|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device). The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory. Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing bsg.

* | | block: Fix the starving writes bug in the anticipatory IO schedulerDivyesh Shah2008-07-011-0/+2

It does the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are completed. When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request, it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of no previous pending requests. On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the ad->changed_data flag. Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for the previous batch. This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch right away. This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch to a read batch with an in-flight write request). I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current request is in-flight. This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD. Bug reproduction: A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is: - dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null & - lilo The lilo takes forever to complete. This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and another test program doing msync(). The example test program below should print out a message after every iteration but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress. ==== Example test program using msync() (thanks to suleiman AT google DOT com) inline uint64_t rdtsc(void) { int64_t tsc; __asm __volatile("rdtsc" : "=A" (tsc)); return (tsc); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct stat st; uint64_t e, s, t; char *p, q; long i; int fd; if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage: %s <file>\n", argv[0]); return (1); } if ((fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_NOATIME)) < 0) err(1, "open"); if (fstat(fd, &st) < 0) err(1, "fstat"); p = mmap(NULL, st.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); t = 0; for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { *p = 0; msync(p, 4096, MS_SYNC); s = rdtsc(); *p = 0; __asm __volatile(""::: "memory"); e = rdtsc(); if (argc > 2) printf("%d: %lld cycles %jd %jd\n", i, e - s, (intmax_t)s, (intmax_t)e); t += e - s; } printf("average time: %lld cycles\n", t / 1000); return (0); } Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

That isn't actually true. The block_class device list also contains the partitions we've discovered so far, and you can't just do a 'dev_to_disk()' on those. So make sure to only work on devices that block/genhd.c has registered itself, something we can test by checking the 'dev->type' member. This makes the loop in blk_lookup_devt() match the other such loops in this file. [ We may want to do an alternate version that knows to handle _either_ whole-disk devices or partitions, but for now this is the minimal fix for a series of crashes reported by Mariusz Kozlowski in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/25/25 and Ingo in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/9/39 ] Reported-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Joao Luis Meloni Assirati <assirati@nonada.if.usp.br> Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* Remove blkdev warning triggered by using mdNeil Brown2008-05-142-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock, get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits. For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock. Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated. With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

* block: avoid duplicate calls to get_part() in disk stat codeJens Axboe2008-05-071-8/+10
| | | | | | | | | get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking up the partition twice, to make matters even worse. Change the stat add code to accept a passed in partition instead.

* block: optimize generic_unplug_device()Jens Axboe2008-05-071-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Original patch from Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Mike Anderson was doing an OLTP benchmark on a computer with 48 physical disks mapped to one logical device via device mapper. He found that there was a slowdown on request_queue->lock in function generic_unplug_device. The slowdown is caused by the fact that when some code calls unplug on the device mapper, device mapper calls unplug on all physical disks. These unplug calls take the lock, find that the queue is already unplugged, release the lock and exit. With the below patch, performance of the benchmark was increased by 18% (the whole OLTP application, not just block layer microbenchmarks). So I'm submitting this patch for upstream. I think the patch is correct, because when more threads call simultaneously plug and unplug, it is unspecified, if the queue is or isn't plugged (so the patch can't make this worse). And the caller that plugged the queue should unplug it anyway. (if it doesn't, there's 3ms timeout).

* cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handlingJens Axboe2008-05-072-7/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(), however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and dereferencing the first object on the list. So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(), and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.

* block: adjust tagging function queue bit lockingJens Axboe2008-05-071-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | For most initialization purposes, calling blk_queue_init_tags() without the queue lock held is OK. Only if called for resizing an existing map must the lock be held. Ditto for tag cleanup, the maps are reference counted. So switch the general queue flag setting to the unlocked variant, but retain the locked variant for resizing.

| * [SCSI] add support for variable length extended commandsBoaz Harrosh2008-05-021-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for variable-length, extended, and vendor specific CDBs to scsi-ml. It is now possible for initiators and ULD's to issue these types of commands. LLDs need not change much. All they need is to raise the .max_cmd_len to the longest command they support (see iscsi patch). - clean-up some code paths that did not expect commands to be larger than 16, and change cmd_len members' type to short as char is not enough.

* | block: Skip I/O merges when disabledAlan D. Brunelle2008-04-292-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block I/O + elevator + I/O scheduler code spend a lot of time trying to merge I/Os -- rightfully so under "normal" circumstances. However, if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in nature, the cycles are wasted. This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up a non-trivial amount of CPU cycles. Signed-off-by: Alan D.
