superblock of a component device indicates the presence of a bitmap but the corresponding raid personality does not support bitmaps (raid0, linear, multipath, faulty), then something is seriously wrong and we'd better refuse to run such an array. Currently, this check is performed while the superblocks are examined, i.e. before entering personality code. Therefore the generic md layer must know which raid levels support bitmaps and which do not. This patch avoids this layer violation without adding identical code to various personalities. This is accomplished by introducing a new public function to md.c, md_check_no_bitmap(), which replaces the hard-coded checks in the superblock loading functions. A call to md_check_no_bitmap() is added to the ->run method of each personality which does not support bitmaps and assembly is aborted if at least one component device contains a bitmap.

md linear: fix a race between linear_add() and linear_congested() Recently I receive a bug report that on Linux v3.0 based kerenl, hot add disk to a md linear device causes kernel crash at linear_congested(). From the crash image analysis, I find in linear_congested(), mddev->raid_disks contains value N, but conf->disks[] only has N-1 pointers available. Then a NULL pointer deference crashes the kernel. There is a race between linear_add() and linear_congested(), RCU stuffs used in these two functions cannot avoid the race. Since Linuv v4.0 RCU code is replaced by introducing mddev_suspend(). After checking the upstream code, it seems linear_congested() is not called in generic_make_request() code patch, so mddev_suspend() cannot provent it from being called. The possible race still exists. Here I explain how the race still exists in current code. For a machine has many CPUs, on one CPU, linear_add() is called to add a hard disk to a md linear device; at the same time on other CPU, linear_congested() is called to detect whether this md linear device is congested before issuing an I/O request onto it. Now I use a possible code execution time sequence to demo how the possible race happens, seq linear_add() linear_congested() 0 conf=mddev->private 1 oldconf=mddev->private 2 mddev->raid_disks++ 3 for (i=0; i<mddev->raid_disks;i++) 4 bdev_get_queue(conf->disks[i].rdev->bdev) 5 mddev->private=newconf In linear_add() mddev->raid_disks is increased in time seq 2, and on another CPU in linear_congested() the for-loop iterates conf->disks[i] by the increased mddev->raid_disks in time seq 3,4. But conf with one more element (which is a pointer to struct dev_info type) to conf->disks[] is not updated yet, accessing its structure member in time seq 4 will cause a NULL pointer deference fault. To fix this race, there are 2 parts of modification in the patch, 1) Add 'int raid_disks' in struct linear_conf, as a copy of mddev->raid_disks. It is initialized in linear_conf(), always being consistent with pointers number of 'struct dev_info disks[]'.

md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER. In the core part (md.c), the following changes are notable. * Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress. * REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry logic. Retry logic is removed. * Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be deferred to request_queue of member devices. md_barrier_request() is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly. For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough. raid1, 5 and 10 need the following conversions. * raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to request_queues of member devices. Barrier related logic removed. * raid5: Queue draining logic dropped. FUA bit is propagated through biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying writes was FUA. preread_active_stripes handling in make_request() is updated as suggested by Neil Brown. * raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones. linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.

md: make ->congested robust against personality changes. There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested' bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc. So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central 'mddev_congested'. When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended' so no IO is processed. If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the array is congested, which is a safe guess. As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock() region.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.
