This avoids cache line bouncing when many processes lock the semaphore for read. New percpu lock implementation The lock consists of an array of percpu unsigned integers, a boolean variable and a mutex. When we take the lock for read, we enter rcu read section, check for a "locked" variable. If it is false, we increase a percpu counter on the current cpu and exit the rcu section. If "locked" is true, we exit the rcu section, take the mutex and drop it (this waits until a writer finished) and retry. Unlocking for read just decreases percpu variable. Note that we can unlock on a difference cpu than where we locked, in this case the counter underflows. The sum of all percpu counters represents the number of processes that hold the lock for read. When we need to lock for write, we take the mutex, set "locked" variable to true and synchronize rcu. Since RCU has been synchronized, no processes can create new read locks. We wait until the sum of percpu counters is zero - when it is, there are no readers in the critical section. Signed-off-by:

The kernel may crash when block size is changed and I/O is issued simultaneously. Because some subsystems (udev or lvm) may read any block device anytime, the bug actually puts any code that changes a block device size in jeopardy. The crash can be reproduced if you place "msleep(1000)" to blkdev_get_blocks just before "bh->b_size = max_blocks << inode->i_blkbits;". Then, run "dd if=/dev/ram0 of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1 iflag=direct" While it is waiting in msleep, run "blockdev --setbsz 2048 /dev/ram0" You get a BUG. The direct and non-direct I/O is written with the assumption that block size does not change. It doesn't seem practical to fix these crashes one-by-one there may be many crash possibilities when block size changes at a certain place and it is impossible to find them all and verify the code. This patch introduces a new rw-lock bd_block_size_semaphore. The lock is taken for read during I/O. It is taken for write when changing block size. Consequently, block size can't be changed while I/O is being submitted. For asynchronous I/O, the patch only prevents block size change while the I/O is being submitted. The block size can change when the I/O is in progress or when the I/O is being finished. This is acceptable because there are no accesses to block size when asynchronous I/O is being finished. The patch prevents block size changing while the device is mapped with mmap. Signed-off-by:

A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set. For request-based drivers, blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the initial bypass is still in effect. In blk_init_allocated_queue(), or QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT to q->queue_flags instead of overwriting. Signed-off-by:

block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue() b82d4b19 ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off bypass mode on a queue being initialized. Some drivers allocate and then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto significant overhead. Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete successfully. Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is used in combination with a bio-based driver. Trying to configure (echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end. This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for any userland-visible queues regardless of its type. I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue which isn't visible to userland. If there are such users, we need a different solution. Signed-off-by:

The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O. This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range.

Previously, there was bio_clone() but it only allocated from the fs bio set; as a result various users were open coding it and using __bio_clone(). This changes bio_clone() to become bio_clone_bioset(), and then we add bio_clone() and bio_clone_kmalloc() as wrappers around it, making use of the functionality the last patch adedd. This will also help in a later patch changing how bio cloning works. Signed-off-by:

Previously, bio_kmalloc() and bio_alloc_bioset() behaved slightly different because there was some almost-duplicated code - this fixes some of that. The important change is that previously bio_kmalloc() always set bi_io_vec = bi_inline_vecs, even if nr_iovecs == 0 - unlike bio_alloc_bioset(). This would cause bio_has_data() to return true; I don't know if this resulted in any actual bugs but it was certainly wrong. bio_kmalloc() and bio_alloc_bioset() also have different arbitrary limits on nr_iovecs - 1024 (UIO_MAXIOV) for bio_kmalloc(), 256 (BIO_MAX_PAGES) for bio_alloc_bioset(). This patch doesn't fix that, but at least they're enforced closer together and hopefully they will be fixed in a later patch. This'll also help with some future cleanups - there are a fair number of functions that allocate bios (e.g. bio_clone()), and now they don't have to be duplicated for bio_alloc(), bio_alloc_bioset(), and bio_kmalloc().

Now that we've got generic code for freeing bios allocated from bio pools, this isn't needed anymore. This patch also makes bio_free() static, since without bi_destructor there should be no need for it to be called anywhere else. bio_free() is now only called from bio_put, so we can refactor those a bit - move some code from bio_put() to bio_free() and kill the redundant bio->bi_next = NULL. v5: Switch to BIO_KMALLOC_POOL ((void *)~0), per Boaz v6: BIO_KMALLOC_POOL now NULL, drop bio_free's EXPORT_SYMBOL v7: No #define BIO_KMALLOC_POOL anymore Signed-off-by:

Reusing bios is something that's been highly frowned upon in the past, but driver code keeps doing it anyways. If it's going to happen anyways, we should provide a generic method. This'll help with getting rid of bi_destructor - drivers/block/pktcdvd.c was open coding it, by doing a bio_init() and resetting bi_destructor. This required reordering struct bio, but the block layer is not yet nearly fast enough for any cacheline effects to matter here. v5: Add a define BIO_RESET_BITS, to be very explicit about what parts of bio->bi_flags are saved. v6: Further commenting verbosity, per Tejun v9: Add a function comment Signed-off-by:

Previously, dm_rq_clone_bio_info needed to be freed by the bio's destructor to avoid a memory leak in the blk_rq_prep_clone() error path. This gets rid of a memory allocation and means we can kill dm_rq_bio_destructor. The _rq_bio_info_cache kmem cache is unused now and needs to be deleted, but due to the way io_pool is used and overloaded this looks not quite trivial so I'm leaving it for a later patch. v6: Fix comment on struct dm_rq_clone_bio_info, per Tejun Signed-off-by:

With the old code, when you allocate a bio from a bio pool you have to implement your own destructor that knows how to find the bio pool the bio was originally allocated from.

Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory. Signed-off-by:

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the ! is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep() which is very bad at that point during boot. Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64 does. Signed-off-by:

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote() is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing for it to do. In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule() is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(), this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux(). The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers. Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that ipi_message is not just accessed locally. This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations. Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases. These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on different cores of a POWER7 machine. The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly is due to Milton Miller. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.0+ Reported-by:
