16 years agoFix barrier fail detection in XFS
Christoph Hellwig [Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:28:29 +0000 (17:28 +1100)]
Fix barrier fail detection in XFS

Currently we disable barriers as soon as we get a buffer in xlog_iodone
that has the XBF_ORDERED flag cleared.  But this can be the case not only
for buffers where the barrier failed, but also the first buffer of a
split log write in case of a log wraparound.  Due to the disabled
barriers we can easily get directory corruption on unclean shutdowns.
So instead of using this check add a new buffer flag for failed barrier
writes.

This is a regression vs 2.6.26 caused by patch to use the right macro
to check for the ORDERED flag, as we previously got true returned for
every buffer.

Thanks to Toei Rei for reporting the bug.

16 years agoPnP: move pnpacpi/pnpbios_init to after PCI init
Linus Torvalds [Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:00:17 +0000 (08:00 -0700)]
PnP: move pnpacpi/pnpbios_init to after PCI init

We already did that a long time ago for pnp_system_init, but
pnpacpi_init and pnpbios_init remained as subsys_initcalls, and get
linked into the kernel before the arch-specific routines that finalize
the PCI resources (pci_subsys_init).

This means that the PnP routines would either register their resources
before the PCI layer could, or would be unable to check whether a PCI
resource had already been registered.  Both are problematic.

I wanted to do this before 2.6.27, but every time we change something
like this, something breaks.  That said, _every_ single time we trust
some firmware (like PnP tables) more than we trust the hardware itself
(like PCI probing), the problems have been worse.

dm-raid1 is setting the 'DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR' flag unconditionally

assigned section of disk to one or more other disks.  The

When not set:
kcopyd will immediately stop the copy operation when an error is
encountered.

When set:
kcopyd will try to proceed regardless of errors and try to continue
copying any remaining amount.

Since dm-raid1 tracks regions of the address space that are (or
are not) in sync and it now has the ability to handle these
errors, we can safely enable this optimization.  This optimization

Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPEND

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.

It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example.  So
we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.

But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).

So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now.  I doubt anybody cares, and this
way we have one less gray area to worry about.

block: add lld busy state exporting interface

This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's
busy state from the block layer.
blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking
if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy().

This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below.

Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when
they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device.
It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue
for a chance of merging.

Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow
the same logic.
However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device
to check if the underlying device(s) are busy.
If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to
the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in
the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging.
This causes performance problem on burst I/O load.

With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported
via q->lld_busy_fn().  So the request stacking driver can check it
and stop dispatching requests if busy.

The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately:
    1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately.
    0: when the device driver can process requests immediately,
       including abnormal situations where the device driver needs
       to kill all requests.

block: add a queue flag for request stacking support

This patch adds a queue flag to indicate the block device can be
used for request stacking.

Request stacking drivers need to stack their devices on top of
only devices of which q->request_fn is functional.
Since bio stacking drivers (e.g. md, loop) basically initialize
their queue using blk_alloc_queue() and don't set q->request_fn,
the check of (q->request_fn == NULL) looks enough for that purpose.

However, dm will become both types of stacking driver (bio-based and
request-based).  And dm will always set q->request_fn even if the dm
device is bio-based of which q->request_fn is not functional actually.
So we need something else to distinguish the type of the device.
Adding a queue flag is a solution for that.

The reason why dm always sets q->request_fn is to keep
the compatibility of dm user-space tools.
Currently, all dm user-space tools are using bio-based dm without
specifying the type of the dm device they use.
To use request-based dm without changing such tools, the kernel
must decide the type of the dm device automatically.
The automatic type decision can't be done at the device creation time
and needs to be deferred until such tools load a mapping table,
since the actual type is decided by dm target type included in
the mapping table.

So a dm device has to be initialized using blk_init_queue()
so that we can load either type of table.
Then, all queue stuffs are set (e.g. q->request_fn) and we have
no element to distinguish that it is bio-based or request-based,
even after a table is loaded and the type of the device is decided.

By the way, some stuffs of the queue (e.g. request_list, elevator)
are needless when the dm device is used as bio-based.
But the memory size is not so large (about 20[KB] per queue on ia64),
so I hope the memory loss can be acceptable for bio-based dm users.

Though it looks like end_that_request_first() of older kernels,
blk_update_request() should be used only by request stacking drivers.

Request-based dm will use it in bio->bi_end_io callback to update
the original request when a data part of a cloned request completes.
Followings are additional background information of why request-based
dm needs this interface.

  - Request stacking drivers can't use blk_end_request() directly from
    the lower driver's completion context (bio->bi_end_io or rq->end_io),
    because some device drivers (e.g. ide) may try to complete
    their request with queue lock held, and it may cause deadlock.
    See below for detailed description of possible deadlock:
    <http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120311479108569&w=2>

  - To solve that, request-based dm offloads the completion of
    cloned struct request to softirq context (i.e. using
    blk_complete_request() from rq->end_io).

  - Though it is possible to use the same solution from bio->bi_end_io,
    it will delay the notification of bio completion to the original
    submitter.  Also, it will cause inefficient partial completion,
    because the lower driver can't perform the cloned request anymore
    and request-based dm needs to requeue and redispatch it to
    the lower driver again later.  That's not good.

  - So request-based dm needs blk_update_request() to perform the bio
    completion in the lower driver's completion context, which is more
    efficient.

block: blk_cleanup_queue() should call blk_sync_queue()

When a driver calls blk_cleanup_queue(), the device should be fully idle.
However, the block layer may have pending plugging timers and the IO
schedulers may have pending work in the work queues. So quisce the device
by waiting for the timer and flushing the work queues.

Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach
to a Xen domU was 16. This limitation turned out to be problematic for
some users, so it was expanded to handle a much larger number of disks.
However, this requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront
scans for disks. This functionality is already present in the Xen
linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the attached patch adds this functionality to
the mainline xen-blkfront implementation. I successfully tested it on a
2.6.25 tree, and build tested it on 2.6.27-rc3.

Two mods to blkdev_issue_discard(), thinking ahead to its use on swap:

1. Add gfp_mask argument, so swap allocation can use it where GFP_KERNEL
   might deadlock but GFP_NOIO is safe.

2. Enlarge nr_sects argument from unsigned to sector_t: unsigned long is

Change sb_issue_discard()'s nr_blocks to sector_t too; but no need seen
